這句聽起來是不是哪裡怪怪的…？

🙅‍♂️你以為是在問：「這樣可以嗎？」

但母語者聽起來會是：「你還好嗎？你是不是生病了？」

正確句型用法：

Are you OK? 👉 用來關心人的健康或情緒

例：You look pale. Are you OK?

Is it OK? 👉 問事情行不行／可不可以

例：Let’s grab some bubble tea. Is it OK?

Is that OK with you? 👉 更禮貌地徵求意見

例：I’ll drive today. Is that OK with you?

Are you OK with + 名詞／動名詞? 👉 詢問能否接受某事

例：Are you OK with going to the night market?

Welcome back to MJ English. You know, uh, sometimes I hear English learners mixing up a really basic question and uh, well, it's when they're trying to ask is it okay?

歡迎回到MJ English。 你知道嗎，有時候我聽到英文學習者把一個非常基本的問句搞混了，那就是當他們想要問「這樣可以嗎？」的時候。

Oh yeah. Yeah, and it all boils down to this super common phrase. So today we're going to really break down are you okay and make sure you're using it right.

喔對啊。沒錯，而且這一切都歸結於這個超級常見的片語。所以今天，我們將真正解析"Are you okay?"，並確保你正確使用它。

And of course, we'll give you some perfect alternatives for when you're actually trying to ask, you know, is it okay? or is that all right?

當然，我們也會提供一些完美的替代方案，適用於當你實際上試圖問「這樣可以嗎？」或「那樣可以嗎？」的時候。

Yeah, it's amazing how just changing a couple of words can completely change what you're asking, you know? It's like these subtle things can make a huge difference in English.

是啊，令人驚訝的是，僅僅改變幾個字就能完全改變你所詢問的內容，你知道嗎？就像這些微妙的事情就能在英文中產生巨大的差異。

Totally. So let's get right into it. Um, are you okay? What's that really about?

完全正確。 所以我們就直接進入正題吧。 嗯， "Are you okay?" 到底是什麼意思呢？

Well, at its core, are you okay is all about someone's well-being. Like you're checking in on them physically or emotionally. If someone looks sick or, you know, maybe they've been through something tough, that's when you'd use it.

嗯，就本質而言，"Are you okay?" 就是關於某人的幸福安康。就像你在身體上或情緒上關心他們一樣。如果有人看起來生病了，或者，你知道，他們可能經歷了一些艱難的事情，那時你就會使用它。

Okay, I see. Yeah, like, you know, you look a little pale. Are you okay? Or heard about your fall. Are you okay now? Those kind of situations.

喔，我了解。 沒錯，像是，你知道的，「你臉色有點蒼白。你還好嗎？」 或者「聽說你跌倒了。你現在還好嗎？」諸如此類的情況。

Right, right. Like, are you feeling all right? basically.

沒錯，沒錯。 基本上就像是「你感覺還好嗎？」

Exactly. But here's the thing I see tripping people up. Sometimes learners use, are you okay? when they're actually trying to ask if something's cool with someone, you know? Like if they agree with a plan.

完全沒錯。 但是我看到人們絆倒的地方是這樣的。 有時候，學習者使用 "Are you okay?"，當他們實際上想問某件事是否對某人來說很OK，你知道嗎？像是他們是否同意一項計畫。

Oh, yeah, I've heard that. It can be confusing. Yeah. Imagine saying, let's grab some popcorn chicken. Are you okay? They probably mean, does popcorn chicken sound good? But it kind of comes across like, are you physically capable of getting popcorn chicken right now, you know?

喔，對啊，我聽說過。 那可能會讓人感到困惑。沒錯。 想像一下你說：「我們去買鹹酥雞好不好。你好嗎？」他們可能的意思是「鹹酥雞聽起來如何？」但它聽起來有點像是，「你現在有體力去買鹹酥雞嗎？」

Yeah, it totally shifts the meaning. Right. It goes from a suggestion to like a health check.

沒錯，它完全轉移了意思。 對啊。 它從一個提議變成像是健康檢查。

Yeah, yeah. So clearly, are you okay isn't the way to go when you're looking for agreement or permission.

沒錯，沒錯。 所以很明顯地，當你在尋求同意或允許時，"Are you okay?" 並不是正確的用法。

Exactly. So let's get you guys equipped with the right phrases for when you want to ask is it okay. Yeah. What are our best bets here?

完全正確。 所以我們就讓你們配備正確的片語，以便在你想要問「這樣可以嗎？」的時候派上用場。 沒錯。 我們這裡最好的選擇是什麼呢？

Well, the simplest one is just straight up, is it okay? Okay. Another one is, is that okay with you?

嗯，最簡單的一個就是直接說 "Is it okay?"。 好的。 另一個是 "Is that okay with you?" (你覺得這樣可以嗎？)

And then there's, are you okay with something?. That one's good for checking someone's preference or comfort level.

然後還有 "Are you okay with something?"。 這一個很適合用來確認某人的偏好或舒適度。

Perfect. Can you give us some examples for each of those? Sure. So for is it okay? You could say, let's grab some bubble tea. Is it okay? It's clear you're asking if they're down for bubble tea.

完美。 你可以給我們一些這些句子的例子嗎？ 當然。 所以關於 "Is it okay?"，你可以說，「我們去買珍珠奶茶。這樣可以嗎？」。 很明顯地，你是在問他們是否想喝珍奶。

Right, right. Makes sense. And then for is that okay with you? Maybe something like, I'll drive tonight. Is that okay with you?

沒錯，沒錯。 說得通。 然後關於 "Is that okay with you?"，也許可以這樣說，「我今晚來開車。你覺得這樣如何？」

That way you're checking if your offer works for them. Okay, yeah, that's a good one.

這樣你就可以確認你的提議是否對他們有幫助。 好的，沒錯，這是一個好例子。

And lastly, for are you okay with something? You could say something like, are you okay with eating spicy food? That's all about figuring out their preference.

最後，關於 "Are you okay with something?" 你可以說，「你吃辣OK嗎？」。 這一切都是為了搞清楚他們的偏好。

Awesome. That covers it perfectly. Yeah, the main takeaway is are you okay? Yeah. is for well-being. Like, are you all right?

太棒了！ 這涵蓋了一切。 沒錯，主要重點是 "Are you okay?" 沒錯。 是關於幸福安康。 像是，「你沒事吧？」

And when you're asking if something's acceptable or if someone agrees, go with is it okay? Is that okay with you? Or are you okay with something?

而當你在問某件事是否可以接受，或者某人是否同意時，就用 "Is it okay?"。 "Is that okay with you?" (你覺得那樣可以嗎？) 或是 "Are you okay with something?"。

Couldn't have said it better myself. Perfect. So, just to sum things up. Are you okay is for checking if someone is feeling good, physically and emotionally.

我說得再好也不過如此了。完美。 好的，為了總結一下，"Are you okay?" 是用來確認某人的身體和情緒是否良好。

And when you want to know if something's cool, if someone agrees, like, sound good. That's when you use is it okay? Is that okay with you? you know, that kind of thing.

而當你想知道某件事是不是很棒，某人是否同意，像是聽起來不錯時，你就用 "Is it okay?"。"Is that okay with you?"，你知道，就是那樣。

Yeah. That's a great way to put it. Paying attention to that small difference is going to make your English sound super clear and natural.

沒錯。 這是個很棒的說法。 注意到這種小差異會讓你的英文聽起來非常清晰且自然。

Totally agree. We hope you guys found this helpful. Remember, small tweaks can really change what you're asking. So keep an ear out for these phrases.
