想問同事「你明天方便嗎」,你是不是脫口說 Are you convenient tomorrow?中文的「方便」可以說人,但英文 convenient 只能形容時間、事情、地點,人只能放在 for 後面——Is that convenient for you? 更自然的是 Does that work for you? / Is this a good time?。這集用跟同事約開會時間的情境,拆掉三個最常直翻錯的「方便」句,教你 available、work for、a good time、when works for you 怎麼用。 ▶ 完整逐字稿、重點單字、句型: https://mjenglishclass.com/daily-english/en-convenient ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔓 解鎖無廣告+完整內容,支持 VIP 訂閱: Apple|https://apple.co/4rYiYa7 Spotify|https://sptfy.bio/mjenglish 📚 推薦教材:賴世雄獨門英文文法心法+圖表+練習 👉 https://s.shopee.tw/AKO1JfgYp4 ☕ 請我們喝杯咖啡: https://p.ecpay.com.tw/E34AEEA ━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🗣️ 情境對話 Dialogue 場景:Rachel 剛到美國公司,要跟同事 Eric 約下週的專案會議;她把中文的「方便」直接搬進英文,Eric 一邊約時間一邊糾正。 Rachel: Hey Eric, I want to set up the project meeting. Are you convenient next Tuesday? (嘿 Eric,我想約專案會議。你下週二方便嗎?(中文腦直翻,convenient 不能拿人當主詞)) Eric: Ha, you mean, does Tuesday work for me? Yeah, Tuesday's fine. What time? (哈,你是想問「週二我可以嗎」吧?可以啊,週二沒問題。幾點?) Rachel: Ten in the morning? Or if that's bad, I'm also convenient in the afternoon. (早上十點?如果不行,我下午也方便。(又把人當主詞了)) Eric: Quick fix: we'd say I'm also free in the afternoon, or the afternoon works too. Convenient is for the time, not the person. (小修一下:我們會說「我下午也有空」或「下午也可以」。convenient 是形容時間,不是形容人。) Rachel: Oh! So I say the time is convenient, not that I am convenient. (喔!所以是「時間」方便,不是「我」方便。) Eric: Exactly. Like, is ten convenient for you? The time is convenient, and you come after for. (沒錯。像「Is ten convenient for you?」——方便的是時間,人放在 for 後面。) Rachel: Got it. Is ten convenient for you, then? (懂了。那十點對你來說方便嗎?) Eric: Ten works. Let's grab the small room on the second floor. It's more convenient, right next to our desks. (十點可以。我們用二樓那間小會議室吧,比較方便,就在我們座位旁邊。) Rachel: Perfect. And if something comes up, I'll just say that doesn't work for me, instead of I'm not convenient. (太好了。之後要是有事,我就說「那樣我不行」,不再說「我不方便」了。) Eric: Now you sound like you've been here for years. (這樣聽起來就像已經在這裡待好幾年了。) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 重點單字 convenient/kənˈviːniənt/方便的(形容時間、事情、地點,不形容人) work for/wɜːrk fɔːr/(時間、安排)對某人來說可以 available/əˈveɪləbl/有空的 free/friː/有空的(口語) a good time/ə ɡʊd taɪm/(適合的)時機 set up/set ʌp/安排(會議、約會) come up/kʌm ʌp/(事情)突然發生、臨時有事 at your convenience/æt jʊr kənˈviːniəns/在你方便的時候(正式用語) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💡 重點句型 Sentence Patterns 問對方方不方便 → Does … work for you? / Is … convenient for you? 例:Does Tuesday work for you?(週二你可以嗎?) 現在方便嗎 → Is this a good time? 例:Is this a good time to talk?(現在方便講話嗎?) 說自己不方便 → I'm not available / That doesn't work for me 例:I'm not available tomorrow.(我明天沒空。) 問什麼時候方便 → When works for you? 例:When works for you?(你什麼時候可以?) 「方便的話」→ if it's not too much trouble / when you get a chance 例:If it's not too much trouble, could you send me the file?(方便的話,可以把檔案傳給我嗎?) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚦 下次這樣說 Next Time ① 問對方方不方便 ❌ Are you convenient tomorrow? ✅ Does tomorrow work for you? ② 說自己不方便 ❌ I'm not convenient tomorrow. ✅ I'm not available tomorrow. ③ 問什麼時候方便 ❌ When are you convenient? ✅ When works for you? ----以下為 SoundOn 動態廣告---- 你家地價稅也能省嗎?自用住宅用地優惠稅率至少可省4倍! 符合自住規定,記得在9月22日前提出申請,核准後今年就能適用! 線上申請 → https://sofm.pse.is/9lzhzr 下載財政部統一發票兌獎APP 設定領獎帳戶,中獎獎金自動匯入! 高雄市稅捐處廣告 -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
