喜樂美語

One way to hold this word: office is the easy half, and home is the half that moves. Home means the base you belong to — and which base depends on who is speaking. For a person, it is the house they live in. For a branch manager, it is the company's own headquarters. For a government, it is the country's own inside. Put office next to each of those and you get the three uses, all of them saying the same thing: the office at the base.

可以想成：office 這一半很固定，會動的是 home。home 指的是「你所屬的那個據點」，而是誰在說話，決定了據點在哪裡。對一個人來說，據點是他住的家。對一位分店經理來說，據點是公司的總部。對一個政府來說，據點是這個國家自己的內部。把 office 接到這三個據點後面，就得到這個詞的三種用法，而它們講的其實是同一件事：本部那間辦公室。看懂這一點，三個意思就不必分開硬記；真正要留意的是大小寫和有沒有 the，那才是分辨它們的線索。
