用法說明
How is "Note" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Note"?
note doing vs note to do
- note doing 通常用於描述「注意到某人或某物正在進行某個動作」的當下情景，強調動作的進行性。
- note to do 則表示「注意到有某事需要被做」，強調的是「需要完成」的義務或任務本身，而非動作的進行。
- 在正式或書面報告中，
note that...的結構比note doing/to do更為常見，用於明確指出一個事實或觀察結果。 EN: Did you note the manager reviewing the contract just now? 翻譯: 你剛才注意到經理在審閱合約嗎？
EN:Please note to review the contract before the meeting.
翻譯:請注意在會議前要審閱合約。
總結建議
在描述觀察到的進行中動作時使用「note doing」，而在提醒有待完成的任務時則使用「note to do」。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Note"?Which "Note" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I noted down the meeting time on my mind.
✓I made a mental note of the meeting time.
「note down」通常指用筆或電子設備「記下、寫下」，而「記在腦中」的正確說法是「make a mental note of」。
×Please note that you should arrive early.
✓Please note that you should arrive early.
此處錯誤在於誤解「note」的用法。學習者常誤以為「note」在此是名詞而寫成「Please take a note that...」，但「Please note that...」是固定表達，意為「請注意...」，其中「note」是動詞。
×The report notes about the recent market trends.
✓The report notes the recent market trends.
動詞「note」是及物動詞，後面直接接受詞，不需要介系詞「about」。加入「about」是多餘且錯誤的。
×I will note you when I have the information.
✓I will notify you when I have the information. / I will drop you a note when I have the information.
動詞「note」不直接以人作受詞來表示「通知某人」。正確說法是「notify someone」或「inform someone」。若想使用「note」，可以說「drop someone a note」（非正式地寫個訊息）。
×It is important to note down the differences.
✓It is important to note the differences.
「note」本身已有「注意、留意、指出」的意思。雖然「note down」強調「記錄」，但在表達「注意到、指出」某個事實或差異時，單用「note」即可。「note down」在此語境下顯得多餘且不自然。
