用法說明
How is "Hiding" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Hiding"?
hiding doing vs hiding to do
- hiding doing 通常表示「正在進行」或「習慣性」的隱藏行為，強調動作本身或持續的狀態。
- hiding to do 則常表示「為了某個目的而隱藏」，隱藏是為了接下來能執行另一個動作。
- 在描述「避免被發現」的持續狀態時，使用 hiding doing 更為自然。
- 當隱藏是為了「準備、計畫或意圖」做某事時，則會使用 hiding to do 的結構。 EN: The children are hiding playing from their parents. 翻譯: 孩子們正在躲起來玩，不讓父母發現。
EN:He is hiding to surprise his friend at the party.
翻譯:他正躲著，準備在派對上給朋友一個驚喜。
EN:She spent the afternoon hiding reading her new book.
翻譯:她整個下午都躲起來看她的新書。
EN:The cat is hiding to ambush the toy mouse.

口語用法

引述
在轉述他人說過的話或想法時，常用來表示「隱瞞」或「不透露」的意圖。 EN: He was like, "I'm not hiding anything from you," but his face said otherwise. 翻譯: 他當時說：「我沒有對你隱瞞任何事情，」但他的表情卻不是這麼回事。
EN:She kept hiding her real feelings, saying everything was "fine."

語氣強調

EN:Stop hiding behind excuses and just tell the truth.
翻譯:別再躲在藉口後面了，老實說出來吧。
停頓填充
在即時對話中思考下一句話時，用來填充停頓，常以進行式或現在式出現。 EN: So, what was I... uh, hiding... oh right, I was hiding the surprise gift. 翻譯: 所以，我剛剛在...呃，藏...對了，我在藏那份驚喜禮物。
EN:I mean, if you're hiding something that big, it's gonna come out eventually.
翻譯:我是說，如果你隱瞞那麼大的事情，它遲早會曝光的。
正式寫作注意：在正式或學術寫作中，應避免使用上述口語化的引述結構（如 "He was like..."）、過於誇張的語氣詞（如 "literally" 用於非字面意義時）以及填充停頓的破碎語句。建議改用更精確、完整的陳述，例如 "He claimed he was not concealing any information" 或 "Concealing one's true intentions behind excuses is inadvisable."

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Hiding"?Which "Hiding" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He is hiding the book under the table.
✓He hid the book under the table.
使用現在進行式 'is hiding' 表示正在進行的動作。如果動作已經完成，應該使用過去式 'hid'。
×I found him hiding in the closet.
✓I found him hiding in the closet.
原句文法正確，但學習者常誤解 'hiding' 在此為現在分詞，用來補充說明 'him' 的狀態，而非主要動詞。主要動詞是 'found'。
×Stop to hide from me!
✓Stop hiding from me!
動詞 'stop' 後面接動名詞 (V-ing) 表示停止正在進行的動作。接不定詞 (to V) 表示停下來去做另一件事，語意在此不合。
×Where did you hided the keys?
✓Where did you hide the keys?
在疑問句 'did you...' 中，主要動詞應使用原形 'hide'，不應使用過去式 'hid' 或過去分詞 'hidden'。
×The treasure was hiding in the cave for centuries.
✓The treasure was hidden in the cave for centuries.
'Hiding' 是主動、有意識的動作。寶藏不會自己主動躲藏，應使用被動語態 'was hidden' 表示被藏起來的狀態。
×She is good at hiding her emotion.
✓She is good at hiding her emotions.
'Emotion' 作為可數名詞，指具體的某種情緒（如 joy, anger）。當泛指『情感、情緒』時，通常使用複數形式 'emotions'。
