用法說明
How is "Muscle" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Muscle"?
muscle one's way in/through vs. muscle into/through
- muscle one's way in/through 是一個完整的動詞片語，強調「用蠻力擠/推出一條路」的具體動作。
- muscle into/through 則是一個「動詞 + 介系詞」的組合，後面直接接名詞（地點、人群、障礙），語法上更為簡潔。
- 兩者意思非常接近，常可互換，但 muscle one's way 更生動地描繪了「開路」的過程。
- 在正式寫作中，muscle one's way 是更為常見和標準的用法。 EN: He muscled his way through the dense crowd to reach the front. 翻譯: 他用力擠過密集的人群，才到達了前面。
EN:He muscled through the dense crowd to reach the front.
翻譯:他強行穿過密集的人群，才到達了前面。
