用法說明

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

verb doing vs verb to do

  • verb + doing 通常表示習慣、愛好或經常性的活動,強調的是享受活動本身的過程或經驗。
  • verb + to do 通常表示一次性的選擇、意圖或特定場合的決定,強調的是動作的發生或目的。
  • like, love, hate, prefer 等表示喜好的動詞後,兩者區別有時很細微,英式英語較常用 doing 形式,美式英語則兩者皆常見。
  • start, begin, continue 等動詞後,兩者意思幾乎相同,但 to do 可能更強調未來的意圖。 EN: She likes reading novels before bed. 翻譯: 她喜歡睡前看小說。

EN:She would like to read that new novel you recommended.

翻譯:她想讀你推薦的那本新小說。

EN:He started learning Chinese five years ago.

引述

在對話中,人們常用 "verb" 來引述或轉述他人的話,尤其是當對方使用了某個特定的動詞時。 EN: He was like, "I need to verb this whole situation," and I just nodded. 翻譯: 他就說:「我需要『動詞』處理整個狀況,」而我只是點點頭。

常見錯誤

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

×The verb of 'action' is 'act'.

The verb form of 'action' is 'act'.

混淆了「verb」(動詞)和「noun」(名詞)的詞性概念。'verb' 指的是詞性本身,而 'verb form' 指的是某個詞的動詞形式。

×There are many verbs in this sentence.

There are many verbs in this sentence.

此句文法正確,但中文學習者常誤解其意。英文的 'verb' 作為「動詞」這個詞性類別時是不可數名詞,但作為「一個動詞字」時是可數的。此句意思是「這個句子裡有很多個動詞(字)」,而非「有很多種動詞詞性」。

×Every sentence must have a verb.

Every complete sentence must have a finite verb.

此說法過於簡化。祈使句如 'Go!' 只有動詞,但有些句子如感嘆句 'What a beautiful day!' 或省略句 'Nice to meet you.' 可能沒有傳統的主詞+動詞結構。更精確的說法是「一個完整的陳述句通常需要一個限定動詞」。

×He verb 'go' to school yesterday.

He went to school yesterday.

誤將 'verb' 當作實際動詞使用。'verb' 是名詞,指「動詞」這個概念,不能直接放在主詞後當作謂語。必須使用具體的動詞及其正確時態。

×Verb is important part of speech.

The verb is an important part of speech.

當泛指「動詞」這個整體概念或詞性類別時,通常需要定冠詞 'the'(表示獨一無二或特指的一類)。同時,'part of speech' 是可數名詞單數,需要冠詞 'a/an'。
