用法筆記

Frequently used with adverbs like "completely", "suddenly", "mysteriously", or with prepositional phrases introduced by "from" (the place it left) or "into" (the substance that hides it). Never takes a direct object — for a transitive meaning use "make something vanish".

常見錯誤

✅The magician made the rabbit vanish.
💡vanish is always intransitive and cannot take a direct object.
❌She vanished from the room when I turned around.
✅She had vanished from the room when I turned around.
💡the past perfect is more natural for a disappearance that happened before the speaker noticed it.
