用法說明

visualize doing vs visualize to do
- visualize + V-ing 是標準且常見的用法，表示「想像（自己）正在做某事」或「預見某個情景發生」。
- visualize + to + V 在標準文法中被視為不正確，應避免使用。
- 動詞 visualize 通常不與不定詞（to + V）連用，這點與某些動詞（如 like, love, prefer）不同。
- 若要表達「想像為了某個目的而做某事」，通常會使用其他結構，例如 visualize oneself + V-ing 或重組句子。 EN: She visualizes winning the championship every night. 翻譯: 她每晚都會想像自己贏得冠軍的情景。
EN:He tried to visualize to complete the project.
翻譯:他試圖想像去完成這個專案。
總結建議
建議統一使用 visualize + V-ing 的結構，避免使用 visualize to do。
