用法說明
How is "Ice" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Ice"?
ice over vs ice up
- ice over 通常指一個表面（如道路、湖泊）被一層連續的冰完全覆蓋，強調「覆蓋」的狀態與結果。
- ice up 則更常指某個物體或機械部件（如機翼、管道、線路）因結冰而堵塞、凍結或功能受損，強調「阻塞」或「故障」的過程。
- 兩者有時可互換，但細微差別在於 ice over 偏向描述視覺上的覆蓋，而 ice up 偏向描述功能上的阻礙。 EN: The lake iced over completely during the cold snap. 翻譯: 寒流期間，湖面完全結冰了。
EN:The car's windshield wipers iced up and became useless.
翻譯:汽車的雨刷結冰卡住，完全不能用了。
總結建議
描述平面被冰覆蓋用 ice over，描述器械部件因結冰而故障則用 ice up。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Ice"?Which "Ice" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I need to ice before the party.
✓I need to ice the drinks before the party.
作為及物動詞，'ice' 需要一個直接受詞（通常是飲料或蛋糕）。不能單獨使用。
×I will ice the meat to preserve it.
✓I will freeze the meat to preserve it.
'ice' 通常指短時間的冷卻或冰鎮（如飲料、蛋糕），使其變涼。長時間冷凍保存食物應用 'freeze'。
×The road was iced by the government.
✓The road was icy. / The road was covered in ice.
被動語態 'be iced' 不常用來描述道路結冰的自然狀態。應使用形容詞 'icy' 或片語 'be covered in ice'。'Ice' 作動詞的主動用法可指人為覆蓋冰層（如冰鎮蛋糕），但不用於描述天氣造成的路面結冰。
×The lake iced up last night.
✓The lake iced over last night.
描述水面（如湖泊、池塘）結冰覆蓋，固定片語是 'ice over'，而不是 'ice up'。'Ice up' 通常指機器或表面因冰而堵塞或覆蓋（如 The wings of the plane iced up）。
×I stood in front of the fan to ice myself.
✓I stood in front of the fan to cool down.
'ice' 作動詞不直接用於描述使人體降溫。應用 'cool (down/off)'。'Ice' 用於物體，且通常涉及冰塊或極度冷卻。
