[易混淆單字群] SELFIE /SELFISH 自私自拍傻傻分不清楚

圖片
 我們總是在犯錯中, 學習更多新事物, 而且有時候也令你永生難忘 早上看到 Katy Perry 演唱會 花絮影片 ,  這一位爆紅的台灣女觀眾,  因為教Katy 中文令大家稱羨之時, 因為Katy不期然問他,  How do you say SELFIE in Chinese? 女粉絲想了一下, 冒出了 "自私" 這個詞.... 總之, 就是令老師們有點愣住了.(汗) 不過我想, 這位粉絲,  一輩子, 都不會忘記 [自拍] 英文叫做 selfie (selfy)  self portrait  (釋義: A picture taken of yourself that is planned to be uploaded to Facebook, Myspace or any other sort of social networking website.)                                                 * upload   上傳  / download  下載                                                 * social networking 社交網絡 (例如fb, ig, twitter..etc.) 老實說, 他的反應還算良好, 想到了音很接近的 " Selfish " (自私的) 然後我就想了, 其實很多台灣學生國高中學英文, 老師因為面對太多同學, 說真的沒有辦法一個一個去糾正或注意你的發音, 然而同學最常犯的發音毛病, 其中就是 "尾音" 的省略最明顯 明明應該有尾音的單字, 但是就是常常發生同學尾音會自己fade out! 所以以後念單字, 發音還是要精確一點喔! 當然了, 圓桌英語家教, 因為是小班制, 老師每一個都可以兼顧的到! No worries! 最後, 國中會考將至, 這個時事爆紅的字 "selfie" 會不會因此列入考題呢?  HEY! 我們等著瞧!

圖片
最簡單的招呼, 有時也很令人頭疼呢! How are you today? How's everything going? How do you do? 被問到這些你今天過得如何/最近怎麼樣的招呼 有時難免會想: 我除了I'm fine. 還能說什麼? 說真的有時後, 你說了i'm under the weather, 也不確定別人是不是想聽你吐苦水,所以最常不變的答案是: 一如往常 就這樣囉 跟平常一樣 普通普通 今天來個新說法, 不要再說I'm fine 或者 so so了 A: How's everything been going? B: SAME OLD, SAME OLD. same old story, 一樣的老故事 就是一如往常之意!

Sunday morning should always comes with a terrific brunch set!!! Who doesn't like brunch!!? 誰不愛早午餐呢! heart emoticon   BRUNCH ON FLEEK!   heart emoticon 早午餐感覺就是優閒生活的代表 A cup of cappuccino, a sun side up egg, some fried sausages or smoked salmon with rocket.....(天啊!為什麼週末還沒到? ) 注意到沒有!!! brunch on fleek! fleek這個字算是近代英語字彙, 首次出現也是2003年囉! 字典上釋義為awesome 的意思, 後來又因為某個黑人部落客Peaches Monroee上傳了短片讓大家看看她的"有型"眉毛,她說了eyeborws on fleek! 然後, 它變成一種"潮語" lol, anyways, 變成琅琅上口的表達很cool的意思, 什麼都可以on fleek 一下! 話說這週末,準備好要吃什麼早午餐了嗎? 我有好長的口袋名單!  ------------------------------------------------------------- lie/lay的練習題解答: baaab

[動詞片語] LOOK UP / BLOW UP / BREAK UP

圖片
動詞片語在平常外國人的生活對話中, 其實很常用。 原因不外乎是,很簡單的動詞和介系詞的組合,組合很多元,意思很多種,口語上也很好表達。 但對台灣學生來說,基本上是頭痛的部分之一。 國中一到三年級就有這個部分的學習,也有這樣的考題,常常被選項混淆的學生,會因此覺得動詞片語是不是要買一本從頭背到尾? Eva個人的建議是,真的不用這樣窮忙。 因為,當你背完了第10頁,你可能忘了第5頁了。 多看文章,就會遇到各種動詞片語,連著例句一起吸收,更事半功倍唷! 以下有幾個句子: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. The building blew up because of a gas leak.   (merriam-webster) 2. She blew up at everybody after a very long and bad day.   (merriam-webster) 3. Their partnership  broke up .   (merriam-webster) 4. The meeting broke up when all the business for the day had been completed. (merriam-webster) 5. The business is looking up .   (merriam-webster) 6. Help me look up the address of the bookshop. 7. Look up ! Thing are not so bad.  (merriam-webster) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ✔ blow up 在上述兩個句子中, 能不能大概推的出意思呢?     這裡列舉兩個常用意思: (1) 毀壞 destory  (2) 發脾氣 be very angry (反意: calm down ) ✔ brea
