【乾，我講英文有夠乾】: 看完「魷魚遊戲」只講得出 It’s great. 嗎？

大家也看了魷魚遊戲了嗎？很多紐約的 #美國朋友 跟我說
・It’s way better than the Hunger Games.
・I binged the whole 9 episodes (一次追了九集).
・It’s graphically brutal. (超級血腥殘忍)
・Totes worth a watch. (Totes 是 totally 的口語寫法)

但當我問問身邊的人會怎樣用英文聊這部劇時，台灣人的對這部影集的描述常常是：

・It’s really good.
・I liked it!
・You should watch it.
・I highly recommend it.

當然，這 4 句話在語意上、用法上沒有問題。但如果你想要用得更 #道地、#到位，請繼續讀下去。

1️⃣ 傳統無啥用的 solution:

面臨這樣的問題，傳統上不少英文老師會建議你去查閱同義字字典，去 #升級自己會的形容詞。但，其實不斷用 It’s adj. 的方式
或去升級 “like” 這個動詞，調成 I enjoyed watching it. 只是繼續圍繞在相似的想法裡頭，英文還是 #沒有質的變化。�

2️⃣ 從「#思維模板」、母語人士的「#說話習慣」下手：

其實不管是魷魚遊戲、還是 The Hunger Games、還是其他相似種類 (genre) 的電影，英美國人會講述的方式「大同小異」，並 #不會因人而異。這樣的好處就是我們有個範圍可以學習這些「思維模板」。不只是一兩個字的片語、搭配詞，而是整體「表達的方向」。

例如：

✔︎ 在表達從第一集就ㄉㄧㄠˊ住時，你可以說：�
I was hooked from the first episode.
It had me hooked from the start.

✔︎ 在表達很棒時，他們不會只說 It’s great. 他們會說
It's hands down one of the best series I’ve seen on Netflix.
One of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time.

✔︎ 其他正向表述、讚揚的講法還包含：
It’s worth a watch for sure! (值得一看)
It has set a high bar for other movies of this genre. (把標準提得很高)
It has definitely lived up to the hype! （真的如大家所說般地好 ）

之所以為思維模板，就是母語人士ㄧ要描述電影觀後感時，
#幾乎都會馬上想到這些用法。我們不應該再走「中文想這樣講 — > 翻成英文」這樣的路。

記得，英文要學好不是要變成「逐字翻譯大師」。要從慣用思維、表達習慣下手。

Thank you for the feature, Yahoo News!

Wow, so much I've learned in the last 72 hours! TIMEPieces was first announced on @Farokh's channel on Discord, and I had no idea how to use the app, but today I'm hooked on it. And yes - I do have a Discord channel that I'll share soon, centred sound a character called "Little Girl"!

Thank you so much, TIME, for this incredible, eye-opening experience. It felt like the world was changing in front of our eyes when we counted down to the launch on Discord. And a huge thank you to the team who worked with me on this (Kaiyi Wong, Kashinie Subramaniam, Chee Chung Leong, Waichun Yan, Esmond Sit, Shir Yee Sun, Shen Phang Lim, HuiQi Chan, Chong Kern Wei).

假日若沒長途旅行計劃
我的習慣會將平常日來不及做的課外作業或讀物，兄妹倆各ㄧ張清單條列式寫下來，分爲必做跟建議做

Daniel 必做大致如下：

✅Katon Education 作業
✅KET模考測驗
✅Myon newsㄧ次看完5-6天的國際大事
✅中文書2本
✅複習學校週ㄧ小考內容
✅小I 半小時

建議清單（如果有空才做）：

✅Piano
✅看英文書並做AR測驗
✅Duolingo 學德/日文

Sonia必做清單如下：

✅自行閱讀最少五本英文書並做AR測驗
✅寫鉛筆刀測驗
✅練習注音
✅閱讀中文書5本（聽讀）
✅小I 半小時
✅寫一週ㄧ次的學校英文功課

建議清單如下：

✅Piano
✅Hooked on Phonics
✅SBS

兄妹倆自疫情以來已習慣學習25分鐘眼睛休息15分鐘的規律作息，若用餐時間最近是聽「說給兒童的歷史故事」音檔，邊吃邊熟悉歷史，若坐車則是英文音檔或歷史故事

我會讓他們自行安排先後順序，清單內容是有彈性的，只是給他們目標，若常沒做完就會調整，通常最後一定會搭配運動放電（最近心頭好是直排輪），週日盡量去爬山或健行，親近大自然保護眼睛，很明顯彈鋼琴也是他們紓壓的方式之一，希望能慢慢讓他們習慣面對課業壓力與如何放鬆的方式

畢竟這～就是真實人生啊！

Shanghai Memories of 1945
Written by J. Newton/Bryan Mu

I'm wondering how I came to be here
Lying alone trying hard not to shed a tear
Remember daddy said "Boys don't stay for long"
They always think that there's something wrong

I open up my eyes and I see
Little reminders of when you're here with me
I'm hooked to the telephone
Please you've got to call
I know you never promised anything at all

Shanghai memories of 1945
I don't cry, I don't cry
Shanghai memories of 1945
I don't cry, I don't cry

My last two weeks go by and I stay
All alone in my room with no one all day
I must realize you will never see
Life could be good if you only stayed with me
