今天高頻字:shame
無預期地反覆看到shame不同用法和意境,在英文是個中性詞,可以是無羞恥心也可以是有自信的,在中文卻大多是負面意思,指不要臉。
- The athlete is shameless about the Hyrox incident. 對於此事件不感到羞恥
- For some people, it is a matter of shame. 面子問題
以後遇到可以多注意!
也遇到其他可以丟到情緒輪子裡的字,例如
- withdrawn adj. 退縮、逃避的
- buzzing with excitement 外表看出來很興奮
- The participants are grossed out by the incident. 被噁心到、感到噁心
另外,單字的差異
- raise vs. rise (聯想:Raise my hand to get a raise. Rice needs sunrise.)
- call off the game = cancel the game 但是不等於 pause the game
🏆同學優秀字句
- Can you take us through the meaning of "OOO"? 請你解釋一下...
- Surprisingly ... but unsurprisingly... 前後平行對比的好句型
- The athlete "lost her sh*t". 很恰當的雙關語!
- There's something to it. 一種說不出來的感覺(正面)
