page vs call
「page」通常指在公共場所(如機場、醫院)透過廣播系統呼叫特定人士;「call」則泛指一般的電話呼叫或聯絡,範圍更廣。
page vs summon
「page」是透過技術設備(如呼叫器、廣播)發出信號來找人;「summon」則更正式、有權威性,常指官方或上級要求某人前來。
page vs contact
「page」是一種特定的「聯繫」方式,專指透過廣播或呼叫器嘗試找到某人;「contact」是涵蓋所有聯繫方式的通用詞。
在對話中,當引述或轉述他人要求時,常用「page」來表示呼叫某人。 EN: I was just paged by the front desk; they said you're looking for me. 翻譯: 我剛剛被櫃檯呼叫了,他們說你在找我。

×I will page the book.
✓I will turn the page of the book.
將名詞 'page' 誤用作動詞。'page' 作動詞時意為『傳呼、呼叫(某人)』或『(在公共場所)廣播找人』,而非『翻頁』。表達『翻頁』應使用 'turn the page'。
×I paged my friend on her mobile phone.
✓I called my friend on her mobile phone.
混淆 'page' 與 'call'。現代語境中,'page' 特指使用尋呼機(pager)或公共廣播系統呼叫某人,通常暗示對方需要到特定地點或使用其他設備回電。使用手機直接通話應使用 'call'。
×She paged me on the phone.
✓She paged me over the intercom. / She had me paged.
使用錯誤的介系詞或情境。動詞 'page' 通常搭配『透過某種系統』(如 'over the intercom', 'on the pager')或使用被動語態('had someone paged')。直接說『在電話上』呼叫某人通常不正確。
×I paged the website.
✓I refreshed the webpage. / I visited the website.
將網路瀏覽的動作誤用為 'page'。'page' 作動詞不表示『瀏覽網頁』或『重新整理網頁』。應使用 'visit a website', 'load a page', 或 'refresh the page' 等說法。
×He paged through the book page by page.
✓He paged through the book. / He turned the pages of the book one by one.
冗餘表達。'page through' 已隱含『逐頁翻閱』的意思,加上 'page by page' 顯得多餘。若要強調『一頁一頁地』,可使用 'turned the pages one by one'。
