你有追蹤巴奈的IG限時動態嗎?
有時候是生活、食物和一點點雞湯,但最重要的還是生活單字呀!
來看三個主要的限動精選
⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️
限動(一)如何形容「氣勢」
這種特質有正向的 strong presence 氣場強烈、stage presence 舞台魅力,或是負面的 domineering (adj) 氣勢凌人、coming on strong (phrase) 強勢或逼迫。
也可以簡單地說 unfriendly (adj) 不友善,或 unapproachable (adj) 和 out of reach 去形容不好親近的。
🗣️ 開口念例句
Marylin Monroe had a very strong presence on screen. 瑪麗蓮夢露在銀幕上有很強烈的魅力。
At 5 years old, that boy already has an amazing stage presence. 雖然才五歲,這位小弟弟就很有舞台魅力。
My boss has a domineering manner1 and always thinks he is right. 我老闆相當氣勢凌人,總是覺得自己是對的。
My uncle comes on strong but in fact, he is a nice person. 我叔叔(看似)強勢但其實人很好。
Her tattoos makes her look unfriendly but deep down she is a softie2. 她的刺青讓他看起來不好親近,但其實她內心是溫柔的。
At work, she comes across as an unapproachable and out of reach person. 在工作上,她給別人一種不好親近的距離感。
限動(二)亂中有序
“Method to the madness” refers to a situation where it seems chaotic or not having much logic or reason, but it actually has a purpose behind it.
It is often used to point out that someone’s mysterious behavior actually has a reason behind it. 「Method to the madness」 指的是看似混亂、缺乏邏輯或理由,但實際上卻有其目的的情況。通常用來指某人的神秘行為背後其實有其原因。
不能完全等於中文的「亂中有序」,但是在有些情境中是可以用來翻譯的。
🗣️ 開口念例句
His leadership style seemed weird but after some time, people started to see there is method to the madness. 他的領導方法看似奇怪,但過一段時間後,大家開始注意到他其實亂中有序。
People thought that he was out of his mind, bringing a pigeon to his presentation, but in the end, they realized that there was method to the madness. 人們以為他瘋了,居然帶一隻鴿子發表報告,但看到最後大家才意識到原來他這樣做是有原因的。
Why is everything out on the table? -[Don’t question me. There is method to my madness.] 為什麼東西都在桌子上?別質疑我,我是亂中有序的。(開玩笑口吻)
限動(三)異性相吸
“Opposites attract“ is used to describe a phenomenon where two people with drastically3 different personalities or behaviors attracted to each other. 用來描述兩個性格或行為截然不同的人卻相互吸引的現象。
這句話不僅用在性別上喔!
🗣️ 開口念例句
I don’t believe that opposites attract because this kind of love usually wears off. 我不相信異性相吸,這種愛情通常都會消逝。
Despite their different backgrounds and personalities, they have been together for 17 years. I guess opposites attract! 儘管他們的出身和個性大不相同,他們已經在一起十七年了,我想異性相吸吧!
She is an outdoor person while her girlfriend is an indoor gamer. People say opposites attract. I think it is true in their case. 她是喜歡戶外活動的人但是女友卻是喜歡待在家玩電玩的人。人們常常說「異性相吸」,我想對他們來說真是如此。
