Hey guys, welcome to Lingua Marina and welcome to this new video.

大家好，歡迎來到 Lingua Marina，歡迎觀看這段新視頻。

In this video, I'm going to test you.

在本視頻中，我將對你進行測試。

But not only test you, if you don't know the words that I will be talking about, we're actually going to learn them because they're amazing, they're beautiful, and most of them are C1 or C2 level, which means that if you want to sound more like a native speaker, if you want your English to be more beautiful, watch this video up to the very end and learn these words.

如果你不知道我將要講的這些單詞，我們實際上要學習它們，因為它們很神奇，很優美，而且大部分都是 C1 或 C2 級別的，也就是說，如果你想讓自己聽起來更像母語人士，如果你想讓自己的英語更優美，就把這個視頻看到底，學習這些單詞。

Now, many people estimate that there are more than a million words in the English language.

現在，許多人估計英語中的單詞已超過一百萬個。

In fact, there was a project by Harvard University and Google in I think 2010 and they estimated that there are a total of 1,022,000 words in English.

事實上，哈佛大學和谷歌在 2010 年開展了一個項目，他們估計英語中總共有 102.2 萬個單詞。

But please don't panic, you don't need to know all of them to speak confidently and fluently.

但請不要驚慌，您不需要知道所有這些，就能自信流利地說話。

But when you see a massive number like this though, it's also important to remember that this includes different forms of the same word.

不過，當你看到這樣一個龐大的數字時，也要記住這包括同一個詞的不同形式。

It also includes a lot of words that we could call archaic.

它還包括很多我們可以稱之為古語的詞彙。

They're not used in modern English.

現代英語中不使用它們。

In this video, I have gathered 20 English words that I consider to be beautiful and I'm going to show you how they can be used in a sentence.

在本視頻中，我收集了 20 個我認為優美的英語單詞，並將向您展示如何在句子中使用它們。

You actually have a task during this video.

在這段視頻中，你實際上有一項任務。

I want you to listen to all the words and remember how many of those you knew and how many you didn't know.

我希望你們聆聽所有的話語，記住其中有多少是你們認識的，有多少是你們不認識的。

And please write in comments below 10 out of 20, like I knew 10 out of 20 words, or I knew 15 out of 20, or I only knew 1 out of these 20 words.

請在下面的評論中寫出 20 個單詞中的 10 個，比如我知道 20 個單詞中的 10 個，或者我知道 20 個單詞中的 15 個，或者我只知道這 20 個單詞中的 1 個。

Because again, if your score is 18 out of 20, 19 out of 20, 20 out of 20, your English is amazing.

因為同樣，如果你的分數是 18 分（滿分 20 分）、19 分（滿分 20 分）、20 分（滿分 20 分），你的英語就非常棒。
