我的個性很活潑。
(X) My personality is very active.
(O)I am an outgoing person. / I have an energetic personality.
問題:
"Active"主要指「行動活躍」,用來形容個性外向時用"outgoing" 或"energetic"。
Outgoing是指外向,善於結交朋友,Energetic是很有活動,正能量。
例如:
- I am outgoing and makes friends easily.(我很外向,容易交朋友。)
- He's very energetic, isn't he, for a man of his age? (就這個年齡的人來說,他算很有活力了。)
我每天早上會「開」手機來查看郵件。
(X) I will open my mobile phone to check emails every morning.
(O) I turn on my mobile phone to check emails every morning.
問題:
"打開"電器,用”turn on”或”power on”。開門、開窗、開帳戶…才用open。
例句:
- I'm going to open an account with another bank. (我打算在另一家銀行開一個帳戶。)
- Who turned the TV on?(誰開了電視?)
我有很多工作經驗。
(X) I have many work experience.
(O) I have a lot of work experience.
(O) I have extensive experience in my field.
問題:
"Experience" 是不可數名詞,不能說 "many experience",應該使用 "a lot of" 或 "extensive" 來修飾。
例句:
- "I have a lot of work experience in project management."(我在專案管理方面有豐富的工作經驗。)
- "I have extensive experience in customer service."(我在客戶服務方面有豐富的經驗。)
我9點下班。
(X) I go off work at 9 PM.
(O) I get off work at 9 PM.
問題:
"Go off"這個片語通常指「爆炸」或「響起」,所以說"I will go off work"會讓人誤會你要「爆炸下班」?正確的說法是"get off work"。
我習慣在壓力下工作。
(X) I am used to work under pressure.
(O) I am used to working under pressure.
問題:
"Used to"+動詞應該用動名詞 (V-ing),而不能直接接原形動詞。
例句:
- "I thrive in high-pressure environments."
我從2019年開始加入這家公司。
(X)I joined this company since 2019.
(O)I have been working at this company since 2019.
問題:
"Since"不能直接和"joined"搭配,因為"join"是一個瞬間動作,應該用現在完成進行式來表示持續的狀態。
例句:
- "I have been with this company since 2019."
我3點見面很方便。
(X)I am convenient to meet at 3PM.
(O)3PM works for me. / I am available at 3PM.
問題:
"Convenient"不能用來形容「人」,應該說"available"或"works for me"。
