用法說明

shooting at vs. shooting to
- shooting at + 目標 表示朝某個目標或方向射擊，強調動作的指向性，但不一定命中。
- shooting to + 動詞 通常用於表達「為了達成某個目的而射擊」，例如
shooting to kill（意圖射殺）。 - 在描述「練習射擊」時，常用 shooting at 加上目標物，例如

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Shooting"?Which "Shooting" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He was shooting to the target.
✓He was shooting at the target.
使用 "shooting to" 是常見的介系詞錯誤。動詞 "shoot" 在表示「瞄準射擊」時，通常搭配介系詞 "at"，表示動作的方向或目標。
×They are shooting a movie in the park.
✓They are shooting a movie in the park.
此句文法正確，但學習者常誤以為 "shooting" 僅指「用槍射擊」。"Shoot" 作為動詞也有「拍攝（電影、照片）」的意思。此錯誤屬於語義理解不足，而非文法錯誤，但列入常見混淆。
×I saw him shoot the bird. (當意圖為「拍攝」時)
✓I saw him shooting the bird. / I saw him take a picture of the bird.
動詞 "shoot" 的現在分詞 "shooting" 常用來表示「正在進行拍攝」這個持續的動作。使用簡單過去式 "shoot" 在此情境下容易誤解為「用槍射殺」。若上下文不清楚，使用 "take a picture of" 或 "photograph" 會更明確。
×The player is very good at shooting goals.
✓The player is very good at shooting. / The player is very good at scoring goals.
在足球、籃球等運動中，"shoot" 本身已包含「射門」、「投籃」的動作，後面直接接球或籃框等目標（shoot the ball, shoot at the basket）。"Goal"（得分）是射門的結果，通常與動詞 "score" 搭配。應避免 "shooting goals" 這種不自然的搭配。
×The prices have been shooting up quickly last year.
✓The prices shot up quickly last year.
片語 "shoot up" 意指「急速上升」。當有明確的過去時間狀語（如 last year, yesterday）時，應使用過去式 "shot"，而不是現在完成進行式 "have been shooting"，後者強調從過去持續到現在且可能繼續的動作。
