用法說明
How is "Wind" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Wind"?
wind up doing vs wind up to do
- "wind up doing" 表示最終（通常是意外或非自願地）做了某事，強調結果。
- "wind up to do" 在標準用法中並不正確。"wind up" 作為動詞片語，其後通常接動名詞 (V-ing) 或名詞，表示結束或最終處於某種狀態。
- 若要表達「為了做某事而準備/蓄力」，應使用其他動詞，如 "prepare to do" 或 "get ready to do"。 EN: After arguing for hours, we wound up ordering pizza. 翻譯: 爭論了好幾個小時後，我們最後還是叫了披薩。
EN:He wound up working late again, despite his plans to leave early.
翻譯:儘管他計劃早走，但最後還是加班到很晚。
總結建議
使用 "wind up doing" 來描述最終發生的結果，避免使用 "wind up to do" 的結構。

停頓填充
在思考接下來要說什麼或描述一個漫長、迂迴的過程時，作為口語中的暫停填充詞。 EN: The road just... winds... and winds through the mountains forever. 翻譯: 那條路就只是…蜿蜒…不斷地在山裡繞來繞去。
EN:So then we had to wind our way through... uh... all these tiny back streets.
翻譯:所以我們當時必須穿過…呃…所有這些狹小的後巷。
正式寫作注意：在正式或學術寫作中，應避免將 "wind" 用作停頓填充詞（如第三類用法）。描述具體的「纏繞」或「蜿蜒」動作時，也建議使用更精確的動詞（如 coil, twist, meander, zigzag），而非過於口語化的 "wind" 或 "wind up"。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Wind"?Which "Wind" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×The wind is winding strongly today.
✓The wind is blowing strongly today.
混淆了名詞 'wind'（風）和動詞 'wind'（纏繞、上發條）。當想表達「風在吹」時，應使用動詞 'blow'。動詞 'wind' 主要表示纏繞、蜿蜒或上發條的動作。
×He winded the clock yesterday.
✓He wound the clock yesterday.
動詞 'wind' 的過去式和過去分詞是不規則變化 'wound'（發音 /waʊnd/），不是規則變化 'winded'。'Winded' 通常只用於描述「使喘不過氣」的語境（如：The run winded me.）。
×We need to wind the meeting.
✓We need to wind up the meeting.
表達「結束（某事）」時，必須使用片語動詞 'wind up'，不能單獨使用 'wind'。單獨的 'wind' 沒有「結束」的意思。
×Please wind (/wɪnd/) the rope. (使用名詞的發音)
✓Please wind (/waɪnd/) the rope.
動詞 'wind'（纏繞、蜿蜒）的發音是 /waɪnd/，與名詞 'wind'（風，發音 /wɪnd/）不同。混淆發音會導致誤解。
×You should wind before storing the hose.
✓You should wind up the hose before storing it.
動詞 'wind' 通常是及物動詞，需要接賓語（除非上下文非常清楚）。表達「把某物捲起來」時，需要明確指出捲繞的對象。
×After work, I like to wind to relax.
✓After work, I like to wind down to relax.
表達「（使）逐步結束」或「放鬆下來」時，應使用片語動詞 'wind down'。單獨的 'wind' 沒有這個意思。
