常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Glass"?Which "Glass" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I will glass the window.
✓I will install the glass in the window.
將 'glass' 用作動詞時，意思是「裝上玻璃」或「用玻璃覆蓋」，而不是泛指「安裝窗戶」。若要表達安裝窗戶玻璃，應使用更明確的動詞如 'install' 或 'put in'，或使用 'glass' 作為動詞時需搭配適當的受詞結構，例如 'glass the window frame'。
×The potter will glass the ceramic vase.
✓The potter will glaze the ceramic vase.
在陶藝或陶瓷製作中，為器物表面塗上光滑、玻璃質的塗層，正確的動詞是 'glaze'，而不是 'glass'。'Glass' 作動詞主要指安裝平板玻璃或用玻璃覆蓋建築結構。
×He glassed the balcony last week.
✓He glazed the balcony last week. (if meaning to install glass) OR He installed glass on the balcony last week.
'Glass' 作為動詞（意為「裝上玻璃」）是規則動詞，其過去式與過去分詞為 'glassed'。然而，在實際使用中，這個動詞較為專業或特定，初學者常誤用或與其他動詞混淆。在描述過去為陽台裝玻璃時，使用 'glazed'（指安裝玻璃窗）或更明確的 'installed glass' 更為常見且自然。若使用 'glassed'，可能被誤解為俚語「用玻璃攻擊」的過去式。
×We plan to glass for more light.
✓We plan to glass in the wall for more light.
動詞 'glass'（裝玻璃）是及物動詞，通常需要一個明確的受詞（如牆、窗框、結構）來表示將玻璃安裝在何處。不能單獨使用而不指定安裝的目標位置。常見結構為 'glass in [某區域]' 或 'glass [某結構]'。
×Please glass a window here.
✓Please put in a glass window here. OR Please install a window here.
在一般口語中，較少直接使用 'glass' 作為動詞來表達「在這裡裝一扇窗」。'Glass' 作為動詞較正式或用於特定情境（如建築、裝修）。日常對話中，會使用更通用的說法，如 'put in a window'、'install a window' 或 'add a glass panel'。
