以下句子中,etc. 的用法全錯。你知道錯在哪裡嗎?
Don't forget to bring a pen, an eraser, some paper, and etc.
I went to supermarket and bought vegetables, oranges, and apples, etc.
大家都知道 etc. 是 et cetera 的簡寫,意思是:等等,以及其他。
它的英文意思是 "and other similar things"。
第一句錯是因為 etc. 意思中已包括 "and",所以我們不會說 "and etc.";第二句錯是因為 "apples" 前的 "and" 是多餘的。
上面的例句應改為:
Don't forget to bring a pen, an eraser, some paper, etc.
I went to supermarket and bought vegetables, oranges, apples, etc.
