用法筆記

Subject is usually an inanimate noun — reports, statements, numbers, data, accounts. This sense cannot refer to people; use Sense 1 (DIFFER IN OPINION) instead. Also rarely used in the continuous (progressive) form: it sounds unnatural to say 'the reports are disagreeing.'

常見錯誤

The two witnesses are disagreeing about the time.
The two witnesses disagree about the time.
For this sense, the simple present or past is preferred; the continuous form sounds odd.

❌ 'My brother and I disagree about the budget figures.' — This is actually correct, but it uses Sense 1 (people differing in opinion). If you mean two sets of numbers are different, use an inanimate subject: 'The budget figures disagree.'
