用法說明

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

master doing vs master to do

  • master doing 強調「精通做某事的過程或技能本身」。這個結構將「doing」視為一個需要掌握的整體活動或領域。
  • master to do 在標準英語中幾乎不使用,聽起來不自然。想表達「為了...而精通某技能」時,通常會用其他結構,如「master (something) in order to...」。
  • 動詞 master 通常直接接受詞(名詞或動名詞),表示掌握該事物,例如 "master a language", "master swimming"。
  • 在表達「學會做某事」時,更常見的說法是 learn to dobecome proficient at doing,而非 "master to do"。 EN: She hopes to master playing the violin within five years. 翻譯: 她希望能在五年內精通拉小提琴。

EN:He needs to master the software to complete the project efficiently.

翻譯:他需要精通這個軟體,才能有效率地完成專案。

總結建議

對於動詞 "master",應使用 master + 名詞master + doing 的結構,避免使用 "master to do"。

易混淆對比

What is the difference between "Master" and similar words?How to choose "Master" vs alternatives?

「master」側重於精通技能或克服困難,達到隨心所欲的境界;「control」則強調對人、事物或情況的直接管理、指揮或限制。

口語用法

引述

在口語中,有時會用「master」來引述或模仿某人(尤其是權威人物)的說話,帶有戲謔或諷刺的語氣。 EN: He was like, "You must master this skill by Friday," and we all just laughed. 翻譯: 他就說:「你必須在週五前掌握這項技能。」我們聽了都笑了。

EN:She always says, "Master your emotions," but she's the first one to get angry.

翻譯:她總是說:「要掌控你的情緒。」但她自己卻是第一個生氣的。

語氣強調

在非正式對話中,會用「master」來強調某人對某事的精通或掌控程度,常帶有讚嘆或誇張的意味。 EN: Dude, you've totally mastered this game! How many hours did you put in? 翻譯: 老兄,你完全精通這遊戲了耶!你花了多少時間啊?

EN:I need to master this recipe before the dinner party. It has to be perfect.

翻譯:我在晚餐派對前非得把這道菜的做法練到完美不可。一定要成功。

停頓填充

在思考或組織語言時,有時會將「master」作為一個填充詞,與「you know」、「like」等類似,後面再接上真正想表達的內容。 EN: The goal is to, master, you know, become really efficient at this process. 翻譯: 目標是,那個,掌握,你知道的,讓這個流程變得很有效率。

EN:It's all about trying to master—well, not completely control, but understand—the market trends.

正式寫作注意:以上口語用法(尤其是「引述」和「停頓填充」)帶有強烈的非正式、對話色彩。在學術論文、商業報告或正式書信中,應避免這樣使用「master」。在正式文體中,「master」應直接、明確地用於描述精通技能、掌控局面或完成某項任務。

常見錯誤

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

動詞 "master" 後面接動名詞 (gerund),而非不定詞 (to-infinitive),表示掌握某項技能或活動。

×I will master this skill after one week.

I will master this skill in one week.

表示「在…時間內」掌握技能,應使用介系詞 "in",而非 "after"。"after" 用於某個時間點之後,而 "in" 表示完成所需的時間長度。

×I am mastering English.

I am working on mastering English.

"master" 作為掌握技能的動詞,通常不用進行式 (continuous tense),因為它描述的是一個完成的狀態或成就。若要表達正在努力的過程,需使用其他動詞如 "working on" 或 "trying to"。

×I mastered about the history of Rome.

I mastered the history of Rome.

動詞 "master" 是及物動詞,後面直接接受詞 (知識、技能等),不需要介系詞 "about"。

He is a master at cooking. / He has mastered cooking.

名詞 "master" 表示「大師、專家」時,常用搭配是 "a master at (doing) something" 或 "a master of (a field)"。直接說 "master of cooking" 較不自然,通常用 "master at" 或改用動詞 "has mastered" 表達。
