How is "Crystallize" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Crystallize"?
crystallize into sth vs. crystallize as sth
- crystallize into + 名詞 通常強調一個過程，描述想法、計畫或情感從模糊狀態逐漸「成形」或「具體化」為一個明確的結果、形式或實體。
- crystallize as + 名詞 則更常強調一個最終的狀態或身份，描述某事物被明確地「界定為」或「確認為」某種特定的概念、角色或類型。
- 兩者在許多情況下可以互換，但細微差別在於
into側重轉變的動態，而as側重最終的定性。 EN: After months of discussion, our vague ideas finally crystallized into a solid business plan. 翻譯: 經過數月的討論，我們模糊的想法終於具體化為一份扎實的商業計畫。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Crystallize"?Which "Crystallize" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×The crystallize on the window was beautiful.
✓The crystal on the window was beautiful.
「crystallize」是動詞，意思是「結晶」或「具體化」。學生常誤將其當成名詞「crystal」（水晶、結晶體）使用。要指實體時，應使用名詞「crystal」或「crystals」。
×The plan crystallized him a clear vision.
✓The plan crystallized into a clear vision for him. / The meeting helped crystallize his thoughts.
「crystallize」作「具體化、成形」解時，通常作不及物動詞，與「into」連用。作及物動詞時，意為「使…具體化」，後接想法、計畫等抽象名詞作受詞，而非人。錯誤句混淆了用法。
×The solution will crystalize when cooled.
✓The solution will crystallize when cooled.
「crystallize」的正確拼寫有兩個「l」。學生常受名詞「crystal」影響，漏掉一個「l」，拼成「crystalize」，這是常見的拼字錯誤。
×His thoughts have been crystallizing since yesterday.
✓His thoughts have been crystallizing since yesterday. (Context-dependent: This can be correct if emphasizing an ongoing process. Often, the simple past or present perfect is more natural for a completed conceptualization.) / His thoughts crystallized after the conversation.
雖然進行式在文法上可能正確，但用於「想法具體化」時，常暗示一個瞬間的領悟或完成的動作，因此過去式「crystallized」或現在完成式「have crystallized」更為常見自然。使用進行式時，需特別強調過程正在持續中。
×We need to crystallize the sugar water to make it sweet.
✓We need to dissolve the sugar in water to make it sweet. / We can crystallize the sugar from the solution to obtain pure sugar crystals.
混淆字面與比喻意義。「crystallize」在科學上指物質「結晶」（如糖從溶液中析出），並不會讓東西變甜。在比喻用法上指想法、計畫「變得具體清晰」。錯誤句誤用了字面意義的邏輯。
