用法說明

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

ring vs. ring up

  • ring 作為動詞,最核心的意思是「(使)發出鈴聲、鐘聲或類似清脆的聲音」。
  • ring up 是一個常見的片語動詞,主要用於英式英語,意思是「打電話給某人」,與 callcall up 同義。在美式英語中,call 更為普遍。
  • 在談論「打電話」時,ring 單獨使用(不接 up)在英式英語中也是可以接受的,但 ring up 的用法更強調「撥號並接通」的動作。
  • ring up 在商業環境中還有另一個完全不同的意思:「用收銀機記錄銷售額」,此時不能省略 up

對比例句: EN: The church bells ring every hour. 翻譯: 教堂的鐘聲每小時都會響起。

EN:I'll ring you up tomorrow to discuss the details.

翻譯:我明天會打電話給你討論細節。

EN:Please ring the bell for service.

翻譯:需要服務請按鈴。

EN:She rang up the total on the cash register.

翻譯:她在收銀機上結算了總金額。

總結建議

在表示「打電話」時,使用 ring up(英式)或 call(通用)可以避免歧義,而單獨的 ring 則更常指物體發出聲響。

描述從過去持續到現在的動作(鈴聲響了五分鐘),應使用現在完成進行式,而非現在簡單式。

×I rang the doorbell, but nobody opened.

I rang the doorbell, but nobody answered.
