喜樂美語

核心畫面

Picture the flat open floor on top of a ship — one solid level you can stand on, with more levels stacked below it. Most of the word's uses are that same idea of one flat level: inside a ship, on a bus, out the back of a house. A couple of the other uses no longer show a clear link to it and are best learned on their own terms.

可以想成：船頂上那片平坦的地面——一個可以站人的水平面，底下還一層一層疊著。這個字大部分的意思都是同一個想法在不同地…更多收起可以想成：船頂上那片平坦的地面——一個可以站人的水平面，底下還一層一層疊著。這個字大部分的意思都是同一個想法在不同地方出現：船裡的樓層、巴士的上下層、屋子後面的木平台。另外幾個用法（一副牌、裝點布置）跟這個畫面的關聯在現代英文裡已經看不太出來，分開記反而輕鬆。

From the picture

音響的播放座

可以想成又是一塊平台，只是這次擱在上面的是卡帶或唱片；這個聯想幫助記憶就好，不必當成確定的來源。

tape deck · noun · B2

A machine, or part of one, that plays tapes or records.

（音響的）播放座

一副撲克牌

這個意思跟「一層平面」的關聯，在現代英文裡已經感覺不出來了，直接記住這個搭配最實用。

deck of cards · noun · B2

A complete set of playing cards.

一副（牌）

把場地裝點起來

這個動詞跟船上的甲板看不出明顯關聯，比較像是各走各的路；當成獨立的一個字記，反而不會混淆。

decorate festively · verb · B2

To decorate something with things like flowers, flags, or lights, especially for a celebration.

裝點／布置

一拳把人打趴（口語）

這裡可以借用甲板的畫面幫忙記：把人打到「地板」上去。標記是 informal，用在敘述衝突的口語裡。

knock down · verb · B2

To hit someone hard enough to knock them down (a very informal word).

打倒／揍倒
