常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Crash"?Which "Crash" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×My computer was crashed.
✓My computer crashed.
「crash」作為描述事件發生的動詞時，通常用主動語態，因為電腦是自己當機的，不是被別人弄當機的。被動語態（was crashed）暗示有外部施動者，這在描述一般系統故障時不自然。
×I crashed my car to a tree.
✓I crashed my car into a tree.
描述撞上某物時，正確的介系詞是「into」，表示移動並撞入或撞上某物體的表面。使用「to」是錯誤的，因為「to」僅表示方向，不包含碰撞的接觸。
×I'm so tired, I need to crash down.
✓I'm so tired, I need to crash.
在口語中，「crash」單獨使用即可表示「倒下就睡」或「借宿過夜」。加上「down」是多餘的，雖然「crash」有時可與「out」連用（crash out），但「crash down」不是表達此意的自然片語。
×The stock market crashed down suddenly.
✓The stock market crashed suddenly.
描述市場或價格「暴跌、崩盤」時，「crash」作為不及物動詞已包含急遽下降的意思。加上「down」是冗詞，雖然語意上可理解，但不符合自然、簡潔的英語用法。
×She crashed the wedding party without invitation.
✓She crashed the wedding without an invitation.
「Crash」在表示「未經邀請擅自參加」時，是及物動詞，直接接受詞（如 the wedding, the party）。加上「party」雖可理解，但顯得多餘，因為「crash the wedding」已包含闖入婚禮活動的意思。此外，「invitation」作為可數名詞，此處應使用「an invitation」。
