用旅行機場教英文所有格與代名詞
機場的英文標示其實是最好的文法教材
你有沒有注意過,機場裡面到處都是代名詞?
抬頭看螢幕:"Your gate is B12." 櫃檯人員說:"May I see your passport?" 廣播響起:"Passengers traveling with children, please proceed to your gate." 安檢人員問:"Is this bag yours?"
你每天在機場聽到、看到的這些字——your、yours、this、that、my、mine——全部都是代名詞。它們是英文裡最常被用到、也最常被搞混的東西。
今天就用一趟出國旅程,從報到到登機,把代名詞和所有格全部搞清楚。
第一站:報到櫃檯
所有格形容詞(Possessive Adjectives)
這些字放在名詞前面,表示「誰的」:
| 人稱 | 所有格形容詞 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|
| I | my | my passport |
| you | your | your luggage |
| he | his | his boarding pass |
| she | her | her seat |
| it | its | its wings |
| we | our | our flight |
| they | their | their gate |
報到的時候你會聽到:
"May I see your passport, please?" "Can I check your luggage?" "Your flight is on time." "Your gate is C3. Boarding starts at 2:30."
每句都有所有格形容詞。它們修飾後面的名詞,不能單獨使用。
常見錯誤:
❌ This is
mepassport.(中文影響:「我 passport」)✅ This is my passport.
❌ She gave me
shephone number.(中文影響:「她電話號碼」)✅ She gave me her phone number.
中文說「我的」,英文也說 my。但中文的「她」可以直接修飾名詞,英文不行。She 是主詞代名詞,her 才是所有格。
Its vs. It's
這個在機場也會看到:
"The airline updated its policy." → 它的政策(所有格) "It's a long flight." → It is 的縮寫
一個有撇號,一個沒有。意思完全不同。Its = 它的,It's = It is / It has。
機場公告常常出現:"The airport and its terminals are open 24 hours." 這裡 its 指機場本身。
第二站:安檢處
所有格代名詞(Possessive Pronouns)
安檢的時候你會聽到這句:
"Is this bag yours?"
Yours 就是所有格代名詞。它不修飾名詞,它直接取代「your + 名詞」。
| 所有格形容詞 | 所有格代名詞 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|
| my | mine | This is mine. |
| your | yours | Is this yours? |
| his | his | That's his. |
| her | hers | The blue bag is hers. |
| our | ours | The window seat is ours. |
| their | theirs | Those bags are theirs. |
用法很簡單:
- This is my bag. → This is mine.
- Is that your laptop? → Is that yours?
- The overhead bin is our space. → The overhead bin is ours.
His 不管是所有格形容詞還是所有格代名詞,長得都一樣。這是一個例外,記住就好。
常見錯誤:
❌ This is
me's bag.(不存在這種說法)✅ This is my bag. / This is mine.
❌ The bag is
my.(my 不能單獨當代名詞)✅ The bag is mine.
第三站:候機室
反身代名詞(Reflexive Pronouns)
候機室的自助吧台你會看到:
"Please help yourself to coffee and snacks."
反身代名詞用在動作回到自己身上的時候:
| 人稱 | 反身代名詞 |
|---|---|
| I | myself |
| you | yourself / yourselves |
| he | himself |
| she | herself |
| it | itself |
| we | ourselves |
| they | themselves |
機場常見用法:
"The door opens by itself." → 門自己會開。 "Please help yourself." → 請自便。 "We ourselves saw the delay on the board." → 我們親眼看到延誤的公告。 "The passengers themselves caused the confusion." → 乘客們自己造成的混亂。
反身代名詞有兩個主要用途:
動作回到主詞身上
- I cut myself. → 我切到自己。
- She introduced herself. → 她自我介紹。
- The machine fixes itself. → 機器會自我修復。
強調語氣(親自、自己)
- I myself don't like flying. → 我自己不喜歡飛。
- The pilot himself made the announcement. → 機長親自廣播。
常見錯誤:
❌ I enjoyed at the airport
myself.(enjoy 不需要反身代名詞,除非是 enjoy myself)✅ I enjoyed myself at the airport. / I enjoyed the airport.(兩個都對,意思略不同)
❌ Please give the passport to
myself.(myself 不能取代 me)✅ Please give the passport to me.
這個錯誤超級常見。很多人覺得 myself 聽起來比較「正式」就到處用,但這是錯的。
第四站:登機廣播
指示代名詞(Demonstrative Pronouns)
廣播響了:
"This is the final boarding call for Flight 207 to Tokyo." "Those are the duty-free shops near Gate B5." "This is your boarding pass. That is your receipt."
指示代名詞分近距離和遠距離:
| 單數 | 複數 | |
|---|---|---|
| 近距離 | this 這個 | these 這些 |
| 遠距離 | that 那個 | those 那些 |
機場場景:
- This is your boarding pass.(在你手上,很近)
- That screen shows your departure time.(在牆上,有一段距離)
- These are your carry-on items.(你面前的東西)
- Those are the gates for international flights.(在遠處的登機門)
This / that 當代名詞 vs. 當形容詞:
- 代名詞:This is my passport.(this 直接取代名詞)
- 形容詞:This passport is mine.(this 修飾 passport)
兩種用法都很常見。
第五站:機上廣播
人稱代名詞的完整圖
飛機起飛後,空服員廣播:
"We apologize for the delay. We will be serving dinner shortly. If you need anything, please press the call button and we will assist you."
短短幾句話裡就有 we、you、we、you。代名詞是英文的骨架。
完整的人稱代名詞表:
| 主格(做主詞) | 受格(做受詞) | 所有格形容詞 | 所有格代名詞 | 反身代名詞 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| I | I | me | my | mine | myself |
| you | you | you | your | yours | yourself |
| he | he | him | his | his | himself |
| she | she | her | her | hers | herself |
| it | it | it | its | (its) | itself |
| we | we | us | our | ours | ourselves |
| they | them | them | their | theirs | themselves |
這一整張表在機場裡全部用得到。
實戰:機場報到角色扮演
現在把所有代名詞用在一場完整的對話裡。
場景:你在桃園機場報到
Agent: Good morning! May I see your passport and booking confirmation?
You: Here's my passport. And this is the confirmation on my phone.
Agent: Thank you. Is this luggage yours?
You: Yes, that's mine.
Agent: How many pieces are yours in total?
You: Just these two. This one is my suitcase, and that one is my backpack.
Agent: OK. Your flight departs from Gate D7. Boarding begins at 10:15. Your seat is 23A, which is a window seat.
You: Great. Is the gate far from here?
Agent: It's about a ten-minute walk. You can take the shuttle train — it runs every five minutes. It stops right at the gate.
You: Thanks. One more thing — my friend is flying with me, but her booking is separate. She hasn't checked in yet.
Agent: She can check in at the counter over there. Those counters on your left are for online check-in passengers.
You: Perfect, I'll let her know. Thanks for your help!
Agent: Have a safe flight! Enjoy yourselves!

最後的話
代名詞聽起來很小、很無聊,但它是英文裡最常被使用的字。你隨便聽一段對話,裡面至少一半的字都是代名詞。
機場是最好的練習場。每個標示、每句廣播、每次跟工作人員的對話,都在用你今天學的這些字。
下次出國的時候,別只是滑手機等登機。抬頭看、側耳聽,把那些 your、yours、this、that 一個一個挑出來。你會發現,你其實已經在學英文了,只是以前沒注意到。
