用法說明
How is "Particularly" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Particularly"?
particularly + V-ing 與 particularly + to + V 的區別
- particularly + V-ing 通常用於描述一種普遍、經常性的偏好或習慣，強調的是享受某個活動本身。
- particularly + to + V 則更常出現在特定、具體的場合或一次性意願中，尤其是在表達禮貌請求或特定偏好時。
- 在動詞
like,love,hate,prefer等之後，這兩種結構常可互換，但細微語感上仍有上述差別。 - 在
would particularly之後，則必須接to + V，用來表達一種有條件的、假設性的或更禮貌的偏好。 EN: She particularly enjoys reading historical novels in her free time. 翻譯: 她空閒時特別喜歡閱讀歷史小說。
EN:I would particularly like to visit Kyoto during the cherry blossom season.
翻譯:我特別想在櫻花季時造訪京都。
總結建議
一般情況下兩者皆可，但表達具體、一次性或禮貌的意願時，使用 particularly + to + V 更為準確，且在 would 後必須使用 to + V。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Particularly"?Which "Particularly" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He is a particularly person.
✓He is a particular person.
「particularly」是副詞，用來修飾形容詞、動詞或其他副詞，不能直接修飾名詞。修飾名詞時應使用形容詞「particular」。
×It was a particularly good movie.
✓It was a particularly good movie. (This sentence is actually correct. The common mistake is placing 'particularly' incorrectly with adjectives.) A better example of the mistake: 'The movie was good particularly.'
「particularly」修飾形容詞時，通常直接放在該形容詞之前。將它放在句尾或用來修飾整個句子時，含義可能不同。
×This tool was made particularly for cutting metal.
✓This tool was made specially for cutting metal.
表示「為了某個特定目的」時，通常使用「specially」。而「particularly」更強調「與眾不同地、顯著地」或「具體地提到某一部分」。兩者常被混淆。
×The test was very particularly difficult.
✓The test was particularly difficult.
「particularly」本身已含有「非常、格外」的強調意味，通常不再與「very」連用，否則顯得多餘且不自然。
×Particularly, I like the blue one.
✓I particularly like the blue one. / I like the blue one in particular.
「particularly」單獨放在句首並用逗號隔開，聽起來不自然且生硬。它通常緊接在它所強調的詞語之前，或使用「in particular」的片語形式放在句尾。
×I don't like vegetables, particularly not broccoli.
✓I don't like vegetables, particularly broccoli.
在「particularly」後面列出一個具體例子時，通常直接接名詞或名詞片語，不需要再加「not」，否則會造成雙重否定，使意思變得模糊。
