每日口說挑戰如果我們殺了所有的蚊子 (What If We Killed All the Mosquitoes?)

不知不覺在VT 的日子200天了^_^
再回去聽第一天的錄音，雖然不是從口說白痴變成口說高手，但真的有進步
很想謝謝大家，雖然沒辦法像unickname 或是箭頭哥或是Andy 還有其他高手們那麼好聽那麼厲害，但在這裡的每天好像都能有進步^______^
也謝謝很多人在聽過後願意給Mira 一點回饋，一點掌聲跟一點批評。
以前一直覺得沒有什麼事可以持之以恆（包括唸英文跟減肥），但一天沒來這裡就覺得充滿罪惡感，好像今天的自己沒有超越昨天的自己一樣。
謝謝大家，往後也請多多指教^_^

Mosquitoes have been around for a lot longer than people, millions of years, and have survived lots of predators and environmental changes. So that would be a lot of tough insects to kill, and a lot of bug deaths that wouldn’t affect humans at all.
蚊子存在於世界上已有數百萬年，歷史比人類還悠久，躲過了掠食者的侵襲、也度過了環境的變遷。所以要殺死所有的蚊子，就意謂著要殺掉一堆難纏的蟲子，而且很多蟲子即使死了對人類也不會有任何影響。

I'm so~~~~busy!

謝謝Kristi&大家~~
(應景地用蚊子音說OK~~XD

蚊子存在的時間比人類還久，幾百萬年以來蚊子一直都在，從掠食者和環境改變之中存活下來。所以如果要這麼做，不僅要殺掉一堆難纏的蟲子，還會殺死許多其實不會影響人類的物種。

Day 151
今天好多a lot of和lots of，雖然意思差不多，但是還是想唸得跟影片的用字一樣，然後一唸快就會一直講錯@_@

蚊子啊！！在我家和蟑螂是並列兩種必殺的生物。
特別是現在有小baby，看到蚊子真的是如臨大敵...

今天來講西班牙文的另一個be動詞的概念 "estar"

前天講的ser比較接近「是」，指常態的情況、個性、職業、國籍、本質外觀或是真理等等
例如：
Soy Hilario. (I am Hilario.)
Eres mi amigo. (You are my friend.)
Es de Taiwan. (He/She is from Taiwan.)

ps. 因為每個人稱都有專屬的動詞變化，所以主詞可以省略

今天要講的estar，比較接近「在」，是指短時間內的情(狀)況、現象或是說明地點等等
例如：
Estoy en Taiwan. (I am in Taiwan.)
¿Estás loco? (Are you crazy?) 如果跟女生說，就用 ¿Estás loca?
Está enferma. (She is sick.) 如果是男生就用 Está enfermo.

先舉例第一、第二、第三人稱的單數變化，怕太複雜都搞混了。

最後來應景一下：
Un mosquito está en mi casa. （A mosquito is in my house.）

Why don't we just kill all of the mosquitoes? Mosquitoes have been around for a lot longer than people, millions of years, and have survived lots of predators and environmental changes. So that would be a lot of tough insects to kill, and a lot of bug deaths that wouldn’t affect humans at all.

之前想帶電蚊拍出國，結果沒通過 X 光檢查，只好從行李箱裡翻出來...T.T
