   「很抱歉造成不便，但我的手機電量已經嚴重不足。請問你恰好有行動充電器可以借我嗎？」

C. 中文學習者容易犯的錯誤

1. 錯誤 : "My phone no electric, you have moving power can borrow me?"
   正確 : "My phone is out of battery. Do you have a power bank I can borrow?"
   解釋：英文中不說"no electric"，而是"out of battery"，且行動電源是"power bank"而非直譯的"moving power"。同時，英文中借東西給別人是"lend"，借東西是"borrow"，所以是"I can borrow"而非"borrow me"。

2. 錯誤 : "My handphone will die, can you borrow me your charger?"
   正確 : "My phone is about to die. Can you lend me your charger?"
   解釋：英美通常用"phone"或"cell phone"而非"handphone"，且正確的表達是"lend me"（借給我）而非"borrow me"。

3. 錯誤 : "I need to charge power, you have portable battery?"
   正確 : "I need to charge my phone. Do you have a portable battery?"
   解釋：英文中需要明確指出要充電的物品"my phone"，不能只說"charge power"，且問句需要正確的語法結構。
