註：認為某人或某事為何等樣人或何等樣事，可用 think＋受詞＋受詞補語，或 think of ... as ...，正句第一句比第二句普遍些。用了 of，後面用 as；沒有 of，就不可以用 as。又如：

2. 你不應該打擾他休息。
ˇ You should not intrude upon him during his time off.
χ You should not intrude him during his time off.
註：intrude 作「闖進」、「打擾」、「侵入」解時，是不及物動詞，後面跟 upon。
3. 男孩正在玩陀螺。
ˇ The boy is playing with his top.
χ The boy is playing his top.
註：「打球」、「踢球」、「打牌」、「下棋」，「玩扯鈴」用 play，不用 play with，如 play tennis/football/cards/chess/ Chinese yo-yo。
有時用 play at，如 play at chess。這裡 tennis、cards 等是指運動遊戲而言，至於玩某種東西則應用 play with。例如：
The boy is playing with a stick.
The little girl likes to play with a doll.
這裡 a stick、a doll 表示玩具。

ˇ After a brief break they went on with their work.
χ After a brief break they went on their work.
註：go on 後面接名詞時，應加 with。例如：

go on 是不及物動詞，on 是副詞，不是介詞。例如：
Go on, please.
He went on reading and never gave us so much as a nod.（他繼續看書，連頭都不向我們點一下。）（注意：這裡的 reading 是分詞，不是動名詞。）
