註:介詞 with 後面應用名詞作介詞的受詞;angry 是形容詞,anger 是名詞。
2. 他過分客氣,沒表示意見。
ˇ He is over modest and withholds his opinion.

χ He is over modesty and withholds his opinion.
註:modesty 是名詞,modest 是形容詞,描寫或修飾主詞,應以形容詞作補語。
3. 我對你的作品印象非常深刻。
ˇ I am very impressed with your work.
χ I am much impressed with your work.
註:much 修飾動詞,very 修飾副詞或形容詞, 所以這句應用 very。試比較:
I am very fond of dancing.
I like dancing very much.
4. 她看起來很高興。
ˇ She looks very happy.
χ She looks very happily.
註:be, look, smell, taste 等詞用作連繫動詞時,後面只能接形容詞、代名詞作補語。試比較:
He looks greedy.
He looked greedily at the money.(此句中 looked 為一般動詞,意為「看著」,不作連繫動詞用。)
下列句子中的錯誤屬同類性質:
ˇ The table feels smooth.
χ The table feels smoothly.
ˇ All the data has been wiped clean.
χ All the data has been wiped cleanly.
5. 如果你不能保持安靜,請你離開。
ˇ If you can’t keep quiet, please leave.
χ If you can’t keep quietly, please leave.
註:這裏 keep 表示狀態,作連繫動詞,後面應用形容詞quiet,不用副詞 quietly。其他的例子如下:
My mother doesn’t like to sit idle.
The child sat still for quite a long while.
Completely taken aback, he stood mute.
In the evening he came home tired.

Its elevated position allows one to take in the bustling Kaohsiung Harbor to the east and the dazzling sunset over Sizihwan Bay to the west. This elegant red-brick building also serves as a portal to the city’s rich history. Interestingly, for 70 years, many people mistakenly identified this residence as the actual consulate.

In addition to the port, the city has emerged as a major player in another world-class maritime industry—yacht manufacturing, responsible for producing 80 percent of all Taiwan-made yachts. The yacht industry in Taiwan originated in the post-World War II era, when the US military presence in Taiwan provided local boat builders with guidance on making wooden yachts. The resulting craftsmanship was so exquisite that orders soon poured in. In 1977, Taiwan replaced Canada as the main yacht
