現在進行式

Hi, there, everybody. Today, we're doing a general class on having an argument, giving

嗨，大家好，今天我們要上一堂爭辯以及意見給予的基礎課程

動名詞

an opinion. Okay? Useful words for giving opinions, agreeing, disagreeing. This is something

一些給予意見、表達同意與不同意時實用的詞彙

基礎數量詞

you have to do in so many walks of life, in so many situations, whether it's with your

這也會是你一生當中必須使用到的字彙，在許多情況下，不管是與你的

girlfriend, boyfriend, wife, whether it's with your boss, your mom, your dad. Many times,

女朋友、男朋友、妻子又或是老闆、母親、父親，許多時候

we find ourselves making a point, saying something, having something that is slightly different

我們都在試著闡明自己的觀點、表達些什麼，讓自己的觀點

與對方能有些許的不同，對吧？這就是生活的一部分

We're going to start with giving opinions. Now, we might start with an adverb like "personally".

我們現在要從意見的給予開始說起，現在，讓我們從動詞開始，例如：個人地

Okay? Or "frankly". So "person" -- you can see the word "person". When we say "personally",

或者是「坦白地」，所以「個人」，你可以看到這個字「個人」當我們說「個人地」時

it's about this person; it's about me. "Me, I think this." "Personally, I would say that

代表著這個人，也就是我，「我，是這樣想的」，「我個人，我會這麼說」

Now, let's spend today talking about the issue of whether you should give money to the homeless

現在，今天的主題就以探討是否該金援無家可歸的人為討論題目

man. "Personally, I think lots of people give money to them." Or, "Personally, I think they

「我個人，認為有很多人給予他們金援」，或者，「我個人，認為他們需要金援」

need the money." Or, "Frankly" -- this means "honestly". "Frankly, I think charity starts

又或者，「坦白說，我認為慈善應從自身做起」

at home." That's a phrase that means, "If I'm going to be kind, I need to be kind to

句中的詞彙代表著「在我幫助他人之前，我必須先善待自己」

me." "Frankly, I don't want to give them any money." Okay?

「坦白說，我不想給予他們金援」

Now, what I've done here is I've marked which ones are good to use in a work situation and

現在，我標記的句子是適用於工作上的

which ones are more informal. So where I have marked, this is good to use at work. "Personally",

同時也是比較正式的，所以我標記的句子是工作場合中非常適用的，「個人地」

"I'd say that". But "I reckon" and "if you ask me", these are more casual ways of speaking.

「我會這麼說」，但是「我認為」和「依我說」，這些說法是比較不正式的

"If you ask me, I think the bloke's taking the piss, mate." Okay? "If you ask me, I think

「依我看，我認為那傢伙是在嘲弄耶，兄弟」「依我說，我認為那傢伙是在嘲弄耶」

the bloke's taking the piss." He's having a laugh. Okay? "I reckon he really needs some

他是在嘲笑，「我認為他是真的需要錢」

coins." Okay? So this is the one you can use at work. "I'd say that you have to think about

所以這是在工作場合比較適用的句子，「我覺得你應該要考慮一下

it and balance the options up." I don't know.

也要在你的決定中取得平衡」，我也不知道

What do you think? Have a go now. Personally, I think that -- go on. Give me a sentence.

你怎麼想呢？試試看，我個人，我認為...繼續，給我一個完整的句子

Now, you've presented your first opinion, and someone is agreeing with you. Let's practice

現在你已經表明的自己的第一個觀點，也有人同意你的看法了，現在我們來練習

agreeing with someone, okay? "Definitely! I mean, it's so cold in London. You should

要怎麼表達同意的看法，「當然，倫敦真的很冷

give some money to them." Okay? "Definite." "Definite" means certain. Okay? It's the same

你應該要金援他們」，「當然」，「當然」代表確定之意

as "certainly". "Certainly" would be very -- too formal, though." Okay? "Definitely.

就等同於「無疑地」，但這個辭彙就太過於正式了

You're right." Or if you like what they're saying, you agree, you could say, "I think

「當然，你說得沒錯」，或者如果你要表達你同意他們的看法，你可以說

so, too. I mean, it must be a difficult life." Yeah? These are all phrases you could use

我也是這麼想的，日子一定過得非常辛苦」，這些都是你在工作場合中

in a work situation. Okay? All of these are good for work. They're not informal ones.

會看到的辭彙，這些都非常適用於工作中，這些都屬正式用語

"I think so, too. I mean, it's really cold at the moment." "You're right. I mean, imagine

「我也是這麼想的，我認為他們現在真的非常需要金援」，「你說的沒錯

not having a home or somewhere to go to the bathroom." "That's a good point. I agree with

想像一下我們現在無家可歸甚至沒有地方可以洗澡」，「你說的很有道理

you." Okay? "I agree. It's really sad that they're living under a bridge." Okay? So these

我同意你的看法」，「我同意，他們只能住在橋下真的非常可憐」

are all ways of agreeing. "Definitely. You're right. That's a good point."

這些都是表達同意的說法，「當然，你說的沒錯，你說的很有道理」

Giving opinions, I could say "personally, frankly, if you ask me". These are my informal

給予意見時，我會說「個人地、坦白地、依我說」，這些都屬非正式用語

ones. These are my formal ones. Formal. Good for work. Good for the pub. Great.

這些屬正式用語，可用於工作，可用於酒吧的正式用語，太棒了

Now, let's disagree. Let's disagree with Mother. "Yes, Mom. But they don't have any money to

現在，讓我們來表達不同意，假設我們反對媽媽的看法，「沒錯，媽媽

spend on a sandwich." Okay? So I'm disagreeing. I think something different to Mom. "You see,

但他們沒有錢可以買三明治」，我正在表達不同意的看法，我的想法與媽媽不同

I don't agree, Mom. I think it's nice to be generous." Or you could say, "I don't know

「聽我說，我不同意，媽媽，我認為慷慨是件很棒的事」，或者你可以說「我不知道耶」

about that." Okay? Listen to the pronunciation. "I don't know about that." This is how it's

注意聽發音，「我不知道耶」，這個句子是這樣拚的

spelled, "I don't know", and we say, "I dunno about that." Okay?

「我不知道」，我們會這樣說「我不知道耶」

"Hmm. I'm not sure about that. I'm not certain." It's polite. We're disagreeing. We know that

「嗯，我不太確定耶，我不太有把握」，這樣子是禮貌的說法，表達了我們的不同意

we disagree, but we're polite, so we say, "I'm not sure. I think maybe it's a nice idea

我們都知道我們是不贊成的，但同時也必須有禮貌，所以我們說，「我不太確定，給他們

to give them 10p." Or "I'm not sure about that. I'm not sure that I like that idea."

10磅好了」，或者「我不太確定，我不太確定我同意這個看法」

Okay? You're still disagreeing. It's an English, English way of talking. We're very polite,

代表你依然不同意，這是英語，英語的說話方式，我們是非常有禮貌的人

yeah? Sometimes, anyway. Not the drivers.

"I don't go along with you." Okay? If I go along with my friend to the beach, I go along

「我不贊成你的說法」，如果我跟我的朋友一起去海邊，就代表我同意他們的想法

with them. But if I don't go along, no. I think something different. So, "No. I don't

但如果我不跟他們一起去的話，代表我的想法跟他們不一樣

go along with you on that. I think blah, blah, blah, blah, blah."

所以「不，我不同意你的看法，我認為...............」

"That's a good point, a good argument, but blah, blah, blah, blah, blah." "Surely you

「這想法很棒，是一個很好的論點，但是.............」

can't give all your money to them because then, you would be like them." Okay? "Surely",

「當然你不能把你所有的錢都給他們，不然你就會變得跟他們一樣了」

「當然」代表你正在強調的語氣

Now, what do we do once we've given our opinion? We give opinion; we give evidence; we give

在給予意見後接著下一步是什麼呢？我們給予意見、給予證明，我們給予事實

facts. "Yes, but in winter, it's minus five degrees Celsius. It's very inhospitable. It's

「沒錯，冬天時，氣溫為攝氏零下負5度，非常寒冷

a very difficult place to live on the street." And we could exaggerate the rule of three.

對於流浪街頭來說會非常辛苦」，我們可以誇大這三個原則

So if I disagree with giving money to a homeless person, I could say that they have somewhere

所以假如我們不同意金援無家可歸的人們，那麼我可以說些自己的觀點，例如他們還是有地方可以居住的

to live; they're funding a drink problem; and I don't have any money to give them anyway.

他們有酗酒問題，加上我也沒有錢可以給他們

Or if I'm doing it the other way around, I could say -- rule of three, so I give three

或者我可以使用另一種說法，我可以說，遵循這三個原則，所以我會給予三個觀點

points -- "Imagine if you were like them. Wouldn't life be so difficult?" Or, "It's

「想像你自己跟他們一樣，生活一定很艱辛吧？」或者

so cold at night, and no one talks to you. You have nowhere to go." Have I made any sense?

「夜晚這麼寒冷，沒有人想跟你交談，你也沒地方可去」，我這樣說是否合理呢？

我希望是非常合理的，親愛的觀眾們

Look. We've looked at giving an opinion. We used words like "personally", "I would say

我們探討了意見的給予，我們使用了「個人地」這個辭彙，「我會這麼說」

that". Look. This is short for "I would say that". "If you asked me, I would say that."

看看，這個是縮寫，「依我說，我可能會這麼覺得」

It's a polite phrase. Again, "I would say that."

這是個有禮貌的片語，再一次，「我會這麼說」

We've looked at agreeing. We've said "definitely". "You're right. That's a good point. I agree

我們也探討了同意的說法，我們提到「當然」，「沒錯，你說的沒錯，你說的很有道理，我同意你的看法」

with you." Okay? You make these little noises, these sounds, and then you make an argument.

你可以藉由一些辭彙，接著再提出論點

This is just the start. The start, and then you carry on to give an opinion and reasons.

這只是開頭而已，說完之後，便開始給予建議和贊同或不贊同的理由

And with the disagreeing, we've had, "Yes but -- reason". "I don't agree because --." Okay?

而對於不同意的狀況下，我們說過「沒錯，但...接著是不同意的理由」，「我不同意，因為...」

Becoming more fluent in English is all about increasing the amount of time you spend talking

講出流利的英語不二法門，不外乎就是增加說英語、聽英語的時間

and listening. Don't just give short answers. Give long answers. So right now, we're thinking

別只是給予簡短的答案，試著說出長一點的句子，所以現在我們說的是金援無家可歸的人們

about giving money to the homeless people. Give me a sentence with "definitely", with

agreeing with giving money. "Definitely" -- and then disagree." Okay? You can do that on your

表達你同意金援他們，使用「當然」造句

而不同意，你可以自己練習看看

So your homework, you're going to do an agree; you're going to do a disagree. And then, you're

所以你的回家作業就是各造一句同意與不同意的句子
