talk over/talk about/talk of/talk to/talk into/ talk out of 「談」什麼啊?
1. 基本文法說明 這六個動詞片語極為常見,且有著許多意思。以下是它們常見的意思。
Talk over是「討論」的意思,它針對的是「內容」,會朝細節、解決方法去做溝通、探討。
Talk about討論的就沒那麼深入,因為「about」本身就是「關於」的意思,故talk about是針對「主題」而做的討論。如:We are just talking about the plan. 意思是正在談起「關於」那個計畫的事情。
Talk to是「與某人講話」的意思,其內容多具「認真、嚴肅」的性質。可能是發生了什麼問題,或有什麼迫切的事。如:I need to talk to you.「我必須和你談一談。」
Talk of可當「談到」的意思,與speak of有相同的意思。如: Speaking of/ Talking of being athletic, I was on the school football team.
Talk into/talk out of這兩個動詞片語的意思恰巧相反。Talk into是「說服/勸某人做某事」,而talk out of是「說服/勸某人別做某事」。句型為「talk+某人+into+動名詞」與「talk+某人+out of+動名詞」。

B. The teacher is
talking to some common errors that we had
better avoid.(X)
C. Charlie is being

immediately. (X)
D.
Talking into Alex, do you know that he has made his way into a
prestigious graduate school? (X)
E. Her mother
told her of
keeping early hours. (X) 她媽媽說服她早睡早起。 解說:「Talk+人+out of+Ving」是「勸某人不要做某事」之意。而「Talk+人+into+Ving」意思恰相反,為「勸某人做某事」之意。錯誤例句中用「told+某人+of」除了介繫詞不正確外,其意思也不對。 |
1. 基本文法說明 Team有著「團隊」的意思,指的是為同一目標而在一起的一群「人」或「動物」,其內容不會是「事物」。 Group是指一個「組」,它的內容沒有特別的限制。如在課堂上討論或做實驗時分的「組」,或指一群人a group of people。 Set是一個集合,其組成分子都有相同的特質。如a set of poker cards一副撲克牌。

A. Irene has confidence in
making her school volleyball group.(X)
B. The ball rolled toward a
set of trees. (X)
C. Mom bought a
team of cutlery for Helen as a birthday

Style指的是「風格」的意思。如,What kind of architectural style do you prefer? (你喜歡哪一種建築風格?)

1. 基本文法說明 Though當連接詞,表「雖然、儘管」之意,這時候它與although意思、用法均相同,唯though在英文口語中較為常見,須特別注意的是,在同一個句子中,連接詞although與though不可和but連用。
此外,though也可當副詞,意思是「可是、不過」,用來表達與上文的關聯。如,Biochemistry is difficult. It is a promising study, though. 生物化學不容易。不過它是一項熱門的學科。

but she works hard to get a high score.(X) B. A lot of people want to be rich. Few of them achieve their goals, although.(X) 很多人想要變得有錢。但是,只有少數人達到他們的目標。
3.
錯誤修正及解釋正確的句子如下:
B. A lot of people want to be
rich. Few of them achieve their goals, although.(X)
很多人想要變得有錢。但是,只有少數人達到他們的目標。 Though當連接詞時,與although同義,同交替使用,唯前者在英文口語中較出現頻率高於後者。但though也可當副詞,作「可是、不過」之意,此時則不能以although替代,因為although「只能」當連接詞。 |
triumphant/victorious/successful「成功」的細微差別!
1. 基本文法說明 Successful是用來形容人或事情很成功,意即「有達到想要的結果」。 Triumphant,帶有種伴隨成功而來的「洋洋得意」的感覺。 Victorious是由名詞「victory」而來,意思是「勝利的」。 Victorious的成功是由「贏得某個戰爭、比賽」榮耀而來。
