用法說明

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

join in doing vs join to do

  • join in doing 強調參與一個正在進行或已確定的活動。介系詞 "in" 後面接動名詞 (V-ing)。
  • join to do 強調為了某個目的或目標而加入,帶有「以便去做某事」的意圖。"to" 是不定詞符號,後面接原形動詞。
  • 在表示「參與某項活動」時,join in (doing something) 是最常見且自然的用法。
  • 使用 join to do 時,通常前面會有一個明確的「目的」,或與 "in order" 等詞連用,語氣較為正式。 EN: Everyone was dancing, so I decided to join in dancing. 翻譯: 大家當時都在跳舞,所以我決定加入一起跳。

EN:She joined the committee to help organize the event.

翻譯:她加入委員會是為了協助籌辦活動。

總結建議

一般情況下,表示「參與某活動」使用 join in doing;若強調「為了某個目的而加入」則使用 join to do

易混淆對比

What is the difference between "Join" and similar words?How to choose "Join" vs alternatives?

join vs attend

「join」強調成為團體或組織的成員,而「attend」僅表示出席或參加某個活動或場合,不涉及成員資格。

join vs connect

「join」常用於人或組織的結合,而「connect」更側重於事物在物理或抽象層面的連結。

join vs participate

「join」側重於進入或成為一份子,而「participate」強調在活動中積極投入和貢獻。

口語用法

引述

在轉述他人邀請或建議時,常用「join」來間接表達。 EN: He was like, "Why don't you join us for dinner?" 翻譯: 他就說:「你幹嘛不跟我們一起吃晚飯?」

EN:She asked if I wanted to join the study group.

翻譯:她問我要不要加入讀書會。

語氣強調

在口語中,常與「just」、「really」、「actually」等副詞連用,以加強或軟化語氣。 EN: You should just join the party later, it's fine. 翻譯: 你晚點再來參加派對就好,沒關係的。

EN:I actually joined the club last week, but I haven't gone yet.

翻譯:我其實上週就加入那個社團了,但還沒去過。

停頓填充

在思考或組織句子時,會用「join...」作為暫時的停頓點,後面再接上具體細節。 EN: So, if you join... uh, the team meeting tomorrow, we can discuss it. 翻譯: 所以,如果你參加...呃,明天的團隊會議,我們就可以討論。

EN:We're planning to join... you know, that hiking trip next month.

翻譯:我們計劃要參加...你知道的,下個月那個登山行程。

正式寫作注意:在正式書寫(如報告、論文、商業郵件)中,應避免使用上述口語結構。建議使用更完整、明確的句式,例如 "participate in"、"become a member of" 或 "attend",並避免使用引述口語或填充停頓。

常見錯誤

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

×I will join in the club.

I will join the club.

使用 'join' 表示成為組織或團體的成員時,不需要加 'in'。'Join in' 用於表示參與正在進行的活動。

×He joined with the army.

He joined the army.

表示加入軍隊、組織或團體時,'join' 是及物動詞,直接接受詞,不需要 'with'。'Join with' 用於表示與某人聯合或結合。

×I want to join to the meeting.

I want to join the meeting.

'Join' 表示參與會議、對話或活動時,是及物動詞,直接加受詞,不需要 'to'。'Join to' 用於將兩件東西物理連接在一起。

×I joined the party last night.

I went to the party last night. / I attended the party last night.

'Join' 通常不用於表示單純「參加」或「出席」一次性社交活動(如派對、音樂會)。它更常用於表示成為團體成員或參與正在進行的活動。表示出席活動常用 'attend', 'go to', 或 'take part in'。

×Let's join together to celebrate.

Let's join to celebrate.

'Join' 本身已包含「結合在一起」的意思,因此 'join together' 中的 'together' 通常是多餘的,除非特別強調「團結」的動作。在大多數情況下,單用 'join' 即可。
