location 與 location of

  • location 單獨使用時,通常指一個具體的地點、位置或場所。
  • location of 後面接名詞時,強調的是「...的位置」或「...的所在地」,用於指明某個特定事物或事件的所在。
  • 在描述建築物、商店或活動的「地點」時,兩者常可互換,但 location 更直接,location of 則帶有說明的性質。
  • 在科技或正式文件中,location of 常用於精確描述某物(如檔案、設備、錯誤)的所在處。

常見錯誤

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

×The location of the hotel is very convenience.

The location of the hotel is very convenient.

「location」是名詞,描述地點的特性應該使用形容詞「convenient」,而非名詞「convenience」。

×We need to find a new location for open our office.

We need to find a new location for our office. / We need to find a new location to open our office.

介系詞「for」後面應接名詞或名詞片語(our office)。若要表達目的(開設辦公室),應使用「to + 動詞原形」的不定詞結構。

×The GPS shows our current locations.

The GPS shows our current location.

當談論單一主體(我們)的單一所在位置時,應使用單數名詞「location」。

×This is a good location of the city.

This is a good location in the city.

表達某物存在於某個地理區域內部時,應使用介系詞「in」。使用「of」會改變意思,變成「屬於城市的某個地點」,語意不自然。

×The location for the meeting hasn't been decided.

The location of the meeting hasn't been decided.

雖然「for」有時可用,但當強調會議「本身所屬的」地點時,使用「of」更為自然和常見。使用「for」可能暗示地點是為會議「預備的」,而非其固有屬性。

×I will send you the location's link.

I will send you the location link. / I will send you the link to the location.

在英語中,表示「地點連結」這類複合概念時,通常直接將名詞「location」作為修飾語放在另一個名詞前,或使用「link to the location」的結構。使用所有格「's」在此處不自然。
