用法說明

How is "Job" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Job"?

job doing vs job to do

  • job doing 通常用於描述一個人的常規職責或正在進行的任務,強調工作的持續性或本質。
  • job to do 則常指一項具體、待完成的任務或責任,特別是當它被視為一個目標或需要被安排的事情時。
  • 在表示「有責任做某事」時,兩者有時可互換,但 job to do 語氣上更強調「有待完成」的義務感。 EN: Her main job is managing the team and setting project goals. 翻譯: 她的主要工作是管理團隊和設定專案目標。

EN:I have an important job to do before the deadline tomorrow.

翻譯:在明天截止日期前,我有一項重要的工作要完成。

總結建議

一般情況下,描述常規職責用 job doing,指具體待辦任務則用 job to do

常見錯誤

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

×I need to job a new position.

I need to find/get a new job.

"job" 主要用作名詞,表示「工作、職位」。當作動詞時,意思完全不同(指「做零工、承包工作」或「投機買賣」),且不常見。想表達「獲得工作」應使用動詞如 find, get, apply for, land 等搭配名詞 "job"。

×I have a lot of jobs to do today.

I have a lot of work to do today.

當指「任務、待辦事項」時,應使用不可數名詞 "work"。"jobs" 是可數名詞,通常指具體的「職位」或「零工」,不適合用來泛指需要完成的「工作量」。

×The company jobs him to design the website.

The company hired/contracted him to design the website.

動詞 "job" 極少用於「雇用」的意思。它更常指「做零工」或「進行股票投機」。表達「雇用」應使用 hire, employ, contract 等動詞。

×I will make my job carefully.

I will do my job carefully.

表達「做工作、執行任務」時,動詞用 "do",而非 "make"。"Make" 常用於創造或製作物體,而 "do" 用於執行活動或任務。

×My job in the company is a manager.

My job is managerial. / My position in the company is manager.

「Job」指的是工作本身或職位類別,而非具體的職稱頭銜。描述職稱時,常用 "position", "title", 或 "role"。也可以說 "I am a manager." 或 "My job is to manage..."。
