conception of vs conception about

  • conception of 通常指對某個具體事物、概念或人的「理解、看法、觀念」,強調的是對該對象本質的認知。
  • conception about 則較為少用,且語意較模糊,可能泛指對某個主題或領域的「想法、見解」,但不如 conception of 來得精確和常見。
  • 在學術或正式寫作中,表達「對…的觀念」時,conception of 是標準且首選的搭配。
  • conception 意指「構思、設想」時,也常與 of 連用,表示對某個計畫或作品的初步想法。 EN: His conception of justice is deeply influenced by classical philosophy. 翻譯: 他對正義的觀念深受古典哲學影響。

常見錯誤

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

×I have a conception about the new project.

I have a concept/idea about the new project.

「conception」通常指較抽象、根本性的「概念形成」或「觀念」,不適合用於日常具體的「想法」或「點子」。在談論具體計畫或點子時,應使用「concept」或「idea」。

×The conception of the baby was in March.

The baby was conceived in March.

「conception」作為「受孕」解時是名詞,指「受孕」這個事件或狀態,而非時間點。要表達「在何時受孕」,應使用動詞「conceive」的被動語態或「conception occurred in...」。直接說「conception was in...」聽起來不自然。

×His conception to start a business is very creative.

His concept/idea for starting a business is very creative.

「conception」後面不接「to + 動詞」來表示「做某事的構想」。應使用「concept/idea for + 動名詞」或「concept/idea of + 動名詞」的結構。

×This is my personal conception.

This is my personal understanding/view/idea.

「conception」雖然可指「個人理解或觀念」,但在日常對話中,用「personal conception」顯得過於正式且學術。更自然的說法是「personal understanding」、「personal view」或「personal idea」。

×The company's conception was in 1995.

The company was founded/established in 1995.

「conception」可以比喻事物的「起源」或「構思階段」,但對於公司、組織等實體的「成立」,標準用詞是「founded」或「established」。使用「conception」在這裡雖然可被理解,但不夠精準或常見。
