Hi. James from www.engvid.com. I'd normally be reading, but I'm putting my finishing touches.

嗨，我是James 。我通常會在閱讀，可是我還在做最後的修改

to 不定詞

Our expensive prop department -- "props" are things you use in movies to demonstrate things, or

我們費用浩大的道具組..."props"是你在電影中用來演示的東西，或是

a "prop" might be a marker or a pen or a car.

"prop"有可能是一支馬克筆、一支筆或是一台車

Our prop department is so poor I had to draw a hat on a box, but it will help demonstrate the 3 tricks to learn English.

我們的道具組太窮了以至於我要自己在盒子上畫一頂帽子，不過它可以用來示範3個學英文的訣竅

Now, there are three little tricks that you can do

and even better, you can do with a friend -- to learn English. So you can actually have partner practice.

更好的是你可以和朋友一起學習英文，你就有夥伴可以練習

We haven't really discussed this much here, but why not? I mean probably,

我們沒在這邊討論過這麼多，但是為什麼不? 我的意思是，

you may not go to an English school, so you don't have anyone but your friend who is probably

你可能不會去英語學校，所以可能剛好跟你一起再觀賞的朋友，你沒有其他人可以一起

watching with you right now. So here are three quick little tricks you can do, and the beauty

學習，因此這裡有三個快速的小技巧你可以試試，而且更好的

of these are - they're going to help you with, No.1, vocab -- vocabulary. Okay? No.2, we're

是它們將能幫助你的 1.字彙    2.我們要

going to work on prepositions. And No. 3, we'll work on structure of English. How's that?

用在介系詞的部份。   還有第3個，我們要用在英文的結構。

You paid nothing, and you're getting lots. And the best thing is they'll all be

你不用付出什麼但你可以獲益良多。最棒的是它們通通

fun -- fun. Cough, there. All right. First thing we're going to talk

很有趣。好!第一件事 我們要講的是

about is a hat trick. In hockey, a "hat trick" is three things: You score three goals. One,

一個帽子的小把戲。在打曲棍球時，"hat trick"是三件事：你打進三球。一，

two, and three, just like in English football or European football. Three goals is a

二，三，就像是英式足球或歐洲足球。三次進球就叫

hat trick. Don't know why they call it that, but that's what they call it. Our hat trick is

帽子把戲。不知道他們未甚麼這麼稱它，但他們就是這樣叫它。帽子把戲

called a "hat pull", "hat pull". What's a "hat pull"? Well, you learn your vocabulary,

叫"hat pull"。什麼是"hat pull"?你學習單字，

and there's lots and lots of vocabulary. Every day something new. Even when I said things

有很多很多的單字，每天都有新的。甚至當我提及

like "hat trick" in this very lesson, there are probably three vocabulary words that you

"hat trick" 在這個單元裏，有可能會出現三個新單字是你

hadn't heard before, that you had to go, "What does he mean?", and I taught you. But

未曾聽過的，然後你就會想：「他講的是什麼意思?」，我已經教過你了。但是

wouldn't it be cool if you had a fun trick to play? A lot of people play flash cards,

你不覺得如果你能玩個有趣的把戲很酷嗎?有很多人玩 flash cards，

you know, they get a card. They put the meaning of the word. They turn it over and try and

他們拿一張卡然後再上面寫上一個字的詞意，然後把它翻過去然後試著去

remember. This is a variation that a friend taught me. It's quite fun. What you do is,

記起來，這是一個朋友教我的一種變化    真的很有趣!   而你要做的是，

take your hat, okay? Learn five, ten, words -- 20 even. When you learn them or think you

拿出你的帽子，學習5個，10個甚至20個單字。當你還在學習或是你覺得你

know them, put them in the hat. And you and a friend can then put your hand in the hat

認識這些單字了，將它們放到帽子裡，接著你跟你的一位朋友可以把手伸進帽子裡

and take out the word, and then say something like "philosophy". And the other person has

抽出一張單字卡，然後念出上面的字，然後另一個人

to say, "It's this word. It means this." If they get it right, then they can put their

說:沒錯是這個字 如果他們答對了，那麼就換他伸手

hand in, take out another vocabulary word, and go, "What's this word?" And you can keep

到帽子裡，拿出另一個單字，然後繼續問「這是什麼字?」然後你們就可以持續

playing to help master vocabulary. Cool, right? You're having fun, you're challenging each

玩遊戲來增加詞彙量。酷吧? 你們可以一邊玩一邊挑戰對方，

other. Collect cards. See who wins the game. Or if you're doing it by yourself, just pull

收集卡片然後看看誰贏了遊戲。如果你自己玩的話，那就

it out, turn it over, and try and think of what is the word that's in your hand. It helps

拿出卡片翻過來，然後想看看在你手上的這是什麼字，這能

to "jog your memory", which is an idiom that means to help you remember or reminds you

"jog your memory"，這個片語是指幫助你記憶或是提醒你

of the meaning of words. You can play it with one friend, two friends, three friends. That's

單字的意思，你可以跟一個朋友、兩個朋友或是三個朋友一起玩，

kind of cool, right? You can even do it in a classroom. Suggest it for your teacher.

這真是有點酷，對吧?你甚至可以在教室裏玩、建議你的老師

Go, "Hey, can we play the hat game?" "The hat game? Son, you're too young to play the

「嘿，我們可以玩帽子把戲嗎?」「帽子遊戲?孩子，你還太小不能玩」

hat game." You go, "No, Pops, it's a good game." Just get a hat and some paper or tissue

然後你就說，「不，爸，這是個好的遊戲」然後拿一個帽子和一些紙張或是衛生紙

paper. Hee hee hee. Sorry. Moving on. Next one: I got the hat pull, and you'll see

(嘻嘻嘻)抱歉我們繼續，下一個：hat pull，你將看到

it goes to this one. This is really long: "random sentence generator". And it seems

它接到這裡，這個很長："隨機的組成句子"，然後它看起來

like it's really, really hard. I mean, this one we worked on vocabulary, right? Building

好像非常非常困難，我指的是，我們把這個用來學單字，是吧?建立

our vocabulary, remembering our vocabulary. The second trick, the "random sentence generator"

我們的詞彙量、還有記憶單字。第二個技巧是，"random sentence generator"

-- I just had to say it twice because it sounds so nice. Well, random sentence. You can use

我剛剛講了兩次因為他聽起來很棒。隨機造句，你可以

this game to go to this game to make it more complicated or -- and "complicated" means

用這個遊戲來玩另一個遊戲然後把它變的更複雜，"complicated" 指

"difficult" -- you can just simply play it by itself. Take a word -- random. Okay, there's

"difficult(困難的)"你也可以簡單一點的一次只玩一種。隨機的挑一個字，譬如

a word, "random". Now, "generate" means "to create or make". Make a sentence like that

"random"， "generate"意思是"創造或是做"，造一個句子像是

-- random. "He randomly created a sentence from nothing." Right? Yeah, I just took this

random。"他隨意的從無到有的造出一個句子"對嗎? 我選了這個

word and I just made it. I could say, "develop": "In order to develop your mind you have to

字而且我也造了句子。我也可以選"develop(開發)" ：為了開發你的心靈，你必須要

read many books." I'm going really quickly because I want you to understand that when

閱讀很多的書籍。 我會講的很快因為我想要你能夠明白

you do it randomly, it has to be quick. You can't say "blah, blah, blah" very slowly.

當你在隨機造句的時候，要非常迅速，你不能"blah, blah, blah"講的很慢

The whole thing is: speed. This will help you with English structure because if you

全部的關鍵是：速度，這可以有助於你的英語結構如果你

say it incorrectly, you or your friend will actually notice it and try and correct it.

講錯了，你或你朋友就會發現並且糾正你

What's the structure? Why can't you put "random" here or there? Is it a verb? Is it an adjective?

什麼是結構?為何你不能把"random" 放在這或那?這是動詞嗎?這是形容詞嗎?

What is its purpose in a sentence when you're making the sentence? So by quickly and randomly

當你在造句時，它在這句子裡的目的是什麼?所以藉著快速地、隨機地

-- remember, "random" means "without structure"; it just happens -- making the sentence up

去記憶，"random" 意指 "without structure(沒有結構的)" 它就發生了  造句時

from the words you have or the vocabulary word, you'll understand its position or its

用你有的字或是詞彙，你就會明白它所存在的位置或

job in structure in a sentence. You like that? And if you put it with this one here, the

他在句子結構裡的作用，喜歡嗎? 而且如果你把它跟這個放一起

"hat pull", it's fun for the whole family. All right. I've got one more for you. This

"hat pul"，全家人都會覺得很好玩，我再舉一個例子，

one says, "Look at me now!"  Why is that? A lot of people have trouble with prepositions,

"Look at me now!" 有很多人對於介系詞感到困擾

and English people use prepositions everywhere. We even put prepositions

而英語系國家的人非常隨意的用介系詞，我們甚至把介系詞

in places we ought not to, okay? Oops. Did I just say "ought not to"? There we go. We

放在我們不需要的地方，oops.我剛剛是講了"ought not to"嗎? 開始吧，我們

call them dangling modifiers or whatnot. What we want to do with this, with "look at me

稱它們為懸掛的修詞 諸如此類，"look at me

now" is while you're in the middle of something, just stop yourself, and in the language -- or

now" 當你在某事當中，停下來，然後在其他語言方面或是英文

English, in this case -- you're trying to learn, just stop, and in English try and tell

在此情形下，你試著去學習，試著用英文告訴

yourself what you're doing. "Right now, I am teaching." That's too easy. How about this:

自己你在做甚麼，"我正在教學"太簡單了，這個如何：

"I am in a room -- there's my preposition -- teaching." I am standing on the second

"我在一個房間裡教學"，"我站在二樓"

floor." Other preposition, "on". "And we are at --" See, you keep going on and on. Just

另一個介系詞"on"，"而且我們在..." 你一直不斷的在進行

use your prepositions, but just do it for what are you doing now. It's great. You can

只要利用介系詞，不過只要用在你正在做的事就好，你可能

be sitting in the toilet -- I'm sitting on the toilet in the bathroom. No, I'm not. If

正坐在馬桶上，我正坐在浴室的馬桶上。不，我沒有，

the camera moves around, you'll notice it's a classroom. There's no toilet imagery, okay?

如果攝影機四處拍攝，你會發現這裡是間教室，沒有馬桶

But I can use it to work on my prepositions. You can use it for other things, you know,

但我可以用在介系詞上，你也可以用在別的地方，

verbs and adjectives, working them into sentences, saying what are you doing now. "I am speaking

動詞和形容詞，把它們變成句子，說說你正在幹麻，"我講話

very slowly." When you use a modifier to show the speed of my speech, right? And I can do

講得很慢" 當你用修詞表示我講話的速度， 我也可以

that for other things. Cool? "You are learning very quickly." Got the modifier. You like

用在其他東西， "你學的非常快" 有發現修詞嗎?

that? So this can be used for prepositions specifically, but you can turn around and

特別可以預再介系詞，但你也可以反過來說

say, "What am I doing now?" Or, "look at me now" and then use, you know, describe it in

：「我現在在做甚麼?」或「看著我」然後盡可能的用英文描述

English as best you can -- pick a subject or an area you want to talk about, like my

選一個你想要聊的主題或一個範圍，像是

verbs, my adjectives, my prepositions, or idioms, and then quickly try and use them

動詞、形容詞、介系詞或片語，然後盡快試把他們用上

in the moment. It will help you master the language, and that's what I mean, actually

這將使你更精進這個語言，這就是我想要表達的，事實上

master the language. Well, I have given you three tricks -- a hat

精進語言，我要給你三個技巧-一個帽子

trick, so to speak. Okay? Mr. E has helped out, of course, with the hat pull, remember?

把戲， E先生幫忙帽子的抽籤 記得嗎?

Put words in a hat. Pull them out. It can be vocabulary. You can pick the type of vocabulary

將單字們放進一個帽子然後再抽出一個來，有可能會抽到單字，你能挑選詞彙的類型

-- specific vocabulary, whatever. You can use the random sentence generator, take these

像是具體的詞彙，不管怎樣，你能隨機組成句子，用這些

same words, and have to make a sentence. When you really get advanced, and this is when

相同的字，再去造一個句子，慢慢的你就會進步，使你

you really master the language, you can use two or three random words and put them in

能更精通語言，你可以用兩個或三個隨機單字

one sentence. It's really cool, and it's really difficult. I've done as much as ten, but I'm

造一個句子，真的很棒，而且會有一點困難，我已經可以一次使用多達10個單字，不過

a native speaker. How many can you do? And then "look at me now". What are you doing now?

這是我的母語。你可以用多少單字?然後"look at me now(現在看著我)"  你正在做什麼?

You're watching me. Where are you watching me? "I am in my living room watching you in

你正在看著我， 你在哪裡看我? "我在客廳裡看你在YouTube裡面

YouTube? On You -- on EngVid?" Which one is it? In or on? Figure it out, right? Speaking

YouTube上? 在 Engvid上?" 哪一個才對? In還是On?找出來!

of which, I'm sorry, it's time for me to go. But I've given you three cool tricks. You

說到這，歹勢，時間差不多了，不過我已經給你三個很讚的技巧，你
