今天教你們一個超酷的英文，大家身旁有「見人說人話，見鬼說鬼話」的人嗎? 這句話的英文怎麼說呢? 答案就是............fence rider

Amy (in front of Beth): Wow! You look great in that dress!
Beth: Thank you.
Amy (in front of Cindy): Oh my God. Doesn't Beth look awful in that dress?
Cindy: I overheard you compliment her on her dress. You are such a fence rider.

fence rider 字面上指坐在柵欄上的人，想辦法討好兩邊的人。

我剛剛打籃球，他們說了些很棒的英文，在這跟大家分享:

1. 他們打球真有「默契」: They have a connection.

2. 你沒投進，沒關係，「別放在心上」: Don't let it go to your head.

最近很多人愛吃「薑母鴨」，你也是嗎? 薑母鴨的英文怎麼說? 答案就是......... ginger duck

由於薑母鴨通常是燉在湯裡，你也可說 ginger duck stew 或 ginger duck soup，或更詳細的說 ginger duck with rice wine

由於美國沒有薑母鴨，你就得用白話翻譯囉!

當你受到挫折時有人對你落井下石，你會說甚麼? 你可以說 When the going gets tough, the tough get going!

這句話的意思是「強者愈挫愈勇」~

第一個 going 指情況，第二個 tough 指勇者! 遇到挫折時別灰心，因為挫折讓你變得更勇敢，大家加油 ! ;)

大家覺得幸福是甚麼? 對我來說，幸福就是.............鼻子暢通，我的鼻子幾乎都是塞的，睡覺時讓我覺得很痛苦

今天教你們「擤鼻涕」的英文怎麼說。答案就是 Blow one's nose.

例句: It's impolite to blow your nose in front of your guests.

所以，如果你們的鼻子很暢通，真的就很幸福了 :)

今天 带你去吃寿司 :<

因为健康饮吃风潮，喜欢吃寿司或生鱼片等日本料理的欧美人士越来越多。和老外一起到日本料理要注意些什么呢？

进到店里，用热毛巾 (hot towel) 擦擦手，问柜台里的厨师 (chef)：
1. Can we sit at the counter? （我们可以坐柜台的位子吗？）
2. What do you recommend today? （今天推销什么好料？）
-> We have very good fatty tuna. （我们有很肥美的鲔鱼。）

一开始吃生鱼片配酒，
1. Could we have some sashimi and cold sake to start? （先来一些生鱼片和冷日本酒。）
厨师会问：
2. What would you like for your sashimi? （你要哪种鱼做生鱼片？）
-> Whatever you recommend. （你推销的都好。）
【这么回答可以给对方好印象】

接着点握寿司，
1. I'd like yellowtail nigiri. （我想要鲭鱼握寿司。）
2. Could I have ark shell nigiri? （可以给我赤贝握寿司吗？）
点捲寿司时，
3. I'd like a cucumber roll. （我想要黄瓜捲。）
4. Fatty tuna with scallion in a hand-roll, please. （请给我鲔鱼葱手捲。）
如果老外不喜欢吃芥末，可以说：
Don't put wasabi in her sushi, pkease. （她的寿司请不要放芥末。）

【甜姜片】是 vinegared ginger，【汤】是 soup，餐后的【绿茶】是 green tea。
