用法說明

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

tour + 地方 vs tour + 地方 + as + 身份

  • tour + 地方 是最常見的用法,表示單純地「遊覽某地」。
  • tour + 地方 + as + 身份 則強調以某種特定身份(如記者、評審、官員)進行參觀或視察,通常帶有公務或專業目的。
  • tour 作為及物動詞時,後面直接接參觀的地點(如城市、工廠、博物館)。
  • 使用 as 來引導身份時,焦點從「遊覽」轉移到「以...身份進行考察」。 EN: The delegation will tour the new research facility next week. 翻譯: 代表團將於下週參觀新的研究設施。

EN:The minister will tour the disaster area as part of her official duties.

翻譯:部長將以官方職責的一部分,視察災區。

EN:We spent the afternoon touring the old town.

翻譯:我們花了一下午遊覽舊城區。

EN:She toured the factory as an efficiency consultant.

翻譯:她以效率顧問的身份視察了工廠。

總結建議

一般觀光遊覽用「tour + 地方」即可,若強調以特定身份進行公務或專業視察,則使用「tour + 地方 + as + 身份」。

EN:So after we tour the castle... um... we should find a place for lunch.

翻譯:所以等我們參觀完城堡…嗯…我們應該找個地方吃午餐。

正式書寫注意:在正式報告或學術寫作中,應避免使用上述口語引述方式(如「He was like...」)、語氣強調的拼寫(如「toouuur」)或停頓填充詞(如「you know」、「um」)。建議使用更精確、結構完整的句子,例如「The group plans to tour the entire region」或「Following the castle tour, the group will proceed to lunch."

常見錯誤

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

×We will tour to Japan next month.

We will tour Japan next month.

作為及物動詞,'tour' 後面直接接地方或景點,不需要介系詞 'to'。

×We made a tour in the museum.

We took a tour of the museum.

描述「參加導覽」時,常用搭配動詞是 'take' 或 'go on',介系詞用 'of'。'make a tour' 較不自然。

×She is touring around Europe.

She is touring Europe.

'tour' 本身已包含「四處遊覽」的意思,加上 'around' 是多餘的。直接說 'tour + 地點' 即可。

×I want to tour visit the factory.

I want to tour the factory.

'tour' 作為動詞已表示「參觀遊覽」,後面不需要再加 'visit'。這是冗詞錯誤。

×They are in a tour.

They are on a tour.

表示「正在進行觀光旅行」的狀態時,固定搭配介系詞是 'on',不是 'in'。
