常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Queen"?Which "Queen" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×She queened the chess piece.
✓She promoted her pawn to a queen.
在西洋棋中，動詞不是 'queen'，而是 'promote to a queen'。'Queen' 作動詞時，通常指『成為女王』或『像女王一樣行事』，而非在棋盤上『變成皇后棋子』。
×They will queen her next month.
✓She will be crowned queen next month.
表示『加冕為女王』的正確動詞是 'crown' 或短語 'be crowned queen'。'Queen' 作動詞時，極少用於描述加冕儀式本身，而是更常用於描述『像女王一樣統治或行事』。
×She queened over the meeting confidently.
✓She presided over the meeting like a queen. / She reigned over the meeting confidently.
'Queen' 作動詞時，通常與 'over' 連用表示『統治』（如統治一個王國），或用於 'queen it over someone' 表示『對某人擺出女王架子』。用於會議等場合時，'preside over' 或 'reign over'（比喻用法）更為自然。
×He queened the throne after his father.
✓He succeeded to the throne after his father. / She became queen after her father.
動詞 'queen' 的主語通常是女性（成為女王）。男性繼位成為國王應用 'succeed to the throne' 或 'become king'。此錯誤涉及性別與動詞搭配不當。
×The company queened the market for years.
✓The company dominated the market for years.
雖然 'queen' 作動詞有『佔據首要地位』的比喻用法，但在商業或市場情境中，'dominate', 'lead', 或 'rule' 是更常見且自然的選擇。'Queen' 在此處聽起來不自然且過於詩意。
