arriving vs reaching
「arriving」強調抵達目的地或達到某種狀態的結果,而「reaching」則更側重於經過努力或過程後觸及某個點、目標或程度。
arriving vs coming
「arriving」強調抵達的完成與結果,而「coming」則側重於朝向目的地移動的過程或即將發生的動作。
arriving vs getting
「arriving」較正式,專指抵達目的地;「getting (to)」在口語中更常見,用法更廣泛,可表示到達、變得或獲得。
在轉述他人即將到來的消息或計畫時,常用現在進行式。 EN: She was like, "I'm arriving around eight," so we ordered food for then. 翻譯: 她當時說:「我大概八點到。」所以我們就訂了那時候的餐點。
EN:He texted me saying he's arriving on the later flight.
翻譯:他傳訊息給我,說他會搭晚一點的班機到。
在口語中,常加上副詞或短語來強調抵達的狀態、心情或精確時間。 EN: I'm finally arriving at the party—sorry for the delay! 翻譯: 我終於要到派對現場了——抱歉遲到了!
EN:They're literally arriving any minute now.
翻譯:他們真的隨時都會到。
在描述過程或思考下一步時,用作對話中的自然停頓或過渡。 EN: So, after arriving at the station, we need to find the ticket counter. 翻譯: 所以,到了車站之後,我們得找到售票處。
EN:Yeah, and then... arriving there, we realized we forgot the keys.
翻譯:對,然後呢……到了那裡,我們才發現忘了帶鑰匙。
正式寫作注意:在正式或學術寫作中,應避免使用上述口語中的填充停頓(如 "...arriving there, we...")及過於隨意的強調詞(如 "literally")。建議使用更精確、結構完整的句子,例如 "Upon arrival, we realized..."。

×I am arriving to the airport at 5 PM.
✓I am arriving at the airport at 5 PM.
動詞 "arrive" 後面通常接介系詞 "at" 表示到達具體地點(如建築物、車站),或 "in" 表示到達較大的區域(如城市、國家)。"arrive to" 是常見的學習者錯誤。
×She is arriving home at 7 o'clock.
✓She is arriving home at 7 o'clock. (or: She will arrive home at 7 o'clock.)
雖然句子本身文法正確,但 "arrive" 是瞬間動詞,在表示未來計畫時,使用現在進行式 "is arriving" 聽起來較不自然,通常用 "will arrive" 或 "is going to arrive" 更為常見。使用現在進行式時,語境通常需有更明確的「正在途中」或「即將發生」的意味。
×He arrived to the party late.
✓He arrived at the party late.
與錯誤1類似,過去式 "arrived" 後面也應接 "at" 表示到達具體活動或聚會地點,而非 "to"。
×I am arriving there tomorrow.
✓I will arrive there tomorrow. (or: I am going to arrive there tomorrow.)
當句子中有明確的未來時間副詞(如 tomorrow, next week)且主詞為 "I" 或 "we" 時,使用 "will arrive" 或 "be going to arrive" 來表達未來計畫比 "am arriving" 更自然、更常見。"am arriving" 多用於行程已確定(如航班、行程表)或強調「正在路上」的語境。
×The news of his success arriving yesterday.
✓The news of his success arrived yesterday.
這裡 "arrive" 用作比喻「消息傳到」,主詞是 "news",應使用簡單過去式 "arrived" 來描述過去發生的單一事件。使用 "arriving" 會造成句子不完整(成為分詞片語),缺少主要動詞。
