用法說明
How is "Suit" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Suit"?
suit doing vs suit to do
- suit doing 通常用於描述某種情況、安排或條件「適合做某事」，強調的是狀態或事實上的合適性。
- suit to do 這個結構在標準英語中並不常見，通常被視為不正確。正確表達「適合去做某事」時，應使用 suit someone to do something 或 be suited to do something。
- 動詞 suit 本身較少直接接動詞-ing形式，更常見的用法是接名詞（suit something）或用於被動語態（be suited for/to）。
- 在表達「某人適合做某事」時，常用 be suited to something/for something 或 be suited to do something。 EN: The flexible hours suit working from home. 翻譯: 彈性工時適合在家工作。
EN:This role is suited to handle client complaints.
翻譯:這個職位適合處理客戶投訴。
總結建議
建議避免使用「suit to do」結構，表達「適合做某事」時，優先使用「suit something」、「be suited to/for something」或「be suited to do something」。
