文章編號:G4-004

G4-003A組成B及B是由A組成的英文如何使用?一口氣學會A組成B/B是由A組成的英文用法文章提到「A組成B」可用A make up B來表達

換言之,如果要說「B由A組成」時,就換成被動態句子,用B be made up of A來表達

而學了片語be made up of後,常常有學生就會聯想到那be made of和be made from的意思呢?


更有甚者,或許還有人可能會想到be made out of/ be made with/ be made into這三個片語。


的確,這些片語很相似,都是be made接上不同介係詞而來的,不同介系詞就能傳達出不同含義,足見英文世界中介系詞的奧妙

這幾個常見的相關片語都是許多人會不小心混淆的片語,而這篇文章日光英文就一次破解這六個惱人的相似片語吧,讓你一下搞懂這些片語差在哪~

 

常混淆片語#1 be made up of:某東西由不同部分和零件組成
 

E.g.: The car is made up of different steel parts. 「車子是由不同的鋼鐵零件組成.」

E.g.: Everything is made up of atoms, and atoms are made up of three tiny particles: protons, electrons, and neutrons. 「所有東西都是由原子組成,而原子是由三種小粒子組成:質子 、電子跟中子.」


這片語本身可以代換成其他片語,詳見G4-003A組成B及B是由A組成的英文如何使用?一口氣學會A組成B/B是由A組成的英文用法

 

常混淆片語#2 be made of:某東西由某種材質組成,且可以從該東西上看出材質本身,有的英文老師會用「物理變化」這概念來解釋這片語的用法。

E.g.: The car is made of steel. 「這車子是鋼鐵做的.」

E.g.: The table is made of wood. 「這桌子是木頭做的.」

E.g.: The ice sculptures are made of ice. 「這些冰雕作品是冰做的.」

(從車子看得出來有鋼鐵板,從桌子看得出來木頭本身,冰雕看就知道是冰,這些成品都能看出材質本身,故用be made of這片語.)

常混淆片語#3 be made from: 某東西是由某材質做的,但已經無法從該東西上看出材質本身了有的英文老師會用「化學變化」來解釋這片語的用法,但其實不一定那材質有真的經過化學變化,重點是要強調那材質的原貌在成品上已經看不出來了。

E.g.: Wine is made from grapes.  「酒是葡萄做的.」

(這過程需要發酵,的確是經歷了化學變化.而光從酒本身的確看不出葡萄的原貌.)


E.g.: Paper is made from trees. 「紙是樹做出來的。」


(木材粉碎成紙漿,紙漿過濾成紙的過程嚴格來說是物理變化,真要說有化學變化,頂多就是加入漂白劑.但光從紙本身的確很難看出樹的原貌.)

E.g.: This expensive suit is made from pure silk. 「這件很貴的西裝是純絲做的。」


(蠶寶寶吐絲,絲紡成布,布縫成西裝,沒有牽涉到什麼化學變化,但蠶絲變成西裝,已經看不出來蠶絲本身的樣貌了)


E.g.: A cake is made from flour, sugar, and other ingredients. 「蛋糕是由麵粉 、糖跟其他食材做成的。」


(麵粉加糖及其他食材混一混做成蛋糕,僅是物理變化,但從蛋糕本身已看不出麵粉跟糖或其他食材的原貌了。)

 

常混淆片語#4 be made out of:某東西由某零件和材質做成,而這片語重點不放在是由部分零件還是材質去組成某東西,或是從成品中看不看得出來材質本身.重點是要強調這組成零件或材質原本設定的用途已經被大幅轉變了
 

E.g.: This pair of flip-flops is made out of plastic bottles recycled from the beach. 「這雙夾腳拖是從海灘回收來的塑膠瓶做的.」

E.g.: French car maker Citroen has revealed a new car concept, that is, a 
car made out of cardboard! 「法國車廠雪鐵龍已經推出一款新的製車概念,要用紙板造車!」

(塑膠瓶做成夾腳拖,還有紙板做成車子,是不是很顛覆性的概念呀?為了強調原本的材質所設定的用途被大幅轉變了,故上述例句用be made out of這片語.不然上述兩個例句,用be made from改寫也是可以的。)

 

常混淆片語#5 be made with:專門講某食物和飲料由某成分做成所以上面提到蛋糕的例句要用更道地的英文是要寫成...
 

E.g.: A cake is made with flour, sugar, and other ingredients. 「蛋糕是由麵粉 、糖跟其他食材做成的。」

E.g.: Traditional Spanish sangria is made with red wine, water, herbs, spices, and fruits. 「傳統的西班牙水果酒是由紅酒、 水、 藥草、 香料跟水果作成的。」

 

常混淆片語#6 be made into: 某材質和素材被做成某物。

E.g.: Wood is made into paper or a table. 「木頭被做成紙或桌子.」

E.g.: This novel has been made into movies a couple of times. 
「這部電影已經兩三次被拍成電影了.」
