用法說明

park the car vs park in/at
- park the car 強調「停車」這個動作本身，通常指完成停車的瞬間行為。
- park in/at 則強調停車的「地點」或「位置」，後面會接具體的停車場、路邊或設施。
- 當要表達「把車停好」或「找地方停車」的完整動作時，常用 park the car。
- 當討論停車規定、費用或特定位置時，則會使用 park in/at。 EN: I need to park the car before we go shopping. 翻譯: 我們去購物前，我需要先把車停好。
EN:You cannot park in this area after 6 PM.

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Park"?Which "Park" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I parked my car on the street.
✓I parked my car on the street.
雖然句子本身正確，但學習者常誤以為 'park' 只能用於車輛。實際上，'park' 也可用於停放其他交通工具（如自行車、摩托車）或暫時放置大型物品。
×I will park the car at the station.
✓I will park the car at the station.
句子本身正確，但學習者常忽略 'park' 與不同介系詞搭配的細微差別。'Park at' 通常指一個具體地點（如建築物、標誌處），而 'park in' 指一個有邊界的區域（如停車場、車庫）。
×She parks often her car here.
✓She often parks her car here.
在英文中，頻率副詞（如 often, usually, never）通常放在主要動詞之前，但若動詞是 'be' 動詞，則放在其後。'Park' 是普通動詞，因此 'often' 應置於 'parks' 之前。
×Can I park here? (當想詢問長時間或過夜停車時)
✓Can I leave my car parked here overnight?
'Can I park here?' 通常只詢問當下停車的許可，未指明時長。若要詢問長時間停放（如過夜、數天），應明確說明時間，或使用更精確的表達如 'leave the car parked'。
×I parked and went shopping.
✓I parked (the car) and went shopping.
在英文中，及物動詞 'park' 通常需要一個受詞（如 the car, my bike），除非上下文已非常清楚所指為何。省略受詞雖然在口語中可能被理解，但在正式寫作或清晰表達時，建議加上受詞。
