Today, I'm going to explain the difference between 'to steal' and 'to rob'.

今天，我要解釋一下 "偷 "和 "搶 "的區別。

Both to steal and to rob mean to take something without permission.

"偷 "和 "搶 "都是指未經許可拿走東西。

To steal focuses on the object or the thing which is taken.

重點放在被拿走的物體或物品上。

For example, "Somebody just stole my phone."

例如，有人剛剛偷走了我的手機。

For example, "The man robbed a bank last night."

例如，該男子昨晚搶劫了一家銀行。

I wouldn't say "Someone robbed my phone."

我不會說「有人搶了我的手機。」

I would say "They robbed me and stole my phone."

我會說，『他們搶劫了我，還偷走了我的手機。」

大家好，我是 BBC 學習英語的 Sam。

And today we are looking at the difference between 'no,' 'not any' and 'none.'

今天我們來看看 "no"、"not any "和 "none "之間的區別。

And I can say this in three different ways.

我可以用三種不同的方式來表達這個意思。

"Sorry, I have no change" where we use the verb have with no followed by a noun.

「對不起，我沒有零錢」 這個句子用 have 和 no 後面跟名詞的用法。

"Sorry, I don't have any change" where we use the negative don't followed by the verb, followed by any, followed by the noun

「對不起，我沒有任何零錢」這個句子用否定 don't＋動詞＋any＋名詞。

Or I can say "Sorry, none at all" where we use none without a verb or a noun.

或者我可以說「抱歉，一毛錢都沒有」這個句子用 none，不搭配動詞或名詞。

So now, you shouldn't have any problems with this.

所以，現在你應該不會有任何問題了。

And today we're gonna look at the difference between 'lay' and 'lie.'

今天我們就來看看 "lay "和 "lie "的區別。

So lay always has an object and it means: put something or someone down carefully.

Lay 總是有受詞，意思是小心翼翼地放下某物或某人。

"When I eat, I lay a cloth on the table."

「我吃飯時會在桌子上鋪一塊布。」

「你可以把嬰兒放在小床上。」

The past tense is laid but careful with the spelling.

過去式是 laid，但要注意拼寫。

「我把所有的底牌都擺在了檯面上。」

The verb lie doesn't have an object and it means that you are in a flat position or you put yourself in a flat position.

動詞 lie 沒有受詞，意思是你處於平躺狀態或你讓自己處於平躺狀態。

Tonight, I want to lie on the sofa and watch a film.

今晚，我想躺在沙發上看電影。

But be careful. Now, the past of lie is lay.

但要小心。 這個字的過去式為 lay。

"Yesterday, I lay on the beach and read my book.

「足天，我躺在沙灘上看書。」

Hi everyone, Dan from BBC learning English here.

大家好，我是 BBC 學習英語的 Dan。

Today we're going to talk about 'don't mind' and 'doesn't matter.'

今天我們來談談 "不介意 "和 "無所謂"。

The verb mind means dislike, be annoyed by or object to.

mind 這個動詞的意思是不喜歡、討厭或反對。

It's followed by verbing and often used in negatives and questions.

後接動詞 ing，常用於否定句和疑問句。

For example, "Do you mind opening the window?"

例如，「你介意打開窗戶嗎？」

If someone says "I don't mind," it means that they have no preference or that they are happy for something to happen.

如果有人說「我不會介意」這意味著他們沒有偏好，或者說他們樂於接受某件事情的發生。

However, the verb matter in English can mean be important.

不過，英語中的動詞 matter 可以表示 important（重要）。

English matters means English is important.

English matters 意味著英語很重要。

If we say "It doesn't matter," it means that the thing that we are talking about is not important or not significant.

如果我們說 "無所謂"，那就意味著我們正在談論的事情並不重要或沒有意義。

Sometimes they can both mean the same thing.

有時，它們的意思可能是一樣的。

你好，我是 BBC 學習英語的 Phil。

I'm gonna tell you three facts about 'the.'

我要告訴你三個關於 "the "的事實。

We use the, when we're referring to a specific thing and that both you and the person you're talking to know which one you mean.

當我們指代一件具體事物時，我們會使用 "the"，你和你說話的對象都知道你指的是哪個。

We can see the bottles and we know it's that one.

Number two, we don't use the when we're talking about something in general.

第二，我們在談論一般事物時不使用 the。

Number three, we don't use the when it doesn't matter which thing we're talking about; we usually use, a, or an here.

第三點，當我們談論的事物不具體時，我們通常不使用 "the"；在這種情況下，我們通常使用 "a" 或 "an"。

我不在乎用哪種杯子，任何杯子都可以。

大家好，我是來自 BBC 學習英語的 Georgina。

Do you ever wonder about the differences between 'next,' 'the next' and 'nearest'?

你是否曾想過 next、the next和 nearest之間的區別？

Next means immediately after this one and is often used with day, week, month or year.

next 表示緊接著這一個，通常用於日、周、月或年。

"I go on holiday next Tuesday." "I'll start my diet next week."

「我下週二去度假。」「我下週開始節食。」

The next means the period of time starting from now.

The next  指的是從現在開始的一段時間。

Nearest means the closest to something or someone in distance.

Nearest 是指在距離上最接近某事或某人。

「最近的公交車站就在那邊。」

"I think we should stay at Susie's. She lives the nearest to the airport."

「我覺得我們應該住在 Susie 家，她住在離機場最近的地方。」

'Peep,' 'peer' and 'glimpse' are all verbs of sight that mean look at something but are used in different situations.

Peep、peer 和 glimpse 都是視覺動詞，意思是看東西，但在不同的情況下使用。

「我的朋友偷看了我的考試答案。」

This verb means to look at something quickly and secretively.

這個動詞的意思是快速而隱祕地查看某樣東西。

"I peered at the document trying to understand it."

「我看著文件，試圖理解它。」

Peer means to look at something intently or carefully in detail.

Peer 指專注或仔細地觀察某個事物的細節。

"I was peering at the clock in the distance."

This example means that I had difficulty reading the clock.

這個例子的意思是，我很難看清時鐘。

Maybe the clock was very small or I had bad eyesight.

可能是鐘太小了，也可能是我視力不好。

"I glimpsed the sunlight through the trees."

Glimpse means to see something for a short time or to only see part of something.

瞥見的意思是短時間看到某物或只看到某物的一部分。

We often use glimpse as a noun with the verb catch.

我們經常把瞥見作為名詞與動詞 catch 搭配使用。

For example, "I caught a glimpse of Phil as he left the office."

例如，「我在 Phil 離開辦公室時瞥見了他。」

Today, I'm going to explain the difference between 'what' and 'which' in questions.

Consider the question, what do you want to eat for lunch?

例如這個問題，「你中午想吃什麼？」

Here, there are no choices to limit your reply.

We use which when we have options to choose from.
