常見錯誤避免

❌ 錯誤說法

I take taxi to Taipei Main Station, then walk go to opposite Shin Kong Mitsukoshi buy souvenir.

✅ 正確說法

I took a taxi to Taipei Main Station, then walked across to the Shin Kong Mitsukoshi department store to buy souvenirs.
- 中文：我搭計程車到台北火車站，然後走路到對面的新光三越百貨公司買伴手禮

錯誤分析
- 這是典型的「中式英文」直譯錯誤
- 時態錯誤：事情已經發生，動詞要用過去式 (took, walked)
- 介系詞缺失：走路到對面 不是 walk go to opposite，而應該用 walk across 或 walk over to
- 冠詞和複數：taxi 前需要冠詞 a，而 souvenir 通常是可數名詞，買了不止一個，所以用複數 souvenirs

學習技巧：記住英文句子的基本結構：主詞 + 動詞 + 受詞 + 時間/地點。先想清楚「誰做了什麼」，再加上細節。

Keepsake / Memento
- 紀念品 (比 souvenir 更帶有個人情感意義)

學習小偏方

💡 記憶技巧

情境串連法：在腦中想像一個小動畫。計程車 (Taxi) -> 抵達大門 (Station) -> 雙腳走路 (Walk) -> 穿越馬路 (Across) -> 抵達大樓 (Department Store) -> 買禮物 (Souvenirs)。將這個畫面跟你自己的經驗連結起來。

💡 實用建議

下次真的搭計程車時，試著在心裡用英文描述你的路線和目的地。例如：Okay, I’m grabbing a cab to Xinyi District.(好，我要搭計程車去信義區。)

💡 文化敏感度

伴手禮 的文化意涵比 souvenir 更深，它是一種維繫人際關係的禮物。當你向外國朋友解釋時，可以多說一句：In Taiwan, we have this culture of bringing back local gifts, or ‘bàn shǒu lǐ’, for our friends and family after a trip.

思考練習

1. 使用情境
   
   如果你是搭捷運 (MRT) 而不是計程車，這句話該怎麼改？

2. 類似表達
   
   「我搭公車去市場買菜」的英文怎麼說？

3. 文化背景
   
   除了「伴手禮」，還有哪些中文詞彙很難直接翻譯成英文？

希望這份詳細的解說對你有幫助！多練習幾次，很快就能自然地脫口而出。
