用法說明
How is "Bring" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Bring"?
bring doing vs bring to do
- bring doing 通常用於描述「帶來某種持續的狀態或活動」，強調的是伴隨主動作而來的、正在進行的狀況。
- bring to do 則表示「促使或導致某人去做某事」，強調的是引發一個新的、具體的行動。
- 在表示「導致某種結果」時，兩者有時可互換，但 bring doing 更側重於「帶來某種正在發生的後果」，而 bring to do 更側重於「帶來去做某事的動機或決定」。 EN: The loud music brought everyone dancing. 翻譯: 喧鬧的音樂讓所有人都跳起舞來。
EN:His words finally brought her to apologize.
翻譯:他的話終於讓她開口道歉了。
