reaction to something. Now, you can use these to express your reaction to something positive

你對某件事的反應。你可以用這些來表達你對正面

or to something negative. And they're really easy, so follow with me, and before you know

或負面事情的反應，而且它們很簡單，所以跟著我，然後在你知道你已經會了之前，

it, you'll be able to use them yourself. Okay? Here we go.

你就可以自己使用它們了。OK 嗎？讓我們來吧。

So the words that we're going to use are words which are very basic, and you know them. They

我們要用的詞是非常基本的，而且你一定認識它們。它們是

are "what" and "how". But "what" we use with a noun, and "how" we're going to use with

"what" 和 "how"。但在 "what" 後面要接一個名詞，"how" 後面要接

an adjective. Okay? Now, remember: These are all ex -- sorry -- exclamations. They are

一個形容詞。OK 嗎？現在記住：這些都是感嘆句。它們是

exclamations. That means normally, we would have an exclamation mark at the end of this

感嘆句。意思是我們通常會加一個驚嘆號在這個

expression. Okay? Like this. Right? So what we can say is something like this,

語句的後面。OK 嗎？像這樣。是吧？所以我們可以說這樣的話：

"What a great singer!" Okay? So you see we're using "what" plus a noun, which is the word

「多麼棒的歌手阿！」OK 嗎？所以你可以看到我們使用 "what" 加一個名詞，就是

"singer". You can always use an adjective before that, but you must have a noun there,

「歌手」這個詞。你可以放形容詞在名詞之前，但你一定要有個名詞在那兒。

okay? You could also say, "What a singer!" which means he or she is a very good singer.

OK 嗎？你也可以說：What a singer! 來代表他或她是一位很棒的歌手。

All right? "What a talented actor!" "What a kind man!"

行嗎？「多麼有才華的演員啊！」「多麼善良的人啊！」

"What a beautiful view!" "What a gorgeous sunset!" "What an experience!" "What a surprise!"

「多麼漂亮的風景啊！」「多麼美麗的日落啊！」「多麼棒的經驗啊！」「真令人驚奇啊！」

Okay? So as you can see here, we used it to talk about people. Then, we used it to talk

OK 嗎？正如你所見，我們在這裡用它(what)來談論人物；然後，我們用它來談論

about places. And here, we use it to talk about an event or an experience, okay? So

地點；而在這裡，我們用它來談論一件事情或一個經驗，可以嗎？所以

you can use it in any kind of context, and you can use it in positive situations to express

你可以在任何一種情境下使用它，而且你可以在正面的情況下用它來表達

positive emotions, or we can also use it to express negative emotions. Let's look at some

正面的情緒，或我們也可以用它來表達負面的情緒。來看看

of these. "What a rude person!" "What horrible weather!"

其中一些吧。「多麼粗魯無禮的人啊！」「多麼糟糕的天氣啊！」

"What bad service!" "What a shame!" "What a disaster!" "What a day!" Or, "What nonsense!"

「多麼糟的服務啊！」「真可惜！」「真是場災難！」「真累的一天！」或「什麼廢話！」

Okay? So all of these are obviously negative situations, but all you're doing is you're

OK 嗎？所以很明顯地這些全部都是負面情況，但你所做的只是

using "what" plus a noun somewhere in that entire exclamation, okay? All right.

用 "what" 加一個名詞在這感嘆句的某處，可以嗎？好。

Now, how do we use "how"? With "how" we have to add an adjective. So we would say something

那我們要怎麼用 "how"？用 "how" 的時候我們要加一個形容詞，所以我們會說一些

like, "How wonderful!" Okay? So remember, this is your reaction or your response to

像是：「真棒阿！」OK 嗎？記住，這是你對於某件事物的

something that you see or hear, okay? Somebody says -- tells you something, and you answer,

反應或回應，OK 嗎？有人告訴你某件事，然後你回答

"How wonderful!" Perhaps someone says, -"I'm getting married next month." -"How wonderful!"

「真棒阿！」或許有人說：「我下個月就要結婚了」-「真棒阿！」

Okay? Or, -"We're going to Bermuda on our honeymoon." -"How romantic!" "How nice!" Okay?

可以嗎？或是：「我們要去百慕達度蜜月。」-「真是浪漫阿！」「真好阿！」OK 嗎？

Somebody describes something that happened, and you say, "How nice!" Or "How lovely!"

有人敘述一件已發生的事，而你說「多好阿！」或「真是可愛阿！」

It could be about someone's dress. Okay? Or -- very often, we say this when we see a baby

這可能是在講某人的衣著，OK 嗎？或者 -- 當我們看到一個嬰兒

or a child doing something very adorable -- we say, "How sweet!" Okay? So that's another

或小孩在做非常可愛的事情時，我們常這樣說 -- 我們會說「真可愛啊！」可以嗎？這就是另一種

little expression that's very common. As I said, you can also use "how" for negative

常見的表達方式。如同我剛剛說的，你也可以用 "how" 來表達負面的

emotions. So you could say, "How awful!" "How sad!" "How terrible!" "How frustrating!" Or,

情緒。所以你可以說「真是糟糕阿！」「真是令人難過阿！」「真是糟透了！」「真是令人失望阿！」或者，

"How tragic!" Okay? So we can use it in rather serious situations; we can use it in lighter

「真是令人悲痛阿！」OK 嗎？我們可以在有點正經的場合使用它，也可以在比較平常的

situations. And these are very, very common ways of expressing our reaction to news or

狀況下使用它。而這些是我們用來表達對消息或事件的反應非常非常普遍的方法。

to events, okay? So if you'd like to do a little more practice

可以嗎？如果你想要用它來做更多的練習，
