办公室系列口语之档案
<p>公司里的紧张程度是人所共知的。要是恰巧你的电脑坏了，要技术来修，你肯定想知道要等多久才能修好、再开始工作。那么这个用英语该怎么说呢？答案就在下面。</p><p>1. <span word="Where">Where</span> <span word="did">did</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="keep">keep</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="files">files</span>?</p><p>你的档案都放在哪里？</p><p>你把档案“放”哪里，一般情況下我们大概会说：<span word="Where">Where</span> <span word="did">did</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="put">put</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="files">files</span>? 其实说 <span word="Where">Where</span> <span word="did">did</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="keep">keep</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="files">files</span>? 也是可以的。严格说来 <span word="put">put</span> 是单纯“放”在那里，而 <span word="keep">keep</span> 则有“保存”的意思。不过两者其实意思很接近。比方说你喝了牛奶还剩一些，我对你说：<span word="Please">Please</span> <span word="put">put</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="milk">milk</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="refrigerator">refrigerator</span>. (請把牛奶放在冰箱。) 或是 <span word="Please">Please</span> <span word="keep">keep</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="milk">milk</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="refrigerator">refrigerator</span>. 都行。</p><p>2. <span word="How">How</span> <span word="long">long</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="gonna">gonna</span> <span word="be">be</span>? <span word="Probably">Probably</span>?</p><p>大概要多久啊？</p><p>当我们请人家办一件事时，最不希望在那里苦等。所以呢，最好的办法就是先问一下：<span word="How">How</span> <span word="long">long</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="gonna">gonna</span> <span word="be">be</span>? （需要多久呢？）有时可以视情况在句尾加上 <span word="Probably">Probably</span>? 就是请对方大概估算一下，不需太过精确。比方说你电脑坏了，要技术人员帮你修理，就不妨顺便问一下：<span word="How">How</span> <span word="long">long</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="gonna">gonna</span> <span word="be">be</span>? <span word="Probably">Probably</span>?（大概需要多久？）这里 <span word="gonna">gonna</span> 是口语讲法，相当于 <span word="going">going</span> <span word="to">to</span>。</p><p>像这种“大概多久”的问法，也可以用<span word="approximately">approximately</span> 这个词。比方说：<span word="Approximately">Approximately</span> <span word="how">how</span> <span word="long">long</span> <span word="will">will</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="take">take</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="arrive">arrive</span> <span word="home">home</span>? （大概要多久才能到家呢？）</p>
