常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Cheer"?Which "Cheer" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I cheered him to win the game.
✓I cheered for him to win the game.
當表示為某人加油、希望某人獲勝時，動詞 "cheer" 通常需要介系詞 "for" 來連接對象。"Cheer someone" 單獨使用時，意思更像是「使某人振作起來」或「向某人歡呼」，而不是「為某人加油打氣（希望他獲勝）」。
×She tried to cheer me when I was sad.
✓She tried to cheer me up when I was sad.
"Cheer up" 是一個常見的片語動詞，意思是「使振作起來」、「使高興起來」。單獨使用 "cheer" 雖然有時也可表示鼓勵，但在表達「讓低落的人心情變好」這個日常情境時，使用片語 "cheer up" 更為自然和準確。
×Let's cheer for his success!
✓Let's cheer him on to success! / Let's cheer for his success! (less common)
雖然 "cheer for his success" 文法上不完全錯誤，但聽起來不自然。更地道的說法是 "cheer him on to success" 或 "cheer for him to succeed"。"Cheer someone on" 強調在過程中持續給予鼓勵和支持，而 "cheer for" 的對象通常是「人」或「隊伍」，較少直接用於抽象的「成功」。
×The audience cheered loudly when the concert finished.
✓The audience cheered loudly at the end of the concert. / The audience applauded loudly when the concert finished.
這個錯誤在於語意不清。"Cheer" 通常是在表演精彩時（過程中或高潮時）發出的歡呼、喝采。音樂會「結束」時，觀眾更常見的反應是熱烈「鼓掌」(applaud)。如果要表達在音樂會「結束時」歡呼，用 "at the end of" 比 "when it finished" 更能準確表達那個時間點。
×I need someone to cheer my bad mood.
✓I need someone to cheer me up. / I need something to cheer me up.
"Cheer" 的直接受詞通常是「人」或「人群」，而不是抽象的情緒（如 mood, feeling）。正確的用法是 "cheer someone up"（讓某人心情變好），或者用事物當主詞，如 "Something cheered me up."。不能說 "cheer a mood"。
