用法說明

weapon (sth) vs weapon with (sth)

  • weapon (sth) 表示將某物直接用作武器或攻擊工具,強調該物體本身的用途轉變。
  • weapon with (sth) 表示使用某物作為武器來進行攻擊或達成目的,強調「使用...作為武器」的行為。
  • 當後接的物件是具體的物理工具(如棍棒、石頭)時,兩者有時可互換,但 weapon with 更強調「使用」的動作。
  • 當後接的物件是抽象概念(如資訊、法律)時,通常使用 weapon (sth),表示將其「武裝化」或「當作武器」。 EN: The protesters weaponed stones against the police. 翻譯: 抗議者用石頭作為武器攻擊警察。
