ABC答客問 「睜眼說瞎話」英文怎麼說?
That man was lying through his teeth when he said he didn’t take the money. 那個人說他沒有偷錢,根本是睜眼說瞎話。
lie through (one’s) teeth 直譯就是「謊話從齒縫間溜出來」,如同我們中 文常說的「睜眼說瞎話」。
• Carol said that she was telling the truth, but she is lying through her teeth. 卡蘿說自己說的是事實,但她分明是在睜眼說瞎話。
答
客問
「跳槽」英文怎麼說?
The company is going to close, so a lot of people are jumping ship. 那家公司快要倒閉了,所以有一堆人正準備跳槽。
jump ship 是「跳船」的意思,這裡的船引申指「公司」,因此 jump ship 可表示「離職」,也可解釋成「跳槽」。
• George hates his job, so he wants to jump ship. 喬治不喜歡他的工作,所以他想跳槽。
「又怎麼了?」英文怎麼說?
A: We have another big problem. 我們又碰上另一個大麻煩了。
B: Oh no! Now what? 喔不!又怎麼了?
Now what? 還可表示「接下來怎麼辦?」,用在當某人對某個狀況感到手 足無措時,詢問他人要如何處理。
• A: We’re lost! 我們迷路了!
B: We don’t have a map. Now what? 我們沒有地圖,那現在該怎麼辦?

參考單字》
lyrics [ `l6r6ks ] n. mood [ mud ] n. 36
歌詞(恆用複數) 心情
Corrections 1 feel calm and relaxed feel 是連綴動詞,後面必接形容詞。relax 是動詞「使放 鬆」的意思,其形容詞為 relaxed 和 relaxing,relaxed 表示「(人)感到放鬆的」,relaxing 意指「(事物)令人 放鬆的」。文中的主詞為「人」,因此這裡要改成 relaxed。 • I feel more relaxed when you are around.
Annie’s Mailbox
修正
better 是單音節形容詞 good 的不規則比較級,前面不可 加 more。 • Penny’s English is getting better. 佩妮的英文愈來愈好。 • The watch is more expensive than the dress. 那支手錶比那件洋裝還要貴。
4 watch vs. see
你在的時候我才感到比較放鬆。 • Just relax. Everything is going to be fine. 放輕鬆,一切都會沒事的。
兩字都解釋為「看」,但用法有所不同,詳見下表:
• Connie enjoyed a relaxing afternoon. 康妮享受了一個悠閒的午後。
watch [ w3t] ] v.
see [ si ] v.
長時間專注地觀看,受詞 多為電視節目、影片、戲 劇表演等。
無意識地看、瀏覽,無特 定受詞。
they 是代名詞「他們」的意思,為主格用法,但文中主詞 most of + N. 當中的名詞須為受格,所以要將 they 改成 受格的 them 才對。
Arthur likes to watch talk shows.
Bruce sees a cockroach over there.
亞瑟喜歡看脫口秀。
• I have seven brothers and sisters. Most of us
Did you watch the baseball game last night?
布魯斯看到那裡有一隻 蟑螂。
2 Most of them have no lyrics.
work in Taipei.
受格
我有七個兄弟姐妹,我們大多都在臺北工作。 • They are going to the supermarket later.
你昨天晚上有看那場棒球 比賽嗎?
I saw many famous people at the party. 我在那場派對上看到很多 名人。
主格
他們等一下要去超市。
3 feel better 形容詞比較級的規則如下: 直接在字尾 + er: long → longer, tall → taller, old → older 字尾為 e 時直接 + r: 單音節 nice → nicer, cute → cuter, large → larger 為「子音 + 短母音 + 子音」時,重複字尾 + er: fat → fatter, big → bigger, hot → hotter
多音節
當我們說 see music videos,是指「不經意地看到」音 樂影片,並非刻意觀看,但根據文意,主角是「觀賞」影片, 因此這裡應改用 watch 才適切。
5 Listening to soft music is my hobby. 若要以動詞作為句子的主詞,必須將動詞改成動名詞 (V-ing)或不定詞(To V.),並將之視為單數,其後接第 三人稱單數動詞,但使用不定詞在語氣上較不自然,因此 這裡用 Listening to soft music is my hobby. 為佳。 • Doing the same thing every day is very boring. 每天都做一樣的事情非常無聊。 • Asking questions helps you learn more. 問問題幫助你學到更多東西。

Two hours later, we got to the top and watched the sun4 rise. Climbing Jade Mountain was very tough.* My knees5 were sore6 for days, but I was very proud. When I was at the top of the mountain, I felt great. It’s always important to challenge ourselves and achieve* new things.

Here are some interesting facts about pandas. Pandas eat at least 10 kilograms of bamboo* every day. In fact, pandas eat for about 16 hours every day. A mother panda also eats its baby’s waste.* This is because pandas don’t want other animals to trace 5 them. Pandas sit around a lot, but they can climb and swim. If a panda wants to get away from a dangerous animal, it can climb a tree. 4

Tommy老師給學生精神講話 語 2013全國國中暨高中英 軍 組冠 國中 私立 短劇比賽
Although labeled an underdog, Liu He Junior High School of Pingchen City, Taoyuan County, took the top prize in the private school division with their standout performance at the 2013 National Junior and Senior High School English Drama Competition. Zhuang Kaixin’s impressive effort earned him the award for Best Supporting Actor. At the end of the year, the students from Liu He will travel to Hong Kong to face 535 junior high school teams from Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Macau in another competition. 桃園縣平鎮市六和中學以黑馬姿態在 67 所私立國中裡脫穎而出, 榮獲 2013 年「全國國中暨高中英語短劇比賽」私立國中組冠軍,其 中莊剴昕同學也風光摘下「最佳男配角獎」。年底他們將遠赴香港參

When you’re walking around the 10-hectare campus and you hear a group of students conversing in fluent English, don’t think you’ve entered an American school. And if you spot a brawny, stern-faced man instructing students on how to conduct themselves, don’t think you’ve happened upon a military academy. This is Pingchen City’s Liu He Junior High School, and that stern-faced instructor is none other than Teacher Tommy, one of the most sought-after teachers in northern Taiwan. Those students with the excellent English you heard are the members of the English Conversation & Composition Club (EC3), winners of the 2013 National English Drama Competition.

Three years ago, Liu He principal Su Jingjin established EC3 and spared no effort in recruiting Teacher Tommy to lead the class. This group of carefully selected students underwent two and a half months of rigorous practice. In addition to daily rehearsals, the group practiced on weekends and even during Lunar New Year, following Tommy’s intense pace without a hint of remiss. The students stated that last year’s competition, their first in fact, yielded less than ideal results. This year their singular goal was to take home the crown, and each student possessed within him or herself an absolute resolve to win.
曆春節時,學生們也隨著 Tommy 老師加緊練習,不曾懈怠。孩子們 說去年第一次參加比賽的成績不盡理想,今年他們只有一個目標,就 是拿下「冠軍」,所以每一個人都抱著勢在必得的決心。
Born in Germany and raised in Canada and South Africa, Tommy has taught English for 20 years in Taiwan, the land he now loves dearly. He says what he really cares about is not whether students learn English through drama but rather their gaining an education in character cultivation. He noticed that students were very attached to their cellphones, thumbing away on them throughout the day. This led him to pen a humorous play based on his observations of teenagers entitled The Future Is in Your Hands. Perhaps due to his German heritage, which is grounded in strict discipline, Tommy is utterly strict and meticulous to a fault when leading rehearsals. He is a true perfectionist. He first spends a semester observing students’ character traits and strong points and then assigns character roles accordingly. During rehearsals, Tommy constantly emphasizes the following key points to his students.
Tommy老師親自指導演員
2013 champion
1. Face your fears: Face the things you fear and tackle them head on. 2. Team collaboration: Our first priority is teamwork, not individual performances. 3. The three fundamentals: animated gestures, exaggerated expressions and heightened vocalization. 4. Watch plenty of movies: The teacher requires students to watch the films of Jim Carrey and other comedic actors. 5. Take care of problems when they arise. Don’t let them leave rehearsal.
the female lead’s voice returned just five minutes before the competition. Tommy stated, “Although we believe in miracles, we don’t just wait for them to come. These kids did not let up in their determination and this is what created the miracle.”
德國出生,在加拿大及南非長大,熱愛臺灣的 Tommy 老師來
空等奇蹟的到來,是這些孩子們不放棄的決心創造了奇蹟的發生。」
臺教書二十年,他說他真正在意的不是學生們是否從戲劇表演中學 到英文,而是品格教育,他發現孩子們手不離機,隨時都在滑手機, 所以他觀察時下年輕人的生活型態,寫了一個詼諧幽默的劇本 The Future Is in Your Hands(掌握自己的未來)。或許是身上流著日耳曼 民族恪守紀律的血液,Tommy 老師在導戲時十分嚴謹,對每個細節 都一絲不苟,是個徹頭徹尾的完美主義者。首先他花一個學期去觀察 每一個孩子的特性和優點,再安排最合適的角色給學生。排練期間, Tommy 不斷對他的學生強調以下幾個重點:
親自替演員做造型的Tommy老師
1. 面對你的恐懼:面對你所害怕的事情並且處理它們。 2. 團隊合作:我們不是在徵求個人表現,而要把團隊合作放第 一優先。 3. 三個「大」:放大肢體表現、放大臉部表情、放大聲音呈現。 4. 多看電影:他要求學生多看金凱瑞和其他喜劇演員的電影。 5. 有問題產生要馬上處理,不要帶出排練場。
Apart from this, Tommy mentioned that thoroughly reading the script is of utmost importance. When students are reading their scripts, Tommy corrects their pronunciation and intonation while making sure their facial expressions and gestures accord with the subject matter. Even strict rehearsals, however, cannot prevent the unpredictable from occurring. Five days before the competition, for example, the female lead suddenly lost her voice, and the male lead, Lin Dahe, developed an infection (cellulitis) in his right foot that required surgery. Tommy had to quickly replace Lin with a student named Jiang Yaojie, who learned his part in three hectic days of preparation. Miraculously,
除此之外,Tommy 老師也提出熟讀劇本是最重要的訓練,一邊 讀劇本就要糾正他們的發音和語調,另一方面也要掌握住臉部表情和 肢體表達,是否符合劇情。但即使是嚴謹的排練過程,也無法避免突 發狀況。比賽前五天,女主角突然無法發出聲音講話,男主角林大禾 右腳感染蜂窩性組織炎,必須住院開刀,Tommy 老師只好趕緊另選 姜耀傑同學代打,並匆忙在三天內培訓完成。奇蹟的是女主角的聲帶 狀況竟在比賽前五分鐘恢復正常。Tommy 說:「我們相信奇蹟但不會
When the name of the champion was revealed, Tommy screamed at the top of his lungs, as if to release all the pressure that had been built over the previous few days. His students were in even more of a frenzy, filling the air with shouts of joy. After receiving the prize, Tommy and his team of assistants could not hold back their tears, for they realized that all the doubts concerning their tremendous investments of time into these seemingly trivial drama competitions would now be quieted. They would surely now gain the acknowledgment and support of parents and teachers alike. Thus, EC3 chalked up a double-win with this competition. Tommy concluded, “This experience is itself a demonstration of the idea behind ‘The Future Is in Our Hands’ because these students took it upon themselves to keep the legacy of EC3 alive and moving forward.” 當總冠軍的名單揭曉時,Tommy 放聲大叫,像是宣洩這些日子 以來的壓力,孩子們更是像瘋子般開心地歡呼。頒獎之後,Tommy 和他的助理團隊都哭了,因為他們清楚明白,EC3 現在得到了家長與 老師的認同和支持,不會再抱怨或是質疑他們為什麼如此看重區區一 場戲劇比賽,而花大把時間排練,因此 EC3 不僅贏得比賽,也贏得認 同。Tommy 說:「這次的經驗便是『The Future Is in Our Hands』的 範例,因為這些孩子們靠自己的力量掌握讓 EC3 持續走下去而不被 解散的命運。」 55

這位科學家也許是對的,但這只不過是他的猜測,沒有人知道 未來人類會長什麼樣子。
有些人只花一天就可以登上玉山,但是我的朋友和我認為這樣 太吃力,所以我們決定在山裡待一晚。我們走了四個小時,當晚就 睡在一間小木屋裡,因為我們非常疲憊,所以馬上就睡著了。

She practiced for a long time in order to master these routines.* Jolin always brings different ideas to her shows. She has tried gymnastics, yoga, belly dancing, ballet, and pole dancing. Each kind of dance takes professional* skill and strict training. Jolin always wants her work to be perfect. She often gets hurt during training, but she always keeps at it. “I can’t stand giving up things that I haven’t learned well yet,” she said. This kind of spirit earns her praise. Now things are changing for Jolin.
