Today the story comes from Ukraine. 今天的新聞來自烏克蘭。 In a country called Ukraine, the leader has a team of helpers. These helpers have a very important job: to buy things the country needs, like food for brave soldiers. But some helpers did not follow the rules. They were not honest about how they used the money. When the leader found out, he knew he had to fix the problem. He said that being honest is the most important rule for his team. Now, everyone is working hard to make sure people who do important jobs can always be trusted. Now, let's go through the story sentence by sentence. 現在,讓我們一句一句地來讀這個故事。 In a country called Ukraine, the leader has a team of helpers. 在一個叫做烏克蘭的國家,領導人有一個幫手團隊。 These helpers have a very important job: to buy things the country needs, like food for brave soldiers. 這些幫手有一件非常重要的工作:購買國家需要的東西,像是給勇敢士兵的食物。 But some helpers did not follow the rules. 但是,有些幫手沒有遵守規則。 They were not honest about how they used the money. 他們對於如何使用金錢並不誠實。 When the leader found out, he knew he had to fix the problem. 當領導人發現時,他知道他必須解決這個問題。 He said that being honest is the most important rule for his team. 他說,誠實是他團隊最重要的規則。 Now, everyone is working hard to make sure people who do important jobs can always be trusted. 現在,大家都在努力確保擔任重要工作的人們能夠一直被信任。 Great job! Now it's Vocabulary Time! 做得好!現在是我們的單字時間! Our first word is 'leader'. L-E-A-D-E-R, leader. A leader is a person who guides or is in charge of a group. 中文就是「領導者」的意思。A synonym for leader is 'chief', and the opposite could be 'follower'. Let's make a sentence: The team leader helped everyone work together. 團隊的領導者幫助大家一起合作。 Next up, we have 'honest'. H-O-N-E-S-T, honest. Being honest means you always tell the truth and you don't cheat or steal. 也就是「誠實的」。 A word that means the same thing is 'truthful', and the opposite is 'dishonest'. For example: It is always best to be honest with your friends. 對朋友誠實永遠是最好的。 Our third word is 'rules'. R-U-L-E-S, rules. Rules are instructions that tell you what you are allowed to do and what you are not allowed to do. 意思就是「規則」。A synonym for rules is 'regulations', and an antonym could be 'chaos' or 'disorder'. Here’s a sentence: We must follow the rules when we play a game. 我們玩遊戲時必須遵守規則。 And our last word for today is 'trust'. T-R-U-S-T, trust. Trust is a strong belief that someone is good, honest, and reliable. 它的中文意思是「信任」。 A similar word is 'believe', and the opposite is 'distrust'. Let's use it in a sentence: My parents trust me to do my homework. 我的父母信任我會完成我的功課。 It's so important to be honest in everything we do. 在我們做的每一件事情上,保持誠實都非常重要。 When we are honest, people can trust us to do the right thing. 當我們誠實的時候,人們才能信任我們去做對的事情。
