Jill: Jill 的留言Hello 各位
我想請問大家些英文問題,第一就是英文聽力,向我做聽力測驗時,常常long conversation都記不住重點 or 因為其中一個字聽無就會去想,然後忘了後面在講什,so考試就答不出來
第二,我粉想多個外國人聊天合他們向好朋友般,但我的英語字彙&對話能力時在有限,所以常常冷場,
請問該怎咪半呢??
謝謝大家
回覆：
I used to be like that, yet I listened to a lot of tapes repeatedly everyday. Also, I read many articles and consulted my electronic dictionary frequently.
I think build up the vocabulary is the key. As long as you have enough input-- listening and reading, you will feel comfortable to output--speaking and writing.
The processs is not easy, yet if you can stick to it everyday, one day you will taste the sweet fruits of the success.

Jean: Jean 的留言It is sad to read that those young children started learning English so well in their early ages, but did not continually improve their English to a much better level in high school. I wonder what kind of teachers and English materials they are using in those high schools. Instead of helping those young starters to improve their language skill to a much higher level, the education system might delay their development. It is not fair to blame everything to those kindergarten. What is wrong with having Amercian(or Canadian) teachers at those kindergartens English program? They will absolutely help out with the pronunciation.......at least!
回覆：
Yes, when kids have already acquired English speaking competence in kindergartens, their pronunciation and intonation are usually better than those who don have chance to learn at the early age.
Yet, how come these 2 goups academic performance are closer when they are in high schools?
I think the reason is that high school teachers focus on the grammar and repetitive drill on answering the questions in exams. Therefore, in general, even kids who don learn English in kindergartens are able to have good score in their tests, if they study hard.
Conversely, the ones who have already learned their English at kindergartens or continuously learn it in elementary schools will encounter something in junior high schools-- the lessons are too easy for them. They have alreay learned those articles before,so they can not make great progress at that stage for they are not assigned to read more advanced articles.

永恆的雨: 永恆的雨 的留言does that mean "has a third person" is more suitable for marriage.. while playboy&gal is like dont take love as a serious thing.. while. two timer is like for real couple which is serious in love but bcos of some private reason so he/she become two-timer?
hm.. but i think that this three words can really mix ppl up cos they
e really confusing me.. hm.. lets see in a relationship, if a guy is not serious in love hes a playboy while if hes in love wit two gal within the same time hes two-timer and it can also be he has a third person as well.. hm.. i guess its depend on the sentences you use,right?
eg:
Hes a playboy.
Hes a two timing between june and susan.
He has a third person within his marriage.
is this ok? i dunno i jus write it out.. dunno whether its correct or not?
hm..=(
hehe

recently i watched tv that jolin say that two timer can be also transmit as has a third person. is this correct?some say no some prefer playboy or playgal well some say that two timer is more formal and traditional? so how? im confusing!!
thanks for solving my confusing...
回覆：
"has a third person" is more like "有第三者"直譯.
playboy or playgal is more like 不專情的人 這邊玩玩 那邊玩玩
two-time(r) 是同時和兩個人交往(的人)

Kay: Kay 的留言星媽..這還是我第一次知道chip in. 那假設是總金額除以人頭的話算chip in嗎?? 就是不管實際上個人點的東西, 但一律平均除以人頭來算的情形.
回覆：
Splitting the tab is even worse. 呵呵
算人頭平分 一次二次還可以 要是每次如此 那對胃口小的人不是很不公平 美國人也很喜歡用這一套 尤其吃的多的人 呵呵 以前我看過一個人問Dear Abby之類的有關這方面的問題 看來她還很受困擾ㄋ 她不想吃太多 可是又不想多付太多別人的份 其實吃多少就付多少是最簡單的方式 我們上次網聚也是一組一個tabㄋ 省很多算錢的麻煩 ^^

Lynda: Lynda 的留言Sara,
今年三月十七號是St. Patricks Day 而Easter 則是在三月二十七號。
我對St. Patricks Day 以經沒有感覺了﹐但是應該會設法找出綠色衣服給兒子穿應應景吧~不過好像愛爾蘭後裔以及年輕人就比較會在這個節日瘋狂一點。
Easter 復活節不只是宗教節日﹐這裡還是蠻多傳統的慶祝方式﹐我們下星期就要教小朋友畫彩蛋及找彩蛋的活動真希望天氣能暖和些才好在戶外舉行。復活節的應景東西有兔寶寶﹐畫彩蛋﹐Jelly
Beans, Marshmallow Peeps, 還有很多蛋形的巧克力。雖然是宗教節日但是孩子們是很喜歡Easter 的活動的。好像每年白宮也會辦類似的活動不是嗎﹖
回覆：
Sounds interesting!!! Everyone wears in green.
Remember to take pictures for those colorful eggs. Id like to see.^^
Thanks for your info, because in Taiwan, we don know much about these foreign holidays.^_*

Lynda: Lynda 的留言謝謝Sara 整理的這麼快~ 我今天還教了我先生如何說中文的劈腿呢﹗

回覆：
No problem.^^
Will your families in the States celebrate these 2 holidays?
They sound exotic to me.^^

Lynda: Lynda 的留言(中國時報)
電子媒體報導，指蔡依林「劈腿」的英文用語，是台式的英文。報導中表示，蔡依林在英文新書中指「劈腿」為has the third person，前駐美代表陳錫藩認為two timer比較正統，補教名師徐薇則表示player是比較時髦的說法。
最近看台灣新聞的周候戀很紅﹐新聞裡在討論Jolin 牛眼妹(我自己形容的啦)的新書有關劈腿的英文﹐各位姐妹們的意見如何呢﹖

Sara: Sara 的留言Wear one"s heart on one"s sleeve –真情流露
Meaning: Show emotions or feelings openly. 公開表露自己的感情
If you wear your heart on your sleeve, you openly express your feelings or emotions to others. 假如你真情流露，你便會對他人公開表露自己的感情。
Example:
A: How did the interview go? Did he tell you what problems he has? 面試進行得如何?他有告訴你他的問題出在哪裡嗎?
B: No, it was very difficult to make him open his heart and tell me his true feelings. 沒有，很難讓他打開他的內心，並告訴我他的真正感覺。
Hes not a kind of guy who wears his heart on his sleeve. 他不是一位真情流露的人。
Be careful when you talk to her. Never wear your heart on your sleeve. 當你與她說話時要小心。千萬不要真情流露。
以上內容與圖取自:humanities.byu.edu/.../ wear_heart_on_sleeve.jpg
==============================================================
People who wear their heart on their sleeve express their emotions freely and openly, for all to see.
人們真情流露時，坦率、公開地在眾人間表露自己的感情。
Example: "She is kind of player who never hides how shes feeling.
她是一位從不隱藏自己感覺的遊戲的人。
One look at her and you know if shes winning or losing." Reply: "She wears her heart on her sleeve."
別人看她便知道她贏或輸了。回應：她真情流露。
You can see how these people feel as easily as if they were "wearing" their "heart" on the "sleeve" of their shirt.
你可以很容易了解這些人的感覺－－假如他們”真情” “流露”。
Example: "Some people love him and some people hate him, but my brother always lets you know how he feels. He wears his heart on his sleeve."
一些人喜歡他，一些人討厭他，但我哥哥(弟弟)總是讓人知道他的感覺。他真情流露。
People who wear their heart on their sleeve do not hold back their emotions, for good or for bad. It is clear how they feel in each moment.
人們若是真情流露，不會抑制他們的情感－－不管好或壞的方面。
每一分鐘都很清楚知道他們在想什麼。
Example: "Shes a shy person. Shes never been one to wear her heart on her sleeve."
她是一位怕羞的人。她從來不流露真情。

Sara: Sara 的留言Dear Angie,
When watching that Baby Jane Doe on TV in Taiwan, my families and I were stunned about that.
How could someone be so ruthless to throw his/her baby away like that?
Yet,luckily, the baby is safe and sound in the end. Thank god.
回覆：
You got this news on Taiwan TV too?! Wow, 真是新聞傳千里!
I found this news when I was searching for Jane Doe on google. I didnt know about this baby then. What a coincidence! ^^

星媽: 星媽 的留言Sara,
我想我應該跟你說一下重點好了 (我翻譯挺爛的 只好只講重點:-)
1. rash是紅斑點
2. sweetly形容old-fashioned 有nice的意思
3. checks out his reflection 有照鏡子的意思 不過這裡大概是照商店的玻璃窗
4. are shown被動 buds朋友
5. tick -- how it works
^_^
回覆：
Thank you very much.星媽
I learn a lot from you.^^

Lynda: Lynda 的留言Sara,
不好意思我把我之前的留言刪了﹐沒有惡意只是不知我寫的淺見有沒有Make sense 而以。不錯你可以一心好幾用﹐我看書沒法聽==音樂﹐但是我的先生卻是相反看書可以開著電視和音樂。有個有趣的症狀可以和你分享﹕
有種語言治療臨床的病症叫做CAPD(Century Auditory Process Disorder),基本上這種人在很吵雜的環境中無法集中注意力。如果是在學校裡面老師則要用麥克風上課﹐這樣的小孩也需要坐在第一排。有時我也認為大人們有多少的不同的語言問題
的症狀只是輕與重的程度不同而已。
回覆：
Its alright. ^_*I also deleted mine.
I think what you said make sense, and I appreciate your great knowledge that you know many theories. Wow!
If I went to library, I would fall asleep, because it was too silent for me. haha
Different people have different habits on studying.^^
-
星媽: 星媽 的留言Sara,
I am thinking maybe if youd reconsider your translations of the following:
1. hes all over you like a rash
2. sweetly old-fashioned
3. checks out his reflection
4. Wait and see if you are shown the same allegiance as his buds are.
5. tick
^.^

Thank you.^^

機車千: 機車千 的留言好像還有grizzly adam...意思我只是很模糊的理解：大鬍子的老粗。
除了這個之外，還有很多形容個人(較與國籍無關的)，比如說high brows，指的是很臭屁的人，眉毛總是挑高高的看人；skank，指的是跟地上的口香糖一樣黏到就甩都甩不掉的bimbo，這個字還有形容詞哩：skanky。
door mat：沒個性、任人踩
goof：阿呆樣、傻傻的
wanker:阿俗、呆瓜、沒水準(我的認知是這樣啦，不知道對不對就是了)
wannabe(want to be):冒牌貨、喜歡假裝自己跟某些人是一樣的。
fag,flammer,pole smoker:(屎提夫教的！)gay
題外話，老外對"男人的那裡"好像也有很多字溜！比如說：trouser snake(褲子裡的蛇)、meat flute、human organ、one eye monster。
ㄎㄎㄎ~

另外﹐前幾天看Friends 時﹐Joey 反問其中一個人說“You don think that I can pull it off?" 我想意思是說”你覺得我做不出來是不是﹖”反正pull off 是perform的意思就是了﹐應該是吧﹖有沒有人可以給我多一些例句﹖

Does your guy jump your bones whenver, well, he gets a boner?
關鍵在whenever,並且對照接下來的句子,應是他一勃起就想要...
While his high energy makes him a blast...

Its very nice of you giving me advice and making me improve a lot.^^
I don mind being corrected by others.^^ I always welcome others suggestion. Then, I can learn from my misunderstanding.

Ruby: Ruby 的留言Lynda, 名字這篇很有趣!我的名字也被老公列為old lady的行列!
關於小籠包,因為英文沒有恰到好處的翻譯,所以會有不同的翻法吧!我問老公他覺得小籠包像dumpling還是bun,他覺得比較接近dumpling,因為bun給人的感覺是有fluffy dough。也許該用拼音!說不定過一段時間就會變成通用,像dim sum, sushi, ravioli等外來語。
回覆：
寶石類的名字還真不少﹐Emerald, Ruby, Pearl, Amber, Jade, Crystal... 很好聽啊﹗
我的也是老名字還好是拼Y 有些許的變化。你說的外來語的建議也很不錯耶。
聽說台北真在找一個有名的菜來代表城市﹐很多人建議”牛肉麵“!

我放真正的意思進去了﹐不想教壞人家說~
下個題目我來說一些有關宗教的字make it up to this bad word.

American Idol是一個歌唱節目 全美大概有十萬人參加(not sure about the number) 他們會把出賽剪輯撥出 很多人唱得很難聽都不自覺 很搞笑
最後會選到剩下12個人 然後由全美打電話投妳要支持的人 到最後選最後一個 就是American Idol.
這個節目源自英國 現在全世界有好多國家都有這個節目 他們還有一次把所有國家的Idol聚在一起比賽 選World Idol.
也許我應該post這一篇 呵呵
回覆：
Wow,sounds interesting.^^ You should post it.
Everyone can vote for the ones they like. Then, the final winner must be popular after the voting result, right?
Its a pity that in Taiwan we don see this kinds of hilarious singing programs. We can only see CNN, HBO, Discovery, and several sitcoms. Thanks god that I can watch sitcoms here. I like comedies so much, rather than those sad movies.

星媽: 星媽 的留言Sara,
A few suggestions: ^_^
your breath could knock over a water buffalo.
breath -- here means "bad breath" 口臭
pull the plug -- not support any more
lost his job to Japan -- the key word is "to", not "in". In the 80s, Japanese car sales caused a lot of American auto-makers to lose their jobs.

Thank you.星媽
Ive revised them.^^

Sara: Sara 的留言Re:其實在美國待久了你會發現他們都習慣說好聽的話
Although Im in Taiwan, I feel the foreigners here I met are like what you said. They like to speak up positive words, which is very different from most trditional Taiwanese.
That is one of the reason I like to learn English, because I feel the culture behind is very optimistic and laid-back.
Yet,how come they can pay compliments on any trivial things weve regarded all the time? I think the reason is that the environmet-- when they are little, theyve heard so many positive words from their parents or teachers, so when they grow up, they do the same to others.

Sara 這真的是文化的不同﹐每一次問他們食物好吃嗎﹖他們一定回答好吃﹐但問他們要不要再 吃﹐他們就搖頭說不要了。所以﹐基本上他們的客氣和我們的直言真的
差很多~我還在努力學習Tact 呢﹗

Kay: Kay 的留言嘻嘻..不會呀.
其實等你們去鼎泰豐時可注意看menu, 我記得好像在LA吃時,他們menu上是這樣寫的...
對,cage指的是籠子.裝在籠子裏的小籠包..中文名字也是由此來的吧? 裝在竹籠裏的小湯包.

Sara: Sara 的留言Re:話說美國電視節目
Wow, these terms are very useful.I like it.^^
I feel so envious of you. You guys could see so many American sitcoms, soap operas, and etc. there.
BTW, 星媽,could you introduce different TV programs to us, such as Childrens, cartoons, talk shows and etc.?^^

星媽: 星媽 的留言Lynda,
我在想他們是不是自己都聽不到自己的歌聲啊?! 哈哈 有些實在很離譜!
回覆：
我第一次看到那個William Hung 時﹐還以為他是有蒙古症呢~但人家還是伯克萊的學生耶~所以啊﹐離譜或許那些人還真的很正常呢﹗要賣結婚戒指去參加比賽我就覺得太奇怪了。

Ruby: Ruby 的留言Lynda & Kay, 聽說鼎泰豐要在尖鋒時間外才有可能排得到，例如4點以前。Lynda，你問過我電話，我沒你連絡電話耶！有空的話傳到我email好嗎！謝謝啦！兩位台北見囉！

Lynda: Lynda 的留言星媽﹐小籠包好像不包Cabbage。我猜Kay 是指cage - 籠子﹖我是第一次聽到這種說法呢~
昨天那個自稱是Toni Braxton親戚的實在粉誇張耶~

星媽: 星媽 的留言cage dumpling?! 很奇怪的翻譯! 還是cabbage dumpling? Just wondering! ^_^

永恆的雨: 永恆的雨 的留言hey, since started school it haf been a few weeks i dint attend here.. now im coming haha..

and the article bout prince harry stuff hm.. i think that if he was born in a normal family maybe hell be more happier than now on.. in a royal family should need to handle more stress than others and do things with respondsible.. how pity.. hm.. read the pot bellies buttons articles too.. i guess cos pot bellies button give women safety so they liked it.. i guesss.. these are all my opinion.. thanks any grammar mistakes pls tell thanks.. and yea sara wat are the difference between caught and caught up? both of them are different meaning i thought they are same meaning as being arrest
回覆：
1.
Is there "scientific evidence" for the existence of God? 神的存在有科學根據嗎？
2.
As for the "got caught" and "got caught up" question, I learnt from Ruby and 星媽.
What they explained to me is that it depends on the "contextual meaning".
In that article, it means the guy "was obsessed in" what he was planning.
Yet, Ruby explained that people usually say one "got caught up" instead of one "got caught" only, in that case.
-
星媽: 星媽 的留言Hahaha...after I read the article "WHY MEN WITH POT-BELLIES TURN WOMEN ON". I told my husband he should be pretty popular right now. HaHa~
回覆：
When translating that, I was thinking what you guys would feel after reading it, because the content was very realistic.It broke many girls fantasy.haha^^
-
星媽: 星媽 的留言I think Ruby is right about "got caight up in the moment", here "the moment" means for what he was doing at that time. ^-^
Enlish is confusing, eh? ^^
回覆：
Right.^^
Yet, learning English makes me feel life is meaningful.
-
平民少奶奶: 平民少奶奶 的留言可是有個彌勒佛老公
有時也想要有個肌肉男啊
呵呵

回覆：
Thats many girls fantasy.^^
Yet, when girls grow up, they realized that beauty is only skin deep.
