常見錯誤

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

×I will safe the file before closing.

I will save the file before closing.

混淆了 'safe'(形容詞,安全的)和 'save'(動詞,保存)。'safe' 作為動詞極其罕見(主要用於體育術語,如『安全上壘』),在一般情況下表示『保存』應使用 'save'。

×He safed the child from the fire.

He saved the child from the fire.

試圖將形容詞 'safe' 當作及物動詞使用,意為『使安全』或『拯救』。正確的動詞是 'save'(拯救)或 'make safe'(使安全)。'Safe' 在現代英語中幾乎不作為表示此類動作的動詞使用。

×Please safe your password.

Please keep your password safe. / Please safeguard your password.

誤用 'safe' 作為動詞表示『保護』或『確保安全』。正確的說法是使用動詞短語 'keep safe' 或更正式的動詞 'safeguard'、'protect'。

×The new policy safes us a lot of trouble.

The new policy saves us a lot of trouble.

再次混淆 'safe' 與 'save'。'Save' 作為動詞有『節省、避免』的意思,而 'safe' 沒有此動詞用法。

×I need to safe money for my trip.

I need to save money for my trip.

在表示『存錢』時,動詞是 'save'(積蓄、儲蓄)。'Safe' 是形容詞,不能表達這個動作。
