最近 clap back 也是個流行的片語
clap 原本是指拍手的動作
但是 clap back 不是「拍(手)回去」的意思哦
它是指很快地對不友善的言論(或對待)做出回應
而且通常有讓人閉嘴的效用
也就是「回擊」的意思
像最近有個娛樂新聞標題是：Jennifer Garner Claps Back at Commenter Asking if She’s Pregnant
(珍妮佛嘉納回擊留言者問她是否懷孕一事)
(珍妮佛嘉納是知名演員，也是班艾佛列克的前妻，現年已48歲，所以是不太可能再生小孩了。她本人則是肯定地說自己不會再生小孩了)
它也可以當作名詞用，兩個字寫在一起變成 clapback，是可數名詞
這也是一個因饒舌歌手而紅起來的片語
喜歡看(網路)英文報章雜誌的人可以學一下哦
我們來造些句：
The singer clapped back at rumors of her divorce.
(這名歌手對她離婚的傳言作出回擊。)
The athlete gave a humorous clapback at his alleged drug abuse.
(那個運動員對他濫用藥物的指控作出幽默的回擊。)
His wittiness shows in his clapbacks at the haters.
(他的機智充分表現在他對憎恨者的(言語)回擊中。)

Do you stare at your blank homework page?
Are you confused why your paper is covered in red?
Do you have trouble learning new things because you didn't understand the previous lesson?
Have you lost your curiosity, so learning English is boring?
