常見錯誤

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

×I need to buy a cigarette.

I need to buy a cigarette. / I need to buy some cigarettes.

雖然 'cigarette' 是可數名詞,但單獨購買一支香菸的情況較少見,通常會說 'a pack of cigarettes' 或使用複數形式 'cigarettes'。若真的只買一支,用 'a cigarette' 文法正確但語用上不自然。

×He is smoking cigarette.

He is smoking a cigarette.

'Cigarette' 是可數名詞,在泛指一支香菸時,前面必須加冠詞 'a' 或使用複數形式。

×cigaret

cigarette

正確拼法是 'cigarette',結尾是 '-ette',不是 '-et'。這是常見的拼寫錯誤。

×one cigarettes

one cigarette

數詞 'one' 後面必須接單數名詞。'Cigarettes' 是複數形式,不能與 'one' 連用。

×eat a cigarette

smoke a cigarette

與香菸搭配的動詞是 'smoke'(抽、吸),不是 'eat'(吃)。這是動詞與名詞搭配錯誤。

×cigarette's smell

the smell of cigarettes / cigarette smell

表示「香菸的氣味」時,通常使用 'the smell of cigarettes' 或複合名詞 'cigarette smell'。使用所有格 'cigarette's' 不自然,除非特指某一支菸的氣味。
