“suddenly the wind changes or competitor is stronger than you thought they'd be, and each Mark in the race is a milestone where you need to look up and evaluate what you're doing, how you're doing, and so when you campaign a sailboat, you need to be in the moment, you need to let go of yourself out, and yet you can't lose the ability to question your decisions.”

campaign vs fight
「campaign」指有策略、長期的計畫性行動；「fight」則強調對抗、鬥爭，可能更直接或激烈。

×They campaigned for reduce pollution.
✓They campaigned to reduce pollution.
動詞 'campaign' 後應接不定詞 'to + 動詞原形' 來表示活動的目的，而非介系詞 'for' 直接加動詞。
×She campaigns about environmental issues.
✓She campaigns on environmental issues. / She campaigns for environmental protection.
表示為某個議題或目標進行活動時，常用 'campaign on (a topic/issue)' 或 'campaign for (a cause/goal)'。使用 'about' 較不自然。
×He campaigned to become the president last year.
✓He campaigned for president last year.
競選某個職位時，使用 'campaign for + 職位 (不加冠詞)' 是固定用法，例如 'campaign for mayor/governor'。不需要使用 'to become'。
×They are campaigning to raise awareness of the disease.
✓They are campaigning to raise awareness about the disease.
雖然 'awareness of' 是常見搭配，但在 'raise awareness' 這個片語後，若要接具體的議題或事物，更常使用 'about' 或 'for'。'raise awareness about an issue' 是更自然的說法。
×We must campaign changing the law.
✓We must campaign to change the law.
'Campaign' 作為動詞時，其後不直接接動名詞 (V-ing) 作為目的。正確結構是 'campaign to + 動詞原形'，表示活動的目標。
×The company campaigned a new product.
✓The company launched a campaign for a new product. / The company promoted a new product.
在商業情境中，'campaign' 通常作為名詞使用（如 'advertising campaign'）。動詞 'campaign' 帶有為社會、政治或特定目標進行有組織抗爭或倡議的含義，不直接用於推廣一般商品。推廣產品應使用 'promote', 'launch', 或 'market'。
