常見錯誤

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

×He defrauded the money from the investors.

He defrauded the investors.

「defraud」是及物動詞,直接接受欺騙的對象(人、組織),不需要用「defraud something from someone」的結構。正確用法是「defraud + 受害者」。

×He was defrauded to pay a large sum.

He was defrauded of a large sum.

表達「某人被詐騙了某物」時,應使用被動語態「be defrauded of + 被騙走的東西(金錢、財產等)」,而不是不定詞「to pay」。

×It's a crime to defraud.

It's a crime to defraud people (or a specific entity).

「defraud」通常需要一個明確的受詞(受害者),語意才完整。單獨使用「to defraud」在法律或正式語境中可能出現,但在一般語句中聽起來不自然且語意不清。

×They made a fraud to the customers.

They defrauded the customers.

「fraud」是名詞,而「defraud」是動詞。想表達「進行詐騙」這個動作時,應使用動詞「defraud」,而不是「make a fraud」。

×I feel defrauded by the bad service.

I feel cheated/misled by the bad service.

「defraud」通常指涉及金錢、財產或法律權利的故意、非法詐騙,語意較強且正式。對於服務不佳或一般性的受騙感覺,使用「cheated」或「misled」更為自然。
