×He wronged the answer.
✓He got the answer wrong.
「wrong」作為動詞時,意思是「冤枉、不公正對待」,而不是「答錯」。表達「答錯」應該用「get something wrong」或「answer incorrectly」。
×She wronged to accuse him.
✓She was wrong to accuse him. / It was wrong of her to accuse him.
「wrong」作為動詞時,後面直接接受詞(某人),表示冤枉某人。要表達「做某事是錯的」,應使用形容詞「wrong」的結構「be wrong to do something」或「It is wrong of someone to do something」。
×They felt wronged by the decision.
✓They felt the decision was wrong.
「feel wronged」意思是「感覺被冤枉/被不公正對待」,主詞必須是「人」。如果想表達「覺得某個決定/事情是錯的」,應該用「feel (that) something is wrong」。原句錯誤地將「decision」作為「wronged」的邏輯主詞。
×History will wrong him.
✓History will prove him wrong. / History will judge him harshly.
「wrong」作為動詞,主詞通常是「人」或「機構」,表示具體的冤枉行為。用抽象名詞「history」作為主詞不自然。想表達「歷史將證明他是錯的」或「歷史將給予他不公的評價」,應使用更合適的動詞如「prove wrong」或「judge」。
×Don't wrong on me.
✓Don't wrong me. / Don't do me wrong.
動詞「wrong」是及物動詞,後面直接接受詞,不需要介系詞「on」。口語中也有固定片語「do someone wrong」(冤枉某人)。
×I don't want to wrong.
✓I don't want to be in the wrong. / I don't want to do wrong.
動詞「wrong」必須有受詞。想表達「我不想犯錯」或「我不想理虧」,應使用片語「be in the wrong」(理虧、有過錯)或「do wrong」(做壞事、犯錯)。
