用法說明

method of doing vs method to do

  • method of doing 強調的是「做某事所採用的特定方式或程序」,結構較為固定,通常指一個已確立或系統化的過程。
  • method to do 則更偏向於「為了達成某個目的或結果而使用的方法」,語意上與「手段」或「途徑」更為接近,有時會與 for doing 互換。
  • 在許多情況下,兩者可以互換使用,但 method of 後接動名詞 (doing) 是更傳統、更常見的用法。
  • method 前面有形容詞(如 best, easiest, effective)修飾時,後面較常使用不定詞 (to do)。 EN: She developed a new method of teaching languages. 翻譯: 她開發了一種新的語言教學方法。

EN:We need to find a more efficient method to process these applications.

翻譯:我們需要找到一個更有效率的方法來處理這些申請。

常見錯誤

×This is a good method to solve problems.

「method」後面通常接「for + V-ing」或「of + V-ing」來表示「做某事的方法」,較少直接接「to + 動詞原形」。

×We need to find a method how we can improve efficiency.

We need to find a method to improve efficiency. / We need to find a method of improving efficiency.

「method」後面不直接接「how」子句。應使用不定詞「to + V」或「of + V-ing」來表達方法的目的或內容。

×His method of work is very effective.

His working method is very effective. / His method of working is very effective.

雖然「method of work」文法上可接受,但在自然英文中,「working method」或「method of working」更為常見和流暢。

中文思維「所有方法都不行」直譯成「all didn't work」不符合英文慣用法。應使用「none of them worked」或「but they all failed」。
