常見錯誤

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

×They mine for golds in the mountains.

They mine for gold in the mountains.

作為動詞的 'mine' 意思是「開採」,其後接不可數名詞(如 gold, coal)或可數名詞複數(如 diamonds)。'Golds' 是錯誤形式,'gold' 作為金屬是不可數名詞。

×The old tunnel is dangerous because they used to mine.

The old tunnel is dangerous because they used to mine there. / The old tunnel is dangerous because it is a former mine.

動詞 'mine' 作為及物動詞時需要賓語(開採什麼),作為不及物動詞時常與地點副詞連用(在哪裡開採)。原句語意不清,應補充地點或改用名詞形式。

×This book is mine. I mined it from the library.

This book is mine. I borrowed it from the library.

學生可能混淆動詞 'mine'(開採)與所有格代名詞 'mine'(我的)。所有格代名詞 'mine' 表示所屬關係,不能用作動詞表示「取得」。

×They have been mining for years and they mined a lot of coals.

They have been mining for years and they have mined a lot of coal.

描述從過去持續到現在並有現時結果的動作,應使用現在完成式 'have mined',而非一般過去式 'mined'。同時,'coal' 是不可數名詞,不應加 's'。

×Gold mines in this valley.

Gold is mined in this valley.

原句缺少動詞,結構不完整。當強調動作本身而非執行者時,應使用被動語態 'is mined' 來表達「黃金在此山谷被開採」。

×They are mining a hole to plant a tree.

They are digging a hole to plant a tree.

'Mine' 專指為了取得有價值的礦物或資源而進行的「開採、採礦」。一般為了種樹、建造等目的而「挖洞、挖掘」應使用 'dig'。
