🎓 學習英文English version
approach 是甚麼意思?
an approach to sth / approach sth
/əˈprəʊtʃ/
= 處理某事的方法;著手處理、接近
名詞和動詞的介詞剛好相反:名詞要加 to(an approach to the problem),動詞不加 to(approach the problem)。這是香港學生最常犯的錯。
簡單解釋
approach 原本是「走近」:你一步步走向一樣東西。
引申開去,你「走近一個問題」的方式,就是你的 approach,即處理方法、角度。所以 a new approach to teaching 是「一種新的教學方法」。
記住:名詞 + to(my approach to revision),動詞直接接受詞(approach the question carefully)。

動詞 approach 直接接受詞,不加 to。

approach sb 本身正確,但 tell 後面要有人作受詞:tell me that…。

改寫示範 ✨
研究報告的研究方法部分:用 Dictionify 的 Polish 把整段改得自然又專業,刪去的字劃走,新加的字標示出來。
In this project, we use the approach of interview to approach to the problem of elderly loneliness. We think this approach can let us know their feeling more deep.
In this project, we use the approach of interview to take a qualitative approach to the problem of elderly loneliness. loneliness among older people. We think interviewed ten elderly residents in Sham Shui Po, as this approach can let allowed us know to understand their feeling feelings in more deep. depth.
- the approach of interview to approach to the problem → a qualitative approach to the problem:名詞 approach 配 to;同一句不要重複 approach 兩次。
- We think this approach can let us know → this approach allowed us to understand:let us know 太口語,allow sb to do 更適合報告。
- more deep → in more depth:deep 是形容詞,這裡要用 in depth(深入地);同時補上訪談人數和地點,方法部分會更具體。
近義和相反說法
| 說法 | 意思 | 分別 |
|---|---|---|
| method | 方法 | 較具體,指實際步驟(訪談、實驗);approach 較宏觀,指整體思路和角度。 |
| strategy | 策略 | 強調為了達到目標而計劃的一套做法,例如 revision strategy。 |
| perspective | 角度、觀點 | 是「從哪個角度看」,approach 是「用甚麼方式處理」,兩者常一起用。 |
| tackle | 處理、應付(難題) | 動詞,語氣比 approach 更主動,帶「動手解決」的意思。 |
相反:avoid (迴避、避開(問題或某人))、move away from (離開、遠離)
小測驗
選一個答案,立即看結果。
哪一句是正確的?
答案:A。動詞 approach 直接接受詞,不加 to 或 of。
"Project-based learning is a hands-on approach ______ teaching science." 空格應填……
答案:C。名詞 approach 的固定配搭是 an approach to sth。
"The deadline is approaching." 意思是……
答案:B。approach 可以解作時間上接近、臨近。
常見問題
為甚麼名詞 approach 加 to,動詞卻不加?
名詞 an approach to sth 是「通往某事的路」,所以用 to;動詞 approach 本身已有「走向」的意思,再加 to 就重複了。可以記一對例句:my approach to the problem / I approached the problem。
approach 和 method 有甚麼分別?
approach 是整體思路,例如 a qualitative approach(質性研究取向);method 是具體做法,例如 interviews、questionnaires。報告中常寫 "We adopted a qualitative approach, using semi-structured interviews as our main method."
想寫電郵問教授問題,可以說 "I would like to approach you" 嗎?
語法上可以,但有點奇怪。電郵中直接說 "I am writing to ask about…" 或 "Could I ask you about…?" 更自然。approach sb 多用於描述別人的行動,例如 "I approached my professor after the lecture."
approachable 可以形容老師嗎?
可以,而且是常見的讚美,意思是老師友善、容易接觸,學生不怕找他提問,例如 "Our tutor is friendly and approachable."
