用法說明

How is "Hole" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Hole"?

hole up vs hole in

  • Hole up 是一個完整的動詞片語,意思是「躲藏起來」或「蟄居」,通常指為了躲避某人、某事或度過一段時間而找個地方待著。
  • Hole in 則不是一個固定的片語。單獨的 hole 作為動詞時,意思是「打洞、穿孔」。介系詞 in 在這裡表示位置或動作的方向,例如「在...上打洞」或「鑽進...裡面」。
  • 簡單區分:hole up 是一個表達「躲藏」的獨立概念;而 hole 加上 in 時,in 只是用來描述打洞的位置或物體。

對比例句: EN: The fugitives decided to hole up in an abandoned cabin. 翻譯: 逃犯們決定躲藏在一間廢棄的小屋裡。

EN:The carpenter will hole in the wall to run the cables.

翻譯:木匠會在牆上打洞來鋪設電纜。

總結建議

表達「躲藏、蟄居」時使用片語 hole up,而表示具體的「打洞、穿孔」動作時,則根據上下文使用動詞 hole

常見錯誤

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

×He holed the ground.

He dug a hole in the ground.

"hole" 作動詞時,通常不直接以「地面」、「牆壁」等物體作為賓語。常見用法是 "hole something in something" 或使用更具體的動詞如 "dig" (挖)、"drill" (鑽)。

×I holed the paper with a pin.

I pierced the paper with a pin. / I made a hole in the paper with a pin.

用尖物(如針、釘子)刺穿物體,更自然的動詞是 "pierce" 或 "puncture"。"hole" 作動詞較常用於高爾夫球(將球打入洞中)或指「挖洞」、「鑿洞」的持續動作。

×The thieves holed in the abandoned building.

The thieves holed up in the abandoned building.

"hole" 作動詞表示「躲藏」、「藏身」時,必須與副詞 "up" 連用,形成片語動詞 "hole up"。單獨使用 "hole" 無法表達此意思。

"hole" 作為可數名詞,當指一個具體的洞時,前面通常需要冠詞(a/the)或限定詞(this, that, his)。除非是固定搭配或不可數用法(如 "full of holes"),否則不能單獨使用。
