setup vs. set up

  • setup 通常作為名詞使用,指「安排、配置、組織結構」或「陷害」。
  • set up 則是動詞片語,指「建立、設立、安排、準備」的動作。
  • 在正式寫作中,區分名詞(一個詞)和動詞(兩個詞)的拼寫是標準用法。
  • 口語和非正式書寫中,界限有時較模糊,但保持區分有助於清晰表達。

對比例句: EN: The software setup was very complicated. 翻譯: 這個軟體的安裝設定非常複雜。

EN:It took me an hour to set up the new software.

翻譯:我花了一個小時才把新軟體安裝設定好。

總結建議

易混淆對比

「setup」作為動詞時,正確的拼寫是兩個分開的單字「set up」。單字「setup」是名詞或形容詞。

×He has setup the computer yesterday.

He set up the computer yesterday.

動詞片語「set up」的過去式是「set up」,不是「setup」或「setted up」。過去分詞也是「set up」。

×The set up of the experiment took three hours.

The setup of the experiment took three hours.

當意指「安裝、設置、安排」這個「行為或過程」本身時,應使用名詞「setup」(一個單字)。使用分開的「set up」會使其聽起來像動詞,造成語法錯誤。

×Can you set up it before noon?

Can you set it up before noon?

「set up」是可分開的動詞片語。當受詞是代名詞(如 it, them)時,必須放在「set」和「up」中間。

×We followed the set up instructions.

We followed the setup instructions.

修飾名詞(如 instructions)時,應使用形容詞形式的「setup」(一個單字),意為「安裝用的、設定的」。
