常見錯誤

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

×The company needs to improve its organization.

The company needs to improve its organization. (or 'organizational structure')

當 'organization' 指「組織、機構」這個實體時,是可數名詞。當它指「組織、安排」這個抽象概念或活動時,是不可數名詞。原句語意模糊,可能意指「組織結構」(不可數)或「這個機構」(可數)。根據語境,應明確表達。

×organisation

organization

在美式英語(以及許多其他地區的英語)中,拼寫為 'organization'(使用 'z')。'Organisation' 是英式英語的拼法。學習者應根據學習目標或上下文選擇一致的拼寫方式。

×She is in charge of organization of the event.

She is in charge of the organization of the event.

當 'organization' 後面接 'of' 片語來指定其內容時,通常需要定冠詞 'the',因為它特指某件事的組織工作。

×We need better organization for the team.

We need better organization for the team. (or 'We need to better organize the team.')

名詞 'organization' 常與動詞 'organize' 或動名詞 'organizing' 混淆。原句文法正確,但語意可能不自然。如果想強調「組織團隊」這個動作,使用動詞 'organize' 更直接。如果想強調團隊所需的「組織狀態或結構」,則使用名詞 'organization'。

×Several organization attended the meeting.

Several organizations attended the meeting.

'Organization' 作為可數名詞,指多個機構時必須使用複數形式 'organizations',並與複數動詞一致。
