  • 「很期待見到你」別再說 looking forward to meet!to 後面為什麼要加 ing


    寫信給客戶結尾打 I'm looking forward to meet you?look forward to 的 to 是介系詞,後面要接 V-ing:looking forward to meeting you。這集用寄信給外國客戶的情境,教你分辨兩種 to、email 正式結尾 I look forward to hearing from you,還有同樣會寫錯的 be used to。

    🗣️ 情境對話 Dialogue


    場景:週二下午,台北的辦公室;Amy 要寄信給下週來台的加拿大客戶,請外國同事 Daniel 幫她看一下結尾。


    Amy: Daniel, can you check my email before I send it? It's to our client from Canada.

    (Daniel,我寄信前可以幫我看一下嗎?是寄給我們加拿大的客戶。)


    Daniel: Sure. Read me the last line.

    (好啊。最後一句念給我聽。)


    Amy: I'm looking forward to meet you next week.

    (我很期待下週見到你。(to 後面用了原形 meet))


    Daniel: Almost. It's looking forward to meeting you, not meet you.

    (差一點。要說 looking forward to meeting you,不是 meet you。)


    Amy: Wait, really? I thought to always comes before the base verb. Like, I want to meet you.

    (等等,真的嗎?我以為 to 後面都接原形動詞。像 I want to meet you。)


    Daniel: Usually, yes. But in looking forward to, the to works like for. So you need meeting, or a noun like your visit.

    (通常是。可是 looking forward to 的 to 用法像 for,所以要用 meeting,或是接名詞,像 your visit。)


    Amy: Got it. I'm looking forward to meeting you next week. Better?

    (懂了。I'm looking forward to meeting you next week. 這樣比較好嗎?)


    Daniel: Perfect. And for a client email, you can also end with, I look forward to hearing from you.

    (完美。寫給客戶的信,也可以用 I look forward to hearing from you. 結尾。)


    Amy: Nice. And if a friend says see you Saturday, can I just say, I'm looking forward?

    (讚。那如果朋友說週六見,我可以只回 I'm looking forward 嗎?)


    Daniel: Add to it. I'm looking forward to it. Without it, it sounds like you stopped in the middle.

    (後面加 to it:I'm looking forward to it。不加的話,聽起來像話講到一半。)
