要說一個人是鄉巴佬、沒見過世面
在英文裡的說法是 hillbilly [ˋhɪl͵bɪli]
hill 本身的意思是「山丘」
所以 hillbilly 本來是指住在美國阿帕拉契和歐沙克山區(美國南部)的窮人
這個詞經過流行文化的洗禮,現在已變成「鄉巴佬」的代稱
不過要注意這個詞有貶低別人的意味
所以還是少用為妙哦

我們來造些句:

Jack got into a fight with a hillbilly at the bar.
(傑克在酒吧和一個鄉巴佬打架。)
She resents being called a “hillbilly.”
(她痛恨別人叫她鄉巴佬。)
They are from a hillbilly family, but the children all worked hard to get rid of their accent.
(他們出身鄉下,但孩子們都努力想擺脫掉鄉下口音。)

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.
