常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Horse"?Which "Horse" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I will horse to the market.
✓I will ride a horse to the market.
「horse」作為動詞時，意思是「為某人提供馬匹」或「開玩笑、胡鬧」，而不是「騎馬」。「騎馬」的正確動詞是「ride」。
×The knight decided to horse.
✓The knight decided to mount his horse.
動詞「horse」是及物動詞，通常需要接受詞（例如：horse someone）。若要表達「上馬」的動作，應使用「mount a horse」或「get on a horse」。
×Yesterday, he horsed me with a pony.
✓Yesterday, he provided me with a pony.
動詞「horse」在現代英語中較為古舊或特定於軍事/歷史上下文，指「提供馬匹」。在日常對話中，使用「provide someone with a horse」或更簡單的「give someone a horse」會更自然。
×Stop horsing!
✓Stop horsing around!
片語動詞「horse around」意思是「胡鬧、嬉戲」，必須與介系詞「around」連用，不能單獨使用「horse」。
×Can you horse me? I need to go faster.
✓Can you lend me a horse? I need to go faster.
動詞「horse」極少用於直接請求提供馬匹的現代口語中。這種用法聽起來非常不自然且古老。應使用更直接的說法，如「lend me a horse」或「give me a horse」。
