用法說明

wise to do vs. wise doing
- wise to do 是最常見且標準的用法，表示「做某事是明智的」。它通常用於描述一個具體的、建議性的行動。
- wise doing 在現代標準英語中極少使用，聽起來不自然或過時。它試圖將 "wise" 作為形容詞直接修飾動名詞，但並非慣用表達。
- 正確的結構是 It is wise to + 動詞原形 或 Someone is wise to + 動詞原形。
- 避免使用 "wise + V-ing" 的結構，應改用 "wise to + V"。 EN: It is wise to save money for the future. 翻譯: 為未來儲蓄是明智的。
EN:He was wise to accept the job offer.
翻譯:他接受那份工作邀請是明智的。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Wise"?Which "Wise" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He is a very wise person. He always wises.
✓He is a very wise person. He always gives wise advice.
混淆形容詞 "wise"（明智的）與動詞 "wise"（使知道）。"wise" 作動詞時不表示「表現得明智」，而是「告知、使知道」或「察覺」的意思，且通常與介系詞 "up" 連用。形容詞 "wise" 才是描述人聰明、有智慧。
×You need to wise about the new company policy.
✓You need to wise up about the new company policy.
動詞 "wise" 在表示「瞭解、察覺」時，是片語動詞 "wise up"，必須加上介副詞 "up"，不能單獨使用 "wise"。
×Can you wise me? I don't understand the rules.
✓Can you wise me up? I don't understand the rules.
動詞 "wise" 在及物用法中，必須以 "wise someone up (to something)" 的形式出現，表示「告知某人、使某人瞭解」。不能直接說 "wise someone"。
×He wised about the scam last week.
✓He wised up to the scam last week.
動詞 "wise" 的過去式與過去分詞為 "wised"，但同樣必須與 "up" 連用。同時，注意時態的一致性。
×Please wise the details to the manager.
✓Please inform the manager of the details.
動詞 "wise"（通常為 "wise up"）在語體上較為口語和非正式，且用法受限。在正式或書面場合，表示「通知、告知」應使用 "inform", "notify", "tell" 等更通用的動詞。
×We need to clockwise our strategy.
✓We need to rethink our strategy wisely.
後綴 "-wise" 可以加在名詞後形成副詞，表示「在...方面」（如 "timewise", "moneywise"），但這是一個衍生用法，不能將 "wise" 直接當作動詞後綴來創造新動詞（如 "clockwise" 是名詞「順時針方向」或形容詞/副詞「順時針的/地」）。表達「明智地做某事」應使用副詞 "wisely"。
