常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Route"?Which "Route" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×The manager will root the shipment through Hong Kong.
✓The manager will route the shipment through Hong Kong.
混淆了 'route'（安排路線）和 'root'（根源；為…加油）。'route' 是動詞，表示規劃或引導路徑；'root' 作動詞時通常指支持某隊或尋找根源。
×The army will rout the enemy forces through the valley.
✓The army will route the enemy forces through the valley.
混淆了 'route'（引導…通過某路線）和 'rout'（擊潰，使潰敗）。'rout' 是徹底擊敗的意思，與規劃路徑無關。
×They routed the package across Hong Kong.
✓They routed the package through Hong Kong.
描述「經由某地」時，動詞 'route' 常搭配 'through'（經由某地點）或 'via'（經由某途徑）。用 'across' 強調橫越，不適用於中轉點。
×The traffic routed to avoid the accident.
✓The traffic was routed to avoid the accident.
當主詞是「被」引導或安排的對象時，應使用被動語態（was/were routed）。此處交通是「被」疏導的，需加 be 動詞。
×We need to find a way to route.
✓We need to find a route.
此處想表達的是「找一條路線」，應使用名詞 'route'。動詞 'route' 需要受詞（如 route the traffic）。若無受詞，應改用名詞。
×They will root the bus through the city center.
✓They will route the bus through the city center.
因發音 /ruːt/ 或 /raʊt/ 可能與 'root' 相同，導致拼寫錯誤。此處語意為「安排公車行經路線」，應拼為 'route'。
