用法說明

somehow 與 somehow to 的用法
- "somehow" 作為副詞，通常直接修飾動詞或整個句子，表示「以某種方式」或「不知何故」。它後面直接跟動詞原形，不接 "to"。
- 在標準英語中，"somehow to + 動詞" 的結構並不正確。"somehow" 不與不定詞標記 "to" 連用。
- 當你想表達「設法做某事」時，正確的結構是 "somehow + 動詞" 或 "manage to + 動詞"。
- 常見的錯誤是將 "somehow" 誤用為類似 "need to" 或 "want to" 的結構，但 "somehow" 本身並非動詞，不帶有 "to"。 EN: We must somehow finish this project by Friday. 翻譯: 我們必須設法在星期五前完成這個專案。
EN:We must find a way to finish this project by Friday.
翻譯:我們必須找到一個方法，在星期五前完成這個專案。
EN:She somehow managed to fix the broken computer.
翻譯:她不知怎地設法修好了那台壞掉的電腦。
EN:She found a way to fix the broken computer.
翻譯:她找到了修好那台壞掉電腦的方法。
總結建議
使用 "somehow" 時，應將其視為修飾動詞的副詞，直接置於動詞前，避免在其後加上 "to"。

注意：在正式書寫（如學術論文、商業報告）中，應避免使用「somehow」來表達不確定性。建議改用更精確的詞語，如「by some means」、「in some way」、「unexpectedly」或具體說明方法，以提升文章的嚴謹性。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Somehow"?Which "Somehow" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I will somehow to finish the project.
✓I will somehow finish the project.
"somehow" 是副詞，直接修飾動詞，後面不接 "to"。它表示「以某種方式」或「不知何故」，用於描述不確定或未知的方法或原因。
×I feel somehow that he is lying.
✓I somehow feel that he is lying.
副詞 "somehow" 通常放在主要動詞之前（或助動詞與主要動詞之間），以修飾整個動作或狀態，表示「不知何故有這種感覺」。放在句尾或感覺動詞之後會顯得不自然。
×Somehow means the same as 'something'.
✓"Somehow" means 'in some way' or 'for some reason'.
"somehow" 與 "something" 意思完全不同。"somehow" 是副詞，描述方式或原因；"something" 是代名詞，指某個事物。兩者不可互換。
×I will do it by somehow.
✓I will do it somehow.
"somehow" 本身已包含「以某種方式」的意思，前面不需要再加介系詞 "by"。加上 "by" 是多餘且錯誤的。
×Somehow, I think it's a good idea.
✓Somehow, I feel it's a good idea.
當 "somehow" 用於表達「不知何故有某種感覺或直覺」時，常與 "feel"、"sense"、"know" 等動詞連用，而非直接與 "think"（表示理性思考）搭配，以強調非理性的感知。
