用法說明
How is "Kick" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Kick"?
kick doing vs kick to do
- kick doing 通常用來描述享受或習慣於某個持續的活動或狀態，強調的是進行該活動本身的樂趣或習慣性。
- kick to do 則常用於表達在特定情況下想做某事，特別是與
would連用時，表示一個具體的意願或提議。 - 在美式英語中，兩者有時可以互換，但細微差別在於：
kick doing偏向一般性的喜好；kick to do偏向一次性的、具體的意圖。
對比例句： EN: I really kick playing soccer after work; it helps me relax. 翻譯: 我真的很喜歡下班後踢足球，這能幫助我放鬆。
EN:I would kick to play a game of soccer this afternoon if you're free.

總結建議
一般情況下，描述長期或習慣性的愛好用 kick doing，而表達具體一次性的意願或提議時，則用 kick to do（常與 would 連用）。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Kick"?Which "Kick" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He kicked the ball to the goal.
✓He kicked the ball into the goal.
使用 'into' 表示動作的方向是進入某個空間或範圍內，而 'to' 僅表示朝向某個方向或位置。
×I kicked him out from the room.
✓I kicked him out of the room.
片語動詞 'kick out' 表示驅逐，其後固定搭配介系詞 'of' 來指出被驅逐的地點，而非 'from'。
×He kicked the door angrily.
✓He kicked the door in anger.
雖然副詞 'angrily' 在文法上正確，但母語者更常使用介系詞片語 'in anger' 來描述因憤怒而做出的踢擊動作，使表達更自然、更具體。使用 'angrily' 亦可，但較不常見於此語境。
×The baby is kicking his legs happy.
✓The baby is kicking his legs happily.
描述動作的方式或狀態時，應使用副詞 'happily' 來修飾動詞 'is kicking'，而非形容詞 'happy'。形容詞用於修飾名詞。
×I kicked at the dog to scare it.
✓I kicked towards the dog to scare it. / I made a kicking motion at the dog to scare it.
'Kick at' 通常表示試圖踢但可能沒踢中，或帶有攻擊意圖。若只是想嚇唬而非實際接觸，使用 'kick towards' 或 'make a kicking motion at' 更能準確表達意圖，避免誤解為虐待動物。
×This spicy food really kicks.
✓This spicy food really has a kick. / This spicy food really kicks.
口語中，'kick' 作為名詞（has a kick）常指食物或飲料的強烈味道或效果。作為動詞（kicks）在非常口語的用法中也可接受，但較不正式。初學者常遺漏冠詞 'a' 或誤用動詞形式。此處提供兩種常見正確說法。
