用法說明

How is "Select" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Select"?

select doing vs select to do

  • select doing 這種結構在標準英語中極其罕見,通常被視為不正確。動詞 "select" 後面不直接接動名詞 (V-ing) 來表示選擇做某事的動作。
  • select to do 是正確的結構,表示「選擇去做某事」。"select" 後面接不定詞 (to + V) 來表達所做的選擇內容或目的。
  • 在表達選擇做某事時,更常見且自然的動詞是 "choose" (choose to do)。"select" 在語意上更強調從多個選項中挑出一個,而非表達意願或決定。 EN: The committee will select three candidates to interview next week. 翻譯: 委員會將選擇三位候選人於下週進行面試。

EN:He selected to major in computer science.

翻譯:他選擇主修電腦科學。

總結建議

在表達「選擇去做某事」時,應使用 "select to do" 的結構,或在口語及一般書寫中優先考慮使用更自然的 "choose to do"。

EN:The one I'd select—wait, no, maybe the other one is better.
