Should I Say Something？ 轉述真相風波
大家說英語 20241204
修正英文文法，保留中文部分，同時將簡體中文修改為繁體中文
Sure! Here’s the revised version with the grammar corrected and the simplified Chinese characters converted to traditional Chinese:
Hello everyone,
Welcome to Let’s Talk in English. My name is Esther,
And my name is Garrett. Today,
We’re going to have a story.
It’s our talk-about-it story,
And the name of our story is Should I Say Something?
Hmm,
Should I say something?
So our story must be about someone
Who’s wondering if they should speak up.
Right now,
Today our story takes place at a workplace. We have two people,
A man and a woman, and they are talking to each other now.
We are going to have some different themes in our lesson today,
Like when you need to be honest,
And how to work with your co-workers
And your boss.
Right, your boss is the person who gives you
Your work, and they are in charge of you.
Now, let’s go to our find-it question.
Our question is: What did Tiffany’s last boss
Do? What did Tiffany’s last boss
Do? Answer that question now. Here’s Sonya.
Mike 无意間聽到一對男女的對話
男生問對方
上個月 Tiffany 是不是加入了你的團隊
Tiffany joined your team last month, right?
動詞 join 就是加入
還問 Tiffany 做得如何
女生是 Tiffany 那一部門的主管
她回答說她做得還 OK
Well, her work is okay.
Tiffany’s boss replies, 動詞 reply 就是回答
不過他接著表示
自己並不喜歡跟 Tiffany 一起工作
想讓她離開
Later, Mike goes to a coffee shop,
Thinking about the conversation he just overheard.
Tiffany appears
And asks him what he’s thinking about.
Mike says, “Not much,
It’s not important.”
形容詞 important 就是重要的
他們聊起 Tiffany 的新團隊
Tiffany 說她很喜歡這個新老板
不像以前的老板
事情慢一點做完就會被他大吼大叫的
She yelled when I didn’t finish something fast enough.
動詞 yell 就是大聲吼叫
Mike問 Tiffany，
那現在的老板喜歡你嗎?
雖然他心裡已經知道了真實的答案。
And the new boss enjoys working with you.
Mike asks, knowing the true answer.
形容詞 true 就是真實的
Tiffany 覺得新老板應該喜歡她。
你覺得 Mike 該不該告訴她真相呢?
Mike walks out the door of his office building.
He sees a man and a woman
And hears them talking. Tiffany joined your team last month, right?
How is she doing? Well,
Her work is okay,
Tiffany’s boss replies.
But I don’t like working with her, so I might let her go.
Mike walks past them,
He goes into a coffee shop and sits down.
We start off with a man called Mike,
And he walks out the door of his office building.
As he is doing that,
He hears two people talking.
He hears them talking about something,
And he listens.
He hears Tiffany joined your team last month, right?
Now, if you join a team,
It means you become part of the team.
And Tiffany joined the team last month, yes.
Now this man says,
How is she doing?
The person he is talking to is Tiffany’s boss.
Tiffany’s boss says, Her work is okay.
Right, and we heard the word replies.
Tiffany’s boss replies. If you reply, it
Means you answer someone, yeah?
You are responding to a question or a statement. Well,
We continue this conversation, and here,
But I don’t like working with her,
So I might let her go.
Again, that’s from Tiffany’s boss.
Oh no! Tiffany’s boss might let her go. If Tiffany gets let go,
It means her boss is going to fire
Her, to tell her not to go to work anymore. Mike walks past them,
And he goes to the park and sits down.
Let’s take a moment to listen to Sonya.
今天的文章說到
Mike 從 Tiffany 的老板和朋友身邊走過
Mike walks past them. 句中 past 為介系詞，
另有動詞過去式 past.
這兩個單字的發音相同，
都是 past.
兩個都可以做“經過”解釋，
但用法不同。
我們先來看做介系詞的 past 的例句：
John walked past the bicycle store on his way to work.
John 走路上班，
途中經過了那家自行車店，
或是 Are you going past the post office today?
你今天會經過郵局嗎?
再來看過去式動詞 pass 加 ed 的例句：
I passed the new supermarket on my way home.
我回家的路上經過了那家新超市，
或是 She passed my classroom three times today.
她今天經過了我的
教室三次。
Thank you, Sonya.
What’s Mike going to do with this information?
Let’s learn in the next part of our story.
Mike is sitting in the coffee shop when a woman walks up to him.
Hi,
Mike,
Why are you sitting here by yourself?
Oh, hi,
Tiffany.
I’m just thinking about something. What are you thinking about?
Not much. It’s not important.
How do you like your new team?
Do you like your boss?
She’s great. We get along really well.
Now Mike is sitting in the coffee shop,
And the woman who walks up to him
Is actually Tiffany, right?
And of course,
We know
He knows a secret or two that has to do with Tiffany, right?
Tiffany asks Mike why he’s sitting here by himself.
So no one is sitting next to Mike; he is alone.
And Mike says he’s thinking about something. What do you think
He’s thinking about right now?
That’s what Tiffany wants to know.
As well, what does
Mike reply? He says, Not much. It’s not important.
Hmm, well,
We know it probably is important,
But maybe he’s just not ready to share it with her yet.
That’s why he tries to make it sound like
It’s not very important. If something is important,
It is big news, it has a lot of influence, right?
And you might need to know about it, so
Mike asks Tiffany, How do you like your new team?
Do you like your boss?
Yeah, he
Wants to know how she’s feeling about her job,
So he can know how to respond to what she’s saying. Well,
Tiffany is actually really excited.
She says she gets along really well with her team, right?
And if you get along well with someone,
Or get along well with the team,
It means you work well with them,
And you enjoy working with them. So
Tiffany gets along really well with her boss.
That’s what Tiffany thinks,
But Mike knows that’s not true for Tiffany’s boss. Tiffany’s boss
Doesn’t get along with Tiffany. Hmm,
That’s true, friends. We will finish this in just a moment. First,
Let’s take a quick break. We’ll be right back.
Let’s Talk in English, ten minutes every day,
Every day, that’s the way. Welcome back.
Friends, do you get along well with the people
You work with or go to school with?
Do you talk about your lives
Outside of work, and do you work well on projects together?
Right, it’s really important to try
Our best to get along well with those around us.
We can try doing that by being a friend,
But what do you do
When you don’t get along well with someone?
That is an important thing to think about.
Let’s get back to our story.
That’s good.
So you wouldn’t want to try a new team and a new boss?
No,
I like this boss.
My last boss wasn’t very patient.
She yelled when I didn’t finish
Something fast enough.
And the new boss enjoys working with you.
Mike asks, knowing the true answer.
I think so.
She usually says nice things to me. What should Mike do?
Mike heard a conversation.
He should tell Tiffany about it. Mike shouldn’t say anything.
It’s none of his business. Your choice.
What would you do?
Now Mike is happy to hear
Tiffany gets along well with her boss, right?
But he does kind of give a suggestion in the form of a question.
He wants to know
If Tiffany wouldn’t want to try a new team and a new boss, right?
He wants to hear Tiffany’s reply. Tiffany replies by saying, No,
I like this boss. I like this boss.
And I like today’s calendar phrase:
I like this boss.
I like this boss. 我喜歡這位老板
Do you like working here?
Yes, I like this boss. The boss isn’t very patient,
But I like this boss. Sometimes
The boss yells. I like this boss. Why do you like him?
He’s my dad. Oh,
I like him too. He’s a great boss.
I like this boss.
I like this boss.
我喜歡這位老板
Now Tiffany tells us about her last boss. She says that her last boss wasn’t very patient.
If someone is patient, they are willing to hear what you have to say,
And they give you time to answer, right?
That might be why Tiffany thinks her boss right now is quite a bit better.
Well, friends, did you find the answer to our
find-it question?
What did Tiffany’s last boss do?
She yelled when Tiffany didn’t finish something fast enough.
Now, if you yell at someone,
It means you speak to them in a very loud voice,
And often not in a nice way, yeah?
Yelling can be quite mean. No one likes to be yelled at.
But we do love to learn new phrases with Sonya.
Tiffany說我只要完成工作的速度不夠快
他就會對我大吼
She yelled when I didn’t finish something fast enough.
Tiffany says單字enough是足夠的意思
可以用作形容詞，也可以作副詞
本句中fast enough的enough是副詞
修飾前面的形容詞
fast表示夠快的意思
我們先來看enough當副詞的例句
The dance music isn’t loud enough.
跳舞的音樂不夠大聲
或是The boss thinks that we are not busy enough.
老板覺得我們不夠忙
但是如果enough是當形容詞
就要放在名詞的前面
來看例句
We have enough food for everyone.
我們有足夠的食物供給所有人
或是I don’t think you drink enough water.
我覺得你水喝得不夠多
Thank you so much, Sonya. So Mike asks about her new boss, right?
Now, does her new boss enjoy working with Tiffany?
Of course, we know Mike knows the answer, right?
Mike knows the true answer, the real answer. If something is true,
It means it is right and not false.
Tiffany thinks that her boss does like her.
She usually says nice things to her. What should
Mike do? Should
he tell the truth? Think about that.
As we review our keywords, here’s our first keyword: join.
Join: Molly joined a dance class.
Reply: He replied to the question.
Important: This information is important.
Yell: We could hear her when she yelled.
True: Is the information true, friends?
Those are today’s key words. Keep practicing!
And now, it’s your turn.
Today’s words are join, important, yelled, and true. Now
it’s your turn to use them in a sentence. First one:
I will reply to them in a few days.
Correct. I will reply to them in a few days. Next,
He has an important job to finish.
Good job!
He has an important job to finish. Next:
Tell me the reason.
Great job! Tell me the true reason. Next:
Her mom yelled at us.
You’re right! Her mom yelled at us. Last one:
May I join you for lunch?
Good job! May I join you for lunch?
Friends, that’s all for today.
You’re welcome to join me again for your turn.
Mike walks out the door of his office building.
He sees a man and a woman and hears them talking.
Tiffany joined your team last month, right?
How is she doing? Well,
Her work is okay.
Tiffany’s boss replies.
But I don’t like working with her, so I might let her go.
Mike walks past them.
He goes into a coffee shop and sits down.
Mike is sitting in the coffee shop when a woman walks up to him.
Hi, Mike,
Why are you sitting here by yourself?
Oh, hi, Tiffany.
I’m just thinking about something. What are you thinking about?
Not much. It’s not important. How do you like your new team?
Do you like your boss?
She’s great. We get along really well.
That’s good.
So you wouldn’t want to try a new team and a new boss?
No, I like this boss.
My last boss wasn’t very patient.
She yelled when I didn’t finish something fast enough.
And the new boss enjoys working with you?
Mike asks, knowing the true answer.
I think so. She usually says nice things to me.
What should Mike do?
Hi, Ginger,
What are you doing?
Just thinking.
Thinking about what?
Not much. It’s not important.
Oh, okay.
But do you enjoy working with me?
Well, that’s a scary question.
Well, do you?
Yes, of course.
I enjoy working with you.
Oh, that’s good. We get along really well, right?
Uh, yeah.
Of course we do. You won’t let me go, will you?
Of course not. We’re co-workers.
We’re friends. We’re family.
Yay, that’s good.
Ginger, do you enjoy working with me?
Yeah, especially when you give me a banana.
Yeah.
Hey, thanks, James.
You’re the best.
No, you’re the best.
No, we’re both the best.
Ha ha.
Hello, Grandpa. What’s new?
Nothing’s new.
What’s new with you?
I have some questions for you.
That’s not new. You always have questions.
True.
But these are new questions. Are you ready?
I’m always ready. Ask me anything.
Okay.
What does Mike hear
In front of the office?
Oh, he hears a man and a woman talking about you.
Talking about me?
What did they say?
Oh no, wait now.
I remember. They weren’t talking about you.
Mike hears a man talking about Tiffany.
Yeah, Tiffany.
Oh, what did he say about Tiffany?
What did they say?
We can talk about that later.
Here’s the next question: Who do you get along with really well?
That’s easy. I get along really well
With everybody. I like everyone and everyone likes me, right?
That’s right. Now,
What did they say about Tiffany?
Tell me everything, Grandpa. Does she get along?
Will the boss let her go?
Will she join the other team?
Tell me everything.
Friends, what would you do
If you were Mike? Gara, what would you do?
Well, I don’t think we always need to share secrets that we hear,
But I think in this case, if Mike really does care about Tiffany,
He probably needs to say something. If he doesn’t,
Tiffany is going to have a very hard time at work
And will be very surprised if she gets let go.
Right, if she gets fired,
She’s going to be very sad.
Maybe Mike can say it in a nice way to let Tiffany know
She needs to talk to her boss.
Yeah, maybe that way
She can get ready for it
And make some changes that will be helpful for her.
Right, friends?
Talk about this with your friends as well,
And we’re going to say goodbye
And see you next time right here on
Let’s Talk in English. Goodbye!
