用法說明

go doing vs go to do
- go doing 通常指為了休閒、娛樂或特定活動而「去做某事」，特別是運動或戶外活動，例如 go swimming, go shopping, go hiking。
- go to do 則強調「前往某處」的目的是「為了做某事」，焦點在於意圖或目的地。
- 在許多日常活動中（如 go shopping），使用 go doing 是固定且自然的說法。
- 當你想表達去某個具體地點執行一個動作時，更常使用 go to do。
對比例句： EN: Let's go swimming this afternoon. 翻譯: 我們今天下午去游泳吧。
EN:I need to go to buy some groceries.
翻譯:我需要去買些雜貨。

口語用法

引述
在轉述他人話語或想法時，常會用 "go" 來生動地模仿當時的對話或內心戲。 EN: So I was trying to explain, and he just goes, "Whatever, I'm out of here." 翻譯: 所以我試著解釋，然後他就直接說：「隨便啦，我要走了。」
EN:When she saw the mess, her mind went, "Oh no, not again."
翻譯:當她看到一團亂時，她心想：「喔不，又來了。」
語氣強調
在口語中，常用 "go" 來強調某個動作或狀態的突然發生、戲劇性變化，或帶有誇張的語氣。 EN: And then the lights just went out, and everyone screamed. 翻譯: 然後燈就突然熄滅了，所有人都尖叫起來。
EN:Don't go blaming me for your own mistakes!
翻譯:別把你的錯怪到我頭上！
停頓填充
在思考下一句話或尋找合適詞彙時，會用 "go" 相關的短語作為填充詞，使對話聽起來更自然、不那麼生硬。 EN: The place we went to last time... you know, the one that goes... um, with the great pizza. 翻譯: 我們上次去的那個地方...你知道的，就是那個...嗯，披薩很棒的那家。
EN:So I was like, "What's the plan?" and he was all, "I don't know, we'll just go with the flow."
翻譯:所以我就問：「計畫是什麼？」然後他就說：「我不知道，我們就順其自然吧。」
正式寫作注意：以上口語用法（尤其是用 "go" 來直接引述對話，或作為思考停頓的填充詞）非常不正式，僅限於朋友間的非正式對話或戲劇性敘述。在學術寫作、商業報告或正式書信中應完全避免，應改用 "say", "think", "exclaim" 等更精確的動詞，或直接重組句子結構，避免使用填充詞。
