每日口說挑戰阿公阿嬤有點煩？不過他們就是這麼可愛 (Grandparents)

難得可以好好的休假，要好好的來自彈自唱一首歌。（久久沒談，彈錯請忽略QQ)

一月底有一場馬拉松活動辦，最近每天都加班加班在加班，不過我決定了，做完這個專案，我就要離職了！因為真的好痛苦，連我最愛的英文都沒時間唸....
希望這個月可以趕快過去。

By the way 大家新年快樂??️??

Thanks, Ashley!
==> Before starting the discussion of today’s topic, I wanna tell you that from this {month on} , I will start verbally(adv.[ˋvɝb!ɪ]口頭地) replying to some of the comments from the previous week, that is to say, I will still type words to reply to some of them on the webpage, yet I will also talk about some of them in the show. So, feel free to express your thoughts so there is more interaction between us. Today, we’re talking about grandparents. I used to consider my grandmother boring when I was really little, since she is kind of serious. Additionally, she got such a strong accent([ˋæksɛnt]n.口音) that I could barely understand her. However, I change {my} mind when I got old enough to understand the real life stories she tells. Her stories always blow my mind away, just like the speaker’s grandfather in the video. Let’s take a look at what he said: Ah, I remember I used to hand-wash my laundry by the river, a man threatened to shoot me once, so I gave him all my clothes.

1. laundry [ˈlɔndri] (n.)待洗衣物
洗衣服 to do the laundry
洗碗 to do the dishes
dirty laundry 髒衣服 = 醜聞，不可吿人的秘密
*The principal is trying to desperately(adv.拼命地) to keep his dirty laundry from being aired in public.
+ air [ɛr] v.廣播；播送
-> This program will be aired on CBS.

2-1. threaten [ˈθrɛtən] (v.)威脅
*The loan shark(高利貸的人) threatens to hurt the moneylender’s family if he couldn’t pay up in 2 weeks.
+ pay up 付清
+ pay off 償清債務

2-2. threat [θrɛt] (n.)威脅
*While some consider the nuclear forces(核武) of North Korea remains an empty threat(虛張聲勢), some believe it is real crisis.

3-1. clothes [kloʊðz] (n.)衣服
*More and more companies are now manufacturing clothes wade out the recycle the plastic.
+ manufacture [͵mænjəˋfæktʃɚ] vt.（大量）製造，加工
-> The company manufactures cars.

3-2. cloth [klɔθ] (n.) 布料，布
一塊布a piece of cloth
*The magician spreads a thin piece of cloth flatted
across the table.
+ flat [flæt] v. 變平坦
The bank(堤岸n.) flatted off for the last ten miles.

Okay, that’s it for today. It’s always interesting to interact with grandparents, isn’t it? Although sometimes it can be frustrating(a.令人沮喪的) when they don’t get us, {they’re never tedious([ˋtidɪəs]a.無聊的)}. What do you think about spending time with grandparents? Do you enjoy it? Do you see the generation gap(代溝) as a problem? Anyhow, love is the universal language that you can always share with your grandparents. So just cherish(v.珍惜) the time you spend together.

☺Ah, I remember I used to hand-wash my laundry by the river, a man threatened to shoot me once, so I gave him all my clothes.
啊!我還記得很久以前我都會在河邊洗衣服，有一次碰到個男的威脅要開槍殺我，所以我只好把所有的衣服都給他了。
【心得】不懂這個邏輯，所以那位男子是想要把待洗的衣服搶來自己回去洗，還是要把洗好的衣服搶來自己回去曬？@@
