throw something vs throw something to someone
- throw + 受詞 通常強調「拋擲」這個動作本身，或拋向一個位置（如籃框、牆壁）。
- throw + 受詞 + to + 人 則明確指出拋擲的「接收者」是人，強調傳遞的意圖。
- 當接收者是人時，使用
throw to會比單用throw更清晰、自然。 EN: The quarterback threw the ball. 翻譯: 四分衛把球扔了出去。
EN:The quarterback threw the ball to the receiver.

正式書寫注意：上述口語用法（尤其是「停頓填充」和隨意的「引述」）在正式報告、學術論文或商業提案中應避免使用，建議改用更精確的動詞如 "suggest"、"add"、"pose (a question)" 或 "toss"（後者在非正式文體中仍可用，但正式文體中 "throw" 的比喻用法宜謹慎）。
