If this is your life, you need to be using the causative.

如果這就是你的生活，你就需要用到「使役句」（causative）。

What is the causative and why would you need it?

什麼是使役句？你為什麼需要它？

let me introduce you to English teacher Neeraj.

He's just a regular person, but he likes to do everything himself and he likes to save money.

他就是個普通人，但他喜歡什麼都自己來，也喜歡省錢。

去年夏天他把自己的公寓刷了油漆。

If it rains, he has to hold his own umbrella.

Now let me introduce you to the world famous Miragito.

現在讓我介紹世界知名的 Miragito。

He's a fabulously wealthy reggaeton artist.

他是一位超級有錢的雷鬼動感（reggaeton）歌手。

He has his beard trimmed for him by his personal barber twice a week.

他每週兩次由私人理髮師替他修剪鬍子。

He has all of his meals cooked for him by his private chef.

他所有餐點都由私人主廚替他料理。

He recently got one of his mansions repainted pink.

他最近把其中一棟豪宅重新粉刷成粉紅色。

He gets his clothes made for him by his tailor.

He gets driven all over the city in his limousine by his driver.

他由司機開著禮車載他跑遍全城。

And when it rains, he has his umbrella held for him by his butler.

而下雨時，還有管家替他撐傘。

As you can see, our friends have very different lifestyles.

如你所見，我們兩位朋友的生活型態非常不同。

English teacher Neeraj does everything for himself, whereas Neerajito has everything done for him.

英文老師 Neeraj 什麼都自己做；而 Neerajito 則是什麼都有人替他做。

Did you notice how we described Neerajito's life?

你有注意到我們是怎麼描述 Neerajito 的生活嗎？

他的鬍子是「讓人替他修剪」的。

他的餐點是「讓人替他煮」的。

他的雨傘是「讓人替他拿」的，而且

他也是「讓人載著到處跑」的。

In a situation where we get somebody to do something for us, we use structure called the causative structure.

當我們讓某個人替我們做某件事時，我們就會用一種叫做「使役句」的結構。

This structure is formed from have or get plus the thing, plus a verb in the past participle.

這個結構由 have 或 get + 事情（受詞）+ 過去分詞（p.p.）組成。

Have something done（讓某事被做完）。

Because you cause something to happen. You don't do it yourself.

因為是你「讓」某件事發生，但不是你自己做。

For example, Neerajito gets his beard trimmed twice a week by his personal barber.

例如：Neerajito 每週兩次讓私人理髮師替他修剪鬍子。

When it rains, Neerajito has his meals cooked for him.

下雨時，Neerajito 的餐點是有人替他煮好的。

Now, we don't have to be rich famous reggaeton stars to have things done for us.

其實我們不需要成為有錢又有名的雷鬼動感巨星，才能「讓人替我們做事」。

Most of us need to get things done for us because it's cheaper, because it's faster, or simply because we can't do these things ourselves?

我們大多數人都會需要讓別人替我們做事，可能是因為比較便宜、比較快，或是單純因為我們自己做不到？

So that's when we need to use the causative structure.

所以這就是我們需要使用使役句的時候。

So tell us, do you get your hair cut regularly or do you do it yourself?

那麼告訴我們：你會定期去剪頭髮，還是自己剪呢？

Tell us in the comments about some things you like to get done.

在留言區跟我們分享一些你喜歡「讓人替你做」的事情吧。

Now, I'm not a famous reggaeton star, but

現在，我不是什麼雷鬼動感巨星，但是——

I do like the idea of having a chef cook for me.

我很喜歡「讓主廚替我煮飯」這個想法。

所以來看看我能不能讓這件事成真。
