用法說明
How is "Hell" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Hell"?
hell to pay vs hell of a time
- hell to pay 是一個固定片語，意思是「嚴重的後果」或「大麻煩」，通常用於描述某人因做錯事而將面臨的責難或處罰。
- hell of a time 則有兩個常見但相反的含義：1) 指「非常艱難或糟糕的時光」；2) 在非正式口語中，也可指「非常愉快、盡興的時光」，具體含義需視上下文而定。
- 兩者都是名詞性片語，但 hell to pay 通常與動詞
have或there be結構連用，而 hell of a time 常與動詞have或give連用。 EN: If you break that vase, you'll have hell to pay. 翻譯: 如果你打破那個花瓶，你就有大麻煩了。
EN:We had a hell of a time trying to fix the old car.
翻譯:我們修理那輛舊車時，真是吃盡了苦頭。
EN:She gave me hell for coming home late.
翻譯:她因為我晚回家而狠狠罵了我一頓。
EN:We had a hell of a time at the party last night!
翻譯:我們昨晚在派對上玩得開心極了！
總結建議
記住「hell to pay」專指「麻煩後果」，而「hell of a time」可指「糟糕經歷」或「美好時光」，需根據語境判斷。
易混淆對比
What is the difference between "Hell" and similar words?How to choose "Hell" vs alternatives?
hell vs like
「hell」作為動詞，在口語中意指「狂歡、玩樂」，帶有喧鬧、放縱的意味；而「like」作為動詞，主要表示「喜歡」或「想要」，是表達偏好或願望的常用詞。
hell vs party
「hell」作動詞時，強調喧鬧、不顧後果的玩樂行為；「party」作動詞時，則泛指「參加派對」或「舉辦派對」，是更通用、直接的說法。
hell vs revel
「hell」與「revel」作動詞時，皆可表示「狂歡作樂」，但「hell」是俚語，語氣更粗俗、強烈；「revel」則較為書面，可指沉浸在歡樂或某種活動中。

翻譯:她看著一團亂，低聲咕噥：「這到底是怎麼發生的？」

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Hell"?Which "Hell" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He helled at his brother.
✓He yelled at his brother.
"Hell" 作為動詞時，意思是「狂歡、玩樂」，通常用於片語 "hell around"。表達「大聲喊叫」應使用 "yell" 或 "shout"。
×They decided to hell last night.
✓They decided to go out and have fun last night.
"Hell" 作為動詞單獨使用不自然，通常需要搭配副詞或介系詞，如 "hell around"（到處狂歡玩樂）。直接說 "to hell" 會讓人誤解為名詞用法（去地獄）。
×I am helling to finish this work.
✓I am working like hell to finish this work.
表達「拼命做某事」時，動詞 "hell" 不能直接接不定詞 "to do"。正確用法是使用副詞片語 "like hell" 來修飾動詞，意為「拼命地、極度地」。
×Don't hell me!
✓Don't give me hell! / Don't hassle me!
"Hell" 作為動詞沒有「責罵、騷擾」的直接及物用法。要表達「給某人找麻煩、責罵某人」，應使用片語 "give someone hell" 或動詞 "hassle"、"nag"。
×Let's hell this party!
✓Let's make this party hell! / Let's tear up the town!
"Hell" 作為動詞是「不及物動詞」，後面不能直接接受詞。想表達「讓某場合變得很狂野/熱鬧」，需使用其他結構，如 "make [something] hell"（讓...變得很瘋狂）或使用其他動詞如 "tear up"。
