常見錯誤

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

×He did a good deed to help the old lady.

He did a good deed by helping the old lady.

使用 'to help' 暗示意圖或目的,而非已完成的具體行為。'deed' 指已完成的具體行為,因此使用 'by + V-ing' 來描述如何完成該行為更為準確。

×I need to sign the deeds for the house.

I need to sign the deed for the house.

'deed' 在法律上指一份特定的產權轉讓文件或契約,通常為單數。使用複數 'deeds' 可能暗示多份不相關的文件,容易造成混淆。

×His brave deed was admired by everyone.

His brave deed was admired by everyone.

此處錯誤在於中文學習者可能誤用 'action' 或 'behavior' 等更通用的詞。'Deed' 特指顯著、重要或值得注意的行為,尤其是涉及勇氣、善惡或法律的行為,語意更強。

×The deed of the murder was shocking.

The act of the murder was shocking.

'Deed' 雖然可指行為,但通常帶有中性或正面含義(如 brave deed, good deed)。用於描述明顯負面或邪惡的行為(如謀殺)時,使用中性詞 'act' 或更具體的 'crime' 更為自然。

×She told me the whole deed of what happened.

She told me the whole story of what happened.

'Deed' 指單一、具體的行為或法律文件,不用來指稱一系列事件構成的『整個過程』或『敘述』。描述事件的完整經過應使用 'story', 'account', 或 'sequence of events'。
