最近新聞裡出現了許多關鍵字,
作秀即 publicity stunt。 表面意思是「宣傳特技」,可見作秀也是需要技術的!選舉如作戰,策略、心計缺一不可,這時作秀的現象就會如雨後春筍般冒出,「作秀」的定義是「用媒體等途徑宣傳提高自身知名度」。
得到神啟 / 媽祖托夢「得到神啟」即 receive divine revelation / inspiration。 divine 表「神聖的、天賜的」之意,而 revelation 指「天啟、神示」、inspiration 是「靈感」。這樣句型分解下來,是不是很好記呢?
發大財Wish sb. prosperity! / May sb. be prosperous! 現任高雄市長韓國瑜接受質詢時,說了數次「高雄發大財」,故最近「發大財」三字不斷佔據各大網站平台。形容詞 prosperous 是「繁榮、富足」之意,名詞為 prosperity、動詞為 prosper。以上兩種說法也都適用於過年祝賀別人「恭喜發財」。
跳針 / 鬼打牆即 repeat oneself。 「跳針」或是「鬼打牆」指人不斷重複同樣的話,所以英文用「重複自己的話」表示。
英文口說:講出清晰架構 (IELTS Speaking Part 3 Trick: Outstanding Organization) 接地氣即 down-to-earth。 形容公眾人物「務實又親民」,與一般民眾沒有距離感。
補充:英文裡說的 grassroots 指「草根」,也就是「平民老百姓」。 抓住模仿精髓!Ryan Higa教你一秒變好萊塢影星 (How To Act Like Your Favorite Actors) 每天都有新詞彙或用語產生,而我們學語言可以和生活結合,會更有趣味!歡迎大家留言告訴小 V 你們想知道的時事關鍵字! 迫不及待想馬上開始練習嗎?快打開 VoiceTube App 練英文!✦ 立即下載 >>> https://bit.ly/myenglishissogood 英文單字不要硬背! 藉由 VoiceTube App 看影片,不會的單字反覆聆聽,加上單字測驗練習,聽寫齊下,立刻熟記! 文/ Liang-Chun Chen 珍藏特展珍藏特展 建築排排站建築轉轉樂天地宮安平追想1661 工藝大冒險原住民儀式原住民服飾目錄導覽聯合目錄 快速關鍵詞導覽主題分類典藏機構進階搜尋成果網站資源成果網站資源庫 教育學習學術研究創意加值工具與技術服務技術體驗 關鍵詞標示工具線上藝廊時間廊關於我們計畫簡介關於本站如何利用本站資源著作權聲明隱私權聲明資源公開說明網站地圖 數位典藏與數位學習國家型科技計畫 Taiwan e-Learning & Digital Archives Program, TELDAP The Mazu Pilgrimage—A Birthday Fit for a Goddess 難度 收藏文章 迪士尼有小美人魚,我們有「海上女神」—馬祖>> 【英文感謝用語大全】從「表達感謝」到「回覆感謝」一次學會! 深入台灣 Chris, Antony 收聽本篇文章講解 ▶
Taiwan has many religious festivals. Some are short and simple. Others may involve a little food and music. Then there’s the Mazu Pilgrimage, which lasts over a week, covers hundreds of kilometers, and draws thousands of pilgrims. source: WEI LING CHANG / Shutterstock.com The Mazu Pilgrimage is like an enormous birthday celebration for Mazu, who is known as the “Goddess of the Sea.” Featured in countless myths and legends, Mazu is believed to be a girl from a small fishing village in Fujian. Legend has it that she used her spiritual powers to rescue her family members when their boat was caught in a typhoon. No wonder she is viewed as the guardian of fishermen! source: Jutinan Jujinda / Shutterstock.com So why is there a long pilgrimage on land in her honor? Several hundred years ago, a family of settlers moved from Fujian to what is now the city of Taichung. They brought a statue of Mazu with them and later a temple was built around it. Every 12 years, worshippers would take the statue back to its original home in Fujian. However, when Taiwan was under Japanese rule, travel across the Taiwan Strait was blocked. As an alternative, the worshippers picked a river port temple within Taiwan as a destination. The pilgrimage has grown in popularity over the years and today is an important aspect of Taiwanese folk religion. 媽祖遶境尋根溯源 >> 臺灣登山熱:全民一起瘋登山 The Mountains Are Calling (上) 這項臺灣的傳統歷久不衰。 臺灣有許多宗教節慶。有的歷時不長、儀式簡單。其他則牽扯到一些食物和音樂。然後就是為期超過一個星期、行經距離長達數百公 單字片語整理Words in Use● n. . 海峽;(常指因缺錢而有的)困境(此意恆用複數) Practical Phrases● No wonder the remote doesn’t work.
