常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Damaged"?Which "Damaged" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×The car was damaged from the accident.
✓The car was damaged in the accident.
使用 "damaged from" 表示損壞的來源或原因並不自然。描述事件中發生的損壞時，應使用 "damaged in" 來表示在該事件過程中受損。
×My phone got damaged.
✓My phone was damaged.
雖然口語中 "got damaged" 有時會被使用，但在正式或書面英語中，"was damaged" 是更標準、更正確的被動語態形式。"got" 在這種語境下較不正式。
×He damaged his leg.
✓He injured his leg.
"Damage" 通常用於物體、財產、名譽或抽象事物（如關係），而不直接用於身體部位。描述身體受傷應使用 "injure", "hurt" 或 "wound"。
×The computer is damage.
✓The computer is damaged.
"Damage" 是動詞原形或名詞。描述狀態時，應使用過去分詞 "damaged" 作為形容詞，表示「受損的」狀態。
×I'm sorry for damaging your feelings.
✓I'm sorry for hurting your feelings.
雖然 "damage" 可用於抽象事物如 "reputation" 或 "relationship"，但與 "feelings"（情感）搭配時，更自然、常見的動詞是 "hurt"。
×The storm damaged to many roofs.
✓The storm damaged many roofs.
"Damage" 是及物動詞，後面直接接受詞（被損壞的物體），不需要介系詞 "to"。加入 "to" 是多餘且錯誤的。
