常見錯誤

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

×He is very conceited of his new car.

He is very conceited about his new car.

形容某人對某事物感到自負時,應使用介系詞 "about",而非 "of"。

×He is a conceited man who always helps others.

He is a conceited man who always brags about himself.

"conceited" 意指自負、自滿,帶有負面含義,與樂於助人的行為矛盾。正確用法應描述與自負相關的行為,例如吹噓。

×She is conceiting.

She is conceited.

"conceited" 是形容詞,描述一種狀態或特質。"conceiting" 並非標準英文單字。應使用形容詞形式。

×He has a conceited personality.

He is conceited.

雖然語法上並非完全錯誤,但 "conceited" 本身已描述人格特質,加上 "personality" 顯得多餘且不自然。直接使用 "He is conceited." 更為簡潔地道。

×I am conceited to finish the project early.

I am proud to have finished the project early.

"conceited" 專指過度自負、自滿,帶有強烈負面評價,不用於描述對自身成就合理的自豪感。合理的自豪應使用 "proud"。

×His conceited attitude made him many friends.

His conceited attitude cost him many friends.

自負的態度通常令人反感,會導致失去朋友,而非結交朋友。此錯誤違反了單字的負面涵義與常見因果關係。
