常見錯誤

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

×I need to credential my account.

I need to verify my credentials for my account.

"credential" 作為動詞時,意思是「提供憑證」或「驗證資格」,通常用於被動語態或指機構對個人進行認證。不直接用於個人為自己的帳戶「取得憑證」,這種情況應使用名詞 "credentials" 或動詞 "verify credentials"。

×The university credentials.

The university credentials its graduates.

動詞 "credential" 是及物動詞,需要接受詞(通常是人或機構)。不能單獨使用而不指明認證的對象。

×I credentialed in first aid.

I am certified in first aid.

動詞 "credential" 通常由機構執行,對個人或方案進行認證。個人「擁有某項認證」應使用形容詞 "certified" 或被動語態 "have a credential",而非將 "credential" 用作個人取得的動作。

×He lost his credential to enter the building.

He lost his credentials to enter the building.

指「證明身份或資格的文件或資訊」時,幾乎總是使用複數形式 "credentials"。單數 "a credential" 通常指一項特定的資格或認證(如一個學位),而非用於進入某處的通行證件。

×The program was credentialing last year.

The program was credentialed last year.

表示「被認證」的狀態或結果時,應使用過去分詞 "credentialed" 構成被動語態。現在分詞 "credentialing" 強調正在進行的認證動作,較少用於描述已完成認證的狀態。
