常見錯誤

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

×The car is driving on the wide lane.

The car is driving on the wide road.

混淆 'lane' 與 'road'。'Lane' 通常指道路中劃分出的單一車道,較窄且為道路的一部分;'road' 指整條道路,範圍較廣。描述整條寬闊的道路時應用 'road'。

×We walked along a beautiful lane in the forest.

We walked along a beautiful path in the forest.

混淆 'lane' 與 'path'。'Lane' 通常指可供車輛行駛的車道或小巷,而森林、公園中供人行走的小徑應用 'path' 或 'trail'。

×Stay in lane when driving on the highway.

Stay in your lane when driving on the highway.

使用 'lane' 表示特定所屬的車道時,常需搭配所有格(如 your, the right-hand)或冠詞(如 a, the)來指明。單獨使用 'in lane' 不自然。

×The swimming competition has eight lane.

The swimming competition has eight lanes.

當表示多個並列的車道、泳道或跑道時,'lane' 為可數名詞,需使用複數形式。

×They live in a quiet lane behind the shops.

混淆 'lane' 與 'alley'。'Lane' 可指鄉間小路或城市中有名稱的小巷(如 Penny Lane),而建築物後方或之間狹窄的通道、後巷通常用 'alley'。此處描述商店後方安靜的通道,用 'alley' 更準確。
