用法說明

How is "Wrong" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Wrong"?

wrong doing vs wrong to do

  • wrong 作為形容詞,後面接動名詞(doing)時,通常描述一個被認為是錯誤的、不道德的「行為」或「事實」。
  • wrong 作為形容詞,後面接不定詞(to do)時,通常用於評論一個特定的「行動」或「決定」是錯誤的,常帶有評價或判斷的語氣。
  • 在「It is wrong...」的句型中,兩種結構都可能出現,但 wrong doing 偏向陳述普遍事實,而 wrong to do 則針對具體情況。 EN: Stealing is wrong doing. 翻譯: 偷竊是錯誤的行為。

EN:It was wrong to take the money without asking.

翻譯:不問一聲就把錢拿走是不對的。

EN:He felt that lying was wrong doing in any situation.

常見錯誤

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

×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)。
