手機沒電英文怎麼說？My phone died、行動電源 power bank 一次學會

跟美國朋友約在咖啡店，你遲到又沒回訊息，一坐下就解釋：“My phone has no electricity.”，接著問 “Do you have a mobile power?”、“Can I borrow your charge?”——三句都不是老外會講的說法，mobile power 甚至會讓對方聽不懂你要什麼。

「手機沒電了」英文說 My phone died.；「行動電源」是 power bank；「借我充電器」就說 Can I borrow your charger?

💡 先搞懂：手機沒電，別直翻「沒電、行動電源、充電」

中文說「手機沒電了」「有行動電源嗎」「借我充電」，直翻成英文就變成 no electricity、mobile power、borrow your charge。英文講手機沒電很口語：手機像人一樣會「死掉」，說 My phone died. 或 My phone is dead.；快沒電是 My battery is low.。行動電源叫 power bank（也可以說 portable charger），充電器是 charger，charge 是動詞「充電」。牆上的插座美國人說 outlet。

台灣人最容易卡的雷：① My phone has no electricity. → My phone died.；② Do you have a mobile power? → Do you have a power bank?；③ Can I borrow your charge? → Can I borrow your charger?

場景：週六下午，台灣交換學生 Leo 跟美國朋友 Ryan 約在咖啡店，Leo 晚到二十分鐘，Ryan 傳的訊息和電話他都沒回。

Ryan

Hey, Leo! Did you get my text? I sent you the address an hour ago.

嘿，Leo！你有收到我的訊息嗎？我一小時前就把地址傳給你了。

Leo

Sorry, I didn’t see it. My phone has no electricity.

抱歉，我沒看到。我的手機沒電了。（要說 My phone died.）

Ryan

Oh, your phone died? That’s why you didn’t pick up when I called.

喔，你手機沒電了？難怪我打給你，你都沒接。

Leo

Yeah, it died on the train. Do you have a mobile power?

對，在火車上就沒電了。你有行動電源嗎？（要說 power bank）

Ryan

A power bank? Sorry, mine’s at home. But there’s an outlet right behind you.

行動電源？抱歉，我的放在家裡。不過你後面就有插座。

Leo

Great! Can I borrow your charge?

太好了！可以借我你的充電器嗎？（要說 charger）

Ryan

My charger? Sure, here you go. Just plug it in over there.

我的充電器？當然，拿去。插在那邊就好。

Leo

Thanks! Okay, it’s charging, but it’s still at one percent.

謝啦！好，在充了，但還是只有百分之一。

Ryan

Give it a few minutes. Cold weather drains your battery faster, too.

等個幾分鐘吧。天氣冷也會讓電池比較快沒電。

Leo

Really? No wonder it keeps dying this week.

真的嗎？難怪這禮拜一直沒電。

Ryan

Yep. Let’s grab a coffee while it charges. We don’t have to leave until three.

對啊。趁它在充電，我們先去買杯咖啡吧。我們三點才要出發。

Leo

Sounds good. Next time, I’ll bring a fully charged power bank!

好啊。下次我一定帶一顆充飽的行動電源！

下次這樣說 Next Time

手機沒電、跟人借充電的時候，台灣人最常直翻的三句。

① 手機沒電了

❌ 中文腦會說

My phone has no electricity.

electricity 是電力，不是電量

✅ 該這樣說

My phone died.

我手機沒電了。

為什麼：英文把手機沒電講成「死掉」：剛沒電說 My phone died.，描述現在的狀態說 My phone is dead.。electricity 是電力、用電，像停電、電費那種電。

② 行動電源

❌ 中文腦會說

Do you have a mobile power?

mobile power 是直翻

✅ 該這樣說

Do you have a power bank?

你有行動電源嗎？

為什麼：行動電源叫 power bank，美國人也常說 portable charger。mobile power 不是英文的說法，老外會聽不懂你要什麼。

③ 借我充電器

❌ 中文腦會說

Can I borrow your charge?

charge 是動詞「充電」

✅ 該這樣說

Can I borrow your charger?

可以借我你的充電器嗎？

為什麼：charge 是「充電」這個動作，充電器要加 -r 變成 charger。只要線就說 charging cable：Can I borrow your charging cable?

重點句型 Sentence Patterns

1. 手機沒電了 → My phone died.

手機沒電，英文說它「死掉」了：died 講剛發生，is dead 講現在的狀態。

例：”My phone died on the train.”（「我手機在火車上沒電了。」）
例：”My phone is dead. Can I use yours?”（「我手機沒電，可以用你的嗎？」）
例：”It keeps dying this week.”（「它這禮拜一直沒電。」）

electricity 是電力本身，例如 The electricity went out.（停電了。）講手機電量不用這個字。

2. 快沒電了 → My battery is low.

還沒完全沒電，說 battery is low，或直接報百分比。

例：”My battery is low.”（「我快沒電了。」）
例：”I’m at five percent.”（「我只剩百分之五。」）
例：”My phone is about to die.”（「我手機快沒電了。」）

講電量可以直接用 I’m at…（我只剩…），主詞是自己也很自然：I’m at one percent.。

3. 行動電源 → power bank

行動電源是 power bank，也可以說 portable charger；mobile power 不是英文說法。

例：”Do you have a power bank?”（「你有行動電源嗎？」）
例：”Can I borrow your portable charger?”（「可以借我你的行動電源嗎？」）
例：”My power bank is dead, too.”（「我的行動電源也沒電了。」）

行動電源是 power bank，也可以說 portable charger；mobile power 不是英文說法。

4. 充電器 → charger／充電 → charge

charge 是動詞「充電」，充電器是 charger，充電線是 charging cable。

例：”Can I borrow your charger?”（「可以借我你的充電器嗎？」）
例：”It’s charging.”（「它在充電。」）
例：”I need to charge my phone.”（「我要幫手機充電。」）

借東西的「借進來」是 borrow、「借出去」是 lend：Can I borrow your charger?＝Can you lend me your charger?

5. 插座 → outlet／插上 → plug in

牆上的插座美國人說 outlet，把插頭插上說 plug it in。

例：”Is there an outlet near here?”（「這附近有插座嗎？」）
例：”Just plug it in over there.”（「插在那邊就好。」）
例：”Can I plug my phone in here?”（「我可以在這裡插手機充電嗎？」）

英國英語把插座叫 socket，美國英語一般說 outlet。

逐字稿 Transcript

Okay, confession time. My phone dies on me at least twice a week, usually right when I need it most. I’m Jason, and welcome to MJ English. Today, let’s fix three phone battery mistakes.好，來坦白一下。我的手機一個禮拜至少會沒電兩次，而且通常都在最需要它的時候。我是 Jason，歡迎來到 MJ English。今天我們來修正三個手機電量的常見錯誤。

Here’s the story. Leo, an exchange student from Taiwan, is late to meet his friend Ryan at a coffee shop. Ryan asks if he got the text. And Leo says, “Sorry, I didn’t see it. My phone has no electricity.”故事是這樣的。來自台灣的交換學生 Leo，約了朋友 Ryan 在咖啡店見面，結果遲到了。Ryan 問他有沒有收到訊息。Leo 說：Sorry, I didn’t see it. My phone has no electricity.

Okay, mistake number one is that word, electricity. Electricity is the power in the wall, like when there’s a blackout. For a phone, English says it died. Just like a person. My phone died. Or, my phone is dead.好，第一個錯誤就是 electricity 這個字。electricity 是牆上的那種電力，像停電的時候說的那個電。手機沒電，英文說它「死掉」了，就像人一樣。My phone died，或是 My phone is dead。

And Ryan says, “Oh, your phone died? That’s why you didn’t pick up when I called.” See, Ryan uses died, just like we said. Died is what just happened. Is dead is how it is right now.然後 Ryan 說：Oh, your phone died? That’s why you didn’t pick up when I called. 看，Ryan 用的就是 died。died 是剛剛發生的事，is dead 是現在的狀態。

Next, Leo says, “Yeah, it died on the train. Do you have a mobile power?” That’s mistake number two. Mobile power is a word-for-word translation from Chinese. Americans won’t know what you mean.接著 Leo 說：Yeah, it died on the train. Do you have a mobile power? 這是第二個錯誤。mobile power 是從中文直翻過來的，美國人會不知道你在說什麼。

The word is power bank. Do you have a power bank? You can also say portable charger. Right? Easy. And Ryan says, “A power bank? Sorry, mine’s at home. But there’s an outlet right behind you.”正確的說法是 power bank。Do you have a power bank? 也可以說 portable charger。對吧，很簡單。然後 Ryan 說：A power bank? Sorry, mine’s at home. But there’s an outlet right behind you.

Outlet is the place on the wall where you plug things in. Americans say outlet. And the action is plug in. Plug it in over there. Super simple, and you’ll use both words all the time.outlet 就是牆上可以插東西的插座，美國人都說 outlet。而插上去的動作是 plug in。Plug it in over there. 超簡單，而且這兩個字你會一直用到。

Now, mistake number three. Leo says, “Great! Can I borrow your charge?” It’s close, but not quite. Charge is the action, like, I need to charge my phone. It’s not the thing you borrow.現在是第三個錯誤。Leo 說：Great! Can I borrow your charge? 很接近了，但還不太對。charge 是動作，像是 I need to charge my phone。它不是你要借的那個東西。

The thing is a charger. Just add an r. Charge is what you do. Charger is the thing. Like teach and teacher. Can I borrow your charger? And Ryan says, “My charger? Sure, here you go. Just plug it in over there.”那個東西叫 charger，加個 r 就好。charge 是你做的動作，charger 是那個東西，就像 teach 和 teacher 一樣。Can I borrow your charger? 然後 Ryan 說：My charger? Sure, here you go. Just plug it in over there.

One bonus. Leo says, “Thanks! Okay, it’s charging, but it’s still at one percent.” I’m at one percent is a great way to say your battery is almost empty. Or you can say, my battery is low.再送一個小補充。Leo 說：Thanks! Okay, it’s charging, but it’s still at one percent. I’m at one percent 是說電量快沒了很好用的說法。你也可以說 My battery is low。

Then Ryan says, “Give it a few minutes. Cold weather drains your battery faster, too.” And that’s true! Cold air really can make a phone battery run out faster. So winter is when my phone gives up the most.然後 Ryan 說：Give it a few minutes. Cold weather drains your battery faster, too. 這是真的！天氣冷，手機電池真的會比較快沒電。難怪我的手機在冬天最容易沒電。

Okay, quick recap. My phone died. Not, my phone has no electricity. A power bank, not a mobile power. A charger, not a charge. And outlet for the wall, plug it in for the action.好，快速複習。要說 My phone died，不是 My phone has no electricity。power bank，不是 mobile power。charger，不是 charge。牆上的插座是 outlet，插上去是 plug it in。

Now let’s listen to the whole conversation one more time. This time, try to catch died, power bank, and charger as they go by.現在我們把整段對話再聽一次。這次試著抓出 died、power bank 和 charger 這幾個說法。

🔁 [DIALOGUE REPLAY] 重播情境對話

The second time through, you can hear how natural those three fixes sound. Died, power bank, and charger will start to feel like your own words.第二次聽，你會發現這三個修正聽起來有多自然。died、power bank 和 charger 會慢慢變成你自己的話。

Now it’s your turn. Leave a comment in English: what percent are you at when you start to panic? Follow MJ English so you never miss an episode. I’m Jason, and I’ll see you next time. Go charge your phone!輪到你了。用英文留言告訴我們：電量剩幾 % 你就開始緊張？追蹤 MJ English，才不會錯過任何一集。我是 Jason，下次見。快去幫手機充電吧！
