用法說明

How is "Replace" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Replace"?

replace doing vs replace with doing

  • replace doing 這個結構本身並不正確。動詞 "replace" 後面不直接接動名詞 (V-ing) 來表示「取代做某事」的動作。
  • 正確的結構是 replace A with B,表示「用 B 來取代 A」。當 B 是一個動作或行為時,會使用動名詞 (V-ing) 形式,即 replace A with doing
  • 另一個常見錯誤是 replace to do,這同樣是不正確的。"replace" 後面不接不定詞 (to V) 來表示目的或將來的取代動作。
  • 若要表達「取代某人去做某事」,應使用 replace someone in doing something 或更自然的說法 take someone's place to do something,而非 replace someone to do something。 EN: We replaced the old software with using a cloud-based system. 翻譯: 我們改用雲端系統,取代了舊軟體。

EN:She will replace me in presenting the report next week.

翻譯:下週她將取代我進行報告。

總結建議

使用 "replace A with B" 結構,當 B 是動作時使用動名詞 (with doing),避免使用 "replace doing" 或 "replace to do"。

常見錯誤

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

×I replaced sugar with honey.

I substituted honey for sugar.

「replace A with B」表示用 B 取代 A,而「substitute A for B」表示用 A 取代 B。雖然兩者意思相近,但介系詞結構不同,容易混淆。在表達「用蜂蜜代替糖」時,若想強調「用蜂蜜作為糖的替代品」,使用「substitute」更為精確。

×I will use a pen replace a pencil.

I will use a pen instead of a pencil.

「replace」是動詞,不能直接當作連接詞或介系詞使用。表達「代替」時,應使用「instead of」作為介系詞片語。

×The new system will replace for the old one.

The new system will replace the old one.

「replace」是及物動詞,後面直接接受詞,不需要加介系詞「for」。常見錯誤是受「substitute for」或「take the place of」的結構影響。

×I need to replace my clothes before the party.

I need to change my clothes before the party.

「replace」意指「用新的替換舊的」,而「change」可以指「更換成另一套(不一定是新的)」。此處想表達的是「換衣服」,並非用新衣服替換舊衣服,因此應使用「change」。

×The battery needs replaced.

The battery needs to be replaced.

在表達「某物需要被更換」時,應使用「need to be + 過去分詞」的被動結構。常見錯誤是直接將「replace」當作形容詞使用,或省略了「to be」。

×Could you replace my coffee?

Could you refill my coffee?

「replace」通常指用一個新的、完整的物品替換舊的或壞掉的。而為杯子「添加」更多咖啡或飲料,應使用「refill」。
