常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Transition"?Which "Transition" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×The company made a transition to remote work.
✓The company transitioned to remote work.
當 'transition' 作為動詞時，應直接使用 'transitioned' 來表示「轉變」的動作，而非使用 'made a transition' 這種將名詞當動詞用的冗長結構。
×She transitioned from teaching into administration.
✓She transitioned from teaching to administration.
動詞 'transition' 後接新的狀態、角色或階段時，正確的介系詞是 'to'，而非 'into'。'From...to...' 是固定搭配。
×The manager transitioned the team to the new policy.
✓The manager helped the team transition to the new policy. / The manager facilitated the team's transition to the new policy.
'Transition' 作為動詞時，通常用作不及物動詞，後面不直接接受詞（團隊）。若要表達「使...過渡」，需使用 'help/facilitate/guide ... transition' 或使用名詞形式。
×Our industry will be transitioned to digital in the coming years.
✓Our industry will transition to digital in the coming years. / Our industry will be transitioning to digital in the coming years.
使用被動語態 'will be transitioned' 並不自然，因為 'transition' 強調的是主體主動或經歷變化的過程。應使用主動語態的未來式或未來進行式。
×We need to transit to a new supplier.
✓We need to transition to a new supplier.
'Transit' 主要指「運輸、通過」，是具體的移動。'Transition' 則指狀態、階段或條件的「轉變、過渡」。兩者不可混淆。
