Easily Confused Words - 容易混淆的單字

Jan 17, 2019

哈囉, 咖啡滔客的朋友們,

我們今天要討論的是容易混淆的單字. 看看你是否能分辨出來!

breath (氣息) vs. breathe (呼吸)
這個是我們常看到的單字, 但很多學生都會搞混.

首先, 我們必須知道名詞與動詞的不同.
Breath (氣息): 名詞
Breathe (呼吸): 動詞

例句:
After running for 30 minutes, Jane was out of breath.
跑了30分鐘後, Jane快沒氣了.

Before the examination, you should take a deep breath.
考試前, 你應該深呼吸.

It's difficult to breathe after running for 30 minutes.
跑了30分鐘後, 很難正常呼吸.

重點
以後如果只要看到 breath 加個 "e", 就會變成呼吸 (breathe)

out of breath
"out of" = 沒有...的意思
out of time = 沒有時間
out of money = 沒有錢
out of paper = 沒有紙

各位同學, 這樣清楚了嗎?

我們下次見!
