常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Naturally"?Which "Naturally" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×She has a naturally talent for music.
✓She has a natural talent for music.
在名詞（如 talent）前面應該使用形容詞 'natural' 來修飾，而不是副詞 'naturally'。副詞通常修飾動詞、形容詞或其他副詞。
×Naturally she speaks English.
✓She speaks English naturally.
當 'naturally' 用來描述「以自然的方式」做某事時，通常放在主要動詞（speaks）之後或句尾。放在句首時，'Naturally' 通常表示「當然、不用說」，語意不同。
×The flowers grow naturally in nature.
✓The flowers grow naturally.
'naturally' 已經包含了「在自然界中」或「天生地」的意思，後面再加上 'in nature' 會顯得多餘（redundant）。
×Naturally, can I use your phone?
✓Of course, can I use your phone?
句首的 'Naturally' 表示「理所當然地、不用說」，用於陳述一個已知或預期的結果，不用於提出請求或問題。提出請求時想表達「當然」的許可語氣，應使用 'Of course'。
×He is naturally a good person.
✓He is a naturally good person. / He is naturally good.
當 'naturally' 修飾後面的形容詞（good）時，通常直接放在該形容詞前面。如果放在 be 動詞後面、名詞片語前面，可能會聽起來不自然或改變強調重點。
