常見錯誤

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

×I will crop the photo to make it a better crop.

I will crop the photo to make it a better size / composition.

在動詞 'crop' 後,不應重複使用名詞 'crop' 來指裁剪後的結果,這會造成語意重複且不自然。應使用更明確的名詞如 'size'、'format' 或 'composition' 來描述結果。

×The photo was cropped in the middle.

The photo was cropped at the edges. / The subject was cropped out of the photo.

'Crop' 意指剪去邊緣或外圍部分,而非從中間裁剪。若要表達從照片中移除主體,應使用 'crop something out'。描述裁剪位置時,通常指邊緣 (edges) 或特定區域。

×I need to croping this picture for my profile.

I need to crop this picture for my profile.

'Crop' 作為動詞,其現在分詞為 'cropping',但在此錯誤例句中,不定詞 'to' 後面應接原形動詞 'crop',而非分詞形式。這是動詞不定詞結構的常見錯誤。

×The farmers will crop the rice next week. (intending: harvest)

The farmers will harvest the rice crop next week.

在農業情境中,'crop' 主要作名詞指『農作物』。動詞 'crop' 不表示『收割』,收割應使用 'harvest'。動詞 'crop' 在農業中可指『種植』或『(動物)啃食草皮』,但非主要用法,容易造成誤解。

×This software allows you to crop easily.

This software allows you to crop images easily.

動詞 'crop' 是及物動詞,通常需要接賓語(如 photo, image, picture)。在非特定上下文下,省略賓語會使句子不完整。
