歡迎回到 www.engvid.com。我是 Adam。

to 不定詞

In today's video, I want to give you some collocations with the prepositions in, on, and at.

在今天的影片裡，我想教大家一些帶有介系詞 in、on 和 at 的詞組。

Now, again, just to review, what is a collocation?

好了，再次複習一下，什麼是詞組呢？

This is a commonly joined grouping of words, sometimes two words, sometimes three, that have very specific functions or meanings.

這是兩個或三個字經常一起出現的組合，它們有非常特定的功能或意思。

And in the case of the examples I'll show you here, most of almost all of them have an idiomatic function, meaning that the two words together mean something different than the two words separated.

在我接下來要展示的例子中，幾乎所有詞組都帶有慣用語功能，也就是說，這兩個字組合起來的意思，跟這兩個字分開來時的意思不同。

And you'll understand as I get into them.

當我講到它們的時候，你就會明白了。

Now, the main thing I want to get across here is that in on, at is not limited to talking about time or dates, because in most English classes, when they teach you these prepositions, that's what they focus on.

好了，我今天要強調的重點是，in、on、at 不僅限於談論時間或日期，因為在大多數英文課裡，教這些介系詞時，通常都只聚焦在這一點上。

But you're going to see that they have a lot of different uses.

但你會看到它們有很多不同的用法。

And I also made a previous video explaining how to learn prepositions in collocations.

我之前也做了一支影片，解釋如何學習詞組中的介系詞。

你們必須像學習詞彙一樣去學習它們。

So let's get started with the collocations with the preposition in.

好了，那我們就開始來學介系詞 "in" 的詞組吧。

In charge, in the dark, in light of and in all likelihood.

負責、被蒙在鼓裡、鑑於、極有可能。

那麼，「全力投入」是什麼意思呢？

So if any of you play poker, you know the card game where you're betting, if you think you have a very, very good hand, you're going to take all of your money and put it into the pot, you're all in.

如果你們有人玩撲克牌，就是那種下注的紙牌遊戲，當你覺得你手上的牌非常好、非常好時，你會把你所有的錢都放進彩池裡，這就是「all in」。

So we also use this expression to mean fully committed to something.

我們也會用這個說法來表示「全心投入」某件事。

So if you have a project at work or if you have your friend wants to do something, like exciting, like an adventure, and

所以，如果你在工作上有個專案，或是你的朋友想做某件很刺激的事，像是冒險，然後

他們會說，你對這件事「全力投入」嗎？

I'm 100% committed to doing this thing or I'm going to put 100% of my efforts into that.

這表示我百分之百投入做這件事，或是我會百分之百地為這件事付出努力。

In charge means having control, being the authority.

「負責」的意思就是掌握控制權、是權威。

So in most countries, the president or the prime minister or whoever is in charge makes the major decisions, right?

所以在大多數國家，總統或總理，或是任何「負責」的人，都會做出重大決定，對吧？

在公司裡，執行長（CEO）是「負責」的人。

In a classroom, in theory, the teacher is in charge of the classroom.

在教室裡，理論上，老師是「負責」教室的人。

In some places, the students are in charge, but we won't talk about that today.

在某些地方，學生們是「負責」的人，但我們今天就不討論這個了。

So to be in charge, to be in control, authority in the dark.

所以「負責」就是掌握控制權、權威，而不是被蒙在鼓裡。

If you imagine being in a dark place, you don't really know what's going on, right?

如果你想像自己身處黑暗的地方，你其實不知道發生了什麼事，對吧？

所以這個詞組的意思就是這樣。

To be in the dark means to not know or Somebody's keeping a secret from you or any situation like that where you're not aware of what's going on, what people are doing, what people are thinking, etc.

被蒙在鼓裡，意思就是不知道，或者有人對你隱瞞祕密，或者任何你不知道正在發生的事情、人們在做什麼、人們在想什麼等等的狀況。

Which is not related or not opposite to in the dark, in light of means knowing what we know now and then whatever the result or the next action will be.

這和被蒙在鼓裡沒有關聯，也不是相反的意思，鑑於是指了解我們現在所知道的，然後無論結果或下一步行動是什麼。

Like for example, in legal cases, in light of the evidence we believe that this person committed murder.

例如，在法律案件中，鑑於證據，我們相信這個人犯了謀殺罪。

So it's not like a secret here, but it's based on information that you have.

所以這不是像祕密一樣，而是基於你擁有的資訊。

In light of this information in all likelihood basically means probably.

鑑於這些資訊，極有可能基本上就代表「大概」。

In all likelihood something will happen, means there's a very good chance it will happen.

極有可能某件事會發生，代表有很大的機率會發生。

All of these collocations within have nothing to do with time or date or place.

這些詞組裡面，都跟時間、日期或地點沒有關係。

So make sure you understand them as individual vocabulary units.

所以請確保你把這些當成獨立的詞彙單元來理解。

That's the easiest way to think about this.

這是思考這件事最簡單的方式。

Sorry, we're going to start with on and off.

抱歉，我們要從 on 和 off 開始。

And you notice I have the hyphens because these are all working together.

你注意到我用了連字號，因為這些都是一起作用的。

So some, like my friend comes to visit me on and off whenever he's in town.

所以有些，就像我的朋友，只要他在城裡，就會不時來找我。

If a machine is working on and off means sometimes it just turns off, sometimes it turns on.

如果一臺機器 on and off，意思就是有時候它會關掉，有時候會打開。

So the light, the lights sometimes are on and off, sometimes they're on, sometimes they're off.

所以燈，燈有時候是 on and off，有時候開著，有時候關著。

So of course I am writing on the board, but that's a completely different collocation.

所以當然我在黑板上寫字，但那是一個完全不同的詞組。

On board means you've joined something or you agree with something.

On board 的意思是你加入了某個東西，或者你同意某個東西。

So we have a company meeting and I say, okay, this is what we plan to do.

所以我們有個公司會議，我說，好了，這是我們打算做的。

And I hope all of you are on board with this plan.

我希望你們大家都能贊同這個計畫。

I hope all of you are willing to participate and agree with this plan.

我希望你們大家願意參與並同意這個計畫。

And it doesn't have to be business situations.

You're on board with anything that needs some sort of agreement or a group decision to work together and do something on behalf of.

你對任何需要某種協議或團體決定來一起合作並代表某事的事情都表示贊同。

So if I, if I decide to represent my school at a conference, I speak on behalf of my colleagues.

所以如果我，如果我決定在會議上代表我的學校，我就是代表我的同事們發言。

Instead of each teacher or each person working there saying something, one person will speak for everybody.

與其讓那裡的每位老師或每個人都說點什麼，不如由一個人代表大家發言。

So one person will speak on behalf of the whole group on condition I will help you.

所以一個人會代表整個團隊發言，前提是我會幫助你。

Or on one condition or on two conditions.

Basically on condition means there's something else that needs to be done for me to do something else, right?

基本上，前提就是有其他事情需要完成，我才能做另一件事，對吧？

So if you want me to help you study for the IELTS exam, I will do it on condition that you do your homework and do everything that I ask you to do.

所以如果你希望我幫助你準備雅思（IELTS）考試，我會做，前提是你完成你的功課，並做我要求你做的一切。

If you're not going to work hard, I'm not going to help you.

如果你不努力，我就不會幫你。

sometimes I go to the store and I, you know, I'm buying my groceries, like bread and meat and vegetables and whatnot.

有時候我去商店，然後，你知道的，我會買我的雜貨，像是麵包、肉、蔬菜等等。

And sometimes I'll purchase a snack on impulse.

On impulse means without thinking about it before.

這是一個突然的決定要做某件事。

So an action taken on impulse is one that wasn't planned or thought about before.

所以衝動下的行為是沒有事先計畫或想過的。

所以 at large 的意思就是「總體來說」。

So, for example, using less plastic helps the entire society or helps society at large generally, everybody.

所以，舉例來說，少用塑膠有助於整個社會，或有助於整個社會，大家。

Another use of this is that at large means a little bit like free.

另一個用法是，at large 有點像「自由」的意思。

So a prisoner escaped from jail and now he's at large.

所以有個囚犯逃獄了，現在他就是 at large。

We don't know where he is, he's free somewhere and we need to capture him.

我們不知道他在哪裡，他在某處自由自在，我們需要抓到他。

So that's another expression, use at stake.

所以這是另一個說法，用 at stake。

At stake means at risk of being lost or damaged or whatever.

At stake 的意思是有可能失去或損壞，或任何情況。
