常見錯誤

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

×I need to buy a new computer keyboard.

I need to buy a new keyboard.

在英文中,'keyboard' 通常就指電腦鍵盤,加上 'computer' 是多餘的,除非需要特別區分(例如與鋼琴鍵盤區分)。

×He is typing on the keyboard of the computer.

He is typing on the keyboard.

英文習慣簡潔表達,'on the keyboard' 已足夠清楚,不需要特別指出 'of the computer'。

×I spilled water on my keyboards.

I spilled water on my keyboard.

通常一個人使用一台電腦的一個鍵盤,應使用單數形式 'keyboard',除非上下文明確指多個鍵盤。

×This is a keyboard for typing.

This is a keyboard.

'keyboard' 的主要功能就是打字,因此 'for typing' 是多餘的說明,除非在特殊情境下強調其用途。

×Can you borrow me your keyboard?

Can I borrow your keyboard?

'borrow' 的正確用法是 'borrow something from someone' 或 'Can I borrow...?'。'borrow me' 是常見的動詞誤用。

×The keyboard's price is expensive.

The keyboard is expensive.

英文中 'price' 可以 'high' 或 'low',但物品本身才是 'expensive' 或 'cheap'。這是形容詞與名詞搭配的常見錯誤。
