常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Totally"?Which "Totally" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He is a totally person.
✓He is a total person.
「totally」是副詞，不能修飾名詞「person」。修飾名詞時應使用形容詞「total」。
×I am not totally agree with you.
✓I do not totally agree with you.
「agree」是動詞，否定時應使用助動詞「do not」，而不是「be」動詞。
×This is totally perfect.
✓This is perfect.
「perfect」這類表示絕對狀態的形容詞（如 unique, dead, impossible），通常不與「totally」連用，因為它們本身已表示「完全」的狀態。
×The financial report is totally accurate.
✓The financial report is entirely/completely accurate.
在正式或學術寫作中，「totally」有時被認為過於口語化。使用「entirely」或「completely」會更正式。
×I totally was surprised by the news.
✓I was totally surprised by the news.
「totally」作為程度副詞，通常放在主要動詞（如 was）之後、形容詞（如 surprised）之前，而不是放在助動詞之前。
×That movie was totally awesome, and the actor was totally cool.
✓That movie was really awesome, and the actor was very cool.
在一個句子中重複使用「totally」聽起來不自然且像俚語。可以交替使用「really」、「very」、「absolutely」等同義詞，或省略其中一個。
