I know that there are actually quite a few of you who are teachers of English, and you

我知道有許多來看的人都是英文老師, 而且你們

wanted to know some classroom English. So, today, we're going to look at classroom English.

都想要知道一些教室英文. 所以今天, 我們要來看一些跟教室英文有關的事情.

This is more for beginners, especially people who have just joined an English class, an

這堂課是專門給初學者的, 尤其是那些剛加入一門如英語課程,

ESL class, EFL class, etc. and you're starting to get used to the classroom environment,

以英語為第二語言課程, 以英語為外語課程, 等等的人. 而你們正開始熟悉教室的環境,

and you're not exactly sure what the teacher is saying, what you should say, etc.

且你不太確定老師在說什麼,你應該說什麼, 等等.

We're going to start with the teachers. What do teachers say that you need to understand?

我們先從老師說的話開始. 哪些老師說的話是你應該了解的?

Okay? [Clears throat] Excuse me. First, the teacher will take attendance, or the teacher

好嗎？[清喉嚨] 不好意思. 首先, 老師會先檢查出席狀況, 或老師

will take roll call. Sorry, these are two separate words, "roll call". Basically, they

會點名. 不好意思, 這是2個分開的單字, "點名". 基本上, 他們

want to know who is here and who is not here. Okay? So, if a student is in the class, he

想知道誰有到場和誰沒有到場. 好嗎? 所以, 如果一個學生在這堂課有到場, 表示他

or she is present. So, if the teacher says: -"Bill?" -"Present." -"Mary?" -"Present."

或她有出席. 所以, 如果老師說:"Bill?" "有." "Mary?" "有."

-"Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?" Bueller is absent. He or she is not in the class. So, "absent",

"Buller? Buller? Buller?" Buller 曠課了. 他或她沒有出席這堂課. 所以,"缺席",

not here. "Present", here.

沒有到場. "出席", 有到場.

If the teacher has finished with attendance and starts to teach the class, and a student

如果老師點完名且開始上課了, 然後一名學生

comes in then, that student is late. And they get a little check. Too many lates, you get

才進來, 那這位學生就是遲到了. 此時他們會被做上記號. 太多遲到, 你會有些

into trouble. Now, you could be absent, but you can have an excused absent, means that

麻煩. 現在, 你可能曠課了, 但你可以請假, 表示

you have a note from your parents, from your doctor, from your boss, or the teacher just

你有家長, 醫生, 老闆的證明, 或老師就是

knows that you're not coming today and it's okay; it's excused.

知道你不會出席而沒關係. 這是有理由的.

Now, the teacher will give you commands. He or she will tell you to do things. Okay? So,

現在, 老師會給你指示. 他或她會請你做些事. 好嗎? 所以,

it's very important that you understand what to do. If a teacher says: "Put up your hand",

知道你要做什麼是非常重要的. 如果老師說:"舉起你的手",

or: "Raise your hand to ask a question, to make a comment, to ask to go to the bathroom",

或:"舉手問問題, 發表意見, 詢問是否能去洗手間",

put up your hand. Raise your hand. Don't speak out. Because if everybody speaks out, it's

舉手就好. 舉手. 不要直接說出來. 因為如果大家都不舉手直接發言, 那

just noise. Put up your hand, ask your question, get your answer. Okay?

只是製造噪音. 先舉手, 問問題, 然後得到答覆. 好嗎?

Then, the teacher will ask you: "Take out your notebooks. Take out your pens. Take out

接著, 老師會請你:"拿出你的筆記本. 拿出你的簽字筆. 拿出

your earphones." Basically, get them ready, we are going to use them. Okay.

你的耳機." 基本上, 把這些東西準備好, 我們會需要用到它們. 好嗎.

"Take your seats." Basically means sit down, sit. Okay? So, he's trying to get organized,

"請坐下" 基本上表示坐下, 坐下. 好嗎? 所以, 他想讓大家準備好.

or she is trying to get organized.

或她想讓大家準備好.

Next, they'll say: "Take out your book. Turn to page 37." Means open your book, page 37,

接著, 他們會說:"拿出你的課本, 翻到第37頁." 表示翻開你的課本至第37頁.

let's start reading, working, etc.

開始閱讀, 做習題, 等等.

Now, if the teacher wants you to do things, but not alone. For example, if you're doing

現在, 如果老師要請你做一些事情, 但不是你獨自做. 例如, 如果你在做

math, yeah, you do it alone no problem. If you're doing ESL, the teacher will want you

數學, 沒錯, 你一個人做沒問題. 但如果你在做以英語為第二語言課程, 老師會希望你們

to work in pairs. It means two people together, so you can speak. "Work in groups", means

2人一組作業. 表示2人一起, 所以你們可以討論. "小組作業", 表示

get into a few people together; three, four, five.

一群人一起作業, 3人, 4人, 5人.

If he wants a specific number, he will say: "Get into groups of", or: "Work in groups

如果他要特定的組員數, 他會說:"以3人分為一組", 或:"

of three." So, you find your two friends, three sit together, do the exercise.

3人分為一組." 所以, 你會找2個朋友, 3個人坐在一起, 做習題.

Now, if the teacher... As everybody's talking, the teacher wants everybody be quiet and listen

現在, 如果老師要... 當大家在討論, 而老師希望大家安靜來聽

to one student, he will say or she will say: "Please pay attention to Jack. Jack is going

某位特定的學生說話, 他或她會說:"請大家注意Jack 這邊. Jack要

to speak. Everybody, please pay attention to Jack." Or if you're doing exercise, if

說話. 大家, 請注意Jack這邊." 或如果你們在做習題,

the teacher wants you to be careful about one word or one grammar structure: "Pay attention

而老師希望你們特別注意1個單字或1個文法:" 注意

to the independent clause." Means be very focused, be aware. Okay?

這個獨立片語." 表示你必續十分專注, 注意. 好嗎?

So, these are the basic things you need to know what... That your teacher will say. Now,

所以, 這些就是你基本上該知道老師會說的話. 現在

you're the student, you have questions or you don't understand something, what are you

你是一名學生, 你有疑問或你不了解某事, 你

going to say or what are you going to ask? Let's see.

應該要說什麼或你應該如何發問? 我們來看看.

Okay, so now, you're the student and, you know, sometimes you don't understand everything

好, 所以現在, 你是一名學生, 且你曉得, 有時你不會聽懂

the teacher says. So, there are things you can say or ask from the teacher, of course, to help you.

老師所說的話. 所以, 這些是你可以向老師說或問, 來幫你.

If you didn't hear something, what will you say? You could say: "I didn't catch the last part."

如果你沒有聽到某句話, 你可以說什麼? 你可以說:"我沒有聽到最後那句話."

Now, if you say: "I didn't hear", and I'm the teacher, I have been speaking for

現在, 如果你說:"我沒聽到", 而如果我是老師, 我已經講了

10 minutes, and you say: "I didn't hear." I'll say: "What? Everything? 10 minutes?"

10分鐘, 然後你說:"我沒聽到." 我會說:"什麼? 我剛剛10分鐘所說的你都沒聽到?"

I can't say again. So, "I didn't hear", or: "I didn't catch the last part." So, I will

我沒辦法再說一遍. 所以, 不要只說"我沒聽到" ,應該說"我沒聽到最後那句話." 那我就會

go back and say again the last part, or: "I didn't hear the part about what to ask." Or:

再說一遍剛剛最後所說的地方. 或說:"我沒有聽到你問的是什麼." 或

"I didn't hear the part about independent clauses", or whatever the lesson is about.

"我沒有聽到有關獨立片語的那段", 或是關於你那段課程有關的問題.

So, be specific. Tell the teacher which part you didn't hear. He or she will say it again.

所以, 問題要具體. 告訴老師你哪個部分你沒聽到. 他或她會在說明一遍.

Or you can just say: "Could you repeat that please?" Repeat, say again. If you didn't

或你可以就說:"你可以再說一遍剛剛的話嗎?" 重複, 再說一遍. 如果你沒有

hear: "Could you repeat that please? Could you say that again?" But again, say which

聽到:"你可以重複剛剛的話嗎? 你可以再說一遍剛剛的話嗎?" 但記得, 指定

part. Be specific.

重複的部分. 問題要具體.

Or: "I didn't hear/catch what you said after here." So, tell the teacher you heard everything

或說,"我沒有聽到從這個地方以後的部分." 所以, 告訴老師你聽到這地方以前的部分,

until here, and from here, you didn't hear, you didn't catch. "Catch" means hear or understand. Okay?

而從這地方以後的部分你沒有聽到, 沒有聽懂. "抓到" 在這裡表示聽到或了解. 好嗎?

And if you're having a lot of trouble, ask a teacher: "Can you please speak more slowly?"

如果你跟不上課程, 問老師:"可以放慢講課速度嗎?"

And the teacher will slow down, and it will be much easier for you to understand.

那老師就會放慢講課速度, 讓你比較容易能理解.

Okay, now, if you are learning something... And again, we're learning English and you're

好, 現在, 如果你正在學習某個東西...記得, 我們在學英語而你

not familiar with what the teacher says... It's something new or you don't really know

不熟悉老師所說的話...對你而言這是很新的或你不清楚的,

what it is, first of all, make sure you know how to spell the word. If it's a new word,

首先, 先確定你會拼這個字. 如果這是一個新的單字,

ask the teacher: "How do you spell that?" And the teacher will say: "S-p-e-l-l." Spell.

問老師:"這字要怎麼拼?" 那老師就會回答:"S-p-e-l-l." 拼字.

Okay? "How do you spell that?" Now, if you don't know the meaning of the word and the

好嗎?"這字要怎麼拼?" 現在, 如果你不知道這字的意思而

teacher just continues speaking, put up your hand, say: "I'm sorry. What does this word

老師就繼續講下去, 舉手問說:"不好意思. 剛剛這字

mean?" And the teacher will explain to you.

是什麼意思?" 那老師就會說明給你聽.

Now, if you're learning in another country, you're learning EFL, English as a foreign

現在, 如果你在其他國家學習, 你正在學習EFL, 以英語為外語課程,

language, you can say: "How do you say this word in your language?" If you're learning

你可以說:"如何用你們的語言說這個字?" 如果你在

in Japan: "How do you say 'spell' in Japanese?", "How do you say 'spell' in Spanish?", "How

日本學習:"你如何用日文說'拼音'?", "你如何用西班牙文說'拼音'?"

do you say 'spell'" in any language? And: "What is this word in Japanese?", "What is

"你如何用這個語言說'拼音'?" 而:"如何用日語說這個字?"

'spell' in Japanese?" So, these two basically mean the same thing.

"如何用日語來拼這個字?" 這2個基本上是相同的意思.

By the way, these marks means same as what was above, just so you know. What is the word

順帶一提, 這些符號表示跟上面一樣, 只是讓你知道. 如何用你們的語言說這個字?

in your language? If you're learning outside. If you're learning in Canada, for example,

如果你在國外學習. 例如你在加拿大學習.

and you say: "How do you say this word in Spanish?" I don't know. I don't actually speak

然後你問:"如何用西班牙文來說這個字?" 我不知道. 我不說

Spanish. I wish I spoke Spanish. I will learn one day, but for now, I don't. So, you have

西班牙文. 我希望我會說西班牙文, 我也會找時間來學, 但現在我不會. 所以, 你要

to be careful. Okay.

特別小心. 好嗎.

Finally, if you need a bit more information, you want the teacher to explain a little bit

最後, 如果你需要更多資訊, 你希望老師多解釋一點,

more, maybe you understand or you heard, but you're not really sure. So, you can always

或許你聽懂或聽到, 但不是很確定. 此時, 你可以

ask for more specifics. "Can you use this word in a sentence?" So, for example, you

問得更具體:"你可以用這個字造一個句子嗎?" 所以, 例如,你

heard the word, you understand the word, but you're not sure how it would fit in a sentence,

聽過這個單字, 也懂這字的意思, 但不知道如何放進句子裡,

how to use it. Ask. "Can you use...?" Like, for the teacher: "Can you please use this

如何用它. 問說"你可以用...?" 像問老師:"你可以用

word in a sentence so I can see how it works?" Or: "Can you give me", or: "Can you give us",

這字來造個句子讓我比較能理解如何使用它嗎?" 或說"你可以給我", 或"你可以給我們",

the class, "an example of this?" Okay?

表示班級,"一個例子嗎?" 好嗎?

So, for example, the teacher taught you about some new technology. You understand, but you

所以, 例如, 老師教了一種新的科技. 你了解了, 但你

want to see in real life what this means. So, you want examples of things that use this

想知道在真實生活中它代表的意思. 所以, 你想要一個在生活中實際應用這項科技的例子,

technology, so you ask.

那你就可以提問.

Now, this is everything you need to know, teachers, students entering the classroom,

現在, 這些是所以你應該知道的, 包括老師, 出席的學生,

but the most important thing you need to remember: if you don't understand something, ask. There's

但你需要記得最重要的事是: 如果你有不懂的地方, 就提問.

no such thing as a bad question or a stupid question, or you're not sure about. If you're

沒有爛問題或蠢問題, 或你不確定的事. 如果有事情你不確定,

not sure, ask. The teacher will be happy to tell you the answer. He or she will be happy

就提問. 老師會很開心能幫你解答問題. 他或她會很開心

to repeat a few times until you understand. I'm sure that other... Your classmates, other

去重複幾次他所說過的話直到你能理解. 我很確定其他人...你的同學, 教室裡的其他學生,

people in the class, they also have questions, but they are too shy to ask. You ask. You

他們也會有疑問, 但他們太害羞導致不敢提問. 你提問.

你得到解答, 那你就會進步. 好嗎?
