常見錯誤

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

×I will brine the chicken with salt water.

I will brine the chicken in salt water.

使用動詞 'brine' 時,正確的介系詞是 'in',表示將食物浸泡在鹽水中。使用 'with' 會讓人誤解為用鹽水來刷洗或塗抹,而非浸泡。

×She brines the pork for to make it juicy.

She brines the pork to make it juicy.

表達目的時,應使用不定詞 'to make',而非 'for to make'。'For' 後面應接名詞或動名詞 (e.g., for making),但在此語境中,直接使用 'to + 動詞原形' 表示目的更為自然且正確。

×This recipe needs the meat to be brined by 12 hours.

This recipe requires the meat to be brined for 12 hours.

表示持續時間應使用介系詞 'for',而非 'by'。'By' 用於表示截止時間 (e.g., by noon)。此外,'needs' 在此語境雖可理解,但 'requires' 或 'calls for' 是食譜中更標準的用法。

×Did you already brine the vegetables?

Have you already brined the vegetables?

詢問一個對現在有影響的已完成的動作(例如:醃漬是否已完成,影響後續烹飪步驟),應使用現在完成式 (have + past participle),而非過去式。過去式僅用於描述過去某個特定時間發生的動作。

×Brine the meat is an important step.

Brining the meat is an important step.

當一個動詞(如 brine)作為句子的主語時,必須使用其動名詞形式 (brining) 或不定詞形式 (to brine)。使用原形動詞 'brine' 作為主語是不符合英文語法的。

×I forget to brine the tofu yesterday.

I forgot to brine the tofu yesterday.

句子中有明確的過去時間狀語 'yesterday',動詞必須使用過去式 'forgot'。'Forget' 是現在式或原形動詞,用在此處會造成時態不一致。
