Breakthrough

English for Connection

錄第一集的時候,我一直在想一件事:我要學生鼓起勇氣去試,但我自己呢?

這一集談 breakthrough。不是變得很厲害的那種突破,是在還沒準備好的時候,決定開始的那一種。

這一集的表達

每個都附中文意思、英文解釋和例句。聽完可以回來看。

breakthrough

突破

a moment when you move past something that has been holding you back

ExampleFinishing my first English presentation felt like a breakthrough.

hold someone back

阻礙某人前進

stop someone from doing something they want to do

ExampleDon’t let the fear of mistakes hold you back.

show up

出現、到場

to be there and take part, even when you are not sure

ExampleYou don’t have to be perfect. Just show up and give it a try.

keep someone company

陪伴某人

to stay with someone so they are not alone

ExampleI’ll keep you company while you practice your speech.

這一集的句型

一集只教一個,用得上比記得多重要。

Pattern #1

have + something + figured out

把某件事想清楚、弄明白

節目原句I can begin before I have everything figured out.

ExampleYou don’t need to have your whole future figured out right now.

你不需要現在就把整個未來想清楚。

這一集的三句話

節目裡出現的句子,也許有一句正好是你現在需要的。

A disappointing result doesn’t tell the whole story of who we are.

一次令人失望的結果,不能定義完整的你。

Failing at something doesn’t make you a failure.

一件事沒做好,不代表你是個失敗的人。

“You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.”
