用法說明

How is "Develop" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Develop"?

develop doing vs develop to do

  • develop doing 通常用於描述一個持續的、習慣性的過程或狀態,強調「發展出做某事的習慣或能力」。
  • develop to do 則常表示一個有目的性的發展,為了達成某個特定目標或結果而發展出某種能力或特性。
  • 在表示「逐漸開始做某事」或「養成做某事的習慣」時,develop doing 是更常見的用法。
  • 當句子主語是事物(如計畫、系統、情況),且發展是為了實現某個功能或目的時,develop to + V 的結構較為自然。 EN: The company developed using renewable energy sources to reduce costs. 翻譯: 這家公司發展出使用再生能源的習慣以降低成本。

常見錯誤

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

×I developed to speak English.

I developed my English speaking skills.

「develop」作為及物動詞時,後面直接接發展的對象(名詞),不能接不定詞「to + 動詞」。應使用名詞或名詞片語作為受詞。

×This city is developing to a modern metropolis.

This city is developing into a modern metropolis.

表達「發展成為...」時,應使用「develop into + 名詞」,介系詞用「into」而非「to」。

×He developed a cold since yesterday.

He came down with a cold yesterday. / He developed a cold yesterday.

「develop」用於疾病時,通常指較長期或逐漸形成的狀況(如慢性病、症狀),不適用於突然發生的急性小病(如感冒)。描述感冒等急性病發作,常用「come down with」或直接說「got/caught a cold」。若堅持用「develop」,時態和時間副詞需調整,表示「從某時開始出現」。

×We need to develop our economy growing.

We need to develop our economy. / We need to grow our economy.

「develop」本身已包含「使成長、進步」的意思,後面不需再加「growing」或「to grow」等表示成長的詞,否則語意重複。應直接以名詞作為受詞。

×I am developing a plan for the trip.

I am making a plan for the trip.

「develop」用於「計畫」時,通常指經過較長時間、較複雜或正式的「制定、研擬」過程(如商業計畫、開發計畫)。對於日常、簡單的計畫安排(如旅行計畫),更自然的用詞是「make a plan」。

×The story developed a happy ending.

The story developed into a happy ending. / The story had a happy ending.

描述故事「發展出」某種結局時,需使用「develop into」來連接結局。若直接敘述故事擁有某結局,則使用「have」。
