摘要:其实真正的英文说法是:✅go grocery shopping或shop at the supermarket。这两个表达才自然又地道。
「在超市买东西」可不是 buy things in supermarket!
老外听到这句,可能会一脸困惑:
“你是要买整间超市吗?”
其实真正的英文说法是:
✅ go grocery shopping 或 shop at the supermarket。
这两个表达才自然又地道。
举个栗子:
I usually go grocery shopping on weekends.
我通常周末去超市买菜。
I shop at the supermarket near my home.
我在家附近的超市买东西。
知识点划重点:
“go shopping” 泛指逛街买东西;
而 “go grocery shopping” 专指买菜、买日用品。
别小看这个差别,用错立刻暴露“英语课代表”的身份~
「I buy things in supermarket」哪里怪?
1️⃣ “in supermarket” 少了冠词,正确要说 in a supermarket 或 at the supermarket。
2️⃣ “buy things” 太笼统,老外不会这么说。
所以整句该改成
✅ I usually go shopping at the supermarket.
顺带一提,「买菜」在英文里不是“buy vegetables”那么死板,
你直接说 go grocery shopping 就完美涵盖所有买菜买水果买酱油的行为~
延伸一下:「我去趟超市」怎么地道说?
很多人第一反应是:
❌ I go to supermarket.
但正确是:
✅ I'm going to the supermarket.
(注意 the!)
或者更口语一点:
✅ I'm heading to the store.
老外常常用 “store” 代指超市,比如 Walmart、Target 这种~
