Hey everyone and welcome back for another deep dive.

大家好，歡迎回到我們的深度學習時間！

Yes, welcome back.

是的，歡迎回來！

Today we are tackling two small but mighty words that often trip up English learners.

今天我們要討論兩個小但強大的詞，這兩個詞經常讓英語學習者感到困惑。

Yeah, they can be tricky.

對，它們確實有點棘手。

Lend and borrow.

"Lend" 和 "borrow"。

Exactly. Those two.

沒錯，就是這兩個。

They seem simple enough, right?

它們看起來很簡單，對吧？

But using them correctly can really boost your confidence in everyday conversations.

但如果能正確使用，真的可以提升你在日常對話中的自信！

Oh, absolutely. It makes a big difference.

哦，絕對是，這會帶來很大的不同。

So, let's unravel the mystery.

那麼，讓我們來解開這個謎團吧！

Let's do it.

來吧！

And make these words our own.

讓這兩個詞成為我們熟練使用的一部分。

Sounds good.

聽起來不錯！

All right. So, first up, let's talk about Lend.

好，首先我們來談談 "Lend"。

Okay. Lend.

好的，"Lend"。

When you lend something,

當你 "lend" 某樣東西時，

Uh-huh.

嗯哼。

you're giving it to someone temporarily with the expectation that they'll give it back.

你是暫時把東西借給某人，並且期待對方會歸還。

Yes. Exactly. It's like you're giving something on loan, right?

是的，沒錯。就像你在出借某樣東西，對吧？

It's like a short-term loan of your possessions.

這就像是你物品的短期借出。

Yeah. And there's definitely that understanding that it's coming back to you.

對，而且這一定是基於對方會還回來的前提。

Abs. Like if you lend your friend a book, right,

沒錯，比如說如果你把一本書借給朋友，對吧？

you expect to see it back on your shelf eventually.

你會期望這本書最終回到你的書架上。

Exactly. It's not a permanent goodbye. It's more like see you later.

沒錯，這並不是永久的告別，而是「之後再見」。

Right. Exactly.

對，完全正確。

Like the bank lent me money.

比如「銀行借錢給我」。

Perfect example. They fully expect to get that money back with interest.

完美的例子。他們完全預期這筆錢會被還回來，還帶有利息。

Hopefully.

希望如此。

Of course, with interest.

當然，還會有利息。

So, think of it like this. Okay.

所以，這樣想吧，好嗎？

If you're at school and you forgot your pen.

如果你在學校忘了帶筆，

Oh, yeah. Classic scenario.

哦，對，經典的情境。

You could ask your friend, "Can you lend me a pen?"

你可以問你的朋友：「Can you lend me a pen?」（你可以借我一支筆嗎？）

Yeah, that's perfect.

對，這是完美的說法。

And hopefully they'll say yes.

希望對方會說「好啊」。

Right. Fingers crossed.

對，祈禱一下。

Now, let's flip the script and talk about "borrow."

現在，我們來換個角度談談 "borrow"。

Okay. So, "borrow."

好的，來談談 "borrow"。

"Borrow" is when you are on the receiving end.

"Borrow" 是當你是接收方時使用的詞。

Uh-huh.

嗯哼。

It's when you need something temporarily and you ask to use it, right?

這是當你暫時需要某樣東西並請求使用它的時候，對吧？

So, you're the one in need.

所以，你是那個需要東西的人。

Exactly. And you're making that need known.

沒錯，而且你清楚表達了這個需求。

Right. Like, "Can I borrow your glasses? I can't see the board."

對，比如「Can I borrow your glasses? I can't see the board.」（我可以借你的眼鏡嗎？我看不清黑板。）

Perfect example that highlights the need from the borrower's perspective.

這是一個完美的例子，突出了 "borrow" 是從借用者的角度來說的。

Exactly. And just like "lend" uses "to," "borrow" uses "from" to show where you're getting something from.

沒錯，就像 "lend" 會搭配 "to" 一樣，"borrow" 會搭配 "from" 來表示你從哪裡借來的東西。

Okay. So, it's "borrow from."

好的，所以應該是 "borrow from"。

Yes. "Borrow from" to show the source.

是的，"borrow from" 用來表示來源。

Precisely like "I borrowed a book from the library."

完全正確，比如「I borrowed a book from the library.」（我從圖書館借了一本書。）

Ah, yes. The library, the ultimate source for borrowing books.

啊，對，圖書館就是借書的最佳場所。

Absolutely. They're all about lending and borrowing.

沒錯，圖書館就是專門提供借書和還書的地方。

So, to recap, we've got "lend," which is to give something temporarily, right?

所以，總結一下，我們有 "lend"，意思是暫時借出某樣東西，對吧？

And "borrow," which is to receive something temporarily.

而 "borrow" 則是指暫時借入某樣東西。

Exactly. But they always go in opposite directions, right? It's like a two-way street.

沒錯，但這兩個詞的方向總是相反的，對吧？就像是一條雙向道路。

It is. You lend something to someone and you borrow something from someone.

沒錯，你 "lend" 某樣東西給某人，而你 "borrow" 某樣東西自某人。

And those prepositions "to" and "from"—so important.

而這些介系詞 "to" 和 "from" —— 非常重要。

Very key.

絕對是關鍵。

Using the wrong one—

用錯的話——

Oh, yeah.

哦，對啊。

—can lead to a lot of confusion.

—— 會讓人非常困惑。

Absolutely. Like imagine saying, "I borrowed a book to the library."

完全正確，比如說「I borrowed a book to the library.」（我把書借到圖書館）。

That would be very confusing.

這樣說會讓人非常困惑。

Yeah. It just doesn't make sense.

對，這完全說不通。

Not at all.

完全沒道理。

So, to sum it all up, "lend" is to give, "borrow" is to receive.

所以，總結來說，"lend" 是借出，"borrow" 是借入。

Precisely.

完全正確。

And those little prepositions "to" and "from" are your best friends. They are essential for clear communication.

而這些小小的介系詞 "to" 和 "from" 是你的好朋友，它們對於清楚表達意思至關重要。

They really are.

真的沒錯。

And the best way to really master these words is to just start using them.

掌握這些詞最好的方法就是開始使用它們。

Yes. Get out there and practice.

沒錯，去實際練習吧！

Exactly. Don't be shy.

完全正確，別害羞。

Make it a game.

把它當成遊戲來玩。

I love that idea.

我喜歡這個想法！

Try to catch yourself lending and borrowing things throughout the day,

試著在一天當中觀察自己借出和借入的情境，

and notice how those prepositions fit in.

並注意這些介系詞是如何搭配的。

Right. Pay attention to how you use "to" and "from."

對，注意你是如何使用 "to" 和 "from" 的。

It'll become second nature before you know it.

很快你就會覺得這是再自然不過的事了。

It will. You'll be lending and borrowing like a pro in no time.

沒錯，你很快就能像專家一樣靈活使用 "lend" 和 "borrow"。

Exactly. And you'll sound so much more confident in your English conversations.

完全正確，這樣你的英語對話聽起來會更加自信。

Confidence is key, and that's what we're all about here on the deep dive.

自信是關鍵，這正是我們在這次深度學習中要強調的。

Absolutely. We're here to help you dive deep and master those tricky English words.

沒錯，我們就是要幫助你深入學習，掌握這些容易混淆的英文單字。

So, keep practicing and keep those questions coming.

所以，繼續練習，並隨時提出你的問題！

我們隨時都在這裡幫助你。

下次見，祝你使用 "lend" 和 "borrow" 愉快！

Bye for now.

暫時再見！

See you next time.

下次見！

Bye bye.

掰掰！
