用法說明
How is "Custom" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Custom"?
custom doing vs custom to do
- custom doing 通常描述一個習慣性或經常性的行為，強調這個動作是個人或群體一貫的作風或慣例。
- custom to do 則常用於描述一個特定的、有目的性的行為，尤其是在正式或書面語中，表示「習慣於去做某事」。
- 在描述一個長期的、根深蒂固的習慣時，兩者有時可以互換，但 custom doing 更側重於動作本身，而 custom to do 可能更側重於「選擇」或「傾向」。
對比例句： EN: They custom tipping generously at local restaurants. 翻譯: 他們習慣在當地餐廳給豐厚的小費。
EN:It is their custom to tip generously at local restaurants.
翻譯:在當地餐廳給豐厚的小費是他們的慣例。
EN:She custom working late to finish her projects.
翻譯:她習慣工作到很晚來完成她的專案。
EN:She made it her custom to work late when a deadline approached.
翻譯:她養成了在截止日期接近時工作到很晚的習慣。
總結建議
在大多數情況下，描述個人或群體的習慣性動作時，使用 custom doing 更為自然直接；而在較正式或強調該習慣作為一項既定慣例時，則可使用 custom to do 的結構。
易混淆對比
What is the difference between "Custom" and similar words?How to choose "Custom" vs alternatives?
custom vs order
custom 強調根據個人需求或規格進行客製化；order 則指一般性的下單或訂購，不涉及修改產品本身。
custom vs personalize
custom 通常涉及結構性或功能性的修改；personalize 更側重於添加個人標記或偏好，使其感覺專屬。
custom vs tailor
兩者意思非常接近，常可互換，但 tailor 更常隱含「調整以精確適應」的意象，custom 則更強調「從無到有訂製」。

引述
在轉述他人要求或偏好時，常用 "custom" 來避免重複 "want" 或 "like"。 EN: So you're saying they custom their reports to be printed double-sided? 翻譯: 所以你是說他們要求報告要雙面列印？
EN:She said she can custom the playlist for the party.
翻譯:她說她可以為派對客製化播放清單。
語氣強調
在非正式對話中，有時會用 "custom" 來強調某物是特別訂製、非現成的，帶有炫耀或強調獨特性的語氣。 EN: This isn't just any bike; I had it totally custom built. 翻譯: 這可不是隨便一輛腳踏車；我是完全請人訂做的。
EN:Oh, these shoes? Yeah, they're custom. Got my initials on them.
翻譯:喔，這雙鞋嗎？對啊，是訂做的。上面有我名字的縮寫。
停頓填充
在思考如何描述或解釋「客製化」的過程時，可能會用 "to custom" 作為一個暫時的動詞填充詞。 EN: The process is... you know... you basically custom it to fit your needs. 翻譯: 那個流程是...你知道...基本上你就是把它客製成符合你的需求。
EN:We need to... um... custom the software a bit more before launch.
翻譯:我們需要...嗯...在上市前再把軟體客製化一下。
正式寫作注意：在正式或學術寫作中，建議使用更標準的動詞如 "customize"、"tailor" 或 "have something custom-made"，避免使用 "to custom" 作為動詞，因其在正式文體中仍被視為較不規範或過於口語化的用法。
