用法說明

How is "Anytime" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Anytime"?

anytime vs. any time

  • anytime 是一個副詞,意思是「在任何時候」,用來修飾動詞,表示動作發生的時間沒有限制。
  • any time 是名詞片語,由限定詞 any 和名詞 time 組成,通常出現在介系詞(如 at)之後,或與其他詞語構成片語(如 at any time)。
  • 在非正式口語中,兩者常可互換使用,但在正式寫作中,區分兩者能讓表達更精確。

對比例句: EN: You can call me anytime. 翻譯: 你隨時可以打電話給我。

正式寫作注意:在正式書面語(如學術論文、商業報告、法律文件)中,應避免將 "anytime" 用作填充詞或過於口語化的引述。建議使用更精確的時間表述,例如 "at any time", "whenever", 或具體說明時間點,以保持文章的嚴謹性。

常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Anytime"?Which "Anytime" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×I can meet you at anytime tomorrow.

I can meet you anytime tomorrow.

在英文中,'anytime' 是一個副詞,前面不需要介系詞 'at'。'at any time' 是另一個正確的片語,但 'anytime' 本身已包含時間概念,直接使用即可。

×Anytime you need help, just ask me.

Anytime you need help, just ask me.

這個句子本身是正確的,但許多學習者會誤以為 'anytime' 不能用在句首引導子句。實際上,'Anytime' 可以作為連接詞使用,意思等同於 'Whenever'。

×We don't have anytime to waste.

We don't have any time to waste.

'anytime' 是副詞,表示『在任何時候』。當需要一個名詞來表示『任何時間量』時,應該使用分開的兩個字 'any time'。

×You can come anytime you want.

You can come anytime you want.

這個句子是正確的。常見的學習者困惑在於不確定 'anytime' 是否可以用在肯定句中。實際上,'anytime' 在肯定句和疑問句中都很常見,表示『任何時間』。它與 'sometime'(某個時候)不同。

×I haven't seen him for anytime.

I haven't seen him for some time.

'anytime' 不能用來表示一段不確定的時間長度。表示『一段時間』應該用 'some time'、'a while' 或 'a long time' 等片語。
