「隨時」別翻譯為「at anytime」,別被這些小細節坑啦

1、「隨時」千萬別翻譯為「at anytime」

When to Use Anytime (One Word)

Anytime, used as a single word, is an adverb, and it has a meaning similar to 「whenever,」 「at any time,」 or 「 on any occasion.」

作為一個單詞使用時,anytime是一個副詞,它的意思類似於「whenever(不論何時)」, 「at any time(隨時)」, or 「on any occasion(在任何場合)」。

例句:

If you have any questions, you can contact me anytime.

如果有任何問題,你可以隨時聯繫我。

When to Use Any Time (Two Words)

Any time is a noun phrase, and it has a meaning similar to 「any amount of time”.

Any time是一個名詞詞組,它和「any amount of time」的意思一樣。

Just like the one-word anytime, the two-word any time also functions adverbially, but it also has additional functions as a noun phrase.

就像單詞anytime一樣,兩個單詞的any time也有副詞用法,但它除此之外還可以作為名詞詞組。

那麼大家可能就會有疑問了,既然這倆都可以作為副詞,那是不是就意味著他們可以互相替換呢?其實並不可以。在我們在造句的時候,尤其需要注意他們與介詞連用時,只有分開的兩個詞 any time 可以和介詞連用,

舉個例子:

I can hang out at any time tomorrow night. (CORRECT)

I can hang out at anytime tomorrow night. (WRONG)

因為介詞後是不可以接副詞的,大家在寫作時一定要注意這些細節哦~

2、「體檢」千萬別翻譯成”body check”!

曾經熬過的夜、吃過的各種重口味食物,報應就清清楚楚地寫在體檢報告上了。今天我們來說說體檢的各種表達吧!有兩種常見表達,一種是:physical exam,即:身體檢查,這裡的physical,意思是:身體的。另一種常見的說法則是:checkup(或check-up),兩種說法都很常見,大家可以替代使用。

①check-up/ˈtʃek.ʌp/

a medical examination to test your general state of health

體檢,健康檢查

例句:

She goes to her doctor for regular check-ups.

她去醫生那裡接受常規體檢。

②a dental check-up

牙齒檢查

③emperature 體溫

the measurement of how hot your body is

測量你的身體有多熱

例句:

She had such a high temperature that she was immediately taken to hospital.

她發高燒,立即被送往醫院。

④blood pressure 血壓

a measure of the pressure at which the blood flows through the body

一種測量血液流經身體時的壓力的方法

例句:

The nurse will take your blood pressure in a moment.

護士會馬上給你量血壓。
⑤to have/suffer from high/low blood pressure

患高/低血壓

⑥pulse 脈搏

the regular beat of blood as it is sent around the body

血液在體內循環時的有規律的搏動

例句:

The doctor started the examination with taking my pulse and blood pressure.

醫生開始測我的脈搏和血壓。

去具體進行某個體檢項目,假如說,你想檢查一下你的嗓子,千萬別說examine my throat,而應該用have my throat examined
