【世紀大評比:牛津、劍橋、朗文,誰的例句贏了?】
「學英文,要記得看例句、背例句」是越來越多人有的認知了。但是實際操作起來,大多人會碰到的問題是:
1️⃣ 不知道要看哪一本字典的例句(牛津?劍橋?朗文?韋氏) 。
2️⃣ 傻呼呼地抄了一些一輩子用不到、跟自己生活八竿子打不著的例句。
看字典的例句,建議可以從 2 個地方下手:
✔︎ 用例句幫助自己了解這個字的「意思」(不需要背例句)。
✔︎ 字典有篇幅限制、也有要符合「任何時代的人都可以看」的特性,#例句通常會有點過時是合理的。這時只要看裡頭的「文法搭配」、「詞義搭配」、「片語動詞」等等的語塊就可以了(怎麼抓語塊、怎麼用 Notion 整理,可以參考 3D 英文筆記術課程)。
要找好的、適合自己學習的例句,有 2 種方式:
1️⃣ 慢一點要從自己閱讀當中累積
2️⃣ 快一點可以從 fraze it 這樣的語料庫當中搜尋
🁢 字典輸給閱讀的具體例子:
假設今天你在 The Psychology of Money (致富心態) 一書中的 p.72 看到 doppelgänger 這個字(母語人士幾乎都知道的字),想要查它,字典會給你這樣的結果:
・牛津:沒有例句 XD
・劍橋:沒有例句,給了這樣的中譯:(與活人長相極相像的)幽靈;相貌極相似的人
・朗文:自然從語料庫裡抓的例句,最值得讀的例句長這樣 This phrase always intrigued Bob; as if the speaker could split herself in two, providing a doppelgänger companion.
我們來看看 The Psychology of Money 書裡的這句話吧:
Risk and luck are doppelgängers.
在閱讀的情境當中,你很容易就能解讀出,冒風險和碰運氣 #外部條件看起來相似但往往只有一線之隔 的意思。
3D 英文筆記術這個課程,雖然名為「筆記術」,實際上會教大家如何在閱讀的過程當中,挑出可加深學習的點,評估適合學習的語塊,讓大家做最有效的閱讀,最後用 8 大公式在 Notion 中分類出自己的語料庫。
✔︎ 閱讀不再只是遇到不會的單字查一下、懶得查就猜一下的過程。

as if例句 在 美國在台協會 AIT Facebook 的精選貼文
學校教英文時,大多時候會告訴我們they是複數,指「他們」,這是對的!但是在不知道性別的情況下,they也可用作第三人稱單數使用。事實上從十四世紀開始,英語母語人士便將they當作性別中立的單數人稱代名詞了。在此提供例句:After a student completes their coursework, they take an exam. 還有:Who is on the phone? What do they want?
由於來電者性別不明,美國人便會很自然地用they當作單數人稱代名詞,在口語上特別常見。換作正式文件,可把整個句子改為複數:Students take exams after completing their coursework. 或更正式一點說:Who is on the phone? What does the caller want?

In school, most English learners that the pronoun "they" refers to more than one person (in the plural), and that's correct! But, "they" can also be used to refer to a third person in the singular if the gender of the person is unknown. In fact, English speakers have used "they" as a gender-neutral singular pronoun since the 14th century.
Here's an example: "After a student completes their coursework, they take an exam." Or, as another example, "Who is on the phone? What do they want?" The gender of this student or caller is unknown, so an American English speaker will naturally use the singular pronoun "they," especially when speaking. If writing a formal document, they might get around this by editing the sentence to the plural, as in "Students take exams after completing their coursework," or by changing to a more formal register, as in "Who is on the phone? What does the caller want?"

[專頁公告] 英文學習「生態系」更新
English Learning Ecosystem Update
As I began exploring Instagram, I struggled to find a way to deliver useful academic content. Instagram posts typically focus on images, short clips, and concise text, which are attention grabbing but not always entirely conducive to language learning. I looked over the posts of established Instagram English learning accounts, and experimented with vocabulary posts and even news posts for a couple of weeks. Not wanting to post just images, I thought about creating something new even with the rigid format of the platform.
當我開始研究怎麼用IG,我想盡了各種辦法,希望能提供大家一些實用的學術內容。 IG 的特色著重在圖片、短片以及簡潔的文字,這樣的方式雖然很容易引人注目,卻不全然有助於語言學習。我瀏覽了 IG 上英文教學網紅的貼文,並在這幾週嘗試發了一些學術單字與新聞相關的文章。我並不想只是發一些圖片,而思考著要如何在既有框架下創作一些新的東西。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
A tenet of using tech in education is to engage students with what they are familiar with, not give them an entirely new platform that is difficult to use. So, how could I create a new series of Instagram posts that is both educational and unique? I thought about my goal to disseminate academic English resources, and how I could leverage my experience as a curriculum writer and voice recording artist for public school textbooks.
一個使用科技進行教育的原則是用學生熟悉的方式與他們互動,而非用了全新的平台卻使他們難以學習。那麼,我應該如何創作獨特且具教育意義的一系列全新 IG 發文呢?我想到了我傳遞學術英文資源的目標,以及思考到該如何發揮身為教科書編輯者與音頻錄製者的經驗。

So far, this is what I have at the moment. I will post Word of the Day (每日一詞), high frequency vocabulary words that you see in academic texts and sometimes on the news. These Tier 2 academic vocabulary words are not exclusive to a single domain and complement the theme-based approach I’ve taken with my mind-mapping vocabulary class. You can find other vocabulary learning methods here.
這是我目前所想到的內容:我會發布「每日一詞」,也就是學術文章或是新聞中有時出現的高頻字彙。這些Tier 2學術詞彙並不限於單個領域,更補充了我在心智圖詞彙攻略課程中採用的主題式學習法。你還可以在下面網站找到其他詞彙學習方法。

In these posts, I added the pronunciation, collocation, and example sentences of each word for students. These words will be helpful to university-level students who often read academic texts and the news. Students can access them by simply clicking on the hashtag 學術英語單字.
在這些貼文中,我為學生提供了發音、搭配用法和例句。這些單字會對經常閱讀學術文章和新聞的大學程度學生有所幫助。學生只要點貼文上的#學術英語單字即可看到貼文。

To help students use more precise and common academic phrases, I then added Academic Phrases (每日一句), set phrases that appear in both academic speech and writing. These phrases have varying functions from introducing a topic to comparing and contrasting ideas. There is a difference between speech and writing, so I picked words that could be used for both. If one is used only in a specific context, I will make note of it in the video recording. This series of posts will help students with language output, and can be found under the following hashtag 學術英語片語.
為了幫助學生使用更精準、更道地的常見學術用語,我們接著會進入「每日一句」,也就是在學術演說與寫作中常見的用語。這些片語具有不同的功能,範圍涵蓋介紹主題到比較、對比想法等等。而演講和寫作之間也有不同,所以我選擇了都可以使用的片語。如果只能在特定情況下使用,我會在影片中特別說明。該系列文章將會幫助學生提高語言輸出能力,可以在 # 學術英語片語找到。

Last, I will follow up with an abridged version of breaking news (時事英文) with high frequency collocations and audio recordings. This will provide students with the input of not only individual words, but how to use them in output (speech and writing) with context. While all these news posts might seem independent at first, I will eventually link and organize them by theme when there are enough posts. Along with my news class, these extra posts will help students stay aware of current events, acquire set phrases used in journalism, and develop critical thinking. These posts can currently be found under the hashtag EEL時事英文.
最後,我們會跟進精簡版的「時事英文」,其中包含高頻搭配詞與錄音資料。這些內容不僅可以提供你們輸入單字,而且可以幫助你們知道如何搭配情境輸出,再將這些內容使用在口說與寫作中。這些貼文一開始雖然看似獨立,當素材足夠後我會再將他們進行連結與整理。這些貼文和我的新聞課程將幫助學生維持對時事的敏銳度,掌握新聞中使用的固定用法,並養成批判性思維。這些貼文目前可以在 # EEL時事英文。
