我們也不要忘記萊斯利，來自天上的萬事通之聲。

Hello everyone!

大家好!

Tonight we’re going to ask you three questions about...

今晚我們要問你們三個問題，關於……

Adverbs of frequency!

頻率副詞！

Yes, those short words like "always" and "sometimes" that tell us how often people do things.

沒錯，也就是那些短語，像是「總是」和「有時」，告訴我們人們做事的頻率。

OK! Now, let’s meet our contestants!

好了！現在，讓我們來認識一下我們的參賽者!

Hi, everyone. I’m Mike!

嗨，大家好。我是邁克!

Contestant number 2?

2號參賽者？

Hi, Will. My name’s Sarah!

嗨，威爾。我是薩拉！

Welcome back, Sarah!

歡迎回來，薩拉!

OK! Let’s get going and don’t forget you can play along at home, too.

好了!讓我們馬上開始，別忘了你也可以在家裡一起玩。

Our first question is a sorting question.

我們的第一個問題是一個排序問題。

Listen to these sentences and put them in the correct order from most often to least often.

聽聽這些句子並把它們放在正確的順序中，從頻率最高到最低。

Here we go!

準備好囉！

a) I always ride my bike to school.

a) 我總是騎自行車去學校。

b) He never sleeps before nine.

b) 他從不在九點前睡覺。

c) She sometimes misses breakfast.

c) 她有時會不吃早餐。

d) You often go on holiday.

d) 你經常去度假。

e) It rarely rains here.

e) 這裡很少下雨。

A, D, C, E, B.

A、D、C、E、B。

Always, often, sometimes, rarely, never.

總是，經常，有時，很少，從不。

Leslie?

萊斯利?

Well done!

做得好!

As you said, from most often to least often:

正如你所說，從最經常到最不經常。

I "always" ride...

我「總是」騎……

You "often" go...

你「經常」去……

She "sometimes" misses...

她「有時」會不吃……

It "rarely" rains...

「很少」下雨……

He "never" sleeps...

他「從不」在……

Good job, Mike.

不錯哦，邁克。

You know sometimes a contestant will come along and really dazzle me with their intelligence and knowledge.

你知道有時會有參賽者讓我拜倒在他們的聰明才智下。

Not today.

但不是今天。

One point for you.

你得一分。

Question two.

問題二。

What must you remember about the form of the main verb when using adverbs "never" and "rarely"?

在使用副詞「從不 never」和「很少 rarely」時，主要動詞需要注意什麼？

The verb must be positive not negative.

動詞必須是肯定而不是否定。

Leslie?

萊斯利?

Superb!

有夠讚！

"Never" and "rarely" must take a positive verb.

「從不 never」和「很少 rarely」必須的動詞必須是肯定。

I never study. I rarely go.

我「從不 never」學習。我「很少 rarely」去

Good job Mike. Have 16 and a half points.

幹得好，邁克。給你16.5分。

You don’t never need to worry with an answer like that.

你永遠不需擔心這樣的答案。

Yeah.

是啊。

Wait, what?

蛤，什麼？

Now for our final question.

現在是我們的最後一個問題。

Look at this sentence and tell me where the adverb "frequency" should go.

看看這句話並告訴我頻率副詞應該放在哪裡 。

Position B! Just before the main verb!

位置B！就在主要動詞之前！

Leslie?

萊斯利?

Yes, Sarah. That’s right.

是的，薩拉。答對了。

Good job, Sarah ! You aren’t asleep after all.

做得好，薩拉！我還以為你睡著了。

You can have five points, or you can gamble and go for 150 points.

你可以拿5分，或賭一把，有機會拿到150分。

What would you like to do?

你想怎麼選？

Gamble?

賭一把？

Everyone loves an entertaining fool!

誰不愛炒熱氣氛的小呆瓜呢！

Here’s your question.

這是你的問題。

Look at this sentence and tell me where the adverb of "frequency" should go?

看看這句話，告訴我頻率副詞應該放在哪裡。

Nice try!

好棒棒！

It’s position B again!

一樣是B位置！

Leslie?

萊斯利?

Wrong, I’m afraid.

很抱歉答錯了。

You were right in the first case.

你在上一題時是正確的。

The adverb of frequency goes before the main verb.

頻率副詞應該在主要動詞前 。

Unless, like in the second case, the main verb is the verb be.

除非，像第二種情況。主動詞是be動詞的話。

Then, the adverb of frequency goes after.

頻率副詞就該在be動詞後。

I’m sorry Sarah. That was wrong!

很抱歉，薩拉。答錯了。

Minus 12 points.

扣12分。

Well, that brings us to the end of today’s Grammar Gameshow.

好的，現在來到了今天文法遊戲秀的尾聲。

Let’s count out the points.

我們來算算分數。

And the winner is...

贏家是……

Mike! With 412.

邁克！得到412分。

Well done! Here’s what you’ve won!

不錯哦！這是你的獎品！

It’s a pen!

一支筆！

You can finally practice your spelling!

你終於可以練習你的拼寫了!

And how did you do at home?

你在家表現的怎麼樣呢？

We’ll see you again next week, where you can play for an even bigger prize.

我們下週見，有更大獎等著你。

And Sarah?

薩拉呢？

You barely got in the game at all!

你幾乎沒在狀況內！

Why?

為什麼？

I think it’s because...

我想是因為……

Fascinating!

帥呆了！
