常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Market"?Which "Market" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×They market their products to the customers.
✓They market their products to customers.
在英文中，泛指「顧客」時通常使用 "customers" 而不加定冠詞 "the"，除非特指某群特定的顧客。
×We need to market for our new service.
✓We need to market our new service.
"market" 作為及物動詞時，後面直接接受詞（產品或服務），不需要介系詞 "for"。
×She is good at marketing.
✓She is good at marketing products. / She is good at marketing.
單獨使用 "marketing" 作為動名詞是正確的，意指「行銷工作或活動」。但學習者有時誤以為必須接受詞，或反之，在需要明確指出行銷對象時遺漏受詞。原句本身文法正確，但常被誤用於應具體說明的情境。此處修正為提供更常見、完整的用法說明。
×They marketed the product successful.
✓They marketed the product successfully.
修飾動詞 "marketed" 應該使用副詞 "successfully"，而非形容詞 "successful"。
×This product is difficult to market it.
✓This product is difficult to market.
在 "adjective + to + verb" 結構中，動詞 "to market" 的受詞已經是句首的 "This product"，因此句尾不應再重複代名詞 "it"。
×We should market in Asia.
✓We should market our products in Asia. / We should enter the Asian market.
"market" 作為及物動詞時，必須有受詞（推銷什麼）。如果想表達進入某個市場，應使用 "enter the ... market" 或類似說法。
