常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Cozy"?Which "Cozy" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I cozy the room.
✓I make the room cozy.
"Cozy" 作為動詞時通常需要與介系詞 "up" 連用，表示讓自己或某人舒適地安頓下來。若要表達「使房間變得舒適」，應使用 "make ... cozy" 的結構。
×We cozy with a book.
✓We cozy up with a book.
動詞 "cozy" 在表示「舒適地安頓下來做某事」時，是不及物動詞，必須與介系詞 "up" 搭配使用，形成片語動詞 "cozy up"。
×She cozied the baby in the crib.
✓She cozied the baby up in the crib.
當 "cozy" 作及物動詞使用，表示「使某人舒適地安頓」時，其正確句型為 "cozy someone up"，不能省略 "up"。
×They are cozying to the fire.
✓They are cozying up to the fire.
片語動詞 "cozy up to" 中的 "to" 是介系詞，用來引導接近的對象（如火爐、某人）。"cozy up" 本身不能直接接受詞，必須透過 "to" 來連接。
×We should cozy this weekend at home.
✓We should cozy up at home this weekend.
"Cozy" 作為動詞時，不直接接受地點或時間作為受詞。正確用法是使用片語 "cozy up"，後面可接地點副詞（如 at home）或表示活動的介系詞片語（如 with a movie）。
×He tried to cozy his boss for a promotion.
✓He tried to cozy up to his boss for a promotion.
動詞 "cozy" 單獨使用時，沒有「討好、巴結」的意思。這個含義來自片語動詞 "cozy up to someone"，意指透過親近或討好的方式拉近關係，以獲得好處。必須使用完整的片語。
