常見錯誤

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

×Please arrange the events in a chronological.

"Chronological" 是形容詞,不能單獨作為名詞使用。必須與 "order"、"sequence" 等名詞搭配,或使用 "chronology" 作為名詞。

×He is suffering from chronological pain.

He is suffering from chronic pain.

"Chronological" 意為「按時間順序的」,而 "chronic" 意為「長期的、慢性的」。兩者發音和拼寫相似,但意思完全不同,不可混淆。

×The story is told chronological.

The story is told chronologically.

在動詞後修飾動作方式時,應使用副詞 "chronologically",而非形容詞 "chronological"。

×Please list the dates in chronological time order.

Please list the dates in chronological order.

"Chronological" 本身已包含「時間」的概念,因此 "chronological time order" 中的 "time" 是多餘的,屬於贅詞。

×He wrote a chronological book about history.

He wrote a book with a chronological account of history.

形容詞 "chronological" 應直接修飾其描述的名詞(如 account, narrative, order)。原句語意模糊,可能被誤解為「一本按時間順序的書」,而非「書中的敘述是按時間順序的」。
