常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Chill"?Which "Chill" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I need a chill.
✓I need to chill. / I need a chill pill.
作為動詞時，'chill' 意思是放鬆或冷卻，不能直接當作名詞使用來表示「放鬆的狀態」。若想用名詞表達類似概念，需使用其他詞彙如 'a chill pill'（俚語）或 'relaxation'。
×I chilled the beer in the fridge for an hour, and now I will chill on the sofa.
✓I chilled the beer in the fridge for an hour, and now I will chill out on the sofa.
及物動詞 'chill' 意為「使冷卻」。不及物動詞 'chill' 單獨使用時，在口語中雖可表示「放鬆」，但更常見且明確的形式是 'chill out'。在正式或書面語中，區分兩者用法能避免混淆。
×Yesterday I chilled the soup and then I chiled on the balcony.
✓Yesterday I chilled the soup and then I chilled on the balcony.
'chill' 作為規則動詞，過去式及過去分詞為 'chilled'，不是 'chiled'。拼寫錯誤會導致理解困難。
×Can you chill? The food is hot.
✓Can you chill the food? It's hot.
當想表達「使某物變冷」時，'chill' 是及物動詞，必須接賓語。句子若缺少賓語，意思會變成「你能冷靜/放鬆嗎？」，造成語意混淆。
×The laboratory protocol requires to chill the samples.
✓The laboratory protocol requires chilling the samples. / The laboratory protocol requires that the samples be chilled.
在正式或學術寫作中，動詞 'chill' 略顯口語化。表達「冷卻」時，使用 'cool', 'refrigerate', 或 'chill' 的動名詞/被動形式更為恰當。口語的「放鬆」義則應避免在正式文中使用。
