“做个Excel”说成 make an Excel 是错的！为什么？
你不会把"做个Excel"说成make an Excel吧？！
NO.1
做个Excel make an Excel
Excel只是软件的名字
而我们说的"做个Excel"是
做个"Excel表格"
excel spreadsheet
spreadsheet/ˈspred.ʃiːt/
电子表格
所以
"做个excel表格"应该说
make an excel spreadsheet
或
make a spreadsheet in excel
例句
Could you help me make an excel spreadsheet, please? Many thanks!
能帮我做个excel表吗？万分感谢啊！
NO.2
"帮我PS一下"怎么说？
如果说成
Help me PS the picture.
估计歪果仁会一脸懵
因为
PS只是软件名字,不是动词"修图"
正确的说法是
help me edit this picture
edit：编辑,修图
桌面上右击一张照片,你会看到edit
例句
Do you always edit your pictures? Your eyes look too big.
你是不是经常P图？你的眼睛看起来也太大了。
大到不自然~
NO.3
"做PPT"怎么说？
最简单的说法
make a PPT
P- power
P-point
T-presentation
可以直接读P-P-T
例句
Being able to make a PPT is a basic skill for office work.
会做PPT是办公室一项基本技能
也可以说
make a slide show
slide：幻灯片
例句
If it's difficult to explain it with words, try to make a slide show.
如果说不明白，试着做个幻灯片。
