上圖這算是 多人運動 嗎? 看起來好像只有恐龍在動。 這應該是沒有違背社會善良風俗的多人運動 但這個不是今天教練要教的東西 每次有什麼勁爆的新聞,就會有人來問我相關的英文夯字(句)。從好多年前那句「 賤人就是矯情 」、「 人魚線 」、「 壁咚 」 (這些字詞部落格都搜尋得到) 到最近的「 多人運動 」。今天教練配合時事,教大家一些可能很想知道但又不好意思開口問的英文字句。 首先看到上面那張截圖,韋式字典裏面對於 多人運動 ,有清楚的解釋(紅框處)。大家要曉得, Orgy 這個字,除了文法上,複數要去y變成ies,此字原來的意思,其實是 古希臘羅馬的秘密祭神儀式 (不要問我那些古人在儀式裡面除了吟唱歌曲跟興奮地狂舞,還會做些什麼事情。) 但現在的英文, Orgy - a sexual encounter involving many people 是最可能的情形。所以這陣子,如果有人問我「 多人運動 」,我就跟他們說,那個字是 Orgy/orgies, 不用加group,因為orgy本來就不是單人或雙人運動。另外也請大家查字典學習正確發音。 點我聽Orgy的正確發音 接著教練順便再教大家一些可能 有興趣學習卻又不好意思開口問的相關英文 1. 慣性劈腿 to repeatedly cheat on someone . 慣性劈腿者 a serial cheater 如 Jack repeatedly cheated on Grace when they were together, and this makes him a serial cheater . 2. 形象跌落谷底 ...'s image has been tattered beyond repair . 如 After the scandal, the mayor's image has been tattered beyond repair . 3. 在一起(成為情侶) to be an item . 論及婚嫁 talk of marriage 如...
Wow, it’s an e-book? Thanks, but I prefer physical books because of my dry eyes.
回覆刪除You can give e-reader a try. E-readers are generally easier on the eyes than screens on tablets and phones because they use a reflective E Ink display that mimics the look of paper, not emit light from a backlight.
刪除Also, I forgot to mention that this book also includes an audio version.
刪除OIC! Thanks, I'll think about it.
刪除I’ve thought about getting an e-reader, but I decided to just borrow books from the library instead. I like the feeling of real paper, and I’m kind of a minimalist anyway. An e-reader would just take up space. The less I own, the happier I feel.
刪除These e-readers are small and will actually take up less space. But I understand how some people like to read a real book, the old-fashioned way.
