常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Built-up"?Which "Built-up" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×The area is built up quickly.
✓The area is being built up quickly.
將 'built-up' 誤用作動詞。'built-up' 是形容詞，意為「建築密集的；已開發的」。若要表達「正在開發」的動作，應使用動詞短語 'is being built up'。
×It's a densely built up urban center.
✓It's a densely built-up urban center.
當 'built-up' 作為複合形容詞置於名詞前時，必須使用連字符。省略連字符會造成語意不清或文法錯誤。
×This is a very built-up country in terms of economy.
✓This is a very developed country in terms of economy.
混淆 'built-up' 與 'developed' 的用法。'built-up' 主要指物理環境上建築物密集、已開發的狀態，通常用於描述區域、土地。描述國家或經濟的「發達」應使用 'developed'。
×This land will be built-up next year.
✓This land will be built up next year.
錯誤地將未來式中的動詞短語 'will be built up' 加上連字符。連字符僅用於作為形容詞的 'built-up'（通常置於名詞前）。當 'built up' 作為動詞短語的一部分時（如被動語態），不應使用連字符。
×It's a completely built-up area with no empty spaces.
✓It's a built-up area with no empty spaces.
使用多餘的修飾語（如 completely, fully）。'built-up' 本身已隱含「密集開發、幾乎沒有空地」的意思，加上 completely 或 fully 顯得多餘，除非要特別強調與「部分開發」的對比。
