用法說明
How is "Resolve" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Resolve"?
resolve to do vs resolve doing
- resolve to do 是最常見的結構，表示「下定決心要做某事」，強調做出決定的那一刻和未來的意圖。
- resolve doing 在現代標準英語中極少使用，聽起來不自然。它可能被誤解為「解決正在做某事」。
- 在正式或文學語境中，可能會見到 resolve on doing，意思與 resolve to do 相近，但較為少用。
- 被動語態 be resolved to do 也常用，強調一種堅定的、持續的決心狀態。
對比例句： EN: After the failure, she resolved to work harder. 翻譯: 失敗之後，她決心要更加努力。
EN:The team is resolved to win the championship this year.
翻譯:團隊決心今年要贏得冠軍。

表達「決心做某事」時，請統一使用 resolve to do 這個結構。
易混淆對比

「resolve」強調透過討論或決定來處理問題或衝突，使其終結；「solve」則專注於找到問題的正確答案或解決方案。
resolve vs decide
「resolve」強調下定決心並承諾採取行動，語氣更強烈；「decide」則是一般性的做出選擇或決定。
resolve vs settle
「resolve」著重於徹底解決問題的根本；「settle」則強調達成協議或使情況穩定下來，有時帶有妥協意味。
口語用法

引述
在口語中，當引述或轉述一個決定、協議或結論時，常用「resolve to」或「resolve that」來開頭，語氣比「decide」更正式、更有決心。 EN: So after the meeting, we resolved to start the project next Monday. 翻譯: 所以會議之後，我們決定下週一就開始這個專案。
EN:She resolved that she wouldn't let the criticism affect her work.
翻譯:她下定決心不讓那些批評影響她的工作。
語氣強調
在對話中，用「resolve」來強調一個經過深思熟慮、堅定不移的決定，常與「finally」、「firmly」等副詞連用，以加強語氣。 EN: I've finally resolved to quit smoking for good this time. 翻譯: 我這次終於下定決心要徹底戒菸了。
EN:They firmly resolved to stand by their original plan despite the objections.
翻譯:儘管有反對意見，他們堅決決定堅持原計劃。
停頓填充
在較正式的對話或討論中，說話者可能用「as we resolved earlier...」或「the matter is resolved」作為停頓或過渡，以重提共識或確認狀態。 EN: So, as we resolved earlier, the budget will be allocated to marketing first. 翻譯: 那麼，就像我們之前決定的，預算會先分配給行銷部門。
EN:Okay, that issue is resolved. Now let's move on to the next topic.
翻譯:好的，那個問題已經解決了。現在我們來討論下一個話題。
正式書寫注意：在非常正式或法律文件中，「resolve」常以名詞形式出現（如「a resolution」），或用在被動語態中（如「it was resolved that...」）。口語中直接主動的「we resolved to...」在正式書寫中可能顯得略為口語化，可視情況調整為更書面的表達。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Resolve"?Which "Resolve" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×We need to resolve this math problem.
✓We need to solve this math problem.
"Resolve" is typically used for disagreements, doubts, or complex situations requiring a decision or settlement. "Solve" is used for finding answers to problems, puzzles, or equations.
×I resolved to go to the party tomorrow.
✓I decided to go to the party tomorrow.
"Resolve" implies a firm, determined decision, often after serious thought or in the face of difficulty. For ordinary, less weighty decisions, "decide" is more natural.
×They resolved on the issue after a long discussion.
✓They resolved the issue after a long discussion.
"Resolve" as a transitive verb meaning "to find a solution to" is followed directly by the object (the problem/issue). "Resolve on" is a less common phrasal verb meaning "to decide on (a course of action)".
×His strong resolve helped him to resolve the conflict.
✓His strong resolve helped him to resolve the conflict. (This sentence is actually correct. The mistake is in not recognizing the noun form.)
Learners sometimes miss that "resolve" can also be a noun meaning "determination." The example sentence is correct, showing both the noun and verb forms. A common error is using the verb where the noun is needed, e.g., "He showed great resolve" (correct) vs. "He showed great resolve to do it" (potentially awkward).
×The matter was resolved by them quickly.
✓They resolved the matter quickly.
While grammatically correct, the passive voice ("was resolved") is often less direct and can sound awkward or vague. The active voice ("They resolved") is usually clearer and more natural in English, especially when the agent ("they") is known.
×He resolved that he will study harder.
✓He resolved to study harder.
When "resolve" means "to make a firm decision," it is typically followed by an infinitive ("to + verb") or a noun. Using a "that" clause ("resolve that...") is grammatically possible but much less common and can sound formal or stilted.
