💡 先搞懂:very 不能直接修飾動詞
中文的「很」什麼都能接:很喜歡、很想、很累。英文的 very 只接形容詞或副詞(very good、very fast),遇到動詞要換成 really 放在動詞前,或在句尾加 a lot/very much。
台灣人最容易卡的雷:① I very like it. → I really like it.;② I very want to try it. → I really want to try it.;③ I very tired. → I’m really tired.(形容詞前面要有 am)
情境對話 Dialogue
場景:週末下午,剛到舊金山念書的 Grace,跟美國同學 Ryan 走進他最愛的一家咖啡店。
Ryan
Here it is! This is my favorite coffee shop in the city.
到了!這是我在這城市最愛的咖啡店。
Grace
Wow, it’s so cozy. I very like this place.
哇,好溫馨。我很喜歡這裡。(要說 I really like this place.)
Ryan
You really like it? I knew you would! Their pumpkin spice latte is famous.
你真的很喜歡?我就知道!他們的南瓜香料拿鐵很有名。
Grace
Pumpkin spice latte? I very want to try it!
南瓜香料拿鐵?我很想喝喝看!(要說 I really want to try it!)
Ryan
You really want to try it? Then let’s get two. It’s only on the menu in the fall.
你很想喝喔?那我們點兩杯。這只有秋天才有。
Grace
Mmm, it’s sweet and warm. It tastes like fall!
嗯,甜甜暖暖的,喝起來就像秋天!
Ryan
Right? So, how was your first week at school?
對吧?那你開學第一週過得怎樣?
Grace
It was busy. So many classes. I very tired.
很忙,好多課。我很累。(少了 am,要說 I’m really tired.)
Ryan
Aw, you’re really tired? That’s normal in the first week. I was so tired too.
噢,你很累喔?第一週都這樣。我那時候也超累。
Grace
Wait, you keep saying “really.” Is “I very like” wrong?
等等,你一直說 really。I very like 是錯的嗎?
Ryan
Kind of! Just say “I really like it” or “I like it a lot.” “Very” goes with words like “good” or “tired.”
有一點!說 I really like it 或 I like it a lot 就好。very 是接 good、tired 這種字。
Grace
Got it! I really like this place, and I like this latte a lot.
懂了!我真的很喜歡這裡,也超喜歡這杯拿鐵。
🎯 30 秒快速複習
動詞前用 really/句尾加 a lot、very much/very 只接形容詞,而且前面別漏 am、is、are
下次這樣說 Next Time
中文的「很」直翻成 very,台灣人最常講錯的三句。
① 我很喜歡
I very like it.
very 不能直接接動詞
I really like it.
我很喜歡
為什麼:very 只修飾形容詞和副詞。動詞 like 前面要用 really,或在句尾加 a lot、very much。
② 我很想試試看
I very want to try it.
want 也是動詞
I really want to try it.
我很想試試看
為什麼:want 是動詞,一樣不能用 very。說 I really want to… 最自然。
③ 我很累
I very tired.
少了 am
I’m really tired.
我很累
為什麼:tired 是形容詞,可以用 very,但前面一定要有 am。I’m very tired 也對,I’m really tired 更口語。

重點句型 Sentence Patterns
1. 我很喜歡 → I really like it.
動詞前面用 really,不用 very。
例:”I really miss my family.”(「我好想念家人。」)
例:”She really loves coffee.”(「她超愛咖啡。」)
2. 句尾加強 → I like it a lot.
不想用 really,就在句子最後加 a lot 或 very much。
例:”Thank you very much.”(「非常謝謝你。」)
例:”I miss you so much.”(「我好想你。」)
3. very 只接形容詞 → very good、very busy
very 後面接形容詞或副詞,不接動詞。
例:”I’m very busy this week.”(「我這週很忙。」)
例:”He speaks very fast.”(「他講話很快。」)
4. 我很累 → I’m really tired.
形容詞前面別忘了 am、is、are。
例:”She’s very happy.”(「她很開心。」)
例:”We’re so hungry.”(「我們好餓。」)
5. 更有感的說法 → I love it! / I totally agree.
想表達「超」喜歡、「完全」同意,換個更強的字就好。
例:”I totally agree.”(「我完全同意。」)
例:”I really want to go.”(「我好想去。」)
