用法說明

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

match + noun vs match + with + noun

  • match + noun 通常表示「與...相配/相稱」,直接將兩個事物進行比較,強調結果的合適性。
  • match + with + noun 則更強調「與...搭配」的動作或過程,常用於嘗試組合或尋找合適的配對。
  • 在描述抽象特質(如熱情、技能)相符時,兩種結構常可互換,但 match 更為簡潔。
  • 在涉及具體物品(如襪子、顏料)需要「配對」或「調和」時,match with 可能更清楚地表達「主動去搭配」的意圖。 EN: Your skills match the job requirements perfectly. 翻譯: 你的技能完全符合這份工作的要求。
