用法說明
How is "Mention" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Mention"?
mention doing vs mention to do
- mention doing 表示「提及做過某事」或「提及正在做某事」，強調提及的內容是一個已發生或正在進行的動作。
- mention to do 並非標準用法。動詞 "mention" 後面不直接接不定詞 (to do) 來表示目的。
- 若要表達「向某人提及去做某事」，應使用 mention to someone that... 或 mention that... 的句型。
- 在口語中，有時會聽到 "I forgot to mention to call her."，但這被視為鬆散或省略的用法（省略了 "you should"），正式寫作中應避免。 EN: She mentioned seeing your brother at the concert. 翻譯: 她提到在演唱會上看到你弟弟了。
EN:He mentioned to me that he plans to resign.
翻譯:他向我提及他打算辭職。
總結建議
在大多數情況下，應使用 "mention doing" 或 "mention that..." 的結構，避免直接使用 "mention to do"。
易混淆對比

「mention」是隨意或簡短地提及，而「state」則是正式、明確地陳述事實或觀點。

引述
在對話中，用來引述他人說過的話或提及過的事，常與「that」連用，但口語中「that」常省略。 EN: So I mentioned to Sarah that the meeting was moved, and she had no idea. 翻譯: 所以我跟 Sarah 提了會議改時間，她完全不知道。
EN:He mentioned wanting to visit Taiwan next year.
翻譯:他提到明年想來台灣玩。
語氣強調
與「don't」或「didn't」連用，以「not to mention...」的結構帶出更重要的附加點，用來加強語氣。 EN: The food was cold, not to mention overpriced. 翻譯: 食物是冷的，更別說還貴得離譜。
EN:She finished the marathon, not even mentioning her injured knee.
翻譯:她跑完了馬拉松，而且完全沒提她膝蓋受傷的事。
停頓填充
在思考或組織想法時，用作填充詞，類似「我說啊…」、「對了…」，以引入一個新話題或點子。 EN: Mention something... what about that new café on the corner? 翻譯: 提個建議… 轉角那家新咖啡廳怎麼樣？
EN:Oh, and I should mention, I might be a few minutes late.
翻譯:喔，對了，我應該提一下，我可能會晚幾分鐘到。
正式寫作注意：在正式書寫（如學術論文、商業報告）中，應避免將「mention」用作填充詞或過於口語化的引述。建議使用更精確的動詞，如「state」、「note」、「refer to」或「observe」。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Mention"?Which "Mention" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He mentioned about the meeting.
✓He mentioned the meeting.
在英文中，'mention' 是及物動詞，後面直接接受詞，不需要加 'about'。'Talk about' 或 'speak about' 才需要 'about'。
×I want to mention you something.
✓I want to mention something to you.
'Mention' 的句型是 'mention + 事物 + to + 人'，而不是 'mention + 人 + 事物'。如果要將人放在前面，可以使用 'tell'。
×He didn't mention where is he going.
✓He didn't mention where he is going.
在 'mention' 後面接名詞子句時，子句的語序應為陳述句語序（主詞 + 動詞），而不是疑問句語序（動詞 + 主詞）。
×As I mentioned before, we need to finish the report.
✓As I mentioned earlier, we need to finish the report.
雖然 'as I mentioned before' 在口語中可能被接受，但在正式或書面英文中，'before' 通常用於指更久遠或非特定時間的過去。在指同一對話或文件中稍早的部分時，使用 'earlier', 'previously' 或 'above' 更為精確。
×He mentioned me in his speech.
✓He mentioned my name in his speech.
'Mention someone' 通常指在談話或文字中簡短地談及某人。但在某些語境下（如在演講中『提及某人』），為了更清晰，可以說 'mention someone's name' 或 'make a mention of someone'。原句文法正確，但語意可能不夠精確，導致誤解。
