常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Deactivate"?Which "Deactivate" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×I deactivated my account yesterday.

I deactivated my account yesterday.

雖然句子本身正確,但學習者常誤以為 'deactivate' 只能用於科技產品或機器。實際上,它也可用於抽象概念,如帳戶、會員資格、服務等。

×Please deactivate the alarm.

Please turn off the alarm. / Please disable the alarm.

'Deactivate' 通常指使某系統、功能或程序停止運作,常涉及較複雜的機制或需要多步驟的過程。對於簡單的開關(如鬧鐘、電燈),更自然的說法是 'turn off'。對於安全系統或電子設備的功能,'disable' 也是常見的同義詞。

×The bomb was deactived by the expert.

The bomb was deactivated by the expert.

常見拼字錯誤,將過去分詞 'deactivated' 誤拼為 'deactived'。動詞原形為 'deactivate',過去式與過去分詞為 'deactivated'。

×I will deactivate the meeting.

I will cancel the meeting. / I will call off the meeting.

'Deactivate' 的對象通常是具有功能或處於活動狀態的『事物』(如帳戶、警報、功能),而非『事件』(如會議、約會)。取消會議應使用 'cancel' 或 'call off'。

×He deactivated to use the service.

He deactivated the service. / He stopped using the service.

'Deactivate' 是及物動詞,必須直接接受詞,不可接不定詞 'to use'。若要表達「停止使用服務」,可直接說 'deactivated the service' 或使用片語 'stopped using the service'。

×The software deactivates automatically after the trial period.

The software deactivates automatically after the trial period.

句子本身正確,但學習者可能混淆 'deactivate' 與 'expire'。'Deactivate' 強調『使功能停止』的動作(可能是自動或人為),而 'expire' 強調『到期、失效』的狀態。在此句中兩者皆可能適用,但語意重點不同。
