易混淆對比

What is the difference between "Collaborate" and similar words?How to choose "Collaborate" vs alternatives?

「collaborate」強調為共同目標緊密合作,通常涉及創造性、專業性或正式專案;「cooperate」則泛指為達成目的而配合、協助,範圍較廣,可能僅是單方面的順從或提供方便。

collaborate vs participate

「collaborate」強調積極、主動地與他人「共同創作」或「合力完成」;「participate」僅表示「參加」或「參與」某項活動,不強調與他人的互動深度或共同創造的過程。

口語用法

引述

在轉述他人意見或邀請時,常用來緩和語氣,表示這不是自己單方面的要求。 EN: So, what John suggested was that we collaborate on the next phase. 翻譯: 所以,約翰的建議是我們在下一個階段合作。

EN:I’m just putting it out there—maybe we could collaborate on this?

翻譯:我只是提個想法——或許我們可以一起合作這個?

語氣強調

在口語中,會透過重音或拉長音節來強調合作的意願或必要性,常與「真的」、「確實」等副詞連用。 EN: We really need to collaborate if we want this to work. 翻譯: 我們如果真的想成功,就必須好好合作。

EN:I’m telling you, the key is to collaborate, not compete.

翻譯:跟你說,關鍵在於合作,不是競爭。

停頓填充

在思考如何委婉提出合作請求時,會用作句子中間的填充詞,讓提議聽起來不那麼直接。 EN: What if we, you know, collaborate with the marketing team? 翻譯: 如果我們,那個,跟行銷團隊合作呢?

EN:I was thinking… maybe we could… collaborate on something smaller first.

翻譯:我在想…或許我們可以先…合作一個小一點的專案。

正式寫作注意:在正式報告或學術論文中,應避免使用上述口語填充詞(如「you know」、「I was thinking…」),並直接使用「collaborate」的標準句型,例如「The departments will collaborate to achieve the objective.」。

常見錯誤

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

×We collaborated the project.

We collaborated on the project.

「collaborate」是不及物動詞,後面不能直接接受詞。表示「在某事上合作」時,必須使用介系詞「on」或「in」。

×I collaborated with him to finish the report.

I collaborated with him on finishing the report.

「collaborate with someone」後接合作事項時,通常使用「on + 名詞/動名詞」或「to + 動詞原形」結構較不自然。最常見的用法是「collaborate with someone on something」。

×They collaborated each other.

They collaborated with each other.

「collaborate」表示「與某人合作」時,必須使用介系詞「with」,不能省略。

×We should collaboration to solve this problem.

We should collaborate to solve this problem.

混淆了名詞「collaboration」和動詞「collaborate」。在情態動詞「should」後面必須使用動詞原形「collaborate」。

×The company collaborated with the enemy during the war.

The company collaborated with the enemy during the war.

此句文法正確,但需注意語意。「collaborate」在歷史或政治语境中可能帶有負面含義,指「與敵人勾結、通敵」。在一般商業或學術合作中則為中性或正面詞彙。學習者需根據上下文判斷其褒貶義。

×Let's collaborate this idea.

Let's collaborate on this idea. / Let's work on this idea together.

「collaborate」後不能直接接合作的具体「事物」(如想法、計畫)。必須使用「collaborate on + 事物」。或者,可以使用更口語化的「work on something together」。
