常見錯誤

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

×The width of the table is 1 meter length.

The width of the table is 1 meter.

不要用 'length' 來描述寬度。'width' 本身就是一個尺寸,後面直接接數字和單位即可。

×Can you measure the wide of the door?

Can you measure the width of the door?

'wide' 是形容詞,用來描述狀態。要表達「寬度」這個名詞概念,必須使用 'width'。

×The room has a 3-meter width.

The room is 3 meters in width. / The width of the room is 3 meters.

雖然 'a 3-meter width' 在文法上並非完全錯誤,但在描述具體物體的尺寸時,使用 'in width' 或 'The width of... is...' 的結構更為自然和常見。

×The width and the length of the box are same.

The width and the length of the box are the same.

在比較時,'same' 前面必須要有定冠詞 'the'。

×This software can adjust the width of columns.

This software can adjust the column width.

在複合名詞中,常將被修飾的名詞(如 column)放在前面,測量名詞(如 width)放在後面,形成 'column width'、'road width'、'fabric width' 等更簡潔的說法。使用 'the width of the columns' 雖然正確,但較不簡潔。
