用法說明
How is "Involved" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Involved"?
involved in doing vs involved to do
- involved in doing 表示「參與、從事某項活動或過程」，強調的是狀態或正在進行的行為。
- involved to do 並非標準英語搭配，通常不正確。表達「為了做某事而參與」時，會使用其他結構，如
involved in order to do或involved in the process of doing。 - 當
involved表示「複雜的、難懂的」時，後面通常接and連接的形容詞或名詞，或用involved with表示與複雜事物的關聯。 - 在正式或書面語中，
get/become involved in doing強調從未參與到開始參與的轉變。 EN: She is actively involved in planning the community event. 翻譯: 她積極參與籌劃社區活動。
EN:The instructions were so involved that we needed help to understand them.
翻譯:說明書太過複雜，我們需要幫助才能理解。
總結建議

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Involved"?Which "Involved" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He is very involve in the project.
✓He is very involved in the project.
當 'involved' 作為形容詞使用時，必須使用其形容詞形式（通常為過去分詞），而不是動詞原形。這裡描述的是狀態，不是動作。
×He is involved with the planning of the event.
✓He is involved in the planning of the event.
描述參與某項活動、計畫或過程時，通常使用 'involved in'。'involved with' 多用於指與某人有關聯或牽涉（常帶有情感或複雜關係），或用於指涉某個組織或團體。
×It's an involved process very.
✓It's a very involved process.
作為形容詞時，'involved' 通常放在名詞之前或動詞之後。程度副詞（如 very, deeply, heavily）應置於形容詞 'involved' 之前，修飾它。
×The math problem is involved, so many students are working on it. (試圖表達『被涉及』)
✓The math problem is complicated/complex, so many students are working on it.
形容詞 'involved' 的一個主要意思是『複雜的、難懂的』。如果想表達『有許多人參與』，應使用其他詞語如 'many people are involved in...'。上句想用 'involved' 表達『被涉及』是錯誤的，會讓句意變成『數學題很複雜』。
×He plays involved role in team.
✓He plays an involved role in the team.
當 'involved' 作為形容詞修飾單數可數名詞（如 role, process, part）時，前面必須有冠詞（a/an/the）。同時，'team' 作為特定指涉時也常需要冠詞。
