2008年11月23日蘋果日報蘋果派生活美語
對話
Stylist:Lean back and let me wash the shampoo out of your hair. How’s the temperature of the water?
髮型師︰請往後躺,好讓我把您頭髮上的洗髮精沖掉。水溫還可以嗎?
Customer︰It’s too hot.
顧客︰太燙了。
Stylist︰OK. What about now?
髮型師︰喔,現在覺得如何?
Customer︰Much better.
顧客︰好多了。
Stylist︰Are you having any problems with your scalp?
髮型師︰您的頭皮還有任何問題嗎?


「句」細靡遺
★How’s the temperature of the water?水溫還可以嗎?
幫顧客沖水時,詢問水溫(temperature)是否恰當的其他說法尚有下列:
◇Is the water temperature alright?這水溫可以嗎?
◇Is this temperature comfortable?水溫還舒服嗎?
◇Is the water too hot/cold for you?水溫會不會太燙╱太冷?
◇Is the water warm/cool enough?水溫剛好嗎?
★Are you having any problems with your scalp?您的頭皮還有任何問題嗎?
幫顧客洗頭時,可以順便詢問頭皮(scalp)是否還有其他地方要加強的,這時可以這麼說:
◇Are there any problems with your scalp that we should take care of?
=Are you having any problems with your scalp that you’d like to take care of?
關於您的頭皮還有任何需要護理的地方嗎?
◇Have you had any scalp problems?您有任何關於頭皮的困擾嗎?
◇Has your scalp been causing you any trouble?您的頭皮有令你困擾的地方嗎?
◇Have you been experiencing any itchiness or flaking recently?您最近有頭皮癢或掉頭皮屑的情形發生嗎?
★itchiness n. 發癢的感覺
◇itch vi. 發癢
◇itchy a. 癢的
例:My skin started to itch because of my sunburn.(我的皮膚被太陽曬傷後就開始癢了起來。)
例:An itchy scalp is often a sign of other problems.(頭皮會癢通常是其他問題的徵兆。)


字字珠璣
★lean vi. 倚靠╱斜靠╱傾斜
◇lean back往後靠
◇lean against...斜靠在……之上
例:The sign on the MRT car said, 〝Please don’t lean against the door.〞(捷運車箱上的標示寫著:「請勿倚靠車門。」)
★Much better.好多了
此處的much是副詞,用來修飾其後的形容詞 better。
可用來修飾比較級形容詞或副詞的計有下列6個副詞:far, much, a lot, a great deal, still, even。
例:She speaks English much more fluently than she used to.(她現在講英語比以前流利多了。)
◇fluently adv. 流利地
例:That car consumes a lot more fuel than this one.(那輛車比這輛車耗油多了。)
◇consume vt. 消耗
