引述

在對話中,當引述或轉述他人要求或自己先前的動作時,常用「email」這個動詞。 EN: She was like, "Can you email me the details?" 翻譯: 她當時就說:「你可以把細節 email 給我嗎?」

EN:I told him, "I'll email you the report by 5 PM."

翻譯:我跟他說:「我會在下午五點前把報告 email 給你。」

EN:Did you email it? Email it again, just to be safe.

翻譯:你 email 過去了嗎?再 email 一次好了,比較保險。

停頓填充

在思考或組織語句時,會將「email」作為停頓點的一部分,後面再接具體內容或條件。 EN: So, if you could email... uh, the signed copy to this address. 翻譯: 所以,如果你可以 email… 呃,把簽好的副本寄到這個地址。

EN:I need you to email — wait, actually, just bring it to the meeting.

翻譯:我需要你 email — 等等,其實開會時帶來就好。

正式書寫注意:在正式書面文件(如合約、報告、學術論文)中,應避免使用口語化的「email」動詞結構,建議改用「寄送電子郵件」、「透過電郵傳送」等完整表述,或使用更正式的動詞如「傳送」、「遞交」。

常見錯誤

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

×I will email to you tomorrow.

I will email you tomorrow.

動詞 "email" 是及物動詞,後面直接接收件人,不需要介系詞 "to"。

×I sent an email for you.

I sent an email to you. / I emailed you.

表達寄送電子郵件的對象時,應使用介系詞 "to"。"for you" 意指「為你代勞」,而非「寄給你」。

×I will make an email.

I will write/compose/send an email.

英文中不常用 "make an email" 來表達「寫電子郵件」。正確的動詞搭配是 "write", "compose", 或直接使用 "send"。

×I received his email since two days.

I received his email two days ago.

"since" 用於表示從過去某一點開始持續到現在的時間段,常與完成式連用。表示「在多久以前」發生的單一事件,應使用 "... ago"。

×Please reply my email.

Please reply to my email.

動詞 "reply" 是不及物動詞,其後接對象時需要介系詞 "to"。也可以使用及物動詞 "answer" 直接接賓語。
