- rich with + 名詞 則較為文學化或比喻性，強調「充滿某種氛圍、情感或豐富的狀態」，常用於描述抽象概念或感官體驗。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Rich"?Which "Rich" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He is a rich man. He has many rich experiences.
✓He is a rich man. He has many valuable / extensive experiences.
在英文中，'rich' 主要形容財富或味道濃郁，不直接用來形容經驗。形容經驗豐富應使用 'valuable', 'extensive', 'diverse' 或 'rewarding'。
×This area is rich of natural resources.
✓This area is rich in natural resources.
形容『富含某物』時，固定搭配的介系詞是 'in'，而不是 'of'。
×She became rich after she won the lottery.
✓She became rich after winning the lottery.
雖然 'after she won' 文法上正確，但在 'after' 後面接動名詞 (V-ing) 是更簡潔自然的表達方式，特別是在描述連續動作時。原句略顯冗長。
×I want to buy a rich car.
✓I want to buy a luxury / expensive car.
'Rich' 用於形容人、國家或組織擁有大量財富，不用於直接修飾物品。形容物品昂貴、奢華應使用 'luxury', 'expensive', 'high-end' 等詞。
×The cake is too rich, I can't eat it all.
✓The cake is very rich, so I can't eat it all.
形容食物風味『濃郁』或『油膩』時，'rich' 是中性或褒義詞。使用 'too rich' 帶有強烈的負面評價（過於油膩以致令人不適）。若只是想表達『因為很濃郁所以吃不多』，使用 'very rich' 更為恰當。
