The Executive Mistake to Avoid:
“That much”
“I wish you didn’t drink that much”
How much is that?
When you use that much, the listener needs to have a measurement.
Without it, there is confusion.
This is best used if previously “how much” has been stated.
“You drink 4 cups of coffee a day. I wish you didn’t drink that much”
感謝IMM 提到這個常見錯誤 "that much" :
再一次驗證英文語法和中文的大差異，
文中的例子＂I wish you didn’t drink that much." -->"我希望你沒有喝那麼多"
在中文裡真的很常講，用中文的邏輯來思考也全然感覺不出來這句英文有問題，如果對方
是一個English native speaker 可能就會有點霧煞煞？
然而，英文的運用上，當我們要講"that much"時，
前文一定要提到一個可以讓彼此衡量的基準，所以正確例子如下：
“You drink 4 cups of coffee a day. I wish you didn’t drink that much”
