用法說明

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

compute + 名詞 vs compute + that 子句

  • compute + 名詞:表示「計算」某個具體的數值、結果或數據。
  • compute + that 子句:表示「計算出」或「推斷出」某個結論或事實,強調計算後得出的認知。
  • 在正式或技術語境中,兩者皆常用,但 compute that 更側重於揭示計算後獲得的資訊。 EN: The system will compute the total cost in real-time. 翻譯: 系統會即時計算總成本。

EN:After analyzing the data, we computed that the error rate was below 0.5%.

翻譯:分析數據後,我們計算出錯誤率低於 0.5%。

總結建議

在表達計算具體數值時使用「compute + 名詞」,而在說明經計算得出的結論時則使用「compute + that 子句」。

易混淆對比

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

compute vs calculate

「compute」通常指透過電腦或複雜系統進行運算,而「calculate」則更廣泛地指用手算、心算或任何工具進行計算。

compute vs estimate

「compute」指得出精確的計算結果,而「estimate」則是基於可用資訊做出近似或推測性的計算。

compute vs process

「compute」專注於數學或邏輯運算以產生結果,而「process」涵蓋更廣泛的數據處理步驟,可能包括計算在內。

引述

在對話中,當引述或轉述一個計算任務或要求時,常用「compute」。 EN: So the system will compute the total, and then we can proceed. 翻譯: 所以系統會計算出總額,然後我們就可以繼續了。

EN:He asked me to compute the ROI before the meeting.

翻譯:他請我在開會前計算出投資回報率。

語氣強調

在口語中,有時會用「compute」來強調過程是「由機器或系統執行」的計算,以區別於心算或估算。 EN: Don't worry about the math, just let the program compute it. 翻譯: 不用擔心數學問題,就讓程式去計算吧。

EN:This isn't a guess; these numbers were computed by our algorithm.

翻譯:這不是猜的,這些數字是我們的演算法計算出來的。

停頓填充

在思考或組織語句時,可能會用「compute」或相關短語作為填充詞,表示正在「運算中」或「處理資訊」。 EN: Give me a second to compute... okay, I think the answer is 150. 翻譯: 給我一點時間計算一下... 好,我想答案是150。

EN:My brain is still computing all the data from that presentation.

翻譯:我的大腦還在處理剛才簡報中的所有數據。

正式寫作注意:在正式的學術或技術文件中,「compute」是標準用詞。但在非常正式或文學性的寫作中,可能會優先選用更通用的「calculate」或「determine」。口語中略帶科技感的語氣在正式寫作中可能需要調整。

常見錯誤

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

×I computed the answer in my mind.

I calculated the answer in my mind.

「compute」通常指由機器(如電腦)或透過正式、系統化的數學過程進行計算,不常用於描述心算。描述心算時,使用「calculate」或「work out」更自然。

×Can you compute what time we should leave?

Can you figure out what time we should leave?

「compute」不用於估算或推斷非精確數值或一般情況。對於需要判斷、推測或解決的問題,應使用「figure out」、「estimate」或「work out」。

×He is computing for the company.

He does computing for the company. / He is a computer scientist for the company.

「compute」作為動詞時,是及物或不及物動詞,後面不接「for」來表示職業或工作內容。應使用「do computing」或更具體的職稱。名詞「computing」可指電腦運算工作。

×I will compute it later.

I will calculate it later. / I will run the computation later.

在日常對話中,使用「compute」聽起來過於技術性或正式。在大多數日常情境中,使用「calculate」、「work out」或「do the math」更為自然。

×The compute result is 150.

The computed result is 150. / The computation result is 150.

「compute」是動詞,不能直接當形容詞修飾名詞。應使用其過去分詞「computed」(被計算出的)或名詞「computation」(計算)來修飾。
