嗨,我是吉娜(Gina),我是一位英文老師,我的網站是吉娜英格。這個片語課程是我規劃,由外師Kimberly撰寫,我們不斷討論口語如何表達,例句中盡量有延伸句,這樣才會知道下一話英文怎麼說。每一個片語還有一個簡單的對話,可以學習片語在口說中的應用。
片語是組成語言很重要的部分,不會使用片語,很多你想說的話會表達不出來。 我個人覺得比起背單字學文法,片語要花更多的心思學習,因為很多片語不是字面意思,重點是,學了好像也用不太出來。一般教材的例句,常以文法為思考方式去撰寫,必較不適用於口說。
這是影片課程,每一個例句段落或對話外師會朗讀三遍,你有空就播放影片,輕鬆重複聆聽與跟讀,只要有耐心操作一陣子,你會發現學習片語竟然可以這麼容易!另外附有文字資料,內有中文翻譯。我們的課程放在Udemy的學習平台上,在這裡你可以提問片語課程的問題,我們會幫你解答,你不是只有購買課程,還有老師可以問喔!

[美國文化觀察]
川普前幾天說, 以後的移民要在移民美國時, 就要會說英文. 經濟學人這篇文章講的挺好: 其實移民移居美國後, 早晚都會說英文的.
在我身上其實也應證了這說法. 旅居美國十幾年, 雖然平常有跟此地的台灣同胞保持互動, 但因為身處在美語環境, 也為了生存下去, 所以我漸漸地習慣說英文, 聽英文歌, 看美國電視, 看原文書. 我也很清楚地意識到, 自己的母語(中文)能力在退化中. 所以我前幾年開始接英翻中的case, 而兩年前也開始藉著寫中文個股分析與開部落格來彌補這問題. 很多時候不是我故意在秀英文, 而是我真的不知道該用甚麼中文字來表達意思了, 或是我覺得用英文能夠更傳神地表達我的想法.
"Rather than refusing to learn English, today’s immigrants actually abandon their first language much more readily than previous generations. German, the language spoken by the president’s ancestors, is a case in point. Germans arrived in America in big waves in the middle of the 19th century. Generations later, they were still speaking German at home; a small number were even monolingual in German despite being born in America. Only with America’s entry into the first world war did German-speakers drop their suddenly unpopular language.
Today the typical pattern is that the arriving generation speaks little English, or learns it imperfectly; the first children born in America are bilingual, but English-dominant, and their children hardly speak the heritage language. This is as true of Hispanics as it is of speakers of smaller languages—and all without a lecture from the White House."
以下是全文:
DONALD TRUMP’s young administration is adept at one particular manoeuvre. Whenever the president is having a terrible time in the press, for some embarrassing statement, interview or imbroglio, the White House announces a far-reaching policy designed to stoke up his nationalist base while infuriating his opponents. In February it was the proposed ban on visitors from seven mainly Muslim countries. Last month it was the announcement on Twitter that he would not let transgender soldiers serve in the military.
In each case, the new policy tends to hurt people who can be portrayed as threatening outsiders to ordinary Americans who work hard and pay their taxes. Yesterday’s announcement to back a months-old plan to overhaul America’s immigration rules falls in the same category. If implemented, it would reward applicants with sought-after job skills who already speak English, at the expense of low-skilled workers without language skills.
This may seem perfectly sensible: after all, skilled immigrants are a good thing. But as an ongoing shortage of farm workers in California shows, unskilled immigrants are just as crucial. Equally, it is a good thing if immigrants speak English. But they need not speak it before arrival: as it is impossible to participate fully in American life without speaking English, the incentive to learn it quickly is overwhelming.
The administration’s emphasis on English skills therefore harks back to an old myth that the linguistic make-up of America, which has been an English-dominant country for a long time, is changing: that the status of English is somehow threatened, especially by Spanish, but more generally by the notion that English is no longer needed in the economy.
The myth goes something like this: today’s immigrants want to come to America to isolate themselves into communities that do not speak English. American policy tacitly encourages this by not being tough enough in requiring English. In the past, immigrants happily learned English quickly; “my grandpa came here from the old country but he refused to speak his old language; he insisted on getting by in his broken English until he was fluent.” But today’s immigrants no longer do so, as multiculturalism has replaced the melting pot.
All of this is wrong. America began as a thin band of English colonies clinging to the eastern coast, vastly outnumbered by speakers of other languages. The foreign-born percentage of the population peaked not last year—the administration likes to talk of “unprecedented” numbers—but in 1890, when the share of foreign-born residents was at an all-time high of 14.8%. This proportion has risen again after declining in the mid-20th century (it stood at 12.9% in the 2010 census). America today has multilingual big cities with their voting instructions in Korean, Chinese and Russian.
Historically, this is the norm rather than the exception: the years from 1925 to 1965, when immigration was almost completely cut off, were unusual. But those born from the 1940s to the 1960s became used to the low numbers of foreign-born residents, regarding this state as normal. That in turn supported a belief that America has always naturally belonged completely to English.
For most of its history, America was precisely the “polyglot boardinghouse” Teddy Roosevelt once worried it would become. That history has turned out very well not just for America, but for English—the most successful language in the history of the world. Along with American power, English has spread around the globe. At home, wave after wave after wave of immigrants to America have not only learned English but forgotten the languages their parents brought with them.
Rather than refusing to learn English, today’s immigrants actually abandon their first language much more readily than previous generations. German, the language spoken by the president’s ancestors, is a case in point. Germans arrived in America in big waves in the middle of the 19th century. Generations later, they were still speaking German at home; a small number were even monolingual in German despite being born in America. Only with America’s entry into the first world war did German-speakers drop their suddenly unpopular language.
Today the typical pattern is that the arriving generation speaks little English, or learns it imperfectly; the first children born in America are bilingual, but English-dominant, and their children hardly speak the heritage language. This is as true of Hispanics as it is of speakers of smaller languages—and all without a lecture from the White House.
once in a while中文意思 在 陶傑 Facebook 的精選貼文
一翻譯,意思就失落了。讀許多世界文學的英文譯本,許多譯者在前言都會解釋:例如,普希金的詩,在俄文中,原來有一股俄文才體現出來的磅礡,一經英譯,原意多少就失落了。不是譯者筆拙,而是兩種語文,畢竟如兩個人的性格,要把他們匹配在一起,無論怎樣水乳交融,總有些字眼傳遞的感覺,是英文無法表達的。
Lost in Translation,是一個翻譯家無法訴說的遺憾。原文含蓄百轉千迴,話中有話,意外別有洞天,他十分清楚,但翻譯的搜索枯腸,確實找不到心心相印的字眼。此中有真意,欲說已無言,翻譯家常常有這樣的痛苦,不是不精通外文,而是翻譯時多方尋覓還是無法搭得上電線。
例如:中文一句:「捨不得啊」,怎樣英譯呢? Cannot afford?太冰硬了。 Miss it very much?也不是這個意思。中文的「依依不捨」,一硬譯成英文,原文的那股纏綿繾綣的意思就失落了,這就叫 Lost in translation。
還有,從前的中國少女,向男人撒嬌,一跺腳,喜歡說:「我不依你」。「我不依你」,有千般的嗲氣,萬分的嫵媚,在輕罵之中,帶有像絲一樣的溫情,不可能英譯,這是語文的一種奇特的意態,再高手的大師,在外文也找不到一項言詞的配混。
還是英文和法文之間比較易溝通。大量的法語詞彙,直接入侵英文,像 Deja-vu,乾脆用法文原文入英,市場不干預 Laissez-faire,法文最先發明,今天已無國界。連開演唱會,最後一句 Encore,也必定由千萬歌迷狂呼高喊才有地動山搖的震撼,用英語叫 Again,或者 Once more,不行,這就叫 Lost in Translation。
人世間的溝通,常有百詞莫辯的時候。一個詞彙的精緻,一碟小菜的美味,還有一個女人的溫柔,該怎樣來傳遞而表達呢?花能解語,但語不可詮花,一切的美感都凝聚在舌尖, Lost in Translation,是一種酥在骨子裡的痛苦。惟有經歷過這樣的折磨,才明白這世界,不止翻譯是徒勞,有時溝通也是白費,真情幻意的妙諦,盡在意會之中。

Original text by Ernest Hemingway:
“You better be fearless and confident yourself, old man,” he said. “You’re holding him again but you cannot get line. But soon he has to circle.”
The old man held him with his left hand and his shoulders now and stooped down and scooped up water in his right hand to get the crushed dolphin flesh off of his face. He was afraid that it might nauseate him and he would vomit and lose his strength. When his face was cleaned he washed his right hand in the water over the side and then let it stay in the salt water while he watched the first light come before the sunrise. He’s headed almost east, he thought. That means he is tired and going with the current. Soon he will have to circle. Then our true work begins.
After he judged that his right hand had been in the water long enough he took it out and looked at it.
“It is not bad,” he said. “And pain does not matter to a man.”
He took hold of the line carefully so that it did not fit into any of the fresh line cuts and shifted his weight so that he could put his left hand into the sea on the other side of the skiff.
“You did not do so badly for something worthless,” he said to his left hand. “But there was a moment when I could not find you.”
張愛玲譯:
「老頭子,你還是顧你自己吧,你也得勇敢,有自信心,」他說。「你沒讓他掙脫,但是你收不回釣絲來。但是他不久就得要轉圈子了。」
老人現在用他的左手和肩膀來拉住他,他彎下腰來用右手掬起水來,洗掉他臉上糊著的稀爛的鯕鰍肉。他怕那腥氣會使他作嘔,他一嘔吐,就沒力氣了。他臉洗乾淨了,又把右手伸在船邊的水裏洗了洗,然後就讓它泡在那鹽水裏,同時他注視著日出前天剛剛亮起來的情景。他是差不多朝東走,他想。可見魚是疲倦了,跟著潮流走。不久他就得轉圈子了。然後我們真正的工作就開始了。
他認為他的右手泡在水裏時間夠長了,就把它拿出來,朝它看看。
「不壞,」他說。「疼痛是不礙事的,並不傷人。」
他小心地握住那釣絲,使它不至於嵌進新割破的地方,他向另一邊倚著,使他可以在船那一邊把左手插到水裏去。
「你這無用的東西,這次成績倒還不錯,」他對他的左手說。「但是起初有那麼一會子我找不到你。」
藍婷譯:
「你還是自己勇敢一些,對自己要充滿信心才是、老頭。」他對自己說:「你現在只能握住繩子,可是你還不能收回繩子。相信他很快就會繞圈子了。」
老人現在用左手和肩膀撐住繩子,彎下腰用右手掬起水來,洗掉臉上糊成一團的肉渣,他很怕那腥味會使自己作嘔,只要一嘔吐,就會沒力氣了。他把臉洗乾淨,又把右手伸到船邊的水裏洗一洗,然後就讓他泡在鹽水裏,並注視著太陽升起之前的第一道曙光,魚幾乎是朝東方前進,他想,這表示牠已經很疲倦了,所以只好順著海流前進。相信等一會牠就會開始轉圈子,到那時候我們便要一決勝負了。
他認為他的右手在水裡泡得夠久了,於是便把他拿回來瞧一瞧。
「還不算壞嘛!」他說:「疼痛並不礙事,也算不了甚麼。」
他小心地握住繩子,使它不致於又磨擦新割破的地方,然後,把繩子向另一邊轉移一下,以便左手可以在船的另一邊放進海水裏面。
「你這沒用的傢伙,你還不算太差勁!」他對著自己的左手說:「不過有一陣子我差點找不到你。」
楊照譯:
「你自己最好甚麼都不怕,充滿自信,老傢伙,」他說:「你又掌握住他了,不過你沒辦法把線拉回來。不過很快地,他得繞圈圈。」
老人用左手和肩膀掌握那魚,彎下身舀水在右手,把臉上黏著的海豚魚肉洗掉。他擔心魚肉讓他噁心,一旦吐了會失去力量。臉乾淨了,他將右手伸出船沿進到水裡,然後讓手留在鹹水裡,看著太陽升起前最早的光線出現。他幾乎是朝東了,他想。這意味著他累了,所以順著洋流游。很快地他就得繞圈圈了。那樣真正的活兒就開始了。
他判斷右手在水中夠久了,他把手拿出來,盯著手看。
「還不壞,」他說:「疼痛對一個男人來說不算一回事。」
他小心地握住釣線,避免碰到新割的傷口,然後移動重心,以便能夠將左手從小船的另一邊放進海中。
「你這次還算蠻有用的,」他對左手說:「但有一陣子我找不到你。」
