用法說明
How is "Smoke" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Smoke"?
smoke doing vs smoke to do
- smoke doing 通常用於描述一種習慣、經常性的活動，或是在特定情境下吸菸的伴隨狀態。
- smoke to do 則強調吸菸的「目的」或「原因」，通常是為了達到某種效果（如放鬆、提神）或應對某種情況。
- 在表示「習慣」時，兩者有時可互換，但 smoke doing 更側重「伴隨的狀態」，而 smoke to do 更側重「背後的目的」。
- 在 would smoke to + V 的假設語氣中，通常使用 to do 來表示「為了某個目的而會去吸菸」。 EN: He often smokes thinking about his problems. 翻譯: 他常常一邊思考問題一邊抽菸。
EN:He would smoke to calm his nerves before a big meeting.
翻譯:他在重要會議前會抽根菸來讓自己鎮定下來。
總結建議
一般情況下，描述伴隨狀態用 smoke doing，明確表達目的則用 smoke to do。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Smoke"?Which "Smoke" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He smokes.
✓He smokes cigarettes.
While 'He smokes.' is grammatically correct, it is often considered incomplete or vague in many contexts. To be more specific and natural, especially when introducing the topic, mention what is being smoked (e.g., cigarettes, a pipe, a cigar). The simple 'He smokes.' is more common as a short answer to a question like 'Does he smoke?'
×He is smoking for ten years.
✓He has been smoking for ten years.
Use the present perfect continuous tense ('has been smoking') to describe an action that started in the past and continues to the present, emphasizing the duration. The present continuous ('is smoking') describes an action happening right now or around the current moment, not a long-term habit.
×The factory smokes a lot of black smoke.
✓The factory emits/produces a lot of black smoke. OR Black smoke is smoking from the factory chimney.
The verb 'smoke' as an intransitive verb means 'to give off smoke' (e.g., The chimney is smoking). It is not typically used transitively to mean 'to produce smoke as an object'. For the transitive sense of producing/sending out smoke, use verbs like 'emit', 'produce', or 'belch'. Alternatively, use 'smoke' intransitively with the source as the subject.
×I can smoke something burning.
✓I can smell something burning.
Do not confuse 'smoke' (吸菸；冒煙) with 'smell' (聞到氣味). 'Smoke' refers to the act of inhaling tobacco or the visible gas/vapor itself. To perceive an odor with your nose, use the verb 'smell'.
×He stopped to smoke last month.
✓He stopped smoking last month.
'Stop + gerund (smoking)' means to end the habit or activity. 'Stop + infinitive (to smoke)' means to pause one activity in order to start smoking. The sentence 'He stopped to smoke' would mean he interrupted what he was doing in order to have a cigarette, which is not the intended meaning of quitting the habit.
×The fish is smoking over the fire.
✓The fish is being smoked over the fire.
When describing the process of preparing food by exposing it to smoke (燻製), the verb 'smoke' is transitive. Use the passive voice ('is being smoked') to indicate the fish is receiving the action. The active form 'The fish is smoking' would incorrectly mean the fish itself is producing smoke.
