祈使句型

歡迎各位再次來到 Lucy 的英語教室

to 不定詞

English with Lucy. Today I want to talk to you

The first one and a lot of you might know.

This one is what the British call "football"

Now of course we will understand each other,

當然，這兩種說法我們通常都聽懂

but it can get confusing because Americans have

但有時還是會搞混，因為在美國

"American football", which is a completely different game.

有美式足球，這個和「足球」是完全不一樣的

But the Americans call them "chips". It's even

more confusing when we get on to number three

這樣反而更容易混淆了，為什麼呢？

because what Americans call "french fries" we then call  "chips".

因為，這也是第三個要討論的，美國人說的 french fries，我們英國人會說 chips

So french fries for Americans and chips for the British

french fries 之於美國；chips 之於英國

第四，「長褲」的英式說法為 trouser

Americans call "pants". However it gets even

接下來又更讓人傻傻分不清了，怎麼說呢？

number five, what Americans call "ｕnderwear"

因為來到第五個「內褲」，美國人所稱的 underwear

英國人則稱為 pants；對美國人來說

are trousers, something you wear over your underwear.

pants 就是 trouser，穿在內褲外的褲子

For us, petrol is the liquid petroleum that you put

對英國人來說，petrol 是汽車所使用的汽油

into your car, and Americans call this "gas".

Yes, it's confusing because gas for us only refers to

沒錯，令人混淆的點就在這， 對英國人來說，gas 指的是

Something neither a solid nor liquid—a gas.

For the British, we refer to one of these

英國人稱這個為 biscuit (相當於 Chips Ahoy 奇寶巧克力餅乾)

as a biscuit and Americans call it a cookie.

For us, the compartment in the back the car is

called a boot, which is also a word that can

Number nine, what we call a "jumper" Americans

will call a "sweater". So make sure you remember

美國人則稱為 sweater，所以請你記下

both of these ones. So this for me is a jumper

but for Americans, it would be a sweater.

Number ten, "high school" versus "secondary school"

In Britain we call the final school that you attend "secondary school".

在英國我們稱高中為 secondary school，也就是義務學制的最後階段

But in America they call it "high school".

但在美國，他們稱之為 high school

Alright guys, that's it for today. I hope you learned something new.

好的，今天就先到這裡。希望你們受益良多
