用法說明

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

sheet (verb) vs. sheet (noun)

  • sheet (動詞) 主要用於航海或帆船運動,指「將帆腳索(sheet)拉緊或放鬆以調整船帆角度」的動作。這是一個非常具體的技術性動詞。
  • sheet (名詞) 則有數個常見意思,如「床單」、「一張紙」或「一片(薄層物體)」。
  • 在一般非航海語境中,將 sheet 用作動詞可能會令人困惑,因為聽者預期的是名詞含義。
  • 動詞用法通常需要搭配特定受詞(如 the mainsail sheet)或與副詞連用(如 sheet in, sheet out),以明確其動作含義。

對比例句: EN: The crew needs to sheet in the jib as we turn into the wind. 翻譯: 當我們轉向迎風時,船員需要收緊前帆帆腳索。

EN:Please put a clean sheet on the bed before the guests arrive.

翻譯:請在客人到達前鋪一張乾淨的床單在床上。
