用法說明

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

completely + adjective vs. completely + verb

  • completely + adjective 是最常見的用法,用來強調形容詞所描述的狀態達到極致或百分之百。
  • completely + verb 則用來強調動作或過程的徹底性,通常與過去分詞(如 destroyed, forgotten)或某些動詞原形連用。
  • 注意:completely 後面通常不直接接動名詞(completely doing)或不定詞(completely to do),這會使句子聽起來不自然。
  • 在正式寫作中,應避免將 completely 置於動詞與其受詞之間,以免造成語意不清。 EN: The room was completely silent after the announcement. 翻譯: 宣布之後,房間裡完全寂靜無聲。

EN:The old building was completely destroyed in the fire.

翻譯:那棟舊建築在大火中被徹底摧毀了。

常見錯誤

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

×I am completely about the new plan.

I am completely sure about the new plan.

「completely」是副詞,不能直接修飾介詞片語「about...」。它必須用來修飾形容詞(如 sure)、動詞或另一個副詞。

×The task was completely finished.

The task was finished. / The task was complete.

「finish」本身已表示動作完成,使用「completely」略顯冗餘。在正式寫作中應避免。若要強調,可使用「fully」或「entirely」。但「completely」常用於修飾形容詞,如「completely different」。

×He completely has changed his mind.

He has completely changed his mind.

「completely」作為副詞修飾動詞時,通常不放在助動詞(如 have, will, can)與主要動詞之間。應置於助動詞之後、主要動詞(或過去分詞)之前。

×I read the completely book.

I read the whole book. / I completely read the book.

「completely」是副詞,不能當形容詞用來修飾名詞(如 book)。表示「整個」名詞時,應使用形容詞「whole」或「entire」。若想表達「徹底讀完」,副詞「completely」應置於動詞前或後,但語意較不自然,通常用「finish reading」更佳。

×I am not completely with you.

I do not completely agree with you. / I am not in complete agreement with you.

中文「不完全同意」可能被直譯成錯誤的英文結構。「not completely」必須修飾一個明確的動詞或形容詞,不能單獨與介詞片語連用。

×I am completely happy with the result.

I am very happy with the result.

「completely」意指「百分之百、全然」,通常用於修飾表達絕對狀態的詞(如 different, wrong, destroyed)。「happy」是程度形容詞,使用「very」、「extremely」更自然。使用「completely happy」可能暗示之前是「完全不快樂」,語意較強。
