×I am fascinating by this book.

I am fascinated by this book.

當描述某人對某事物感到著迷時,主詞是人,應使用被動語態 'fascinated'。'Fascinating' 是形容事物本身具有吸引力。

This is a fascinating story.

修飾事物(如故事、電影、想法)時,應使用現在分詞 'fascinating',表示該事物具有令人著迷的特質。'Fascinated' 用來描述人的感受狀態。

×It's very fascinating for me.

It's fascinating to me. / I find it fascinating.

×He is a fascinating person by his knowledge.

He is a fascinating person because of his knowledge.

表達原因時,應使用 'because of'、'due to' 或 'owing to'。'By' 通常用於表示被動語態的執行者或方式,不用於引導原因。

This movie is more fascinating than that one.

在比較句中,比較的對象必須明確。使用 'that one' 或 'the other one' 來指代前文提到的同類事物(電影),使句子結構完整清晰。
