=================================
「すみません」だけじゃない「Excuse」の用法
=================================
「Excuse me?」は日本人にとってとても馴染のある表現ですが、この「Excuse」と言う言葉には「すみませ」以外にも実は色々な意味があり、広範囲で使われます。今回は、日常生活の中でもよく使われる「Excuse」を使った表現を4つご紹介したいと思います。
--------------------------------------------------
1) Excuse me
→「すみません」
--------------------------------------------------
「すみません」を意味するこのフレーズは、基本的に3つの状況で使われます。1つ目は他人に時間を尋ねたり、声をかけて注意を引きたい時、2つ目は会話の最中に申し訳ない気持ちを込めて話を遮る時、そして3つ目は相手の言ったことが聞き取れなかったり、理解できないためもう一度聞き返す時です。
✔相手から失礼なことや侮辱的なことを言われ、イラっとした時に「Excuse me?」と「me」の部分を強調して返答することで、「何だって?」「もう一回言ってみろ」を意味する。
<例文>
Excuse me, is there a bank around here?
(すみません。この辺に銀行はありますか?)
Excuse me, sorry to interrupt but you have a visitor.
(すみません、お話の最中に申し訳ございませんが、お客様がお見えです。)
Excuse me, I didn't catch that. Could you repeat that?
(すみません。聞き取れませんでした。もう一度言っていただけますか?)
Excuse me, what did you call me?
(何だって?私のことをなんて呼んだ?)
--------------------------------------------------
2) Excuse my _____.
→「〜をお許しください」
--------------------------------------------------
この表現は、下品な言葉遣いをした時や小さなミスをした時、マナー違反をした時や知識不足で補足説明を求める時などに使われます。例えば、出会ったばかりの人にひどい上司について話をする際、「Excuse my language but my supervisor is an asshole.(下品な言葉遣いで申し訳ないのですが、私の上司は本当に最低な人で)」と表現することで、汚い言葉を使ったことに対して許して欲しい気持ちを込めることができます。
✔「Excuse my French」と言う決まり文句があり「下品な言葉を使ってすみません」を意味する。
<例文>
Excuse my poor pronunciation.
(下手な発音をお許しください。)
Excuse my lack of knowledge but what does CPM stand for?
(知識不足ですみませんが、CPMは何の略ですか?)
Fuck! Sorry, excuse my French.
(“Fuck!”汚い言葉を使ってすみません。)
--------------------------------------------------
3) Excuse someone from
→「〜を免除される」
--------------------------------------------------
この表現は、本来ならば参加や出席をしなければならない行事から特別な理由で免除されることを意味し、正当な理由があり、且つ許可を得た上で免除される意味合いが含まれます。例えば、本来出張に行かなければならなかった同僚が、配偶者の入院で出張を免除されたと言いたい場合、「He was excused from his business trip because his wife’s sick.」という具合に使います。
また似たような表現で、「Excuse oneself from _____」があります。この表現は、周りの許可を得てその場から抜けたり、退席することを意味します。例えば、ジョンさんは顧客対応ためミーティングから退席したと言う場合、「John excused himself from the meeting to deal with a client.」と表現します。
✔誰かとプライベートで話をするため、周りの人に「席を外してもらえないでしょうか?」と聞く場合、「Would you excuse us for a moment?」と言うのが定番。
<例文>
He was excused from class because he was feeling under the weather.
(彼は具合が悪かったため、授業の退席が許されました。)
She excused herself from dinner to take care of an urgent matter.
(緊急事態があったため、彼女は夕食の席を外しました。)
Would you excuse us for a moment? I'd like to talk with Peter in private.
(席を外してもらえないでしょうか?ピーターさんと個人的に話したいことがあります。)
--------------------------------------------------
4) Excuse
→「言い訳」
--------------------------------------------------
日本人に比べアメリカ人は言い訳が多いと言われますが、会話の中で「言い訳」の意味としてExcuseを使っているシーンは実によく目にします。使い方の一例として、いつも言い訳をする友人にうんざりしていると表現する場合、「I’m tired of his excuses.」と言います。
✔「言い訳をする」は「Make an excuse」と表現する。
✔「No excuse」は「言い訳無用」や「言い訳にならない」を意味する。
<例文>
That just sounds like an excuse to me.
(それはただの言い訳にしか聞こえない。)
That's no excuse for being late.
(それは遅刻の理由として通用しません。)
He always makes excuses.
(彼はいつも言い訳をする。)

[專頁公告] 英文學習「生態系」更新
English Learning Ecosystem Update
As I began exploring Instagram, I struggled to find a way to deliver useful academic content. Instagram posts typically focus on images, short clips, and concise text, which are attention grabbing but not always entirely conducive to language learning. I looked over the posts of established Instagram English learning accounts, and experimented with vocabulary posts and even news posts for a couple of weeks. Not wanting to post just images, I thought about creating something new even with the rigid format of the platform.
當我開始研究怎麼用IG,我想盡了各種辦法,希望能提供大家一些實用的學術內容。 IG 的特色著重在圖片、短片以及簡潔的文字,這樣的方式雖然很容易引人注目,卻不全然有助於語言學習。我瀏覽了 IG 上英文教學網紅的貼文,並在這幾週嘗試發了一些學術單字與新聞相關的文章。我並不想只是發一些圖片,而思考著要如何在既有框架下創作一些新的東西。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
A tenet of using tech in education is to engage students with what they are familiar with, not give them an entirely new platform that is difficult to use. So, how could I create a new series of Instagram posts that is both educational and unique? I thought about my goal to disseminate academic English resources, and how I could leverage my experience as a curriculum writer and voice recording artist for public school textbooks.
一個使用科技進行教育的原則是用學生熟悉的方式與他們互動,而非用了全新的平台卻使他們難以學習。那麼,我應該如何創作獨特且具教育意義的一系列全新 IG 發文呢?我想到了我傳遞學術英文資源的目標,以及思考到該如何發揮身為教科書編輯者與音頻錄製者的經驗。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
So far, this is what I have at the moment. I will post Word of the Day (每日一詞), high frequency vocabulary words that you see in academic texts and sometimes on the news. These Tier 2 academic vocabulary words are not exclusive to a single domain and complement the theme-based approach I’ve taken with my mind-mapping vocabulary class. You can find other vocabulary learning methods here.
這是我目前所想到的內容:我會發布「每日一詞」,也就是學術文章或是新聞中有時出現的高頻字彙。這些Tier 2學術詞彙並不限於單個領域,更補充了我在心智圖詞彙攻略課程中採用的主題式學習法。你還可以在下面網站找到其他詞彙學習方法。
🎓 詞彙學習方法:http://bit.ly/2JGXKvK
In these posts, I added the pronunciation, collocation, and example sentences of each word for students. These words will be helpful to university-level students who often read academic texts and the news. Students can access them by simply clicking on the hashtag 學術英語單字.
在這些貼文中,我為學生提供了發音、搭配用法和例句。這些單字會對經常閱讀學術文章和新聞的大學程度學生有所幫助。學生只要點貼文上的#學術英語單字即可看到貼文。

★★★★★★★★★★★★
To help students use more precise and common academic phrases, I then added Academic Phrases (每日一句), set phrases that appear in both academic speech and writing. These phrases have varying functions from introducing a topic to comparing and contrasting ideas. There is a difference between speech and writing, so I picked words that could be used for both. If one is used only in a specific context, I will make note of it in the video recording. This series of posts will help students with language output, and can be found under the following hashtag 學術英語片語.
為了幫助學生使用更精準、更道地的常見學術用語,我們接著會進入「每日一句」,也就是在學術演說與寫作中常見的用語。這些片語具有不同的功能,範圍涵蓋介紹主題到比較、對比想法等等。而演講和寫作之間也有不同,所以我選擇了都可以使用的片語。如果只能在特定情況下使用,我會在影片中特別說明。該系列文章將會幫助學生提高語言輸出能力,可以在 # 學術英語片語找到。

★★★★★★★★★★★★
Last, I will follow up with an abridged version of breaking news (時事英文) with high frequency collocations and audio recordings. This will provide students with the input of not only individual words, but how to use them in output (speech and writing) with context. While all these news posts might seem independent at first, I will eventually link and organize them by theme when there are enough posts. Along with my news class, these extra posts will help students stay aware of current events, acquire set phrases used in journalism, and develop critical thinking. These posts can currently be found under the hashtag EEL時事英文.
最後,我們會跟進精簡版的「時事英文」,其中包含高頻搭配詞與錄音資料。這些內容不僅可以提供你們輸入單字,而且可以幫助你們知道如何搭配情境輸出,再將這些內容使用在口說與寫作中。這些貼文一開始雖然看似獨立,當素材足夠後我會再將他們進行連結與整理。這些貼文和我的新聞課程將幫助學生維持對時事的敏銳度,掌握新聞中使用的固定用法,並養成批判性思維。這些貼文目前可以在 # EEL時事英文。

There is a lot more I want to do to create an ecosystem of free academic English learning materials. I will continue modifying our post format to meet your needs, but these are my plans for Instagram thus far. Join us on our journey to make bilingual academic English resources more readily available to all! Let’s continue to learn and grow together!
建立免費的學術英文學習系統是件大工程,我會持續修改我們發文的格式以符合你們的需求與習慣,這些只是我目前 IG 學術英語學習計畫的一部分。加入我們的旅程來讓雙語的學術英文資源更加普及!讓我們一起學習與成長!

《Forever.Young》The first photo album of Chris Wu.
Forever- Right now, momentary forever!
Young- It’s a word’s Chinese pronunciation of my Chinese name.
The album records myself.
The moment, right now, at age 30.
Although I never thought I would release a photo album.
But I’m grateful for having such a great photography team.
Different from general photography mode.
Different emotions are brewed in different scenes and situations.
And so many sets of outfits and hairstyles.
Present photos are so dramatic.
Finally coming out! How hard it is…

So please forgive me if theres any weird accent or pronunciation since english is not my first language ._.
Song: I'll Never Love Again
Artist: Lady Gaga
Covered by: YauMan
Re-arranged by Eric Tam
Recorded & Produced by Eric Tam
Lyrics:
Wish I could, I could've said goodbye
I would've said what I wanted to
Maybe even cried for you
If I knew it would be the last time
I would've broke my heart in two
Tryin' to save a part of you
Don't wanna feel another touch
Don't wanna start another fire
Don't wanna know another kiss
No other name falling off my lips
Don't wanna give my heart away
To another stranger
Or let another day begin
Won't even let the sunlight in
No, I'll never love
I don't wanna know this feeling
Unless it's you and me
I don't wanna waste a moment, ooh
And I don't wanna give somebody else the better part of me
I would rather wait for you, ooh
Don't wanna feel another touch
Don't wanna start another fire
Don't wanna know another kiss
Baby, unless they are your lips
Don't wanna give my heart away
To another stranger
Or let another day begin
Won't even let the sunlight in
No I'll never love again
Love again
Oh, I'll never love again
Oh, I'll never love again

pronunciation of moment 在 Lindie Botes Youtube 的精選貼文
TRANSLATION:
Hello. My name is Lin Mei Han. That's my Chinese name. English is Lindie. I am South African and I am a university student, I study Graphic design, but my hobby is foreign languages. So I also study Chinese ..for..one year? I don't now. But Chinese its very difficult,my pronunciation is really bad. But I have a lot of Chinese friends, so if they can't speak English (meaning those who can't), I want to (be able to) speak Chinese to them. I also am an English teacher, and my students are all Chinese. When I teach them English, they can also teach me Chinese. If I have money, I want to go to China to study Mandarin and Cantonese. Cantonese is really difficult! But it's my hobby, I really like studying. In South Africa there are lots of Chinese people. I have a dream and that is to (be able to) speak Chinese and make chinese friends..ah, I don't know.. I want to.. I don't know. For this video I didn't prepare (anything), I am just speaking (as I go along). Friends, please help me! Thanks, bye-bye!
^What I wanted to say up there but didn't have time to look in a dictionary or something, was that I want to be able to tell Chinese people more about my country and build better relationships with the nation. I also want to share the Good News with them and be a light for the world through using my languages to honor the Lord. But I don't know how to say that yet, haha!
你好!谢谢看了~Thanks for watching and I appreciate all help! 请帮助我学中文啊~~I didn't even look up a single word before making this video and have been out of practice for a while, but then this is an honest representation of my level of Mandarin at the moment. 不好得。。哈哈哈
