0:32 Hey guys! You all doing OK? Speaking of(說到) OK, where does that word come from anyway? Is it a particular language or an abbreviation(/əˌbriː.viˈeɪ.ʃən/n.縮寫)? There are a lot of theories(theory理論/ˈθɪr.i/n.) discussing(discuss 討論v.) the origin(/ˈɔːr.ə.dʒɪn/n.起源) of this word, but one thing is clear, it is understood just about everywhere in the world. Be sure to check out the video if you want to know more about where this little word came from. OK then, let’s just get started with our sentence of the day, and then I’ll pass my knowledge to you about some special vocabulary in the sentence. So, here’s our sentence: Unfortunately, historical evidence(/ˈev.ə.dəns/n.證據) enabling(enable使能夠/ɪˈneɪ.bəl/v.) the origin of this expression to be finally and firmly established(/ɪˈstæb.lɪʃt/被建立), is hard to unearth(/ʌnˈɝːθ/v.發掘). (以下翻譯取自unickname)可惜的是，很難找得到強而有力的歷史證據可以證實這個表示法的確切出處。
+ pass sth on (phr.) 告訴 If he provided us with any information, no one passed it on to me.
1. evidence (n.) [ˋɛvədəns] 證據；證詞 = Anything that can help you prove that something is true, or vice versa(/ˌvaɪ.sə ˈvɝː.sə/adv.), not true. crime series : 犯罪系列影集
Ex: The CIA has found no evidence of a crime. Meaning, they were unable to find any signs that convinced(convince/kənˈvɪns/v.使信服) them an actual crime taking place(發生). Someone may accuse(v.指控) you of doing something wrong, but in most cases they will need some sort of evidence to back up(支持) their claims(n.聲明).
2. firmly (adv.) [ˋfɝmlɪ] 堅固地；穩固地 = strongly and tightly, not loose or weak
Ex: He shook my hand firmly and began the meeting shortly thereafter(/ˌðerˈæf.tɚ/adv.之後). In many Western cultures it’s very common to give a firm handshake(握手n.) when you greet(v.問候) someone. Make sure not to crush(v.壓扁) the other person’s hand, but giving a very weak handshake isn’t a good habit either, as it may make the other person feel like he or she is holding a dead fish in their hands.
3. unearth (v.) [ʌnˋɝθ] 發掘，掘出；發現 = To discover information after searching for a while. Another word you could use is “reveal”
Ex: After hours of digging in the dirt(n.土) for dinosaur fossils(n.化石), Dr. Grant and his team were finally able to unearth the secrets(n.秘密) once(adv.曾經) hidden from mankind(/mænˈkaɪnd/n.人類). Here, it’s literally(名符其實地,確實地) saying that they were digging in the earth, but it doesn’t necessarily involve hard labor(/ˈleɪ.bɚ/n.勞力). Any kind of search for information or a secret can lead to you unearthing it.
Well, learning the origin of a particular word can help you get a deeper understanding and you’re more likely to remember it as well. Not that any of you will ever struggle with remembering the word OK, but give it a try when learning other words. For example, the word ‘clue’ is derived(/dɪˈraɪv/v.取得) from the Greek word ‘clew’, meaning a ball of yarn(/jɑːrn/n.紗). In Greek mythology(/mɪˈθɑː.lə.dʒi/n.神話), Ariadne gave Theseus a ball of yarn to help him find his way out of the labyrinth from the Minotaur, which is the Greek monster(n.怪獸) And because of this the word ‘clew’ eventually became a term(n.專有名詞) that means to point the way. Cool, huh? Anyways, I actually hope you guys are doing more than just OK! So have a great week, and see you next time. Bye!
+ not A but B : 不是A而是B (強調的重點是but後的B，A只是用來鋪墊) A和B的詞類是要一致的 例如 not + 名詞， but + 名詞 What I want is not money but love. 我想要的不是錢而是愛。
+ derive from sth (phr.) 來自於，源自 The English word "olive" is derived from the Latin word "oliva". 英語的 olive 一詞源自拉丁語中的 oliva。

Pronunciation tips Historical Enabling Origin
evidence n. [ˋɛvədəns] /ˈev.ə.dəns/ 證據；證詞
Anything that can help you prove that something is true, or vice versa, not true.
Example: The CIA has found no evidence of a crime. CIA 目前尚未查出犯案證據。
Meaning, they were unable to find any signs that convinced them an actual crime taking place. Someone may accuse you of doing something wrong, but in most cases they will need some sort of evidence to back up their claims.
firmly adv. [ˋfɝmlɪ] /ˈfɝːm.li/ 堅固地；穩固地
strongly and tightly, not loose or weak
Example: He shook my hand firmly and began the meeting shortly thereafter. 他堅定的和我握手，緊接著開始了會議。
In many Western cultures it’s very common to give a firm handshake when you greet someone. Make sure not to crush the other person’s hand, but giving a very weak handshake isn’t a good habit either, as it may make the other person feel like he or she is holding a dead fish in their hands.
unearth v. [ʌnˋɝθ] /ʌnˈɝːθ/ 發掘，掘出；發現
To discover information after searching for a while. Another word you could use is “reveal”
Example: After hours of digging in the dirt for dinosaur fossils, Dr. Grant and his team were finally able to unearth the secrets once hidden from mankind. 經過好幾個小時在土中挖找恐龍化石，Grant 博士和他的團隊終於能夠發掘人類曾不得而知的秘密。
