用法說明
How is "Healing" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Healing"?
healing 作為動詞與形容詞的用法區別
- healing (現在分詞/動名詞)：強調「正在治癒」的過程或動作本身。常與進行式或作為主詞/受詞的動名詞搭配。
- healing (形容詞)：描述具有「治癒作用的」或「正在康復的」狀態。通常修飾名詞，如 healing process（癒合過程）。
- 當 healing 與感官動詞（如 feel, see）或使役動詞連用時，需注意其分詞形式是表示主動進行。
- 在「need/want/require + V-ing」結構中，healing 雖為動名詞形式，但帶有被動含義，例如「The wound needs healing」意為「傷口需要被治癒」。
對比例句： EN: I can feel the scar healing gradually. 翻譯: 我能感覺到疤痕正在逐漸癒合。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Healing"?Which "Healing" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×The doctor is healing the patient.
✓The doctor is treating the patient.
在醫療情境中，'healing' 通常指身體自然癒合的過程，而非醫生主動進行的治療行為。醫生進行的是 'treating'（治療），而傷口或身體本身才是 'healing'（癒合）。
×I need to healing my broken heart.
✓I need to heal my broken heart.
'Healing' 是動名詞或現在分詞，不能直接跟在情態動詞或不定詞 'to' 後面作主要動詞。應使用動詞原形 'heal'。
×His injury is healing him slowly.
✓His injury is healing slowly.
'Heal' 在此作不及物動詞，描述傷口自行癒合的狀態，不需要受詞 'him'。若想表達『某物治癒了他』，應使用及物用法，如：'The treatment healed him.'
×After the surgery, his body healed for several months.
✓After the surgery, his body was healing for several months.
描述過去一段持續進行的癒合過程，應使用過去進行式 'was healing'，以強調該過程的持續性與未完成性。簡單過去式 'healed' 暗示動作已完成，但與 'for several months' 的時間狀語搭配時，進行式更為自然。
×She healed from her illness.
✓She recovered from her illness. / Her illness healed.
人作為主語時，通常使用 'recover from' 來表示從疾病中康復。'Heal' 的主語常是傷口、創傷或疾病本身。雖然 'heal' 也有不及物用法指人康復，但較不常見，且通常與 'up' 連用或用在被動語態（如：She was healed）。
