It's Ronnie coming at you with a new, exciting lesson about verbs.

羅尼要給大家上一堂新的、令人興奮的動詞課。

But it's cool because I'm going to teach you something about a noun.

但這很酷，因為我要教你一些關於名詞的知識。

And it's a wonderful journey about a noun becomes a verb.

這是一段關於名詞變為動詞的奇妙旅程。

And the way that we do this is we take a noun and we put different suffixes.

這樣做的方法是，我們取一個名詞，然後加上不同的後綴。

So, a suffix just means something we add at the end of a word.

是以，後綴只是指我們在單詞末尾添加的東西。

So, what we do is from a noun to become a verb, we can put "-ise".

是以，我們要做的是從名詞變成動詞，我們可以加上"-ise"。

We can put "-ate", we can put "-en", or we can put "-ify".

我們可以用"-ate"，可以用"-en"，也可以用"-ify"。

What are we talking about at the end of the noun?

So, let's say that I have something that is hard.

So, we would say I'm going to soften something.

是以，我們會說，我要軟化一些東西。

And when the sponge is dry, it's kind of hard, so we add water to it to soften the sponge.

海綿幹了之後會有點硬，所以我們要加水使海綿變軟。

So, when we put these endings on it, it means to become something.

是以，當我們給它加上這些結尾時，它就意味著成為某種東西。

So, we have soft, we want to make it softer, it becomes softened.

是以，我們有柔軟，我們想讓它更柔軟，它就變得柔軟了。

What other things can become soft that are actually sometimes hard?

還有什麼東西可以變得柔軟，而實際上有時是堅硬的呢？

Can you think of something other than a sponge?

So, like I said, we have "-ise", which is kind of like these things that you're looking at, but that was just a pronunciation.

所以，就像我說的，我們有"-ise"，這有點像你們正在看的這些東西，但那只是一種發音。

So, again, all of these verbs mean to become or grow into something.

所以，所有這些動詞的意思都是變成或成長為某種東西。

是以，如果我們把我們的授權名詞......

To make something public or to become public.

是以，我們有了 "公共 "這個名詞。

To make it into a verb, we put the "-ise".

要把它變成動詞，我們要加上"-ise"。

So, publicize means you make something public.

是以，"公之於眾 "的意思就是將某件事情公之於眾。

So, you take something and you make it commercial.

所以，你要把一些東西變成商業廣告。

You're not making an ad, you're making it into a business.

你不是在做廣告，而是在把它變成一門生意。

So, you commercialize something to make a profit.

所以，你把某樣東西商業化，以賺取利潤。

Authorize means you make something legal or you make something proper.

授權的意思是讓某件事合法，或者讓某件事正當。

I can say, I'm giving you permission to do it.

So, I authorize, I publicize, and I commercialize.

是以，我授權，我宣傳，我商業化。

We're taking a verb, we're taking a noun, we're making it happen by making it a verb.

我們用一個動詞、一個名詞，通過把它變成動詞來實現它。

So, these kind of all have the same meaning, but the endings are different.

是以，這些都有相同的含義，但結尾卻各不相同。

And the point of this is, in English, we can't say, like, oh, I activized.

問題的關鍵在於，在英語中，我們不能說 "哦，我激活了"。

No, you didn't activize, you activated or activate.

不，你不是激活，你是激活或啟動。

Activate, make something, what's the noun?

You can activate charcoal or other things.

你可以使用活性炭或其他東西。

We hyphenate words, so if there's two words, we want to put them together, but they don't go together, we use a hyphen.

我們對單詞進行連字元處理，所以如果有兩個單詞，我們想把它們放在一起，但它們並不在一起，我們就會使用連字元。

So, some people can hyphenate their name.

是以，有些人可以把自己的名字連在一起。

If you have two last names together, you hyphenate.

如果兩個姓氏連在一起，就用連字元。

So, again, these are changing the noun and making it a verb.

是以，這些都是在改變名詞，使之成為動詞。

This is kind of the easiest one, but the most useful, I find.

這是最簡單的一種，但我覺得也是最有用的一種。

Make something soft, to become soft is to soften.

讓東西變得柔軟，變得柔軟就是軟化。

把東西變長，我們就把它加長。

Those kind of change a little bit, but you're smart, you can do it, I understand.

但你很聰明，你能做到，我理解。

My brain's kind of liquified at the moment, but this is a really fun way that you can see how a noun magically transforms into a verb in English just by adding a suffix or an end to the noun.

我的大腦現在有點液化，但這是一個非常有趣的方法，你可以看到在英語中，名詞是如何通過添加後綴或詞尾神奇地轉化為動詞的。

This will help you a lot in writing, it'll help you a lot in speaking, reading, all the English skills that you need.

這對你的寫作、口語、閱讀以及所有英語技能都有很大幫助。
