英語的學習就和漢語一樣博大精深啊~不少來澳洲生活了好多年的小夥伴都發現其實英語的學習並沒有想像中那麼難,只要你找到方法,多跟著聽說讀寫,其實英語的提高就在明天啦~但是我們經常自己認為用的很順的英語句子,難道真的沒出錯嗎?
下面布丁就來給小夥伴們做個簡單的例子,來我們先來看看下面的這封郵件:
Dear Mr. Clark,
For the project we discussed about yesterday, we really appreciate for your precious suggestions. As you mentioned, it is truly a disaster that the product’s appearance lacked of beauty. We will emphasize on the colouring and texture, making it more elegant and smoother. You also mentioned about the package design. We are now considering to redesign it to make it more compact. The new prototype of the product should reach at your company before next Friday. Please feel free to contact with me if there are any further questions. It is our responsibility to make the product approach to perfection.
Sincerely yours,
Jack
細心的童鞋們有木有看出來這封郵件的問題呢?這位傑克兄也是很慘啊,在他發送給客戶這封郵件的隔天,客戶就取消了合作。到底為什麼呢?這封Email 的禮儀上沒有什麼問題,那到底是哪邊出了差錯呢?原來!是語法錯太多了,口口聲聲說要將客戶的產品做到最好,結果連寫信都寫不好,難怪會失去客戶的信任呢~啊~可憐的傑克~
下面我們來看看這些詞到底如何使用吧~
Discuss 是及物動詞 (transitive verb) ,後面不能加 about 或其他介系詞。還有另一個幫助記憶的方法是:discuss = talk about
E.g.:Experts gathered at 2015 World Climate Summit to discuss the global warming issue.專家們在 2015 世界氣候高峰會討論了全球暖化的問題。
Appreciate 是及物動詞,後面不能加 for 或其他介係詞。
E.g. :I really appreciate your support throughout the hard time.
真的很感謝你在這段艱困的日子裡伸出援手。
Lack 是及物動詞,後面不能加 of 或其他介系詞。但我怎麼覺得 lack of 這個用法很熟悉呢?那是因為當 lack 為名詞時的時候,後面就要加 of 。
E.g. :He has great basketball skills, but the lack of confidence always makes him lose the game.
他擁有高超的籃球技巧,但缺乏自信導致他總是輸了比賽。
Emphasize 後面不能加 on 或其他介係詞。但如果是作為名詞的時候就要接 on 。
E.g. :I want to emphasize my sense of aesthetics by making my resume pretty.
I want to put emphasis on my sense of aesthetics by making my resume pretty.
mention 不管是什麼詞性,後面都不能加 about 或其他介係詞哦!
E.g. :We have corrected the error you mentioned yesterday.
我們已經把你昨天提到的錯誤修正了。
Consider 一般來說直接加名詞就好,後面要加東西的話比較常見的有兩種用法: consider A to be B 和 consider + Ving 。
E.g. :I will carefully consider the options he gave.
我會仔細考慮他給我的選項。
He is considering studying abroad for graduate school.
他在考慮出國念研究所。
若要表示到達的話, reach 後面直接加名詞就可以了,但要注意如果是用 arrive 的話就要加 at ,兩者不要搞混了!
E.g. :The plane I’m taking tonight will reach Seattle at 5 p.m. tomorrow.
The plane I’m taking tonight will arrive at Seattle at 5 p.m. tomorrow.
我今晚搭的飛機會在明天下午五點抵達西雅圖。
contact是及物動詞,後面不能加 with 或其他介係詞。除非當作名詞時才要加 with 。
E.g. :You can contact me anytime during office hours if you have any questions about the documents.
如果你對於文件有任何問題,在上班時間內隨時可以打來問我。
I lost contact with my elementary school friends a long time ago.
我跟國小同學很久以前就失聯了。
approach 為動詞時不能加 to ,但如果要表達「門路」或「方法」的話,就要將詞性變為名詞,這時候就要加 to。
E.g. :When temperature approaches zero degree Celsius, water begins to freeze.
當溫度接近攝氏零度時,水就開始結冰了。
There are many approaches to a successful life.
要活出成功的人生有很多種方式。
哈哈,小夥伴們get到了這些正確用法了嗎,快看看正確的主體版本應該怎麼寫吧:
For the project we discussed yesterday, we really appreciate your precious suggestions. Like you said, it is truly a disaster that the product’s appearance lacked beauty. We will emphasize thecolouring and texture, making it more elegant and smoother. You also mentioned the package design. We are now considering redesigning it to make it more compact. The new prototype of the product should reach your company before next Friday. Please feel free to contact me if there are any further questions.
