上洗手間的用法 bathroom,restroom,toilet,pee
嗯 Restroom是比較公共的場所用的.譬如餐廳,機場,大部份都是用Restroom.或是比較高級的場合說話時要得體些時
Bathroom 是指住家的浴室
Toilet 有兩個意思 一個是沖水式馬捅 一個是廁所
算是比較中立的稱呼
通常學校都是用toilet
W.C 就是water closet 洗手間
台灣真的是比較常用W.C 可能因為W.C才兩個字罷了 很容易上口
令外還有 powder room 是指女用的化妝室
當人說i need to go to the powder room.除了上廁所還有去補妝的意思.
外國人比較常用(在一般場合)的是Toilet.
至於
i need to pee.(我要尿尿)
I want to go Poo( 大號) or Pee(小號)
算是比較口語的也比較低俗
不過這算是小朋友常常會說的話(四到五歲)
所以如果一個平常人說這種話 大家聽到會覺得很奇怪
想說你不是幼稚 就是喝醉了吧
still,only
She is still not happy.
Why is it still mess?
You guy are still here.
I only have fifty dollars.
for your birthday only.

what's up的用法-問別人怎麼了--what's wrong.....
what's up
what's wrong
what's the matter
what's going on (here)
what will happen/what is happening/what happened
Q:
What's up?
這句簡短的句子,他可以用來作甚麼樣的回答??
例如人家叫我 我回What's up?(有啥事)
這樣妥當嗎??
可以舉個例嗎??
謝謝^^
A:
通常是你看見別人鬱鬱寡歡,臉色不好時,你可以問他:
What is up?
這時別人的回答可能是:
I am sick today. 我生病了。
I lost my job last week.我失業了
等等
你所說的情況不是不可以,但是是屬於很沒禮貌的回答。你應該回答:Yes!
或:Yes, may I hlep you
Anything I could do for you
A:
應該是可以的吧~~
不過這句話因該都是用在朋友之間吧
如果對長輩講
好像有一點不禮貌
感覺太輕浮了辣
A:
這句話就是像上述大大們講解的那樣
用於熟稔的朋友間~用於長輩會顯得較不禮貌
但是之前也有藝人說(曾在國外待過)
台灣都會教,問候人家要用How are you?(你好嗎?)
但是當那位藝人到國外去時,你問How are you?
人家會覺得你很奇怪,明顯的就是外國來的
他們就是很直接的What's up?
也不管你熟不熟~
以上~是看電視知道的訊息拉~~給你參考用囉~
A:
what's up 的回答就跟how are you 一樣ㄚ
意思就是問你"你好嗎"
fine 或是so so 等等都是你可以回答的句子ㄚ
一個會話的例子
A:What's up, dude?
B:Nothing special man.
例句:
- maggie:I am so excited today?
vam:What's up - What will happen to you today?
- I don't know what is happening.我不知道發生了什麼事
- That's not what happened.事情不是這樣的

不定代名詞, there is no, there is not any
代名詞裡,有一個分類叫作不定代名詞,所指的就是沒有特定的事物,例如有: any, some, all, both, neither, either, none.....等等.有些不定代名詞是單數,有些則是複數。
這些不定代名詞,同時可以轉變成形容詞,但仍然保留不定的特性,因此 any跟 no (代名詞是none) 都是屬於不定形容詞。而這兩個形容詞都可以接單數,也都可以接複數,而且也正好可以修飾可數名詞和不可數名詞:
...any question.... any questions....any water...no question...no questions...no water....
唯一要注意的是,因為 a/an 是不定冠詞,也有不特定的性質,所以當 no或者 any接單數名詞時,我們不會再使用 a:
any question (正) an any question (誤)
no question (正) a no question (誤)
回過來看你的句子:
There is no person in the classroom. 才對
但是絕對不是因為 no的關係,而是因為前面的 There is,所以要用單數.
當然你也可以說: There are no people in the classroom.
Any problem? Any problems? 都可以
兩題都可以使用單數或複數 (注意動詞就好), 主要看你想要表達甚麼樣的量. 你認為教室裡應該有一個人,但是卻沒有,你就可以說:
There is no person in the classroom.
如果你認為教室應該有一些人,但是卻沒有,你就可以說:
There are no people in the classrom.
同樣的,當你想問別人有問題嗎?你心裡認為應該對方可能只有一個問題,那你就說:
Any problem?
如果你認為對方可能有很多問題,那當然可以問:
Any problems?
there is no = there is not any +單數名詞 = there is not a/an +單數可數名詞
there are no = there are not any +複數名詞
例句
Is there any water.
There is not any water.=There is no water.
all,both的用法
It is all yours.
What is all that stuff for?
Thank you all.
Is that all?
這是全部嗎?
It's all done.
They all have a boyfriend .
他們都有男朋友了
We both deserve one.
all both really 這三個的位置到底要擺哪理才好ㄋ 都快搞混ㄌ
They both like English novels. (動詞前)
They all like English novels. (動詞前)
They really like English novels. (動詞前)
They will both arrive here on time. (助動詞和動詞之間)
They will all arrive here on time. (助動詞和動詞之間)
Smoking can really affect your health. (助動詞和動詞之間)
***
I like them both. (代名詞之後)
I like them all. (代名詞之後)
I like them really. (句尾)
***
Both of them will come. (充當主詞)
All of them will come. (充當主詞)
Really, they will come. (句首)

bring,take,give,拿,給,要,帶....
Q:
bring 和 take 的不同地方與用法? 請問這兩個不同的地方?與不同地方的用法?
例如: I take she go to shopping . 這樣用法對嗎?
那bring呢?
A:
take 和 bring 最大的不同是在於"方向".
take 是帶...去; 拿.
bring 是帶...來;帶在身上
舉例來瞧瞧
(1) I take her to go shopping but I don't bring money with me. 我帶她去逛街, 但是我身上沒帶錢.
(2) 老師說: 作業帶來了嗎? (作業在你這裡.)
Do you bring your homework?
你: 對不起, 我忘了帶來.
Sorry, I forgot to bring it.
(3) 老師說: 作業你拿走了嗎?
Did you take your homework?
你: 沒有, 我沒拿.
No, I didn't take it.
(4) 你現在在家裡, 跟父母說你要帶女朋友回來.
Mom and Dad, I'll bring my girlfriend home today.
(5) 你在外面遇到朋友, 跟他說你要帶女朋友回家.
I'll take my girlfriend home today.
例句:
帶某物到....
- dj:I will bring it tomorrow.
我明天會把它帶來 - maggie:Maybe I can bring your head to the school .(好像也可以用take)
vam:You can bring her some tomoto juice. - Will you bring me a hanger?
Will you give me a hanger?
用bring比較有一段距離的感覺,即使在同一個房間內 - I really don't want to put this on again. Won't you bring it up.
- Will you bring it in to me?
- I will have a porter bring it in(out).
- We can take away some furniture.
- Thank you for bring us here.

- Please give it to me.
- Can you give me some water?
- Can I have it?

其他

something,anything,some,any
something是期望對方作肯定的回答
Can I do anything for you?
Can I do something for you?
Can I have some?
Do you want some?
I can give you some.
吃太多,a lot, too much
a lot of的意思是很多
too much的意思則是太多
My father didn't want me to eat a lot of food.這個是:我爸爸叫我不要吃很多的食物
(文意念起來就怪怪的了!!)
My father didn't want me to eat too much food.我爸爸叫我不要吃太多食物
a lot of比較適合用在肯定的句子裡吧!
像:I ate a lot of food today,but my father didn"t want me to eat too much food!
像這樣比較通順!
其實是因為像是 a lot 後方可加可數名詞及不可數名詞
而 too much 則是用在不可數名
對了位置擺放也不同喔
此外比較常用在肯定句當然你這樣寫也許別人無法說你錯但是會告訴你很少人這樣用記住英文並非我們的母語所以我們要多模仿
例句:
He ate a lot last time.
Don't eat too much.

有意思相同,可以通用的情況。
當你要別人相信你說的。
Trust me! I am telling the truth.=Believe me! I am telling the truth.

B:I can't believe you.
我不相信你(這裡不是指信任trust,而是你所說的話)
