#EZTALK #你不知道的美國大小事
美國生活用語:The Red Vegetables 跟紅色有關的蔬菜🥕
你知道叫某人 a ginger 是什麼意思嗎?
來看看今天的美國生活用語就會知曉~
ps. 絕對不是很辣的意思喔
1⃣ (sb.) a carrot-top
2⃣ (sb.) a ginger
3⃣ as red as a beet
--
You may have noticed that there are some bright-colored vegetables out there. It shouldn’t be surprising, therefore, that some of these vegetables would be used in descriptive idioms.
你或許有注意到,有些蔬菜的顏色特別亮眼,不過這其實沒什麼好意外的,而不免俗地,這些蔬菜當然也出現在美語中。
Carrots, for example. 1⃣ If you were to call someone a carrot-top, what would that mean? It would mean they have red hair! You may be thinking, “But aren’t carrots more orange than red? This is true, but lots of redheads have hair that’s more orange then red, and they’re still called “redheads,” right? There’s even a famous American comedian called Carrot Top (his real name is Scott Thompson). Ex: Our two sons are blond, but our daughter is a carrot-top.
拿 carrot 紅蘿蔔來說,如果你叫某人 carrot-top「紅蘿蔔頭」是什麼意思呢?就是在說他們有頭紅髮!你或許會想:「可是紅蘿蔔是橘色,不是紅色的啊?」是沒錯,但實際上許多紅髮人的髮色與其說是紅色更多是橘色,可他們還是被叫 redhead「紅髮」,是吧?甚至有個知名美國喜劇人就叫 Carrot Top(他的真名是史考特湯普森)。例句:Our two sons are blond, but our daughter is a carrot-top.(我們兩個兒子雖然是金髮,但我們女兒是紅髮。)
2⃣ What if you call someone a “ginger”? It also means they’re a redhead! If you cook with ginger, you may wonder why the word has this meaning. After all, ginger root has more of a yellow or brown color. On the other hand, things like gingerbread men and candied ginger both have a reddish-brown color. But the real answer lies in the ginger plant, which has bright red flowers. Worth mentioning is that some people may consider the term “ginger” offensive, so be careful when using it. Ex: Why are there so many gingers in Ireland?
要是你叫某人ginger呢?也是在說他們有頭紅髮!如果你有用薑煮菜的習慣,你就會很好奇,為什麼ginger會有這一層意思,畢竟,薑再怎麼樣不是黃色就是褐色,不過薑餅人或薑糖的外表倒是紅褐色的。不過,真正的答案,其實是在薑這個植物本身:因為薑花是亮紅色的。值得注意的是,有些人會認為ginger這個字有歧視意味,所以使用時務必小心。如:Why are there so many gingers in Ireland?(為什麼愛爾蘭有這麼多紅頭髮?)
Finally we have the beet. You probably know that beets are red, but they’re even redder when you cut them open, and the juice is even redder still. 3⃣ So if you say someone is “red as a beet,” it means they’re very red. The phrase is most often used to describe someone who is flushed with embarrassment, but can also describe a person who is red from heat or sunburn. Ex: Tommy turned red as a beet when the girl kissed him.
最後我們來談甜菜。你大概知道甜菜是紅色的,當你把甜菜切開,裡面更紅,而用它們做成的果汁更紅!所以,如果你說某人red as a beet「紅得跟甜菜一樣」,表示他們真的很紅。這個片語常用來形容某人因尷尬而臉紅的樣子,也能形容晒傷後的皮膚。如:Tommy turned red as a beet when the girl kissed him.(女孩親了湯米之後,他的臉紅得像甜菜一樣。)

「每日英文閱讀分享#011」
今天跟大家分享一個常見字「contain」,
contain 就是 v. 包含
container 就是 n. 容器
有什麼好講的拉~~~
但是其實contain還有另一個很正式的用法跟包含一點關係都沒有,甚至有點相反的意思。
「contain」:If you contain something, you control it and prevent it from spreading or increasing—Collins Dictionary
例句:More than a hundred firefighters are still trying to contain the fire at the plant.—Collins Dictionary
另一個跟情感面較為相關的意思是:If you cannot contain a feeling such as excitement or anger, or if you cannot contain yourself, you cannot prevent yourself from showing your feelings.-Collins Dictionary
例句:He was bursting with curiosity and just couldn't contain himself.—Collins Dictionary
大家可以分辨看看在本文當中的contain是什麼用法?
原文:For example, to help contain the coronavirus, Alipay and WeChat worked with the Shanghai government to develop a QR tracking system that was adopted by 10 million users in just six weeks.
今天例句從Collins Dictionary擷取,也是一個我很愛用的字典,如果寫一篇字典比較,大家會有興趣嗎?留言告訴我~~

時間碼
00:00:12 surpass 超越
00:00:45 abduct 綁架
00:01:51 lentil 扁豆
00:02:31 administration 某政府團隊
00:03:30 留言測驗
00:03:41 IG 監察長
00:05:04 簡單複習
第一個單字是surpass、s-u-r / p-a-s-s、surpass 超越,例句是: Brazil has surpassed U.K. in coronavirus deaths.
巴西疫情很嚴重,死亡數來到全球第二高。原本第二高的是英國,現在巴西超越英國了。超越就是 surpass。
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-06-12/covid-boom-in-brazil-far-bigger-than-data-shows-study-finds
第二個單字是 abduct、a-b / d-u-c-t、abduct 綁架,例句是:Zimbabwean activists are abducted and sexually assaulted.
接下來看辛巴威。這個非洲國家的人權問題很嚴重。你如果參與民主抗議,可能會被綁架虐待!最近就有三名女性抗議人士,被綁架、虐待、性侵,身心狀況非常慘。我個人相信,八成是政府幹的壞事,因為辛巴威現任的總統,外號是「鱷魚」,行為非常殘暴。極權政府,是可以這樣殘暴、這樣虐待人民的。
身在台灣的我們,很幸福,一定要持續監督政府、保護民主。綁架就是 abduct。
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/17/zimbabwean-mdc-activists-abducted-and-sexually-assaulted
第三個單字是 lentil、l-e-n / t-i-l、lentil 扁豆,例句是:Lentils have the third-highest level of protein of any plant-based food.
轉換一下心情,吃豆子也可以長肌肉,你知道嗎?Lentil 扁豆這種豆子,在國外就蠻受歡迎的喔~它長得扁扁的,有至少 3 種顏色,可以變成很多料理喔~要在台灣吃到,可以找土耳其餐廳,應該就吃得到 lentil 扁豆了喔
https://www.wellandgood.com/good-food/how-much-protein-do-lentils-have/
第四個單字是 administration、a-d-m-i-n-i-s-t-r-a-t-i-o-n、administration 某政府團隊,例句是:The Trump administration will remove nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ people.
美國的健保法規定,面對病人時,禁止性別歧視,結果川普政府說:喔,這條規定啊,跟同性戀、跨性別無關,如果有一個病人是同性戀或是跨性別,然後因此被歧視,「sorry,這條法律不保護你。」
哎呀,川普政府一直秀下限啊,川普政府就是 Trump administration。來考考你,「蔡英文政府」應該如何翻譯呢?留言練習、活用一下吧!敘述欄第一行有留言連結喔~
https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/06/12/868073068/transgender-health-protections-reversed-by-trump-administration
最後一個單字是 IG、IG 監察長,例句是:Pompeo blasts former IG in letters.
IG 不就是 instagram 嗎?是沒錯,但如果在美國政治新聞中,IG 可能是指 inspector general 監察長。什麼是監察長?我們用台灣的政府聊聊,比較好理解。
台灣有監察院嘛,監察院就是個政府小管家,它的工作就是拿著放大鏡,盯著各個政府單位,有沒有濫用職權、有沒有「黑白來」。美國的 IG(監察長)就是這樣的角色啦~美國的「司法部」會派好多 IG,負責監督各個政府部門,當小管家。
最近川普 fire 很多 IG,他說這些 IG 太無能了、行為怪怪的什麼的。但實際上,可能是這些 IG 在調查川普政府的醜聞跟弊案,於是就被川普趕走了。IG 就是監察長,不過,唸出來的時候,比較常唸完整的 inspector general。
