× Yeah, usually, umm, where it's during my commute time since I live in Shenzhen and I studied in Hong Kong.
✓ Yeah, usually during my commute since I live in Shenzhen and I study in Hong Kong.
原句中时态不一致:使用了现在时“live”与过去时“studied”,但句意应表示现在仍在香港学习或曾在香港学习影响现在的通勤。根据上下文应保持现在时或明确过去时间。建议把“studied”改为现在时“study”,或明确表达“我曾在香港学习”(I studied in Hong Kong)。同时去掉多余的“where it's”。
× So umm, there's always like 4 hours a week's commute time.
✓ So umm, there's always about 4 hours of commute time a week.
原句中“a week's commute time”词序和冠词使用不自然,应该说“4 hours of commute time a week”或“a week's commute is about 4 hours”。注意量词和所属结构的正确排列。
× I usually use this time to listen to podcasts to unwind and maybe learn some new.
✓ I usually use this time to listen to podcasts to unwind and maybe learn something new.
原句末尾缺少宾语,片语“learn some new”不完整,应为“learn something new”或“learn new things”。建议补全宾语以构成完整句子。
× I prefer noise cancelling headphones to others since I think I can wear it during like a workout or doing commute commuting times since it can block out distractions and I can sink into the music or the thing I'm focusing on.
✓ I prefer noise-cancelling headphones to others since I think I can wear them during a workout or when commuting because they can block out distractions and help me sink into the music or whatever I'm focusing on.
原句中介词和短语使用混乱:应使用复数代词“them”与“headphones”一致;“during a workout or when commuting”比“doing commute”或“commuting times”更自然;连接词应为“because”;“the thing I'm focusing on”更自然为“whatever I'm focusing on”。同时“noise-cancelling”作形容词需连字符。
× I usually use headphones during commute times since I'm such a student umm across from Shenzhen to Hong Kong.
✓ I usually use headphones during commute times since I'm a student who commutes from Shenzhen to Hong Kong.
原句结构不正确,使用“such a student across from Shenzhen to Hong Kong”不合逻辑。应使用定语从句“a student who commutes from Shenzhen to Hong Kong”或“a student commuting from Shenzhen to Hong Kong”。保持现在时一致。
× So every weeks I have total like about umm 4 hours commuting time.
✓ So every week I have a total of about 4 hours of commuting time.
“every weeks”错误,应该是单数“every week”。另外需使用“a total of”以及“4 hours of commuting time”。
× It's just it's quite long so I use headphones to listen to like podcasts or music to unwind.
✓ It's just quite long, so I use headphones to listen to podcasts or music to unwind.
原句“listen to like podcasts”中“like”口语化且不必要,去掉更正式自然;句子中多余的“it's”重复,应删去一个。
× I'm really a headphone person, so I'll only take off them when I'm talking with somebody else or I'm crossing the street, umm, when I'm talking with somebody.
✓ I'm really a headphone person, so I'll only take them off when I'm talking with somebody else or when I'm crossing the street.
代词位置错误,应为“take them off”而不是“take off them”。句中有重复表达“when I'm talking with somebody”,应合并并保持一致。
× So I need to show my respect and like concentrate on what they are talking about and when I'm crushing straight, I need to aware about what's happening in the surrounding.
✓ So I need to show my respect and concentrate on what they are saying, and when I'm crossing the street, I need to be aware of what's happening in the surroundings.
原句有多处介词和词形错误:“talking about”更自然为“what they are saying”;“crushing straight”错误,应为“crossing the street”;“need to aware about”应为“need to be aware of”;“surrounding”作为名词应为“surroundings”。
× Umm, I'll say no for like all that had headphones I wear before it will umm, gives a sense of pain or like ear ache.
✓ Umm, I'd say no — all the headphones I've worn before have caused a sense of pain or earache if you wear them for a long time.
原句时态和语法混乱:应使用现在完成时“I've worn”表示过去经验;主语复数“headphones”对应动词“have caused”;“gives”要改为“have caused”;“ear ache”写作“earache”。同时“if you wear them for a long time”放在句末更连贯。
× Umm, if you if you wear it for a long time. So I just I.
✓ Umm, if you wear them for a long time, they can be uncomfortable, so I don't usually keep them on for too long.
原句不完整,重复且无主句。需要把条件状语从句补上主句并用复数代词与“headphones”一致,表达清楚后果并完成句子。
