引述
在口語中，當引述或提及一筆具體的交易時，常用來指涉某個已發生或正在進行的商業行為。 EN: I heard about that real estate transaction; it was huge. 翻譯: 我聽說了那筆房地產交易，金額非常龐大。

EN:We need to review every single transaction on this statement.

停頓填充

EN:The issue is... um... the transaction fee wasn't disclosed upfront.

正式書寫注意：在正式報告或法律文件中，應避免使用口語中的停頓或強調語氣，並需明確指出交易的具體細節（如交易編號、日期、雙方名稱），而非僅用 "that transaction" 等模糊指代。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Transaction"?Which "Transaction" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I need to make a transaction for buying a book.
✓I need to make a transaction to buy a book.
使用 'for + V-ing' 表示目的較不自然。在 'transaction' 後，更常見使用不定詞 'to + 動詞原形' 或 'for + 名詞' 來表示交易的目的。
×He is in charge of transaction.
✓He is in charge of the transaction. / He is in charge of transactions.
'transaction' 作為可數名詞，指涉特定交易時需加冠詞（如 the, a）或使用所有格（如 my, this）。泛指多筆交易或交易行為時，常用複數形 'transactions' 或不可數用法 'transaction processing'。
×I did a transaction at the bank.
✓I completed a transaction at the bank. / I carried out a transaction at the bank.
雖然 'do a transaction' 在口語中可能被理解，但更正式、常見的動詞搭配是 'complete', 'conduct', 'process', 'carry out', 或 'make' a transaction。使用 'do' 略顯不自然。
×The company is in a major transaction to a new system.
✓The company is in a major transition to a new system.
'Transaction'（交易）與 'transition'（轉變、過渡）發音和拼寫相似，但意義完全不同。'Transaction' 指商業或金融上的交換行為，'transition' 指從一種狀態到另一種狀態的變化過程。
×All online transaction are encrypted.
✓All online transactions are encrypted.
當主詞是 'all', 'many', 'these', 'those' 等詞，或主詞為泛指時，'transaction' 應使用複數形 'transactions'，以保持主詞與動詞的單複數一致。
×I had a transaction of the seller.
✓I had a transaction with the seller.
表示與某人進行交易時，正確的介系詞是 'with'。'of' 用於表示所屬關係（如 'the cost of the transaction'），不用於表示交易對象。
