Rebecca老師專欄 學歷│政大英文系 國北師兒童英語教學研究所 經歷│兒童美語、英文故事老師 國高中升學補習班英文科講師
LiveABC 互動英語集團電視教學節目暨廣播教學節目老師 現任│冠英語感英文國中部英文老師 一歲兒子的媽媽
二 〇 一 四 年， Rebecca 對 自 己的期許就是： 「要帶著 ABC 互動英語的讀者們，戰勝英語學習上那些 惱人的小麻煩！」有沒有覺得自己的英語程度並不會太差， 但是有一些小地方就是會搞混呢？今天就先來說說 ”s“ 這 個討人厭的小東西。 「beside/besides」你分得清楚它們的差別嗎？有沒有 s， 意思差很大呢！想想看，以下的句子你會填入哪一個單字 呢？ q Who’s that cute girl sitting you? w I want to learn other languages English
and French. beside「在……旁邊」 besides「除了……之外」，所 以答案揭曉：q 要選 beside，w 要選 besides。 • Who’s that cute girl sitting beside you? 那個坐在你旁邊的可愛女孩是誰呀？ • I want to learn other languages besides
English and French. 除了英文和法文之外，我還想學其他的語言。 沒問題的話，我們就來試試以下的情境對話：
My friends and I went to the movies last weekend. The man (1) me was very rude. He stepped on my feet when he tried to get to his seat. He didn’t even bother to say sorry! (2) that, he kept talking on his cellphone during the movie. What a terrible experience! 我跟朋友們上周末去看電影，我旁邊那個人很沒禮貌， 他要去他位子的時候踩了我的腳，他竟然連一聲道歉都沒 有！除此之外，看電影時他還一直講手機。多麼糟糕的經 驗哪！ 解答：(1) beside (2) Besides
2
除了 beside/besides 同學們常搞混外，還有另外一組 sometime/sometimes 也著實令人困擾。想想看，以 下的句子你會填入哪一個單字呢？ q We’ll take a trip in July. w We all make mistakes .
sometime「過去或未來的某個時間點」 sometimes 「有時候」。所以答案揭曉：q 要選 sometime，w 要選 sometimes。 • We’ll take a trip sometime in July. 我們將會在七月的某個時間點去旅行。
• We all make mistakes sometimes. 我們偶爾都會犯錯。 沒問題的話，綜合今天學到的四個字，來試試看以下的情 境對話：
I work 10 hours a day, (1) more than that. One day, I was really tired after working overtime. I fell asleep (2) after I got on the MRT. A kind lady (3) me patted me on my shoulder because I was drooling on her bag. ” Oh, I am terribly sorry! “ I said. ” That ’ s okay, “ she answered. ” (4) , you are sitting on my dress.“ 我一天工作十個小時，有時候還更多。有一天，我加 班後真的好累。我搭上捷運後一段時間就睡著了。身旁 一位好心的小姐拍拍我的肩膀，因為我流口水在她的包包 上。我說：「我真的非常抱歉！」她回答說：「沒關係，除 此之外，妳還坐在我的洋裝上。」 解答：(1) sometimes (2) sometime (3) beside (4) Besides 噢，我的天哪，實在是太糗了！坐捷運的時候，請記得不 要睡太熟而出洋相啊！

1 I like to read books very much.
3 I swim very well now.
very 是程度副詞，表示「很；非常」，用來修飾形容詞 或副詞，若要修飾動詞（如文中的 like），要用副詞片語 very much，並置於句尾，因此這個句子要改成 I like to read books very much.。 • Shelly likes skiing very much.
swim 是一般動詞，只能用副詞來修飾其程度，因此形容 詞 good 要改成副詞 well，和 very 搭配，形成副詞片語 very well「非常好地」。形容詞 good 用來修飾名詞，後
v.
adv.
面可搭配可數或不可數名詞。 • Wade understands French very well, because he
studies in France.
雪莉非常喜歡滑雪。
韋德精通法文，因為他在法國讀書。
• The television is very loud. adv.
• Those flowers have a very good smell. 那些花的味道很香。
adj.
電視太大聲了。 • My sister wakes up very late every day.
4 across vs. over
adv. adv.
across 和 over 都可當介系詞用，over 是表示「越過…… 上方」、「越過（某障礙物）」；而 across 則是表示「橫渡；
我姊姊每天都很晚起。
2 There are a lot of books… 要表示「（某地）有……」，英文要說： There is + 單數名詞 . There are + 複數名詞 . 若要使用一般動詞 have/has 來表示「有……」，主詞必須 是有生命的人或動物。根據文意，作者是要表達誠品書店 這個「地方」有很多書，因此這個句子要改成 There are a lot of books...。 • There are a lot of mosquitoes in this bedroom. 臥室裡有很多蚊子。
{
• Peter has a black and red bicycle. 彼得有一輛黑紅相間的腳踏車。
穿越（到對面、另一頭）」。因為在日月潭裡游泳，是從一 邊游到另一邊，不可能從潭水上方越過去，因此介系詞要 改成 across。 • The little kids ran across the field. 那些小孩跑過操場。 • Dark clouds are passing over us. 烏雲從我們上方飄過。
5 other vs. another 要表達「另一個」的英文字有兩個：another 與 other， 兩者都是形容詞，後面可直接接名詞 hobby，但前面若出 現所有格（如 my）或定冠詞（the），則只能使用 other， 說成 my other hobby。 • The town’s other train station is much bigger. 城裡的另一座火車站要大得多了。 • Do you want another piece of fruit? 你想再吃一片水果嗎？

In your opinion, what is a long motorcycle trip? Do you think that 100 kilometers is a long trip? How about 200? In 2012, Stephane Etienne and Paul Torriero took a motorcycle trip that was almost 30,000 kilometers long! They started in Vancouver, Canada, and they rode all the way to New York. They stopped at beautiful places along the way. During the trip, they went camping in the mountains of Canada. They also learned the cowboy lifestyle,1 ate buffalo* meat, and watched one of the world’s most dangerous sports: bull riding. In total, they rode for about three months and saw four countries. At the end of their trip, they finally arrived in New York. Stephane and Paul have a serious goal. More than 500 million people around the world have chronic kidney disease.* They want to help these people. Kidney disease causes serious problems, and many people die from it. However, simple tests can detect2 it. Stephane and Paul are raising3 money and convincing4 people to help them. They’re having an adventure and helping the world at the same time. The entire5 journey6 is documented* on TLC’s latest series WorldRiderZ, and it is on every Sunday at 10 p.m. 54

記錄；記載
翻譯為「摩托車」或「機車」，不過這兩個字指的 可不是同一種車，motorcycle 指的是前座不能放腳 的摩托車，而 scooter 則是在臺灣普遍可見、前座 可放腳的機車 ，所以下次要跟人家說自己都騎機車
史帝芬和他的兒子。史帝芬的兒子先天腎臟發育不全，因此 才讓史帝芬發起摩托車環球之旅的運動，希望引起世人對腎 臟病的重視。
上班時，不要再說 motorcycle 了，除非你跟文中 的兩位騎士一樣，真的是騎重型機車上下班。

Just You is a romantic comedy. The leading actor* is Aaron Yan. He plays the CEO of a company. He wants everything in his life to follow his rules. For example, he does not allow his workers to date each other. The leading actress* is Puff Guo. Her character is very lively.* When the two characters meet each other, they can’t agree on anything. However, they gradually* fall in love. Behind the scenes,* there are some interesting stories. Aaron says that a fortune teller* once told him he was an emperor* in a past life. He laughs and says no wonder he can play the CEO so well. In the film, there’s a kissing scene between Aaron and Puff. Puff got very nervous because so many people were watching them. She kept talking during the filming. The other performers laughed and said that she probably spoke so much because she was nervous. This is the first time Aaron and Puff have worked together. The two idols’ great performances are making them popular with teenagers. This is one of the few successful romantic comedies in recent years.
《就是要你愛上我》是一齣浪漫愛情喜劇，男主角是炎亞綸， 他飾演一間公司的執行長，生活中大小事都要按照他的規矩才可 以，例如，他禁止公司員工談戀愛。女主角是郭雪芙，她的角色 非常活潑開朗，兩個人一碰面就處處不對盤，然而卻漸漸對彼此 產生愛意。 這部戲有一些好玩的幕後花絮。炎亞綸說有位命理師曾說他 前世是皇帝，他開玩笑說難怪自己可以將執行長演得如此傳神。 劇中兩位主角有一場吻戲，因為現場有太多人圍觀，郭雪芙非常 緊張，因此拍攝時講話講個不停，其他演員笑她話這麼多，大概 是因為她很緊張吧。 這是炎亞綸和郭雪芙首次合作，兩位偶像的精彩演出讓他們 大受青少年喜愛，該片是近年來少見的成功偶像劇之一。
