用法說明
How is "Wine" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Wine"?
wine and dine vs. wine
- wine and dine 是一個固定片語動詞，意思是「用美食美酒款待（某人）」，強調的是提供奢華或特別的餐飲體驗以取悅他人。
- 單獨的動詞 wine 較為少見，意思更直接，指「請（某人）喝酒」或「（自己）喝酒」，不一定包含用餐或款待的完整情境。
- 在現代用法中，wine and dine 是最常見且自然的表達方式，用於描述商務應酬、約會或特殊款待。單獨使用 wine 作動詞可能聽起來較為古老或文謅謅。 EN: The company wined and dined the potential investors at a fancy restaurant. 翻譯: 公司在高級餐廳用美酒佳餚款待了潛在投資者。
EN:In the old novel, the nobleman would wine his guests before dinner.
翻譯:在這本老小說裡，貴族會在晚餐前請客人飲酒。

引述
在對話中，引述他人說過的話或想法時，常用 be like 來代替 say 或 think，語氣更生動、非正式。
EN: And then she was like, "I can't believe you did that!"
翻譯: 然後她就說：「我真不敢相信你做了那種事！」
EN:When I saw the price, I was like, "No way, that's too expensive."
翻譯:當我看到價格時，我心想：「不可能，這太貴了。」
語氣強調
like 可用來強調接下來的描述，或表示一種誇張、不精確的語氣，使表達更戲劇化。
EN: The party was, like, the best night of my life.
翻譯: 那場派對簡直就是我人生中最棒的夜晚。
EN:He ran, like, super fast to catch the bus.
翻譯:他跑得超快，就為了趕上公車。
停頓填充
在組織思緒或尋找合適詞語時，like 常作為填充詞，表示短暫停頓，尤其在年輕族群的口語中非常普遍。
EN: So I was going to the store, and, like, I realized I forgot my wallet.
翻譯: 所以我當時正要去商店，然後，呃，我發現我忘了帶錢包。
EN:It's, like, not a big deal, but still kind of annoying.
翻譯:這其實，嗯，沒什麼大不了的，但還是有點煩人。
正式書寫注意：上述所有口語用法中的 like 在正式寫作、學術報告或商業文件中都應避免使用。在正式文體中，應使用更精確的動詞（如 said, thought, exclaimed）或直接刪除填充詞，以保持語言的嚴謹與清晰。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Wine"?Which "Wine" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×We wined the guests.
✓We wined and dined the guests.
The verb 'wine' is almost always used in the fixed phrase 'wine and dine' when referring to entertaining someone with food and drink. Using 'wine' alone as a transitive verb in this context is unnatural.
×He is wining at the party.
✓He is drinking wine at the party.
'Wine' as a verb does not mean the continuous action of drinking wine. It specifically means to entertain with wine or to drink wine, often in a formal or celebratory context. For the simple act of drinking, use 'drink wine'.
×Let's wine this bottle.
✓Let's drink this bottle of wine.
'Wine' as a verb cannot take a bottle as its direct object. The object of 'wine' is typically a person being entertained (e.g., 'wine someone'). To consume a specific bottle, use 'drink'.
×She wined about her problems.
✓She whined about her problems.
This is a confusion of homophones. 'Wine' (飲酒作樂) and 'whine' (抱怨、哀鳴) sound the same but have completely different meanings and spellings.
×I will wine you tomorrow.
✓I will treat you to wine (and a meal) tomorrow. / I will wine and dine you tomorrow.
Using 'wine' as a simple future action verb is awkward and unclear. The meaning is better expressed with the full idiom 'wine and dine' or a more descriptive phrase.
