用法說明

come doing vs come to do

  • come doing 通常描述在移動(come)的同時正在進行的動作或伴隨的狀態,強調動作的同時性。
  • come to do 則表示移動(come)的目的是為了做某事,強調移動後的目的或意圖。
  • 在描述某人前來提供幫助或服務時,兩者有時可互換,但 come doing 聽起來更生動、更口語化。 EN: She came running when she heard the news. 翻譯: 她聽到消息就跑過來了。

EN:She came to tell me the news in person.

翻譯:她親自過來告訴我這個消息。

口語用法

引述

在轉述他人話語或想法時,口語中常用 "come" 來生動地引述,特別是帶有驚訝、不贊同或戲劇化的語氣。 EN: And then he comes, "I don't think I can make it." 翻譯: 然後他就說:「我覺得我沒辦法去了。」

EN:So she comes to me, "You've got to be kidding!"

翻譯:所以她就對我說:「你一定是在開玩笑吧!」

語氣強調

在口語中,"come" 常用於祈使句或感嘆句,以加強催促、鼓勵、挑戰或不耐煩的語氣。 EN: Oh, come on! You can do better than that. 翻譯: 拜託!你可以做得比那樣更好。

EN:Come now, don't be so shy.

翻譯:來嘛,別這麼害羞。

停頓填充

在思考或組織語句時,"come" 的相關片語如 "come to think of it" 常被用作填充語,表示突然想起某事或轉換話題。 EN: Come to think of it, I did see her yesterday. 翻譯: 說起來,我昨天確實看到她了。

EN:Well, come on, it's not that big of a deal.

翻譯:哎,拜託,這又沒什麼大不了的。

正式寫作注意:上述口語用法(尤其是「引述」和「停頓填充」的用法)在正式書面語、學術寫作或商業報告中應避免使用,它們會顯得不夠嚴謹。請改用 "say", "exclaim", "I just remembered that" 等更標準、正式的表述。

常見錯誤

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

×I will come to your party.

I will come to your party.

雖然此句文法正確,但學習者常誤以為 'come' 後必須接 'to'。實際上,當目的地是副詞(如 here, there, home)或上下文已明確時,不需用 'to'。

×He come to school by bus yesterday.

He came to school by bus yesterday.

'come' 是不規則動詞,過去式是 'came',過去分詞是 'come'。在過去式的句子中,必須使用 'came'。

×I will come to your house tomorrow. (當說話者目前不在對方家時)

I will go to your house tomorrow.

中文的「來」常用於前往對方所在地的動作,但英文的 'come' 強調「移動到說話者或聽話者所在(或將在)的位置」。若說話時雙方不在同一地點,且移動方向是遠離說話者,應使用 'go'。

×Can you come with me to the store?

Can you come with me to the store?

此句文法正確,但學習者常困惑為何 'come with' 後直接接人稱代名詞(me, us, him等),而 'come' 後接地點時卻需要 'to'。這是因為 'with' 是介系詞,表示伴隨,其後直接接伴隨的對象。

×I came for buy a book.

I came to buy a book.

表達「來做某事」的目的時,應使用 'come to + 動詞原形',而不是 'come for + V-ing' 或 'come for + 動詞原形'。'Come for' 後通常接名詞,表示來的目的物或活動。

×I come tomorrow.

I will come tomorrow. / I am coming tomorrow.

'Come' 是動作動詞,在表達未來計畫或意圖時,不能單獨使用現在簡單式。應使用未來式(will come)或現在進行式(am coming)來表示未來的安排。
