 He is on the beach.

意指他正走著, 坐著, 躺著或玩在海灘的沙子上.

範圍比較大, 意指他可能在海水裡, 或在海灘附近的商店買東西吃東西, 甚至在濱海小鎮上渡假都算是哦! 

 He is in the beach. 

這說法則是錯誤的喲~

雙十國慶快到了，祝大家國慶日快樂(happy National Day)。

整理出在英語中有很多表示節日的單字, 如下 :

1. Day一天 :

表示一天，當你指某一個特定的日子的時候。

例如 International Labor Day勞動節、National Day 國慶日、Teacher’s Day教師節、International Nurse Day國際護士節、Christmas Day耶誕節等等。

2.Festival節日 :

節日一般是宗教方面的慶祝，過節的時候我們都會吃大餐，對宗教人們都是很狂熱的，粉絲對自己偶像也很狂熱，因此同源字有feast盛宴、fane寺廟、fan粉絲、fanatic狂熱的、profane褻瀆不敬等等。

例如 the Spring Festival春節、Lantern Festival元宵節、the Dragon-Boat Festival端午節。

3.holiday假期 :

holy神聖的+day 也是宗教慶典，大家就不需要上班了！！！同源字有health健康（跟神祈福一般都是保佑健康，不受傷害）、heal治癒、whole完整的（不受傷害）。

例如 National Holiday國慶假期、summer holiday夏日假期。

4.vacation假期 :

vac空的+a+tion名詞字尾 空閒的日子，不需要工作就是假期。Vac拉丁字根意思是空的、同源字有vain空的 徒勞的 無效的、vanish 消失不見、vanity自負 虛榮心 虛空 無價值的東西、vast空曠的、devastating(de+vast+ate+ing)完全空了 毀滅性的、vacant(vac+ant)空缺(職位)、evacuate(e出來+vacu+ate)使空出來 疏散、vacuum真空、void無效的、avoid避免。

例如 winter vacation寒假

provide, supply, offer 的區別：

1 ．表示“向某人提供某物”

supply sb with sth / supply sth for sb / supply sth to sb

provide sb with sth / provide sth for sb

offer sb sth.

2. 表示“主動提出做某事 ( 願意去幫忙 ) ”

offer to do sth

3. 表示“倘使”、“假如”

provided / providing that

–         His company can tide over this difficulty providing (that) the checks are cashed next week.

–         Provided (that) you help me translate this documents into Chinese, I will make preparations for the negotiations this Friday.

= on condition that

=only if

4. 表示“滿足需要” supply / meet a need

provide ， supply 和 offer 都有“供給、提供”的意思，但用法不同。

provide 指有遠見，為應付意外、緊急情況等作好充分準備而“供給、提供”， 可用於 provide sb. （ with sth. ）或 provide sth. （ for sb. ）結構。 He persuaded other people to provide money or to give help. 他說服別人提供錢或給予幫助。 The school provided food for the students. 學校為學生提供伙食。 They provided us with all the books we need. 他們為我們提供所需要的所有書籍。

supply 通常指定期“供應 , 補給”，強調替代或補充所需物品，常用於 supply sb. with sth. 或 supply sth. for/to sb. 結構。 The cars will be supplied to people all over the country. 這些汽車將供應給全國各地的人們。 Cows supply us with milk. 母牛供給我們牛奶。 In Britain milk is supplied to each house in bottles. 在英國牛奶是裝在瓶子裏送往每家每戶的。

offer 側重表示“願意給予”，常用於 offer sb. sth. 或 offer to do sth. 結構。 She offered me a cup of tea. 她給我端了杯茶。 He offered to go instead of me. 他主動提出代替我去。

注 意： supply 較 provide 常用，有時它們可互換，可說 provide/supply sth. for sb. ，也可說 provide/supply sb. with sth. 。 The bank provided/supplied him with a loan $100,000. 銀行為他提供了 10 萬美元的貸款。

supply 是“供應，補給” 名詞有“供應品，補給品，生活用品” 記得它有週期性需要而供應補給的涵意。 provide 是“提供，供給”多記成主動提供的涵意，這點與 offer 相像。

Mother’s Day is on the second Sunday of May. It’s a day to honor our mothers and make them feel extra special. It’s also a good time for family members to gather together, especially after we get married or work in other places. It’s common for adult children cook for their mums or take them out to lunch or dinner. Young children put a lot of effort into making cards and plastic flowers for their moms.

Mother’s Day is coming. If you have the ideas to celebrate it, we have some questions for you as follows:

1. Have you prepared any presents for Mother’s Day? Or what have you received?

2. Have you made a reservation in the restaurant on that day/during that weekend? Or you prefer a big meal at home?

3. Do you have any other plans for celebrating it?

4. Did you also celebrate Father’s Day? And how?

5. Anyway, please say “Happy Mother’s Day!!” to your great moms.

2 求職面試(2) Job Interview(2)

Interviewer: Thank you for agreeing to come in and meet with us today.

感謝您今天能來參加面試。

Interviewee: Thanks for your inviting me.

謝謝你們的邀請。

Interviewer: I can see from your resume (C.V.) that you were in charge of sales for the ABC Corporation from 2012 to 2014. Can you please tell me about your responsibilities?

從簡歷可以看出2012年至2014年您負責ABC公司的銷售工作。您能介紹一下自己的工作的嗎？

Interviewee: Yes. I was in charge of profit and loss for the northwest region of America. As a manager, I was directly responsible for a 50% increase in sales over a four-month period.

好的。我負責美國西北地區的銷售。我使這個地區的銷售額在四個月內提高了百分之五十。

Interviewer: What do you believe are some of the key attributes that helped you to achieve such an outstanding increase in sales?

你認為取得如此顯著的銷售業績的關鍵因素是什麼？

Interviewee: I believe persistence and perseverance are key attributes.

我認為堅持和毅力是關鍵。

Interviewer: Sounds good. Everyone is talking about teams these days. Can you describe your role as a member of a sales team?  

很好，人們現在熱衷於談論“團隊”。你能描述一下你在銷售團隊裡的角色嗎？

Interviewee: I see myself chiefly as an inspirer. Sales can be quite competitive and some people in this field adopt a dog-eat-dog mentality. However, as a leader, I charge myself with making all units within a company function as one single entity. To cite an example, in my last job, each representative handled a different region. Instead of allowing successful initiatives to be hoarded by certain representatives, I developed a system for sharing those successful sales initiatives. Soon the entire sales team started talking of their successes, not just to brag, but also to share.

我把自己當作一個鼓勵者。銷售這個領域的競爭很激烈，有些同事暗地裡希望別人失敗。但是作為一個領導者，我要求自己把公司裡的各部分職能都整合起來成為一個整體。舉個例子，在我最近的這份工作中，每個銷售代表管理一個不同的區域。為了防止成功的銷售保密自己的經驗，我建立了一套共用制度，讓所有業務員分享行之有效的銷售策略。很快整個銷售團隊開始交流成功經驗，大家交流不是為了吹牛，而是為了分享。

Interviewer: We establish a fairly high target sales quota and you must achieve this volume in a short amount of time. How can you ensure that we reach our sales goals?

我們制定的銷售任務很高，完成任務的時間又很短，你會用什麼辦法來確保達到銷售任務目標呢？

Interviewee: I will draft a day-to-day schedule in advance and stick to the plan. Having a plan is the guarantor of success.

我會事先把每天的工作都安排好，然後嚴格按照計畫去做，有計劃地工作是成功的最大保障。

Interviewer: I must admit that you are very impressive (or I am quite impressed). I’ve certainly enjoyed meeting you. Our HR department will contact you later.

我得承認你很令人印象深刻 (我對你印象很不錯). 很高興與你會面。接下來人事部會跟你進一步聯繫的。

Interviewee: Thank you very much. I'll be looking forward to hearing from you. Good-bye.

非常感謝，我靜候佳音，再見！

(Please point out the English mistake from the following notice sent by a student's mother.)

A boy was sick and not able to participate in the English class, so his mother wrote to the school as follow:

"My son is under a doctor's care, so won't take the English class tomorrow. Please execute him."?

Explanation :

The boy could be excused from the English class. So the sentence should be written as "Please excuse him (from the English class)."

"Please execute him", on the other hand, means "Please kill him". It's incorrect.

The Chinese New Year is coming.

Let’s talk about the historical origins of celebrating the Chinese Lunar New Year

The New Year is read as 'Nian' in chinese.

Today "Celebrate the New Year" may come from "Survive the Nian".

The word "Nian" was originally the name of a monster that started to prey on people

the night before the beginning of a new year.

An old man subdued Nian and told people to put up red paper decorations on their windows

and doors to scare away Nian.

That evolved into the customs of putting up red paper and firing fire-crackers to celebrate it.

People today have long forgotten why they are doing all these, except that they feel the color and the sound

add to the excitement of the celebrations.

Red, with warm feeling, possesses the actions of making people excited and joyful.
