English Corner 弋果新鮮事

今天弋果新鮮事要討論的主題是西方節慶，在國外的台灣人到了過年期間都會很想家; 在台灣的外國人也是如此，到了自己國家節慶時期也都難免心情比較低落，爲了跟他們在工作上或私底下有更好的關係，透過節慶來瞭解他們的文化，是個很好的方法哦!! That's right, understanding that foreigners might be sad or homesick around Christmas time, for example, will greatly improve your relationship with them, at work or in your personal life. They will appreciate a lot if you show understanding towards how they might be feeling at certain times of the year. Western festivals Taiwanese may not know 台灣人比較不知道的節慶: Guy Fawkes Night (蓋伊。福克斯之夜【煙火節】); ANZAC Day, 25th April (澳紐軍團日); Brazilian Carnival (巴西狂歡節); Cinco de Mayo (五月五日節); St. Patrick's Day (圣巴特里克节); Thanksgiving (感恩節); Super Bowl Sunday (超級杯) (For more about this topic, please listen to the show.)


 

Question of the Day 弋果一點通

Uage of Me, myself and I 我


 

1. I vs. Me
【I】是主詞, 做動作的那個人
【me】是受詞, 是被動詞說的那個人
《Ex.》
I paid the doctor. (我付錢給醫生)
The doctor paid me. (醫生付錢給我)

 

2. Myself vs. Me
Myself: 是I的強調, I的反身形式( reflexitive form of I )
當I已在句子中出現過，就可以用myself來加強形容自己

《Ex.》
I wrote this homework myself. (我自己寫功課)
I cut up half of the bread and put it away for myself so I could eat it alone.
(我把麵包切一半，留另一半給我自己吃)
