Wind大長圖節選

每天早上我會創作一張Wind大長圖, 精講1分鐘美劇對白. 每天我會從大長圖中節選一條講解放在這裡. 想要學習完整的Wind大長圖, 歡迎加入甩掉字幕社群~

1 As you can see, I was born without fingers on my right hand. and also my right leg was several inches shorter than my left one.

inch=英寸, 縮寫為in.

foot=英尺, 縮寫為ft.

1 foot=12 inches

我是這樣記的, inch你從音譯的話想把它譯作英尺, 但結果它卻很不聽話地是英寸的意思, 而foot卻是英尺的意思, Bazinga~

我們有句老話叫做: 尺有所短, 寸有所長, 因此尺是比寸更大的單位, 即foot>inch

1 foot是多長呢? 其實差不多就是一隻腳的長度, 好吧, 每個人的腳大小不一.

anyway, 1 foot大約是0.3m, 而1 inch大約是2.5cm. 即inch比centimeter稍微大一些, foot卻比meter小許多.

視頻答案

從第141篇開始, 我不再放出我自己聽寫的版本, 而是改為在答案上標記重難點, 大家特別注意一下我加粗的地方.

人們總是問我: 它疼嗎? 疼. 但是我把注意力集中在我能做的事情上, 而不是我不能做的事情上, 我想要跟你們聊聊關於克服困難

5 Everybody has obstacles, a disability, a hurdle. We face a choice: let the obstacle overcome you or overcome the obstacle.

每個人都有自己的困難, 一個殘疾, 一個障礙. 我們面臨一個選擇: 讓困難征服你, 還是你征服困難.
