內容簡介
在漢語裡，我們既可以說 “我約瞭醫生”，也可以講 “我約瞭朋友”。但是英語裡可不能把兩者混為一談，而是應該根據場合是否正式來判斷所使用的表達。看 “一分鐘英語” 視頻，學習在描述 “約人” 這一情景時可使用的表達。

Hi guys, this is Kee from AYYBLOG Learning English, and today I’m going to tell you about some informal ways of using English.
Now, in English when we have scheduled formal meetings, we can say ‘we have an appointment‘. So for example, I can say ‘I have an appointment with my doctor’ or ‘I have an appointment with my lawyer,’ But you never ever say ‘I have an appointment with my friends’ – that’s too formal.
Now to talk about ‘appointments’ with friends, we simply say ‘I’m meeting my friends this weekend.’
So it’s ‘meet someone‘ – not ‘have an appointment’ – remember ‘meet someone‘.
用法總結

2. We we have informal meetings, we say ‘meet someone‘.
