常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Box"?Which "Box" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×I will box the gift.

I will box up the gift.

當「box」作為動詞表示「裝箱」時,通常會搭配介系詞「up」使用,以明確表達將物品放入箱子中的動作。單獨使用「box」可能被誤解為「拳擊」。

×He boxed the toy.

He put the toy in a box.

雖然「box」作為動詞有「裝箱」的意思,但在日常口語中,描述「把某物放進盒子裡」這個具體動作時,更常使用「put something in a box」這個說法,以避免聽起來過於正式或技術性。

×They boxed each other in the ring. (meaning: they fought)

They boxed in the ring.

當「box」指「進行拳擊運動」時,它是不及物動詞,後面不直接接被打的對象。如果要指明對手,需使用介系詞「with」。句子「They boxed each other」聽起來不自然,像是他們互相把對方裝箱。

×The tall buildings boxed the view.

The tall buildings boxed in the view. / The tall buildings blocked the view.

「box」單獨使用時,沒有「包圍、限制」的比喻義。要表達此意,必須使用片語動詞「box in」或「box someone/something in」,意指「將…圍住、限制…的空間或選擇」。

×I have box the items yesterday.

I boxed up the items yesterday.

動詞「box」的過去式及過去分詞為規則變化「boxed」。常見錯誤是忘記在過去時態中加上「-ed」,或誤用不規則變化。
