常見錯誤

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

×The bird is chirping loudly.

The bird is chirping loudly.

雖然句子本身正確,但學習者常誤以為 'chirp' 只能用於鳥類。實際上,某些昆蟲(如蟋蟀)或電子設備(如某些警報器)發出的短促、尖銳聲音也可用 'chirp' 描述。

×The bird chirped me a song.

The bird chirped a song to me. / The bird sang a song for me.

'Chirp' 是描述聲音的動詞,通常不接間接受詞(如 'me')。若要表達對象,需使用介系詞 'to' 或 'for',或改用更通用的動詞如 'sing'。

×The birds are chirping on the tree.

The birds are chirping in the tree.

描述鳥在樹上鳴叫時,通常使用介系詞 'in',因為鳥是在樹的枝葉之中,而非直接坐在樹的表面('on' 通常用於物體表面)。

×The bird chirped and flew away.

The bird chirped and flew away.

句子本身正確,但學習者常忽略 'chirp' 的時態變化。其過去式與過去分詞為規則變化 'chirped',而非不規則變化。

×The machine makes a chirp sound.

The machine makes a chirping sound. / The machine chirps.

將 'chirp' 用作名詞修飾語時,通常使用其動名詞形式 'chirping' 來描述持續或反覆發出的聲音。單獨的 'chirp' 作名詞時,通常指單一次的鳴叫聲。
