Welcome back to another lesson about

歡迎再來上一節關於

confusing English verbs

混亂的英語動詞

because some English verbs are quite similar

因為有些英語動詞很相似

and sometimes it's hard to know which one

有時很難知道哪一個。

is the right one to use.

是一個正確的使用。

Last week, I talked about the verbs, been and gone.

上週，我講到了動詞，been和gone。

In this lesson, I'll be talking about the verbs

在這節課上，我將講到動詞

'to lend' and 'to borrow'.

'貸'和'借'。

And they're confusing because the meanings

而且它們很混亂，因為它們的意思是：

happen to be very similar

恰好

but different.

但不同。

But don't worry, in this lesson,

不過不用擔心，在這節課上。

I'll be sharing some tips

我會分享一些技巧

to help you use these verbs correctly

幫助你正確使用這些動詞

and remember which one is the correct one to use.

並記住哪一個是正確的使用。

Just like the difference between been and gone,

就像一直和消失的區別一樣。

the main difference between 'to lend' and 'to borrow'

借與不借的主要區別

is the direction of the action.

是行動的方向。

Okay, so what do these verbs actually mean?

好吧，那麼這些動詞到底是什麼意思呢？

'To lend' means to give something to someone

"借 "是指給別人東西的意思

for a short period of time

一時半會

and you expect to get it back again.

而你卻期望再次得到它。

I'll lend you some money when I get paid.

等我發了工資，我再借給你一些錢。

He lent his car to a friend for the weekend.

他把車借給朋友過週末。

It's important to note that with this verb,

需要注意的是，用這個動詞。

there is a difference

有區別

between British and American English.

英式英語和美式英語之間。

Lend is used in British English

英國英語中使用Lend

and instead, loan is used in American English.

而在美式英語中則使用貸款。

Now, lend is an irregular verb

現在，借出是一個不規則動詞

so the past tense form becomes lent.

所以過去式的形式變成了借貸。

Loan is a regular verb so it becomes

貸款是一個常規動詞，所以它變成了

loaned in the past tense.

借用了過去式。

Can you lend me some money?

你能借我點錢嗎？

Can you loan me some money?

你能借我點錢嗎？

Both of these sentences are the same.

這兩句都是一樣的。

Okay, so lend means to give something to someone

好吧，借是指把東西給別人的意思。

for a short period of time

一時半會

and you can expect it back again.

你可以期待它再次回來。

Now, when we use borrow, we simply need to switch

現在，當我們使用借貸時，我們只需要將

the action to the person who is receiving the item.

的動作，向接受物品的人。

'To borrow' means to get something from someone

"借 "是指從別人那裡拿東西的意思

with the intention of giving it back.

用意還。

You don't plan to keep it

你不打算保留它

and the person who gave it to you

和給你的人

expects to receive it back again.

期待再次收到回。

Now, borrow is a regular past tense verb

現在，借是一個普通的過去式動詞。

so we just need to add -ed to make it borrowed

所以我們只需要加上-ed就可以了。

in the past tense.

在過去式中。

Right, so let me show you.

對了，讓我給你看看。

Lend is similar to give.

借與給相似。

And borrow is similar to take or receive.

而借與取、受相似。

But both of these verbs mean

但這兩個動詞的意思是

that the action only happens for a short period of time.

該行動只在短時間內發生。

Let's take a closer look.

我們來仔細看看。

Can you lend me your car for the weekend?

你能借我你的車過週末嗎？

Can I borrow your car for the weekend?

我可以借你的車過週末嗎？

These two sentences are describing

這兩句是描述

exactly the same situation

異曲同工

but from a different perspective.

但從不同的角度來看。

The subject, so the person who is doing the action,

主體，所以是做動作的人。

is different in each sentence

每句都不一樣

so the verb must be different too.

所以動詞也要不同。

You can't say "Can I lend me your car for the weekend?"

你不能說 "我可以借你的車給我過週末嗎？"

Because the car is not mine

因為這車不是我的

so I can't lend the car to me

所以我不能把車借給我了。

or to anyone else for that matter.

或對其他任何人來說。

You can only lend something if it belongs to you.

只有屬於你的東西，你才能借給它。

You also can't say, "Can you borrow me your car?"

你也不能說："能不能把你的車借給我？"

And this is a really common mistake.

而這是一個很常見的錯誤。

The person who owns the car cannot borrow it.

車主不能借車。

Getting the information about who's giving and who's

掌握誰在捐獻和誰的資訊。

taking something is really important

取之有道

when you're using these verbs.

當你在使用這些動詞時。

So, let's make sure you're getting that part right.

所以，讓我們確保你得到這部分的權利。

So we have the subject and lend.

所以我們有了主體和借貸。

Now remember, the subject is the person

記住，主體是人

who is doing the action,

誰在做這個動作。

so the person who is lending

所以借出者

or who owns the object.

或誰擁有該物體。

We have subject with lend with our object pronoun

我們的賓語代詞有主語和藉詞的關係。

and our object.

和我們的對象。

So the object pronoun tells us

所以賓語代詞告訴我們

who is receiving the action.

誰在接受行動。

Can you lend me some money?

你能借我點錢嗎？

Now, lend can also be directly followed by the object

現在，lend也可以直接跟在對象後面。

but if you want to say who's receiving the action,

但如果你想說誰在接受行動。

you need to use the preposition, to.

你需要用介詞，to。

So subject, lend, object,

所以主體、借貸、客體。

to someone.

給某人。

Can you lend some money to me?

你能借點錢給我嗎？

Now, when using borrow

現在，當使用借用

you can't use an object pronoun after the verb.

你不能在動詞後面用賓語代詞。

You can't say "Can you borrow me your car?"

你不能說 "你能借我你的車嗎？"

But you can use subject with borrow and the object.

但你可以用主語與借語和賓語。

Can I borrow a pen?

我可以借一支筆嗎？

And then you can add the preposition, from,

然後你可以加上介詞，從。

and the person.

和人。

Can I borrow a pen from you?

我可以向你借一支筆嗎？

Can you lend a pen to Paul?

你能借筆給保羅嗎？

Okay are you ready to practise with me?

好了，你準備好和我一起練習了嗎？

Practise using lend and borrow.

練習使用借貸。

When I .... you my hairdryer, you said you'd give it back!

當我......我的電吹風給你的時候，你說你會還給我的!

When I lent you my hair dryer,

當我把吹風機借給你的時候。

you said, you'd give it back!

你說過，你會還給我的!

Now, there's an object pronoun here,

現在，這裡有一個賓語代詞。

so it can't be borrow, can it?

所以不能借，對不對？

And also take note of the tense

還要注意時態

used in the second clause.

在第二個分句中使用。

The past simple. So your verb needs to reflect this.

過去的簡單。所以你的動詞要體現這一點。

They said we could ... their lawnmower.

他們說我們可以... 他們的割草機。

Which one is it?

是哪一個？

They said we could borrow their lawnmower.

他們說我們可以借用他們的割草機。

Their lawnmower is not ours so it must be borrow.

他們的割草機不是我們的，所以必須借。

He'll ... him the money if he really needs it.

如果他真的需要錢，他會... ...給他的。

He'll lend him the money if he really needs it.

如果他真的需要錢，他會借給他的。

So there's an object pronoun here so it can't be borrow.

所以這裡有一個賓語代詞，所以不能借用。

She asked me if she could ... $500.

她問我能不能......500元。

She asked me if she could borrow $500.

她問我能不能借500元。

Now the clue here is in the verb asked.

現在，這裡的線索是在動詞問。

The person who is lending the item is not asking for it

借出物品的人並不是在索取。

are they?

是嗎？

So it must be borrow.

所以必須要借。

Okay well I hope that lesson was useful for you.

好了好了，希望這堂課對你有用。

Just remember that lend is to give and

只要記住，借貸是給予和

and borrow is to take.

而借就是拿。
