Joke of the Day 2

A husband and wife are getting ready for bed. The wife is standing in front of a full-length mirror taking a look at herself.

"Dear," she says, "I look in the mirror, and I see an old woman. My face is all wrinkled, my hair is grey, I've got fat legs, and my arms are all flabby." She turns to her husband and says, "Tell me something positive to make me feel better about myself."

The husband thinks really hard for a moment and finally says in a soft, thoughtful voice, "Well honey, at least nothing’s wrong with your eyesight."

一对夫妻正准备上床睡觉。太太站在全长的镜子看着自己。

“亲爱的，”她说道：“我看这镜子，我看见一个老女人。我的脸布满皱纹，我的头发是灰白色的，我有肥胖的腿，然后我的手臂全都是松软的。”她转向丈夫然后说：“告诉我一些正面的东西好让我觉得好些。”

丈夫十分努力地想了一下，最后用轻柔，体贴的声音说道：“唔，宝贝，至少你的视力没问题呀！”

Common English Mistake

1. 如何说: 我很怕

应说 I scare 或 I scared 或 I am scared 或 I am scare 呢?

正确解答: I am scared.

那 scared 这字是否是 ‘过去词’ Past Tense 呢?
其实，scared 这字并非 Past Tense, 它只是英文里所谓的形容词!

Answer – after Grammar check

You mentioned that you couldn't copied (copy) the files and all the files

in the original folder is disappear. (had disappeared) In that case, you

could login (log in) to our billing system to check on it. Appreciate for

('for' is not needed here) your kind understanding.

Explanations:

1) 在 couldn't/could/can 之后的动词，必须是 base form → 不可有 ing, ed 或 s

2) 'had disappeared' 是 ‘已消失’ 的意思，动作发生在 'mentioned' 之前。'had disappeared' 的句型，是英文里的 Past Perfect Tense。 'is disappear' 这句型，在英文里并不存在。

3) log in 是动词，login 是名词。想学习如何分辨动词与名词吗？立刻成为会员

4) 当我们使用英文里的 appreciate 时，后面是不须要 for 的！例如：

I appreciate your help. 而并不是 'I appreciate for your help.'
