How've you been? (我好久沒見到你了!你最近好嗎?) David: You mean "for ages" — "for" goes with a length of time. Good, though! You? (你是說 for ages(好久)啦——for 接的是一段時間長度。不過我很好!你呢?) Grace: Great! I've worked at the same company since three years now. (很好!我在同一間公司做 since 三年了。) David: "For three years." "Since" needs a starting point, like "since 2023."

(喔。for three years。然後我從畢業後就住在這座城市了(since I graduated)。) David: That one's perfect — "since I graduated" is a point in time. Nice. (這句完美——since I graduated 是一個時間點。讚。) Grace: Getting it. We haven't hung out for last month, right? (抓到感覺了。我們 for 上個月沒約出來了,對吧?) David: "Since last month." Last month is a point you're counting from. (要說 since last month。上個月是你開始算的那個點。) Grace: Ugh, so tricky. For a length, since a starting point? (唉,好難。長度用 for,起點用 since?) David: Exactly — "for" plus how long, "since" plus when it started. (沒錯——for 接多長,since 接從何時開始。) Grace: Got it. I've missed hanging out like this for way too long. (懂了。我已經好久好久沒像這樣出來聚了(for way too long)。) David: Ha, that one's right — you've totally got it now.

    🎯 這集你會學到: ・beat someone=打敗某人 ・win a match=贏得比賽 ・win against someone=贏過某人 中文「贏」一個字,英文卻要看你贏的是「東西」還是「人」。win 後面接比賽、獎、錢;beat 後面接對手、隊伍、紀錄。這篇用打網球的情境,一次搞懂 win 和 beat 的差別、為什麼「我贏了他」不能說 I won him,還有 beat 的過去式陷阱。附大量例句與台灣人最常犯的錯誤對照。 ▶ 完整逐字稿、重點單字、句型: https://mjenglishclass.com/daily-english/en-win-vs-beat ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🗣️ 情境對話 Dialogue 場景:Nina 和 Eric 週一碰面,聊起這週末 Nina 跟姐姐打網球的事。 Nina: I finally won my sister at tennis this weekend!

(喔。是說,我其實贏了她兩次。) Eric: "Beat her twice." The person you defeat always goes with "beat." (要說 beat her twice。被你打敗的「人」永遠配 beat。) Nina: Got it. The last set was so close, but I won it. (懂了。最後一盤超接近,但我贏下來了。) Eric: That one's right — you win a set, a game, a point. Those are things. (這句對——盤數、局、分這種「東西」就用 win。) Nina: Right. My cousin beated me last month, though. (對啦。不過我表哥上個月 beated 我。) Eric: Careful — it's just "beat." Beat, beat, beaten — no "-ed." (小心——過去式還是 beat。beat、beat、beaten,不加 -ed。) Nina: Ugh. So I beat her, she beat me — same word every time? (唉。所以我 beat 她、她 beat 我——每次都同一個字?) Eric: Exactly. And when you lose, you "lose to" someone — you lost to your cousin. (沒錯。輸的時候用 lose to 某人——你就是輸給(lose to)你表哥。) Nina: So I beat my sister but lost to my cousin. Rematch time. (所以我贏了姐姐、輸給表哥。該再賽一場了。) Eric: There you go — win the rematch, beat your cousin. You've got it. (就是這樣——贏下再賽(win the rematch)、打敗你表哥(beat)。你會了。) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 重點單字 beat someone/biːt/打敗某人(對手、被你贏的人) win a match/wɪn/贏得比賽(win 後接你贏到的東西) win against someone/wɪn əˈɡɛnst/贏過某人(win 要接「人」時得加 against) beat the record/biːt ðə ˈrɛkərd/打破紀錄 lose to someone/luːz/輸給某人 win the lottery/ˈlɑtəri/中樂透 a close game/kloʊs/勢均力敵的比賽(close 這裡唸 /kloʊs/) a rematch/ˈriːmætʃ/再賽、重賽 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💡 重點句型 Sentence Patterns win + 你贏得的「東西」 → a game / match / prize / medal / money / the lottery 例:We won the game.(我們贏了比賽) beat + 你打敗的「對象」 → a person / a team / a record 例:I beat my brother.(我贏了我弟) 贏「人」的兩種正確說法 → beat someone / win against someone 例:I beat him.(我贏了他) 不規則過去式 → win-won-won;beat-beat-beaten(過去式還是 beat) 例:I won yesterday.(我昨天贏了) 輸的說法 → lose to someone(輸給某人) 例:We lost to them.(我們輸給他們) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚦 下次這樣說 Next Time ① 贏的是「人」 ❌ I won him. ✅ I beat him. ② 過去式 ❌ She beated me. ✅ She beat me. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔓 解鎖無廣告+完整內容,支持 VIP 訂閱: Apple|https://apple.co/4rYiYa7 Spotify|https://sptfy.bio/mjenglish (點頁面 🔒 鎖頭即可訂閱解鎖) 📚 推薦教材:賴世雄獨門英文文法心法+圖表+練習 https://s.shopee.tw/AKO1JfgYp4 ☕ 請我們喝杯咖啡: https://p.ecpay.com.tw/E34AEEA ----以下為 SoundOn 動態廣告---- 旅遊優惠別錯過! 可樂旅遊17瘋搶日,每月限定3天搶限量優惠! 1號訂房折10% 7號票券折7% 17號機票折1.7% 熱愛自由行的你,肯定要每個月鎖定! https://sofm.pse.is/9hb9hw -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

    「I am student」少一個字就露餡?a/an/the 冠詞一次搞懂

    🎙️ 冠詞英文一次搞懂!a、an、the 怎麼用、怎麼唸不再亂加 🎯 這集你會學到: ・a university=唸 /juː/ 開頭是子音音,所 ・an hour=h 不發音 ・an engineer=職業前要冠詞,母音音用 an 中文沒有冠詞,所以台灣人說英文不是漏 a/an,就是亂加 the。這篇用 Kevin 出國念書的情境,一次搞懂 a、an、the 什麼時候用、怎麼選(看音不看字母),還有最少人注意的重點——the 有兩種唸法。附大量例句、音標與台灣人最常犯的錯誤對照,開口不再卡。 ▶ 完整逐字稿、重點單字、句型: https://mjenglishclass.com/daily-english/en-articles-a-an-the 💬 你講英文的時候,會不會常常忘記加 a/an/the,或加錯地方? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🗣️ 情境對話 Dialogue 場景:Kevin 剛錄取美國研究所,在咖啡店巧遇 Rachel,忍不住跟她分享這個好消息。 Kevin: Rachel, big news — I got into university in California! (Rachel,大消息——我錄取加州一間大學了!) Rachel: That's amazing! But heads up — it's "a university." It starts with a "you" sound, so it takes "a." (太棒了!不過提醒你一下——要說 a university。它開頭是「you」的音,所以配 a。) Kevin: Oh, "a university." Got it. So I'll finally be engineer! (喔,a university。懂了。這樣我終於要當工程師了!) Rachel: "An engineer." Job titles always need a or an — you can't drop it. (是 an engineer。職業稱呼前面一定要 a 或 an,不能省。) Kevin: Right. It took me hour just to fill out the forms. (對啦。光填那些表格就花了我一個小時。) Rachel: "An hour" — the "h" is silent, so it sounds like a vowel. (要說 an hour——h 不發音,聽起來是母音開頭。) Kevin: This is the reason I always mess up. Can you give me advice? (這就是我老是出錯的原因。你可以給我一點建議嗎?) Rachel: "A piece of advice." Advice can't take "a" on its own. (要說 a piece of advice。advice(建議)不能單獨配 a。) Kevin: Okay. Honestly, I just like the coffee — learning over a latte helps. (好。老實說我就是愛咖啡——邊喝拿鐵邊學比較有感。) Rachel: Careful — "I like coffee," no "the," if you mean coffee in general. (小心——如果你是指咖啡這種東西,要說 I like coffee,不加 the。) Kevin: Ah, so "the coffee" would mean this exact cup. This is the best lesson ever. (啊,所以 the coffee 是指「這一杯」。這是我上過最棒的一課了。) Rachel: Now you've got it — and you just said "the best" perfectly. (這就對了——而且你剛剛 the best 唸得超標準。) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 重點單字 a university/ə ˌjuːnɪˈvɜːrsɪti/唸 /juː/ 開頭是子音音,所以配 a 不是 an an hour/ən ˈaʊər/h 不發音、開頭是母音音,所以用 an an engineer/ən ˌɛndʒɪˈnɪr/職業前要冠詞,母音音用 an a piece of advice/ə piːs əv ədˈvaɪs/advice 不可數,要用「a piece of」才能算一個 make a decision/meɪk ə dɪˈsɪʒən/固定搭配,decision 前要 a once in a while/wʌns ɪn ə waɪl/偶爾(慣用語,固定用 a) the other day/ðiː ˈʌðər deɪ/前幾天(固定用 the;後接母音,the 唸 /ðiː/) on the whole/ɑn ðə hoʊl/整體來說(慣用語;後接子音,the 唸 /ðə/) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💡 重點句型 Sentence Patterns a / an:看「音」不看字母 → 子音音用 a、母音音用 an 例:a university /juː/(一所大學) the 的兩種唸法 → 後接子音音唸 /ðə/、後接母音音唸 /ðiː/(像「thee」) 例:the book /ðə/(那本書) 用 a / an:第一次提到、泛指「一個」單數可數 例:I need a pen.(我要一支筆) 用 the:講「雙方都知道的那個特定的」 例:Can you close the door?(把門關上好嗎) 零冠詞:複數泛指+不可數泛指 例:I like coffee.(我喜歡咖啡) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚦 下次這樣說 Next Time ① 介紹職業/身分 ❌ I am engineer. ✅ I am an engineer. ② 泛指喜好 ❌ I like the coffee. ✅ I like coffee. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔓 解鎖無廣告+完整內容,支持 VIP 訂閱: Apple|https://apple.co/4rYiYa7 Spotify|https://sptfy.bio/mjenglish (點頁面 🔒 鎖頭即可訂閱解鎖) 📚 推薦教材:賴世雄獨門英文文法心法+圖表+練習 https://s.shopee.tw/AKO1JfgYp4 ☕ 請我們喝杯咖啡: https://p.ecpay.com.tw/E34AEEA ----以下為 SoundOn 動態廣告---- 出國前最怕匯率一直漲?中國信託銀行挺你聰明換匯 設定匯率到價智慧通知,匯率相對低點不錯過 再領優惠券享美金最高減3分等優惠 立即設定:https://sofm.pse.is/9hf6kz 投資外幣如幣別轉換可能產生匯兌損失,應評估涉及自身情況審慎投資。 完整注意事項詳見網站資訊。 -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

    英文文法都對,講出來卻讓老外同事覺得很兇?中文直譯常把「你今天一定要」「這是錯的」變成命令句。這篇教你用Could you、hedging、when you get a chance把職場英文軟化得體,講清楚又不失禮貌,同事主管都更想合作。 ▶ 完整逐字稿、重點單字、句型: https://mjenglishclass.com/business-english/en-diplomatic-work-english 💬 你最近有沒有一句話講出口,才發現自己聽起來比想像中兇? 留言分享你的職場英文踩雷經驗,或是你最想學會軟化的一句話。 👇 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🗣️ 情境對話 Dialogue 場景:Amy 正要去找主管抱怨同事拖稿,David 在走廊把她攔下來,先幫她把要講的話練一遍。 Amy: I'm about to tell the manager "you must send the report today." He's three days late already. (我正要去跟主管講「你今天一定要把報告寄出來」,他已經遲了三天了。) David: Whoa — try "could you get this to me by end of day?" Same deadline, way less scary. (等一下——試試「could you get this to me by end of day?」(你今天下班前能給我嗎?)一樣是今天要,但沒那麼恐怖。) Amy: But it is his fault. Why do I have to be the one who sounds nice? (可是明明就是他的錯啊,憑什麼要我講話還要客氣?) David: You're not being nice, you're being tactful. Clear and calm gets better results than clear and angry. (你不是要客氣,是要有分寸(tactful)。冷靜清楚講重點,效果比兇巴巴講重點好太多。) Amy: Fine. What about his last report? I was going to say "this is wrong." (好啦。那他上次那份報告呢?我本來想說「this is wrong」(這是錯的)。) David: Soften it — "I think there might be a small issue here." Still honest, less like a slap. (軟化一下——「I think there might be a small issue here.」(我覺得這邊好像有點小問題。)一樣講清楚問題,只是沒那麼像巴掌打過去。) Amy: That feels so indirect. (這樣講感覺太拐彎抹角了。) David: It's not vague. You still name the exact problem right after — you're just easing into it. (不是含糊,你後面照樣會把問題講清楚,只是先把語氣放軟一點再進去講。) Amy: Okay, one more. I can't help with tomorrow's client call. I was going to say "no, I can't." (好啦最後一個。我明天沒辦法幫忙那通客戶電話,本來想直接說「no, I can't」(不行,我沒辦法)。) David: Try "I'd love to, but I've got a conflict — can we find another time?" Still a no, warmer. (試試「I'd love to, but I've got a conflict — can we find another time?」(我很想幫忙,但時間喬不過來,可以約別的時間嗎?)一樣是拒絕,但語氣暖多了。) Amy: Huh. That sounds more professional, not weaker. (咦,這樣講反而比較專業,不會顯得比較弱耶。) David: Exactly. Diplomatic doesn't mean unclear — it just means people actually want to work with you. (就是這樣。得體(diplomatic)不代表講不清楚,只是會讓大家更想跟你合作。) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📚 重點單字 diplomatic/ˌdɪp.ləˈmæt.ɪk/得體圓融——講話顧慮到對方感受,不會讓人下不了台 blunt/blʌnt/直白衝——講話太直接、沒有修飾,容易讓人覺得刺耳 tactful/ˈtækt.fəl/有分寸——懂得拿捏用詞,講重話也不會傷人 soften/ˈsɒf.ən/軟化——把太直接、太衝的說法改得比較委婉 tone down/təʊn daʊn/緩和、降低強度——把話講得沒那麼強硬 come across as/kʌm əˈkrɒs æz/給人……的印象——講出來的話讓對方感覺是什麼樣子 hedge / hedging/hedʒ/保留語氣——講話留一點空間,不把話說死 follow up/ˈfɒl.əʊ ʌp/追進度、後續跟進——事後禮貌地確認事情有沒有進展 pushback/ˈpʊʃ.bæk/反對意見——別人對你的想法或做法提出不同意見或抵制 by EOD/baɪ ˌiː.əʊˈdiː/今天下班前——end of day 的縮寫,職場常用來訂截止期限 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💡 重點句型 Sentence Patterns Could you…? → 把命令變成請求 例:Could you send me the file when you get a chance?(你方便的時候可以幫我把檔案寄過來嗎?) Would it be possible to…? → 更正式的委婉請求 例:Would it be possible to get this by tomorrow morning?(有沒有可能明天早上前給我呢?) I think there might be… → hedging,軟化指出問題 例:I think there might be a small issue with the numbers.(我覺得這些數字好像有點小問題。) …when you get a chance → 拿掉句子的急迫感 例:Could you send me the file when you get a chance?(你方便的時候可以幫我把檔案寄過來嗎?) I'd love to, but… → 婉拒但保持友善 例:I'd love to, but I've got a conflict that day.(我很想去,但那天時間喬不過來。) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚦 下次這樣說 Next Time ① 交辦任務時 ❌ You must send it today. ✅ Could you get this to me by end of day? ② 指出錯誤時 ❌ This is wrong. ✅ I think there might be a small issue here. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔓 解鎖無廣告+完整內容,支持 VIP 訂閱: Apple|https://apple.co/4rYiYa7 Spotify|https://sptfy.bio/mjenglish 點頁面 🔒 鎖頭即可訂閱解鎖) 📚 推薦教材:賴世雄獨門英文文法心法+圖表+練習 https://s.shopee.tw/AKO1JfgYp4 ☕ 請我們喝杯咖啡: https://p.ecpay.com.tw/E34AEEA ----以下為 SoundOn 動態廣告---- 出國前最怕匯率一直漲?中國信託銀行挺你聰明換匯 設定匯率到價智慧通知,匯率相對低點不錯過 再領優惠券享美金最高減3分等優惠 立即設定:https://sofm.pse.is/9fz5ct 投資外幣如幣別轉換可能產生匯兌損失,應評估涉及自身情況審慎投資。 完整注意事項詳見網站資訊。 -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
