現在讓我們從這篇BBC新聞報道中瞭解更多關於這個故事的資訊。

An environmental campaign group has said there are more than 500 delegates representing the fossil fuel industries at the cop 26 summit.

一個環保運動組織說，有500多名代表化石燃料行業的代表參加了26日的峰會。

Global Witness analyzed the participant list published by the un the summit in Glasgow is into its second and final week.

全球見證組織分析了聯合國公佈的與會者名單，在格拉斯哥舉行的峰會已進入第二週，也是最後一週。

So as you just heard the cop 26 climate summit in Glasgow in Scotland continues its in its second week now.

所以，正如你剛才聽到的，在蘇格蘭格拉斯哥舉行的第26屆氣候峰會繼續進行，現在已經進入第二週。

And the organization Global Witness claims that there are more representatives from the fossil fuel industries at the conference than from any single country.

而全球見證組織聲稱，在這次會議上，來自化石燃料行業的代表比任何一個國家的代表都多。

And we've got three words and expressions we can learn about to talk about this story, haven't we?

而我們已經有了三個可以學習的單詞和表達方式來談論這個故事，不是嗎？

所以這就是代表團的化石和沼澤。

And we're gonna find out where these words appear in the news headlines.

而我們將找出這些詞在新聞頭條中出現的地方。

那麼，你的第一個標題是什麼？

Please kneel Okay, well my first headline comes from the BBC and it is a cop 26 fossil fuel industry has largest delegation at climate summit.

請跪下 好吧，我的第一個標題來自BBC，它是一個警察26化石燃料行業在氣候峰會上擁有最大的代表團。

That's delegation, a group of people chosen to represent an organization.

這就是代表團，一群被選來代表一個組織的人。

而且它的拼寫是D E L E G A T I O N。

And the delegation is a group of delegates, is that right?

而代表團是一組代表，是這樣嗎？

So a delegation is a group of people delegation but it's a group of people made up of delegates.

是以，代表團是一群人的代表團，但它是由代表組成的一群人。

And delegates are people who are there to represent the interests of an organization.

而代表們是代表一個組織的利益的人。

That organization could be a company or a country, right.

這個組織可以是一個公司或一個國家，對吧。

And we tend to say we send a delegation somewhere, don't we to do something.

我們傾向於說，我們派一個代表團去某個地方，是不是要做一些事情。

You send a delegation somewhere so that you don't have to send all of the members of the organization to express their opinion.

你派一個代表團去某個地方，這樣你就不必派該組織的所有成員去表達他們的意見。

It's more efficient to have a small group of people representing those views and opinions.

由一小群人代表這些觀點和意見，會更有效率。

So those are the delegates and they make up the delegation.

所以這些是代表，他們組成了代表團。

Now, what about the verb form I've heard about to delegate something.

現在，我聽說過的動詞形式是什麼，即委託某事。

Uh notice the difference in pronunciation.

It's spelled exactly the same way as delegate a person, delegate, but the verb is to delegate, delegate and you delegate work when you give it to somebody else to do on your behalf.

它的拼寫與委託一個人、授權完全一樣，但動詞是委託、授權，當你把工作交給別人代為完成時，你就把它委託給別人。

是以，例如，呃，這經常發生。

Your boss is too busy says he's too busy or too lazy uh and gives you the work to do.

你的老闆說他太忙或太懶呃，把工作交給你去做。

They might say I like to delegate this work to you.

他們可能會說，我喜歡把這項工作委託給你。

It means give you the responsibility for doing it and the act of doing that is delegation.

它的意思是把做這件事的責任交給你，做這件事的行為就是授權。

So we come back to that word delegation but this is a slightly different meaning.

所以我們回到這個詞的代表團，但這是一個稍微不同的含義。

So a delegation that we heard at the beginning is that group of people group of delegates, but in this sense that we just talked about from the verb to delegate that activity is delegation.

所以我們一開始聽到的代表團是那一群人的代表，但在這個意義上，我們剛才談到的從動詞到委託的活動就是委託。

Okay, now if my boss was to delegate some work to me and I want some more money for that, would I send a delegation to the boss to demand more money for that?

好吧，現在如果我的老闆要把一些工作委託給我，而我想為此多要一些錢，我是否會派人去找老闆要求為此多要一些錢？

No, again, that is something that would happen at a higher level.

不，還是那句話，這是在更高層次上發生的事情。

Um it would be more organized, more official.

嗯，這將是更有組織的，更正式的。

So if you were really upset about the fact you've been given some extra work to do, you might speak to your trade union if you were a member of a trade union and eventually they might organize a delegation or send some delegates to a meeting with your employer.

是以，如果你真的對你被分配了一些額外的工作感到不滿，如果你是工會成員，你可能會與你的工會交談，最終他們可能會組織一個代表團或派一些代表與你的僱主會面。

Thanks for that Neil let's have a summary of that word.

謝謝你，尼爾，讓我們對這個詞做個總結。

Mhm mm If you want to talk more about cop 26, we have a special one off video that teaches you some useful vocabulary about the conference and climate change in general.

如果你想更多地談論第26條，我們有一個特別的一次性視頻，教你一些關於會議和一般氣候變化的有用詞彙。

人們在哪裡可以看到這個視頻尼爾？

Yes, well they need to do is click on the link below to learn some really crucial expressions such as net zero and circular economy.

是的，他們需要做的是點擊下面的鏈接，學習一些真正關鍵的表達，如淨零和循環經濟。

好吧，請問你的下一個頭條是什麼？

The next headline is from the mail online and it is a cop 20 six's largest delegation The fossil-fuel industry.

下一個標題是來自網上的郵件，它是一個警察20六的最大代表團，化石燃料行業。

More than 500 people with links to oil and gas interests are accredited for summit more than from any single country says study that's fossil made from decay materials from thousands of years ago.

超過500名與石油和天然氣利益有關的人被認可為峰會超過來自任何一個國家的研究說，這是幾千年前的腐爛材料製成的化石。

So in this case this is actually a fixed expression fossil fuel and the fossil refers to the old materials and decaying animals from thousands and thousands of years ago.

是以，在這種情況下，這實際上是一種固定的表達方式化石燃料，而化石指的是幾千幾萬年前的舊材料和腐爛的動物。

That turned into coal turn into oil that we then burn.

這變成了煤，變成了石油，然後我們燃燒。

And it puts that carbon into the atmosphere.

And it relates to a fossil which is something that I might find on a beach for example.

它與化石有關，而化石是我可能在海灘上發現的東西，例如。

It's it's like a shape of an old creature in a rock isn't it?

這就像岩石中的一個古老生物的形狀，不是嗎？

So this word fossil is also often used in a very sort of similar similar meaning those imprints or impressions of animals from thousands and thousands millions of years ago that are inside rocks that have been compressed over many thousands of years.

是以，化石這個詞也經常被用於一種非常類似的意思，即那些來自幾千年和幾百萬年前的動物的印記或印象，這些印記或印象在經過幾千年壓縮的岩石內。

Yeah but the fossil and fossil fuels I say are these old creatures and plants but not the actual shape of them.

是的，但我說的化石和化石燃料是這些古老的生物和植物，但不是它們的實際形狀。

They're the actual decayed thing aren't they?

他們是真正的腐爛的東西，不是嗎？

Now how come I've heard you being called a fossil because you're not anything to do with a shape of something of rock are you?

現在我怎麼會聽到你被稱為化石，因為你和岩石的形狀沒有任何關係，是嗎？

So we're talking about an insult here rob.

所以我們在這裡談論的是一種侮辱，搶劫。

If you want to say that someone is very old or has very old fashioned ideas about something, you can refer to them as a fossil.

如果你想說某人非常老，或者對某事有非常老式的想法，你可以把他們稱為化石。

You can say that person is a fossil and also dinosaur.

你可以說那個人是化石，也是恐龍。

I suppose that's something from a long time ago.

You can also with a similar meaning refer to somebody with old fashioned views as a dinosaur.

你也可以用類似的意思把具有老式觀點的人稱為恐龍。

Now both of these are insults but like with a lot of insults.

現在這兩個都是侮辱性的，但就像很多侮辱性的東西一樣。

It depends on the context in which he used them.

這取決於他在什麼情況下使用它們。

It can be amusing and friendly if it's amongst friends.

如果是在朋友之間，它可以是有趣和友好的。

Which is what it is When I'm calling you a fossil.
