跟 IVY 熊學 Lose 的 5 種用法
以上五種，學會了嗎？一起來看看更多 lose 搭配詞用法！
✦ 會使用到 lose 搭配詞的 11 種常見時機 ：
1 表達物理上的損失：
lose face 丟臉
lose weight 減重
lose money 虧損金錢，失去財富
lose your life 失去生命，死亡
- He didn't want to apologize and lose face in front of his colleagues.（他不想在同事面前道歉並失去面子。）
- In some cultures, making mistakes in public can cause someone to lose face.（在某些文化中，公開犯錯可能會讓人失去面子。）
- She's been working out regularly to lose weight.（她一直規律運動以減肥。）
- He invested in a risky venture and ended up losing a lot of money.（他投資了一個風險高的企業，最終損失了很多錢。）
- Sadly, many people lost their lives in the natural disaster.（不幸的是，許多人在自然災害中喪生了。）
2 失去聯繫：
lose touch 失去聯繫
- We used to be close friends, but we lost touch after college.（我們曾是好朋友，但大學畢業後失去了聯繫。）
lose contact 失去聯繫
lose contact with sb 與某人失去聯繫
- After college, they lost contact for many years.（大學畢業後，他們失去了很多年的聯繫。）
- I lost contact with my childhood best friend after she moved away.（我的童年好友搬走後，我與她失去了聯繫。）
英文小貼士：在某些情況下，「lose touch」和「lose contact」可以表達相似的意思，但在使用上有些微的差異。「lose touch」通常指的是失去與某人的交流或聯繫，可能暗示這種缺乏聯繫是出於雙方的選擇或情況。這可能是因為雙方時間或距離的改變，或是因為久未聯絡而失去彼此間的熟悉感。「lose contact」則更強調失去與某人之間的直接聯繫或溝通管道。這可以指明失去了電話號碼、郵件地址等聯絡資訊，因而無法直接與對方取得聯繫。雖然這兩個用法有相似之處，但「lose contact」更偏向失去直接聯繫的可能性，而「lose touch」則可能更廣泛地指涉與某人之間的疏離或交流中斷。
3 失去控制：
lose control 失去對⋯⋯的控制
lose your grip 失去控制，失去支配權
- He started to lose control of the situation when emotions ran high.（當情緒高漲時，他開始失去對局勢的控制。）
