用法說明
How is "Easy" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Easy"?
easy to do vs. easy doing
- easy to do 是最常見且標準的用法，用來描述「做某事是容易的」。這裡的形容詞 easy 修飾的是後面的整個不定詞片語。
- easy doing 在標準英語中並不正確。easy 後面不能直接接動名詞 (V-ing)。
- 當你想用動名詞結構時，需要使用介系詞，例如 easy about doing something（對做某事感到輕鬆）或 easy in doing something（在做某事時很輕鬆），但這些意思與「某事容易做」不同。
- 一個常見的錯誤是將 It's easy doing... 當成 It's easy to do... 使用，這在正式寫作或考試中應避免。 EN: It is easy to learn how to ride a bike. 翻譯: 學騎腳踏車很容易。
EN:He is easy about admitting his mistakes.
翻譯:他對於承認錯誤看得很開。
總結建議
在表達「做某事很容易」時，請一律使用 easy to do 這個結構，避免使用 easy doing。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Easy"?Which "Easy" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×This work is easy to be done.
✓This work is easy to do.
形容詞 "easy" 後面的不定詞通常用主動語態，不用被動語態 "to be done"。正確結構是 "easy + to + 動詞原形"。
×He is easy to make friends.
✓He is easy to get along with. / It is easy to make friends with him.
不能說某人 "is easy to make friends"。正確說法是描述與某人相處很容易，或用 "It is easy to..." 的句型。
×I feel easy to pass the exam.
✓I think it is easy to pass the exam. / I feel confident about passing the exam.
"feel easy" 通常不用來表達「認為某事容易」。"feel easy" 意指感到放鬆、自在。表達「認為容易」應用 "think it is easy" 或 "find it easy"。
×This is an easy work.
✓This is an easy job/task. / This work is easy.
"work" 作為「工作」時是不可數名詞，前面不能加 "a/an"。可改用可數名詞 "job" 或 "task"，或將形容詞 "easy" 放在後面。
×He is easy.
✓He is easygoing. / The situation is easy to handle.
單獨說 "He is easy." 在英文中可能帶有負面或性暗示。想形容某人隨和、好相處，應用 "easygoing"。若指情況容易處理，應說明清楚。
×It's more easier.
✓It's easier.
"easier" 已經是比較級，前面不能再加 "more"。這是雙重比較的錯誤。最高級是 "the easiest"。
