I finally gathered all the information for our presentation. Now I just need to finalize the details.
我終於收集齊了我們簡報所需的所有資訊，現在只剩下確定細節。
Sure, I'll bring extra copies of the handouts just in case anyone needs them.
當然，我會額外帶幾份講義的影本，以防有人需要。
That's great to hear! Let's schedule a time to go over everything
太好了！我們安排個時間來逐一檢視所有內容吧。
這個回應是正確答案
I've not put the finishing touches on our presentation.
我還沒有為我們的簡報做最後的潤飾。

search 看英文解釋 arrow_drop_down
(B) is best because it first shows pleasure about the progress ("That’s great to hear!") and then offers the next helpful step ("Let’s schedule a time to go over everything").
This matches what the first speaker needs—help with finishing the details.
(A) only talks about bringing handouts, which is not what the speaker just mentioned.
(C) repeats almost the same idea as the first speaker and adds nothing useful, so it is not a true response.
太好了！一旦你敲定所有事項，就可以讓我們的專案正式啟動。看到一切逐步成形將會十分令人興奮！
search 「break the bank」是一個常見的英語慣用語，用來形容某件事或某筆開銷「會讓你把全部積蓄都掏光」，也就是「非常昂貴」的意思；相反地，如果說「won't break the bank」，就表示「不至於花大錢，可以負擔」。例如：Buying a second-hand laptop won't break the bank.（買一臺二手筆電不會讓你破產。）或者：That designer bag might break the bank, so think twice.（那個名牌包可能會把你花到傾家蕩產，最好三思。）記住，這個片語並不是真的去「搶銀行」，而是誇張地形容花費之大。
search 「set the wheels in motion」直譯是「讓輪子轉動起來」，在慣用語裡就是「啟動某個計畫或程序」的意思，暗示一旦開始，接下來的步驟就會像齒輪運轉般自動推進。比如：Once we sign the contract, we'll set the wheels in motion for the new marketing campaign.（一旦我們簽了合約，就會啟動新的行銷活動。）或是：Her phone call set the wheels in motion for the whole rescue operation.（她的一通電話啟動了整個救援行動。）用這個片語可以生動地表達「開始著手」的概念。
這是正確答案
search 「drag our feet」源自於「拖著腳步走」的畫面，引申為「故意拖延、遲遲不行動」。如果你在團隊會議上說：We shouldn't drag our feet on this decision.（我們不應該在這個決策上拖拖拉拉。）大家就會知道你在催促行動。另一個例句：The company has been dragging its feet about updating the software.（公司對於更新軟體一直拖延。）所以當你想表達「有意耽擱」，就可以用 drag one's feet 這個片語。
The word "finalize" means to complete or bring something to a finished state, especially after going through several steps or decisions. You might hear someone say, “Let’s finalize the schedule by Friday,” meaning they want all the details confirmed and locked in by then. It's often used in both casual and professional settings when something needs to be wrapped up and made official.
「finalize」是一個常見的動詞，通常用來表示“把某件事定案、完成最後定稿”的意思，常見於商務或學術場合。想像一下你寫了一份報告、討論了好幾輪，最後說：We need to finalize the report by Friday. 這裡的 finalize 就是指把所有細節敲定、不能再更動。它的用法多半後面接名詞（finalize the plan, finalize the budget），語氣比 finish 更強調“最終版本、定案”的感覺；口語中也會用 finalized 來做形容，例如：The design is finalized. 若想替換，可以用 conclude、complete、settle 等字，但 finalize 最能凸顯「最後拍板」的語氣。

阿帕標音法: [f-ay1-n-ah0-l-ay2-z] 國際音標: /ˈfaɪnɚˌlaɪz/ -
[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。
-
[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。
-
[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。
-
[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。
-
[l] /l/play_circle_filled要發出 l 音，舌尖置於齒槽嵴的中部；當氣流沿著舌尖、在舌前部與側齒之間通過時，便會產生此音。
-
[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。
-
[z] /z/play_circle_filled要發出「z」音 z，舌尖前端靠近齒槽脊；舌尖應貼近上排門牙內側後方。舌頭保持緊繃，讓氣流從舌尖中央的小溝與齒槽脊前部之間被擠出。舌尖前側貼住口腔前部的側齒，雙唇在發音時略微繃緊。

"Set the wheels in motion" is an English idiom that means to start a process or make something begin. It comes from the idea of setting a wheel rolling, which then keeps moving forward. This phrase is often used when talking about starting plans, projects, or actions. For example, if you want to organize an event, you might "set the wheels in motion" by booking a venue and inviting guests.
「set the wheels in motion」這個片語就像真的把車輪推動一樣，意思是「啟動某個計畫、讓事情開始運作」，通常指你做了第一個關鍵步驟，接下來整個流程就會自動往前走。例如："After months of planning, the committee finally set the wheels in motion." 或 "Signing the lease will set the wheels in motion for our new office." 你可以想成按下啟動鍵，只要這一步完成，後續就順勢展開；在口語和書面語裡都很常見，無論是商務、專案管理，甚至日常生活的安排都能用到。

阿帕標音法: [s-eh-t-dh-ah-w-iy-l-z-ih-n-m-ow-sh-ah-n] 國際音標: /sɛt ðɚ wiːlz ɪn ˈmoʊʃɚn/ -
[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。
-
[eh] /ɛ/play_circle_filled要發出 ɛ 音時，舌頭中部會略微向上拱起，舌邊可能輕觸上下側齒；嘴唇和下顎保持鬆弛、放鬆。
-
[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。
-
[dh] /ð/play_circle_filled要發出 ð 音，舌尖放置於上排門牙後方，舌尖與上排門牙之間會產生摩擦，舌前部頂端與齒脊之間也可能產生微細的摩擦。
-
[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。
-
[w] /w/play_circle_filled要發出「w」這個音時，下顎大多保持閉合，雙唇形成一個小而緊的圓形。這是一個有聲音，因此發音時聲帶必須振動。
-
[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。
-
[l] /l/play_circle_filled要發出 l 音，舌尖置於齒槽嵴的中部；當氣流沿著舌尖、在舌前部與側齒之間通過時，便會產生此音。
-
[z] /z/play_circle_filled要發出「z」音 z，舌尖前端靠近齒槽脊；舌尖應貼近上排門牙內側後方。舌頭保持緊繃，讓氣流從舌尖中央的小溝與齒槽脊前部之間被擠出。舌尖前側貼住口腔前部的側齒，雙唇在發音時略微繃緊。
-
[ih] /ɪ/play_circle_filled要發 ɪ 這個音，雙唇放鬆，舌頭的中央／前部位於口腔的中央／高位。整體中性且放鬆的舌唇位置，使它成為非重讀母音位置常用的發音之一。
-
[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。
-
[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。
-
[ow] /oʊ/play_circle_filled要發出「ow 音」oʊ，舌身需向後推並保持在較低至中低的口腔位置，並能在舌頭兩側感受到下排牙齒；接著稍微抬高下顎，將雙唇收成小圓形，使其過渡到「w 音」w，同時舌身向上抬升，直到舌頭接近硬顎後部。
-
[sh] /ʃ/play_circle_filled要產生「sh 音」ʃ，氣流被迫從舌尖前端中央的寬槽與齒脊後方之間通過，舌面兩側可能會接觸到側齒，雙唇保持微微緊繃，在發音過程中可能略為突出。這個音是一個持續性輔音，也就是說它應該能夠連續發出數秒，並在整個期間保持均勻而流暢的發音。
-
[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。
-
[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。

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。
我終於收集齊了我們簡報所需的所有資訊，現在只剩下確定細節。
太好了！一旦你敲定所有事項，就可以讓我們的專案正式啟動。看到一切逐步成形將會十分令人興奮！
