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?
英文真的太煩了太煩了(暴氣!!) 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。
