這集列出 5 個台灣人最常犯、外國人聽了最想糾正的英文錯誤——
「How to say?」「Open the light」「I very like it」「Of course!」「Same same」
一次拆解直譯陷阱,給你母語者真正會用的版本。挑一個從今天開始換口,比學十個新單字還有感。
Tina 開完會後抓著外商同事 Ryan,想搞清楚為什麼她的英文被老闆說 cute but Mandarin-influenced。
English Dialogue
Tina: Ryan, can I ask you something honestly? My American client said my English is cute but Mandarin-influenced. What does that even mean?
Ryan: Ha! He probably noticed a few patterns. Don’t take it personally—every Taiwanese English speaker has a pet peeve list someone could make.
Tina: Now I’m dying to know. What did I say wrong?
Ryan: Okay, first one—did you say “How to say?” when you forgot a word?
Tina: Maybe. That’s wrong?
Ryan: It comes across as broken. Native speakers say “How do you say…?” or “What’s the word for…?”
Tina: Oh no. What else?
Ryan: “Open the light.” We don’t open lights, we turn them on. And turn them off, not close them.
Tina: I literally said that yesterday.
Ryan: Number three—“I very like it.” Skip “very” before “like.” Just say “I really like it” or “I love it.”
Tina: Number four?
Ryan: “Of course.” Be careful with that one. In English, “of course” can sound a little sarcastic, like “duh, obviously.” Try swapping it for “Sure” or “Definitely.”
Tina: Wait, really? I say “of course” all day.
Ryan: And finally—“Same same.” We don’t repeat words for emphasis like that. Native speakers say “pretty similar” or “basically the same.”
Tina: Five strikes in one conversation. I’m going to overthink every sentence now.
Ryan: Don’t! Just notice them and gradually swap. The nuance comes with practice. Your English is great—just a little Mandarin-flavored.
中文翻譯
Tina:Ryan,老實問你,我美國客戶說我的英文「可愛但有中文味」。那到底是什麼意思?
Ryan:哈!他大概注意到一些固定模式。別放心上——每個台灣人說英文都有一份「老外抓狂清單」可以列。
Tina:你害我超想知道。我到底說錯了什麼?
Ryan:好,第一個——你忘記字的時候是不是會說「How to say?」
Tina:可能吧。這樣不對?
Ryan:聽起來像破英文。母語者會說「How do you say…?」或「What’s the word for…?」
Tina:天啊,還有呢?
Ryan:「Open the light.」我們不會 open 燈,我們是 turn on。關掉是 turn off,不是 close。
Tina:我昨天才這樣講。
Ryan:第三個——「I very like it.」動詞前面不要加 very。直接說「I really like it」或「I love it」。
Tina:第四個呢?
Ryan:「Of course.」這個要小心。英文的 of course 聽起來會有點諷刺,像在說「廢話、你怎麼問這個」。可以換成「Sure」或「Definitely」。
Tina:等等,真假?我整天都在講 of course 耶。
Ryan:最後一個——「Same same.」我們不會用重複疊字來強調。母語者會說「pretty similar」或「basically the same」。
Tina:一場對話五個錯誤,我之後每句都要過度思考了。
Ryan:別!只要意識到、慢慢替換。語感是練出來的。你英文很好——只是有一點中文口音的味道。
