常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Steak"?Which "Steak" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I want to buy a steak.
✓I want to buy a steak. / I want to buy some steak.
「steak」作為可數名詞時，指「一塊牛排」；作為不可數名詞時，指「牛排肉」。兩者皆正確，但語意略有不同。前者強調具體的一塊（如一份餐點），後者強調肉類材料。
×We cooked five steaks for dinner.
✓We cooked five steaks for dinner.
此句文法正確。學習者有時會誤以為「steak」不可數而不敢用複數。當指多塊/多份牛排時，使用複數「steaks」是正確的。
×He is eating steak.
✓He is eating steak. / He is eating a steak.
兩者皆正確，但語意不同。不加冠詞的「steak」泛指牛排這種食物（不可數）。加「a」則指具體的一份牛排（可數）。例如「I like steak」指喜歡吃牛排；「I ate a steak」指吃了一塊牛排。
×I'll have a beef, please.
✓I'll have a steak, please. / I'll have beef, please.
「beef」是牛肉的統稱，通常為不可數名詞，不能直接與「a」連用（除非指特定種類，如「a delicious beef」不自然）。點餐時具體的一塊牛排應說「a steak」。泛指牛肉料理可說「beef」。
×He has a high stake in the company.
✓He has a high stake in the company.
此為拼字混淆錯誤。「steak」是牛排；「stake」是股份、利害關係。兩者發音相同，但意思完全不同。例句中的「stake」是正確的。若誤寫為「steak」則變成「他在公司有一塊很高的牛排」，意思荒謬。
×I want my steak cooked well.
✓I want my steak well-done.
描述牛排熟度有固定用詞：rare（一分熟）、medium-rare（三分熟）、medium（五分熟）、medium-well（七分熟）、well-done（全熟）。「cooked well」語法正確但非描述熟度的標準用語，可能被誤解為「煮得很好」。
