Hello, Dr Jill.

你好，吉爾博士

今天你在想什麼？

Well, John, I've re watched Star Wars for the first time in a long time.

約翰 我第一次重新看了《星球大戰》 Well, John, I've re -watched Star Wars for the first time in a long time.

Really?

真的嗎？

The first one.

第一個。

Star Wars.

星球大戰

A new hope.

新的希望。

That's the one.

就是這個。

You know, It got me thinking about pronoun usage pronouns like I they he she?

你知道，這讓我想到了代詞的用法代詞，比如我他們他她？

Yes, exactly.

是的，沒錯。

And I noticed something about Harrison Ford.

我還注意到哈里森-福特的一些事情

How good looking he is.

他是多麼的好看。

Well, yes.

嗯，是的。

But also how he abused the pronoun she right.

但也是他如何濫用代詞她的權利。

He uses the pronoun she to refer to his spaceship, the Millennium Falcon.

他用代詞 "她 "來指代他的飛船 "千年隼 "號。

That's right.

是的

He says she may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts.

他說，她可能看起來不怎麼樣，但她在重要的地方得到了它。

I love that line.

我喜歡這句話。

I wish I was able to fix up things like that.

我希望我能夠修復這樣的事情。

My car doesn't look like much, and it doesn't have it where it counts.

我的車看起來不怎麼樣，關鍵的地方也沒有。

It made me think about how English speakers sometimes make unusual pronoun choices when they talk about some objects like large pieces of machinery, cars, bolt spaceships.

這讓我想到，英語使用者在談論一些物體時，如大件機械、汽車、螺栓飛船時，有時會做出不尋常的代詞選擇。

That's right.

是的

Usually we use it to talk about objects.

通常我們用它來談論對象。

But in rare cases, I hear people use she I wouldn't recommend using she to refer to an object on a writing test.

但在極少數情況下，我聽到有人用she我不建議用she來指代寫作考試的對象。

Yes, I imagine most writing tests would mark off for that.

是的，我想大部分的寫作考試都會為此打分。

But it can be useful to understand the idea when listening to everyday speech, and that's everyday grammar mhm.

但是在聽日常語音的時候，可以瞭解一下這個概念，這就是日常文法嗯。
