常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Clasp"?Which "Clasp" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×She clasped her hands to pray.
✓She clasped her hands in prayer.
使用 'clasped her hands to pray' 暗示用手去抓住祈禱這個動作，邏輯不通。正確的 'clasped her hands in prayer' 表示以祈禱的姿態或狀態緊握雙手。
×He clasped the rope hardly.
✓He clasped the rope tightly.
'Hardly' 意思是「幾乎不」，用在此處語意錯誤。描述緊握、抓牢的狀態應使用 'tightly'、'firmly' 或 'securely'。
×I clasped her hand and said goodbye.
✓I clasped her hand and said goodbye.
此句文法正確，但學習者常誤用 'clasp' 於所有握手情境。'Clasp' 強調緊握、握住一段時間，帶有情感（如安慰、懇求）。一般短暫握手應用 'shake hands' 或 'hold hands'（牽手）。
×The bracelet has a beautiful clasp.
✓The bracelet has a beautiful clasp.
此句文法正確，但學習者常混淆詞性。'Clasp' 在此為名詞（扣子、鉤扣）。作為動詞時，意思為「扣住；緊握」。需根據上下文判斷詞性，避免誤用。
×She clasped onto his arm for support.
✓She clasped his arm for support.
'Clasp' 是及物動詞，後面直接接受詞，不需加介系詞 'onto'。'Hold onto' 或 'cling to' 才需要 'onto'。
