用法說明
How is "Lazy" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Lazy"?
lazy doing vs lazy to do
- lazy doing 這種結構在標準英語中並不正確。形容詞 "lazy" 通常不直接接動名詞 (V-ing) 來描述不願意做某事的狀態。
- 若要表達「懶得做某事」或「不願意做某事」，更常見的結構是 too lazy to do 或 feel lazy about doing。
- lazy to do 本身也不是標準搭配。正確的用法是將 "lazy" 與其他詞彙結合，如 "too lazy" 或 "so lazy"，再接不定詞 "to + V"。
- 簡單描述一個人的特質時，直接用 "lazy" 作形容詞，或使用 "be lazy about + (動)名詞" 的結構。 EN: He is too lazy to clean his room. 翻譯: 他懶得打掃自己的房間。
EN:She felt lazy about going to the gym.
翻譯:她對於去健身房感到懶洋洋的。
總結建議
建議使用 "too lazy to + V" 或 "lazy about + (動)名詞" 來表達「懶得做某事」的意思，避免使用 "lazy doing" 或 "lazy to do" 的結構。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Lazy"?Which "Lazy" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He is a lazy person, so he always gets good grades.
✓He is a hardworking person, so he always gets good grades.
邏輯矛盾。'lazy'（懶惰的）通常與負面結果相關，例如成績差或工作未完成。這裡的因果關係不合理。
×I feel very lazy today. I think I have a fever.
✓I feel very lethargic/sluggish today. I think I have a fever.
詞義混淆。'lazy' 主要指缺乏工作的意願或動力，是一種性格或習慣。生病時感到的'無力、倦怠'應用 'lethargic', 'sluggish' 或 'tired'。
×This is a lazy afternoon.
✓This is a leisurely/relaxing afternoon.
搭配錯誤。'lazy' 描述人或動物，不直接用於描述時間段（如下午）。描述令人放鬆、悠閒的時光應用 'leisurely', 'relaxing' 或 'laid-back'。
×She is lazy to do her chores.
✓She is too lazy to do her chores. / She is lazy about doing her chores.
句型錯誤。'lazy' 作為形容詞，不能直接接不定詞 'to do'。正確結構是 'too lazy to do something' 或 'lazy about doing something'。
×The computer is running lazy.
✓The computer is running slowly.
詞性誤用。'lazy' 形容有生命、有意識的主體（人或動物）缺乏行動力。描述機器速度慢應用 'slow' 或 'sluggish'。
×Don't be lazy. You should be more hard.
✓Don't be lazy. You should be more hardworking.
詞性錯誤。'hard' 作形容詞時，主要意思是'堅硬的'或'困難的'。表示'勤奮的'應用 'hardworking', 'diligent', 或 'industrious'。
