常見錯誤

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

×We need to metric the performance.

We need to measure the performance using metrics.

「metric」作為動詞較為罕見且專業,通常用於技術或商業分析語境。學習者常誤將其當作一般「測量」動詞使用。在大多數情況下,應使用「measure」或「quantify」,並搭配「metrics」(名詞)來表達。

×Let's metric the room for the new furniture.

Let's measure the room for the new furniture.

「metric」作為動詞,指的是「用指標/度量標準來評估或量化」,通常用於抽象概念(如績效、進度、效率)。對於具體的物理尺寸測量(如長度、面積),應使用「measure」。

×Our software can help you metric.

Our software can help you metric performance.

動詞「metric」是及物動詞,必須接賓語(即被衡量/評估的對象)。常見錯誤是將其用作不及物動詞。

×They are metricing the outcomes.

They are metricking the outcomes. / They are using metrics to evaluate the outcomes.

動詞「metric」的現在分詞/動名詞形式為「metricking」(重複字尾 c 並加 king),但此形式極其罕見且聽起來不自然。在進行式或需要動名詞的場合,通常會改用「using metrics to evaluate/measure」等更自然的說法。

×Can you metric my happiness?

Can you measure my happiness? / Can you find a metric for happiness?

動詞「metric」帶有強烈的商業、技術或數據分析色彩,屬於專業術語。用於日常或個人情感等軟性主題時會顯得不自然或過於機械化。在非專業語境中,應使用更通用的動詞如「measure」、「assess」或「evaluate」。
