基礎被動語態

The English language was created by English people.

I don't know when, but we decided to get letters to form words so we could communicate.

不知道從什麼時候開始，我們決定用字母來組成單詞，這樣我們就可以交流了。

But we also decided to sprinkle, for no apparent reason, letters within these words.

不過，我們還決定在這些詞中莫名其妙地加入一些字母。

為什麼 "小時 "一詞的拼寫是 H？

Nobody has ever said, I'll see you in an hour.

從來沒有人說過 "一小時後見"。

I'm just going to pick up the sandwich, I'll be back in an hour.

我去拿三明治，一小時後回來。

半小時，甚至半小時都有一個 L。

The word subtle, would anybody object if it was spelt S-U-T-L-E?

微妙這個詞，如果拼成 S-U-T-L-E，會有人反對嗎？

But there's a B in the middle going, shh, just ignore me.

我被留在了這裡，被拋在後面。

I don't know, I was destined for another word, baboon, but here I am with you.

我不知道，我命中註定要用另一個詞 "狒狒"，但我還是和你在一起了。

How I long to be in the word baboon, where I have a purpose.

我多麼渴望在狒狒這個詞裡，我有自己的目標。

Like all those words that should begin with N, but have a K of all the letters.

就像那些本應以 N 開頭的單詞，卻有一個 K 的所有字母。

I've been thinking about this, as you can probably tell, and I think we should have a day.

我一直在考慮這個問題，你可能也看得出來，我覺得我們應該有一天的時間。

Sometime in the autumn, mm, in the autumn, in the autumn, mm, in the autumn, mm.

秋天的某個時候，嗯，秋天，秋天，嗯，秋天，嗯。

Could be in February, I haven't thought of the same day.

可能在二月，我還沒想過是同一天。

And we will spend the day together, families together, talking, talking, and walking with all the walks.

我們將一起度過這一天，一家人在一起，一起哈拉，一起談天，一起散步。

And climbing, climbing, climbing, climbing.

People will save up their knitting to do on silent letter day.

人們會把要編織的東西攢起來在無聲字母日當天織。

And the knife is the only cutlery that you're allowed to use.

No other cutlery is allowed on silent letter day.

無聲字母日不允許使用其他餐具。

There's salmon and swordfish and sandwiches and yoghurt.

有三文魚、劍魚、三明治和酸奶。

All the flavours are very subtle, very subtle flavours.

所有的味道都很微妙，非常微妙。

And the gnome will be the symbol of silent letter day.

侏儒將成為無聲字母日的象徵。

Like Father Christmas, at Christmas, the gnome, everybody gives each other a gnome to celebrate.

就像聖誕老人一樣，在聖誕節，每個人都會送給對方一個侏儒來慶祝。

Happy silent letter day, I got you a gnome.

無聲字母日快樂，我給你買了個侏儒。

I kept it hidden in the cupboard for months.

I cut the woo-wrapping paper with scissors.

I used scissors to cut the woo-wrapping paper.

I'm so sorry, I forgot, I didn't realise.

對不起，我忘了，我沒意識到。

You'll never listen, you'll never listen.

你總是聽不進去，你總是聽不進去

I'm not giving you a gnome, I'm sorry, I'm taking it back to the shop.

我不會給你地精的，對不起，我要把它送回商店去。

And at the end of the day, we will celebrate with champagne.

Friends from Skohul.  Grab a knife, help yourself to lasagna.

學校的朋友。 拿起刀子，自己拿千層麵吧。

And at the end of the day, when we are knackered, we go to sleep at half past the hour.

一天結束後，當我們疲憊不堪時，我們會在半點鐘睡覺。
