Amos Winter: The cheap all-terrain wheelchair
TED
“Now, when you're talking about trying to travel long distances on rough terrain, I immediately thought of a mountain bike, and a mountain bike's good at doing this because it has a gear train and you can shift to a low gear if you have to climb a hill or go through mud or sand, and you get a lot of torque but a low speed.”

用法說明
How is "Climb" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Climb"?
climb + 地方 vs climb up/down + 地方
- climb + 地方 通常指「攀爬」某個物體或地形本身，強調的是攀爬的動作和過程。
- climb up + 地方 強調「向上爬」的動作，有從低處到高處的方向性。
- climb down + 地方 則明確指「向下爬」，從高處移動到低處。
- 在許多情況下，單獨使用 climb 已隱含「向上」的意思，但加上 up 或 down 能讓方向更清晰。 EN: The kids love to climb the big oak tree in the garden. 翻譯: 孩子們喜歡爬花園裡那棵大橡樹。
EN:It took us an hour to climb up the steep hill.
翻譯:我們花了一個小時才爬上那座陡峭的山丘。

翻譯:她看著貓小心翼翼地爬下梯子。
EN:It's easier to climb the mountain than to climb down.
翻譯:爬上山比爬下山容易。
總結建議
一般描述「攀爬」時用 climb + 地方 即可，若需特別強調「向上」或「向下」的方向，則加上 up 或 down。
易混淆對比

climb vs ascend
「climb」通常指需要手腳並用或費力地向上移動，常用於具體的物理動作，如爬山、爬樹。而「ascend」則較為正式，強調平穩、莊重地上升，可用於物理或抽象概念，如地位提升、溫度上升。
climb vs scale
「climb」是泛指向上攀爬的通用詞。「scale」則特指克服陡峭、困難或垂直的障礙物（如牆壁、懸崖），挑戰性更高，語意更強烈。
climb vs mount
「climb」強調攀爬的動作過程。「mount」則側重「登上」頂點或特定物體的結果，常用於騎上（馬、腳踏車）或安裝、設置某物。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Climb"?Which "Climb" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I climbed on the mountain.
✓I climbed the mountain.
使用 'climb' 時，通常直接接目的地（如 mountain, tree, hill），不需要加 'on'。'Climb on' 通常用於表示爬到某物表面（如 climb on the table），或用於攀爬活動（如 climb on the rocks）。
×The temperature is climbing up quickly.
✓The temperature is climbing quickly.
當 'climb' 用於比喻數字、溫度、價格等上升時，通常不加 'up'，因為 'climb' 本身已包含上升的意思。加 'up' 會顯得多餘。
×We need to climb down the ladder carefully.
✓We need to climb down the ladder carefully. (可接受) / We need to descend the ladder carefully. (更正式)
'Climb down' 在口語中是可接受的，但有些純粹主義者認為 'climb' 意指向上移動，因此 'climb down' 在邏輯上矛盾。在正式寫作中，使用 'descend' 或 'go down' 可能更好。然而，在日常對話中 'climb down' 很常見。
×He climbed to the top of his career.
✓He climbed to the top of his career. (可接受) / He rose to the top of his career. (更常見)
雖然 'climb' 可以用於比喻職業生涯的晉升，但更常見且自然的比喻動詞是 'rise'。'Climb' 在這裡雖然可以理解，但聽起來可能有點字面化或不太流暢。
×I am climbing the bus.
✓I am getting on the bus.
'Climb' 暗示需要用手腳努力攀爬（如爬樹、爬山）。對於上下公車、火車、汽車等一般交通工具，標準用語是 'get on/off' 或 'board'。除非是特別高的車輛或需要實際攀爬動作，否則不用 'climb'。
×The number of users climbed from 100 to 200.
✓The number of users increased from 100 to 200.
雖然 'climb' 可以用於數字增長，但它通常暗示一個相對緩慢、穩定或艱難的過程。對於簡單的數字變化或快速增長，使用 'increase', 'rise', 或 'grow' 更為準確和常見。'Climb' 在這裡帶有輕微的文學色彩。
