有一些額外的教材可以幫助你在練習你在這支影片中學到的英文。

But hey, let's head into the library and learn some English.

現在讓我們一起去圖書館學英文吧！

So welcome to the library, if you're learning English, books are one of the best things that you can use to help improve your English,

歡迎來到圖書館，如果你想學英文，書籍是可以幫助你英文進步的最好方式之一，

and libraries are really cool because they're free to you.

而且圖書館是真的很棒，因為你可以免費使用。

If you have a library card, here's mine right here, if you have a library card which is free, you can go to your local library and you can borrow a book.

我的圖書證就在這裡，如果你有免費的圖書證你可以去當地的圖書館借書。

When you first walk into a library you will see the front desk and there will be a librarian sitting at the front desk.

當你一走進圖書館，你會看到有圖書管理員坐在櫃檯。

I'm not a actually a librarian but fun fact, an interesting thing about Bob the Canadian, my mom is actually a librarian.

事實上我不是圖書館員，但有趣的是我的媽媽是一位圖書館員。

Anyways the front desk is where you will bring your books in order to check them out, or to sign them out.

無論如何，櫃台主要是讓你借還書和找書的地方。

So once you've gone through the library and you've found one or two books to read, this is the place where you would come to sign them out.

一旦你找到一到兩本想看的書，這是你可以借書的地方。

The librarian will have a little scanner and they'll "beep" the book for you.

圖書館員會有掃描器，他們會「掃描」你的書。

So in English we say "scan" or "beep" because it makes a beeping sound.

在英文中我們會說「scan」或 「beep」，都是掃描的意思，因為掃描時會有「嗶」的一聲。

They'll go "beep" and then that book will be registered under your name as being borrowed.

當掃描後，這本書將會用你的名字登記被借出。

I'm not sure if you can read this right here but it says "Book Return."

我不確定你是否可以看到這些字，這上面寫「還書」。

So this is a place where you could put a book in if you were returning it to the library.

所以如果你要還書，你可以把書放進這裡。

Maybe the librarian is not at their desk.

也許圖書館員剛好不在位子上。

You could return your book by putting it in the slot.

你可以把書放入投書箱裡來歸還你借的書。

Sometimes when you're going to return your book to the library, the library's closed.

有時候當你去圖書館還書時，圖書館是關門的。

But most libraries have a book drop off slot on the outside of the library.

但是大部分的圖書館外面都會有個投書箱。

And you can put your books in here to return them when the library is closed and you're not able to go inside.

當圖書館關門且你無法進去時，你可以把書投入這裡歸還你借的書。

So libraries have a number of different book sections.

圖書館有很多不同書籍的分類。

The section that I'm standing in front of here is called the "Fiction Section."

我現在站在「虛構小說區」的前面。

A fiction section has books that have been written by authors where they have made up the story.

小說區主要擺放作者撰寫虛構故事的書籍。

So they're not true stories, they're fictional stories.

它們不是真實的故事，它們是虛構的故事。

So if you think of books like "The Martian," or books like "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" they are fiction books and you would find those books in the fiction section.

所以如果你想要找的書像是《火星救援》、《銀河便車指南》這類的虛構故事，你可以在虛構小說區找到那些書。

Another section that the library will have is the "Non-Fiction Section."

圖書館裡有的另一個部分就是「非虛構小說區」。

So the non-fiction section is a great place to get books where you're just looking for information.

非虛構小說區是個很棒的地方，你可以找到你想要的資訊 。

For instance, maybe you wanted a book about the Prime Ministers of Canada, so you would come to the non-fiction section to find books about information like that.

舉例來說，也許你想要找有關加拿大總理大臣的書，你可以到非虛構小說區找到相關的內容。

In this area you'll also find books that are true stories, so biographies or auto-biographies,

在這個區域，你也會找到真實故事，像是傳記或自傳。

which are the stories of a person's life, stories that are true, as opposed to fiction where the stories are not true.

描述某人一生經歷的故事，這些故事都是真實發生的，相反地，虛構小說區就是編造的故事。

So this is the non-fiction section of the library.

這裡就是圖書館的非虛構小說區。

So over here in this corner is what's called the "Reference Section" and these are Encyclopedias.

在這個角落的就是「參考資料區」，然後這些是百科全書。

What's interesting with encyclopedias is not a lot of people use them anymore.

百科全書的有趣之處是不再有很多人使用它們了。

Most people use websites like Wikipedia or they use the internet to do their research,

大部分的人都會使用像維基百科的網站或是直接上網找資料。

but here we have a couple of encyclopedias where you could look up information if you needed to, but I think they're actually kind of old.

但是如果你有需要，這裡還有數本百科全書可以提供資料給你使用，但我覺得他們真的已經很老舊了。

So another part of the reference section is a place where you can find dictionaries.

另外一部份的參考資料區有很多字典。

And I wanted to show you this book shelf because what's really cool is right here there's a Japanese-English dictionary,

然後我想要和你分享這個書架，因為這裡有各種字典，日英字典、

a Chinese-English dictionary, and a Spanish-English dictionary, and a French-English dictionary,

漢英字典、西英字典，還有法英字典，

so sometimes at your local library you'll be able to find dictionaries that will help you learn words in different languages,

所以有時候你可以在圖書館裡找到幫助你學習不同語言的字典，

or to help you learn the English word for the language that you speak.

或是幫助你學習將自身語言的英文單字。

Another section of the library is the "Periodicals" or "Magazine Section." So this is an area where you would find monthly publications.

圖書館的另一個區域是「期刊」或是「雜誌區」，在這裡你可以找到月刊。

Magazines on different topics.

不同主題的雜誌。

If you wanted to learn about cows, if you wanted to learn how to build things or renovate your house,

如果你想知道乳牛相關知識、學習如何建造或是翻修你的房子，

this is the place where you would come to find a magazine that would tell you how to do that.

你可以在這裡找到相關雜誌告訴你怎麼做。

“..which is a monthly magazine which shows you how to build things you would come to the magazine…"

「這本月刊就會跟你分享如何建造東西 ... 」

Bob the Canadian is not very good at putting things on the shelf.

我不擅長把東西放在架子上。

Most libraries also have a “Kid's Section” where there are only children's books, so kids as well as adults are always welcome to go to the library to find a book to read.

大部分的圖書館會有只放童書的「兒童區」，所以圖書館總是歡迎成年人和小孩去找書閱讀。

So another nice thing about the library is that they have computers, and there's a couple of things that you can use these computers for.

圖書館的另一個優點就是有電腦，你可以使用電腦做很多事情。

You can use the computer to browse the internet, to look things up, or to check your email.

你可以用電腦上網瀏覽、查資料，或是檢查電子郵件。

But usually you can also use the computer at a library to look up where in the library you can find the book that you're looking for.

但是你也可以用圖書館的電腦找到你想要的書籍擺放在圖書館的哪個的位置。

So let's say you knew a specific book that you wanted to read, you could use the computer to look that book up and it would say it's in this section, under this author's name.

所以假設你想要閱讀某本書，你可以用電腦查那本書，它會告訴你這本書擺放的位置還有作者。

It's important when you're at the library to remember that you're supposed to be quiet.

當你在圖書館裡時，最重要的就是要保持安靜。

Shhhh! is something that we say in English to tell people that they're being too noisy.

噓！在英文中是用來告訴人們他們太吵了。

So hopefully when you're at the library no one says, “Shhh!” to you.

所以希望你在圖書館裡不會有人對你說：「噓！」

But generally in a library it's supposed to be a quiet place where people can study or people can read.

但一般來說圖書館應該是一個可以讓人們讀書的安靜的地方。

So try to keep it quiet.

所以盡量保持安靜。

So often times a library will have a reading area where you can sit and read a book, or a magazine, or a newspaper.

通常圖書館都會有個讀書區，你可以坐在那裡看書、看雜誌或是看報紙。

You don't always have to borrow a book to read it, you can go to the library,

你不用一定要借書才能讀，你可以去圖書館，

you can find a quiet place to sit and read, and you can read a book right at the library.

找個安靜的地方坐下來讀書，你可以就在圖書館看書。

If you're in a library at a University or College, they'll usually have a work area where you can study or do homework.

如果你在大學的圖書館，通常都有工作區你可以在那裡讀書或寫作業。

It'll usually have a power outlet so you can plug in a laptop or charge your phone,

那裡通常會有電源插座，所以你可以幫你的筆電或手機充電。

but going to the library while you're at University or College can be a nice quiet place to get some homework done.

在大學時期，圖書館是個很好且安靜的地方，你可以在那裡完成作業 。
