「我們一起去購物吧！」「我通常每週六和家人去健行。」這種話很常出現在生活中。「去從事休閒活動」的英文要怎麼表達呢？用 go＋V-ing 的結構就可以喔！

類似的用法有do + the + V-ing，意思是「做某件事」，單純指做某事並不帶有休閒之意。 一起來學吧！

go V-ing：從事休閒活動

• go shopping：去購物
• go jogging：去慢跑
• go swimming：去游泳
• go fising：去釣魚
• go hiking：去健行
• go camping：去露營
• go mountain climbing：去爬山
• go bungee jumping：去高空彈跳
• go picnicking：去野餐
• go cycling：去騎腳踏車

Chloe and Daisy usually go cycling on Saturday.

(Chloe和Daisy通常在星期六騎自行車。 )

My grandfather went fishing yesterday.

(我爺爺昨天去釣魚了。)

Recently, it has been a trend for many people to go camping to release their stress.

(最近，很多人都喜歡去露營釋放壓力。)

do the V-ing：做某事情

這個用法的動詞固定用do，先加the再加動名詞，單純表示「做某事情」，不含有休閒活動的意思。

• do the shopping：(為了需要) 購物
• do the washing：洗東西
• do the cleaning：打掃

I can’t join you today, because I have to do the shopping for my sister.

(我今天不能加入你們，因為我要幫我妹妹買東西。)

Who will do the washing?

(誰要做清洗的工作？)

My family did the cleaning before New Year.

(我的家人在新年前做了清潔工作。)

✏️牛刀小試

正解：

1. Eric plans to go picnicking this weekend.

2. The students will go hiking if the weather is nice.

3. I have to do the shopping, so I will call Megan back later.
