eccentric0:13
影片例句：The atmosphere around Google, it's definitely very eccentric, but also very academic.
例句翻譯：在 Google 的氣氛確實很古怪，但也充滿學術氣息。

eccentric 是形容詞，就是「古怪、特別」的意思。有很多同義字：peculiar, queer, strange, weird, odd, bizarre，不過 eccentric 感覺不是一個很負面的字，會用來形容那種天才型的古怪。
E.g., His eccentric way of conduct confuses a lot of his colleagues.
他古怪的做人處事讓他的同事跟不上。

補充：eccentric 的發音要注意，因為有兩個 c 所以都要發出來 ec / cen / tric。

extremely2:08
影片例句：At Google, I'm extremely excited to start at work.
例句翻譯：在 Google，我每天開工時都超級興奮。

extremely 是個極端的程度形容詞，就是 very, really 的放大版。形容誇張的程度也可以用： incredibly, remarkably, utterly, immensely。
E.g., I'm extremely upset that Lucky peed on my bed.
Lucky 在我床上尿尿讓我超級不爽。

is an illustration of 2:45
影片例句：The fact that I'm not is an illustration of how much responsibility is given to us as interns across the board.
例句翻譯：我不是從底層開始就可證明當作 Google 實習生會被交付多麼多責任。

A is an illustration of B 就是 A 是 B 的證明或是示範，是在說明 A 跟 B 的關係。也可以說 A is a good example of B.
E.g., The way JR and Ray do VidTalk is a good illustration of how English should be teached: the fun way.
JR 跟 Ray 主持 VidTalk 就是在示範正確教英文的方式，就是用有趣的方式教學。

Googliness2:58
影片例句：And every intern that I've seen come on has just exuded Googliness.
例句翻譯：我看到的每個實習生都散發出 Google 的氣息。

Googliness 是一個自創的字，字尾加上 -ness 變成名詞。其他的例子有 lovely > loveliness, friendly > friendliness, lonely > loneliness。字尾加上 -er 也是變為名詞，是「做某件事的」人。

have in common3:35
影片例句：The one thing that all the interns definitely have in common is passion and motivation to get these things done.
例句翻譯：所有 Google 實習生的共同點就是把事情完成的熱情跟動力。

have in common 就是兩個人事物的共同點，常用的句型有 have a lot in common, have nothing in common, have anything in common。Common 這個字本身是普遍、共用的意思，所以會跟一些其他字慣用，比如說 common room, common mistake, common sense。
E.g., We have nothing in common so it's hard to small talk.
我們沒什麼共同點，所以不太容易聊起來。
