we've is the short form of 'we have'. Careful here, because 'have' does two jobs in English and we've is comfortable with only one of them.

we've is是 of 'we have'「we have」 the short form的縮寫。 Careful here這裡要小心，because因為 'have' in English在英語裡 does two jobs做兩種工作，and而 we've with only one of them只跟其中一種 is comfortable合得來。

It is completely normal as the helper verb in the present perfect: 'We've finished.' 'We've been to Japan twice.' 'We've got a problem.' But when 'have' means to own or possess, on its own, the short form sounds wrong to most speakers — you say 'We have two cars', not 'We've two cars'. (You may see that older, mostly British, in a novel; do not copy it.) The 'we've got' pattern gets around this and is very common in speech.

as the helper verb當助動詞、in the present perfect用在現在完成式時，It它 is completely normal完全正常：'We've finished.'我們做完了。 'We've been to Japan twice.'我們去過日本兩次。 'We've got a problem.'我們有個麻煩。 But但 when 'have' means當 'have' 的意思是 to own or possess擁有、on its own自己單獨用時，the short form這個縮寫 to most speakers在多數人耳裡 sounds wrong聽起來是錯的——you say你要說 'We have two cars'，not而不是 'We've two cars'。 （in a novel在小說裡 You may see that你可能會看到那種用法——older比較老、mostly British多半是英式的；do not copy it別學它。） The 'we've got' pattern'we've got' 這個句型 gets around this繞過了這個問題，and is very common in speech在口語裡非常常見。

Like the other contractions, it is the default in talking and in casual writing, while 'we have' fits formal writing. Say it as one syllable, /wiːv/ — it sounds the same as 'weave'.

Like the other contractions和其他縮寫一樣，in talking講話 and in casual writing和隨意書寫時 it它 is the default是預設選擇，while而 'we have' fits適合 formal writing正式書面。 Say it把它唸成 as one syllable一個音節，/wiːv/——it sounds the same as唸起來就等於 'weave'。
