常見錯誤

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

×He is a chronicler of the war.

He is a chronicler of the war.

雖然句子本身正確,但學習者常誤以為 'chronicler' 是動詞,而錯誤地將其用作動詞,例如 'He chroniclers the war.'。'chronicler' 是名詞,指記錄事件的人,動詞形式是 'to chronicle'。

×He is a good chronicle.

He is a good chronicler.

混淆了名詞 'chronicle'(編年史,事件記錄)和 'chronicler'(編年史家,記錄者)。'Chronicle' 指事件本身或記錄的文本,而 'chronicler' 指進行記錄的人。

×She is a chronicler who writes chronicles.

She is a chronicler.

句子 'She is a chronicler who writes chronicles.' 在文法上正確,但語意重複('chronicler' 的定義就是撰寫編年史的人)。在自然英文中,通常只需使用其中一個詞即可,避免冗餘。

×He is a chronicler of science.

He is a chronicler of scientific developments.

'chronicler' 通常與具體的事件、歷史時期或發展過程連用,而不是與廣泛的學科領域(如 'science')直接連用。使用更具體的對象會使表達更自然、準確。

×I want to be a chronicler like my father, a journalist.

I want to be a chronicler like my father, a historian.

雖然記者(journalist)也記錄事件,但 'chronicler' 一詞帶有更強烈的歷史記錄、編年史的色彩,通常與歷史學家(historian)、史官或專注於長期、連續記錄的作家相關聯,而非側重即時新聞報道的記者。
