常見錯誤

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

×He is my buddy friend.

He is my buddy.

「buddy」本身已含有「朋友」的意思,重複使用「friend」是多餘的。

×I have three buddies in my class.

I have three friends in my class.

「buddy」通常指親近、熟識的朋友,語感較 casual 且具體。在泛指一般「同學」或非親近關係的「朋友」時,使用「friend」更為自然。

×Hello, buddy. Nice to meet you.

Hello. Nice to meet you.

「buddy」用於稱呼陌生人時,可能帶有輕蔑、挑釁或過度隨意的意味,尤其是在雙方不熟或正式場合。初次見面應避免使用。

×She is my study buddy.

He is my study buddy.

雖然「buddy」在現代用法中不一定限於男性,但傳統上它常用於指稱男性朋友。若指女性朋友,使用「friend」、「pal」或「study partner」會更明確且自然,避免可能的誤解。

×I buddy with him to finish the task.

I teamed up with him to finish the task.

「buddy」主要作為名詞使用。雖然有非正式的動詞用法(如「buddy up」),意指結伴或合作,但並不常見。在大多數情況下,使用「team up with」、「partner with」或「work with」更為標準。
