But now, let's hear more about that story from this BBC News report:

但現在，讓我們從這份BBC新聞報道中聽到更多關於這個故事的內容。

所以，唐納德-特朗普，前總統。

has decided to launch his own social media network called Truth Social.

他決定推出自己的社交媒體網絡，名為Truth Social。

Now, as we know, social media was crucial

現在，正如我們所知，社交媒體是至關重要的

to Donald Trump's campaign to become president and then,

到唐納德-特朗普成為總統的競選活動，然後。

whilst he was president, Twitter was his favourite way

在他擔任總統期間，Twitter是他最喜歡的方式。

of getting his messages out to his followers.

But, he was banned from Twitter and other social media platforms

但是，他被禁止在Twitter和其他社交媒體平臺上使用

after the events on Capitol Hill in Washington

after the last election earlier on this year.

在今年早些時候的最後一次選舉之後。

Now, he says he's going to launch a new network

現在，他說他要推出一個新的網絡

這樣，他就可以把自己的聲音傳出去

and so he can challenge the big technology companies.

是以，他可以挑戰大型科技公司。

Yes, and we've got three words and expressions that you can use

是的，我們有三個詞和表達方式，你可以使用

We have. They are: 'silenced', 'big tech' and 'take on'.

我們有。它們是。'沉默'、'大技術'和'承擔'。

That's 'silenced', 'big tech' and 'take on'.

這就是 "沉默"、"大技術 "和 "承擔"。

OK. Well, one of those words appears in your first headline.

好的。那麼，其中一個詞出現在你的第一個標題中。

Yes, it does. So, the headline is from Sky News

是的，確實如此。是以，標題來自天空新聞

'Silenced' – that's prevented from speaking.

是的。"Silenced"，拼寫為S-I-L-E-N-C-E-D。

Now, people probably recognise the word in the middle there,

現在，人們可能認出了中間的那個詞。

which is a noun: 'silence'. What's 'silence'?

這是個名詞：'沉默'。什麼是'沉默'？

Well, 'silence' is when there's no noise.

好吧，"沉默 "是指沒有噪音的時候。

Sometimes it's a beautiful sound, absolute 'silence'.

有時它是一種美麗的聲音，絕對的 "沉默"。

Yeah, 'silence' is the absence of any sound

是的，"沉默 "是沒有任何聲音的。

and the adjective... adjective there is 'silent', but...

和形容詞... 形容詞有 "沉默"，但...

A bit like the Christmas carol, 'Silent Night'.

That's right, yes. But, we can also use this as a verb:

這是正確的，是的。但是，我們也可以把它作為一個動詞使用。

'To silence someone': that means to make someone silent –

'讓某人沉默'：這意味著讓某人沉默------。

to stop them from making noise or speaking

So, here you don't have any choice in being silent;

所以，在這裡，你沒有任何選擇，只能沉默。

you're... you're being made to be silent.

That's right, yes. So, clearly in this headline

這是正確的，是的。是以，很明顯，在這個標題中

Donald Trump is saying that he wants to say things

so he feels as if he has been 'silenced' –

所以他覺得自己好像被 "沉默 "了 --

And it's quite a formal word to use, isn't it, when you're 'silenced'?

而且，當你 "沉默 "時，使用這個詞是很正式的，不是嗎？

Yeah, we use this to talk about serious things, really.

是的，我們用這個來談論嚴肅的事情，真的。

So, opinions that are being prevented from being expressed

Yeah, and probably they make noise from time to time.

是的，可能他們還時不時地發出聲音。

You wouldn't say that you 'silenced' them;

you would say that you 'asked them to be quiet'

or something – something a bit harsher if you were bit angry.

或者別的什麼--如果你有點生氣，就來點更嚴厲的。

I'd say: 'Keep the noise down,' yes – 'be quiet.'

我會說："小點聲，"是的--"要安靜。

But, yes, I wouldn't say: 'I am silencing you!'

但是，是的，我不會說：'我在讓你閉嘴！'

Yeah and we wouldn't say they you 'silenced' your children;

是的，我們不會說他們你'沉默'了你的孩子。

we'd just say you asked them to be quiet.

So, 'silenced' – quite... quite formal and serious sounding.

所以，"沉默"--相當......相當正式和嚴肅的聲音。

OK. Well, let's have a summary of that word:

好的。好吧，讓我們對這個詞做個總結。

OK. We've talked a lot about Donald Trump here on News Review

好的。我們在《新聞評論》上談了很多關於唐納德-特朗普的事情

and earlier this year we did a story about when he was acquitted.

這就對了。由兩個詞組成。'大'，B-I-G，和'技術'，T-E-C-H。

OK. So, 'big tech': we're talking about big TVs, aren't we?

好的。那麼，"大科技"：我們正在談論大電視，不是嗎？

Well, I understand why you think that Rob, but you are not correct.

好吧，我理解你為什麼這麼想，但你並不正確。

I know you like to have a big TV to watch football matches

我知道你喜歡有一臺大電視來觀看足球比賽

but this is not about the size of gadgets

it's about the technology companies and their size,

again referring to the size of these companies.
