用法說明

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

physics 作單數 vs 複數使用

  • physics 作為一門學科或知識領域時,永遠視為單數名詞,動詞用單數形式。
  • 當指涉具體的物理特性或現象(較少見)時,可能會使用複數形式 physics,但動詞仍常用單數。
  • 在一般學術及日常討論中,將其視為不可數的單數名詞是最安全、最常見的用法。 EN: Physics is a fundamental science that explains how the universe works. 翻譯: 物理學是一門解釋宇宙運作方式的基礎科學。

EN:The physics of this new engine are incredibly complex.

翻譯:這款新引擎的物理特性極為複雜。

總結建議

在絕大多數情況下,將「physics」視為單數名詞使用即可。

引述

在對話中,人們有時會引述或提及「物理學」這個學科名稱,尤其是在分享個人經驗或意見時。 EN: I hated physics in high school, but now I find it fascinating. 翻譯: 我高中時很討厭物理,但現在覺得它很有趣。

EN:She said the physics lecture was way over her head.

翻譯:她說那場物理講座完全超出她的理解範圍。

語氣強調

當想強調某件事非常符合或違反物理定律、或形容情況極其基本或複雜時,會用「物理」來加強語氣。 EN: Trying to lift that is just basic physics—you need leverage. 翻譯: 想抬起那個東西只是基礎物理——你需要槓桿。

EN:It's like the physics of the situation just doesn't allow it.

翻譯:這情況的物理層面就是不允許這樣做。

停頓填充

在組織思緒、尋找合適詞語時,有時會用「the physics of it」或「physics-wise」作為短暫的停頓填充,引出後續更詳細的解釋。 EN: The project is challenging, physics-wise, but the design is solid. 翻譯: 這個專案就物理層面來說很有挑戰性,但設計很穩固。

EN:It's more about... the physics of how the materials interact.

翻譯:這更多是關於……材料之間相互作用的物理原理。

正式寫作注意:在學術論文、正式報告或技術文件中,應避免上述口語用法,直接使用精確、標準的學術術語來描述物理概念或原理。

常見錯誤

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

×I have a physics tomorrow.

I have a physics exam tomorrow.

「Physics」是一門學科名稱,不可數,不能直接與不定冠詞「a」連用表示一次考試或課程。需要加上具體的活動,如「exam」、「class」、「lesson」。

×The physics are very difficult.

Physics is very difficult.

「Physics」作為學科名稱時是單數不可數名詞,即使以「s」結尾,動詞也必須使用單數形式「is」。

×I am interesting in physic.

I am interested in physics.

1) 正確的學科名稱是「physics」,不是「physic」(後者為古語或指藥物)。2) 描述人對某事物感興趣時,應使用「interested」,主詞為人;「interesting」用於描述事物本身有趣。

×I want to be a physics in the future.

I want to be a physicist in the future.

「Physics」是學科名稱,不是職業名稱。從事物理學研究或工作的專業人士稱為「physicist」(物理學家)。

×I need to buy a new physics book.

I need to buy a new physics textbook.

雖然「physics book」在口語中可能被理解,但在正式或學術語境中,更精確的說法是「physics textbook」(物理教科書)或「book on physics」(關於物理的書)。「Physics book」可能被誤解為一本關於物理的書,但不一定是教科書。

×My physics teacher teaches us good.

My physics teacher teaches us well.

修飾動詞「teaches」應該使用副詞「well」,而不是形容詞「good」。這是常見的形容詞與副詞混淆錯誤。
