翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: Sigh. What should we eat tonight?
Huahua: Don’t you like beef noodles? The shop near the train station has a special offer, let’s go line up.
Qingqing: Why is there a special offer? I didn’t notice that.
Huahua: Because it’s the International Beef Noodle Festival — the best time for beef noodle lovers.
Qingqing: Then let’s go together tonight. My treat.
Huahua: Great. I had the braised one last time, but it was a bit spicy. I want to try the clear-broth one today.
Qingqing: The clear-broth soup is really good. I’ve had it many times, and it tastes just as good as the braised one.
Huahua: In that case, I’ll order a large bowl. Thanks for the heads up.

1. 她把畫掛在書房牆上。 ˇ She hung the picture on her study wall. χ She hanged the picture on her study wall. 註：hanged 是 hang（吊死，絞死）的過去式。hang 作「掛」解時過去式是 hung，過去分詞也是 hung。 2. 他失去平衡，跌倒在地。 ˇ He lost his balance and fell down. χ He lost his balance and felled down. 註：felled 是動詞 fell 的過去式，作「砍倒」解，是及物動詞。這裡作「跌倒」解是 fall，過去式是 fell，過去分詞是 fallen。 3. 我剛才把照相機放在桌上。 ˇ I laid the camera on the table a moment ago. χ I lay the camera on the table a moment ago. 註：從句義可以看出動詞須用過去式「將…放、置」，動詞現在式是 lay，過去式和過去分詞都是 laid：lay, laid, laid；但 lay 也是 lie 的過去式，作「躺」解：lie, lay, lain，是不及物動詞。 注意：兩個形同義不同的 lay，不要用錯。 4. 他去過韓國。 ˇ He has been to Korea. ˇ He visited Korea some time ago. χ He has gone to Korea. 註：He has gone to Korea. 是「他已經到韓國去了」，指目前人已在韓國或在赴韓國的途中。表示「過去曾去過某處」，應用 have/has been，或用動詞的過去式和表示過去時間的副詞來表達。 5.
