將用法歸納出來
文法來看,兩個字後面都可以加上 Noun 或 Verb-ing (動名詞)
prevent 片語是 prevent … from … 預防某事的發生,avoid 則沒有固定片語喔!
prevent 有「事先」積極預防避免的意思,avoid 則是被動避開、躲開的意味較重
常見用法多注意
prevent 疾病、事前預防某事的發生
avoid someone,避開、躲某人,注意
prevent someone沒有躲避的意思!慣用字:avoid the traffic, avoid someone, prevent something from happening, prevent a disease
⭐️聰明人補充:prevent … from … = keep … from … 兩用法類似,可以互相輔助。例如:Keep children away from the medicine. The bottle can prevent children from opening it. 將小孩遠離於藥品,瓶身可避免孩童打開。
interrupt 打斷
a conversation is heating up 指對話有火藥味、升溫
excess 過度的、過多的
exposure 曝光
