attendance at vs. attendance of

  • attendance at 通常用於指「出席某個具體的活動、場合或地點」,例如會議、學校、音樂會等。
  • attendance of 則多用於指「某人的出席」或「出席者的數量」,強調的是「人」這個元素。
  • 在正式或統計語境中,attendance 也常直接與數字連用,表示出席人數,例如 an attendance of 500。 EN: Her attendance at the weekly meeting is always punctual. 翻譯: 她每週例會的出席總是非常準時。

EN:The attendance of the CEO gave the event significant weight.

易混淆對比

What is the difference between "Attendance" and similar words?How to choose "Attendance" vs alternatives?

attendance vs presence

「attendance」通常指「出席」這個行為或「出席人數」,強調參與活動或會議的事實或統計數字;「presence」則更廣泛地指「在場」或「存在」的狀態,可以是物理上的,也可以是抽象意義上的。

attendance vs participation

「attendance」僅指「出席」或「到場」的事實;而「participation」則指更積極的「參與」或「投入」,涉及互動和貢獻。

attendance vs turnout

兩者都可表示「出席人數」,但「attendance」使用範圍更廣,可用於各種場合;「turnout」通常特指公共活動、集會、選舉等的「參與人數」或「投票率」,更具事件性。

EN:For the success of the event, we have to consider factors like... uh... venue, promotion, and of course, attendance.

常見錯誤

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

×The attendance of the meeting was high.

Attendance at the meeting was high.

使用 'attendance' 表示出席人數或出席狀態時,通常搭配介系詞 'at' 來指出事件或場合,而非使用 'of'。

×I will take an attendance of the class.

I will take attendance for the class.

短語 'take attendance' 是固定用法,意指點名或記錄出席情況,通常不加冠詞,且後接 'for' 來指定對象(如班級、會議)。

×There were many attendances at the festival.

There was a large attendance at the festival.

'Attendance' 作為「出席人數」或「出席率」時是不可數名詞,不應使用複數形式 'attendances'。若要表示人數眾多,應使用 'large', 'high', 'good' 等形容詞修飾。

×His attendances are required by the company policy.

His attendance is required by company policy.

當指個人「出席的行為或狀態」時,'attendance' 同樣是不可數名詞,應使用單數動詞。此處 'company policy' 作為泛指概念,通常不加冠詞。

×We need to check the students' attendances.

We need to check the students' attendance records.

雖然 'attendance' 本身不可數,但若要指具體的「出席紀錄」(如點名簿上的條目),應使用 'attendance records' 或 'attendance sheets' 等可數複合名詞。

×The attendance of the doctor is necessary for the patient.

The attendance of a doctor is necessary for the patient.

此句語意模糊。'Attendance of' 在此易被誤解為「醫生的出席」。在醫療情境中,'attendance' 可指「照料」或「護理」,但更自然且明確的說法是 'The attendance of a doctor'(一位醫生的照料)或直接使用 'medical attention'。原句錯誤在於使用了定冠詞 'the',暗示特定某位醫生,而語意上泛指任何醫生即可。
