常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Ram"?Which "Ram" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I need to ram more memory into my computer.
✓I need to add more RAM to my computer.
混淆動詞 'ram'（用力推、撞）與名詞 'RAM'（隨機存取記憶體）。當指電腦硬體時，應使用名詞 'RAM'（常大寫），而非動詞 'ram'。
×He rammed the box the truck.
✓He rammed the box into the truck.
動詞 'ram' 表示用力推入或塞入時，通常需搭配介系詞 'into' 來指明方向或目的地。
×Yesterday, he rammed the car against the wall.
✓Yesterday, he rammed the car into the wall.
此處錯誤在於搭配詞，而非時態。'ram' 的過去式與過去分詞為規則變化 'rammed'。但與 'against' 連用時，語意偏向「撞擊」表面；與 'into' 連用則強調「衝入」或「塞入」的動作。根據語意選擇正確介系詞。
×He rammed with full force.
✓He rammed the door with full force.
及物動詞 'ram' 通常需要一個直接受詞來指明被撞擊或推入的對象。句子中缺少受詞會使語意不完整。
×The two cars rammed together on the highway.
✓The two cars crashed into each other on the highway.
'ram' 通常暗示一個物體主動、蓄意或用力地撞擊另一個物體。描述兩個移動物體意外相撞時，更自然的用詞是 'crash (into each other)' 或 'collide'。'ram together' 不是常見搭配。
