用法說明
How is "Skip" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Skip"?
skip doing vs skip to do
- skip doing something 是最常見的用法，表示「跳過、省略、不做」某個活動或步驟。這裡的
doing是動名詞，指那個被省略的動作本身。 - skip to do something 在標準用法中極其罕見，通常不正確。它可能會被誤解為「為了做某事而跳躍」，而非「省略」。
- 有時在非正式或特定語境中，可能會看到 skip to + 地點/章節，意思是「跳到」某處，例如
skip to the end（跳到結尾）。但後面接動詞原形 (to do) 則不自然。 EN: I usually skip eating breakfast when I'm late. 翻譯: 我遲到的時候通常會跳過不吃早餐。
EN:He decided to skip reviewing the last chapter to save time.
翻譯:為了節省時間，他決定跳過複習最後一章。
總結建議
在表達「跳過不做某事」時，請統一使用 skip doing something 的結構。
