2021-02-20 成年人零基礎學英語

HONGKONG - At least 77 people were injured Tuesday after two double-decker buses collided just outside the Tai Lam Tunnel in Hong Kong, according to the Information Services Department of China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government.

Around 8:30 am local time on Tuesday, the Fire Services Department of the HKSAR government was informed about this accident, when the two buses collided outside the tunnel, which is a major road in the New Territories, leaving 77people injured.

Most of the injuries were reported to be minor and they had been sent to different hospitals.

Some passengers on one of the buses said that the speed of the bus was normal when the accident happened, according to local media.


double-decker bus 雙層巴士

去過香港的朋友都知道,在香港,出行一般都是乘坐地鐵或巴士,而最常見的就是這種雙層巴士了,文章裡的這張照片是我5月份去香港玩時拍的,話說當時我還不知道雙層巴士的英語說法呢,今天看到這篇新聞才知道原來是double-decker bus,嘿嘿。

collide v. 碰撞,相撞

常和介詞with連用,多用於書面語。在日常英語中,人們一般說run into,而不說collide with。

e.g. Her car ran into the back of a truck.

除此之外,collide還有「衝突、牴觸」的意思。

leave v. 造成、致使

越簡單常見的單詞意思越多,leave就是其中一個。詞性上,它既可以作動詞也可以作名詞;作動詞時,可以和behind,off和out等介詞搭配;與leave相關的習語非常多。大家可以通過「網易有道詞典」和「牛津高階」這兩個APP來查詢這個單詞,進行深入學習。以下是我抽選出來的一小部分常見用法。

maternity/sick/annual leave 產假/病假/年假(n.假期)

The plane leaves at 12:30.(v.起飛)

Over the past two years, 20 staffers have left.(v.離職)

leave sb holding the baby 把活甩給某人

leave sb cold 無法引起某人的興趣

take French leave 擅離職守

minor adj. 輕微的

詞性上,minor可以做形容詞、名詞和動詞。

adj. minor injury/illness/operation/road/error/change/role/key

輕傷/小病/小手術/小路/小錯誤/小改動/配角/小調

n. 未成年人/輔修課程

v. 輔修
