passionate vs enthusiastic

「passionate」強調強烈、深刻的情感與投入,常與愛情、信念或強烈愛好相關;「enthusiastic」則指對某事感到興奮、熱心,但情感強度通常較低,更偏向於積極的興趣與支持。

passionate vs emotional

「passionate」專指對特定事物(如興趣、信念、人)懷有強烈、積極的熱情與渴望;「emotional」則泛指容易產生或表現出各種情緒(如快樂、悲傷、憤怒)的狀態,範圍更廣且不一定正面。

passionate vs ardent

兩者都表示強烈的熱情,但「passionate」更常用於口語,涵蓋範圍從愛情到興趣;「ardent」較為書面,常形容對信念、事業或願望的忠誠與熾熱奉獻,帶有更堅定、持久的意味。

常見錯誤

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

「passionate」是形容詞,不能直接當成名詞使用。正確用法是「be passionate about + 名詞」或「have a passion for + 名詞」。

×He is passionate to learn new languages.

He is passionate about learning new languages.

「passionate」後面通常接「about + 名詞/動名詞」,而不是「to + 動詞原形」。這是形容詞搭配的常見錯誤。

×She spoke passionate about the issue.

She spoke passionately about the issue.

修飾動詞「spoke」應該使用副詞「passionately」,而不是形容詞「passionate」。形容詞用於描述名詞或與 be 動詞連用。

×He is passionate with photography.

He is passionate about photography.

「passionate」固定搭配的介系詞是「about」,表示「對...有熱情」。使用「with」是錯誤的。

「passionate」表示非常強烈、深刻的情感或投入,通常用於對重要事物、理想或長期興趣。用於日常習慣或普通喜好可能顯得不自然或誇張。

修飾「passionate」這類形容詞的程度副詞(如 very)應放在形容詞之前。這是英文形容詞片語的標準詞序。
