常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Exchange"?Which "Exchange" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I exchanged my old phone with a new one.
✓I exchanged my old phone for a new one.
使用 "exchange A for B" 表示用 A 換取 B，而非 "exchange A with B"。"with" 通常用於表示與某人交換物品時，如 "exchange gifts with someone"。
×We exchanged our contact informations.
✓We exchanged our contact information.
"information" 是不可數名詞，沒有複數形式，不能加 "s"。
×Let's exchange our seats.
✓Let's swap our seats. / Let's switch seats.
雖然 "exchange" 有交換的意思，但在日常口語中，表示兩人互換位置或物品時，更常使用 "swap" 或 "switch"。"exchange" 在這種情境下聽起來較為正式或不自然。
×I need to exchange this shirt to a larger size.
✓I need to exchange this shirt for a larger size.
表示更換商品尺寸或顏色時，應使用 "exchange for"，而非 "exchange to"。"to" 用於表示方向或變化結果，不適用於物品交換。
×We exchanged our opinions about the project.
✓We exchanged opinions on the project. / We shared our opinions about the project.
"exchange opinions" 是正確的，但通常不與所有格 "our" 連用，因為它暗示互相交換。使用 "exchange opinions on something" 或改用 "share our opinions about something" 更為自然。
×The two teams exchanged the trophies.
✓The two teams exchanged trophies.
在描述雙方互相交換物品時（例如獎盃、禮物），通常使用複數名詞而無需冠詞 "the"，因為指的是同類物品的交換，而非特定的單一物品。
