用法說明

hog + 名詞 vs. hog + 名詞 + 介系詞片語

  • hog + 名詞 是最基本且常見的結構,表示「霸佔某個具體的物體或空間」。
  • 當需要更精確地說明「在哪裡」或「從誰那裡」霸佔時,會使用 hog + 名詞 + 介系詞片語(如 in, on, from)。

EN:He always hogs the remote control in the living room.

翻譯:他總是在客廳霸佔著遙控器。

總結建議

一般情況下使用「hog + 名詞」即可,若需強調霸佔的地點或對象,則加上介系詞片語。

常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Hog"?Which "Hog" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×He always hogs the remote controller.

He always hogs the remote control.

在英語中,電視遙控器的標準說法是 "remote control" 或簡稱 "remote",而非 "remote controller"。"Controller" 通常指遊戲控制器或某種系統的控制者。

×She hogs all the attention to herself.

She hogs all the attention.

動詞 "hog" 本身已帶有「為自己而霸佔」的含義,因此加上 "to herself" 是多餘且不自然的。直接說 "hog the attention" 即可。

×My brother is hogging the bathroom since one hour.

My brother has been hogging the bathroom for an hour.

描述從過去持續到現在的動作,應使用現在完成進行式 (has been + V-ing),並用 "for" 來表示一段時間,而非 "since"。"Since" 後面應接一個特定的時間點。

×Don't hog the road, please drive carefully.

Don't hog the road, let others pass.

"Hog the road" 意指霸佔道路(如開在路中央不讓他人超車),其語意與 "please drive carefully"(請小心駕駛)並無直接邏輯關聯。正確的對比或解決方式應是提醒駕駛讓出空間給他人。

×I hogged to use the new software first.

I hogged the new software to use it first.

"Hog" 是及物動詞,後面直接接受詞(霸佔的對象),不能接不定詞 "to use"。正確結構是 "hog + 受詞",目的則用 "to + V" 或其他方式另外表示。

×It's not polite to hog in a conversation.

It's not polite to hog the conversation.

固定搭配是 "hog the conversation",意指在對話中獨佔發言權,不讓他人有說話的機會。介系詞 "in" 在此是多餘且不正確的。
