proud of doing vs proud to do
- proud of doing 通常用於描述對已經完成或正在進行的某項成就、行為或身分感到自豪，強調的是「成果」或「狀態」。
- proud to do 則常用於表達對有機會做某事或被賦予某種身分/責任感到光榮與自豪，強調的是「機會」或「意願」，常與 be、feel 等動詞連用。
- 在許多情況下，兩者可以互換，但細微差別在於 of doing 更具體指向行為本身，而 to do 更偏向於表達一種榮譽感或意願。 EN: She is proud of winning the championship after years of training. 翻譯: 她為經過多年訓練後贏得冠軍而感到自豪。
EN:She is proud to represent her country in the international competition.

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Proud"?Which "Proud" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I am proud for my son.
✓I am proud of my son.
「proud」的正確介系詞是「of」，而不是「for」。使用「proud of + 人/事物」來表示對某人或某事感到驕傲。
×He is a proud man. (想表達他為某事感到驕傲)
✓He is proud of his work.
「a proud man」通常描述一個人的性格特質是「高傲的、自尊心強的」，而不是描述他「對某事感到驕傲」的暫時性情感。要表達後者，應使用「be proud of + 原因」。
×I feel so proud to you.
✓I am so proud of you.
表達「為你感到驕傲」的固定說法是「proud of you」。使用「feel proud」時，後面也必須接「of」，而不是「to」。
×She is proud about her new car.
✓She is proud of her new car.
雖然「about」可以與某些情感形容詞連用（如 excited about, happy about），但「proud」的固定搭配是「of」，而不是「about」。
×They did a proud job.
✓They did an excellent job, and we are proud of them.
「Proud」是描述人的情感狀態的形容詞，通常不用來直接修飾「job」、「work」等事物。應分開表達：某事做得很好（excellent/ great job），而人對此感到驕傲（proud of）。
×I'm proud to be studied at that university.
✓I'm proud to have studied at that university.
在「proud to + verb」的結構中，動詞形式取決於時間。描述過去的經歷或成就時，應使用完成式（to have + past participle），而不是被動式或簡單式。
