常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Warm"?Which "Warm" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I warmed the soup on the microwave.
✓I warmed the soup in the microwave.
使用電器加熱時，應使用介系詞 'in' 而非 'on'。'On' 通常用於爐子（stove）或火爐（burner）等表面加熱。
×Can you warm on the room? It's cold.
✓Can you warm up the room? It's cold.
表示使某個空間變暖，動詞 'warm' 通常需要與 'up' 連用，形成片語動詞 'warm up'。單獨使用 'warm' 在此語境中不自然。
×He warmed to the idea after I explained it.
✓He warmed to the idea after I explained it.
此句文法正確，但學習者常誤解其意。'Warm to' 是片語動詞，意為『開始喜歡或對...產生好感』，而非物理上的加熱。此為常見的語意理解錯誤。
×This food is warmed. Let's eat.
✓This food is warm. Let's eat.
描述食物處於溫熱的狀態時，應使用形容詞 'warm'。'Warmed' 是過去分詞，強調『被加熱過』的動作，通常用於被動語態（如：The food was warmed in the oven）。描述狀態時用形容詞更自然。
×I need to warm myself. I'm freezing.
✓I need to warm up. I'm freezing.
表示讓自己的身體變暖（如運動前或寒冷時），更地道的說法是使用片語動詞 'warm up' 或 'get warm'。'Warm myself' 文法正確但較不常用，聽起來像是刻意執行一個動作。
