停頓填充
在非正式對話中，pound 有時會與 away 或 on 等副詞/介系詞連用，作為一個簡短的語塊，描述持續、單調的動作，句子結構通常較為鬆散。

翻譯:你要是繼續那樣猛敲那扇門，會把它敲壞的。
正式寫作注意：上述口語用法，特別是「停頓填充」中描述的鬆散結構以及用於誇張情緒的用法，在正式報告或學術寫作中應避免使用。建議改用更精確、中性的詞彙，如 strike repeatedly、throb intensely 或 walk exhaustively。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Pound"?Which "Pound" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I will pound the meat into a pound.
✓I will pound the meat into a paste.
混淆動詞 'pound'（搗碎）與名詞 'pound'（磅、英鎊）。此處應使用表示質地或狀態的名詞（如 paste、powder），而非重量單位。
×He pounded on the door angrily.
✓He pounded the door angrily.
動詞 'pound' 本身已包含「重擊」的動作，直接接賓語（如 the door）即可，加上 'on' 雖常見但非必要，在正式或簡潔寫作中可省略。
×Yesterday, he pounded the steak for dinner.
✓Yesterday, he pounded the steak for dinner.
動詞 'pound' 為規則動詞，過去式與過去分詞為 'pounded'。學習者有時誤以為它是不規則動詞（如 find/found）。
×My heart was pounding before the speech.
✓My heart was pounding before the speech.
此句正確。常見錯誤是學習者誤以為 'pound' 必須有直接賓語，但當描述心跳、頭痛等生理現象時，它可作不及物動詞。
×Please pound the hashtag in your post.
✓Please include the pound sign (hashtag) in your post.
將動詞 'pound'（搗碎）與名詞 'pound sign'（# 符號）混淆。'pound sign' 是符號名稱，不應作為動詞使用。
