Wrong!

寫錯了！

Hello guys. My name is Fanny.

大家好，我是 Fanny

and in this video I'm gonna tell you about the most common English mistake in the universe.

在這部影片中我要告訴你們全宇宙最常犯的英文錯誤

Now even native speakers make that mistake.

甚至母語人士也會犯這個錯誤

My mother makes that mistake.

我媽就會

And to be honest, sometimes I do.

而且老實說，有時候我也會

Its not so much a speaking mistake. It's a writing mistake.

這不太算是口說的錯誤，而是手寫的錯誤

It's actually to write the possessive adjective 'your' instead of

事實上是寫所有格形容詞「your」而不是

the contraction 'you're' from 'you are'.

「you are」的縮寫「you're」

This is the most common English mistake

這是最常見的英語錯誤

But you need to fix it if you want to speak proper English.

但如果你想要說出正確的英語就必須要修正它

Okay, so let's take a look at a few example sentences together.

好啦，我們一起來看看一些例句

"Your daughter is pretty."

「你的女兒很漂亮。」

So 'your daughter'.

所以「你的女兒」

This is the possessive adjective of 'you'.

這是「你」的所有格形容詞

Whose daughter?

誰的女兒？

Yours.

你的

Okay?

好嗎？

So the daughter belongs to you.

所以這位女兒屬於你

That's a possessive adjective.

那是所有格形容詞

So the sentence is correct.

所以這個句子是正確的

In the second sentence,

第二句

"You're a pretty daughter."

「你是個漂亮的女兒。」

See the difference?

看到差異了嗎？

Now this is not a possessive adjective.

現在這個不是所有格形容詞

This is the verb 'to be'.

這是動詞「是」

But it's the contraction, so it's "You are a pretty daughter."

但這是縮寫，所以原句是「你是 (You are) 個漂亮的女兒。」

and the contraction is "You're a pretty daughter."

而縮寫是「你是 (You're) 個漂亮的女兒。」

The problem here is that 'your' - possessive adjectives and

這裡的問題是「your」- 所有格形容詞以及

'you're' - contraction of the verb 'to be'

「you're」- 動詞「是」的縮寫

have the exact same sound in many English-speaking regions.

在許多說英語的地區有一模一樣的發音

Okay it's very similar.

非常相似

So when we speak, it's the same.

所以當我們說話時，是一樣的

People don't hear the difference.

人們聽不出差別

So the very important thing is to write it properly.

所以非常重要的是把它寫對

And there are so many spelling mistakes.

而有許多拼寫的錯誤

If we look at the third sentence:

看看第三句

"Your a nice person."

「你的一個好人。」

What do you think?

你覺得呢？

Is the sentence right or wrong?

這個句子是對的還是錯的？

Well it's wrong.

它是錯的

"Your a nice person."

「你的 (your) 一個好人。」

"You are a nice person."

「你是 (you are) 一個好人。」

So it's the verb 'to be'.

所以是動詞「是」

Okay, so it's not 'your'.

好，所以並不是「你的 (your)」

This is the possessive adjective

這是所有格形容詞

and it should be "you're"- you apostrophe 're'.

而且應該寫作「you're」- you 一撇 re

Okay?

好嗎？

I hope you understand the difference between the

希望你們了解

possessive adjective 'your' and the verb 'to be' contracted so "you're".

所有格形容詞「your」和動詞「是」的縮寫「you're」之間的差異

Okay so spelling is key here.

所以拼法是這裡的關鍵

And when you speak English, people don't hear the difference.

當你講英語時，人們是聽不出差異的

so it's fine

所以沒關係

but it's important to know how to write it and in fact if you look at Facebook

但知道怎麼寫很重要，而其實如果你看看臉書網頁

pages or Twitter accounts, even from native speakers,

或推特帳號，甚至是母語人士

you will see this mistake.

你都會看到這個錯誤

Don't hesitate to correct native speakers. Okay?

別猶豫去糾正母語人士，好嗎？

Everybody should stop making that huge mistake.

大家都該停止犯這麼大的錯

I hope you now have a better understanding and you will not make that mistake again.

希望現在你們有更加了解，並且不會再犯這個錯誤
