「label」指透過標籤進行分類或描述;「name」則是指定一個專屬的名稱來稱呼某人或某物。

常見錯誤

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

×I labeled the box as fragile.

I labeled the box fragile.

使用 "label" 時,通常直接接上標籤內容(如形容詞或名詞片語),而不需要 "as"。"Label something as something" 雖然文法上可接受,但在日常描述貼上實體標籤時較不自然。

×He is labeling the diagram.

He is labeling the parts of the diagram.

"Label" 作為動詞時,通常需要一個明確的「標的物」(如 parts, items, boxes)和「標籤內容」。單說 "label the diagram" 語意不清,應說明是為圖表的哪些部分貼上標籤或註記。

×They labeled him lazy.

They labeled him as lazy.

當 "label" 用於比喻意義,指「將某人歸類或描述為…」時,通常會使用 "label someone/something as something" 的結構,此時 "as" 常被使用,尤其是在較正式的指控或分類情境中。這與貼實體標籤的用法不同。

×Can you help me to label these?

Can you help me label these?

在動詞 "help" 之後,接另一個動詞時,可以省略 "to"(不定詞的 to)。"Help someone (to) do something" 兩種形式都正確,但省略 "to" 在口語和非正式文體中更為常見。

×I need a label to stick on the folder.

I need to label the folder.

學習者有時會混淆名詞 "a label"(一張標籤)和動詞 "to label"(貼標籤、做標記)的用法。想表達「為某物貼標籤」這個動作時,應使用動詞 "label",而不是說需要一張標籤來貼。
