RTHK ON INTERNET http://podcast.rthk.org.hk/podcast/item.php?pid=193 《上網問功課》邀得最具演出經驗立法會議員陳淑莊粉墨登場，演出《英語Fun分鐘》環節。 zh-CN Radio Television Hong Kong RTHK ON INTERNET webmaster@rthk.org.hk RTHK, 香港電台, 英語FUN分鐘 RTHK Podcast Radio Television Hong Kong Teaching points: Speaking strategy / fluency Common misuse of ‘actually’, ‘and then’ and ‘it seems’ to create ‘cohesion’, probably due to Cantonese inference.

Ronnie(陳淑莊飾) : Doctor! Doctor! (in wheel chair) Doctor: E! 個護士話法國球星 Ronnie o黎o左, 原來係真! Hey! Ronnie. I am your fan! What happened? Ronnie: (In great pain) It was raining …Ooh … (groaning and can’t go on) Doctor: OK, actually you told our nurse what happened. Actually, you were playing football, and then there were puddles, and then you collided with the goal keeper, and then you broke your leg, and then … Ronnie: (Screaming) Help me, Doctor. Will I lose my leg? Doctor: Well, actually we've x-rayed your leg. It seems it’s a very minor fracture … Ronnie: (Very scared) What? You mean it may be more serious? Oh, no!… ---------------------------------------------- Presenter (陳淑莊飾): 嘩, Ronnie真係比Doctor d 英文嚇親. 首先, Doctor 用左 ‘actually’呢個字幾次, 但只有一句係o岩: OK, actually you told our nurse what happened. ‘actually’ o係呢一句,意思係 Doctor 唔洗 Ronnie 講多一次意外的經過. 記住: ‘actually’o既主要用途, 係澄清事實, 同澄清一D矛盾. 大家唔好用 ‘actually’ 同 ‘and then’ 來連埋晒d句子, 聽起上來, 係好累贅的 另外, ‘it seems’ 又係一個累贅的用詞, 如果讚人“你好叻” 可以索性講‘You are clever.’ 剛才o個個醫生用”It seems it’s a very minor fracture.” 就俾人一個唔肯定o既感覺, 難怪嚇到Ronnie We嘩鬼叫! 其實英語對話o既一個特式, 係用好多短o既句子,唔需要用‘actually’, ‘and then’, 同 ‘it seems 等等o黎製造連貫.不如叫Doctor重複一次啦! ------------------------------------------- Doctor: Actually, you told our nurse what happened. You were playing football. There were some puddles. You collided with the goalkeeper; then you broke your leg. Ronnie: (In pain, nodding) Yes, that’s right. Doctor: Well, we’ve x-rayed your leg. It’s a very minor fracture… Ronnie: (relieved) Can I play next month then? Doctor: Do you want to see me again next month? Ronnie:… No! No, thanks!!

(光碟店內) 遊客: Wow, you have stocked so many DVDs. Could you please show me which one is good? 店員: No pobem (problem)! Some of them cost only chenty (twenty) dollars each. 店員: … This one … Ocean’s Chelve (twelve)… should be good. 遊客: Ocean’s Chelve? 店員: Yeah, I like Ocean’s Chelve (twelve) too. Bad Pitt (Brad Pitt) pays (plays) one of the robbers. Look … he’s so cool in the back (black) jacket! 遊客: Back jacket.....?! 店員: Yeah …. Back (black) jacket, so cool. 遊客: I’m sorry, I think I should go to another shop. Thank you. 店員: You don’t understand me.....? what is your pobem (problem) .....? ------------------------------------------- 主持：陳淑莊 陳：你係唔係博炒呀？趕走哂d客。 店員:乜我D英文唔o岩咩？ 陳：你D Grammar 滿分, 但係講英文就好多懶音! 店員:懶音??? 陳：You should pronounce the consonant clusters. 好似”No problem”，你就讀o左”No pobem”，20蚊應該係twenty dollars，唔係”chenty dollars “ ， “12”英文係“twelve”唔係“Chelve”。 店員: 收到! Hey, my friend. I like Ocean’s Twelve. Brad Pitt plays one of the robbers. Look, he’s so cool in the black jacket! 陳：No problem. Excellent! 店員:即係講慢少少, 發晒D字母就o岩啦! 陳：算你啦！

(書房內) Brian: Marianne, come in. Please hell (help) me. Marianne: Sir, you need help? Brian: Take the box (boxes) to the sitting room. Marianne: This one? Brian: Hey, take all of them! Brian: 哎呀! 你真唔醒目. 乜你唔係”吉成”訓練出黎咩?? I will sleep an hour now becau (because) I’m tire (tired). Please go to the market and buy some food. Marianne: Sir, what’s the password to the main entrance? Brian: 2 ‘sic sic fai’ (2665) (樓下對講機響起) Brian: I told you the password! Marianne: Sir, I can’t understand your English. ---------------------------------------------- 主持：陳淑莊 陳：其實好多同學都像Brian那樣,說英文時, 不發尾音, 例如 ‘help’ 就說 ‘hell’, 即是地獄, 真是驚嚇! 又或者不發 plural, 即眾數，好像boxes的””es”音，還有”ed”音, 即大部份past tense的尾音, 發音不清楚，就會詞不達意，大家要留意呀！ 那樣說才對? 再看一次啦! --------------------------------------------- Brian: Marianne, come in. Please help me. Marianne: Sir, you need help? Brian: Take the boxes to the sitting room. Brian: Thanks. Brian: 你真醒目.不愧係”吉成”訓練出黎o既! I will sleep an hour now because I’m tired. Please go to the market and buy some food. Marianne: Sir, what’s the password to the main entrance? Brian: 2665

(阿嬤從老人中心回來) 明仔:阿嬤! 返o黎喇! 今日又o係老人小心學o左D乜呀? 阿嬤: My name is Chan Ah Yim. Call me Yim. 明仔:嘩, 阿嬤你好IN 喎! 老人中心o既英文班有料到. But no, you’re my grandma. I can’t call you Yim! 阿嬤, 你今日去o左邊呀? 阿嬤:OK…I took a chain (train) to LoWu. I ate at a Tsinese (Chinese) restaurant. I chaid (tried) a new dim sum there. Yummy! I told the waiter, ‘Keep the tsange (change)!’點呀, 掂嘛? 幾多分呀? 明仔:70分啦…比得低分算唔算不孝呢?... --------------------------------------------- 主持：陳淑莊 陳：又不算是不孝, 有批評才有進步嘛! 首先, 嬤嬤要先改掉懶音, 不少同學與嬤嬤一樣,分不清/tS/同/tr/音,生字中有ch 通常讀/tＳ/，例如 : “Chinese” 和 “change”。 而生字中有 t r, 就發 /t/ 同 /r/音, 例如: “train” 與”try”。 同學讀英文的時候最好就是首先肯定那個字的串法, 那就會在讀那個字的時候掌握得好些。咦! 剛才個小朋友剛剛給了分數! --------------------------------------------- 嬤嬤:乜話?! 得o個70分! 亞嬤咁辛苦揍大你! OK… let me try again! I took a train to LoWu. I ate at a Chinese restaurant. I tried a new dim sum there. Yummy! I told the waiter, ‘Keep the change!’ 明仔: 100分! 勁呀! 嬤嬤: 駛乜講!

(化妝間) 髮型師: Jason, 今日咁好心情呀? Jason:聽日英文台訪問我，我惡補過英文，今次應該OK，不如你試下我呢？ 髮型師: 好呀! Jason, How’re you going to spend your Easter Holiday? Jason: I’ll be working in mainnand Chaila (mainland China). 髮型師: Somebody saw you with a pretty girl last weekend. Is she your new girlfriend? Jason: Oh, my apartment leeds (needs) some decoration. She’s a famous interior desiler(designer). 髮型師: D Grammar o岩, 但係…. 你聽日都係唔好去做個訪問好d! ------------------------------------------- 音樂指揮家：陳淑莊飾 陳：Jason的/n/ 音同 /l/ 音全都錯了！英文串字中, 不論/n /的位置是在前面、中間、或者後面,都要發鼻音, 舌頭放平就可以,即是 naa ..但是 /l/ 音就要舌頭上上落落, 就像唱歌那樣動 ‘la la la ..’ 就正如Jason剛才所講數句都有好多字音不準確。 Mainland 當中的land 他就加了n音, /n/ 、就是一個鼻音, 至於 China, Needs同Designer, 他就卷舌發了 /l/音,他的確讀得十分難聽! 咬字不清怎學人做歌手呢! 讓我重覆一次! I’ll be working in mainland China. My apartment needs some decoration. She is the interior designer. See!

(Brian家) Brian: Marianne, several guests are coming tonight. Can you tell them to put off their shoes? Marianne: Sorry? Brian: Tell the guests to wear slippers. I don’t want a dirty house! Marianne: OK……Sir, fire! I saw some smoke from Mrs. Chan’s kitchen. Brian: Call 999. Quick! The firemen will come to put off the fire. Marianne: Put off the fire? Brian: You take care the dog. I will go and see what is happening there. Marianne: Take care the dog? Brian: Yes, my dog! Marianne: Sir, you aren’t using prepositions correctly… ---------------------------------------------- 主持：陳淑莊 陳: 嘩! Brian用錯d prepositions, 不是令人啼笑皆非, 就是激死Marianne。需要注意是常用的 phrasal verbs 用錯了 prepositions, 意思是完全不同。而要正確用preopositions, 祕訣就是多溫習。 “To put off” 意思是指推遲一件事。例如: “Brian will put off his trip to Japan.” “除鞋”、”除褸”, 是”Take off your shoes. / Take off your jacket.” “Brian wants the guests to take off their shoes.” 而”著鞋”、”著衫”是”Put on your jacket.” “Brian wants the guests to put on slippers.” 而”滅火”就不是”To put off fire” “The firemen will put out the fire.” 才是指滅火。 Take care the dog, 意思好像叫那隻狗保重啊! “照顧”是”Take care of” 例如: Please take care of the dog for me. 那場火撲滅了沒有呢? --------------------------------------------- (Brian家) Marianne: How is Mrs Chan?! Brian: She is fine. I took care of her but I am so tired now. I think I will have to put off the party tonight. Marianne: Great! So I can take a rest tonight… Brian: Hey! What is the smell?! Marianne: Oh! I was cooking! Brian: Put out the fire, now!

(Jason家) 媽: 我地(Jason家) 媽: 我地既大明星Jason, 做緊乜呀? 今日你韓國、日本歌迷睇左報道, sent e-mail 問, 你前幾日係唔係入左醫院喎? Jason: 我去探家姐之嘛! 好啦, 等我o係blog 度澄清下la. My elder sister gave birth to a bady (baby) girl yesterday. Althought (Although) I had dance rehearsals, I went to see them in hospital. 媽:咪住! 串錯兩個字. Jason: My sister gave birth to a baby girl. 係喎,兩個 ‘b’音 媽: ‘although’ 冇尾音, 唔駛加t! Some fans were quiet excited to see me, so some were screaming. I told them, ‘Shh! Clam down! Clam down!’ Jason: 咩話? 冇錯bo! This morning, some friends wroted my sister very warm messages. --------------------------------------------- 主持：陳淑莊 陳淑莊: 好多同學都好像Jason, 寫英文時,串錯好多字. ‘quite’ 就變了 ‘quiet’, ‘calm’ 就變成 ‘Clam’, 還有, 大家要留意, 緊記常用動詞, 即是 verbs, 的 past tense, past participle的串法, 例如 ‘write’ 的 past tense 是 wrote, past participle 是 written) ------------------------------------------ 媽: Some fans were quite excited to see me, so some were screaming. I told them, ‘Shh! Calm down! Calm down!’ Some friends wrote my sister very warm messages. Jason: 我宜家成日要寫Blog, 媽呀, 點先可以少D wrong spelling? 媽: 等我敎你兩招啦! 第一寫野的時候, 可以讀出聲, 用發音幫你搵錯字, 其實, 你基本功唔夠 Jason: 好似打功夫? 媽: 係呀! 第2招係: 抽D時間, 抄寫生字, 先至可以減少串錯字嘛! Jason: Yes, Mom.

(明仔家) 明仔媽媽:明仔呀, 你都唔理下你o個個韓國o黎o既交換生朋友o既！ 明仔:我要上空手道班嘛, 好難成日都陪住佢架! Hey! Kim, how are you? Kim: Ming Jai, you went to your karate class? I envy you; karate must be hard. 明仔: Well, not really. I very easy to learn karate. By the way, you’ll go back to Korea next week. Will you miss me, and my mom’s cooking? Kim: Of course, I will miss you. Your mom is such a good cook. You’re lucky! I wish I could live in Hong Kong. 明仔: Why don’t you come to Hong Kong after you’ve got your degree? My brother graduated last year and he wasn’t difficult to find a job last year. Hey, tonight we’re having pizza. Are you OK? Kim: Well, I’m not ill! --------------------------------------------- 主持：陳淑莊 陳：明仔所說‘I very easy/difficult to do something 或 I very easy/difficult to find a job’ 是港式英語,有兩個錯處:句子沒有 verb,及用錯 subject、緊記 ‘Easy’及‘Difficult’是指事物,正確的句式是 ‘Something / It + Be + easy/difficult’: ‘Karate is easy.’和 ‘It wasn’t difficult to find a job.’而 ‘Are you OK?’ 意思是 ‘你冇事嗎?’ 。 不如看看明仔媽媽怎樣幫他! --------------------------------------------- (明仔家) 明仔媽媽: 明仔, 你D空手道可能勁過你D英文. Ming Jai wants to say：‘Karate is easy to learn.’ ;‘It was difficult to find a job.’ And ‘Tonight we’re having pizzas. Is it OK?’ Kim: Sure! I love pizza!

It’s my first time I ran marathon in Hong Kong. 健兒甲：It’s very nice to meet you. You look very healthy! 健兒乙：Thank you! Well, I have a little secret … 健兒甲：What’s it? 健兒乙：If you want to be healthy, you can drank some tea every morning. 健兒甲：mmm… OK… 健兒乙：You may went for a quiet and leisurely walk, before or after a shower. 健兒甲： I don’t understand… 健兒乙：You don’t understand .Why?! This may because a walk calms you down. Oh! You must slept 7 or 8 hours a day if you want good health. 健兒甲：Ok…… ------------------------------------------- 主持：陳淑莊 陳：這位韓國朋友十分有智慧，他對健康的確有研究。但我可以改正他的錯誤Modal verbs用法! Modal verbs即是情態詞，例如 can, may, must, shall, will之類。它們的用法就是要配一個bare infinitive，即是一些原形的動詞。好像剛剛他所說的配搭其實應該改為, can drink, may go, may be because, must sleep --------------------------------------------- (衝線前) 健兒甲：Hey! You mean if I want to be healthy, I can drink some tea every morning. I may go for a quiet and leisurely walk, before or after a shower. This may be because a walk calms a person down and I must sleep 7 or 8 hours a day. 健兒甲：Hey, thanks for your tips.

He is going to the U.S. soon.” 咦! 不知明仔怎樣應付媽媽的哮喘呢?! ----------------------------------------------- (明仔家) 明仔：媽! 你唔好嚇我呀! 我以後都會勤力讀好英文架喇! 你睇!! 明仔媽媽：I will study hard . I will use full-stops to separate sentences. 又寫得幾好喎! 早D係咁咪唔駛o徙晒我d時間囉! 我仲約o左黃太打麻雀，然後至去買菜呀，你肚餓就”叮”番尋日D飯菜食啦! Bye!

Mark:等我同Miss Stoke傾下偈, 練英文先。Hi, Miss Stokes. Miss Stokes: Hi, Mark, you’re a happy boy. I’m sure you have a happy family. Mark: You’re right. My family like to play. Miss Stokes: Really? What do you mean? Mark: My dad and I sometimes play the computer together. Miss Stokes: Both of you like computer games! What about your elder brother? I know he’s at university. Mark: Yes, Marco plays karate. At weekends, he goes to play with his friends. Well, he always plays me. Oh, my mom likes to play mahjong with the aunties. ---------------------------------------------- 主持：陳淑莊 陳: 廣東話的「玩」真是十分好用! 但直譯為’play’就不妥當, 因為在英語世界,‘play’ 的用途是： 1. 玩遊戲, 例如：小朋友的玩意”The kid are playing in the park.” 2. 玩樂器, 例如：”Chris plays the violin.” 3. 玩球類運動, 例如：”Chris plays squash. They were playing basketball.” 陳: 阿Mark和他daddy並非喜歡「玩」電腦, 而是“My dad and I sometimes play computer games together.” Marco打空手道, 是”Marco does karate.” Marco與朋友去街, 是”Marco goes out with his friends.” 或者是”Marco hangs out with his friends.” Marco鍾意「玩」阿Mark,即是「整蠱」他, 應該這樣說:“Marco always makes fun of me.”而 ‘Mom likes to play mahjong.’ 是正確, 因為「打麻雀」, 是一種遊戲。 還有, ‘My family like to play.’ 應該是 “My family are great fun.”。 ----------------------------------------------- Mark: Miss Stokes. What should I do to improve my vocabulary? Ms Stokes: Read more, do more revision, and don’t play computer games all the time! Mark: Sure…

There’s no window seat? Or I can’t check in now? 地勤: Um… Sure … 主持：陳淑莊 陳：用‘although’這個連接詞說出相反意思即附屬句。“Although it is still very early”, 之後的主句開頭就不應該用另一個連接詞 ‘but’ “I want to check in anyway” ，而用 ‘because’這個連接詞說出原因”Because I want to have a better view”, 這部分是 subordinate clause, 即附屬句, 主句是”I’d like a window seat”，前面不用加另一個連接詞 ‘so’ 。 那位先生check in 了沒有呢?

I’m sorry. 主持：陳淑莊 陳：”I’m painful” 所指的，並非你身體某部分感到痛楚，而是”我感到好痛苦! 好似受左打擊” 。 如果你想表達你不適、或者身體某部份感到痛楚，可以用這個說法，例如：肚痛是”Stomachache” 、頭痛是”Headache”，例如: “I have got a stomachache”，或者 ”I have got a headache.” 。 你又可以用”Hurt”這個字去表達，好像”My stomach hurts.” 、” My leg hurts.”都可以!如果用Painful去組成這句句子，你亦可以說”My foot is painful” ，因為是那腳使到你痛苦!
