You are the first doctor to give a damn about his quality of life. 你是第一個在乎他生活品質的醫生。 在電影或是影集當中常常聽到”give a damn about sth./sb.”代表的意思就是在乎某事或某人。這種用法在英文的口語中很常用，其實就代表著”care about sth./sb.”的意思。想要表達”我才不在乎他怎麼想呢!”你就可以說”I don’t give a damn about what he thinks!” 類似的用法還有”I don’t give a shit.”代表著”我才不在乎呢!”不過這樣的說詞比較粗魯，使用時要注意說話的對象。如果你想說”我一點都不在乎這個工作，因為我即將有一個比這更好的工作!” 那麼你就可以說”I don’t really give a crap about this job because I’ll have a better job soon.”這種用法也比較不文雅，其實想想看”shit”和”crap”原本代表的意思，就知道為甚麼這樣的說法會不文雅了。 |

You have a hunch? 你有預感？ 有時候不知怎麼地，就是對某些事情的發生有預感，而常常後來證明自己的預感是正確的。但要用自己的預感去說服別人去冒險做事，難怪會受到責難。 警察辦案或是醫生治病時，有時”預感”可以幫助他們釐清思緒，這時你就可以說”I have a hunch that maybe we can solve the problem by doing this.”意思就是”我有預感也許這麼做可以解決問題。”看球賽看到一半時，你也可以說”I have a hunch that this team will lose.””我有預感這支隊伍會輸。” 其實偶爾一次”跟著感覺走”，應該結果也會不錯。”I followed my hunches and they paid off.”意思就是”我跟著我的直覺走，結果證明我是對的。”看來我們多多少少都有一些”靈性”呢。 |
