用法說明

How is "Chorus" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Chorus"?

chorus doing vs chorus to do

  • "chorus doing" 通常描述一個持續的、習慣性的或正在進行的合唱行為,強調活動本身。
  • "chorus to do" 則常指為特定目的或場合而進行的合唱,或描述一次性的合唱動作。
  • 在表達偏好或習慣時(如與 like, love, hate 連用),兩者常可互換,但 "chorus doing" 更側重一般性喜好。
  • would chorus to 的結構中,通常表示假設、禮貌請求或特定情境下的意願,此時多用 "to do" 形式。 EN: The audience loves to chorus the final line with the band. 翻譯: 觀眾喜歡和樂團一起合唱最後一句歌詞。

EN:The audience loves chorusing the final line with the band every night.
