用法說明
How is "Canceled" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Canceled"?
canceled doing vs canceled to do
- canceled doing 通常用於描述「取消了某個已經在進行中或已計劃好的具體活動或事件」。
- canceled to do 在標準英語中並不正確，應避免使用。若要表達「為了做某事而取消」，應使用其他結構，如 canceled plans in order to do 或 canceled something so that I could do。
- 在談論「取消某個習慣性或重複性的行為」時，可使用 canceled + 名詞 或 stopped + V-ing，而非 canceled doing。
- 在被動語態中，was canceled 後接 because 或 due to 來解釋原因，而非接不定詞 (to do)。 EN: She canceled going to the concert because of the storm. 翻譯: 因為暴風雨，她取消了去聽演唱會的計畫。
EN:He canceled his subscription to start saving money.
翻譯:他取消了訂閱，以便開始存錢。
EN:They canceled the meeting in order to review the new data.
翻譯:他們取消了會議，以便審查新數據。
EN:The flight was canceled due to technical issues.
翻譯:航班因技術問題被取消了。
總結建議
在表達「取消」時，應使用 canceled + 名詞 或 canceled + V-ing 來描述取消的具體事項，若要表達取消的目的，則使用 in order to 或 so that 等片語來連接。

引述

EN:They totally canceled the project at the last minute!

停頓填充

EN:We were going to do it, but then, you know, canceled.
翻譯:我們本來要做的，但後來，你知道的，取消了。
正式書寫注意：在正式書面語（如報告、公文、學術寫作）中，應避免使用上述口語化的引述或填充停頓結構。建議使用更完整、客觀的句式，例如「The event was subsequently canceled」或「It was decided to cancel the reservation」。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Canceled"?Which "Canceled" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×The flight was cancelled due to bad weather.
✓The flight was canceled due to bad weather.
在美式英語中，動詞 'cancel' 的過去式和過去分詞通常拼寫為 'canceled'（一個 l），而英式英語則使用 'cancelled'（兩個 l）。在美式英語環境或使用美式拼寫時，應使用 'canceled'。
×I cancel my appointment yesterday.
✓I canceled my appointment yesterday.
描述過去發生的事件時，應使用動詞的過去式 'canceled'，而非現在式 'cancel'。
×They canceled the event for bad weather.
✓They canceled the event because of bad weather.
表達取消的原因時，通常使用 'because of', 'due to', 或 'owing to'，而不是介系詞 'for'。'For' 在此語境下不自然。
×I need to cancel.
✓I need to cancel my reservation.
動詞 'cancel' 通常為及物動詞，需要一個受詞（如計畫、訂單、訂閱）來使語意完整。除非上下文已明確知道取消的對象，否則應加上受詞。
×My credit card got canceled by the bank.
✓My credit card was canceled by the bank.
在正式或標準的書面及口語中，被動語態通常使用 'be + 過去分詞'（was canceled）。'Get + 過去分詞'（got canceled）較為口語且非正式，有時可能暗示意外或負面結果，在正式寫作中應避免。
×I deleted my meeting from the calendar.
✓I canceled my meeting.
'Delete' 指從儲存媒介中永久移除數據（如檔案、文字）。'Cancel' 指使預定的事件、計畫或行動不再發生。取消會議應用 'cancel'，而非 'delete'。
