常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Player"?Which "Player" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He is a good basketball player.
✓He is a good basketball player.
雖然這個句子本身是正確的，但學習者常誤以為 'player' 是不可數名詞而省略冠詞。'Player' 是可數名詞，指單一個人時必須使用冠詞 'a' 或 'the'。
×He is a video game player.
✓He is a gamer.
'Player' 通常指體育運動或團隊比賽的參與者。對於電子遊戲的玩家，更自然且常見的說法是 'gamer'。'Video game player' 聽起來不自然且冗長。
×The team player's performance was excellent.
✓The team player's performance was excellent. / The performance of the team player was excellent.
這個句子文法正確，但學習者常誤用所有格。當名詞本身已包含另一個名詞（如 'team player'）時，使用所有格 's 可能會顯得笨拙。在正式寫作中，使用 'of' 結構（如第二個正確例句）通常更流暢。口語中兩者皆可。
×He is a football.
✓He is a football player.
學習者有時在談論某人的職業或角色時，會省略核心名詞 'player'，只說運動名稱。必須完整說出 'football player', 'basketball player' 等。
×Three player are on the field.
✓Three players are on the field.
'Player' 的複數形式是規則變化，直接加 's' 變成 'players'。當主語是複數時，動詞必須使用複數形式 'are'，而非 'is' 或單數動詞。
×The Olympic player won a gold medal.
✓The Olympic athlete won a gold medal.
'Player' 通常用於有明確對手、團隊或規則的遊戲或運動（如足球、棋類、音樂演奏）。對於奧運會等綜合性體育賽事的參與者，更廣泛且準確的用詞是 'athlete'。'Olympic player' 聽起來不自然。
