常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Cackle"?Which "Cackle" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×The children cackled happily.
✓The children laughed/giggled happily.
「cackle」通常帶有刺耳、尖銳或邪惡的意味，常用於描述女巫、反派或帶有惡意的笑聲。描述兒童天真快樂的笑聲時，使用 laugh 或 giggle 更為自然恰當。
×He cackled a joke.
✓He told a joke and cackled. / He let out a cackle after telling the joke.
「cackle」是不及物動詞，後面不能直接接笑話、故事等受詞。它描述的是發出笑聲這個動作本身，而非「笑著說出某內容」。
×We cackled with tears.
✓We laughed until we cried. / We were in stitches.
「cackle」極少與「with tears」連用，因為它強調的是聲音特質（尖銳、刺耳），而非笑到流淚的情感程度。表達「笑到流淚」應使用更常見的片語如 "laugh until one cries"。
×A polite cackle
✓A polite laugh / chuckle
「cackle」本身帶有粗魯、不文雅、甚至令人不快的含義，與「polite」（有禮貌的）在語義上互相矛盾。描述有教養或克制的笑聲應使用 laugh、chuckle 或 giggle。
×She cackled like a bird.
✓She cackled like a witch/hyena. / She chirped/chattered like a bird.
雖然有些鳥叫聲可能被描述為 "cackle"（如某些禽類），但這不是最典型或最常見的比喻。"cackle" 最常與女巫、邪惡角色、鬣狗或發出尖銳難聽笑聲的人聯想在一起。
