常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Trust"?Which "Trust" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I trust on you.
✓I trust you.
「trust」是及物動詞，後面直接接受詞，不需要介系詞「on」。
×I trust to do it.
✓I trust someone to do it. / I trust that someone will do it.
「trust」不能直接接不定詞（to do）當受詞。正確用法是「trust + 人 + to do」或「trust + that 子句」。
×I am trusting you.
✓I trust you.
「trust」是一個表示狀態或心理感覺的動詞，通常不用進行式。一般使用簡單現在式即可。
×I don't trust in his words.
✓I don't trust his words. / I don't trust what he says.
「trust」作為及物動詞，可以直接接受詞（如 his words, him）。「trust in」是一個片語，意思更接近「信仰、深信」，對象通常是抽象概念（如 trust in God, trust in the future）。
×Can I trust this machine?
✓Can this machine be trusted? / Is this machine trustworthy?
原句文法正確，但語意上「trust」的對象通常是有意志的人或機構。對於無生命的物體（如機器），更自然的說法是使用被動語態「be trusted」或形容詞「trustworthy/reliable」。
×I trust you for keeping the promise.
✓I trust you to keep the promise. / I trust that you will keep the promise.
表達「信任某人做某事」時，正確的句型是「trust someone to do something」，而不是使用「for + V-ing」。
