resource 作可數名詞與不可數名詞的用法

  • resource 作為可數名詞時,通常指具體的、可列舉的資源,如人力、物力、財力、資訊來源等。
  • 作為不可數名詞時,則指抽象的「資源」概念,或指個人應對問題的「才智、應變能力」。

常見錯誤

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

×We need more resource to finish the project.

We need more resources to finish the project.

當指具體的資源(如資金、人力、設備)時,'resource' 通常用作可數名詞(複數形式 'resources')。泛指抽象概念時才用不可數形式,但這種情況較少見。

×He is a valuable resource for our team.

He is a valuable resource to our team.

表示「對...而言是資源」時,介系詞應使用 'to' 或 'for',但搭配略有不同。'A resource to someone/group' 強調對象;'A resource for something (a purpose)' 強調用途。描述人是團隊的資源時,常用 'to'。

×The library is a good resource of information.

The library is a good source of information.

'Resource' 指可被利用的資產或儲備,而 'source' 指資訊、物品或現象的來源或出處。圖書館是資訊的『來源』(source),而不是被消耗的『資源』(resource)。

×The resources is limited.

The resources are limited.

'Resources' 是複數名詞,其後的動詞必須使用複數形式。

×We don't have enough human resource.

We don't have enough human resources.

'Human resources' 作為一個固定詞組(指人力資源部門或員工總體)總是使用複數形式。即使指單一員工,也通常說 'a human resources professional' 或 'a member of our human resources'。

×We need to resource the project properly.

We need to allocate sufficient resources to the project.

'Resource' 在標準英語中主要用作名詞。雖然商業術語中有 'to resource a project' 的用法(意為配置資源),但對學習者而言,使用更常見的動詞如 'allocate resources to', 'provide resources for', 或 'fund' 會更安全、更自然。
