常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Con"?Which "Con" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He tried to con me to give him money.
✓He tried to con me into giving him money.
動詞 'con' 後接人時，常用 'con someone into doing something' 的句型，表示欺騙某人去做某事。使用 'to give' 不符合慣用搭配。
×I was conned by his honest-looking face.
✓I was conned by his honest-looking face. / His honest-looking face conned me.
此句文法正確，但語意上可能造成混淆。'con' 強調的是蓄意欺騙的行為，而非單純的外表讓人『誤以為』。雖然可用，但學習者常誤用 'con' 來表示任何形式的『誤解』，而非蓄意欺騙。更精確的用法是點出欺騙的『行為』或『話術』。
×He is conning. / He cons people.
✓He is a con man. / He cons people.
'He is conning.' 作為獨立句子不完整，聽起來不自然，因為 'con' 是及物動詞，通常需要受詞（騙誰？）。描述一個人的職業或慣常行為時，更常用名詞 'con man'、'con artist' 或 'swindler'。'He cons people.' 文法正確，但較少單獨使用。
×I con that the offer was too good to be true.
✓I realized (or knew) that the offer was too good to be true.
這是混淆詞義的錯誤。'con' 是及物動詞，意思是『欺騙、詐騙』，主詞是行騙者。學習者可能誤以為它有『察覺被騙』或『懷疑』的意思。表達『意識到、知道』應用 'realize', 'know', 'suspect' 等動詞。
×They conned $5000 from the company.
✓They conned $5000 out of the company. / They swindled $5000 from the company.
動詞 'con' 在表示『騙取（金錢、物品）』時，常用句型是 'con something out of someone/something'。雖然 'swindle something from...' 也正確，但 'con something from...' 的搭配較不常見，聽起來不自然。
