■事故往往起因于粗心。
誤:Accidents often arise in carelessness.
正:Accidents often arise from carelessness.
析:表示“起源于”、“起因于”,arise 后通常接介詞 from 或 out of。
■有需要時就使用這筆錢。
誤:Use this money when the need is arisen.
正:Use this money when the need arises.
析:arise(出現,發生)是不及物動詞,沒有被動語態。另外 when the need arises 是一個常用結構,也可說成 Should the need arise。如:Should the need arise for extra staff, we will contact you.(如果還另外需要人員,我們將與你聯 系)。
