常見錯誤

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

×I went to an bookstore.

I went to a bookstore.

雖然 'bookstore' 以字母 b 開頭,發音是 /bʊkstɔːr/,第一個音是子音 /b/,因此應該使用不定冠詞 'a',而不是 'an'。'an' 用於母音開頭的發音。

×There are three booksstores in this city.

There are three bookstores in this city.

'Bookstore' 是一個複合名詞,其複數形式是在整個詞的末尾加 's',變成 'bookstores'。不應在 'book' 後面也加 's'。

×Let's meet at the book store.

Let's meet at the bookstore.

在美式英語中,'bookstore' 通常寫成一個單詞(複合名詞)。雖然 'book store'(兩個詞)有時也被接受,但 'bookstore' 是更標準和常見的拼寫。在英式英語中,'bookshop' 更為常用。

×I bought this novel in that bookstore.

I bought this novel at that bookstore.

當談論在一個特定的商店、建築物或地點進行活動(如購物)時,通常使用介系詞 'at'。使用 'in' 會過於強調在建築物「內部」的物理位置,而不是將該地點視為一個商業場所。雖然 'in' 文法上不完全錯誤,但 'at' 在這種上下文下更自然、更常用。

×I borrowed this book from the bookstore. (when meaning to borrow for free)

I borrowed this book from the library.

'Bookstore'(書店)是販售書籍的地方。'Library'(圖書館)才是免費借閱書籍的場所。混淆這兩個詞會導致語意錯誤。

×The bookstore's hours are convenient.

The bookstore's hours are convenient.

此處 'bookstore's' 是正確的,表示書店的營業時間。常見錯誤是忘記加所有格符號('s),寫成 'bookstores hours',這會讓 'bookstores' 聽起來像複數名詞,而不是所有格。請注意:所有格符號(')是英文標點,不是中文的頓號或撇號。
