常見錯誤

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

×I waited for her in the corridor of the hotel.

I waited for her in the lobby of the hotel.

在飯店或公共建築中,主要入口處寬敞的公共區域是「lobby」,不是「corridor」。「corridor」指的是連接房間的狹長通道或走廊。

×The train corridor was very crowded.

The train aisle was very crowded.

在火車、飛機或巴士內部,乘客行走的通道是「aisle」。「corridor」通常指建築物內連接房間的固定走廊,不用於交通工具內部的通道。

×We walked through the green corridor.

We walked along the tree-lined path.

「corridor」在英文中雖然有「生態廊道」的專業用法,但在日常描述中,指兩旁有樹木的小徑或步道時,用「path」、「trail」或「tree-lined path」更自然。直接說「green corridor」可能造成語意不清。

×He lives in the corridor.

He lives in the hallway. / His room is off the corridor.

「corridor」指的是通道本身,不是一個可以居住的房間。要表達「住在走廊旁的房間」或「房間位於走廊上」,需要用「live in a room off the corridor」或「live down the corridor」。在美式英語中,家用走廊常用「hallway」。

×Please don't run in the corridor.

Please don't run in the hallways.

雖然語法正確,但在學校等環境中,對學生發出的典型指令更常使用複數「hallways」或「the hall」。使用「corridor」聽起來較為正式或像是指特定的某一條走廊。
