例:「你有什麼和這份工作有關的經歷?」
2. 搭配名詞:relevant + noun
(1) relevant experience (相關經驗)
The specific, past background an employer looks for.
(指與工作內容相關的過往經驗,是求職時非常常見的搭配)

「你有任何廣告經驗嗎?」

3. 搭配副詞:adverb + relevant
(1) highly relevant(高度/密切相關)
Used to emphasise that something is very closely connected to a topic or situation.
(用來強調某事與特定主題或情況有高度關聯。)

💡 除了 highly,英語母語者偶也會使用 extremely 來特別強調事件的高度關聯性。

(指與討論的主題或問題有明確且直接的關聯。)
e.g., “Only information directly relevant to the case will be considered.”
「只有與本案直接相關的資訊會被納入考量。」
💡 在實際使用上,directly relevant 常用來「排除不相關資訊」,語氣通常帶一點整理、篩選的感覺。因此它不只是「描述相關」,更常出現在「整理討論範圍」的語境中,例如:
– Let’s focus on what’s directly relevant.
– Please include only details directly relevant to the issue.
(3) Particularly relevant(尤其相關)
Used when something is especially important or applicable in a specific situation.
(用來表示某事在特定情況下特別重要或特別適用。)
