當你查proper的中文意思的時候,你可以得到「適合的,適當的,恰當的;合乎體統的」,因此你心裡面大概會暗想,「可惡!有查跟沒查一樣!」我還是先解答好了,以免多數人沒有時間看完。

其實appropriate比較偏「適合的」的意思,而proper則偏向「正當的」的意思!適合的意思是合適某場合或是情境,所謂正當當然就要符合一些公理正義啦!所以凡事是appropriate的東西不見得proper,有些時候某些人講某些笑話或許在當下是appropriate,可就不見得是proper啦!反之亦然,你所有答案都義正詞嚴地說,當然可以很proper,可是不一定會是appropriate!!!另外他們倆前後接的字也不太一樣,重覆率不高!如果有重覆,你就可以看出意思不同,如果是“anappropriatewaytoassesspopulationsizes”,那指的是「一個測量人口的合適的、正確的方法」,意思是說這個方法要能精確地測量出結果;如果是”aproperwaytoassesspopulationsizes”,那指的是「一個測量人口的正當的的方法」,意思是說這個方法不可以危害人權,或是隱私等等之類的!這大概是許多人都有的經驗,如果要藉由查詢中文意思來了解兩個相似字的不同,多半都會有這樣的結果。

結果就是「合適的」跟「適合的」的不同!要看出它們的不同,往往要多看一下它們在文章當中怎麼用!英文對我而言也是一個外語,我也是一個學外語者,雖然我已經有到國外求學,教學,工作的經驗,但是我也是由基礎學起,而這樣字義混淆的情形對我而言很少發生,為什麼呢?因為我除了參考中文字義之外,我也會以英文來判斷英文。

「這當然囉!」你可能會說!「你一天讀超過兩千字的英文的話,肯定也有足夠的閱讀量去判斷字義的差別!」所以如果閱讀的量不夠,又要怎樣去快速整理一個字的出現在那幾種情形之下,好讓你判斷它的意思呢?這又是一個高手們不會告訴你的秘密了!你可以利用「語料庫(Corpus)」來查詢!現在你在Google查詢Corpus這個字,你大概就可以得到一堆的語料庫,它們收集了不少語言的使用紀錄,你可以用查詢的方法來找任何一個字的使用情形!我舉兩個最常用的免費語料庫當例子好了! http://corpus.byu.edu/coca/ 這個是BrighamYoungUniversity 做的THECORPUSOFCONTEMPORARY AMERICANENGLISH(COCA)。

它收集了當代語料的使用,不管是口語訪談的稿(Spoken),小說裡 (Fiction)、雜誌(Magazine)、報紙(Newspaper)、還是學術(Academic)裡使用的字它都有。

(圖一:appropriate) (圖二:proper)   http://www.natcorp.ox.ac.uk/ 這是BritishNationalCorpus,顧名思義當然就是查詢英式的用法,口語跟文章的語料都很齊全,如果你是要申請英國的工作或是學校,總之有需要填寫文件或是書寫論文,都可以來這邊查詢。
