用法說明
How is "Creator" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Creator"?
creator of vs created by
- creator of 強調的是「創造者」與其「作品或概念」之間的所屬或源頭關係。它指出誰是某個具體事物（如藝術品、產品、想法）的源頭或發起人。
- created by 則是一個被動語態的短語，重點在於「某物被誰創造」。它更常直接描述作品的來源，而非強調創造者的身份。
- 在許多情況下，兩者可以互換，但 creator of 更正式，且更聚焦於「人」作為主體；created by 則更聚焦於「物」的產生過程。 EN: She is the creator of this innovative design software. 翻譯: 她是這款創新設計軟體的創造者。
EN:This innovative design software was created by her.
翻譯:這款創新設計軟體是由她創造的。
EN:We studied the creator of the theory in philosophy class.
翻譯:我們在哲學課上研究了這個理論的創立者。
EN:The theory studied in philosophy class was created by him.
翻譯:哲學課上研究的這個理論是由他創立的。
總結建議
一般來說，當你想強調「人」作為創造主體時，使用 creator of；當你想以「作品」為句子主語並說明其來源時，使用 created by。
