常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Uniform"?Which "Uniform" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×They need to uniform the employees.
✓They need to provide uniforms for the employees.
「uniform」作動詞時，意思是「使一致、使統一」，而不是「提供制服」。當想表達「提供制服」時，應使用「provide uniforms」或「issue uniforms」。
×The procedures uniform across all branches.
✓The procedures are uniform across all branches.
當「uniform」作為形容詞，表示「一致的、統一的」時，需要與be動詞連用。這裡誤將形容詞當作動詞使用，導致句子缺少動詞。
×The manager wants to uniform.
✓The manager wants to standardize the procedures.
動詞「uniform」是及物動詞，必須接賓語（受詞）。不能單獨使用。若想表達「使某事標準化」，需明確指出賓語，或使用「standardize」等更常見的動詞。
×We need to uniform with the new regulations.
✓We need to bring our practices into uniformity with the new regulations.
動詞「uniform」後面不直接接介系詞「with」。它通常直接接賓語，表示「使...一致」。表達「與...一致」時，需使用其他結構，如「bring into uniformity with」或「make uniform with」。
×They uniformed the color of all the walls.
✓They made the color of all the walls uniform.
動詞「uniform」在現代英語中較為正式且不常用。在口語或一般寫作中，使用「make something uniform」或「standardize」會更自然。
×He is uniforming the process.
✓He is making the process uniform.
動詞「uniform」的現在分詞「uniforming」極其罕見，聽起來不自然。在進行式語態中，應避免使用，改用「making something uniform」或「standardizing」。
