scene vs scenery
「scene」指具體的場景或事件片段;「scenery」指廣闊的風景或舞台佈景。
scene vs view
「scene」強調包含活動或事件的情景;「view」強調從特定地點看到的視野或景色。
scene vs sight
「scene」指精心構成的場景或情景;「sight」指看到的東西,尤指值得注意的景象或視力所及。
在轉述對話或描述某個情境時,常用 "scene" 來指涉那個具體的畫面或事件。 EN: He made a big scene at the restaurant when they got his order wrong. 翻譯: 餐廳搞錯他的訂單時,他當場大鬧了一場。
EN:I walked in on a really awkward scene between them.
翻譯:我走進去時,正好撞見他們之間一個超尷尬的場面。
與 "whole" 或 "entire" 連用,強調情況的規模、戲劇性或荒謬性。 EN: The whole scene at the airport was chaotic because of the delay. 翻譯: 因為延誤,機場整個場面一團混亂。
EN:She created an entire scene just because I was five minutes late.
翻譯:我只是遲到五分鐘,她就搞出這麼一整齣戲。
在思考或組織語言時,有時會用 "scene" 作為填充詞,帶出接下來要描述的具體情況。 EN: So, the scene is... we're all waiting, and then the power goes out. 翻譯: 所以,當時的情況是...我們都在等,然後突然停電了。
EN:Okay, picture this scene: it's midnight, and we're still lost in the mountains.
翻譯:好吧,想像一下這個畫面:半夜了,我們還在山上迷路。
正式寫作注意:上述口語用法,特別是「停頓填充」的用法,在正式報告、學術論文或商業文件中應避免使用。在正式文體中,應使用更精確的詞彙,如 "situation", "incident", 或 "atmosphere" 來替代。

×The scene of the mountains is breathtaking.

「scene」通常指具體的景色、景象或事件發生的地點,而「scenery」指一個地區總體的自然風景。描述廣闊的自然風光時,應使用「scenery」。
×The Great Wall is a famous scene in China.
✓The Great Wall is a famous sight in China.
「scene」不適用於指著名的地標或旅遊景點。表示「名勝、景點」應使用「sight」或「attraction」。
×He made scene in the restaurant.
✓He made a scene in the restaurant.
固定片語「make a scene」意為「大吵大鬧、當眾出醜」,其中的不定冠詞「a」不可省略。
×Police quickly arrived to the scene of the crime.
✓Police quickly arrived at the scene of the crime.
表示「到達某個地點」時,動詞「arrive」後應接介系詞「at」或「in」,而非「to」。「at the scene」是固定搭配。
×There are many beautiful scenes along the coast.
✓There is a lot of beautiful scenery along the coast. / There are many beautiful views along the coast.
雖然「scene」作為可數名詞可以指「景色」,但描述連綿不斷的整體海岸風光時,使用不可數的「scenery」或可數的「view」更為自然。原句文法正確但用法不自然。
×The documentary shows what happens behind the scenes.
✓The documentary shows what happens behind the scenes.
此為拼寫/形式錯誤。片語「behind the scenes」中的「scenes」必須是複數形式,且通常不帶連字號。當用作形容詞時(如 a behind-the-scenes look),才需要加上連字號。原句正確,此處示範常見的拼寫混淆。
