University Sells Bullied Boy’s Homemade Tee
.
Summary:
What was ugly wasn’t the homemade T-shirt of the fourth-grade boy, who made his best effort to show his genuine admiration for the University of Tennessee on his school’s “college colours day”, but the hearts of those girls who didn’t participate but teased him about his design. Little did the distressed child know that his feelings, all thanks to his caring teacher, reached the institution, which not only sent him and his class a whole package of UT gifts, but even made his tee their official merch.
.
Language Enhancement:
Little did sb. know (ph.)(某人當時並不知道的是…)
這固定用語只會以過去式和倒裝句構使用,該 little 並非形容詞的「細小的」而是副詞的「很少」,全句意思是某人當時意想不到某事情會發生,或是原來事實是怎樣。視乎句意,know 改為 think「覺得」或 realise「省悟到」等也可以。
e.g. I waved goodbye to my family on the ship, dreaming about my new life across the ocean. Little did I know that it was the last time I saw them.
e.g. The soldiers advanced as the enemies fell back, but little did they realise they were walking into a trap.

sent過去式 在 英語島雜誌 English Island Facebook 的最佳解答
#這句英文怎麼說
我兩分鐘前才寄電子郵件給蒂娜,所以她還沒回應
I just sent an e-mail to Tina two minutes ago, so she hasn't answered yet.
【解釋】「寄信」是指兩分鐘前的動作,所以用過去式無誤,但「沒回應」是指信寄出到現在的這段時間,應該為現在完成式。

Dear 英語島的編輯群們
很開心在大概兩個月前接觸了貴雜誌,深深的喜歡上裏頭廣泛的內容與各國的最新資訊,同時也知道熱血的編輯群們很樂意為大家解答各種英文相關問題,先謝謝您們了 :)))
目前我的問題有兩個如下 :
1. who 與 whom 怎麼分辨使用時機 ?
2. 用pp時我知道是想表達現在完成式或過去完成式,但還是有點混亂,看文章時還ok,但自己想寫句子就困惑了
例如:今天早上已把包裹經由 EMS寄出
1. I've sent out the parcel via EMS this morning. ( sent 是 pp)
2. The parcel has been sent out via EMS this morning. (有需要用had嗎?)
3. 還是簡單一點直接用 I sent out the parcel via EMS this morning?
不好意思,問題有點多~

嗨,這兩個問題確實是許多學英文的人常常會搞混的,其實要分清楚使用的時機非常容易
1. 關於Who 與 Whom的使用時機
▲正式用法裡Who通常代替主詞,而Whom代替受詞和接在介係詞後面
Who made this appointment?(Who當主詞)
Whom do you think we should support?(Whom當動詞support的受詞)
To whom do you wish to speak?(Whom跟在介係詞to的後面)
▲作關係代名詞時,較不正式的用法中who和whom可以通用
(O) The man whom you met yesterday is coming to dinner.
(O) The man who you met yesterday is coming to dinner.
▲快速分辨的小技巧是把句子變回直述句,把who, whom改為he或him,就能立即看出要用哪個了!
They know ____ you are and ____ you represent.
You are he (O) / him (X). ➡️ 用who
You represent he (X) / him (O). ➡️ 用whom
2. 用過去式還是完成式?
▲過去式表示過去的某個特定時間發生的事,現在完成式的發生時間也是過去的事,但時間是沒有特定某個時間點,而且還持續一段時間的狀態、或是經驗。
比方説,「我曾經看過史瑞克電影」,要用現在完成式,因為這句話没有指明任何特定的時間,而是表示一種經驗。然而,如果說「我昨天晚上去看史瑞克電影」,就一定用過去式。
就你的例句:今天早上已把包裹經由 EMS寄出,因為有特定的時間「今天早上」,所以用過去式 I sent out the parcel via EMS this morning 比較適合
