用法說明

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

verify doing vs verify to do

  • verify doing 通常用於描述「確認某個正在進行或已完成的動作或事實」,強調的是確認的內容或對象本身。
  • verify to do 這種結構在標準英語中並不常見,聽起來不自然。
  • 表達「為了某個目的而進行確認」時,通常會使用其他結構,例如 verify that...verify something
  • 在需要接不定詞 (to do) 表示目的時,更自然的說法是 check to domake sure to do。 EN: The system will verify your account being active before proceeding. 翻譯: 系統會先確認你的帳戶處於活躍狀態,再繼續進行。

EN:Please verify that the information is correct before submitting.

翻譯:提交前,請先確認資訊是否正確。

總結建議

建議使用 verify that + 子句verify + 名詞 來表達確認的內容,避免使用 verify to do 這種不自然的結構。

引述

在對話中,當引述或轉述一個需要確認的指令、要求或資訊時,常會使用 "verify" 來開頭,使語意更清晰。 EN: So what he said was, "Verify the address before sending the package." 翻譯: 所以他說的是:「寄包裹前要先確認地址。」

EN:Her exact words were, "Please verify your email to continue."

翻譯:她的原話是:「請驗證您的電子郵件以繼續。」

語氣強調

在非正式對話中,有時會用 "verify" 來強調自己已經做過確認的動作,帶有「我可是確認過的」的語氣。 EN: I did verify the time—it's definitely 3 PM, not 2. 翻譯: 我確實確認過時間了——肯定是下午三點,不是兩點。

EN:Just to be clear, I already verified the details with the manager.

翻譯:說清楚一點,我已經跟經理確認過細節了。

停頓填充

在思考或組織接下來要說的話時,有時會用 "let me verify..." 或 "to verify..." 作為短暫的停頓填充,讓對話聽起來不那麼生硬。 EN: The next step is... let me verify... oh right, we need to submit the report. 翻譯: 下一步是...讓我想一下...哦對,我們需要提交報告。

EN:To verify, you're saying we should meet on Friday?

翻譯:確認一下,你是說我們應該星期五見面嗎?

正式書寫注意:在正式書面語(如報告、論文、官方文件)中,應避免使用上述口語化的停頓或引述結構。請直接、明確地陳述事實,例如使用 "It is necessary to verify..." 或 "Verification of the data shows..." 等更嚴謹的句式。

常見錯誤

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

×I need to verify the information is correct.

I need to verify that the information is correct.

在英文中,'verify' 後面通常接 'that' 子句來引導要確認的內容,直接接名詞子句會顯得不自然。

×Can you verify me if this is true?

Can you verify for me if this is true? / Can you verify whether this is true?

'Verify' 是及物動詞,但它的受詞是『事情』,不是『人』。要表達『為某人確認』,需用 'verify for someone' 或改變句型。詢問是否屬實時,常用 'verify whether/if'。

×I verified the report yesterday.

I verified the information in the report yesterday. / I reviewed the report yesterday.

'Verify' 的對象通常是『事實、數據、身分、細節』等具體可被證實的內容,而不是整份『文件、報告』本身。確認報告內容是 'verify the information in the report',而閱讀檢查報告則是 'review the report'。

×This fact verifies the theory.

This fact confirms/supports the theory.

'Verify' 強調透過調查、證據來『證實』某事的真實性或準確性,常用於程序性、事實性的檢查。而理論、假設的『證實』或『支持』,在學術或一般語境中更常用 'confirm', 'support', 或 'prove'。

×I will verify to finish the task.

I will make sure to finish the task. / I will ensure (that) the task is finished.

'Verify' 的意思是『查證、核實』已存在或已發生的事實,不表示『確保』未來某件事會發生。表示『確保』未來動作完成,應使用 'make sure', 'ensure', 或 'see to it that'。
