常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Zoom"?Which "Zoom" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I zoomed the camera.
✓I zoomed in with the camera. / I zoomed the camera in.
「zoom」作為動詞通常需要搭配介系詞（如 in/out）來表達放大或縮小的方向，或使用「zoom + 受詞 + in/out」的結構。單獨使用「zoomed the camera」語意不完整。
×The car zoomed on the highway.
✓The car zoomed along/down the highway.
描述車輛快速移動時，「zoom」通常需搭配適當的介系詞（如 along, down, past, through）來指出移動的路徑或方向。
×We will zoom meeting tomorrow.
✓We will have a Zoom meeting tomorrow. / We will meet on Zoom tomorrow.
「Zoom」作為視訊軟體名稱時是專有名詞，應大寫，且通常作為名詞使用（如 a Zoom meeting/call），或與介系詞「on」搭配（meet on Zoom）。不應將其直接當作一般動詞「開會」使用。
×Prices zoomed last year.
✓Prices zoomed up last year. / Prices soared/skyrocketed last year.
用「zoom」描述價格快速上漲時，必須搭配「up」以明確表達「向上飆升」的方向。單獨使用「zoomed」語意不清。
×She zoomed to finish her homework.
✓She zoomed through her homework. / She finished her homework quickly.
「zoom」用於表示快速完成某事時，常與「through」連用，表示「快速處理/穿越某事物」。直接接不定詞「to finish」不符合慣用搭配。
