  • changeable + doing 通常描述一個固有的、本質上就易變的狀態或性質,強調其內在屬性。
  • changeable + to do 則更常表示有潛力或可能性變得易變,或是在特定條件下會變得易變,帶有「可以變得」的意味。

常見錯誤

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

×The weather is very changeable today.

The weather is changeable today.

「changeable」本身已包含「易變」的含義,加上「very」會顯得多餘且不自然。在正式或自然的英語中,通常單獨使用「changeable」來描述狀態。

×This is a changeable plan.

This plan is subject to change.

雖然「changeable」字面上可以修飾「plan」,但在描述計劃可能變動時,更地道自然的說法是「subject to change」或「flexible」。直接使用「changeable」聽起來不自然且較少用。

×She has a changeable personality.

She has a changeable personality. / She is moody.

這個句子文法正確,但語意上可能引起誤解。「changeable personality」聽起來像是人格特質會劇烈或根本性地改變,這在心理學上不常見。若想描述情緒多變,更常用「moody」或「her mood changes often」。使用時需注意上下文。

×I changed my changeable mind.

I changed my mind.

「changeable mind」是冗餘的表達。既然「mind」(想法)可以被「changed」(改變),就暗示了它是「changeable」(可變的)。直接說「changed my mind」即可。

×The data is changeable.

The data is variable. / The data can be updated.

描述數據時,「changeable」通常不是最佳選擇。若指數據本身數值會波動,應用「variable」。若指數據內容可以被修改或更新,應說「can be updated」或「editable」。使用「changeable」可能讓人誤解為數據不可靠。
