Let’s “go” 淺談英文片語
Learning the use of English phrasal verbs 學習英文片語的運用
T： Thomas M：Mark
M： Hello Thomas! I am so happy to bump into you again for the second time today! Just the right time and right place.
T: Hi Mark! It’s good to see you again, but why is it the right time and right place?
M: Because I’ve got a difficult text to summarise, and I must get it done soon. Can you help me?
T: Sure. Let me go over it.
M: How do you mean “go over”?
T: Please read through it first, instead of passing over it. That’s what I said
M: Oh, I see.
T: Should I go for it now?
M: You just said, “Go for it” ! What does that mean then?
T: Going for it means choosing to do that. OK. Let me go ahead with it and then get back to you right away.
M: Now, I can see that you are playing with phrasal verbs.
T: You are quite observant, Mark! Right. I said all that deliberately to make you get into the task. Now, you have a go at it yourself. And then I’ll tell you afterwards where you went wrong. OK?
M: Thanks. I’ll go through it now (nodding and smiling).
M: 你好Thomas！很高興今天第二次踫見你！真的是恰當的時間和地點。
T: 嗨Mark！再次見到你真好，不過，為甚麼你說是在恰當的時間和對的地方？
M: 因為我有一篇很難深的文章要做撮寫，我必須盡快完成。你能幫忙嗎？
T: 當然可以。讓我仔細看一看（go over）。
M: 你所指的「go over」是甚麼意思？
T: 請你先仔細閱讀（read through ） ， 而不是略讀（passing over）。這就是我的意思。
M: 噢，原來是這樣。
T: 現在我可以開始去做嗎﹖
M: 你剛才說「go for it」，它又是甚麼意思﹖
T: 「Go for it」意思是選擇這樣做。好吧，讓我繼續（go ahead）吧，然後馬上回答你。
M: 現在，我開始明白了，你正在玩英文短語文遊戲，對不對﹖
T: Mark，你的觀察力很好！對的。我故意說那些短語，是為了讓你理解文章的要旨。現在，你可以自己動手嘗試。之後我會告訴你哪裡出錯了。好嗎？
M: 謝謝。我現在將仔細再看看（點頭微笑）。
