”Do you like me?” No answer. Silence bounced, fell off his tongue and sat between us and clogged my throat. It slaughtered my trust. It tore cigarettes out of my mouth. We exchanged blind words, and I did not cry, I did not beg, but blackness filled my ears, blackness lunged in my heart, and something that had been good, a sort of kindly oxygen, turned into a gas oven. #annesexton

今天要介紹的單字是ferocious~ 它的意思是「兇猛的」、「激烈的」，例如 a ferocious animal 就是「一隻兇猛的動物」 🐯 或是當我們想表達某人的脾氣非常惡劣，也可以說”That person has a ferocious temper.”。本周新聞英文當中使用ferocious來形容風暴 — The storms are getting more ferocious，表示風暴變得愈來愈兇猛劇烈。 Ferocious也有「激烈的」意思，例如 a ferocious competition 指的就是激烈的競爭，或者the battle is very ferocious代表這場戰鬥非常激烈⚔️ 以下我們來看例句搭配字卡，趕快儲存起來喔！ ferocious /fəˈroʊ.ʃəs/ E.g.

Me... the entire season 8 of #GoT 😑 #underwhelmed I’m not one to set expectations (lower expectations = less disappointments right) and avoided theories and predictions in order to properly enjoy what I thought was my fav TV show of all time... only to be severely underwhelmed. . As someone who loves writing and telling stories and aspires to be a show runner someday, these are some details I would’ve changed that I think can make the show more exciting AND make more sense based on what I know and studied of each character’s story and arc: #spoilers . 1. How exactly did Arya Stark get to the Night King without having to face his army of white walkers and wights? We know she’s stealth and all but she’s not a teleporter as we witnessed in the library scene of her avoiding the wights like a normal person with Hobbit stealth abilities at most. SO, I would’ve wanted to see her ride Ghost or Nymeria (would’ve been nice to have a reunion perhaps?) and lunged herself toward the Night King as Ghost/Nymeria sacrifices themselves to pave the way clear for Arya to finish the deed (and dead) 2. When Tyrion released Jaime, Arya being the kickass assassin she is, should’ve intercepted Jaime, killed that incest mofo whose character arc is disappointing AF (worked so dang hard to be a decent person only to go back to being the sister f***** that he is), wore his face and go on to kill Cersei Lannister. Arya can cross her name off her list and be like *surprise brother f*****!!!* and *sword drop* as she peels Jaime’s face off after Cersei dies and Cersei would’ve been so tormented before she died thinking her brother killed her— also to fulfill prophecy. Two birds with one friggin’ stone . 3) I’m not hating that Jon had to kill his aunty/lover because sometimes “Duty is the death of Love” and he’s meant to be Ned Stark 2.0 but with a slightly less dead ending, but if I were the show runner, I’d stretch out the season to the standard full 10 episodes and established the love between Jon & Daenerys better as well as gave more time and context for viewers to empathize/understand when Khaleesi decided she’d rather “rule over ashes” Had more notes but caption space ran ou
