search 看英文解釋 arrow_drop_down
The question is: "Have you had a chance to look over the quarterly report yet?" It asks if you have already read the report.
(A) answers directly: you say "Yes" and add that you have notes—this fits perfectly.
(B) talks about a "new report" and thanks the speaker; it never says if you looked at the current report, so it does not really answer the question.
(C) offers to set up a meeting about project details; again, it does not say whether you read the report.
(D) is not provided, so it cannot be evaluated.
Therefore, (A) is the only choice that clearly answers the question that was asked.
還沒有。我一直拖拖拉拉,上一季的結果讓我實在提不起勁。
search 「raising the bar」這個片語常用來形容把標準或要求往更高的層級提升,好像把跳高橫桿往上移一樣,讓大家必須更努力才能達到。比方說:"The new smartphone really raised the bar for camera quality." 或 "If we want to stay competitive, we have to keep raising the bar on customer service." 透過這樣的說法,你可以表達出追求卓越、激勵團隊或自己突破現有水準的想法。當你想要鼓勵別人不要停留在舒適圈時,就可以用「raising the bar」來增加語氣的動力與挑戰感。
search 「finding extra edges」,這個片語常用來表示取得競爭優勢,有時人們會說 "find an edge" 。如果你聽到別人說 "We need to find an edge in the market," 意思就是要在市場上找到些獨特做法來領先對手。
search 「dragging my feet」是一個口語化的表達,用來形容你故意拖延、磨蹭,不太想把事情完成,就像走路時腳拖拖拉拉的樣子。舉例來說:"I've been dragging my feet on finishing the report." 或 "Stop dragging your feet and call the client already." 這句話帶有一點輕微的抱怨或自嘲,用來告訴別人(或自己)在行動上沒有積極,讓事情進展得很慢。下次想表達「我一直拖延」時,就可以直接說 "I'm dragging my feet."
這是正確答案
The phrase "have a chance to" means to have the opportunity or possibility to do something. It’s often used to express that someone is able or allowed to try, experience, or achieve something. For example, "I had a chance to meet the CEO last week" means the person had the opportunity to meet the CEO. It can also suggest a likelihood of success, like "She has a good chance to win the competition," meaning she’s likely to win. This phrase is commonly used in both casual and formal English to talk about opportunities or probabilities.
「have a chance to」這個片語的意思很簡單,就是「有機會去做某事」;你可以想像成當你看到一個可能性、或是某個時間點剛好空出來,你就能用它來表達。比方說:"I finally have a chance to travel this summer",意思就是「我終於有機會在今年夏天去旅行」;又或者:"If you have a chance to talk to her, please say hi for me",這裡就帶出「如果你有機會跟她說話,請幫我問候一下」的概念。要注意的是,後面通常接原形動詞(travel, talk, visit 等),整體語氣聽起來自然又口語;下次想表達「終於能…」、「有機會去…」時,不妨試著把「have a chance to」直接搬到句子裡,說起來既簡單又道地!

阿帕標音法: [hh-ae-v-ah-ch-ae-n-s-t-uw] 國際音標: /hæv ɚ tʃæns tu/ -
[hh] /h/play_circle_filled要發出「h」音,舌頭深後部需在喉部稍微收縮;在發出 h 音的同時,舌頭的前端或上部以及雙唇通常會隨著相鄰音而變化口形。
-
[ae] /æ/play_circle_filled要發出 ae 音,在形成「短 a」/æ/ 音時,舌頭前端需比發其他任何母音時更向前推,且位置更低。
-
[v] /v/play_circle_filled要發出「v」這個聲音時,下巴幾乎保持閉合,下唇的內側輕輕貼住上排牙齒的底部,氣流在上牙與下唇內側之間推出口腔。這是一個持續性子音,也就是說它應該能夠持續發出數秒,期間發音均勻而流暢。發 v 音時嘴唇大多保持放鬆。許多 ESL/ELL 學生常見的錯誤是把下唇過度向內捲至上牙底下來發音,這會造成 v 音與其他音連讀時的困難。
-
[er] /ɚ/play_circle_filled要發出ɚ這個音,首先將舌後部抬起,使舌邊觸碰到後牙。舌後部中央應稍微降低,氣流通過這條溝槽產生此音。
-
[ch] /tʃ/play_circle_filled為了發出這個音,當舌尖抵住後齒槽脊,舌邊貼住上側牙時,空氣會被短暫地阻擋在聲道內。
-
[ae] /æ/play_circle_filled要發出 ae 音,在形成「短 a」/æ/ 音時,舌頭前端需比發其他任何母音時更向前推,且位置更低。
-
[n] /n/play_circle_filled為了發出 /n/ 音,須將舌尖頂住齒齦,並讓舌頭前部兩側貼緊側牙,阻擋空氣由口腔逸出。
-
[s] /s/play_circle_filled要發出「s 音」 時,舌頭的前端應靠近齒齦脊,舌尖應靠近上排門牙後方的背面。發音時舌頭要保持緊張,讓氣流從舌尖中央的一條小溝槽與齒齦脊之間通過。舌頭的前側應貼住嘴巴前方的側齒,嘴唇則略微繃緊。
-
[t] /t/play_circle_filled要發出t音時,當舌尖抵住齒脊且舌側貼在上側牙時,氣流會暫時被阻隔在聲道內;氣流釋放後便產生送氣音。t的送氣量比/d/更大,尤其是在它是單字首音或重讀音節首音的情況下。
-
[uw] /u/play_circle_filled要發出「oo 音」/u/,雙唇需緊縮成小而緊的圓形;此外,舌背必須抬高,舌緣還可能碰觸到口腔後部的上排牙齒。

The phrase "drag my feet" means to delay or avoid doing something, usually because you don't really want to do it. Imagine literally walking slowly, like you're reluctant to move forward—that's the image this phrase brings to mind. For example, if someone says, "I know I need to start my homework, but I'm really dragging my feet," it means they’re putting it off, probably because it feels boring or overwhelming. We use this a lot when someone’s procrastinating or just not very eager to get something done.
如果你聽到有人說「drag my feet」,意思通常不是字面上的「拖著腳走」,而是形容一個人對該做的事情缺乏積極性、故意拖延,或者因為不情願而慢吞吞地行動。舉例來說,"I know I need to start my assignment, but I'm really dragging my feet" 就是在說「我知道該開始寫作業了,可是我一直拖拖拉拉」。又或者 "He promised to clean the garage, but he's dragging his feet about it",表示「他明明答應要整理車庫,卻一再拖延」。這個片語常用於口語,既可以用在第一人稱 "I'm dragging my feet",也能套用在其他主語,如 "she's dragging her feet";語氣上常帶有輕微的不耐或批評,表示對方不夠主動、缺乏動力。

阿帕標音法: [dr-ae-g-m-ay-f-iy-t] 國際音標: /dræg maɪ fiːt/ -
[d] /d/play_circle_filled為了產生這個音,當舌尖壓在齒槽脊上、舌邊貼緊上側牙時,氣流會被短暫阻止離開聲道。當氣流釋出時,該音帶有送氣。
-
[r] /r/play_circle_filled要發出 r 音時,舌頭的後部抬起,使舌邊接觸後排牙齒。舌頭後部中央較低,氣流沿著這條凹槽通過以產生此音。舌尖可以向上翹,或保持下垂。
-
[ae] /æ/play_circle_filled要發出 ae 音,在形成「短 a」/æ/ 音時,舌頭前端需比發其他任何母音時更向前推,且位置更低。
-
[g] /g/play_circle_filled為了發出g音,當舌後部抬起並抵住口腔後方的軟顎時,空氣會被短暫阻止離開聲道;當空氣釋放時,該聲音便帶有送氣。發出g音所使用的送氣量少於k音。
-
[m] /m/play_circle_filled要發出「m」音,雙唇必須緊閉,阻止空氣從口腔逸出;軟顎下垂,使空氣能經由鼻腔排出。此音為濁音,因此發音時聲帶會振動。
-
[ay] /aɪ/play_circle_filled要發出 aɪ 這個音的開頭時,舌頭要放低並接觸下排側牙;接著當下巴稍微收合時,舌面上抬至接近齒脊,位置類似發 y 音,舌頭前側貼住上排側牙的內側。
-
[f] /f/play_circle_filled要發出「f」這個音時,下巴幾乎保持閉合;下唇內側的上部輕輕貼在上排牙齒的下緣,氣流從上排牙齒與下唇內側的上部分之間被推出口腔。這個音屬於持續性子音,也就是說它應該可以連續發出數秒,且在整個過程中保持均勻、平穩的發音。發音時嘴唇大多保持放鬆。英語學習者常犯的一個錯誤是把下唇過度捲到上齒之下來過度發出這個音,這會在與其他音銜接時造成困難。
-
[iy] /i/play_circle_filled要發出 i 音,舌頭應向前伸,舌身靠近齒脊;相較於英語中的其他所有母音,此音的舌位最高。由於舌位極高,發 i 音時下顎相對閉合。發音過程中,舌頭兩側會接觸到上排側面的牙齒。
-
[t] /t/play_circle_filled要發出t音時,當舌尖抵住齒脊且舌側貼在上側牙時,氣流會暫時被阻隔在聲道內;氣流釋放後便產生送氣音。t的送氣量比/d/更大,尤其是在它是單字首音或重讀音節首音的情況下。

艾賓豪斯的遺忘曲線遺忘的過程最常用「遺忘曲線」來解釋(又叫艾賓浩斯曲線,以 19 世紀 80 年代的德國心理學家赫爾曼·艾賓浩斯命名)。這條曲線描述了隨著時間過去,我們對學過內容的記憶會逐漸減弱。
根據遺忘曲線研究顯示,我們在學習後短短一天內就會忘記約 65% 的內容,一週後甚至可能高達 75%。這也是為什麼學語言常常覺得學了又忘、進步緩慢。如果沒有用對方法,努力可能很快就被大腦「清除」。
如何學得更快、記得更牢
為了幫助你突破學了就忘的困境,我們打造了 MyLingo Tutor - 一套聰明又高效的學習系統,專為加快語言學習與提升記憶力而生。它會針對你學過的每個單字建立專屬的「學習曲線」,自動安排最佳的複習時機,讓你在對的時間複習對的內容,有效防止遺忘,讓學習變得更輕鬆、更有成效。
下圖展示了 MyLingo Tutor 如何追蹤你的學習曲線,並精準安排複習時機,有效強化長期記憶。
