Israel says that they're taking military action to prevent Hezbollah attacking northern Israel from southern Lebanon.

以色列說，他們正在採取軍事行動，以防止真主黨從黎巴嫩南部襲擊以色列北部。

But Lebanese authorities say that over 1,000 people have been killed in the last two weeks, and that over a million people have had to leave their homes.

但黎巴嫩當局說，在過去兩週裡，已有 1000 多人喪生，100 多萬人不得不離開家園。

And I have a headline here about the Israeli leader's comments following the Iran missile attack.

我這裡有一個頭條新聞，是關於以色列領導人在伊朗飛彈襲擊後發表的評論。

Netanyahu says Iran will pay for missile attack as Israel sends more troops to Lebanon.

我們正在考慮支付一些費用。

Now, Phil, there is an obvious meaning of this expression, pay for, which everyone will know.

現在，菲爾，"付出代價 "這個表述有一個顯而易見的含義，每個人都會知道。

So, we use money to get something that we didn't have before, and that's pay for.

是以，我們用錢來獲得以前沒有的東西，這就是支付。

So, for example, you pay for your bus or train ticket when you come to work.

例如，你上班時會支付汽車票或火車票的費用。

Yes, but pay for is also often used to mean suffer the consequences of something seen as bad.

So, an example of how we could use this in another context is you could say that someone will pay for their lifestyle choices.

For example, he smoked all his life but paid for it by getting a series of breathing problems as he got older.

So, a different example, she paid a high price for not studying and failed all her exams.

They bend their arms and legs to show off the size of their muscles.

In this case, the writer is saying that the Iranian government felt that they needed to demonstrate their military strength.

We're talking about Iran, Israel and Lebanon.

我們談論的是伊朗、以色列和黎巴嫩。

And our next headline is a story from before Iran's attack on Israel, when Israeli troops invaded Lebanon.

我們的下一個頭條是伊朗襲擊以色列之前的一個故事，當時以色列軍隊入侵黎巴嫩。

Now, Israel's invasion of Lebanon was described by the Israeli military as a limited, localised and targeted operation against Hezbollah.

現在，以色列入侵黎巴嫩被以色列軍方描述為一次針對真主黨的有限、局部和有針對性的行動。

But as we've said, Lebanese authorities have said that over a thousand people have been killed in the last two weeks and that over a million people have had to leave their homes.

但正如我們所說的，黎巴嫩當局表示，在過去兩週內，已有一千多人喪生，超過一百萬人不得不離開家園。

Now, I have a headline here that describes this military action.

現在，我有一個標題來描述這次軍事行動。

This is from Al Jazeera.

這是半島電視臺的報道。

Flares and explosions as Israel announces Lebanon offensive.

以色列宣佈進攻黎巴嫩時的信號彈和爆炸聲。

That headline again.

又是這個標題。

Flares and explosions as Israel announces Lebanon offensive.

以色列宣佈進攻黎巴嫩時的信號彈和爆炸聲。

And that's from Al Jazeera.

這是半島電視臺的報道。

Now, this headline is describing what was happening as Israeli forces moved into Lebanon.

現在，這個標題描述的是以色列軍隊進入黎巴嫩時發生的情況。

We're going to look at the noun offensive.

我們來看看名詞 "進攻"。

Now, you might actually know this more as an adjective.

現在，你可能更瞭解這個形容詞了。

If we describe something as offensive as an adjective, then that means that it's insulting, it causes offence to people.

如果我們用形容詞來形容某種東西具有攻擊性，那麼這就意味著它具有侮辱性，會引起人們的反感。

But here we're looking at the noun.

但在這裡，我們看到的是名詞。

Yeah, but if we think about being insulted, if you find something offensive, it's almost like being attacked.

是的，但如果我們想想被侮辱的感覺，如果你覺得某些東西令人不快，那幾乎就像是被攻擊了。

And that sense is what is closest to the noun here because an offensive is a planned military attack.

在這裡，"進攻 "與 "名詞 "的含義最為接近，因為 "進攻 "是有計劃的軍事攻擊。

Now here, this was a ground offensive and that means that soldiers were on the ground attacking.

在這裡，這是一次地面進攻，這意味著阿兵哥們在地面上發起攻擊。

And now this noun also has a more general use and you'll often find that a lot of business language uses military imagery and offensive is another example of this.

現在，這個名詞也有了更廣泛的用途，你會發現很多商業用語都使用了軍事意象，"進攻 "就是另一個例子。

So an offensive can be an effort or a campaign to do something that's quite bold.

是以，進攻可以是一種努力，也可以是一場運動，去做一些相當大膽的事情。

So a company might have planned a marketing offensive when they launch lots of new adverts or they might have a product which they're going to use to launch an offensive on a new market because they think it's going to be really successful and take lots of customers away from their rivals.

是以，當一家公司推出大量新廣告時，他們可能已經計劃好了一場營銷攻勢，或者他們可能有一種產品，準備用來向一個新市場發起攻勢，因為他們認為這種產品會非常成功，會從競爭對手那裡搶走很多客戶。

Yeah, that really retains that image of being aggressive, bold, a big campaign.

是的，這確實保留了咄咄逼人、大膽、大張旗鼓的形象。

We've had an offensive, which is a planned military campaign.

我們發動了攻勢，這是一場有計劃的軍事行動。

For example, the army launched their offensive at midnight.

例如，軍隊在午夜發動進攻。
