The correct sentence is, I went to borrow money from the bank to buy a car.

正確的句子是，我去銀行借錢買車。

And we're going to talk about why right now.

Because this is a very common mistake for students who are learning English.

因為這是學英文的學生常犯的錯誤。

They often confuse borrow and and lend, and these words have very different meanings.

他們常常混淆 borrow 和 lend，這兩個字的意思很不一樣。

Lend means to give something to someone, expecting they will give it back.

lend 的意思是把東西給別人，期望對方會還回來。

If you lend something, you give something to someone, and that person will probably give it back.

如果你 lend 東西，就是把東西給別人，而那個人很可能會還給你。

Now, an example could be, can you lend me your bicycle for a week, please?

那舉個例子，你可以借我你的自行車一個禮拜嗎？

So I'm saying, can you give me your bicycle for a week, please?

所以我是在說，你可以借我你的自行車一個禮拜嗎？

And then later I will give it back to you.

Borrow means to use something that belongs to someone else.

Borrow 的意思是使用屬於別人的東西。

所以如果你 borrow 東西，就是你拿走。

So these words are very, very different, and you need to understand the difference.

所以這兩個詞意思差很多，你們一定要搞懂它們的差別。

An example could can I borrow your bicycle for a week?

一個例子是，我可不可以借入你的自行車一個禮拜？

So now I'm saying I want to take your bicycle for a week, and

所以現在我說我要拿走你的自行車一個禮拜，

So I'm saying, can you give me your lend bicycle?

所以我在說，你可以借出你的借出自行車給我嗎？

Please choose the correct verb lend or borrow.

請選擇正確的動詞 lend 或 borrow。
