    示範例句 · Example

    My grandad was a heavy smoker, but he gave it up when the doctor asked him to.

    逐字我的爺爺曾經是一個重度吸菸者,但是當醫生要求他的時候他戒掉了。

    smoker 指的是「人」——會抽菸的那個人,抽的可以是香菸、雪茄或菸斗,而且通常是有習慣、常常抽的人,不是只試過一次的人。這個字可以想成 smoke(抽菸)加上 -er(做這件事的人),就像 teach 變成 teacher、run 變成 runner。要講「抽菸」這件事本身,英文用 smoking,不用 smoker;完全不抽的人則是 non-smoker。

core核心畫面

smoke + -er, but the -er here means a habit, not a moment: someone for whom smoking is a standing part of life, not something they did once.

smoke(抽菸)這個動作 + -er(做這件事的人),但重點在於:中文說「抽菸的人」時可能只是描述當下,英文的 smoker 卻幾乎都指向一種身分。想像有人問「Are you a smoker?」——他問的不是你此刻手上有沒有菸,而是這件事在你的生活裡是不是一個固定的位置:口袋裡常備一包、飯後會走出去、班機上會不舒服。一種想法是,-er 在這裡把一個動作壓縮成一個長期的標籤。
