常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Refresh"?Which "Refresh" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×I need to refresh my mind.

×I refreshed the computer.

I restarted the computer. / I refreshed the webpage.

「refresh」在科技用語中主要指「重新整理」網頁或數據,而非「重新啟動」電腦或設備。重啟電腦應使用「restart」或「reboot」。

「refresh」是動詞,不能直接當形容詞使用。形容「令人精神振奮的、清爽的」事物,應使用其形容詞形式「refreshing」。

×I refreshed myself with a new idea.

I refreshed myself with a nap. / The new idea refreshed our approach.

「refresh oneself」的受詞通常是能讓身體或精神恢復活力的事物(如飲料、休息),而非抽象概念(如想法)。抽象概念可作為主詞,如「The idea refreshed me」。

Can you refresh my memory about the details?

「refresh」作為及物動詞,常見搭配是「refresh someone's memory」,意為「喚起某人的記憶」。不能直接以「refresh someone」表示此意。
