用法說明
How is "Carelessly" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Carelessly"?
carelessly doing vs carelessly to do
- carelessly doing 強調的是描述一個正在進行或習慣性的粗心行為本身。
- carelessly to do 在文法上並不正確。正確的結構應為 carelessly + 動詞原形，用來修飾一個具體的動作。
- would carelessly to + V 也是錯誤的。正確表達意圖時應使用 would + carelessly + 動詞原形，或用其他結構如 would do something carelessly。
- 記住 carelessly 是副詞，直接修飾動詞，不影響動詞後方的不定詞 (to V) 或動名詞 (V-ing) 結構。 EN: He admitted carelessly leaving the door unlocked. 翻譯: 他承認自己粗心地沒鎖門。
EN:He tends to carelessly leave the door unlocked.
翻譯:他常常粗心地不鎖門。
總結建議
使用 carelessly + 動詞原形 來描述粗心的動作，避免使用 "carelessly to do" 或 "would carelessly to do" 這類錯誤結構。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Carelessly"?Which "Carelessly" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He drove careless.
✓He drove carelessly.
在修飾動詞 'drove' 時，必須使用副詞 'carelessly'，而非形容詞 'careless'。形容詞用於修飾名詞，副詞用於修飾動詞、形容詞或其他副詞。
×He carelessly left his keys.
✓He left his keys carelessly.
副詞 'carelessly' 的位置通常放在動詞之後或句末，以更自然地修飾動詞 'left'。將副詞置於動詞前有時會顯得不自然或強調方式不同。
×He is a carelessly driver.
✓He is a careless driver.
修飾名詞 'driver' 時，應使用形容詞 'careless'，而非副詞 'carelessly'。'Carelessly' 是副詞，不能直接放在名詞前作修飾。
×He handled the fragile item carelesslyly.
✓He handled the fragile item carelessly.
'Carelessly' 已經是副詞形式，無需再加 '-ly'。重複添加 '-ly' 是常見的拼字錯誤。
×He spoke carelessly, so he didn't mean to hurt her.
✓He spoke carelessly, so he accidentally hurt her.
'Carelessly' 意指『粗心地、隨意地』，常導致負面或意外的結果。原句邏輯矛盾，因為『無意傷害』是結果，應用 'accidentally' 等詞來表達，或直接說明粗心行為導致的後果。
×She carelessly designed the beautiful dress.
✓She carefully designed the beautiful dress.
'Carelessly'（粗心地）與語境中正面的『漂亮的』（beautiful）相矛盾。若要表達用心製作，應使用反義詞 'carefully'（細心地）。這是語意搭配錯誤。
