易混淆對比

What is the difference between "Such" and similar words?How to choose "Such" vs alternatives?

such vs so

「such」修飾名詞(such + a/an + 形容詞 + 名詞),「so」修飾形容詞或副詞(so + 形容詞/副詞)。

such vs like

「such as」用於舉例,而「like」在非正式語境中也可表示舉例,但「such」本身是限定詞,強調程度或種類。

such vs very

「such」是限定詞,修飾帶有名詞的整個名詞片語;「very」是副詞,直接修飾形容詞或另一個副詞。

引述

在對話中,常用來引述或總結對方剛說過的話,表示「像那樣的」或「你提到的那種」。 EN: A: I saw a huge dog today. B: I'm not a fan of such animals. 翻譯: A: 我今天看到一隻超大的狗。 B: 我對那種動物沒什麼好感。

EN:A: He has a very unique approach. B: Such ideas can be hard to implement.

翻譯:A: 他有一種非常獨特的方法。 B: 那樣的想法可能很難落實。

語氣強調

與形容詞或名詞連用,加強語氣,表達程度之高或情況之極端,常帶有驚嘆或誇張的意味。 EN: It was such a beautiful day that we stayed out all afternoon. 翻譯: 那天真是美好,我們整個下午都待在外面。

EN:She's such a fast learner!

翻譯:她學東西真是快得不得了!

停頓填充

在即時對話中,有時用作短暫的停頓填充詞,為說話者爭取思考時間,類似「那個…」、「就是…」。 EN: We need to consider... such... the long-term effects of this decision. 翻譯: 我們需要考慮…那個…這個決定的長期影響。

EN:His behavior was just... such... out of character.

翻譯:他的行為就是…怎麼說…很不像他平時的樣子。

正式寫作注意:在正式或學術寫作中,應避免將 "such" 用作停頓填充詞。口語中用於強調的 "such a + adj + noun" 結構在寫作中雖可使用,但通常會以更精確或正式的詞彙(如 "extremely", "remarkably")來替代,以保持語氣的客觀與嚴謹。

常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Such"?Which "Such" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×It was a such beautiful day.

It was such a beautiful day.

在「such + a/an + 形容詞 + 名詞」的結構中,such 必須放在不定冠詞 a/an 之前。

×I have never seen such big dog.

I have never seen such a big dog.

當後接可數名詞單數時,必須使用「such a/an」。不可省略不定冠詞。

×He told me such funny jokes.

He told me such funny jokes.

此句文法正確,但學習者常誤以為「such」只能接單數名詞。實際上,「such」可接複數名詞或不可數名詞,例如:such good advice(如此好的建議)、such difficult problems(如此困難的問題)。

×The weather is such hot today.

The weather is so hot today.

「such」修飾「名詞」或「名詞片語」(如:such hot weather),而「so」修飾「形容詞」或「副詞」(如:so hot)。此處修飾形容詞「hot」,應使用「so」。

×It's such a good idea what we should try it.

It's such a good idea that we should try it.

在「such...that...」(如此...以至於...)的句型中,連接詞必須使用「that」,而非「what」或其他詞。

×I don't like such movies.

I don't like that kind of movie. / I don't like movies like that.

單獨使用「such」來表示「這一類的」或「像那樣的」在現代英語中較不自然,通常用於正式或文學體裁。口語中更常使用「that kind of」、「like that」或「this/that sort of」。
