常見錯誤

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

×We had a big row about money yesterday.

We had a big argument about money yesterday.

混淆名詞與動詞的用法。'row' 作動詞時意為「划船」或「爭吵」,但作名詞時(尤其英式英語)常指「爭吵」。學習者常誤將名詞用法當動詞使用,或在不適合的語境下使用。表達「爭吵」時,動詞 'argue' 或 'quarrel' 更通用。

×He rows every morning for exercise.

He rows a boat every morning for exercise.

動詞 'row' 作為及物動詞時,通常需要接賓語(如 a boat, a canoe)。若上下文未明確指出划船的對象,直接使用 'row' 可能語意不清。在口語中,若語境清楚(如在船上或健身房),可省略賓語,但初學者建議明確指出。

×We rowed to the island for two hours.

We rowed to the island in two hours.

誤用時間介系詞。表達「花費多少時間到達」應用 'in + 時間段',表示完成動作所需的時間長度。使用 'for + 時間段' 則表示持續進行該動作的總時長,語意不同。

×He has rowed the boat yesterday.

He rowed the boat yesterday.

時態錯誤。'yesterday' 是明確的過去時間點,應使用簡單過去式,而非現在完成式。現在完成式不能與明確的過去時間副詞連用。

×Please raw the boat closer.

Please row the boat closer.

拼寫與發音混淆。'row'(划船)與 'raw'(生的)發音不同。'row' 發音為 /roʊ/,而 'raw' 發音為 /rɔː/。學習者可能因發音不準確導致拼寫錯誤。

×I will row my car into the parking space.

I will back my car into the parking space.

過度延伸詞義。'row' 僅指用槳划船,不能用於描述操作車輛。駕駛車輛進入停車位應使用 'back (up)', 'park', 或 'maneuver'。
