用法說明

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

circumnavigate + 名詞 vs circumnavigate + 動名詞

  • circumnavigate + 名詞 是最常見且標準的用法,表示「環繞某個具體的地理目標航行或飛行」。
  • circumnavigate + 動名詞 在文法上可行,但語意上較不自然,因為「環繞」的對象通常是地點,而非一個動作本身。
  • 若要表達「為了某個目的而進行環球航行」,更自然的說法是使用不定詞片語或介系詞片語,例如 to circumnavigate (in order) to + Vcircumnavigate for + N。 EN: They plan to circumnavigate the globe by sailboat. 翻譯: 他們計劃駕駛帆船環繞世界。

EN:Their mission was to circumnavigate the globe to collect ocean data.

翻譯:他們的任務是環繞地球以收集海洋數據。

總結建議

建議始終使用「circumnavigate + 具體地點/目標」的結構,若要表達目的,則使用「circumnavigate... to + V」或「circumnavigate... for + N」。
