一問三不知
「一問三不知」，指怎麼問都不知道（say 「I don't know」 to every question），很糊塗或很無知。可以翻譯為「be entirely ignorant; not know a thing」。與英文慣用語「not know the time of day」意思相近，表示「to be completely unintelligent, daft, or not alert」。
例句：
別問他了，他總是一問三不知。
Don’t ask him any questions. He never knows the time of day.

恥辱可能會傷害我們，但到底什麼是恥辱，它是如何產生的？本期 將討論恥辱對人的影響以及應對它的方式。
Humiliation and how to deal with it 如何對待恥辱Humiliation. Many of us have experienced it, right? That horrific feeling of just wanting the ground to open up and swallow us. It’s an awful sensation when someone decides to belittle us and make us feel small. But what is humiliation, and how can we move on from it?Humiliation is quite often compared to the feeling of shame. However, the fundamental difference is that we feel shame is deserved, while humiliation is not. It has more in common with bullying and harassment. Neel Burton M.D says that humiliation results from undermining claims that you have made, such as 「I’m good at my job」, and challenges your authority to make such claims in future.Imagine your colleague shocks you by unfairly calling you out on your work during a meeting with your boss. Or your friend may demean you by questioning your expertise in a hobby or interest in front of your other friends. The presence of others is the key factor in humiliation – a public dressing-down. It also has so many forms and uses in society. Public humiliation is often said to act as a crime deterrent, while it also has a place in comedy. You may enjoy watching a celebrity being roasted: a humiliation designed to highlight faults for comedic effect.So, how can you deal with it? According to psychologist Robert J. Sternberg, there are a few steps you can take. First, you must accept the humiliation and realise you’re not the only one who has felt like this – talk to others who have experienced it and move on. Also, don’t immediately try and strike back for 『round 2』 – often humiliation isn't personal. Lastly, resilience seems to be crucial. Some people say: 「What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger」. While humiliation probably won’t kill you, it can hurt. Why not use the degradation as motivation to become a better worker or learn more about that hobby or interest? It could be an opportunity to start investing more in doing something you love. That way it may have an unexpected benefit.詞彙表horrific 極其可怕的來源：BBC

區別辨析cannot help、cannot but與cannot help but這些詞組均表示「不得不，不禁」之意。
cannot help與動名詞連用，表示「不得不」是口語用法，詞組中的help相當於avoid或prevent，是一種比較好的用法。
cannot but : 後跟不定式連用，是一種較正式的用法，主要用於美國英語。
cannot help but : 跟動詞連用，是cannot but與cannot help的混用，系書面用語，多用於美國英語。由於cannot help but含有雙重否定，所以有人反對使用，認為不合習慣，但此表達法已經沿用下來。
the proof is in the pudding 實踐是真正的檢驗，空談不如實證proof就是證明， pudding是西菜裡的一種甜點，中文翻成布丁。the proof is in the pudding的意思是說「布丁好不好，吃了才知道」，只有通過體驗才能判斷事物的好壞，也就是中國人常說的「實踐是真正的檢驗，空談不如實證」。比如說，你的朋友推薦你用一種洗髮液，你怎麼知道這個產品好用不好用呢？看廣告或是聽推銷員的介紹並不可靠。這種洗髮液適合不適合你，只有親自用一下才知道。這就是：The proof is in the pudding.I have to say I didn't really like your sexy approach to selling our product, but the proof is in the pudding, and our market share has grown. So I have to conclude that you know exactly what you're doing, and keep up the good work!
