用法說明
How is "Loan" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Loan"?
loan vs. lend
loan在美式英語中常作為動詞使用，意思與lend相同，指「借出（錢或物品）」。lend是更通用、更傳統的動詞形式，在英式英語和正式文體中更受青睞。- 在英式英語或一些正式寫作中，有人偏好將
loan僅用作名詞（指借出的款項或物品），而動詞只用lend。 - 在美式英語的日常用法中，
loan和lend作為動詞常可互換，但lend仍用於一些固定片語，如lend a hand（幫忙）。
對比範例： EN: The bank agreed to loan him the money for his new car. 翻譯: 銀行同意貸款給他買新車。
EN:Could you lend me your pen for a moment?
翻譯:你能把筆借我用一下嗎？
總結建議
在書寫時，若想避免爭議，可遵循「loan 作名詞，lend 作動詞」的傳統區分，但在理解美式英文時需知兩者動詞用法常互通。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Loan"?Which "Loan" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×Can you borrow me some money?
✓Can you loan me some money?
混淆 'loan' 與 'borrow'。'Loan' 是借出（給予），'borrow' 是借入（取得）。主詞是借出者時用 'loan'，主詞是借入者時用 'borrow'。
×I need to loan from the bank.
✓I need to get a loan from the bank. / I need to borrow money from the bank.
將名詞 'loan' 誤用作動詞來表達「取得貸款」。動詞 'loan' 的主詞是貸方（銀行），不是借方（你）。表達「我借入」應用 'get a loan' 或 'borrow'。
×The company loaned him $10,000 for his business.
✓The company loaned him $10,000 for his business. (Acceptable) / The company loaned $10,000 to him for his business.
動詞 'loan' 可接兩個受詞：'loan someone something'（直接受詞為物）或 'loan something to someone'。第一種用法更常見於口語，兩者皆正確，但學習者常不熟悉雙受詞結構或誤用介係詞。
×The agreement states that the lender shall loan the funds upon signing.
✓The agreement states that the lender shall lend the funds upon signing.
在非常正式或法律文件中，'lend' 比 'loan' 更常被用作動詞。'Loan' 作動詞在一般情況和商業環境中完全正確，但在某些嚴謹文體中，偏好使用 'lend' 作為動詞，'loan' 保留為名詞。學習者可能在不適當的正式程度下使用 'loan'（動詞）。
×Yesterday, the bank loaned me the money I needed.
✓Yesterday, the bank loaned me the money I needed.
動詞 'loan' 的過去式及過去分詞為規則變化 'loaned'。學習者有時會誤以為是不規則動詞，而錯誤拼寫為 'lent'（這是 'lend' 的過去式）。
