用法說明

How is "Photograph" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Photograph"?

photograph doing vs photograph to do

  • photograph doing 通常用於描述「拍攝到某人或某物正在進行某個動作的瞬間」,強調捕捉到動作的進行狀態。
  • photograph to do 則較為少見,通常出現在特定上下文中,例如「為了(某個目的)而拍攝」或「安排/計畫去拍攝」。
  • 在描述「拍攝到某個場景或動作」時,使用 photograph doing 是更自然、更常見的選擇。 EN: The journalist managed to photograph the birds nesting in the cliff. 翻譯: 記者成功拍攝到鳥兒在懸崖上築巢的畫面。

EN:The team set up a hide to photograph the rare birds to document their behavior.

翻譯:團隊設置了隱蔽處,以便拍攝那些稀有鳥類,記錄牠們的行為。

photograph vs capture

「photograph」指具體的拍照動作;「capture」則更強調「捕捉」到某個瞬間、氛圍或本質,帶有文學或藝術色彩。

常見錯誤

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

×I will make a photograph of the sunset.

I will take a photograph of the sunset.

在英文中,動詞「photograph」或片語「take a photograph」才是「拍照」的正確說法。「make a photograph」聽起來不自然,通常指實際沖洗或製作相片的過程,而非按下快門的動作。

×He loves to photograph.

He loves to photograph landscapes. / He loves photography.

動詞「photograph」是及物動詞,通常需要一個受詞(拍什麼)。如果沒有特定對象,應使用名詞「photography」來泛指攝影這項活動或愛好。

×I like to take photografs.

I like to take photographs.

名詞「photograph」的正確拼寫結尾是「-ph」,發音為 /f/。結尾拼成「-f」是常見的拼字錯誤。動詞形式同樣是「photograph」。

×Yesterday I photograph the new building.

Yesterday I photographed the new building.

動詞「photograph」的過去式及過去分詞為規則變化「photographed」。使用現在式「photograph」來描述過去發生的事情是時態錯誤。

×The room was photographed by beautiful decorations.

The room was photographed with beautiful decorations. / The room, with its beautiful decorations, was photographed.

使用「by」表示動作執行者(攝影師)。若要描述照片中的內容或伴隨物,應使用介系詞「with」。此錯誤可能源於受中文「用...拍攝」結構的影響。

×Please send me the photographed you took.

Please send me the photograph(s) you took. / Please send me the photo(s) you took.

「Photographed」是動詞的過去分詞,不能當成名詞使用。名詞應使用「photograph」或其縮寫「photo」。在較正式的書寫中,通常使用「photograph」,而「photo」則用於口語或非正式場合。
