用法說明

How is "Loop" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Loop"?

loop doing vs loop to do

  • loop doing 通常用於描述一個持續、重複進行的動作或過程,強調動作的連續性和循環性。
  • loop to do 則常用於表示為了達到某個特定目的或結果而進行的循環,或是在條件句、未來意圖中描述一個假設或計畫的循環動作。
  • 在描述習慣性或一般性重複時,兩者有時可互換,但細微差別在於 doing 強調過程本身,to do 可能暗示每次循環的意圖或目的。 EN: The video keeps looping playing the same five-second clip. 翻譯: 影片不斷循環播放同樣的五秒片段。

EN:We need to loop to check for new data every few minutes.

翻譯:我們需要每隔幾分鐘循環檢查一次新數據。

總結建議

在描述純粹、自動的重複過程時,使用 loop doing;若循環帶有目的性或屬於計畫的一部分,則使用 loop to do

常見錯誤

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

×Loop the rope around the tree.

Loop the rope around the tree.

雖然句子本身正確,但學習者常誤以為 'loop' 只能描述「形成一個圓圈」的靜態結果,而忽略其「環繞、纏繞」的動態過程含義。應強調 'loop' 作為動詞時,描述的是「使某物形成環狀並固定」的動作。

×The program will loop for three times.

The program will loop three times.

在表示「重複/循環多少次」時,'loop' 作為不及物動詞,後面直接接次數(如 three times),不需要介系詞 'for'。這是受中文「循環『進行』三次」結構影響的常見錯誤。

×He looped the belt into his pants.

He threaded the belt through the loops of his pants.

學習者常將「穿皮帶」這個動作誤用為 'loop'。'Loop' 作為動詞主要指「使成環」或「環繞」,而「將皮帶穿過褲耳」的正確動詞是 'thread'。此為搭配錯誤 (collocation error)。

×The road is looping the mountain.

The road loops around the mountain.

描述道路「環繞」山體時,'loop' 作為不及物動詞,常需與 'around' 搭配,以明確環繞的路徑與方向。單獨使用 'loop' 會使意思不完整。

×We need to loop back to the office later.

We need to loop back to the office later.

句子本身正確,但學習者常不理解 'loop back' 這個片語動詞的特定含義(指「繞回原處」或「返回討論某個話題」),而誤以為是簡單的「回去」。需強調其「完成一個循環後返回起點」的意象。

×She made a loop with the wire.

She formed a loop with the wire.

雖然 'make a loop' 口語中可接受,但在描述精確或技術性的「形成一個環」的動作時,更地道、準確的動詞是 'form', 'create', 或 'bend into'。'Make' 在此處略顯籠統。
