大家好！上週我們提到，以下三個字哪個是對的？
1. sometime
2. sometimes
3. some time
大家想好了嗎？我們來解答了～
1. sometime（Ｏ）
2. sometimes（Ｏ）
3. some time（Ｏ）
都對，以上皆是。
什麼？真的是這樣嗎？上周談到some+one系列選項，明明有錯誤選項啊，為什麼不能以此類推？
來，別急，上週我們學到了some的用法有兩個，某一個＋單數名詞 / 一些＋複數名詞。
但是但是，我們還沒有學到 time的用法，
也，有，兩個。
那就一個一個來說囉～
1. sometime
Cambridge Dictionary (劍橋字典）上面說到這個字，給的英文解釋是：
at a time in the future or the past that is not known or not stated.
過去或未來一個未知或沒有被準確說明的時間。
ex:
A: Are you going to teach us for the next semester?
B: Maybe sometime.
A: Why do you say this?
B: Because I am so frustrated. Some of the students cannot follow, some can’t understand, but still some can get what I mean. And the levels of the class really differ. It doesn’t work~
A: But I still want to learn after you, being in your class.
B: I know. We will make it sometime.
2. some time
不可數名詞，意思是「一段時間，好一陣子。」
ex:
Please spend some time on reflecting and calming yourself down. This is worth doing.
請花一點時間在反思，以及讓自己安靜下來。這很重要。
ex:
I have already spend some time on accompanying you, but I don’t see you following up with me. I keep waiting and waiting, and finally know that it took my energy from me. I am so sad. I cannot wake up someone who pretend to sleep.
我花了對我而言不短的一段時間陪伴你，但是我不覺得你想跟上。我一直不斷等待，到最後終於明白，我已經耗盡了我的能量。悲傷。因為我無法叫醒一個裝睡的人。
3. some times
可數名詞，times 是 time+s，當time是複數型態時，它的意思是「次數」，而不是「時間」，意思是「有幾次」。
ex:
I visited Japan some times and still enjoy there. The culture of the ancient history is so astonishing. Even the atmosphere of Japan is so tidy.
去了日本好幾次，都還是很喜歡那裡。古歷史的文化令人驚艷，日本連氣氛都如此井然有序。
英文文法對我而言，真是性感尤物。哎喲。
