常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Chuck"?Which "Chuck" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I chucked the ball to him.
✓I threw the ball to him.
在正式或精準的語境中，'chuck' 過於口語且帶有隨意、不經意的意味。描述正式的投擲動作（如運動中）應使用 'throw'、'toss' 或 'pass'。
×He decided to chuck his job.
✓He decided to quit his job.
'Chuck (in)' 用於表示『放棄、辭掉（工作）』時是非常口語且非正式的英式英語用法。在正式場合或美式英語中，應使用 'quit'、'resign from' 或 'leave'。
×Chuck it into the box.
✓Put it in the box. / Place it in the box.
'Chuck' 表示『扔、丟』時，隱含隨意或用力投擲的動作。若只是要求對方將物品放入容器中，沒有投擲的意味，使用 'put'、'place' 或 'drop' 更為準確且禮貌。
×I need to chuck away these old magazines.
✓I need to throw away these old magazines.
'Chuck away/out' 是『丟掉』的口語說法，主要在英式英語中使用。在正式寫作或美式英語中，更常使用 'throw away'、'discard' 或 'get rid of'。
×She chucked a party last weekend.
✓She threw a party last weekend.
雖然 'chuck' 和 'throw' 在某些語境下可互換，但固定搭配『舉辦派對』的動詞是 'throw' 或 'have'。'Chuck a party' 並非標準用法，聽起來不自然。
×Chuck the water out of the bucket.
✓Pour the water out of the bucket. / Empty the bucket.
'Chuck' 主要用於丟棄固體物品或快速扔出。對於液體（如水），正確的動詞是 'pour'（倒出）、'dump'（傾倒）或 'empty'（清空）。
