常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Draw"?Which "Draw" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I will draw the wall with blue color.
✓I will paint the wall blue.
"draw" 通常指用線條描繪（如鉛筆、鋼筆畫），而為牆壁、物體上色通常用 "paint"。"draw" 強調輪廓或線條，"paint" 強調用刷子塗抹顏料。
×His loud tie drew attention to him.
✓His loud tie drew attention to himself.
當主語（領帶）的動作是使注意力回到主語所屬的人（他）身上時，反身代名詞 "himself" 比 "him" 更準確。雖然口語中 "to him" 有時可接受，但在正式寫作或強調反身動作時，"to himself" 是正確的。
×From the data, we can draw a conclusion that the theory is correct.
✓From the data, we can draw the conclusion that the theory is correct.
當結論是特指（由前述數據或討論得出的那個特定結論）時，應使用定冠詞 "the"，而不是不定冠詞 "a"。"draw a conclusion" 用於泛指「得出一個結論」。

"draw near" 後接時間或事件（如 Christmas, the end），意為「臨近」。表示物理上的接近，通常用 "draw close to" + 地點，或 "approach"。雖然 "drew near the bridge" 在文學中可能出現，但 "drew close to" 是更常見、更自然的搭配。

✓She drew on her personal experience to write the novel.
表示「利用、汲取（資源、經驗）」時，動詞片語是 "draw on" 或 "draw upon"，不能省略介系詞 "on/upon"。
