常见错误

❌ 错误:I folded the paper to two parts.
✓ 正确:I folded the paper in half.

中文习惯说“折成两部分”,但英语中 fold 表示折叠时,常用 in half(对折)或 into parts(折成几部分),直接说 to two parts 不自然。

❌ 错误:The business was folded because no profit.
✓ 正确:The business folded due to lack of profit.

fold 作为不及物动词表示“失败”或“关闭”时,通常用主动语态,如 The business folded,而不是被动语态 was folded;原因可用 due to 或 because of 引导。

近义词辨析

bend

bend 强调使物体弯曲或变形,通常不涉及对折或重叠,而 fold 特指将物体的一部分叠到另一部分上,形成折痕。

Bend the wire into a circle, but fold the paper into a square.

collapse

collapse 指突然倒下或坍缩,常因结构失效,而 fold 作为动词表示失败时,更强调 gradual 或 planned 的终止,如业务关闭。
