常見錯誤

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

×He is a science.

He is a scientist.

混淆了學科名稱 'science' 與職業名稱 'scientist'。'Science' 是不可數名詞,指科學領域;'scientist' 是可數名詞,指從事科學工作的人。

×He is a scientist of physics.

He is a physicist. / He is a scientist who studies physics.

雖然語法上可能成立,但用 'scientist of [field]' 來表達特定領域的科學家並不自然。通常會使用更具體的職業名稱(如 physicist, chemist, biologist),或用 'a scientist who studies/researches [field]' 的結構。

×The scientist discovered a new planet last year.

A team of scientists discovered a new planet last year. / The scientist was part of a team that discovered a new planet last year.

重大科學發現通常是團隊合作的結果。雖然單一科學家可以做出發現,但直接使用 'The scientist...' 可能過度簡化或暗示是個人單獨完成,使用複數或提及團隊更為準確和常見。

×My father works as scientist.

My father works as a scientist.

可數名詞 'scientist' 在表示一個(非特指的)職業時,前面需要不定冠詞 'a'。

×He is very good at scientist.

He is very good at science. / He is a very good scientist.

'Be good at' 後面應接學科、技能或活動(如 science, math, experimenting),而不是職業。若要稱讚某人的職業能力,應說 'He is a good scientist.'。
