常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Crush"?Which "Crush" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I crushed the glass.
✓I broke the glass.
「crush」通常指壓碎、碾碎（如壓扁罐子、碾碎冰塊），而不是打破玻璃這種脆性斷裂。打破玻璃、盤子等常用「break」。
×I have a crush to my classmate.
✓I have a crush on my classmate.
表達「迷戀某人」的固定片語是「have a crush on someone」，介系詞必須用「on」，不能用「to」或「for」。
×The news crushed down his hopes.
✓The news crushed his hopes.
「crush」作為及物動詞，本身已包含「徹底摧毀、粉碎」的意思，後面直接接受詞，不需要再加「down」。加「down」會顯得多餘且不自然。
×I was crushing by the crowd.
✓I was crushed by the crowd.
表達「被擠壓」時，應使用被動語態「be crushed」。使用「crushing」是現在分詞或動名詞，在此語境下不正確，會造成語意混淆。
×Add some crushed garlics.
✓Add some crushed garlic.
「garlic」（大蒜）通常作為不可數名詞使用，指大蒜這種物質或食材，沒有複數形「garlics」。要表示數量時，可用「cloves of garlic」（蒜瓣）。
×Don't crush! There's a line.
✓Don't cut in line! / Don't push!
「crush」作動詞時，主要意思是「壓碎」或「（情感上）擊垮」，不用來直接指「插隊」或「推擠」的行為。表達「插隊」應用「cut in line」，「推擠」可用「push」。
