用法說明

heal 與 heal up 的用法區別
- heal 通常指傷口、疾病或情緒創傷的「癒合、治癒」過程，是一個較為通用且正式的動詞。
- heal up 則更口語化，強調傷口或損傷「完全癒合、長好」的結果，常用於描述較小的、外部的傷口。
- 在描述嚴重創傷、內部疾病或抽象的情感傷害時，通常只用 heal。
- 兩者皆可作及物或不及物動詞，但 heal up 較少用作及物動詞。 EN: The cut on his finger took a week to heal. 翻譯: 他手指上的割傷花了一週才癒合。
EN:Don't worry, that small scratch will heal up in a couple of days.
翻譯:別擔心，那個小擦傷過兩天就會長好了。
EN:Time can heal emotional wounds.
翻譯:時間可以治癒情感的創傷。
EN:After the surgery, the incision healed up nicely without any infection.
翻譯:手術後，切口癒合得很好，沒有任何感染。
總結建議
描述一般性的治癒過程或抽象創傷用 heal，強調小傷口完全復原則可用口語的 heal up。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Heal"?Which "Heal" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×The doctor healed my wound.
✓The doctor treated my wound.
「heal」通常指傷口或身體自行癒合的過程，而非醫生進行的治療行為。醫生進行的是「treat」（治療），而傷口本身會「heal」（癒合）。
×I need to heal my cold.
✓I need to recover from my cold.
「heal」主要用於具體的傷口、骨折等物理損傷的癒合。對於感冒、疾病等，更常用「recover from」或「get over」。
×Time can heal.
✓Time heals all wounds.
「heal」作為不及物動詞時，通常需要明確的受詞（如 wounds, injury）或上下文來表明癒合什麼。單獨使用「Time can heal」語意不完整，是常見的片語誤用。
×This medicine will heal you the pain.
✓This medicine will relieve your pain.
「heal」的對象是「傷口」或「創傷」，而不是「疼痛」本身。緩解疼痛應用「relieve pain」。混淆了「治癒原因」與「緩解症狀」。
×Their relationship was healed after the argument.
✓Their relationship was repaired/mended after the argument.
雖然「heal」可比喻情感創傷（如 heal the emotional wound），但修復「關係」本身更常用「repair」或「mend」。「heal」在此是中式直譯的錯誤。
