常見錯誤

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

×He walked in to the room.

He walked into the room.

「into」表示進入某個空間的動作或方向,是一個單字介系詞。而「in to」是兩個分開的字,通常「in」是副詞,「to」是不定詞的標記,例如 "He came in to see me."(他進來看我)。

×I will finish the work into tomorrow.

I will finish the work by tomorrow.

「into」不用來表示「在...時間之前」的截止點。表示截止時間應該用「by」。但「into」可以用來表示持續到某段時間的後半部分,例如 "We worked late into the night."(我們工作到深夜)。

×She is into a bad mood.

She is in a bad mood.

表示處於某種狀態或情況時,通常用「in」,而不是「into」。「into」強調的是進入某種狀態的「轉變過程」。

×The cake was divided in three parts.

The cake was divided into three parts.

表示「將...分成...部分」時,動詞如 divide、split、separate、break 等後面固定搭配「into」,表示分割後的結果。

×The car crashed against the wall.

The car crashed into the wall.

表示「撞上、撞進」某物體時,動詞如 crash、bump、run 等常與「into」搭配,強調衝撞並進入或深入接觸的意象。用「against」則僅表示接觸表面,力道較輕。

×I am interesting into classical music.

I am interested in classical music. / I'm into classical music.

表示「對...有興趣」時,有兩種正確說法:1) be interested in + N, 2) be into + N(較口語)。不能混用結構。
