琴日同vocabno founder去左迪士尼!! 咁今日就嚟介紹下白雪公主嗰七隻小矮人啦![#EnglishEverywhere🌋 ] [#每日生字🌋 ]
- The Seven Dwarfs -
Doc 🧐 is the leader of the seven dwarfs (小矮人). He wears glasses and often mixes up his words. Though he may seem befuddled (糊塗的) due to his dithering (慌亂猶豫的) speech pattern, Doc is an intelligent and reliable headman (首領) to whom the other dwarfs look for guidance.
Grumpy 😡 has the biggest nose of the dwarfs, and is frequently seen with one eye shut. True to his name, Grumpy is grouchy (愛抱怨的), overbearing (傲慢的), and short-fused (易怒的). Often portrayed (描繪成) with a scowl (皺眉) and crossed arms, he is frequently annoyed by the other dwarfs.
Happy 🤩 gets his name from his jovial (愉快的) and optimistic (樂觀的) demeanour (舉止). Most often seen with a cheery smile, he is partial to parties, food, and dancing—all of which he is eager to share with the other dwarfs.
Sleepy 😴 gets his name from his perpetual (長期的) drowsiness (睡意). He is typically less concerned about what's going on around him, and and appears lethargic (愛睡的) in most situations.
Bashful 😳 is very shy and kind-hearted (善良的). He also has a rosy blushing (臉紅的) face and a small shy smile. The romantic (愛幻想的人) of the group, Bashful is coy (靦腆的) and self-conscious. He is prone to blushing and hiding behind his beard when feeling embarrassed.
Sneezy's 🤧 name is earned by his extraordinarily (異常地) powerful sneezes, which are seen blowing even the heaviest of objects across a room. He also speaks as if constantly suffering a stuffy (阻塞的) nose.
Dopey (遲鈍的) 😵💫 is the youngest of the seven dwarfs and the only dwarf who does not have a beard. He is accident-prone (容易出意外的) and mute (啞的), with Happy explaining that he has simply "never tried" to speak. He communicates through pantomime (啞劇的手勢).
短短幾個介紹小矮人既段落就學到咁多用嚟形容人既vocab🤩 You must be DOPEY if you don’t save this post!
小百科📦
prone呢個字係解「容易xxx的」,常見既用法就係 “prone to xxx”,就好似上面形容 Bashful 既 “He is prone to blushing” 咁。
但其實仲有另一個用法㗎,就係 “xxx-prone“ 啦。當我地話 Dopey is “accident-prone”,咁呢個term就變左做形容詞啦!

🔥 Beijing Scraps GDP Target, a Bad Sign for World Reliant on China Growth
北京未設定GDP成長目標:對於仰賴中國的世界經濟,這是個不祥之兆
-scrap 取消、作廢,同discard
-reliant 有賴於、仰賴…的,搭配介系詞為 on
🧐 China broke with more than a quarter-century of tradition by not issuing an economic growth target for 2020, a stark acknowledgment of the challenges facing the world’s second-largest economy as it grapples with uncertainties around.
中國打破持續了近30年的傳統,沒有制定2020年的經濟成長目標,這明顯承認了這個全球第二大經濟體面臨的挑戰,眼下中國仍在努力應對新冠病毒大流行引發的不確定性。
-stark 荒涼的、嚴峻的、完全的、極端的、徹底的
✍常見用法: to be in stark contrast to sth 與某事形成鮮明對比
-acknowledgement 承認
-grapple with sth 努力應對、設法解決,意近struggle with
🚨The unusual move—it’s the first time a formal target has been omitted since the practice began in 1994—suggests Beijing’s leaders aren’t eager to unleash a large-scale stimulus after China’s sharpest contraction in four decades. It foreshadows more economic pain for a world that has become increasingly reliant on China as an engine of growth.
這是中國自1994年開始設定官方經濟成長目標以來,首次沒有提出一個數值目標。這一非同尋常的舉動表明,在中國經歷了40年來最嚴重的經濟萎縮之後,中國政府領導人並不急於推出大規模刺激措施。這預示著越發依賴中國作為成長引擎的全球經濟將面臨更多痛苦。
-omit 省略、刪除
-unleash 發動、展開
-stimulus 刺激(措施、因素),同 incentive
-foreshadow 預示
🔨China reported a 6.1% gain in gross domestic product last year—its slowest pace in nearly three decades, though within the targeted range of between 6.0% and 6.5%. The implicit acknowledgment of sharply slower growth for 2020 marks a climbdown for leader Xi Jinping during a year when he was set to proclaim the end of absolute poverty in the country and double the economy’s size from a decade earlier—political goals meant to burnish his standing ahead of next year’s centennial of the Chinese Communist Party’s founding.
去年中國國內生產總值(GDP)成長6.1%,為近30年來最低水平,但位於政府設定的成長6.0%-6.5%的目標區間內。對2020年經濟增速大幅放緩的含蓄承認,對中國國家主席習近平來說是一種退讓,他原本計畫宣佈中國在2020年消除絕對貧困,經濟規模較10年前成長一倍。這些政治目標的實現有助於在明年中國共產黨成立100週年之前提升他的地位。
gross domestic product (GDP) 國內生產總值
implicit 含蓄的、暗示的
climbdown 退讓、屈服、妥協
burnish 作動詞時有「將…擦亮」之意,同polish、brighten;作名詞時為「光亮、光澤」
centennial 一百週年
未完待續...
疲弱不振的中國經濟
中國政府將如何應對?
