OK. Well, you have been scanning the world's media

好的。那麼，你一直在掃描世界上的媒體

for this story and you have picked out

為這個故事，你已經挑出了

some really useful words and expressions. What have you got?

一些真正有用的詞彙和表達方式。你有什麼？

We have: 'resettled', 'granted' and 'flee'.

我們有。重新安置"、"授予 "和 "逃亡"。

'Resettled', 'granted' and 'flee'.

'重新安置'、'授予'和'逃離'。

So, let's have a look at your first headline please, Roy.

那麼，讓我們來看看你的第一個標題吧，羅伊。

So, our first headline comes from the UK,

是以，我們的第一個頭條新聞來自英國。

from the Evening Standard, and it reads:

來自《標準晚報》的報道，內容如下。

'Resettled' – forced or helped to move to a different place to live.

重新安置'--被迫或被幫助搬到另一個地方居住。

Yes. So, this word is spelt R-E-S-E-T-T-L-E-D

是的，所以，這個詞的拼寫是R-E-S-E-T-L-E-D

and it means that somebody has been moved by force,

而這意味著有人被強行移動了。

or from help, from one place to another to live.

或來自幫助，從一個地方到另一個地方生活。

Now, let's first of all look at that word.

現在，讓我們首先看一下這個詞。

Right in the middle of that word is the word 'settle',

在這個詞的正中間是 "定居 "一詞。

which means to move somewhere to live.

這意味著要搬到某個地方去住。

So, for example, my parents – when I was a lot younger –

是以，例如，我的父母--當我年輕得多的時候------。

they moved to the Isle of Wight in the south of the UK to live.

他們搬到了英國南部的懷特島居住。

So, they settled on the Isle of Wight

是以，他們在懷特島定居。

and it's about a choice – you choosing to do something –

它是關於一個選擇--你選擇做什麼--的問題。

and it being a permanent arrangement.

而這是一個永久性的安排。

Now, in the word 'resettled', we have that prefix 're-', which means 'again'.

現在，在 "重新安置 "這個詞中，我們有 "再 "這個前綴，意思是 "再"。

So, for example, Neil, if you do something once

是以，舉例來說，尼爾，如果你做一次事

and then you do it again, what do you do?

然後你再做一次，你會怎麼做？

You 'redo' it.

你'重做'它。

'Redo' it: so, you're doing it for a second time – again.

'重做'：所以，你要做第二次--再做一次。

And the idea of 'resettled' is moving where...

而 "重新安置 "的想法是在哪裡移動...

you are settled in one place – you're living in one place –

你在一個地方定居 - 你住在一個地方 -

and then you move to another place: you 'resettle'.

然後你搬到另一個地方：你'重新定居'。

Now, it's important to remember this is often that you're helped

現在，重要的是要記住，這往往是你被幫助了

or you're forced to do that move.

否則你就會被迫做這個動作。

That's right. So, for example, if you live – I mean, we looked

這是對的。是以，例如，如果你住在--我的意思是，我們看著

at a story from the Canary Islands with the volcano a few weeks ago.

在幾周前加那利群島的一個故事中，有一座火山。

If a volcano explodes – erupts – near you and the lava is flowing

如果火山在你附近爆炸--噴發--並且熔岩在流淌

towards your house and destroys it or there are floods, for example,

比如說，你的房子被洪水沖垮了，或者發生了洪水。

you may have to be 'resettled' – that's move to a new place.

你可能必須被 "重新安置"--也就是搬到一個新的地方。

And in that situation there is something forcing you – a natural disaster –

而在這種情況下，有什麼東西在逼迫你--自然災害--。

but the authorities are there to help you 'resettle'.

但當局會在那裡幫助你 "重新安置"。

In other situations – we can think of, for example,

在其他情況下--我們可以想到，比如說。

with many indigenous populations around the world –

與世界各地的許多土著居民 -

governments force them to move onto new settlements

政府強迫他們搬到新的定居點

and that was done by force.

而這是通過武力完成的。

So, it was not with the best intentions.

所以，這並不是出於最好的意圖。

No, no. Absolutely not.

不，不。絕對不是。

And you used an interesting word there.

而你在那裡用了一個有趣的詞。

You used the word 'settlement', which is the place where people 'settle'

你用了'定居'這個詞，這是人們'定居'的地方

and the people that do the 'settling' are called 'settlers'.

而進行 "定居 "的人被稱為 "定居者"。

That's right, yeah. So, that word 'settle' in the middle there

這是正確的，是的。所以，中間的 "解決 "這個詞

is the key to all of this.

是這一切的關鍵。

Absolutely.

絕對的。

OK. Let's get a summary:

好的。讓我們來做個總結。

So, we mentioned natural disasters and people having to move.

所以，我們提到了自然災害和人們不得不搬家。

We covered a story, a while ago, about a flood in Australia,

不久前，我們報道了一個關於澳洲洪水的故事。

in which crocodiles were seen swimming up and down the streets of a town.

其中，人們看到鱷魚在一個城鎮的街道上來回遊動。

Where can our viewers find it?

Let's have a look at your next headline.

OK. So, our next headline comes from the National and it reads:

好的。是以，我們的下一個頭條新聞來自《國家報》，內容如下。

'Granted' – given something officially.

'準許'--正式給予某種東西。

Yes. So, this word is spelt G-R-A-N-T-E-D

是的，所以，這個詞的拼寫是G-R-A-N-T-E-D

and it means to be given the permission

而這意味著被賦予了許可

or the right to do something.

或做某事的權利。

So, for example, in this case these people have been given visas:

是以，例如，在這種情況下，這些人已經獲得了簽證。

they have been 'granted' visas.

他們已經被 "授予 "簽證。

Another good example is you can 'grant' somebody access to a building:

另一個很好的例子是你可以 "授予 "某人進入一棟建築的權利。

you can give that person the permission to enter the building.

你可以給這個人進入大樓的許可。

Or, for example, on computers

if you can't access my file, I can 'grant' you the access:

如果你不能訪問我的文件，我可以 "授予 "你訪問權。

it's about giving the permission.

這是關於給予許可。

OK. Roy – so, you said it's like 'give':

好的。羅伊--所以，你說它像 "給"。

so, why don't we just use 'give'?

那麼，我們為什麼不直接使用 "給予 "呢？

What's the difference between 'grant' and 'give'?

授予 "和 "給予 "之間有什麼區別？

Well, yeah, I mean, informally you could say they've been 'given' visas,

嗯，是的，我的意思是，非正式地，你可以說他們已經被 "給予 "簽證。

but 'grant' is a bit more official.

但 "授予 "更正式一點。

It's a bit more about giving permission to do something.

這更多的是關於允許做一些事情。

It's an official thing. And it's also...

這是一個官方的東西。而且它也是...

has this sort of idea of it being about a favour

有這樣的想法，即它是關於一個人情的。

or helping someone to do something.

或幫助別人做某事。

That's right, yeah.

We see this word, 'grant', also as a noun, don't we?

我們看到這個詞，'授予'，也是作為一個名詞，不是嗎？

And it's... it refers often to financial help.

而且它......它經常指的是財務幫助。

Yeah. Again, that important word there is 'help'

是的。同樣，那個重要的詞是 "幫助"。

and it's facilitating something to happen.

而且它在促進一些事情的發生。

So, a good example of this is maybe if somebody needs help

是以，一個很好的例子是，也許如果有人需要幫助

or they don't have access to finances to go to university,

或者他們沒有機會獲得上大學的資金。

they receive a 'grant';

他們獲得了 "補助"。

or maybe a charity or a person receives a 'grant' to do something.

We hear this a lot, especially parents talking about their children:

我們經常聽到這種說法，特別是父母談論他們的孩子。

'Oh, he or she takes me for granted!'

'哦，他或她把我當做理所當然！'

Now, this idea is believing that something is true or it's available,

現在，這個想法是相信某些東西是真實的，或者它是可以得到的。

without really questioning or asking something.

沒有真正質疑或詢問什麼。

Now, a great example of this:

現在，這是一個很好的例子。
