英文裡有些字詞容易使人誤會
原因是它和中文一樣,有時也有一字多義的情形
比如說search party容易直接照字面上譯為「搜尋派對」
但實際上是「搜尋大/小隊」的意思
指一群為了搜尋某人的人,通常是失蹤的人
這裡的party是一群人,而不是玩樂的派對
就像在餐廳會指一群四個人a party of four一樣

我們來造些句:

They organized a search party for the missing girl.
(他們為這名失蹤的女孩組了搜尋大隊。)
A search party found him dead under a bridge.
(搜尋大隊在一座橋下發現他的屍體。)
He led a search party that fanned out into the woods.
(他率領搜尋大隊進入樹林搜尋。)
(註:fan out是從一個點分散出去的意思)

重連英語 · Rewired English

I’m an American English teacher in Taiwan who works almost exclusively with adults.
I don’t teach tests, textbooks, or children.
My classes focus on speaking, pronunciation, and natural conversation, with real correction — not just chatting.
Classes are 100% in English (this actually helps speaking more than people expect).
I’m opening a few new conversation slots right now.
If you’re an adult who wants to actually speak better, feel free to comment or message me.
