常見錯誤

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

×We need to consider the environmental of this project.

We need to consider the environmental impact of this project.

"Environmental" 是形容詞,不能單獨當作名詞使用。它必須修飾一個名詞(如 impact, issue, protection)。正確的名詞是 "environment"。

×enviromental

environmental

常見的拼寫錯誤是漏掉 "n" 後面的 "ment" 中的 "n"。正確拼寫為 environmental,源自名詞 environment。

×We should protect our environmental nature.

We should protect our environment. / We should protect nature.

"Environmental nature" 是冗餘的說法,因為 "environmental" 已包含與自然環境相關的含義。通常直接使用 "environment" 或 "nature" 即可。

×She is worried environmental about pollution.

She is worried about environmental pollution.

形容詞 "environmental" 應直接放在它所修飾的名詞(pollution)之前,構成名詞片語 "environmental pollution"。介系詞 "about" 的對象是整個名詞片語,而非形容詞本身。

×This product is good for the environmental balance.

This product is good for the ecological balance.

雖然相關,但 "environmental" 範圍較廣,指整體環境(物理、社會等)。"Ecological" 特指生態學,涉及生物與其環境的關係。描述物種、棲息地、生態系統的平衡時,用 "ecological" 更精確。
