/ May 6, 2020 杭州小學抗疫法寶：一米帽 Students Wear One-metre Hats to Keep Distance . Summary: Social distancing is golden when Covid-19 is running wild, but only this primary school in Hangzhou would think up such an idea of making students wear hats resembling the spinning rotor of a helicopter to ensure they stay one metre away from each other – whatever floats their boat as long as it works. . Language Enhancement: Run wild (ph.)(撒野) Wild (adj.) 是「狂野的」，因此如果某人（尤其是小孩）或動物「狂野的在跑」，即是在「無王管」的情況下放肆撒野。 . Whatever floats sb.’s boat (idm.)(隨某人喜歡) 「只要你的小艇浮得起，那就沒甚麼所謂」，背後意思即是無論某人的方式或喜好是多麼的不尋常，只要對方喜歡就行了，類似廣東話的「隨你喜歡啦」。 e.g. Excuse me, Mrs. Smith, but could you please tell your kids not to run wild right outside my house? e.g. So, talking to your plant can make it happy and grow faster?  Whatever floats your boat. #kenjoy新聞英語 ————————————————— 想每日睇新聞🗞，學英文📚🔠？ 快啲 follow @k.e.n.joy 及 bookmark ————————————————— #english #news #englishinnews #newsoftheday #language #enhancement #dse #kennethlau #kenjoy #英文 #時事英文熱點 #2022dse #2020dse #2021dse #dsefighter #dseenglish #dse2020 #dsefighter #2021dsefighter #2020dsefighter #dseeng #hkdse #hkdseenglish #20200506

/ March 22, 2019 Kaws “Companion” Drifts into Hong Kong . Summary: You might be able to spot “Companion” across Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour for the next 10 days. “Companion” is a 37-metre-long grey flotation art installation partly resembling Mickey Mouse with crossed out eyes created by Kaws, a New York contemporary artist. . Language Enhancement: Flotation (n.)(漂浮) 這字讀作 flo-tay-tion，意思與 float (v.)「漂浮」相同但詞性是名詞，如果形容某物是 capable of flotation，即是它能夠浮起來。 e.g. Flotation devices are usually found underneath the seats of most aircraft. e.g. Did you know that aeroplanes are capable of flotation? Yes, the plane itself should float on water. ————————————————— 想每日睇新聞🗞，學英文📚🔠？ 快啲 follow @k.e.n.joy 及 bookmark ————————————————— #english #news #englishinnews #newsoftheday #language #enhancement #dse #kennethlau #kenjoy #英文 #時事英文熱點 #2019dse #2020dse #2021dse #dsefighter #dseenglish #dse2019 #dsefighter #2019dsefighter #2020dsefighter #dseeng #hkdse #hkdseenglish #20190322

/ November 21, 2018 Shanghai’s “Quarry” Hotel Opens . Summary: There is an ice hotel in Norway, a prison hotel in Australia, a lighthouse hotel in Scotland, and now the world’s unusual hotel list has one more entry: situated in Shanghai, the very first “quarry” hotel is open for business. Officially called InterContinental Shanghai Wonderland, the 88-metre-high architectural marvel was built in an abandoned quarry, its top two floors being the only part that can see sunlight. A night’s stay at its basic room will cost 3,888 yuan, roughly half of what the locals make in a month. . Language Enhancement: Marvel (n./v.)(奇蹟／驚嘆) 同樣見於美國漫威漫畫的 marvel，其核心意思是「奇蹟」，名詞時與 wonder (n.) 和 miracle (n.) 近義，我們日常生活中所說的例如科學、工程、自然界的奇蹟等，可用 the marvel(s) of science/engineering/nature 表達；動詞時意思是對於某人或物表達「驚嘆」，用法是 marvel + at + N. 或 marvel + that SVO。 e.g. I can’t help but marvel at how intricate this watch is. It’s a beautiful piece of jewellery. e.g. The human body is a marvel of evolution. ————————————————— 想每日睇新聞🗞，學英文📚🔠？ 快啲 follow @k.e.n.joy 及 bookmark ————————————————— #english #news #englishinnews #newsoftheday #language #enhancement #dse #kennethlau #kenjoy #英文 #時事英文熱點 #dse2018 #dse2019 #dse2020 #dsefighter #dseenglish #2018dse #2019dse #2020dse #20181121
