C. 中文學習者容易犯的錯誤
-
錯誤 ❌: "Please help me to call a car to Taipei Train Station."
正確 ✓: "Please help me call a taxi to Taipei Train Station."
解釋:英文中計程車是「taxi」或「cab」,不是泛指的「car」;另外「help me call」不需要加「to」。 -
錯誤 ❌: "Can you telephone a taxi car for me to arrive Taipei Station?"
正確 ✓: "Can you call a taxi for me to go to Taipei Station?"
解釋:「叫計程車」用「call a taxi」而非「telephone a taxi car」;「到某地」用「go to」或「get to」,不用「arrive」後面直接加地點。 -
錯誤 ❌: "Please ask a taxi to Taipei Train Station for me."
正確 ✓: "Please call a taxi to take me to Taipei Train Station."
解釋:「幫我叫計程車」是「call a taxi for me」,「ask a taxi」表達不正確。
