常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Bug"?Which "Bug" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×The software is bugging.
✓The software has a bug. / The software is buggy.
作為動詞的 'bug' 意思是「煩擾」或「安裝竊聽器」，不用來描述軟體有缺陷。描述軟體有缺陷時，應使用名詞 'bug' 或形容詞 'buggy'。
×Stop to bug me!
✓Stop bugging me!
動詞 'bug' 在 'stop' 後面應使用動名詞 (gerund) 形式，表示停止正在進行的動作。'Stop to bug' 意指停下來（去做別的事）以便煩擾，語意不通。
×I bugged by the loud noise.
✓I was bugged by the loud noise. / The loud noise bugged me.
當想表達「被...煩擾」的被動語態時，必須使用被動式 'be bugged by'。原句缺少了 'was' 這個助動詞。
×They bugged a microphone in the room.
✓They bugged the room. / They planted a bug in the room.
動詞 'bug' 在表示「安裝竊聽器」時，其受詞通常是地點（如房間、電話），而不是竊聽器裝置本身。裝置本身是名詞 'a bug'。
×This problem really bugs to me.
✓This problem really bugs me.
動詞 'bug' 是及物動詞，後面直接接受詞（被煩擾的人），不需要介系詞 'to'。
