常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Physical"?Which "Physical" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I have a physics exam tomorrow.
✓I have a physical exam tomorrow.
混淆了 'physical'（身體的、物理的）與 'physics'（物理學）。'Physical exam' 指健康檢查，而 'physics exam' 指物理學科的考試。
×He is very physical strong.
✓He is very physically strong.
形容詞 'physical' 不能修飾另一個形容詞 'strong'。應該使用副詞 'physically' 來修飾形容詞，表示「在身體上」。
×We need a physical meet to discuss this.
✓We need a physical meeting to discuss this.
'Physical' 是形容詞，不能直接當成名詞使用。這裡應該使用名詞 'meeting'，並用 'physical' 修飾它，表示「面對面的會議」。
×The pain is more mental than physical.
✓The pain is more mental than physical.
原句文法正確，但學習者常誤解 'physical' 在此對比句中的含義。'Physical' 在這裡指「身體上的、肉體的」，與 'mental'（心理的、精神的）相對。需注意其對比用法。
×I prefer physical books than e-books.
✓I prefer physical books to e-books.
使用 'prefer A to B' 的固定搭配來表示「喜歡 A 勝於 B」。不能用 'than'。'Physical books' 在此指「實體書」。
