月亮傑克的英文學習札記

這期是第四期了，以後沒有特別的話，大致上會照著前三期的模式來發行電子報。每三期一個循環，內容則是一篇中高級文章，一首英文歌曲，一篇初級文章。

附上一篇今天剛收到的霹靂火英文，蠻有趣的，也可以學個不爽的片語：

我心情若不好，我就會不爽，
我不爽我就想要報仇，
我若報仇下去，
下一個要死什人，連我自己都不知道。

If I don't feel good, I will get pissed off.
When getting pissed off, I'd like to take revenge.
Once I take revenge, even I myself don't know who is going to die next.

1. piss off：使生氣、使惱怒、使不爽
You really pissed me off.
你讓我很不爽

2. revenge ：報復
The U.S. took revenge on Iraq by bombing their cities.

• Power was restored Friday night to most of New York and other parts of the United States and Canada affected by the widespread blackout that struck those areas Thursday.
  
• re-establish power
  
• Investigators continue to hunt for clues to the cause of the outage that cut electricity from east of New York, north to Toronto and west to Detroit, Michigan -- an area home to about 50 million people.
  
• A joint U.S.-Canadian task force will be formed to identify the causes of the recent power outage.
  
• In addition to trying to find the cause of the outage, the task force will seek solutions to help prevent future outages.
  
• Others lost service because there was no power to supply cell sites, which house the antennas that transmit calls.
  
• Train service will resume its normal weekend schedule at midnight for all branches of the railroad.
  
• Interest will continue to accrue on overdue taxes, but penalties will be waived.

透過這篇文章可以知道一些很實用的用字，如： blackout , outage, restore power etc...
總之這麼大條的事情，是應該要知道一下啦。學了這些字，遇到美國人也可以哈啦一下哦。
