execution vs implementation
「execution」強調執行過程與行動本身，而「implementation」側重將計畫或系統付諸實踐的整體過程。
execution vs performance
「execution」指按計畫或要求完成任務，而「performance」更側重執行過程中的表現、效能或藝術呈現。
execution vs enforcement
「execution」泛指執行各種任務或計畫，而「enforcement」特指對法律、規則或權威的強制執行。
在口語中，當引述或提及某個計畫、命令或想法的具體實施時，常用此字。 EN: "The execution of the marketing plan was flawless." 翻譯: 那份行銷計畫的執行過程無懈可擊。
EN:"We need to discuss the execution of the boss's orders."
翻譯:我們需要討論一下老闆命令的執行情況。
用於強調某件事的「完成過程」或「實施品質」，而非僅僅結果。 EN: "The idea is great, but the execution is what really matters." 翻譯: 點子很棒，但真正重要的是執行層面。
EN:"It's all about execution at this stage of the project."
翻譯:在專案的這個階段，一切全看執行力。
在思考如何描述一個過程或行動時，有時會用此字作為短暫停頓後的填充詞，以聽起來更專業或具體。 EN: "Our strategy... the execution... needs to be more agile." 翻譯: 我們的策略…那個執行層面…需要更靈活。
EN:"The plan is solid. The, uh, execution, however, could use some work."
翻譯:計畫本身很紮實。不過，呃，執行方面還有改進空間。
正式書寫注意：在正式或學術寫作中，應避免將「execution」用作填充詞。建議使用更完整、結構清晰的句子來描述過程，例如「the implementation process」或「the manner in which it was carried out」。

×The execution of the plan was done perfectly.
✓The execution of the plan was perfect.
在英文中，'execution' 本身已包含「執行、完成」的動作概念，通常不與 'was done' 連用，以避免冗餘。直接描述執行的狀態或結果更自然。
×He is responsible for the execution of the project.
✓He is responsible for the execution of the project.
此句文法正確，但學習者常混淆 'execution'（執行過程/動作）與 'implementation'（實施、落實）。'Execution' 更強調實際執行的動作與過程，'implementation' 則更側重將計畫或想法付諸實踐的整體行為。在商業或專案語境中，兩者有時可互換，但細微差別存在。
×The execution by the musician was very technical.
✓The musician's execution was very technical.
使用 'by' 的結構（The execution by...）雖然文法正確，但在描述某人的執行表現時，使用所有格（'s）或形容詞性物主代名詞（如 his execution）更為常見和自然。'By' 結構有時會讓句子聽起來笨重或過於正式。
×We need to improve our execution skill.
✓We need to improve our execution skills.
'Execution' 作為「執行力」或「執行技巧」時，通常以複數形式 'skills' 出現，因為它涉及多方面的能力（如規劃、協調、實施等）。使用單數 'skill' 較不常見。
×The software's execution speed is slow.
✓The software's execution speed is slow. / The software executes slowly.
此句文法正確，但學習者可能過度依賴名詞形式 'execution'。在許多技術或日常語境中，使用動詞 'execute' 能使句子更簡潔有力。了解何時使用名詞形式與動詞形式是關鍵。
×They discussed about the execution plan.
✓They discussed the execution plan.
動詞 'discuss' 是及物動詞，後面直接接受詞，不需要介系詞 'about'。這是學習者常見的介系詞錯誤。
