※ 引述《paulchi (paul)》之銘言： : 個人不認為 It is raining soon. 是好英文，但是從「同情的了解」角度 : 出發，能夠解出語意。 : 我相信tijj大到處詢問的高人們，也都是從這個角度來看待這個句子的。 : 因此如果將我上一帖編出的對話，拿去給英文母語人士看，我賭一塊錢，大多數會說 : 還過得去 (重點，不是正確，而是「還過得去」)， : 尤其美國南方的鄉巴佬，要講文法規則，他們肯定輸給板上的各位賢達。 : 我比較好奇的是，大家的英文如果都這麼好，幹嘛不用英文來吵？ : 我起了頭，沒人要跟，很沒勁。我有跟呀~ 問篇如果是純英文我回時都會回英文。 : xxx : 語言是不斷演化的， : 所以： You had better -> You better 這種variation，只要用得人多， : 就會有編寫文法書的人，把它寫進去， : 書印出來後，就會成為...成為...成為遠東小島國上的國民，捧著當作 : 聖經一樣，引經據典數落誰誰誰的英文不好、不夠道地、不夠正確的圭臬。 : Language is a tool through which we express our thoughts. The great : comedian George Carlin once said that we do think in language, so the : quality of our thoughts can only be as good as the quality of our : language. : You may think that the idea derived from the above statement justifies : this lengthy debate over the validity of the expression in question. : The hell it doesn't. You realise this expression means "it does," right? A: Theory 1 is correct. B: Theory 1 is incorrect because it doesn't take into account Y. A: The hell it doesn't. Y is taken care of in a corollary. ( ￣ c￣)y▂ξ : Fucking Carlin would be laughing in his grave knowing people on a far : east island with adequate English proficiency have been so hung up : on such trivial grammtical crap while what they really should be doing : is have meaningful discussion on matters that actually CONCERN THEM, : like cross-strait politics and economics, the Euro debt crisis, : the environment and green energy and whatnot, because THAT would be : great exercise to put their language skills to test - force themselves : to THINK in English. Carlin is funny but I wouldn't let a funny old man dictate what I like to discuss. I discuss many of those things you mentioned - and yes, in English - just not here. Doing that here would be off-topic. And since I like to discuss many things with many different people, I believe it's important to master grammar, so that I can think and write precisely. : But hell no. : We don't do that. I find your assumption about the rest of us insulting. : We have to dig deep and find out if 'it is raining soon' : is grammatically correct. : Pathetic. All of us. I'd say 'dedicated' :) -- I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now But the airways are clean and there's nobody singing to me now -Bittersweet Symphony, The Verve -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 70.166.3.190
