用法說明

helping do vs helping to do
- 在美式英語中，
help後面接另一個動詞時，常省略to，直接使用help do something。 - 在英式英語中，
help to do something的用法更為常見，但省略to的用法也完全正確。 - 兩種結構在語意上沒有區別，都表示「協助做某事」。
- 當
help後面接的動詞較長或結構較複雜時，使用to有時能使句子更清晰。 EN: Could you help me move this table? 翻譯: 你能幫我搬一下這張桌子嗎？
EN:She helped to organize the community event.
翻譯:她協助籌辦了這次社區活動。
