hate doing vs hate to do
- hate doing 通常用來描述一般性、習慣性討厭的事情，或對某個活動本身的厭惡。
- hate to do 則常指特定、一次性的情況，表示不情願做某件事，或對即將發生的具體行動感到遺憾。
- 在美式英語中，兩者有時可以互換，但細微差別依然存在。
- 在 would hate to + V 的結構中，只能用 to do，用來禮貌地表達強烈不希望某事發生。 EN: I hate getting up early every morning. 翻譯: 我討厭每天早上早起。
EN:I hate to interrupt you, but we're running late.

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Hate"?Which "Hate" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I hate to do homework.
✓I hate doing homework.
表達對某種經常性或一般性活動的厭惡時，通常使用 "hate + V-ing" 形式，而非 "hate + to V"。"hate to V" 多用於表達對特定、即將發生或一次性事件的厭惡或遺憾。
×I hate him to lie.
✓I hate it when he lies. / I hate his lying.
"Hate" 後面不能直接接 "人 + to V" 的結構。若要表達討厭某人做某事，應使用 "hate it when + 子句" 或 "hate + 所有格 + V-ing" 的結構。
×I am hating this movie.
✓I hate this movie.
"Hate" 是狀態動詞，通常不用進行式。應使用簡單式來表達一種持續的厭惡情感。
×I hate you.
✓I don't like what you did. / I'm really upset with you.
在英語中，直接對人說 "I hate you" 是非常強烈且具攻擊性的，通常只用於極端情況。表達不滿時，應更具體地描述行為或感受，以避免不必要的衝突。
×I very hate spicy food.
✓I really hate spicy food. / I hate spicy food very much.
在英語中，"very" 不能直接修飾動詞。修飾動詞 "hate" 時，應使用 "really"、"absolutely" 等副詞，或將 "very much" 置於句尾。
×I hate to tell you, but your plan is bad.
✓I hate to say this, but I think your plan has some issues.
"I hate to tell you" 聽起來較為直接且可能粗魯。使用 "I hate to say this" 或 "I'm sorry to say" 作為緩衝語，能更禮貌地引導出負面意見。
