嗨，大家準備好讓你的英文技能在夢幻旅行中派上用場了嗎？

Yeah, we’re going to make sure you can handle any conversation, even if things get a little uh lost in translation,

沒錯，我們要確保你可以應付任何對話，即使有時候會有一點語言上的小誤會。

right? Like you’re in a busy market or trying to catch the train and suddenly you didn’t quite get what someone said.

對吧？像是當你在熱鬧的市場裡，或者趕著搭火車時，突然沒聽懂別人說的話。

It happens to all of us. But don’t worry, that’s what this deep dive is all about. We’ve got you covered.

這種情況誰都會遇到，不過別擔心，這集就是要來深入解析這個問題，我們幫你準備好了！

We’re focusing on three super useful phrases.

我們今天要學的是三個超實用的句子。

Your secret weapons to make sure the conversation keeps flowing.

這是你的秘密武器，讓對話可以順利進行下去。

Exactly. Even if you need someone to repeat themselves. And guess what? These phrases are so common even native English speakers use them all the time.

沒錯！即使你需要請對方重複一次也沒關係。而且你知道嗎？這些句子超級常見，就連母語人士也每天在用！

Seriously, no need to feel shy about using them.

真的，不需要害羞，大膽用起來！

All right, so let’s jump right in. Phrase number one, could you say that again?

好，直接來看看第一句：「Could you say that again?」

That’s the classic. It works pretty much anywhere.

這是經典款，幾乎任何情境都適用！

Like imagine you’re trying to buy tickets for a show, but the cashier is speaking super fast.

比如說，你在買演出票，結果售票員講話超快，聽不懂。

That’s a perfect example. You can just say, “Excuse me, could you say that again, please?”

這時候就可以說：「不好意思，你可以再說一次嗎？」

Nice, polite, and clear. Now, let’s make it even better.

禮貌又清楚，接下來我們來強化一下這句話的效果。

Pronunciation is key. So, for could you say that again? Think of it like asking any question in English. Gently raise your own at the end like could you

發音是關鍵！所以在說「Could you say that again?」的時候，語調要稍微上揚，就像問問題一樣。

ah I see like you you’re curious not demanding.

哦~ 懂了，就是帶著好奇心，而不是命令的語氣。

Exactly.

沒錯！

Awesome. So that’s our first phrase. Perfect for formal situations. But what about when you’re hanging out with you know some new friends you met while traveling.

太棒了！這是我們的第一句，非常適合正式場合。不過，如果你是跟旅行時認識的新朋友聊天呢？

Things are a bit more casual then. Right. That’s when you can use phrase number two. Sorry. What was that?

這時候氣氛比較輕鬆對吧？所以我們可以用第二句：「Sorry, what was that?」

Okay. I like this one. It sounds more relaxed.

哦~ 這句不錯，聽起來比較輕鬆自然！

It is. And you’re acknowledging you might have missed something

沒錯，而且這句話是在表達「哦，我剛剛沒聽清楚」，

without sounding rude though.

但又不會讓人覺得不禮貌。

Yeah. Exactly. Say it with a genuine curious tone. Sorry. What was that? Imagine you’re at a hostel. Someone’s telling you about a cool place to visit and you missed the name of the place.

對，重點是語氣要帶點好奇：「Sorry, what was that?」想像一下，你在青年旅館，有人跟你推薦一個很棒的地方，但你沒聽清楚地名。

It’s just natural to ask again in that situation, right?

這種時候自然地再問一次，沒問題吧？

Definitely. It shows you’re interested and want to keep up with the conversation.

絕對沒問題！這反而表現出你的興趣，想要繼續聊下去。

Okay. Love it. So, we’ve got Could you say that again, please? For more formal moments. Sorry, what was that for casual jets? Now, what about when you’re with your close friends?

好，我喜歡這個！所以我們有正式場合用的「Could you say that again, please?」，比較輕鬆的「Sorry, what was that?」。那如果是跟超熟的朋友呢？

All right, for those super informal times, we’ve got our final phrase. And this one’s a bit fun. Come again.

這時候就可以用最後一句，而且這句超有趣——「Come again?」

Wait, come again.

等等，「Come again?」？

Yep. Don’t let the word come throw you off. It’s actually an idiom.

沒錯，不要被「come」這個字嚇到，這其實是一個慣用語。

It just means could you Repeat that but in a more playful way.

它的意思跟「能再說一次嗎？」一樣，只是更有趣、更輕鬆。

Okay. So like you’re joking around with your travel buddy.

哦，所以是當你跟旅伴開玩笑時用的？

Yeah. Maybe they make a joke you didn’t quite get. You can just say come again with a smile.

對，比如說，他們講了一個笑話但你沒聽懂，你可以笑著說「Come again?」

Ah, gotcha. So it’s like your secret code for I totally missed that. Tell me again.

啊，懂了！這就像是一句「欸？我剛剛沒聽懂，快再說一次！」的暗號。

Exactly.

沒錯！

All right. So we’ve got our three magic phrases. Could you say that again, please? Sorry. What was that? And for the best buds, come again.

好啦，我們今天學了這三句「魔法句子」：正式的「Could you say that again, please?」，輕鬆點的「Sorry, what was that?」，還有超熟朋友間用的「Come again?」。

And remember, the key is to practice.

記住，關鍵就是多練習！

Yeah. The more you use them, the more natural they’ll feel

對，越常用就會越順口，

and the more confident you’ll be in any English conversation.

而且也會讓你在英文對話中更有自信！
