【一天精通一單字】Line
知道嗎?大陸英語八級菁英看美國大片也要靠中文字幕!是不懂俚語嗎?美國小朋友也不懂,不懂深奧的字嗎?大眾化的電影不會有深奧的字。

原因在簡單的Line裡面,小小一個Line,變化多端…

* 實用英語,活用簡單字才是王道 *

國際化是台灣唯一出路,競爭者在對岸,我們用簡單英語就可以輕鬆擊敗"苦讀高深英語"對手

封面故事:
If the abolition of death penalty is a joke, the punch line is “Zheng Jerk”.
(如果廢死是個笑話,鄭傑就是最大笑點 - 諷廢死)

cver

Punch是用拳頭重擊,Line是台詞,Punch Line是笑話或故事最關鍵的詞,通常放在最後,比方電影康斯坦丁,基諾李維肺癌末期,他說上帝有「醜惡的幽默(rotten sense of humor)」,祂的最大笑點是「我是屠夫(His punch lines are killers)」

* 這比喻不太好,怎麼拿鄭傑跟上帝相提並論?
