引述

在非正式對話中,'hall' 常被用來引述或提及一個具體、已知的地點,尤其是當說話者認為聽眾也熟悉該地點時。 EN: "I saw him in the hall just now." 翻譯: 我剛剛在大廳看到他了。

EN:"Meet me by the water fountain in the main hall."

停頓填充

常見錯誤

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

×I will wait for you in the hall of the hotel.

I will wait for you in the lobby of the hotel.

在飯店或公共建築中,主要入口處的寬敞空間通常是 'lobby' 或 'foyer',而不是 'hall'。'Hall' 通常指建築物內的走廊,或特定用途的大廳(如宴會廳、音樂廳)。

×We need to book hall for the wedding reception.

We need to book a hall for the wedding reception.

'Hall' 作為可數名詞,指一個具體的廳堂時,通常需要冠詞(a/the)或所有格代名詞(our, their)。

×My room is at the end of the house.

My room is at the end of the hall.

在描述房屋內部時,連接房間的通道是 'hall' 或 'hallway',而不是 'house'。'House' 指的是整棟房屋建築。

×The university has several large halls for events.

The university has several large halls for events. (Correct as is, but note the meaning)

此句文法正確,但學習者常誤解其意思。這裡的 'halls' 指的是多個獨立的『廳堂』(如音樂廳、宴會廳),而不是指多條『走廊』。若想表達多條走廊,應用 'hallways' 或 'corridors'。

×The event will be in Royal Albert Hall.

The event will be in the Royal Albert Hall.

即使專有名詞中包含 'Hall',若其名稱前有形容詞(如 Royal, Grand, Town),通常仍需要定冠詞 'the'。但若名稱是像 'Carnegie Hall' 這樣,則通常不加 'the'。需個別記憶。
