英語教室第四集







上次的謎語被聰明的雅雲猜出來囉,答案就是secret,秘密!



今天要介紹的單字是ear,這個單字想必大家都認識,就是耳朵啊~~爲什麼要介紹這個單字呢?是因為初來Iowa的時候聽到的.這邊的玉米爆多,而玉米的穗就是用ear這個字(因為以前從來沒有再課本上學過這個簡單單字,所以也從來不知道他還有別的意思).所以老師問了我們一個問題[What has an ear but can't hear?]答案就是corn囉!



既然學了這個簡單單字,就順便學學兩個常用的片語吧.一個就是up to one's ear,意思就是熱中於什麼事情.I'm up to my ears in games.就是(像我)超愛打電動的意思囉!



至於play it by ear就是伺機而動,隨機應變的意思.[He plays his negotiations by ear, going into them with no clear or fixed plan.]他對協商沒有既定的計畫, 完全是隨機應變





今天要問的問題是[What doesn't has a question but you must to answer?]什麼東西沒有問題但是卻要你回答?很簡單喔..猜猜看吧!!
