“Je suis allé en Taiwan.”

Language: English | 中文

During the french class this afternoon, our professor, François, asked us what we had done the last big big vacation.

"Je suis allé en Taiwan," I began. Then, as what I expected, he said helpfully, "À Taiwan."

I didn't repeat it. I kept moving on. In my opinion, à Taiwan is not correct.

• Using en implies Taiwan is a country, and à implies that it is a city, district, etc.

今天上法文課的時候，老師 François 問我們，上一個長假期，做了些什麼。

我回答說：Je suis allé en Taiwan. (我去了台灣；使用 en 意味著台灣是一個……咳咳)

然後，毫不意外，François 更正我說：À Taiwan. (à 用在地區、城市的前面)

我並沒有跟著說 à Taiwan。我繼續我的故事。畢竟，你知道的，對我來說，用 en 才是正確的，嘿嘿。
