Tips for English conversation 1

• 口語 vs. 英文書寫
• 關係遠近
• 文化脈絡,說話時的情境
• 不要怕犯錯，帶著好玩的心

原句:

"The boss talked at me the whole morning."

不當的翻譯:

"老闆整個早上都在對我說話。"

正確的翻譯應該是: 

"老闆整個早上都在對我說教。"

"The boss talked to me the whole morning."

"老闆整個早上都在與我交談。"

兩者的區別在於:

1. "Talked at" 意味著老闆是單方面地對你說話,沒有真正的溝通互動,通常帶有負面的諷刺意味,如斥責、訓話等。

2. "Talked to" 則表示老闆是在與你進行正常的交流對話,雙方之間存在互動。

因此,"talked to me"比"talked at me"更加中性,意味著一種正常、友好的溝通方式。
