用法說明
How is "Guide" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Guide"?
guide doing vs guide to do
- guide doing 通常用於描述「指導某人進行某個具體、持續的活動或過程」。這個結構強調指導的內容或活動本身。
- guide to do 則更常表示「指導某人去完成某個特定的行動或任務」，有時帶有「引導、促使某人去做某事」的意味。
- 在許多情況下，兩者可以互換使用，語意差異細微。但 guide in doing 也是一個常見的替代說法，特別是在較正式的文體中。 EN: The manual will guide you in assembling the furniture correctly. 翻譯: 這本手冊將指導你正確地組裝家具。
EN:The mentor guided her to apply for the prestigious scholarship.
翻譯:導師指導她去申請那項著名的獎學金。
總結建議
在大多數情況下，使用 guide in doing 或 guide to do 皆可，前者在正式指引中略為常見。
易混淆對比
What is the difference between "Guide" and similar words?How to choose "Guide" vs alternatives?
guide vs lead
「guide」強調在旁指引、提供建議或資訊，過程較為輔助性；「lead」則強調走在前面帶領、主導方向或團隊，更具權威性和主動性。
guide vs direct
「guide」著重於逐步引導、陪伴或提供知識；「direct」則更偏向於給予明確的指令、命令或指出方向，過程可能較為簡潔、權威。
guide vs steer
「guide」涵蓋範圍較廣，可用於抽象或具體的指引；「steer」原意為操控方向（如方向盤），引申為引導時，更強調控制過程以避開困難或走向特定目標。

引述
在轉述他人指示或建議時，常用來緩和語氣，表示這不是說話者本人的原創想法。 EN: He was just guiding me through the steps, saying, "First, you need to log in." 翻譯: 他只是引導我一步步來，說：「首先，你需要登入。」
EN:As my friend guided me, "If you're lost, just ask a local."

EN:She's been guiding me along this project since day one.

停頓填充
在思考下一步或組織語言時，用作口語中的填充詞，常以「let me guide you through...」或「so, guiding you...」等形式出現。 EN: So, guiding you through the main points... uh, the first thing is safety. 翻譯: 那麼，引導你了解重點... 呃，第一件事是安全。
EN:Let me guide you through... okay, imagine you're at the front desk.
翻譯:讓我引導你... 好的，想像你現在在前台。
正式寫作注意：在正式或學術寫作中，應避免將 "guide" 用作上述口語中的停頓填充詞，以保持文章的簡潔與嚴謹性。建議使用更直接的表達，如 "explain," "instruct," 或 "direct."

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Guide"?Which "Guide" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He guided me to do the project.
✓He guided me in doing the project.
「guide」通常不接「to do」的不定詞結構來表示指導某人做某事，正確用法是「guide someone in doing something」或「guide someone through something」。
×She guided the team for the new strategy.
✓She guided the team on the new strategy.
表示「在...方面指導」時，介系詞通常用「on」或「in」，而不是「for」。
×This principle guides us to make better decisions.
✓This principle guides us in making better decisions.
當主語是非人（如原則、價值觀、手冊）時，表示「引導某人做某事」的正確結構也是「guide someone in doing something」，而非「guide someone to do something」。
×I will guide you the museum.
✓I will guide you around the museum.
「guide」作為及物動詞時，若後面要接參觀的地點，需要加上適當的介系詞（如 around, through, to）來表達引導的範圍或目的地。
×We were guided by this map for our trip.
✓We used this map to guide us on our trip.
被動語態「be guided by」通常用於抽象概念（如原則、感覺、信念）的引導，而非具體的工具如地圖、手冊。對於具體工具，更自然的說法是「use something to guide」。
