This is a very common mistake I hear with people that are trying to learn English.

這是我從英語學習者中聽到的一個非常常見的錯誤。

I've heard people say, "I'm having a funny time learning English."

我聽過有人說：「我學英語很開心。」

Whereas it should be, "I'm having a fun time learning English."

但應該是要說：「我學英文很開心」。

So I just wanted to help you guys out, make a video⏤fun versus funny⏤sharing some differences as well as some examples.

所以我想幫助你們，製作一個影片⏤ fun vs funny⏤分享一些差異和一些例子。

So, with the word "fun", it's a noun, and it means "enjoyable".

「fun」這個字是名詞，意思是「令人愉快的」。

I had a fun time at the beach.

我在海灘度過了一段愉快的時光。

I had an enjoyable time at the beach.

我在海灘度過了愉快的時光。

Or you could say, "We had so much fun at the movies."

或者你可以說：「我們看電影看得很開心。」

Yeah, we had an enjoyable time at the movies.

是的，我們看電影度過了一段愉快的時光。

I think where the confusion can come in is, with spoken English, fun can also be an adjective.

我認為令人困惑的地方是，在英語口語中，「fun」也可以是個形容詞。

It's very common for me to say to my friend, or to my son⏤he's going to play with a friend, "Okay, bye! Have a fun time with your friend."

我經常對我的朋友或我的兒子說，他要和朋友一起玩「好喔，再見！和你的朋友玩得開心。」

In this case, fun time, fun is an adjective.

在這種情況下，有趣的時間，fun 是一個形容詞。

So, the word "funny" is always used as an adjective, and I'll give you some examples.

而「funny」這個詞總是被用作形容詞，我會給你一些例子。

It means "amusing"; think of laughter, "That was so funny!"

意思是「有趣的」； 想想笑聲，「真是太好笑了！」

The book I'm reading is really funny.

我正在讀的這本書真的很有趣。

Or, "My dad is a very funny person."

或者，「我爸爸是一個非常有趣的人。」

So, we're describing the object, the book, or we're describing the person, my dad, saying funny.

我們在描述物體、書，或是我們在描述人，我爸，用 funny。

So, when you hear the word "fun", when you want to use it, think in your mind, "Could I substitute this with 'enjoyable'?"

當你聽到 fun 這個詞時，當你想要使用它時，請在腦海中思考：「我可以用『令人愉快』來代替它嗎？」

If you can, you're probably using it correctly.

如果可以，那麼你的使用方法是正確的。

And then with the word "funny", think laughter, ha, ha, ha, like, are you able to laugh when you're using the word "funny" or substitute it with almost laughter?

然後 funny 這個詞，想想笑聲，哈哈哈，就像，當你使用 funny 這個詞或用幾乎笑聲代替它時，你會笑嗎？

And if you are, you're probably using it correctly.

如果是的話，那麼你可能正確使用了。

So a couple more examples, just to help you guys out.

所以再舉幾個例子，為了幫助大家更理解。

It would be fun to go to Hawaii.

去夏威夷一定很有趣。

The campfire last night was so fun.

昨晚的營火真是太有趣了。

Oh, another interesting thing we say in English, "He was making fun of me," which means, "He was teasing me."

哦，我們用英語說的另一件有趣的事情是，「He was making fun of me」，意思是「他在取笑我」。

She was making fun of me.

她在取笑我。

But it can be used in, like, a non-offensive way as well, like, he's... "Are you making fun of me right now?"

但它也可以以一種非攻擊性的方式使用，例如，他……「你現在在取笑我嗎？」

Kind of like in a fun... fun, teasing way.

有點像是一種有趣的……有趣的、戲弄的方式。

And then funny... So... the TV series "Friends" is so funny; it makes me laugh all the time.

然後 funny……所以……電視劇《六人行》太好笑了； 這讓我一直笑。

My husband told me a really funny joke last night.

昨晚我先生跟我講了一個非常有趣的笑話。

Oh, actually, yesterday, I was on a language call in Portuguese, and I said, "(speaks Portuguese)."

哦，實際上，昨天，我正在用葡萄牙語進行語言通話，我說：「（說葡萄牙語）。」

And I realized⏤actually, I didn't realize, my language partner was like, "Wait, what?"

我意識到⏤實際上，我沒有意識到，我的練習對象說：「等等，什麼？」

I had said⏤I wanted to say, like, "I charged my headphone," and instead I said, like, the word "caguei", which in the past tense in Portuguese, I believe, is "I pooped".

我說了⏤我想說的是：「我給耳機充電了」，但我卻說 caguei 這個詞，我相信，在葡萄牙語的過去時態中，它是「我拉屎了」的意思。

And, so, it was really funny; we laughed a lot.

所以，這真的很好笑； 我們笑得很開心。

Um... language learning is... it's funny!

學習語言....很好笑！

And it's fun!

也很有趣！
