常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Dart"?Which "Dart" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He darted to the door.
✓He darted out the door.
「dart」通常表示快速、突然的移動，常與方向性介系詞（如 out, into, across）連用，以明確指出移動的起點或終點。單獨使用「to」會使動作方向不夠生動或自然。
×I will dart to the store tomorrow.
✓I will dash to the store tomorrow.
「dart」強調的是瞬間、突然的爆發性動作，通常不用於描述計劃好的未來事件。對於有計劃的快速移動，使用「dash」或「rush」更為自然。
×She darted her eyes around the room.
✓She darted a glance around the room. / Her eyes darted around the room.
「dart」作為動詞時，主語通常是移動的實體本身（如人、動物、眼睛）。使用「dart one's eyes」這種結構不自然。正確用法是將「eyes」作為主語，或使用「dart a glance/look」。
×The car darted on the highway.
✓The car weaved/swerved on the highway.
「dart」用於描述輕巧、敏捷物體（如人、小動物、眼神）的快速直線或短距移動。描述車輛在高速公路上快速變換車道，使用「weave」、「swerve」或「zip」更為貼切。
×He darted running when he saw the dog.
✓He broke into a run/darted off when he saw the dog.
「dart」本身已是表示快速移動的動詞，後面不接另一個動詞「running」。應使用「darted off」或改用其他描述突然開始奔跑的片語，如「broke into a run」。
