Lady Gets Foot Massage on MTR
.
Summary:
As ridiculous as it might sound, a man was filmed sitting on the floor of an MTR compartment and giving a lady, dressed in a traditional Chinese gown, a foot massage during the train ride. The incident was such that many citizens found it completely absurd.
.
Language Enhancement:
Absurd (adj.)(荒謬的)
Absurdity (n.)(荒謬)
此字屬 stupid (adj.) 的眾多近義字之一,但程度上更為強烈,與 ridiculous (adj.) 和 preposterous (adj.) 意思相近。Absurd 所指的荒謬主要形容一個想法或情況,但形容一個人看上去很滑稽荒謬也可以。
e.g. Can you imagine the absurdity of the situation? The cashier gave me the wrong change and she thought that was my fault!
e.g. James arrived at the meeting late and inappropriately dressed. Yet, he dared to criticise others for their workplace conduct. It’s quite absurd!

absurdity意思 在 櫃子小姐愛旅行 Facebook 的最讚貼文
今天我們談談🇮🇪愛爾蘭這個國家名,在英文裡可以怎麼用。
🇬🇧英國人對🇮🇪愛爾蘭人的偏見造成了一些愛爾蘭在英文使用上比較負面的意思,英國人覺得愛爾蘭人不可靠,所以有了以下的英文。
「Irish promotion」(愛爾蘭式升遷)意指降職,其實就是Demotion的意思。
「Irish hint」愛爾蘭式暗示,指太過明顯稱不上是暗示的暗示。
「Irish bull」自相矛盾;自相矛盾的說法
那麼我們一樣來造幾個句子大家一起唸一下喔!
✅Mr. Hunt was given an Irishman's promotion last year.
✅Irish hint means a straightforward statement.
✅A statement containing an incongruity or a logical absurdity.
