用法筆記
Harm as a verb is more formal than hurt and is preferred in legal, medical, and environmental writing. For everyday physical pain (e.g. cutting your finger), use hurt instead of harm. This is the -ing (present participle) form, used in continuous tenses: 'is harming', 'was harming', 'has been harming'.
