用法說明
How is "See" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "See"?
see + 人/物 + doing vs see + 人/物 + do
- see + 人/物 + doing 強調「看見正在進行中的動作片段」，通常指動作正在發生或進行了一部分。
- see + 人/物 + do 強調「看見動作的完整過程」，從開始到結束，或是一種經常性的觀察。
- 在感官動詞（如 see, hear, watch）後，使用 do（不帶 to 的不定詞）表示完整的經驗，而 doing（現在分詞）則表示進行中的片段。
- 被動語態中（如 He was seen...），後面必須接帶 to 的不定詞（to do）。
對比例句： EN: I saw him crossing the street. 翻譯: 我看見他正在過馬路（強調看見他走在路上的那一刻）。
EN:I saw him cross the street.
翻譯:我看見他過了馬路（強調看見他從一邊走到另一邊的完整過程）。
EN:She was seen to enter the building at 9 PM.
翻譯:有人看見她在晚上九點進入那棟建築（被動語態，必須用 to enter）。
總結建議
表達「看見完整過程」用 see + 人/物 + do，強調「看見正在進行的瞬間」則用 see + 人/物 + doing，而在被動語態中務必改用 be seen to do 的形式。
