💡「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

• Bungler (n. 笨手笨腳的人 can’t doing thing right）/ Screw-up (ph.）【俚】把(某物)弄糟; 搞亂某事 / Fumble (n. 笨手笨腳地做）
• clumsy (adj.) 笨手笨腳；不靈活的
• unlucky (adj.) 不幸運；倒楣的
• Murphy’s law (n.) 墨菲定律－"Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong."「凡是可能出錯的事情，最終一定會出錯。」

*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。

• down on somebody’s luck 不走運
• I’m all thumbs. 笨手笨腳

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！

💡「我覺得過譽」英文怎麼說？
I think it’s overrated.
“I think it’s overrated.” It’s a straightforward way to say that something just isn’t as great as people make it out to be.

• “It’s overhyped": This is similar to “overrated,” but it specifically implies that something has been excessively promoted or hyped up, but fails to live up to those expectations. 偏向指即將發行的東西－電影、歌曲、團體

Michael Jackson vs Taylor Swift （還在繼續的）

• "It’s just okay.": This is a more casual, softer way to express that something didn’t meet your expectations without sounding too harsh.
• “It’s just meh.” *meh-a noise people make.
• “It’s not as great as everyone says.”

是喔？我聽說超好吃的，可能是因為你豬舌吃不懂吧。

文化閒聊
找餐廳/吃美食會看google reviews嗎

💡「你說了算」英文怎麼說？
If you say so.
"If you say so" is a phrase we use when we agree to something, but maybe are not entirely convinced. It’s like a way of saying, “I’ll go along with what you’re saying, even if I’m not 100% sure about it.” It can be sincere or sarcastic, depending on how you say it.

• "Whatever you say": This can be used in a similar context but often comes off as more dismissive or passive-aggressive.
• "I’ll take your word for it": This one suggests that you trust the other person’s judgment, even if you don’t have all the details yourself.
• "It’s up to you": This phrase is more neutral and shows that you’re leaving the decision to the other person without any implied doubt.
• "You’re the boss": This is a more playful way to say “You decide,” often used when you’re willing to follow someone else’s lead.

補充學習
我說了算 Because I said so.（父母常對小孩說）
那就這樣（決定）了 It’s settled then.

Erskine: Trust me, it's totally worth it. I guarantee you’ll love it.
放心啦，絕對值得。我保證你會愛的。
Duncan: If you say so… You’ve got expensive taste, my friend.
你說了算…品味真是高啊，朋友。
