相對來說, 加 ing 的 boring 這種形容詞就是主動語態的用法 表示 ”為別人帶來...感覺的” 也就是 ”令人感到...的”, 可以用來指人, 也可以指事物 (因為也有些人會讓別人覺得和他在一起很無聊 ) 像我們可以說: He is such a boring person. He only tells bad jokes. 或 That movie is really boring. = That movie really bores me. 還是覺得有點難記嗎? Sammy 老師來提供一個小 ”撇步” 哦! 我們只要先記住: ed 和 ing, 一個是 ”感到...”, 一個是 ”令人感到...” 搞不清楚時, 就記住: 字少的配字少的, 字多的配字多的 所以 ed 兩個字母就是配中文裡同樣字少的 ”感到” 而 ing 三個字母就配中文裡同樣字比較多的 ”令人感到” 這樣是不是比較好記了呢? 像這樣成對的形容詞多不勝數 比如 tired / tiring, worried / worrying, surprised / surprising depressed / depressing (感到沮喪 / 令人感到沮喪) interested / interesting, shocked / shocking (感到震驚 / 令人感到震驚) frustrated / frustrating (感到挫折 / 令人感到挫折) excited / exciting embarrassed / embarrassing (感到尷尬, 難為情 / 令人感到尷尬, 難為情) 以下有些題目讓大家練習看看哦! 1. I was very _____ (excited, exciting) when my favorite team won. 2. It was really _____ (embarrassed, embarrassing) when Ted fell on his face. (跌個狗吃屎 ) 3. Karen told me about an _____ (interested, interesting) movie she saw. 4. My job pays well, but it is very _____ (tired, tiring). 5.
