Um, this piece of wood W 00 d is the exact same pronunciation as a modal verb.

嗯，這塊木頭W 00 d和情態動詞的發音完全一樣。

W o U l d.

W o U l d.

So it's very confusing because we want to say, world, what would you like to play baseball with me?

所以這是非常混亂的，因為我們想說，世界，你想和我一起打棒球嗎？

But actually, the pronunciation is the same as this would.

但其實，讀音和這個會是一樣的。

樹木是驚人的。

And you're gonna learn English and about trees in the same lesson.

而且你會在同一節課上學習英語和樹的知識。

The value of this lesson.

本課的價值。

It's just outrageous.

真是太離譜了。

Really, when you think about it.

真的，你想想看。

So, um let's learn English with some trees.

所以，嗯，讓我們用一些樹來學習英語。

One tree badly drawn.

一棵樹不好畫。

I didn't draw this.

這不是我畫的

I don't know how to draw somebody else do this.

我不知道怎麼畫別人做這個。

It wasn't me, okay?

不是我，好嗎？

And I definitely love trees a lot, and I do live in a tree, so this is actually my house, and these are the parts of my house.

而我肯定是很喜歡樹的，我也確實是住在樹上的，所以這其實是我的房子，而這些都是我房子的組成部分。

The outside part of the bottom of the tree is called bark proof.

樹底外面的部分叫防樹皮。

We'll get to that later.

我們以後再談這個問題。

The big by brown usually brown part of the bottom of the tree is called a trunk.

大的由棕色通常棕色的樹底部分稱為樹幹。

We have leaves, which is the plural of leaf.

我們有葉子，這是葉子的複數。

Hold on.

等一下

Look at the spelling here.

看看這裡的拼寫。

This is crazy.

這真是瘋了。

So in singular, we say leaf l e f But when we make it plural, we have to change the F to a V and add yes, And this is just really crazy that English does this.

所以在單數中，我們說葉子l e f 但當我們把它變成複數時，我們必須把F改成V，並加上是，這真是太瘋狂了，英語這樣做。

People who made English before said so Let's spell it l e A f or other words kn if knife e k and I've But when we make it plural, let's just not put an e s or an E or an s.

以前做英語的人都這麼說，讓我們拼成l e A f或者其他單詞kn if knife e k和I've，但是我們做複數的時候，就不要加一個e s或者e或者s。

Let's just change it and put a V e and then e and s as well.

我們就改一下，放一個V e，然後把e和s也放進去。

So leaf becomes leaves and yeah, the spelling is a little bit mental, but, hey, we're learning English and there's a lot more.

所以，葉子變成了葉子，是的，拼寫有點精神，但是，嘿嘿，我們在學英語，還有很多東西。

Um, the large part of the tree that grows out of the trunk is called a branch.

嗯，樹上從樹幹長出來的那一大段叫枝條。

The trunk is the base of it.

樹幹是它的基礎。

And then we have roots.

然後我們有根。

Roots are in under the grounds, and they stabilize the tree, sometimes routes.

根是在理由下，他們穩定了樹，有時路線。

You can see them on the ground.

你可以看到他們在地上。

You can flip over them.

你可以翻過他們。

I've done that.

我已經做了。

I flipped over a route before, Um, when we cut the tree, who killed the tree?

我之前翻過一條路線，嗯，我們砍樹的時候，是誰殺的樹？

We can get wood from it, as I showed you and, um, larger pieces before we actually cut it into slices.

我們可以從它那裡得到木頭，就像我給你看的那樣，嗯，在我們真正把它切成片子之前，我們可以得到更大的片子。

It's called a log.

這就是所謂的日誌。

So the basic anatomy of a tree.

所以，一棵樹的基本解剖學。

We have leafed leaf, branch trunk, the roots and the bark.

我們有葉子葉子，有枝幹，有根部，有樹皮。

Now the cool thing about this is that when they were making English language or like, Well, let's let's have some fun with trees and let's take verbs and now sounds and give them the same word.

現在，很酷的事情是，當他們做英語語言或喜歡， 好吧，讓我們讓我們有一些有趣的樹，讓我們採取動詞和現在的聲音，並給他們同一個詞。

But let's let's make them completely different from a tree.

但讓我們讓它們與一棵樹完全不同。

So they did this.

所以他們就這樣做了。

First of all, bark is a verb, and it's what dogs do.

首先，吠叫是個動詞，是狗做的事。

No, I'm not sure if dogs have their own language, and it's interesting that dogs kind of understand other languages because my dog speaks English and understands Japanese, which I think is pretty cool.

不，我不知道狗是否有自己的語言，很有意思的是，狗也算是聽懂了其他語言，因為我的狗會說英語，也能聽懂日語，我覺得挺酷的。

But he barks.

但他叫了。

So my dog barks that's less at everyone.

所以我的狗叫聲那是對大家少了點。

So bark is a verb, and this is what dogs speak.

所以吠叫是一個動詞，這就是狗的說話。

Thanks for cats.

謝謝你的貓。

A Miao dogs bark.

阿苗狗叫。

Next one, we have a log.

下一個，我們有一個日誌。

So if you are a star track, not wars.

所以如果你是星軌，不是戰。

Okay, Star Trek Fan, You're going to know that in the narrative there's a captain's log Stargate 42 the captain's log is a journal.

好了，星際迷，你要知道，在敘述中，有一個船長的日誌，星際之門42號的船長日誌是一本日記。

So this is something for a boat captain could be on a spaceship because they exist or a boat and a log is basically a journal of their travels.

所以這是一個船長的東西可以在飛船上，因為他們存在或船，日誌基本上是他們旅行的日記。

Now, the funny thing is, log is also slang for turd, and you can see by my picture I do this picture.

現在，有趣的是，原木也是俚語，就是大便的意思，你看我這張圖就知道我做這張圖。

The deterrent is a piece of poo.

And this means that he has an erection, so would has very wonderful, wonderful consultations.

而這意味著，他有勃起，所以會有非常精彩，精彩的諮詢。

At the same time, another homophone we have is route in The singular is the homophone of the way that we take on a highway.

同時，我們還有一個同音詞是路線，在The singular是我們在高速公路上走的路的同音詞。

There's a very famous highway in America called Route 66 but the spelling without the S is exactly the same.

美國有一條非常著名的公路叫66號公路，但是沒有S的拼寫是完全一樣的。
