不要耍我 不要找我麻煩 不要製造我的困擾的英文怎說?

 


Jerk someone around

常在黑幫電影裡聽到類似的口語『Don't jerking me around!』Jerk當動詞有『快速擺動或拉把』的意思,名詞可以形容一個人是『混球、混蛋』
所以Jerk around就是到處亂搞、或者浪費時間的意思

Stop jerking me around and give me my money back. 不要耍我 把我的錢還我.

利用中文報導練習英文翻譯

是的,你沒看錯標題,今天簡單時事學英文系列,就是來說說怎麼用中文報導來練習英文,有時當你在讀中文報紙,發現記者是引用國外的報導,而且沒有附加原文報導網址,然後你又對這則新聞報導有興趣的時候呢,這個時候你只要稍為去找一下中翻英文的關鍵字,就可以找到原文了。

 

譬如最近一則報導:

小氣一輩子 美翁身後捐1.9億類似這種新聞標題,百分之八十都是參考國外新聞來的

美國佛蒙特州老翁李德去年以92歲高齡辭世,身後留下多達800萬美元(約台幣2.5億元)遺產.... (想看詳細報導請自行上網搜索)

 

然後我們就可以依照中文報導內容在Google 打上英文翻譯的關鍵字:

1.Vermont 92 years old 佛蒙特州、92歲

2.Vermont  left  million 佛蒙特州、留下百萬

3.Vermont old man gas station 佛蒙特州、老人、加油站

 

你就會很快找到原來的中文報導出處囉,而且你已經看過中文版了,再看英文新聞版本,會變的更清楚和理解英文新聞內容,當然關鍵字都是差不多的喔

Vermont man who lived simple life leaves millions to local institutions-Link

Former janitor leaves $6 million to local hospital and library -Link

Frugal Service Station Worker Leaves $6 Million to Hospital, Library in Small Vermont Town-Link

 

然後你在閱讀各則的英文報導中,就可以學到許多新的英文單字跟詞彙,而且不用太費力氣,只要中文報導跟英文報導對照一下就可以囉 

foraging firewood -伐木
hitchhiking 搭便車
knack for picking stocks -善於股市
attorney 律師
flannel shirt 法蘭絨夾克
He was unbelievably frugal 不敢相信的節儉

 


所以做了以上的動作你會練習到

1.中文翻譯英文練習

2.英文新聞報導閱讀

3.英文單字查詢練習

 

以上的小方法是不是很簡單也對初學英文的同們有幫助呢 ^_____^

有沒有想過學英文也可以很輕鬆呢?

其實我身邊有許多英文超強的人,常覺得他們怎麼這麼厲害,除了常用英文才不會忘記外,到底是怎麼學的呢?

其中一位英文高手同學的建議是,多看英文新聞,但是只看標題就好?

我在想這又是那一招,這也可以嗎?

她說於其記一些不常用的英文,不如看一些最近時事,或者你有感興趣的英文新聞標題

譬如:這幾日很火紅的台北市長柯P,因為英國交通部長贈錶,而被BBC新聞報導的事
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-30994307 新聞連結

A UK government minister has apologised for giving a watch to the mayor of Taiwan's capital city, Taipei, without realising such gifts are taboo.

單字查詢參考:Government minister (政府長官) Mayor of Taiwan's Capital City(台灣首都市長 )、Taboo (禁忌)

她說這個標題花個1分鐘看一下,馬上就可以認得很多單字了,如果碰到不認識的單字再去查一下,因為一般的英文新聞標題都是用很簡單且常用時事英文單字,每天找個幾則新聞標題在上班偷懶或者學校下課的時候看一眼,這比記一些煩躁無味的英文課本單字好用多了

我想這對想學英文,又想偷懶的同學來說,真是不錯的一招!趕快學起來放!!

 

補充一下新聞內容,看一下名人說抱歉的時候英文怎麼說:

"I'm sorry. We learn something new each day," Transport Minister Baroness Kramer said in a statement.

"I had no idea a gift like this could be seen as anything other than positive. In the UK a watch is precious - because nothing is more important than time."

看美劇學英文的時候常聽到有人說「More or Less 」根據英文字典-American Heritage Dictionary- 描述定義為"basically, essentially." 中文也可以佷口語的解釋為「差不多」「基本上是」

 

例句:

It took me 3 hours to get to the City, more or less~

閃電俠第一季第一集裡也有聽到這句用語喔

警察:
what you can do... It was the lightning bolt? (你的能力是因為那道閃電嗎?)

閃電俠:
More or less(差不多)

Third wheel第三個輪子,這句英文到底是什麼意思呢?

普通我們看到的騎踏車都是2個車輪子的,所以囉,第三個輪子就是多出來,沒有用到的輪子,這裡就是當「電燈泡」的意思,每天看一些常用的英文俚語簡單學英文還滿有意思的。

 

The term 「third wheel」 is a corruption of fifth wheel, which refers to someone who deters the socialization of a couple, perhaps when being invited out of pity or through a feeling of duty.-WIKI

 

俚語例句:

"Are you sure you want me to come with you and your girl/boyfriend to the date? I don't ... I don't want to be the third wheel"

富爸爸、窮爸爸裡羅柏特.清崎 最喜歡的一首詩 (未選之路英文原文)

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth;Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same,And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads onto way, I doubted if I should ever come back.I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence; Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

Robert Frost(1916)

以上英文單字意味比較深,只留存練習使用。

關於金錢與人生的故事

 

(這是網路一直流傳的一篇故事 值得一讀再讀  原作者:佚名)

An American investment banker was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellowfin tuna. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them.

The Mexican replied, “only a little while. The American then asked why didn’t he stay out longer and catch more fish? The Mexican said he had enough to support his family’s immediate needs. The American then asked, “but what do you do with the rest of your time?”

The Mexican fisherman said, “I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take siestas with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine, and play guitar with my amigos. I have a full and busy life.” The American scoffed, “I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat. With the proceeds from the bigger boat, you could buy several boats, eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing, and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then LA and eventually New York City, where you will run your expanding enterprise.”

The Mexican fisherman asked, “But, how long will this all take?”

To which the American replied, “15 – 20 years.”

“But what then?” Asked the Mexican.

The American laughed and said, “That’s the best part. When the time is right you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich, you would make millions!”

“Millions – then what?”

The American said, “Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siestas with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos.”

 

@中文故事概述 非翻譯

在墨西哥一個小漁村的碼頭邊,一位美國投資銀行家遇到一個駕著小船剛剛打魚回來的漁夫。
小船裡是幾條長著黃色長鰭的金槍魚。美國人誇墨西哥人的魚真是不錯,並問捕這些魚要花多長時間。
墨西哥人回答;“只需一會兒工夫。”
然後美國人問:“為什麼你不在外面多呆些時候,捕更多的魚呢?”
墨西哥人說:“這些已足夠我家用了。”
美國人又問:“但是剩下的時間你幹什麼去呢?”
這個漁夫說;“每天我會睡個懶覺,然後打點魚,逗孩子玩會兒,陪我老婆瑪麗亞睡個午覺。晚上在村子裡晃蕩幾圈,和朋友們彈會兒吉他,再喝上幾杯。我的生活充實而又忙碌。”
美國人嘲笑地說:“我是哈佛大學畢業的,獲得MBA學位,我想我或許能夠幫助你。我建議你應該花更多的時間去捕魚,然後用賣魚掙的錢買一條更大些的船——用這條大船掙的錢你可以再買幾條船,最後你就會擁有一個船隊;你要直接把捕到的魚賣給加工商,而不是中間那些二道販子,這樣你才能賣得最好的價錢;財富積累到一定程度,你要自己開家食品罐頭廠,這樣你就能控制整個產品的生產、加工和供應。那時候你就可以離開這個小漁村,搬到墨西哥城去,然後是洛杉磯,甚至是紐約,在那裡你還可以再進一步擴大你的投資。”
墨西哥漁夫問:“但是,這得需要多長時間呢?”
銀行家回答:“大約15到20年。”
“然後又怎麼樣?”漁夫問。
美國人得意地笑著說:“然後才是最精彩的篇章。當你投資企業達到一定規模,到時時機成熟,你就可以宣布你的IPO上市計劃,向公眾出售你的股票。一夜之間,你就會變得非常富有,能夠賺成百上千萬美元啊。”
“上千萬?然後呢?”
美國人說:“然後,你就可以退休了,搬到一個海岸邊的小漁村,早晨睡個懶覺,打幾條魚,逗逗孩子們,陪老婆睡個午覺。晚上在村里溜達幾圈,和朋友們彈會兒吉他,再喝上幾杯。”
墨西哥漁夫說:“我現在過的不就是這樣的生活嗎?”

       目前台灣的食品安全問題(Food safety scandal)己經到了一個無法掌控的情況,官員的處理情況就跟面對伊波拉病毒(EBOLA)一樣,非但沒有辦法掌控油品的流向也沒辦法清楚廠商的進貨來源,下次會再爆發什麼樣的食品安全問題呢?大多數的台灣人民也不太知道,為什麼通過食品安全檢查(The Food Safety and Inspection Service)的食品一再的出現錯誤,讓人民對於政府又一再的失去信心。

台灣藝人夏克立對於不良廠商在牛奶加了不正當添加物也在臉書公開表達自己對於食品安全的看法,對於他的女兒很抱歉,政府沒有做好食品檢查的工作,需受到讉責,並希望違法廠商可以受到應有的嚴懲。

So Angry!!! I've been feeding my daughter this milk!! This company has been putting terrible things in this milk!!! I'm pissed. Fuck them! And if the government officials don't come down firmly on these companies, closing them down, then they too should go to jail!!!! 

(Children, I'm sorry for swearing but there needs to start being some people punished in this irresponsible government for hurting the people of Taiwan! In other governments they would choose to resign for such a terrible act against the people!!!)

2014 Taiwan food scandal

The series of incidents first came to light on 4 September 2014, when it was discovered that tainted cooking oil was being produced by Kaohsiung-based company Chang Guann Co. (強冠企業) and branded as Chuan Tung Fragrant Lard Oil (全統香豬油).[5] The company was found to have blended cooking oil with recycled oil, grease and leather cleaner.

The Mayonnaise Jar and 2 cups of Coffee 

Author:Unknown   

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

 (Mayonnaise jar 果醬、美奶芝)

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

 (Pebbles鵝卵石 )

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes." 

 (Sand 沙子)

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed. 

"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things-your God, family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favourite passions -- things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

 The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car.

 The sand is everything else -- the small stuff. If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

 Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal." Take care of the golf balls first -- the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.

 "One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."
