常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Scream"?Which "Scream" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I screamed him to stop.
✓I screamed at him to stop.
當「scream」表示對某人喊叫時，需要介系詞「at」來連接對象，不能直接接受詞。
×He screamed in pain.
✓He screamed in pain.
此句文法正確，但學習者常誤用「scream」與「shout」或「yell」。"Scream" 通常用於表達強烈情緒（恐懼、痛苦、興奮）的高亢、尖銳叫聲；"shout" 或 "yell" 則更常指為了讓人聽見或表達憤怒而提高音量。
×She screamed out loud.
✓She screamed.
"Scream" 本身已包含「大聲」的含義，加上 "out loud" 或 "loudly" 通常是多餘的，除非要特別強調音量。在大多數語境中，單用 "scream" 即可。
×I heard a scream voice.
✓I heard a scream. / I heard a screaming voice.
"Scream" 作為名詞時，指的是「尖叫聲」本身，不能直接修飾另一個名詞（如 voice）。若要形容聲音，應使用動名詞 "screaming" 作為形容詞，或直接使用名詞 "scream"。
×The headline screamed about the scandal.
✓The headline screamed about the scandal.
此句文法正確，但學習者可能不理解 "scream" 的比喻用法。在非正式或新聞語境中，"scream" 可比喻標題、顏色等「非常醒目、引人注目」。這是一個常見的延伸用法，並非錯誤。
