不小心吃太飽的潔西真的是吃飽撐著,發發廢文,心情太差也沒力氣做影片。做自己就好了:剛剛一把新買的洋裝標籤剪掉後馬上發現,怎麼會?!拿錯尺寸了。我要的是 S ,試穿過兩次,為什麼我買回家的會是 M ? 然後想到,因為我試穿完後又去比較同樣款式但是布不一樣,所以花色整體不同,應該是在比的時候不小心拿到 M 號,因為後來只看衣架上是 S,但是實際衣服沒有去翻看吊牌,結果是 M 號掛在 S 號衣架 上吧?
怎麼辦?認了啊,剪標籤了就不能退了,為什麼我沒有再剪標籤發現?這就是潔西吧?今天心情異常差。昨天下午坐公車回家的時候看新聞就看到哭出來,很氣。因為不知道大家有沒有關心新聞,美國有一個黑人被白人警察用膝蓋壓在脖子上,有七八分鐘,然後他跟警察說我不能呼吸,警察還是不理他,最後他就死了。影片在新聞中都有播出部分。看到氣到掉眼淚的是 Mississippi 密西西比的市長幫警察說話,說 “If you say you can’t breathe, you’re breathing." 「假如你說你不能呼吸,你正在呼吸。」意思說,假如你都可以說出你不能呼吸這樣的話表示你還活著,你能呼吸,不是不能呼吸。這什麼狗屁理論。然後有一個在 Reddit 上的留言寫說 Certified physical restraint trainer here, 20 years experience. We teach that the opposite of this ignorant comment is true. Research into asphyxiation deaths during physical restraint show that this is actually the most common statement a person makes before dying. 認證的肢體約束訓練者在這裡,二十年的經驗。我們教這個無知評論的相反才是真的。研究在肢體約束窒息致死的案例中發現,這是最常見的一個人在死亡前說的話。
美國現在除了新冠病毒之外,很多地方對於種族歧視這件事開始抗議示威遊行,甚至有些抗議者變成暴民 riots,放火燒警局,趁機洗劫商店 looting 。跟警察之間造成衝突,剛剛看最新新聞是有兩個人因此死亡了。真的是太悲慘了。因為這件事還有另外有一個白人女生在中央公園遛狗,被一個在賞鳥的黑人要求讓狗帶上鏈條,惱羞成怒?當黑人對著她攝影的時候,她一直叫他放下手機,最後開始威脅說你再不放下我要打電話報警了,然後就報警說有個 African American 美籍非洲人,也就是黑人對她跟她的狗造成生命威脅,謊報,要警察趕快去,然後現在已經被因為是種族歧視被開除了,道歉中一點悔意都沒有。White supremacy 白人至上主義又被川普推到新高點吧?
先前害死黑人的白人警員只有被革職,一直到抗議洗劫商店的隔天,這個警員才被起訴。然後川普火上加油寫說 when the looting starts, the shooting starts 當洗劫開始的時候,槍擊也會跟著開始。這個用法的來源我懶得說了,總之呢這則推文被推特標註這則推文違反了 Twitter 對於讚頌暴力行為的規則。不過,Twitter 已判定讓人們繼續存取該推文可能符合公共利益。
去頂好買了材料回來,洗洗切切,剛剛七點多吃心滿意足地吃了咖哩飯之後就開始寫日記。昨天有發文跟大家說怎麼寫日記,但是後來想想自己實在是寫的太難跟太籠統了,昨天從圖書館走到日文補習班的時候突然想到,啊,從句型,現在簡單式之類的開始教大家怎麼寫句子好了。寫句型,大家跟著換字就可以,然後潔西自己也順便寫寫日文日記好了,一舉兩得,台語說一兼二顧,摸蜊仔兼洗褲,英文可以說 Kill two birds with one stone. 用一塊石頭殺死兩隻鳥。也太殘忍了啦!日文居然也是「一石二鳥」,從英文得來嗎?中文也是可以說一石二鳥,究竟是哪個學那個啊?
言うのは簡単だが難しいことだな。
It’s easier said than done.
說得容易做得難。
寫日記的話可能可以寫的東西
1 當下感受
It’s raining hard outside. I don’t feel like going out, but I have to go to the library to return books and pick up the book I reserved. It’s 9:05 now, and I haven’t eaten my breakfast. I’m starving, but I’m just too lazy to make breakfast.
外面正下著大雨。我不想出門,但是我必須去圖書館還書跟拿我預約的書。現在是九點零五分,我還沒吃早餐。我餓死了,但是我太懶的做早餐了。
2 過去經驗
Every day Facebook shows the posts I wrote in the past few years. I just checked them, and one of it was kind of funny in many ways. I was very upset because the human resources specialist in the company where I taught a conversation class told my supervisor that my students said that they had had too much fun in class and they didn’t really learn much. But after I read the comments my friends and students left on the post, I started to laugh. I got a lot of very nice feedback from students and friends. I’m really lucky.
每天臉書都會顯示我過去幾年發過的文。我剛剛看了一下,其中一個有點好笑,在很多方面。我很不開心因為我上會話課的公司的人事主管告訴我的主管說我學生說他們上課太歡樂,沒學到什麼東西。但是我看了我朋友跟學生的留言後我開始大笑。我得到很多學生跟朋友的正面回應。我真的很幸運。
3 計畫
I’m going to a Japanese class this afternoon. I’m excited and a bit nervous. I’m happy that I’ll get a chance to practice my Japanese, but I’m also a bit worried that I might not like the class. Teachers are the worst students. I remember I read it somewhere, and it’s probably true.
我下午要去上日文課。我很興奮,也有點緊張。我很開心我有機會練習我的日文,但是我也有點擔心我可能不會喜歡那堂課。老師是最糟糕的學生。我記得我在某個地方看過,這多少有點真。
初學者建議從簡單的句型模仿句子開始寫

現在簡單式Present Simple
現在簡單式的句型可分一般動詞與be動詞兩種句型。英文幾乎每個句子都要有主詞跟動詞,所以當描述現在的事實,狀態時,假如句子中沒有一般動詞,只有名詞,形容詞,介系詞片語,副詞等時,則需要現在簡單式的be動詞,也就是am, is, are。 主詞 I 用am,任何可以用you/we/they代替的主詞用are,任何可以用he/she/it代替的主詞用is。
現在簡單式中 be動詞的句型
1 肯定句Affirmative
主詞+現在式be動詞 +名詞/形容詞/介係詞片語
S + be1 +noun/ adjective /preposition phrase
I am an English teacher.
You are awesome!
My father is at work.
2 英文句子改否定跟疑問時都需要有助動詞,be動詞本身就是個助動詞。
否定句Negative : 否定句只要在be動詞後面加not
S + be1 + not + noun/ adjective / preposition phrase
I am not a Japanese teacher.
You are not strict.
My father is not at home
3 Yes/No 問句 : 把be動詞放在主詞前面造問句
be1 + S + noun/ adjective / preposition phrase
Am I late? Yes, you are. /No, you aren’t.
Are you the only child? Yes, I am. / No, I’m not.
Is your mother from Tainan? Yes, she is. / No, she’s not.
If + S + V2, S + would + V0 If + 過去簡單式,S + would + 動詞原型.
A if 子句用過去簡單式,主要子句用主詞加 would 加動詞原型,用在談論與現在的事實不符或相反的假設條件下,可能是非真實的 unreal,或是假的 untrue,想像的 imagined,或不可能的 impossible 的條件下與他們的結果。
1 If I loved him, I would marry him. (But I don’t love him, so I won’t marry him.)
1 假如我愛他的話,我就會嫁給他。(但是我不愛他,所以我不會嫁給他)
2 If I had more time, I would travel. ( But I don’t have time, so I don’t travel.)
2 假如我有更多時間的話,我就會旅遊。(但是我沒有時間,所以我不會旅遊。)
3 If I told you, I’d have to kill you.假如我告訴你的話,我就必須要殺了你。
4 If a bear attacked me, I’d run away.假如一隻熊攻擊我的話,我就會逃走。
5 I would live in the country if I didn’t have any children.假如我沒有小孩的話,我就會住在鄉下。
B if 子句雖然用的是過去簡單式,但沒有過去的意思,指的是與現在事實相反。
6 If I had a lot of money now, I would take a trip around the world.假如我現在有很多錢,我就會環遊世界。
7 If it were sunny now, I would go to the beach with you.假如現在出大太陽的話,我就會跟你去海邊。
C if 子句不可以用 would,would 用在主要子句。
8 If she knew the answer, she would tell you.假如她知道答案的話,她就會跟你說。
8 If she would knew the answer, she would tell you. (X)
D 主要子句也可以用 could 或 might。
9 If we had a calculator, we could work this out a lot quicker.假如我們有一台計算機的話,我們會更快的算出答案。
10If Rachel worked harder, she might do even better at her studies.假如 Rachel 更努力的話,她可能會把書唸得更好。
E 第二條件句表達跟現在事實相反的假設時,當 if 子句的動詞是 be 動詞時,有些文法書上寫說不論人稱,通通用 were。在非正式談話中, I, he, she, it 或任何第三人稱單數的名詞當主詞時,可以用 was 。有些書則是說 I, he, she, it 或任何第三人稱單數的名詞當主詞時,if 子句中的 be 動詞用 was 或 were 都可以。
11 If I were rich, I would travel around the world.假如我很有錢的話,我會環遊全世界。
11 If I was rich, I would travel around the world.假如我很有錢的話,我會環遊全世界。
12 Sally would answer the phone if she were in her office right now.Sally 假如現在在辦公室的話,她就會接電話。
12 Sally would answer the phone if she was in her office right now.Sally 假如現在在辦公室的話,她就會接電話。
13 If I were you, I would tell the truth.假如我是你的話,我會說實話。
14 If I were a bird, I could fly.假如我是鳥的話,我就能飛。
F 第一條件句與第二條件句的比較
第一條件句表示這個條件,這個狀況有可能,但也可能不會發生。
第二條件句表示這個條件是非真實的,是假的,是不會發生的。
15 If I have time, I will help you.假如我有時間的話我會幫你。(我可能有時間,可能沒有)
16 If I had time, I would help you. 假如我有時候的話我會幫你。(我現在沒時間,我不能幫你)
17 If we take the car, we’ll have to pay for parking.假如我們開車的話,我們會必須付停車費。(我們可能開車,可能不開車)
18 If we took the car, we’d have to pay for parking. 假如我們開車的話,我們會必須付停車費。(我沒沒有開車,所以我沒也不需要付停車費)

睡前一直想到這件事,一直笑。今天教假設語氣的第二條件句,請學生造句。跟現在事實相反的假設,比方說 If I were a bird, I would fly. 假如我是鳥,我就會在天上飛,諸如此類的句子。其中一個是「假如….我會買…」I’d buy _______________ if ________________ 。潔西在找東西,然後讓學生自己造句,唸給潔西聽,聽到的時候笑到肚子痛。學生造 I’d buy you if I had money. 假如我有錢的話,我就會買你。買潔西要做什麼啦?潔西問學生說那你要把我放在哪裡?櫃子裡跟玩具一起?哈哈哈。沒錯,就是可愛的小二學生造的句子。
