常見錯誤

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

×I need a canister for my coffee.

I need a canister for my coffee beans / ground coffee.

「canister」通常指存放乾燥物品(如茶葉、咖啡豆、麵粉)的密封容器,而不是用來盛裝液體咖啡的杯子或壺。若要盛裝液體咖啡,應使用「thermos」、「flask」或「pot」。

×He opened the canister of soup.

He opened the can of soup.

「canister」通常指圓柱形、帶有密封蓋的容器(常用於廚房存放乾貨),或用於特定設備(如瓦斯罐、膠捲盒)。一般市售的罐頭食品(湯、豆子、魚)應使用「can」(美式)或「tin」(英式)。「canister」不用於指這類食品罐頭。

×The film canister is made of plastic.

The film canister is made of plastic. (Correct, but note usage)

此句文法正確,但需注意「film canister」是特定歷史產物(傳統膠捲的塑膠圓筒容器)。在數位時代,此物品已不常見,學習者可能誤用「canister」來指現代通用的「儲存容器」。若泛指存放物品的容器,使用「container」或「jar」更為通用。

×The gas canister is used for camping.

The gas canister / cylinder is used for camping.

「gas canister」是正確用法,特指小型、可攜式的壓縮瓦斯罐(如登山爐用)。但需注意,大型的瓦斯桶(如家用桶裝瓦斯)更常被稱為「gas cylinder」或「propane tank」。「canister」通常指體積較小、可手持的罐體。

×I put the cookies in a canister.

I put the cookies in a cookie jar / tin.

雖然「canister」可用於存放餅乾,但更自然、常見的說法是「cookie jar」(通常為廣口瓶)或「cookie tin」(金屬罐)。「canister」聽起來較為正式或功能導向,常用於描述具有密封功能、存放食材的容器。
