用法說明

butt in vs butt into

  • butt in 通常作為一個完整的動詞片語使用,表示「插嘴」或「強行介入」,後面不直接接賓語。
  • butt into 則是一個及物動詞片語,後面必須接介入的「事物」或「對話」作為賓語,表示「干涉(某事)」。
  • 兩者都帶有負面含義,指未經邀請或粗魯地打斷。 EN: Please don't butt in while we're having a serious discussion. 翻譯: 我們在進行嚴肅討論時,請不要插嘴。

EN:He has a bad habit of butting into other people's arguments.

常見錯誤

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

×He butted the door with his head.

He butted the door with his shoulder.

「butt」作為動詞,通常指用頭部(尤其是前額或角)或身體的鈍端去撞擊。雖然可以用頭去撞,但在描述人用頭撞門時,更常見的動詞是「headbutt」。用肩膀撞門是更自然的動作,因此例句改為用肩膀。

×Please don't butt in my conversation.

Please don't butt into my conversation.

片語動詞「butt in」意為「插嘴、打斷」,其後接談話、討論等對象時,必須使用介系詞「into」,形成「butt into something」。直接接賓語是錯誤的。

×The two ideas are butting.

The two ideas are in conflict. / The two ideas clash.

「butt」作為動詞,主要描述物理上的撞擊或頂撞(如動物),或用於「butt in/into」表示打斷。它不用來描述抽象概念(如想法、意見)之間的衝突。應使用「clash」、「conflict」、「contradict」等動詞。

×She butted the cigarette on the ashtray.

She stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray.

「butt」作為動詞,沒有「熄滅香菸」的意思。「butt」作為名詞可以指「菸蒂」。熄滅香菸的正確動詞是「stub out」或「put out」。

×The line butts the end of the street.

The line ends at the street. / The property line abuts the street.

「butt」在特定情境下(如測量、地產)可表示「鄰接、緊靠」,但用法較正式且少見,通常用「abut」。在一般口語中描述「結束於...」,應使用「end at」。原句使用「butt」不自然且容易誤解。

×I saw him butt someone in the party.

I saw him bump into someone at the party.

「butt」表示故意、用力地頂撞,通常帶有攻擊性。在派對上不小心撞到人,是無意的、輕微的碰撞,應使用「bump into」。使用「butt」會暗示有攻擊行為,造成語意錯誤。
