用法說明

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

install + 名詞 vs. install + 名詞 + on/onto/to

  • install + 名詞 通常指安裝某個軟體、應用程式或套件本身。
  • install + 名詞 + on/onto/to 則強調將某物安裝到一個特定的位置、設備或系統上,介系詞後接的是安裝的目標地點。
  • 在科技或工程語境中,install on 用於軟體或虛擬裝置(如電腦、作業系統),而 install ontoinstall to 有時用於實體裝置或特定儲存位置,但 install on 仍是最通用的說法。
  • 被動語態 be installed 後面也常接 on 來表示安裝的位置。

對比範例: EN: Please install the latest security update. 翻譯: 請安裝最新的安全性更新。

EN:Please install the latest security update on all company computers.

翻譯:請將最新的安全性更新安裝到所有公司電腦上。

總結建議

表達「安裝某物」用 install + 名詞,若要明確指出「安裝到某處」則使用 install + 名詞 + on(最常見)或其他適當介系詞。

常見錯誤

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

×I installed the software in my computer.

I installed the software on my computer.

在英文中,軟體是安裝在裝置『上』(on),而不是在裝置『裡面』(in)。使用 'on' 來表示安裝在電腦、手機等設備上。

×They installed a new air conditioner.

They had a new air conditioner installed. / They installed a new air conditioner.

當主詞是『請別人進行安裝』時,應使用被動語態或使役動詞(如 have something installed)來表達。若主詞自己動手安裝,則用主動語態。原句語意模糊,不清楚是誰執行動作。

×The technician is installing the software. It will finish soon.

The technician is installing the software. It will be finished soon. / The installation will be finished soon.

'Install' 是及物動詞,其動作的完成指的是『軟體被安裝完畢』,因此應該使用被動語態 'be finished' 或名詞 'installation' 來指代這個過程的結束,而不是用 'it' 主動『完成』。

×I will install you the new software.

I will install the new software for you.

'Install' 不是雙賓動詞,不能接『間接受詞 + 直接受詞』的結構。必須使用『install something for someone』來表達為某人安裝某物。

×Please install this paper on the wall.

Please put up / attach / mount this paper on the wall.

'Install' 通常用於需要專業技術、設定或使其可運作的物品,如軟體、電器、系統等。對於簡單的『張貼』紙張或海報,應使用 'put up', 'attach', 'stick' 或 'mount' 等動詞。
