“If you hit your thumb with a hammer, these wires in your arm -- that, of course, we call nerves -- transmit the information into the junction box in the spinal cord, where new wires, new nerves, take the information up to the brain, where you become consciously aware that your thumb is now hurt.”

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Cord"?Which "Cord" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I need to cord the package.
✓I need to tie the package with a cord.
「cord」作為動詞時，意思是「用繩子捆綁」，但通常會搭配「with a cord」或「together」等詞語來明確表示使用繩子。單獨使用「cord」作動詞時，語意不夠完整，聽者可能不清楚是用什麼工具捆綁。
×She cords her hair every morning.
✓She ties her hair (with a cord/string) every morning.
雖然「cord」可以作動詞表示「用繩子捆綁」，但描述「綁頭髮」這個日常動作時，更自然的動詞是「tie」或「put up」。使用「cord」會聽起來過於技術性或奇怪，因為它暗示使用粗繩或特定類型的繩索，而非髮圈或橡皮筋。
×The electrician corded the new lamp.
✓The electrician wired the new lamp.
「cord」作名詞時可以指「電線」，但作動詞時「to cord」並不表示「安裝電線」或「接線」。正確的動詞是「to wire」。混淆名詞和動詞的用法是常見錯誤。
×Can you cord me that book?
✓Can you pass me that book? / Can you tie that with a cord?
「cord」作為動詞，意思僅限於「用繩子捆綁」，沒有「傳遞」的意思。這是一個因發音或拼寫相似而產生的錯誤（可能與「cord」和「cordially」或「hand」的聯想混淆）。必須根據想表達的意思選擇正確的動詞。
×The rope is cording.
✓The rope is made of cord. / He is cording the package.
「cord」作為動詞是及物動詞，必須有賓語。它不能像「The rope is tying.」這樣用作不及物動詞或描述狀態。這個錯誤是混淆了詞性及物性的用法。
