用法說明
How is "Slip" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Slip"?
slip doing vs slip to do
- slip doing 通常用於描述一個已經發生或正在發生的、不經意的動作或疏忽，強調的是「做了」某件（通常是粗心的）事。
- slip to do 則較為少見，若使用則可能暗示一個「即將發生」或「有機會發生」的疏忽，但此用法並不標準。
- 更常見且自然的結構是 slip and + V，用來描述一個接連發生的意外動作，例如「滑倒並撞到」。
- 另一個常見結構是 let (something) slip，意思是「無意中說出」或「洩露」，後面可接名詞或 that 子句。 EN: I slipped leaving the room and dropped my keys. 翻譯: 我離開房間時不小心滑了一下，把鑰匙掉在了地上。
EN:Be careful not to let the secret slip at the party.
翻譯:小心別在派對上不小心說出這個秘密。
總結建議
建議使用「slip doing」描述已發生的疏忽動作，並優先使用「slip and + V」或「let (something) slip」等更自然的片語。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Slip"?Which "Slip" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He slipped on the water slide.
✓He slid down the water slide.
「slip」通常指意外、不受控制地滑倒或滑落，常帶有負面或意外的含義。而「slide」則指有控制地、平穩地滑動，通常是有意為之的動作。
×I slipped from the chair.
✓I fell from the chair.
「slip」強調「滑」的動作，是導致跌倒的原因。而「fall」強調「跌落」的結果。通常先「slip」（腳滑），然後才「fall」（跌倒）。
×She slipped on her shoes quickly.
✓She slipped into her shoes quickly.
表示「迅速穿上」衣物時，動詞「slip」後面應接介系詞「into」或「on」，但「into」更常用於衣物（如裙子、鞋子），而「on」則用於較外層的衣物（如外套）。「slip on」單獨使用時，常指「在...上滑倒」。
×His name was slipped my mind.
✓His name slipped my mind.
片語「slip one's mind」意為「忘記」，其主詞通常是「事物」（如名字、事情），而不是「人」。且此為固定用法，通常使用主動語態，而非被動語態（was slipped）。
×He slipped away the book from the table.
✓He slipped the book away from the table. / The book slipped away from him.
「slip away」作為動詞片語時，有「悄悄離開」或「（機會、時間）溜走」的意思。若要表達「將某物悄悄拿走」，應使用「slip something away」的詞序，或使用「slip something out/off」。
