「瘋搶口罩」最傳神的英文講法，教練給大家補充一下。武漢新冠狀病毒第二彈 - 口罩搶購、囤積與配給，應景的英文五分鐘學起來。To mask or not to mask, that is the question.
教練現在大多時間都在照顧生病中的娘。今天娘問教練說：「阿你英文沒有教，也好幾個月沒有去口譯了，是不是ABC都忘光光了啊」？教練就回答說對啊啊。
其實現在的我雖然是個看護，但還是天天閱讀英文，並且每天都聽Blinkist 。英文不但沒有忘光光，還學了更多東西。將來有空教練再闢單元跟大家分享我學到的英文。
言歸正傳，後來教練的娘問教練，那瘋搶口罩，那個瘋搶的英文是啥？娘想必是要考考教練目前的英文程度，說真的，就算教練回答得出來，娘也不會曉得我講的對不對啊不是嗎，今天教練就來教大家「瘋搶」的英文，學到賺到喔。
