30秒搞懂 建議的英文是 advice 還是 advise？ 用法不同差別

建議的英文 advice 和 advise 是兩個常常被混淆的詞彙。advice 是名詞，意思是「建議」，advise 是動詞，意思是「給予建議」。

名詞：建議的英文 advice 用法

advice 作為名詞時不可數，所以我們不能說 “an advice” 或 “advices”。如果要將 advice 作為可數名詞使用，需要加上 a piece of。例如：

• I have two pieces of advice for you about the holiday.

以下是 advice 的一些例句：

• I have some advice for you: stay away from Margaret.
• She gave him a lot of advice, but I don’t think he listened.
• I have two pieces of advice for you about the holiday.

動詞：建議的英文 advise 用法

advise 作為動詞時，後面可以跟名詞或動名詞。例如：

• I advise you to lose weight.
• They finally did what we advised.

以下是 advise 的一些例句：

• I strongly advise you to lose weight.
• They finally did what we advised.

常見錯誤

• 錯誤：She gave him a lot of advices.
• 正確：She gave him a lot of advice.
• 錯誤：I advise you to lose an weight.
• 正確：I advise you to lose weight.
