💡 It’s very therapeutic.
therapeutic 是therapy (n.治療) 的形容詞,意思是「有療效的、療癒的」。
類似「療癒」「撫慰人心」的其他說法 : comforting a. 撫慰的 / soothing a.舒緩的 / healing a.治癒的 / calming a.鎮靜的
comforting 是comfort (n./v.安慰)的形容詞。表達「令人安慰的」,指能帶來安慰、撫慰或情感上的舒適。 至於comfortable 是指物理上的舒適,通常形容身體上的舒適感或環境的宜人,涉及到身體的感覺而非情感。
healing 是 heal (v. 治癒) 的形容詞。指身體的康復,也可指情感或心理的療癒。
soothing 是 soothe (v. 安慰,撫慰) 的形容詞。意思是「舒緩的、撫慰的」,多用來形容能減輕痛苦或壓力的事物,如音樂、茶或聲音等。
calming 是 calm (v. 冷靜) 的形容詞。用於描述能夠減輕焦慮或壓力的事物。

💡 Talk is cheap. / Easier said than done. 說得容易做得難
“Talk is cheap.” It means that it’s easy to say something, but actually doing it is much harder.
Talk is cheap 意為「開空頭支票;隨便說說而已」。這個慣用語於 1800 年代開始使用至今,但確切起源不得而知。
1800 年代流行的成語中有幾個是以 talk is cheap 作開頭,
如 talk is cheap but it takes money to buy a farm、talk is cheap but it takes money to buy whiskey、talk is cheap until you hire a lawyer 等等。
Let’s dive deeper into some related vocabulary and phrases you can use when talking about words and actions.
補充學習
Actions speak louder than words.
talk the talk and walk the walk(句構:肯定+肯定)
情境對話
Duncan: You keep saying you’re going to quit your job, but talk is cheap. 你一直說要辭職又不辭,用講的誰不會。
Erskine: I know, but this time I’m serious. I’m already looking for new jobs. 囉唆,這次是認真的。我已經在找新工作了。
Duncan: Don't talk the talk, just walk the walk. I’ll believe it when I see it. 不要光說不練,說說哥喔。等你找到我才信。
Erskine: Fair enough. Just wait and see. 合理。你拭目以待啦。

💡「我真的臭手」英文怎麼說?
Luck isn't on my side.
I have bad luck. (這是比較直白的表達,說明你的運氣不好。)
I have a cursed hand(文學) / a losing hand (常見:撲克牌).
(這個表達稍微誇張一些,特別適合用在賭博或需要運氣的遊戲中,暗示你的手氣總是很差。)
補充學習
*這條「法則」強調的是一種幽默、悲觀的觀點,認為如果有事情可能出錯,它就有極大的機率真的會出錯。雖然這並不是一條科學定律,但在日常生活中,人們經常用它來解釋或吐槽那些計劃失敗、情況不如意或不幸發生的情形。例如,當你忘記帶傘的時候,偏偏那天就下大雨;或者當你趕時間的時候,偏偏遇到塞車。這些情況都可以用 Murphy's Law 來形容。
情境對話
E: Duncan, I have an extra CHIIKAWA capsule toy. Do you want it?
當肯~我有多的吉依卡哇扭蛋,你要嗎?
D: Why did you buy the same thing twice?
你為什麼要買重複的東西?
E: Actually, i just have bad luck. I bought a few capsule toys, and when I opened them, I found that I got two of the same one.
我就臭手啊。其實我買了一些扭蛋,但我打開的時候發現有兩個一模一樣的。
D: Oh, I see. Thanks.
喔好呀,謝謝!

你是說有拿米其林的那間嗎?如何?
Erskine: Honestly, I think it’s overhyped. The food was just okay.
講真的,我覺得過譽了,食物就很普。
Duncan: Really? I heard it was amazing. Maybe it’s just because you have no taste when it comes to good food.
