用法說明

How is "Tie" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Tie"?

tie doing vs tie to do

  • tie doing 通常不是標準的英文用法。動詞 "tie" 後面一般不直接接動名詞 (V-ing) 來表示目的或喜好。
  • tie to do 是正確的結構,表示「綁住以做某事」或「連結以達成某事」,強調綁這個動作是為了達成後面的目的。
  • 在表示「忙得無法脫身」的常見片語中,會使用 be tied up doing something 的結構。
  • 另一個常見結構是 tie something to something,表示將兩件事物連結或關聯起來。 EN: He used a rope to tie the boat to the dock. 翻譯: 他用繩子把船繫在碼頭上。

EN:She is tied up preparing for the conference all week.

翻譯:她整個星期都忙著準備會議,完全抽不開身。

總結建議

使用 "tie to do" 來表達為了某個目的而綁住或連結,而 "be tied up doing" 則用來表示忙於某事無法分身。

易混淆對比

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

tie vs bind

「tie」通常指用繩、帶等打結固定,較為日常;「bind」則強調緊密捆綁或約束,可能更正式或具束縛力。

tie vs fasten

「tie」特指透過打結來固定;「fasten」是更廣泛的「固定、扣上」,方式多樣(如鈕扣、拉鍊、安全帶)。

tie vs connect

「tie」側重物理上的「繫、綁」,或抽象上緊密連結導致難以分開;「connect」泛指建立連結或關聯,方式更廣泛(如電路、交通、人際關係)。

口語用法

引述

EN:Let me explain how all these points tie together.

翻譯:讓我來解釋所有這些要點是如何環環相扣的。

停頓填充

在思考或組織語言時,"tie" 相關的片語如 "tie that back to..." 或 "to tie this all up" 常被用作填充語,以爭取時間。 EN: So, to tie this all up, we need a more integrated approach. 翻譯: 那麼,總而言之,我們需要一個更整合的方法。

EN:Um, how do I... tie that back to the main topic?

翻譯:嗯,我該怎麼...把那個拉回主題呢?

正式寫作注意:在正式或學術寫作中,應避免將 "tie" 用作過於口語化的連接詞(如上述填充用法)。建議使用更精確的詞彙,如 "connect", "relate", "correlate", "integrate" 或 "synthesize" 來表達關聯性,並使用更正式的轉折語來總結論點。

常見錯誤

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

×I tie my shoes.

I am tying my shoes.

當描述正在進行的動作時,應使用現在進行式,而非簡單現在式。簡單現在式通常用於習慣性或經常性的動作。

×She tied her hair.

She tied her hair up / back.

「綁頭髮」在英文中通常需要一個副詞(如 up, back)來完整表達「紮起來」的動作,單用 "tie" 意思不夠明確。

×I tied the dog on the tree.

I tied the dog to the tree.

表示「將某物繫/綁在另一物上」時,介系詞應使用 "to",而非 "on"。"on" 表示在表面上,"to" 表示連接關係。

×The game was tie.

The game was a tie. / The game ended in a tie.

「平手」或「平局」作為名詞時,是可數名詞,前面需要冠詞 "a",或使用 "end in a tie" 的片語。

×This tie matches with your shirt.

This tie matches your shirt.

動詞 "match" 表示「與...相配」時是及物動詞,後面直接接受詞,不需要介系詞 "with"。

×I need to tie my necktie.

I need to put on my tie. / I need to wear a tie.

雖然 "tie" 作動詞有「打領帶」的意思,但在日常口語中,更自然的說法是 "put on a tie" 或 "wear a tie"。"Tie my necktie" 聽起來冗餘且不自然。
