I CAN’T SWIM, TOO.米德佳提供中翻英學術論文翻譯，含學術寫作英文編修。「我也不會游泳」這句話的英文真的是這樣說的嗎？絕對不是！看看這些肯定否定的「也」該怎麼說。A. 放句尾：肯定的用 too，否定為 either。
e.g., He can swim, and I can, too. / He didn’t swim, and I didn’t, either.
他會游泳，而我也會。 / 他沒游泳，我也沒有。B. 放句首：肯定的用 so，否定為 neither，後面要倒裝。
e.g., He can swim, and so can I. / He will not swim, and neither will I.（注意這邊的will要改為肯定哦）
他會游泳，而我也會。/ 他之後不會游泳，而我之後也不會。

HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS米德佳提供中翻英學術論文翻譯，含學術寫作英文編修。
在語文運用上，涉及數量的詞語有時是實數，用來確定數目多少；有時是虛數，表示「為數眾多」。Hundred意指「百」。「一百」的英文是one hundred.不要以為「一百」是one hundred，那麼「二百」應該是two hundreds了。這是絕不正確。Hundred是單位 不是量化詞Hundred是一個單位，用以表示一個確實數目，它本身不是需要量化的名詞，故此不必加上s來表示眾數。故此，二百是two hundred，三百是three hundred，四百是four hundred，如此類推。後加"s" 泛指為數眾多如果hundred後面加上s，變成hundreds，便不是數目的單位，而是虛泛的數量描述，表示「為數眾多」或「數以百計」。例如：

I HAVE THREE HUNDREDS DOLLARS.米德佳提供中翻英學術論文翻譯，含學術寫作英文編修。
「我有三百塊」這句話哪裡有問題呀？答案是這句話裡 hundreds dollars 的hundred多了個s。Hundred是單位，用來表達數目因此不能量化，也不需要加上s表達複數，所以這句話應該這麼說：I have three hundred dollars.補充：如果在hundred後加上s，便不再代表單位，而是廣泛地用來表達「數以百計」的意思。
There are two three dollars in my wallet. 這句話乍看之下沒問題因為我們在學 there 這個句型時，後面的 be 動詞要用現在式的 is, are 還是過去式的 was, were

"I AM BORING"米德佳提供中翻英學術論文翻譯，含學術寫作英文編修。記得以後如果你覺得無聊，什麼事也不想做，不要說：I’m boring. 那表示你是個很枯燥乏味的人，還有誰想和你作朋友？你要說：I’m bored. 走筆至此，想到一首很舊的台語歌：無聊的人生 (A Boring Life)，其中一段歌詞是這樣的：
沒有人會直接承認自己很無趣吧？那就別再說I am boring了。外國人若聽到你這樣說應該會嚇一跳！如果你想表達自己無聊沒事做的時候，正確的說法應該是：A. –ed → 感到…
e.g., I am bored. 我覺得好無聊。

米德佳提供中翻英學術論文翻譯，含學術寫作英文編修。看到外國人時，是不是都會很好奇對方從哪裡來的呢？但你知道這句Where are you come from？其實錯了嗎？Be 動詞（am/is/are）不會與一般動詞的原形一起出現，這句話可以有兩種問法：A. 去掉 are，並加上助動詞（疑問句或否定句需要）
→ Where do you come from?B. 去掉 come，並加上介係詞 from
→ Where are you from？那麼要問人家從哪個國家來到底該怎麼問呢？前面說不能把 be 動詞和一般動詞的原型同時用在一個句子裡因此解決方法就是只能用其中一個你可以選擇用 be 動詞，問 Where are you from? (去掉 come )

英文諺語 GENIUS IS ONE PERCENT INSPIRATION AND NINETY-NINE PERCENT PERSPIRATION 天才是一分靈感加上九十九分流汗米德佳提供中文到英文翻譯服務，含英文編修MeaningGenius is largely the result of hard work, rather than an inspired flash of insight.Few proverbial sayings can be attributed to a named individual. In this case, we can name the coiner of the expression – the American inventor Thomas Alva Edison.Edison is first reported as saying “Genius is one per cent inspiration, ninety-nine per cent perspiration" sometime around 1902, in the September 1932 edition of Harper’s Monthly Magazine. It is impossible to know at this remove whether the Harper’s journalists were accurate in their attribution, although no one else appears to have uttered the words before they reported them in 1932.

英文諺語 FORTUNE FAVORS THE BOLD 天助勇者米德佳提供中文到英文翻譯服務，含英文編修MeaningIt is a classic saying that outlines the need for risk in the equation for benefit. If you take the risk you can reap the benefits. You will have good luck if you carry out your plans boldly. This phrase is used to encourage people to have the courage to carry out their plans. Also used as “fortune favors the brave".Fortune or destiny smiles on us if we, by our actions, make it bound to do so. Since ages to the present day, luck goes hand in hand with people who dared to move the system and without any fear, worked out for enforcing something new to the traditional system.History is for their who, by their actions, fought with the prejudiced customs and rituals. To flow with the stream is the normal trait, to move against it is bravery. Fear is a state of mind, to overcome its negativity is bravery. Unless and until one remains more and more positive, bravery would not come. To be in tune with progress and prosperity, one has to be bold enough to cross the hurdles in the path towards destination.生詞fortune：命運favors：[變形] favor的複數形式bold：大膽的

英文諺語 FOREWARNED IS FOREARMED 先知先戒備米德佳提供中文到英文翻譯服務，含英文編修有備無患；凡事豫則立MEANINGAdvance warning provides an advantage; if you know about something beforehand, you can prepare for it.簡譯：
Forewarned = 預先警告
Forearmed = 使預作準備Examples“Before you meet Kate, I should tell you that she’s a little eccentric. Forewarned is forearmed, right?"“Check the temperature before you go outside. Forewarned is forearmed."OriginMany idioms that have no obvious source are often referred to, for no good reason, as ‘old proverbs’. ‘Forewarned is forearmed’ has a genuine claim to be called such, as it dates from at least the end of the 16th century, and could be much earlier. The Latin saying ‘praemonitus, praemunitus’ loosely translates as ‘forewarned is forearmed’. There’s no evidence to show that the English proverb is merely a translation of the Latin though. The two sayings could easily have originated independently.
