Just let go of your ax (ex) ._. ------------------------------ lumberjack 伐木工 也就是 lumber (伐木；木材) + jack (人) 意思一樣的字還有 lumberman 和 logger log 也有木頭的意思 以前有發過一個字叫 logjam 可以去複習一下 ._. - lumber 當動詞除了伐木外 也有緩慢笨重移動的意思 例如, the giant lumbered across the land 當名詞除了木材外 也指沒用的雜物 ._. - jack 也有很多意思 像是...我 ._. 在中世紀時 Jack 泛指”一般人” 也常被用來稱呼地位較低的年輕男性 像是僕人或打雜的 後來由於很多工具的出現 取代了這些 “jack” 原本的工作 所以很多工具的名字就包含了 jack 像是 car jack, jackscrew 等等 - 再補充一個 jack of all trades 就是指一個人什麼都會 但也有什麼都不精通的貶義 ._. 所以整句會變成 jack of all trades, master of none 好像在說我自己 ._. 學了很多東西但都不專精 lol - 跟 jack 相關的字還有好多好多 歡迎大家補充 ._. ------------------------------ 已經連續四天發文了耶 是不是該休刊一下了呢 ._. ------------------------------ #jkenglishjk #lumberjack #lumber #jack #jkpun

Great Photo by @run852 , which tells you what is happening in Hong Kong right now! You can always see elderly pulling trolley with tons of cardboard on it when you are in Hong Kong. However, this might not be seen on these few days. Instead, you will find tons of waster paper pile up on the street. --------------------------------------------- Elderly with low income earn a living by collecting cans and cardboard, which will later be sold to Mainland through trader. By collecting these cardboards every day and night, they can earn up to HK$6000 a month. --------------------------------------------- Earlier in July 2017, China tightened requirements on waste imports and trader in HK had decided to stop collecting waste paper from elderly this week. It leads to a logjam of scrap in Hong Kong and the income of many elderly drop significantly. We hope this problem can be solved soon. --------------------------------------------- Tell us great places that we should explore by uploading and tagging us in the photo. Photo will be chosen on every Sunday. @explore_hongkong with us!
