That caught me by surprise! I'm Emma from mmmEnglish and in today's lesson, we're going to go over five expressions using 'catch'.
那讓我大吃一驚!我是Emma,歡迎來到Emma的美味英語,在今天的課程中,我們要學習五個和「catch」有關的表達。
It's going to be short and sweet, this lesson. We'll just focus on words that are often used with 'catch' in English.
We call these common collocations, words that are often used together in English sentences and learning which English words are often used together will help you to sound more natural when you speak English yourself.
這節課程會非常地言簡意賅。我們會側重於英文中經常使用的和「catch」有關的詞彙。我們稱之為常見的固定搭配,這些單詞在英語句子中經常都是一起使用的,學習哪些英文詞彙經常一起使用能夠幫助大家說英語的時候聽起來更加自然。
Oh and later in the lesson, I've got a quick homework task for you and a book that I want to recommend for you. It's one that I'm sure you'll adore so stay tuned.
在本節課程的後面呢,我會為大家布置一個小小的家庭作業,以及有一本我想推薦給大家的書。我肯定大家都會喜歡的,所以敬請期待吧!

Okay so you've probably heard of this verb 'catch' right? But did you know that you can catch a cold?
但是你們知道你們會感冒嗎?你們可能點火嗎?
That you can catch on fire? Or catch a whiff of something?
或者是聞到一點點東西的味道?如果你們感冒的話,意思就是你們生病了。
If you catch a cold, it means you're sick. You can catch the flu, you can catch a virus or any type of airborne sickness.
你們可能會患流感,你們可能染上病毒,或者是空氣傳播的疾病。這是你們可能會患上的疾病。
It's something that you can catch. My throat is kind of starting to hurt, I think I've caught a cold.
我的喉嚨有點痛,我覺得我應該感冒了。你們也可以聽到別人說什麼。
You can also catch what someone said. Or not catch it if you didn't quite hear them.
或者是如果沒有聽清楚的話,就可以說沒聽到。你聽到他剛才說什麼嗎?
Did you catch what he just said? I just caught a whiff of something delicious!
我剛聞了一點點好吃的味道!你能聞到嗎?
Can you smell it? If you catch a whiff of something, it means that you can smell something.
如果你聞到一絲什麼味道的話,意思就是你能聞到某個東西。可能是味道很好的東西,比如說剛出爐的烤蛋糕或者是麵包,但是也可能是不好的東西。
Now it could be something good like a freshly baked cake or loaf of bread but it could also be something bad.
When we walked past his room, I caught a whiff of his dirty gym clothes.
當我們走過他的房間的時候,我聞到他髒髒的健身服的味道了。如果某件事情吸引你的眼球的話,那它就是吸引了你的目光。
Now if something catches your eye, then it attracts your attention. You're curious and you're interested.
你很好奇,很感興趣。是你想要得到的某件事情。
It's something that you desire or you want. A cute little cafe on the corner caught my eye when I was walking by.
當我經過的時候,角落裡的一個小餐廳吸引了我的目光。有天去吃個飯還不錯。
I'd like to go there for lunch one day. I think the guy who made your coffee this morning caught your eye.
我覺得今天早晨給你做咖啡的人吸引了你的目光。注意哦,這個表達一般都是和過去或者是完成時連用,因為通常都是出人意料的事情,是個驚喜。
Now notice that this expression is used, often used, with past or perfect tenses because usually it's unexpected, it's a surprise. So often you're reporting about something after it happens.
一般都是在某件事情發生之後報告這件事情。吸引別人的目光和吸引別人的注意力其實是存在著細微的區別的。
Now there's a really subtle difference between catching someone's eye and catching someone's attention. Hey, hey!
嘿嘿!你還在聽嗎?
Are you still listening? I'm trying to catch your attention, I'm doing something to try and make you look and watch me. I'm trying to catch your attention.
我試著吸引你的注意力,我通過某種方式試著讓你看我。我在努力吸引你的注意力。我再努力讓大家保持對這節課程的興趣,這是個有意為之的行為。
I'm trying to keep you interested in this lesson and it's a deliberate action.
I'm trying to catch your attention.
我在努力吸引你們的注意力。我們這個廣告設計得非常抓人眼球。
We created the advertisement to be really catchy.
We wanted to catch the attention of shoppers as they walk past.
我們想要在顧客經過的時候吸引他們的注意力。我們使用「catch」來表達非正式的再見。
We use 'catch' to say goodbye informally. Catch you later!
再見啦!不久之後見!或者是幾分鐘之後見!
Catch you soon! Or catch you in a few minutes! And these are all ways of saying see you soon.
這都是表達再見的方式。再見啦,稍後再見。
See you soon, see you again soon. I'm running late for my appointment, but I'll catch you soon!
我的約會要遲到了,咱們後面再見!再見啦!
Catch you later! But don't go anywhere just yet, I've still got your homework to go through plus I'm introducing a new segment to my lesson where I make a recommendation about a book that I've been reading or a podcast that I've been listening to which I really want to recommend to you because I think you'll enjoy it.
但是先不要離開啊,我這裡還有你們的作業要告訴大家呢,除此之外呢,我會給我的課程增加一個新的部分,在這個部分中,我會推薦我正在看的一本書或者是我正在聽的播客,我真的非常推薦給大家,因為我覺得你們肯定會喜歡的。我剛先給大家介紹的是這本書——《夜色中好奇的狗》。
The one that I want to start with is this book, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.
Now I read this book years ago but I was recently reminded of it again when I found it on Audible and I listened to it.
我是幾年之前讀的這本書,但是我最近在Audible上面發現它的時候突然想起了它,所以就聽了。
這本書是以十五歲患有自閉症男孩的視角出發的,他在調查鄰居家狗狗的死亡。這本書並沒有一直在強調這個男孩,也就是克里斯多福患有自閉症,但是它給予了我們看待這個世界的完全不同的視角,那就是他的視角,這真的非常與眾不同。
It's told from the perspective of a fifteen year old boy who has autism and he's investigating the murder of his neighbour's dog.
Now it doesn't dwell on the fact that this boy, his name's Christopher, that he has autism but it allows us to view the world from a completely different perspective, his perspective, which is fascinating.
Christopher takes us on an investigation with him and it leads to more incidents that need to be investigated so it's quite gripping.
克里斯多福帶著我們和他一起探索,而且引入了更多需要調查的事件,真的非常扣人心弦。
這本書並不是很長,而且詞彙並不複雜,也就是意味著對於大家而言這本書讀起來還是挺合適的。它使用的都是日常英語。
Now the book's not too long and the vocabulary is not overly complex which means it's a really great book for you to read. It uses everyday common English.
Now I've added a link to the book in the description below but I've also added a link to Audible where you can download the audio book and listen while you read.
我已經在下方的描述區添加了這本書的連結,但是我也添加了Audible的連結,大家可以通過這個連結下載有聲書,然後在讀書的時候可以聽。
你們知道我會推薦你們讀書來擴充你們的詞彙,但是讀書的時候同時聽能夠讓你探索其他的英語技能。
You guys know that I always recommend that you read books to expand your vocabulary but listening while you read allows you to work on some of the other skills, English skills, at the same time.
So you're listening obviously but it also helps to improve your pronunciation as well.
你們雖然是在聽音頻,但是確實可以幫助你們提升發音。
閱讀和聽書的音頻是練習英語固定搭配的很好的方式,因為你們可以體會它們是如何在語境中使用的,而這能夠幫助你們更加自然地使用英語,就像英語母語者那樣。
Reading and listening to books are an awesome way to practise English collocations because you experience English as it's used in context and this is going to help you to use English more naturally yourself, just as native English speakers do.
So if you do read it, or you have read it before then let me know what you think about The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time in the comments below.
如果你們正在讀的話,或者是之前已經讀過的話,那就在下面的評論區告訴我你們對《夜色中好奇的狗》這本書的意見吧。
今天課程的作業呢就是用你們今天學到的五個表達造句,就是和「catch」有關的表達。
Now your homework for today's lesson is to write a sentence using each of the five expressions that you learned today, those expressions with 'catch'. Write them in the comments so that I can check them and make sure that you're using them correctly.
寫在評論區吧,這樣我就可以檢查一下,保證你們使用都是正確的。
