house-broken (或寫成housebroken)字面上看起來是「房子被打破」
不過可別誤會
它其實是指寵物(通常是狗)學會在哪裡便溺的意思(不論室內外)
也可以說house-trained，是個形容詞
如果用在人的身上就是訓練此人懂得社交禮儀、規矩的意思
不過比較少是此義

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.
