Corrections
修正
1 How did I get hurt?
4 ...the robots killed us.
要表達「(某人)受傷」,固定用法為 (Sb) is/gets hurt., 這裡的 hurt 是形容詞,所以原文應改為 How did I get hurt? 較為恰當。補充說明,hurt 也可以當及物動詞,三 態同形,句型為「hurt + 身體部位/反身代名詞」。
The robots were killed us. 並不符合英文文法,判斷作者
• Two people got hurt when the bus crashed. 有兩名乘客在公車擦撞時受傷。 • The driver was seriously hurt in the accident. 駕駛在那場意外中受到重傷。 • That sofa is so heavy. If you try to move it, you
might hurt your back.
那張沙發很重,如果你要移動它,可能會傷到背部。
2 chase vs. follow
應是把主動語態和被動語態混淆,舉例說明如下: 主動語態
被動語態
I ate the cake.
The cake was eaten by me.
我吃了蛋糕。 (A + 一般動詞 + B.)
由上可知,主動語態的主詞應為「發出動作者」,被動語態 的主詞應為「承受動作者」;因為內文中 the robots 是發 出動作者,以此為主詞時要用主動語態 The robots killed us. 才對,若改寫成被動語態則是 We were killed by the robots.。 • The young man wrote a letter. 那個年輕人寫了一封信。(主動)
chase [ t]es ] v. 為了抓住對方而快速追趕
follow [ `f3lo ] v. 只有跟蹤、尾隨的行為
A chases B. A 想要趕上 B。
A follows B. A 一直跟在 B 後面。
The police chased the thief along the street.
The puppy followed me home.
警方沿路追趕小偷。
這隻小狗跟著我回家。
根據文意判斷,作者應是要表達機器人在「追趕」他們, 所以他們才試著逃跑,因此將 follow 改成 chase 較為適 切。
3 hit vs. shoot shoot [ ]ut ](shoot-shot-shot) 是動詞「發射」的意思, 主詞通常為人,句型為 (Sb) shoots + N.;文中的主詞為 a bullet,子彈無法自行發射,因此要把 shoot 改成 hit 「擊中;打」才正確,hit 搭配的主詞可為「人」或「事物」。
• The letter was written by the young man. 那封信是那位年輕人寫的。(被動)
5 last night 「昨天晚上」的固定用法是 last night,而非 yesterday night。時間用法列舉如下:
morning/afternoon/evening(○)
{ night(×) morning/afternoon/evening(×) last { night(○)
yesterday
• I ran into an old friend last night. 我昨天晚上巧遇一位老朋友。 • Raymond came to work early yesterday morning. 雷蒙昨天早上很早來上班。
• The rock hit a tree. 石頭打中一棵樹。 • The hunter shot a deer. 獵人射殺了一頭鹿。
蛋糕被我吃掉了。 (B + be 動詞 + 過去分詞 + by A.)

Meat, fish and eggs have a lot of important nutrition.* If you become a vegan, you must find ways to replace* that nutrition. If you don’t, you’ll become too underweight.1 Vegans get nutrition from other foods. Instead of milk, they often drink soy milk.* They eat things like tofu,2 cereal,3 corn and nuts. After a while,4 many vegans prefer their new food. They say that vegan food tastes better than meat. Being vegan isn’t easy. However, it makes many people healthier and happier.

There is a forest that nobody visits. In that forest, there’s a fence. On the fence, there’s a sign that warns1 people to stay away. It says “Trespassers* will be boiled.” A teenage2 girl and her father live in a mansion* behind that fence. The girl’s name is Christina. Her mother died years ago. Her father is the head3 scientist in a big company. Christina’s father worries too much, and guards4 her all the time. Christina can’t even attend 5 school. She can only take classes online. She only has one way to relax. She plays in her yard once a day. Needless to say, Christina has a lonely6 childhood. Every day, a group of strange orphans* passes her house. Christina’s father says that she must never ever speak to those orphans.

Anthony Bourdain:
Parts Unknown 2 播出時間:2014 年 07 月 24 日起,每週四晚上 9 點
一種叫做 Maklubah 的在地料理,主材料為雞肉和米飯 巴勒斯坦自治區 Ramallah 市區裡隔離牆的一景
In Parts Unknown 2, Anthony Bourdain visits Jerusalem. Jerusalem is an ancient city in the Middle East. It’s a holy2 city for Muslims, Jews and Christians. People often argue about who should control Jerusalem. Both Israelis and Palestinians claim3 that the city belongs to4 them. People have been fighting and dying for Jerusalem for a long time. During his visit, Anthony Bourdain speaks with Palestinian and Israeli people. He learns about their culture and history. They also tell him how the fighting has affected their lives.
主持人安東尼 • 波登
A great way to understand any culture is to try local food. Bourdain visits a very special restaurant in a village near Jerusalem. This restaurant is owned by a couple. One owner is Israeli and the other is Palestinian. They make traditional Palestinian food. Palestinian food is considered to be some of the best in the Middle East. Bourdain’s meal includes roasted5 tomatoes, eggs from a nearby farm, grilled6 zucchini* and dry yoghurt.* Jerusalem is just one place that we can see on Parts Unknown 2. In this series, Bourdain takes us away from the usual tourist spots and shows us places that most people never get to visit.

déjà vu 是法語「似曾相識」的意思,你也許不知道這個用詞, 可是你有時可能會有這種似曾相識的感覺。
純素主義者和素食者類似,不過他們的飲食限制要嚴格得多。 他們不食用也不飲用任何來自動物的食品。純素主義者不喝牛奶, 因為來源是乳牛;他們甚至不穿戴任何動物製成品。 有些人因為健康因素而成為純素主義者,純素主義者的身材一 般都相當纖瘦,也比較不容易有像癌症這樣的健康問題。其他人成 為純素主義者是因為關懷動物,他們認為傷害動物是殘忍的行為。 現在有愈來愈多人成為純素主義者。 測驗解答 : 1. ○ 2. × Fri
25
肉類、魚類和蛋含有多種重要的營養素,假如你成為純素主義 者,就得想辦法攝取這些營養的替代品,如果不這麼做,你的體重 就會太輕。 純素主義者從其他食物取得營養,他們通常喝豆漿、不喝牛奶, 他們吃像豆腐、穀類、玉米和堅果等食物。經過一段時間後,許多 純素主義者比較喜歡他們的新飲食,他們表示純素食物吃起來比肉 類還要美味。 吃純素並不容易,不過它讓許多人更健康也更快樂了。

go Dutch 意指分開付帳,在某些國家,分開付帳是有禮貌的 表現;在其他國家,當主人宴客時,若客人還表明要付帳的話,那 可就失禮了。
go Dutch 這個用詞有可能源自於荷蘭式的門,荷蘭門分成上 下兩個相等的部分,當你們 go Dutch 時,帳單就像那扇門一樣, 被分成兩等分。
當人們想到新加坡,就會聯想到乾淨的街道、雄偉且現代化的 摩天大樓,事實上,新加坡遠不只有這些。如果你前往新加坡,會 發現一些意想不到的驚喜。 有些人以為新加坡只有華人,但並非如此。新加坡也有很多來 自印度、馬來西亞和其他地方的人民。很少見到在一個這麼小的地 方,卻擁有如此多元的文化,這也意味著新加坡擁有各式各樣的食 物。如果想吃咖哩,就去小印度;若想吃肉骨茶,就到馬來西亞美 食街。 在新加坡購物也會是一個美好的體驗,烏節路是數一數二的購 物勝地,就算你不喜歡逛街,你也可以在這寬廣美麗的馬路上走走, 好好享受城市之美。
沒人知道 go Dutch 這個詞是否真的源自荷蘭式的門,不過當 你的朋友說 Let’s go Dutch. 時,請把錢包準備好吧。 65
