”給人家算命” 的要用使役動詞的句型: have one’s fortune told (fortune [`fɔrtʃən] ) 比如: I had my fortune told last week. 我上周去算命 也可以說: I went to a fortune teller last week. fortune teller 就是 “算命師” The fortune teller told me I would have a bright future. (算命師說我的前途光明) “看手相”的說法則是 have one’s palm read (此時 read 是 p.p., 唸[rɛd], palm [pɑm]是手掌)”我去看了手相” I had my palm read. ”他幫我看手相” He read my palm. 看面相則是把 palm 改成 face 即可 ”紫微斗數命盤” 在英文裡則是叫 the Chinese astrology chart (astrology [ə`strɑlədʒɪ] ”星象學” 之意) 用紫微斗數算命則要用 analyze [`ænl̩ˏaɪz] “分析” 這個動詞) 比如: The fortune teller analyzed my Chinese astrology chart. (算命師分析了我的紫微命盤) 或 I had my Chinese astrology chart analyzed. (我去算了紫微斗數) According to my Chinese astrology chart, I will have a comfortable old age. (根據我的紫微命盤, 我會有舒適的晚年)
