用法說明

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

grade doing vs grade to do

  • grade doing 通常用於描述評分或分級的「一般性、習慣性動作」,強調評分這個過程或職責本身。
  • grade to do 的結構在標準用法中並不常見。當表達「為了...而評分」或「評分是為了...」時,通常會使用其他結構,如 grade something to achieve...grade something for a purpose
  • 動詞 grade 最常見的及物用法是直接接受詞(名詞或代名詞),例如:grade papersgrade the test
  • 若要表達「應該評分」或「需要被評分」,會使用被動語態(needs to be graded)或形容詞(gradable)。 EN: She spends hours grading essays every night. 翻譯: 她每晚花好幾個小時批改作文。

EN:The teacher will grade the final exams to determine the semester scores.

翻譯:老師將批改期末考卷以決定學期成績。

總結建議

對於動詞 grade,建議直接使用「grade + 受詞(名詞)」的標準結構,避免使用不自然的「grade to do」句型。

易混淆對比

What is the difference between "Grade" and similar words?How to choose "Grade" vs alternatives?

grade vs classify

「grade」強調按品質、程度或等級進行排序或評分,通常有明確的等級序列(如A、B、C或數字)。「classify」則強調按類別、類型或特徵進行歸類,不一定有高低順序。

grade vs rate

「grade」通常指按照一套既定標準(如量表、等級)進行系統性的評定或分級,結果常為離散的等級。「rate」則更廣泛地指評估價值、品質或程度,結果可以是分數、等級或簡單的評價。

grade vs rank

「grade」側重於根據品質或表現標準,將事物歸入某個等級類別。「rank」則更強調在一個群體或序列中確定相對的位置或次序,競爭或比較的意味更強。

翻譯:這很難評分,你知道的,因為每個人的標準都不一樣。

正式寫作注意:在學術或正式文件中,「grade」作為動詞使用時,通常僅限於指「評分、評等」或「依品質分級」的具體過程。上述口語中用於引述、強調或填充的用法,在正式寫作中應避免,以保持語言的嚴謹與客觀。

常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Grade"?Which "Grade" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×The teacher will grade our papers tomorrow.

The teacher will grade our papers tomorrow.

雖然句子本身正確,但學習者常誤以為 'grade' 在此是名詞(成績)。此處 'grade' 是動詞,意為「評分」。名詞用法如 'I got a good grade.' 才是「成績」。

×The teacher is grading.

The teacher is grading the tests.

動詞 'grade' 通常為及物動詞,需要受詞(如 papers, exams, assignments)。除非上下文已清楚表明評分對象,否則應加上受詞。

×The teacher graded on my paper.

The teacher graded my paper.

動詞 'grade' 後直接接受詞(被評分的東西),不需要介系詞 'on'。'On' 用於名詞 'grade' 時,如 'a grade on the test'。

×My essay graded by the teacher.

My essay was graded by the teacher.

當主詞是「被評分的東西」時,應使用被動語態 (be graded)。主動語態的主詞應是執行評分動作的人(如 teacher, professor)。

×The system will automatically grade your answer as correct or wrong.

The system will automatically score/evaluate your answer as correct or incorrect.

'Grade' 通常指對作業、考試、表現等給予一個等級(如A, B, C)或分數。對於簡單的對錯判斷,更常用 'score', 'mark', 或 'evaluate'。'Grade' 隱含排序或分級的概念。

×I am grading the students for their effort.

I grade the students on their effort.

表達「評分的依據或標準」時,常用句型是 'grade someone/something on something'。使用現在簡單式表示一般性的評分標準,而非正在進行的動作。
