常見錯誤

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

×I need a celery for the soup.

I need a stalk of celery for the soup.

在英文中,'celery' 是不可數名詞,不能直接與 'a' 或數字連用。表示單一根芹菜莖時,應使用計量單位 'stalk' 或 'stick'。

×I bought five celeries.

I bought five stalks of celery.

'Celery' 沒有複數形式 'celeries'。要表達複數概念,應使用計量單位(如 stalks, sticks, bunches)的複數形式。

×Celery is a vegetable that is good for health.

Celery is a vegetable that is good for your health.

雖然原句文法上並非完全錯誤,但在談論對健康的益處時,使用 'good for your health' 或 'good for health' 更為自然和常見。原句聽起來較不自然,像是直譯。

×celary

celery

常見的拼寫錯誤。正確拼寫是 'celery',字母順序為 c-e-l-e-r-y。

×I'll make a salad with coriander and celery.

I'll make a salad with cilantro and celery.

在美式英文中,'coriander' 通常指其種子(香菜籽),而葉子部分稱為 'cilantro'。在英式英文中,'coriander' 可同時指葉子和種子。學習者可能因地區用詞差異而混淆,導致在美式語境中使用錯誤。

×I eat the celery root every day.

I eat celeriac every day.

'Celery root' 或 'celery knob' 是芹菜根部的描述,但其專有名稱為 'celeriac'。它是一種與芹菜相關但不同的蔬菜,主要食用其膨大的根莖。
