“Sometimes you come across a piece of content that is so compelling you want to use it, you're dying to use it, but you're not 100 percent sure, if you can, because you don't know if the source is credible, You don't know if it's a scrape, You don't know if it's a re-upload, And you have to do that investigative work.”

用法說明
How is "Upload" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Upload"?
upload + 名詞 vs upload + 名詞 + to + 位置
- upload + 名詞 是最基本的用法，表示「上傳某物」，但未明確指出目的地。
- upload + 名詞 + to + 位置 則明確指出了上傳的目標位置，例如網站、伺服器或雲端空間。
- 當上下文已清楚知道目的地時，可以省略
to + 位置。 - 若需強調或首次提及目的地，則必須使用
to + 位置的結構。 EN: Please upload the finished report by 5 PM. 翻譯: 請在下午五點前上傳完成的報告。
EN:Please upload the finished report to the shared drive.
翻譯:請將完成的報告上傳到共享雲端硬碟。
upload + 動名詞 (doing) vs upload + to + 動詞原形 (to do)
- upload doing 並不常見，通常用於描述「上傳一個正在進行某動作的檔案」，例如影片。
- upload to do 則表示上傳的目的是為了做某事，強調意圖或功能。
- 在表達目的時，應使用
upload (something) to do的結構。 EN: She uploaded a video of her dog playing in the park. 翻譯: 她上傳了一段她的狗在公園玩耍的影片。
EN:He uploaded the file to share it with the team.
翻譯:他上傳檔案是為了與團隊分享。
總結建議
一般情況下，使用 upload + 名詞 (+ to + 位置) 的結構即可清晰表達；若要說明上傳的目的，則使用 upload (something) to + 動詞原形。

口語用法

引述
在口語中，當引述或轉述一個上傳的動作或指令時，常會直接使用 "upload" 這個詞。 EN: He was like, "Just upload the file and send me the link." 翻譯: 他就說：「把檔案上傳，然後把連結傳給我就好。」
EN:My boss told me, "Make sure you upload the report before 5 PM."

語氣強調
在非正式對話中，會透過重複或加入口語助詞來強調上傳的動作，表達催促、確認或無奈。 EN: Upload, upload, just upload it already! We're running out of time. 翻譯: 傳啊，快傳啊，你就上傳了吧！我們沒時間了。
EN:Did you upload it? You did upload it, right?
翻譯:你上傳了嗎？你有上傳對吧？
停頓填充
在思考或組織語句時，"upload" 或其相關詞組可能被用作停頓填充，特別是當話題圍繞檔案或網路分享時。 EN: So the next step is to... upload... the photos to the shared drive. 翻譯: 所以下一步是...上傳...把照片傳到共用雲端硬碟。
EN:I need to, you know, upload that thing... the video from yesterday.
翻譯:我需要，你知道的，上傳那個東西...昨天的那段影片。
正式書寫注意：在正式報告、學術論文或商業文件中，應避免使用上述口語化的引述、重複強調或填充停頓的用法。建議使用更完整、專業的句式，例如 "The data must be uploaded to the server" 或 "Please proceed with file upload."。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Upload"?Which "Upload" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I will upload the file in the internet.
✓I will upload the file to the internet.
使用動詞 'upload' 時，正確的介系詞是 'to'，表示將檔案傳輸到某個目的地（如伺服器、平台、網路）。'in' 表示在內部，不符合上傳的動作方向。
×I uploaded a video on my computer.
✓I saved/downloaded a video on my computer. (or) I uploaded a video from my computer.
'Upload' 指的是將檔案從本地裝置（如電腦）傳送到遠端系統。如果檔案只是儲存在電腦裡，沒有傳送出去，應該用 'save' 或 'download'。若要表達從電腦上傳，應使用 'upload from'。
×The upload speed is very fast. I can upload big files quick.
✓The upload speed is very fast. I can upload big files quickly.
修飾動詞 'upload' 應該使用副詞 'quickly'，而不是形容詞 'quick'。形容詞用來修飾名詞，副詞用來修飾動詞、形容詞或其他副詞。
×I am going to upload you the file.
✓I am going to upload the file for you. (or) I am going to send you the file.
'Upload' 不是雙賓動詞，不能直接接受兩個賓語（如 'upload someone something'）。正確用法是 'upload something for someone' 或 'upload something to a place'。若想表達傳送檔案給某人，也可用 'send'。
×The file is too large to upload it.
✓The file is too large to upload.
在 'too...to...' 或 'enough to...' 等不定詞結構中，若主句主詞與不定詞的受詞相同，則不需要在不定詞後重複使用受詞代名詞（如 'it'）。這裡 'file' 既是主詞也是 'upload' 的邏輯受詞，因此 'it' 是多餘的。
×I have uploaded the homework yesterday.
✓I uploaded the homework yesterday.
'Upload' 是一個明確的過去動作，當有具體的過去時間狀語（如 yesterday, last week）時，應使用簡單過去式，而不是現在完成式。現在完成式強調與現在的關聯性或未指明具體時間。
