C. 中文學習者容易犯的錯誤

❌ 錯誤: "I have no money on my body today."
✅ 正確: "I don't have any money on me today." / "I didn't bring money today."

說明: 不要直譯「身上」為 "on my body",應該用 "on me"


❌ 錯誤:
"Can you borrow me $100?"
✅ 正確: "Can you lend me $100?" / "Can I borrow $100 from you?"

說明: "Borrow" 是「借入」,"lend" 是「借出」。別搞混了!


❌ 錯誤:
"Is it convenient for you to lend me money?"
✅ 正確: "Would you be able to lend me money?" / "Can you lend me money?"

說明: 直譯「方便」為 "convenient" 在這裡不自然
