你知道Fun跟Funny的差別嗎?用外語和別人溝通時,我們往往有詞不達意或是用錯字的時候,Ronnie在《engVid》中要為大家介紹一些普遍容易搞混的字詞,讓你不再Confused!

1. Fun 和 Funny

同樣都是形容詞,這兩者有什麼差別呢?Fun 意指”You have a good time”,而Funny 則是”Something or someone that makes you laugh”。

We went on a roller coaster, it was fun!
我們坐了雲霄飛車,很好玩!

2. Surprised 和Shocked

Surprised 是”開心、高興”的驚訝,而Shocked 則是”負面、不好”的驚嚇。

I bought a lottery ticket and won a million dollars, surprise!
我買了樂透還中一百萬,驚喜吧!

I got a phone call that My friend was in a hospital because he got hit by a donkey, I was shocked.
我接到電話說我朋友被一隻驢子撞傷住院了,嚇壞我了!

3.  Famous 和 Popular

Famous指”很多人都認識這個人、事物”,但是Popular 是”很多人都喜歡這個人、事物”。所以一個人Famous不一定代表他很Popular。

George W. Bush is very famous.
小布希總統很有名。
Hitler is famous, but not popular.
希特勒很有名,但不受人歡迎。

Notorious 惡名昭彰的
