常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Cracked"?Which "Cracked" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×The glass was cracked by someone.
✓The glass cracked.
在描述物體自然破裂或損壞時，'crack' 通常用作不及物動詞，不需要被動語態或 'by someone'。使用被動語態會顯得不自然且冗餘。
×I cracked the code yesterday night.
✓I cracked the code last night.
在英語中，'yesterday night' 不是標準說法。正確的表達是 'last night'。
×His voice cracked because of nervous.
✓His voice cracked because of nervousness. / His voice cracked because he was nervous.
'because of' 後面必須接名詞或名詞片語（如 nervousness），不能接形容詞（nervous）。或者可以改用 'because' 引導一個子句。
×The detective cracked down the case.
✓The detective cracked the case.
'crack down on' 是指『嚴厲取締、打擊』（如犯罪活動），而 'crack a case' 是固定片語，意為『破案』。兩者意思不同，不可混淆。
×The egg is cracked. Let's fry it.
✓The egg has a crack in it. / The egg is cracked. We can't use it for this recipe.
說 'The egg is cracked' 通常意味著蛋殼有裂縫，可能已經變質或不適合某些用途（如做水煮蛋）。如果只是蛋殼有裂縫但仍打算使用（例如打蛋來煎），更自然的說法是 'The egg has a crack (in it)'，並接著說明打算如何使用。原錯誤句語意矛盾。
×After working for 10 hours, he cracked and went to sleep.
✓After working for 10 hours, he was exhausted and went to sleep. / After hours of interrogation, he finally cracked and confessed.
'crack' 作為動詞表示『（精神）崩潰、垮掉』或『招供』時，通常是在極大的壓力、疲勞或審訊下，導致情緒失控或放棄抵抗。僅因長時間工作後去睡覺，用 'cracked' 語氣過重，不夠準確。應使用更貼切的詞如 'was exhausted'。
