Hello! I'm Emma from mmmEnglish!

哈囉！我是 mmmEnglish 的 Emma

If I put these verbs in front of you, you'd probably tell me

如果我把這些字放在你面前，你可能會告訴我

that they're simple!

這也太簡單了吧

They're easy! You know them, right?

它們的確很簡單，你認識這些字，對吧？

These are simple verbs.

這些都是非常基本的動詞

But they are quite similar to each other.

但是它們實在是太相似了

It could be hard to decide which one to use, sometimes.

有時候我們會很難決定，到底應該用哪一個字才對

So in this lesson, we'll take a closer look

所以，今天這堂課，我們來仔細分析

at the differences between them

它們之間的不同之處

so that you can feel more confident when you use them.

這樣一來，當你需要使用它們時，能更有自信地說出來。

Am I going?

“Am I going?”

Or am I coming?

或是 “Am I coming?”

These two verbs both describe movement between

這兩個動詞皆用來描述

the person speaking and someone else.

說話者與別人之間的動作

Or something else.

或與物品之間的動作

But the difference is in the direction of the movement.

而不同的地方就在於，我們執行動作的方向

當對方從別處往你這裡過來時

When you use come,

the movement is from somewhere else

我們使用“come”這個單字

to where the speaker is.

And when I say somewhere else,

在這裡，「別處」可以指任何地方

that could be the other side of the world,

可以是世界的另一頭

or it could just be the other side of the room.

也可以是房間的另一邊

It doesn't matter!

都可以

What is important is the direction of the movement.

重點在於執行動作的方向

From somewhere, to the speaker.

從某處到說話者所在的地點

So in this case, it's me.

在這個例子中，我就是說話者

So it's from somewhere, to the speaker.

「從」某處「到」說話者的地點

Are you coming to our house for dinner tonight?

「今晚要來我們家跟我們一起共進晚餐嗎？」

Are you coming to Melbourne next month?

「你下個月會來墨爾本嗎？」

Tell me when you're coming to Australia.

「你要來澳洲的時候，記得要告訴我哦！」

Go is usually used when the movement happens in the

而當執行動作的方向相反時

opposite direction.

我們使用“go”這個單字

From, where the speaker is

從說話者處

to another place.

到另一個地方

Are you going to Thailand for the holidays?

「你會去泰國度假嗎？」

So here, the speaker lives somewhere else,

所以在這個例子中，說話者住在其他地方

not in Thailand.

而不是在泰國

And they're not in Thailand at the time of speaking.

在說話的當下他們並不在泰國

Are you going to Ben's party on Friday?

「你星期五會去 Ben 的派對嗎？」

So that's from the place, where you are

從你在的地方

or you usually are, to Ben's party.

或你常待的地方，前往 Ben 的派對

Now if I was at Ben's party and I called you,

假設我現在在 Ben 的派對上，我打電話給你

I could say,

我可以說，

are you coming to Ben's party?

「你會來參加 Ben 的派對嗎？」

So I'm asking if you'll move

我在問的是，

from the place where you are, to Ben's party.

從你所在的地方到 Ben 的派對。

So I used come.

所以我用了“come”

So far, so good, right?

到目前為止，還可以吧？

Now you might be talking about another person,

現在，你可能在談論某一個人

someone who is not the speaker

不是說話者

or the listener.

也不是聽的人

You're talking about other people.

你在談論其他人

Or something else.

或者是其他東西

And this is where things can get a little tricky!

這讓事情變得有點棘手

Because you can use either come or go

因為你既可以使用“come”也可以使用“go”

Look at this example.

看看這個例子

My mum came to help me.

「我的媽媽過來幫助我。」

So this is simple,

這非常簡單，

because I'm part of this activity.

因為我是這個動作的一部分

She came to me.

她來找我

But here, my mum went to help my brother.

但在這裡「我的媽媽“去”幫助我的弟弟。」

My mum came to help my brother.

「我的媽媽“來”幫助我的弟弟。」

Now both of these sentences are correct.

這兩個句子都是正確的

I could use either come or go.

“come”或“go”我都可以使用

But it depends on whose viewpoint I take.

但這取決於我採用誰的觀點

Which person, who's involved in the activity

誰參與了這個動作？

am I describing or giving information about?

我是在描述還是在提供相關的信息？

You use go when you're using the viewpoint

當你採用做這件事情的人的觀點時

of the person doing the action.

我們用“go”

My mum went to help my brother.

「我的媽媽“去”幫助我的弟弟。」

My mum is doing the action.

我的媽媽正在做這個動作

And you use come,

而當你採用接收動作的人的觀點時

when you use the receiver's viewpoint,

the person who is receiving the action.

我們用“come”

My mum came to help my brother.

「我的媽媽“來”幫助我的弟弟。」

So my brother is receiving the action.

所以我的弟弟正在接受這個動作

So we've used come.

所以我們使用“come”

Now these two verbs are made much clearer

假如有一扇門的話

with a door.

我們會更清楚這兩個字該如何使用

'Come in' and 'go in' are both ways to instruct someone

當我們要進入某個房間或建築物時

to enter a room or a building.

“come in”和“go in”都是指示別人時可以用的句子

But, there's a difference!

但是是有區別的

So now both you and I are outside together.

現在你和我都在外面

So I can say to you, "let's go in"

所以我可以對你說 "let's go in"

Let's go from where we are,

讓我們從這裡

to another place, or inside.

到另一個地方，或裡面。

Or when I'm inside, and you're outside,

當我在裡面，你在外面時

I can say "Come in"

我可以說"Come in"

Move from where you are, towards me.

從你所在的地方走向我

Come inside the house.

進屋吧

Okay so let's change the context.

好的，讓我們換一下背景

Are you coming to Sarah's wedding?

「你會來莎拉的婚禮嗎？」

So this suggests,

這句話表明了

that the speaker will also be at the wedding.

說話者也將參加婚禮

Are you going to Sarah's wedding?

「你會去莎拉的婚禮嗎？」

Now this suggests that the speaker

這表明了說話者

may be not going there.

可能不會去那裡

Or maybe they haven't decided yet.

或是他們還沒有決定

Are you going to visit your sister?

「你會去拜訪你的妹妹嗎？」

So that's in a place that is away from the listener's

說話者在一個遠離聆聽者

current place.

現在所在的地方。

Are you coming to visit your sister?

「你會來拜訪你的妹妹嗎？」

And here, we're being a bit more specific.

在這裡，讓我們更具體一點

The listener is in a different place.

聆聽者在別的地方

But, they'll move to the location of their sister.

但是，他們會移動到他們妹妹所在的地點

And probably the speaker too.

也許說話者也會

So there you have it!

所以現在你知道了

Some really important differences

這些區別非常重要

to keep in mind about the verbs, go and come.

讓你記住這兩個字，“go”還有“come”

你可能覺得他們很簡單
