issue doing vs issue to do
- issue doing 通常用於描述「發行、發布」某個具體的、已存在的物品或文件，強調發行的「動作」或「事實」。
- issue to do 則較為少見，通常出現在較正式的語境中，表示「為了（某個目的）而發行」或「發行（某物）以（做某事）」，強調發行的「目的」或「意圖」。
- 在表示「發行（命令、聲明）」時，通常使用 issue a statement/order 的結構，後面可接 that 子句或 to do 來補充內容。 EN: The government issued a warning about the approaching typhoon. 翻譯: 政府發布了關於颱風逼近的警告。
EN:The company issued a statement to clarify the recent rumors.

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Issue"?Which "Issue" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×The company issued a new policy.
✓The company issued a new policy.
雖然這個句子本身是正確的，但許多學習者會誤以為 'issue' 只能用在正式或官方文件上。實際上，'issue' 作為動詞時，也可用於發行書籍、發布聲明、發放裝備等較廣泛的語境。
×They issued about the problem.
✓They talked/complained/discussed the problem.
'Issue' 作為動詞時，意思是「發布、發行、發給」，後面通常接直接受詞（如文件、物品、命令）。它不能直接當作「討論問題」或「提出問題」的動詞使用。表達「討論問題」應使用 'discuss'、'raise' 或 'talk about'。
×He issued me a new passport.
✓He issued a new passport to me. / A new passport was issued to me.
'Issue' 可以接受雙賓語結構（issue someone something），但這種用法較為正式，且在口語中不如 'issue something to someone' 或被動語態常見。學習者有時會過度使用或錯誤建構雙賓語句型。使用 'issue something to someone' 是更清晰且常見的選擇。
×The teacher issued the homework for us.
✓The teacher assigned/gave out the homework to us.
在學校情境中，老師「布置」或「發放」作業，通常使用 'assign' 或 'hand out/give out'。'Issue' 在這個情境下聽起來過於正式且不自然，通常用於官方機構發行文件、證件或裝備。
×They have issued the new product last week.
✓They issued the new product last week.
'Issue' 作為「發布、發行」的意思時，通常是一個短暫的動作，而非持續的狀態。因此，在談論過去某個具體時間點完成的動作時，應使用簡單過去式，而非現在完成式。現在完成式更強調與現在的關聯性或尚未完成的動作，這與 'issue' 的語意不符。
