用法說明
How is "Credit" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Credit"?
credit someone with doing vs. credit something to someone
- credit someone with doing 強調某人被認為是某個行動或成就的源頭，焦點在「人」以及其「行為」。
- credit something to someone 強調將某個具體事物（如成功、發現、引語）的功勞「歸給」或「記在」某人名下，焦點在「事物」的歸屬。
- 兩者意思相近，常可互換，但介系詞 (
with/to) 決定了其後接的結構不同。 - 在正式或學術寫作中，
credit something to someone用於指明具體來源時可能更為常見。 EN: Historians credit him with discovering the mechanism. 翻譯: 歷史學家認為這個機制的發現是他的功勞。
EN:Historians credit the discovery of the mechanism to him.
翻譯:歷史學家將這個機制的發現歸功於他。
EN:She is credited with revolutionizing the industry.
翻譯:她被譽為革新了整個產業。
EN:The success of the project is credited to her leadership.
翻譯:這個專案的成功要歸功於她的領導。
總結建議
在表達「將功勞歸於某人」時，記住 credit someone **with** (doing) 和 credit something **to** someone 這兩個固定搭配，並根據你想強調的是「人的行為」還是「事物的歸屬」來選擇。
易混淆對比
What is the difference between "Credit" and similar words?How to choose "Credit" vs alternatives?
credit vs believe
「credit」強調將功勞或可信度歸於某人或某事，常用於正式或金融語境；「believe」則泛指相信某事的真實性或某人的話語，範圍更廣。
credit vs ascribe
兩者皆可表示「歸因於」，但「credit」通常指歸功於正面事物（如成功、功勞），「ascribe」則較中性，可歸因於正面或負面原因，且更書面化。
credit vs attribute
「credit」與「attribute」常可互換表示「歸因於」，但「credit」更強調功勞的歸屬，帶有讚賞意味；「attribute」則更側重於原因或來源的認定。
口語用法
How is "Credit" used in spoken English?What is the spoken vs formal difference for "Credit"?
引述
在口語中，常用來引述他人對某事的看法或歸功於某人，語氣較為隨意。 EN: I have to credit my coach for this win. 翻譯: 這場勝利我得歸功於我的教練。
EN:She credited the idea to a random conversation she overheard.
翻譯:她把這個點子歸功於她無意中聽到的一段對話。
語氣強調
用於強調某人的貢獻或某事的正面影響，常與「really」、「totally」等副詞連用，加強語氣。 EN: You can totally credit her for turning the project around. 翻譯: 專案能起死回生，真的完全要歸功於她。
EN:I really credit that book with changing my perspective.
翻譯:我真的要說，那本書改變了我的觀點。
停頓填充
在組織思緒或尋找合適詞語時，有時會用「credit where credit's due」這類固定短語作為填充，帶有口語的節奏感。 EN: It was a team effort, but, credit where credit's due, Mark did the heavy lifting. 翻譯: 這是團隊合作的成果，不過，該歸功的還是要歸功，馬克承擔了最繁重的工作。
EN:The party was a success... credit where credit's due, the decorations were amazing.
翻譯:派對很成功...該誇的還是要誇，那些裝飾真是太棒了。
正式寫作注意：在正式報告或學術寫作中，應避免上述過於口語化的引述和填充用法，改用更精確、結構完整的句子，例如「The success is largely attributable to...」或「Recognition should be given to...」。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Credit"?Which "Credit" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I credited him for his help.
✓I credited him with the idea.
使用 'credit someone with something' 表示將某個想法、成就歸功於某人。'Credit someone for something' 通常用於讚揚或感謝某人的努力或幫助，但較少用於歸功於具體的構想或發明。
×The money was credited in my account.
✓The money was credited to my account.
表示將款項存入帳戶時，正確的介系詞是 'to'，而非 'in'。'Credit something to an account' 是固定用法。
×I credited the book from the library.
✓I borrowed the book from the library.
'Credit' 作為動詞沒有『借出』或『借入』的意思。表示從圖書館借書應使用 'borrow'。'Credit' 主要意為『歸功於』、『存入（款項）』或『相信』。
×Do you credit his story?
✓Do you believe his story?
雖然 'credit' 有『相信』的意思，但在此語意下較為正式且不常用於日常口語疑問句。口語中詢問是否相信某事，通常使用 'believe'。'Credit' 用於此意時，常見於 'credit someone with something' 或否定句如 'I find that hard to credit.'。
×She credited to finish the report on time.
✓She was credited with finishing the report on time.
表達『因完成某事而受到讚揚/歸功』時，應使用被動語態 'be credited with doing something'。主動語態 'credit to do something' 是錯誤的結構。
×We must give him credits for his honesty.
✓We must give him credit for his honesty.
片語 'give someone credit for something' 中的 'credit' 為不可數名詞，意指『讚揚、認可』，不應使用複數形式 'credits'。'Credits' 通常指電影的演職員名單或大學的學分。
