「每日英文閱讀分享#012」
今天是週四，
先跟大家分享一句Albert老師的金句：「你只是暫時沒有理想中的好，但不代表未來你就註定是這樣了！」
常常我都會陷入覺得自己應該英文還不錯的幻想中，但真正遇到挑戰的時候才會深深理解自己的不足。
也很慶幸總是有各種打擊讓我可以一直不斷努力學習。
不知不覺就進入第12天每日閱讀了，
昨天認真的覆盤一下這12天的情況，
發現大部分只能夠把文章看完、貼文寫完，
並沒有辦法在1.5小時內整理完所有單字的筆記，決定先從每天五個並運用開始。
「承認自己做不到100%就先從10%開始！」
讓我們一起每天學習一點點，用積少成多的方式慢慢走得長久吧！
今天不小心廢話太多XD
想問大家，如果要說「把我的希望都寄託在…上了」大家會怎麼說呢？
先想一下不要看答案～
本篇文章用這個片語：pin one’s hopes on…：
to hope very much that (something) will help one or allow one to succeed
本文例句：Sources at political risk consultancies have indicated to me that U.S. businesses have pinned their hopes on a possible end of the Trump presidency following the November 2020 elections.

【東京奧運「照常舉辦」、「延期」還「取消」？外媒這樣表達】
• 各例句取自於 BBC、The New York Times、The Guardian 等來源
• 總提醒：奧運 (The Olympic Games) 因為有很多運動項目，一般 The Olympic Games 被當成複數名詞，不是中文所想的「奧運比賽」，一種大型賽事的感覺。在新聞寫作中，為了避免一直重複全名，很常以 The Games 作為代稱。
• 文章 highlight: 「綜合來講，舉辦在這邊常用的是主動的 take place 或是被動用法 to be held。預定在何時舉辦的「預定」用法有 to be scheduled, to be set, to be due, 以及紐約時報很漂亮的 to be slated. 用法。」
【敘述照常舉辦】
1️⃣ We are doing all we can to ensure that the Games go ahead as planned.
這句話使用了 to go ahead as planned 當作照常舉辦。是官方和外媒最常使用的說法。as planned 為 as it is (was) planned 的省略.
2️⃣ The organizers are doing everything they can to have the games go on in the summer as planned.
這邊使用的是 to have the games go on (後面也是使用 as planned) 。有關繼續，也可以用 to continue as planned/scheduled.
3️⃣ The International Olympic Committee has sought to play down fears of Tokyo 2020 being delayed because of the coronavirus outbreak by insisting the Games will go ahead as scheduled.
這邊使用的是 to go ahead as scheduled.
【敘述東奧的舉辦起迄時間】
綜合來講，舉辦在這邊常用的是主動的 take place 或是被動用法 to be held。預定在何時舉辦的「預定」用法有 to be scheduled, to be set, to be due, 以及 to be slated.
紐約時報果然是紐時，用了 to be slated 的漂亮用法。
1️⃣ The Games of the XXXII Olympiad are set to take place from July 24 to Aug. 9 in Tokyo and surroundings.
這邊使用了 are set to take place
2️⃣ The board "expressed its full commitment to the success of the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 taking place from 24 July to 9 August.
這句也使用了 take place, 但小心注意句型的不同
3️⃣ The Games are due to be held from 24 July to 9 August.
這邊使用了 are due to be held
4️⃣ The Summer Olympic Games are scheduled to be held from July 24 to Aug. 9 in Tokyo.
只差一點，這句使用了 are scheduled to be held
同樣使用 are scheduled to be held 的還有這句，但因為這句的重點是放在「會被延期」，所以以插入語的方式補充說明。
5️⃣ The Olympic Games, which are scheduled to be held this summer in Tokyo, could be postponed until later this year amid the coronavirus outbreak.
6️⃣ For weeks, there's been speculation that the viral outbreak could disrupt the Tokyo Olympics, which is slated to start on July 24.
【延期這樣說】
1️⃣ Speculation of a delay had mounted further when Japan’s Olympic minister, Seiko Hashimoto, had said the Games could be moved to the end of the year because of coronavirus.
延到年底 "to be moved to the end of the year"
2️⃣ Tokyo 2020 Olympics could be postponed amid the coronavirus outbreak.
這句使用的是 to be postponed
3️⃣ If the coronavirus is not under control by summer, the Tokyo 2020 Olympics contract may allow for postponement.
這邊使用的是名詞 postponement，整體感覺會比直接說 to be postponed 比較抽象一些。
4️⃣ The 2020 Tokyo Olympics won't be delayed by the coronavirus outbreak.
當然大家最常使用的 delay 也是一個選項 (注意詞性喔)
