  1. 1

    生物技術

    EN: to insert genetic material into a cell using a vector (e.g., a virus)

    翻譯: 使用載體(如病毒)將遺傳物質送入細胞。

  2. 2

    導向

    EN: to direct or guide something along a specific path or toward a target

用法說明

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

vector to + V vs vector + V-ing

  • vector to + V 通常用於描述一個具體、有目的性的行動或計畫,強調將某事物引導至特定目標或方向。
  • vector + V-ing 則更常描述一種持續的、作為過程一部分的引導或傳送動作,焦點在於動作的進行方式或狀態。
  • 在許多情況下,兩者可以互換,但細微差別在於 to + V 暗示最終目標,而 V-ing 暗示方法或途徑。 EN: The software is designed to vector data to a secure server for analysis. 翻譯: 這款軟體的設計是將資料導向安全的伺服器進行分析。

EN:Their strategy involves vectoring resources towards developing new markets.

翻譯:他們的策略涉及將資源導向開發新市場。

總結建議

當強調引導至一個明確的終點或目標時,使用 "vector to + V";當描述引導的過程或作為更大行動的一部分時,使用 "vector + V-ing"。

易混淆對比

What is the difference between "Vector" and similar words?How to choose "Vector" vs alternatives?

vector vs direct

「vector」強調透過技術或系統(如導航、無人機)進行精確引導或規劃路徑;「direct」則泛指一般的指引、指揮或管理行為。

vector vs guide

「vector」側重於技術性、計算性的路徑引導,常為自動化過程;「guide」則強調陪伴、示範或提供建議的引導方式。

vector vs steer

「vector」指遠端或系統性的路徑規劃與導引;「steer」則指直接操控交通工具或事物的方向。

引述

在對話中,當引述或轉述他人的指示、建議或技術性內容時,常用「vector」來精確傳達原意。 EN: So the manager just said, "Vector the resources towards the new project immediately." 翻譯: 所以經理剛才說:「立即將資源導向新專案。」

EN:I heard the engineer tell the team, "We need to vector the drone to the new coordinates."

翻譯:我聽到工程師告訴團隊:「我們需要將無人機導向新的座標。」

語氣強調

在非正式對話中,使用「vector」可以強調行動的方向性或目的性,使指令聽起來更果斷、專業。 EN: Okay, team, let's just vector all our efforts on this one issue. 翻譯: 好了,團隊,我們就把所有精力都集中在這個問題上吧。

EN:Don't overthink it—just vector your attention to the main goal.

翻譯:別想太多—直接把你的注意力對準主要目標。

停頓填充

在思考或組織語言時,有時會用「vector」作為一個短暫的停頓詞,引出接下來要說的方向或行動。 EN: Our next step... vector... we should probably look at the market data. 翻譯: 我們的下一步…導向…我們或許應該看看市場數據。

EN:So what I'm trying to say is... vector... the focus needs to shift to customer feedback.

翻譯:所以我想說的是…導向…焦點需要轉移到客戶回饋上。

正式寫作注意:在正式報告、學術論文或商業文件中,應避免將「vector」用作動詞的口語化用法。建議改用更標準的動詞,如 "direct"、"channel"、"steer" 或 "orient",以符合文體的嚴謹性。

常見錯誤

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

×We need to vector the data.

We need to vectorize the data.

「vector」作為動詞在計算領域意指「使用向量方法處理或導航」,但更常見的動詞是「vectorize」(向量化),意指將數據轉換為向量格式。直接使用「vector」作動詞可能不自然。

×The plane was vectored to the airport.

The plane was vectored toward the airport.

動詞「vector」在航空術語中常與「toward」、「to」、「onto」等介系詞連用,表示引導至特定方向或路徑。僅用「to」可能語意不完整,需搭配適當介系詞片語。

×I will vector you the document.

I will send you the document via a secure vector.

「vector」作動詞時,主詞通常是非人實體(如系統、指令、路徑),表示「引導方向」或「確定路徑」,不直接用於表示「傳送文件給某人」這種一般傳遞行為。

×He is good at vectoring.

He is good at vector graphics design.

「vectoring」作為動名詞較少單獨使用來描述一個人的技能。它通常出現在特定領域片語中,如「vector graphics」(向量圖形)或「path vectoring」(路徑導引)。應使用更明確的名詞片語。

×The disease was vectored by air.

The disease was transmitted by mosquitoes, which are common vectors.

在生物學中,「vector」作名詞指傳播疾病的媒介(如蚊子),但作動詞「vectored」時,主語應是該媒介本身,而非疾病或抽象概念如「air」。誤用會導致邏輯混淆。
