用法說明

How is "Field" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Field"?

field doing vs field to do

  • field doing 通常表示「在現場處理或執行某項具體任務或活動」,強調動作正在發生或是一種常規職責。
  • field to do 則常與情態動詞(如 need to, have to)或表示未來意圖的動詞(如 plan to, want to)連用,表示「需要/打算到現場去做某事」,強調目的或必要性。
  • 在被動語態或描述職責時,兩種結構可能語意相近,但 field doing 更側重過程,field to do 更側重任務本身。 EN: The technician is field testing the new equipment. 翻譯: 技術員正在現場測試新設備。

EN:A specialist needs to field to repair the complex machinery.

翻譯:需要一位專家到現場去修理這台複雜的機器。
