[introduction]

[導言]

Transitive and intransitive verbs? Bwuuuuh?! Ok...ok, relax. Those words sound complicated,

轉折動詞和非轉折動詞？Bwuuuuh?好吧......好吧，放鬆。這些詞聽起來很複雜。

they sound difficult, but it's actually not that big of a deal.

他們聽起來很難，但其實也不是什麼大事。

This is one of the fundamentals of English grammar and something that many many students

這是英語語法的基礎之一，也是很多很多學生的

get wrong. Basically, when we talk about transitive or

錯。基本上，當我們談到轉折性或

intransitive verbs, what we're actually talking about is objects.

不及物動詞，其實我們說的是賓語。

So! You're super smart, so you know that English is Subject, Verb, Object.

所以！你超級聰明，所以你知道英語是主語、動詞、賓語。

The object is generally the thing receiving the verb, receiving the action.

賓語一般是指接受動詞、接受動作的事物。

But there are two kinds of objects: direct and indirect.

但對象有兩種：直接和間接。

A direct object comes immediately after the verb. It comes directly after.

直接賓語緊接在動詞之後。它直接出現在後面。

"I bought a car." An indirect object means there is something

"我買了一輛車。"間接對象是指有

between the verb and the object. It is not direct!

動詞和賓語之間。這不是直接的!

"I went to the store." 'The store' is the object, 'went' is the verb.

"我去了商店"'商店'是賓語，'去'是動詞。

'To' is a preposition; it's the connector. So what does this have to do with transitive

'到'是個介詞，它是連接詞。那麼，這和轉折詞有什麼關係呢？

or intransitive? Well, I'm glad you asked, voice in my head!

還是不定性的？好吧，我很高興你問了，我腦子裡的聲音！

A transitive verb, is a verb that is able to take a direct object after it.

轉體動詞，是指能夠在後面直接帶賓語的動詞。

But an intransitive verb cannot take a direct object. Or sometimes it doesn't need an object

但不及物動詞不能直接取賓語。或者有時它不需要對象

at all. Confused yet? It's alright. Let me give you

完全沒有。困惑了嗎？不要緊我給你說

an example. "I ran". No object necessary. That is a complete

一個例子。"我跑了"。不需要對象。這是一個完整的

sentence. But if you wanted to add an object, you need

句子。但是，如果你想添加一個對象，你就需要

a preposition. "I ran to the store."

一個介詞。"我跑到商店去了。"

Compare this with a transitive verb. "I bought."... That's incorrect.

用一個轉折性動詞來比較。"我買了。"...這是不正確的。

That's not a complete sentence. The most common mistake I hear is students

這句話不完整。我最常聽到的錯誤是學生

saying, "Ah, I like." What? You like what?

說："啊，我喜歡。" 什麼？什麼 你喜歡什麼

The tricky part is that which verbs are transitive and which verbs are intransitive,

棘手的是，哪些動詞是轉折詞，哪些動詞是不轉折詞。

a lot of it is just memorization. And I know, I know. You hate memorization.

很多都是背誦。我知道，我知道。你討厭背書。

I hate memorization. But sometimes, that's what you have to do.

我討厭背書。但有時，這是你必須要做的。

However! There is a guideline that can help.

但是！有一個準則可以幫助你。有一個準則可以幫助你。

Usually, intransitive verbs are verbs of movement; go, run, walk.

通常，不及物動詞是運動的動詞，go，run，walk。

Another example of an intransitive verb is 'happen'.

另一個不及物動詞的例子是'發生'。

So transitive verbs require an object and it's generally a direct object.

所以轉折動詞需要一個對象，而且一般是直接賓語。

Intransitive verbs do not require an object and usually there's a preposition or an adverbial

不及物動詞不需要賓語，通常有一個介詞或副詞。

phrase after the verb. Some verbs are the third category: bitransitive.

動詞後的短語。有些動詞是第三類：位動詞。

As you can probably guess, a bitransitive verb is the one that can be used in a transitive situation

你大概可以猜到，位動詞是指可以在轉折情況下使用的動詞。

or an intransitive one. Often the meaning can change.

或者是一個不定式的。通常情況下，意思可以改變。

As an example, "He runs to the store." It has that feeling of movement.

舉個例子，"他跑去商店"。它有那種運動的感覺。

Now, if we change it, "He runs the store." It is actually correct, because run is a bitransitive

現在，如果我們把它改成 "他開店"。它實際上是正確的，因為運行是一個位移式的

verb. But the meaning is completely different.

動詞。但意思卻完全不同。

In case you were wondering, "He runs the store" means he manages the store, he controls the

如果你想知道，"他經營著這家店 "的意思是，他管理著這家店，他控制著這家店。

store. So transitive and intransitive verbs are very

存儲。所以，轉折性動詞和不轉折性動詞是很

important, basic parts of grammar, and they're connected with how you use an

重要的、基本的文法部分，它們與你如何使用一個新的文法系統有關。

object with the verb. There are three kinds: transitive, intransitive

物與動詞。有三種：轉折性、不轉折性。

and bitransitive. Transitive requires a direct object.

和位轉式。Transitive需要一個直接對象。

Intransitive does not require an object, but if there is an object, there is usually a

不動詞不需要對象，但如果有對象的話，通常有一個

prepositional phrase or an adverbial phrase. And bitransitive verbs swing both ways. You

介詞詞組或副詞詞組。而位動詞是雙向擺動的。你

can use them transitively or intransitively. But be careful because some verbs change meaning

可以用它們的轉折性或不轉折性。但是要小心，因為有些動詞會改變意思

when you use transitive or intransitive. Now you are masters of verbs and objects.

當你使用轉折詞或不轉折詞時。現在你們是動詞和賓語的主人了。

If you have any questions, you know what to do.

如果你有任何問題，你知道該怎麼做。
