用法說明

combustion 與 combusting 的用法

  • combustion (n.) 是名詞,指「燃燒」這個過程、現象或化學反應本身。
  • combusting (v. gerund) 是動名詞,來自動詞 combust,強調「正在燃燒」的動作或狀態。
  • 在技術或科學描述中,combustion 更常用來指稱整個反應系統或原理。
  • 在描述具體、持續的燃燒動作時,可使用 combusting,但較為少見,通常直接用動詞 combust 或片語 undergoing combustion。 EN: The internal combustion engine revolutionized transportation. 翻譯: 內燃機徹底改變了交通運輸。

EN:The rapidly combusting material produced intense heat.

翻譯:快速燃燒的材料產生了高溫。

EN:Spontaneous combustion is a dangerous phenomenon.

翻譯:自燃是一種危險的現象。

EN:The engineers observed the fuel combusting in the test chamber.

翻譯:工程師們觀察了燃料在測試艙內的燃燒情況。

總結建議

在大多數情況下,使用名詞 combustion 來描述燃燒過程或類型;僅在特別需要強調持續進行的燃燒動作時,才考慮使用 combusting

易混淆對比

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

combustion vs burning

「combustion」是科學或技術用語,指物質與氧氣劇烈反應產生光和熱的化學過程;「burning」是通用詞,可指燃燒過程、感覺灼熱或強烈的情感。

combustion vs oxidation

「combustion」是劇烈、快速並常伴隨火焰的氧化反應;「oxidation」是更廣泛的化學概念,指物質失去電子或與氧結合,過程可能緩慢且無火焰。

combustion vs incineration

「combustion」泛指燃燒的化學過程;「incineration」特指以高溫燃燒方式銷毀廢物(尤其是垃圾或有機廢料)的技術或行為。

EN:We need to avoid any kind of... combustion, I mean, any reaction that could overheat the system.

翻譯:我們需要避免任何形式的... 燃燒,我是說,任何可能導致系統過熱的反應。

注意:在正式或學術寫作中(如科學報告、論文),應精確使用「combustion」指涉化學燃燒過程,避免上述口語中的比喻或填充用法,以維持專業性。

常見錯誤

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

×The combustion of the engine is not efficient.

The combustion in the engine is not efficient.

使用 'of' 暗示引擎本身在燃燒,但通常是指引擎內部的燃燒過程。應使用 'in' 來表示發生在引擎內部的燃燒。

×The car stopped because there was a combustion problem.

The car stopped because there was a combustion-related problem. / The car stopped because of a combustion problem.

雖然 'combustion problem' 在口語中可能被理解,但在正式或技術寫作中,'combustion problem' 聽起來不自然。更精確的說法是 'a problem with combustion' 或 'a combustion-related problem'。

×We studied about combustion in science class.

We studied combustion in science class.

動詞 'study' 是及物動詞,後面直接接受詞,不需要介系詞 'about'。這是常見的學習者錯誤。

×The combustion's temperature is very high.

The temperature of combustion is very high. / The combustion temperature is very high.

雖然所有格 ('s) 可用於無生命名詞,但在技術術語中,'combustion' 作為名詞修飾另一個名詞(如 combustion temperature)或使用 'of' 結構更為常見和自然。

×Spontaneous combustion are rare.

Spontaneous combustion is rare.

'Combustion' 是不可數名詞,即使前面有形容詞(如 spontaneous),動詞仍應使用單數形式。

×He is doing an experiment on combustions.

He is doing an experiment on combustion.

'Combustion' 作為「燃燒」這個過程或現象時,是不可數名詞,沒有複數形。只有在極少數特定語境下(如指多種類型的燃燒)才可能用複數,但對學習者而言,應先掌握其不可數的用法。
