Hello, everyone. And welcome back to English with Lucy.
哈囉，大家。歡迎回到「跟 Lucy 一起學英文」。
You may notice that my voice is a little bit different. This is because...I have bronchitis. And a couple of days ago, I couldn't even talk, so you're lucky you're getting this video today. Yeah, it's been, um, not a nice week. But I'm here with new content for you.
你們可能會發現我的聲音有點不一樣。這是因為...我得了支氣管炎。幾天前，我甚至無法說話，所以你們很幸運今天能看到這支影片。對，這禮拜確實，嗯，不怎麼好。不過，我在這裡為你們準備了新的教學內容。
And today I thought I'd do a bit of grammar, which I haven't done in a very long time. Today we're going to talk about adjective order, which is really, really important if you want to sound like a native speaker.
今天我想說可以來談一點文法，我已經很久沒有做這個主題了。我們今天來談談形容詞的順序，如果想聽起來更像英文母語人士，這點非常非常重要。

Let's get on with the video. Now, this is a general order. You might sometimes hear native speakers using a different order, but this is generally the order that we use. It's quite long, but it goes as the following.
那我們繼續來看這支影片。好，這是大致的順序。你有時可能會聽到英文母語者採用不同順序，但大致上我們使用這個順序。有點長，但順序如下。
First, we would say our opinion. Opinion. So, something is "ugly" or "gorgeous."
首先，我們會說我們的想法。想法。像是某物「很醜」或「很美麗」。
Then we would say the size of the noun: big, tiny.
然後我們會說這個東西的尺寸：大、小。
Then we would say the shape: fat, round.
接著我們會說形狀：胖、圓。
Then we would say the condition: broken, dirty.
然後我們會說狀態：破、髒。
Then we would say the age: ancient, new, for example.
接著我們會說存在時間多長：像是古老、新穎。
Then the color: red, white. You guys know the colors.
然後是顏色：紅、白。你們都知道有哪些顏色。
Then the pattern: spotty, striped.
接著是圖案：斑點的、條紋的。
Then we would say the origin: Spanish, Indonesian.
然後我們會說產地：西班牙的、印尼的。
Then we would go on to say the material: cotton, metal.
接著我們會繼續說到材質：棉花、金屬。
And finally the purpose. So, a "sleeping" for like a sleeping bag or a "flower" for a flower pot.
最後是目的。所以說，「睡覺用的」像是睡袋，「擺放花的」像是「花盆」。
So, so this is the order that we use to list the adjectives before a noun. But my top tip is we don't tend to list more than three. So, use this order, pick three of them, and put it before a noun.
那這是我們在名詞前擺放形容詞的順序。但最重要的訣竅是，我們通常不會用超過三個形容詞。那就利用這個順序、挑出三個形容詞，再擺到名詞前面。
So, for example, I've got a red, Spanish, flamenco dress. No, I really, really do. I'm so in love with it. I can't wait to wear it at the Feria de Sevilla this year. Okay, or I could say I am wearing a burgundy, silk blouse.
例如，我有一件紅色的西班牙佛朗明哥舞裙。沒騙你，我真的有，真的。我超愛那件裙子的。我等不及要在今年的賽維亞春會穿上它了。好，或者我可以說我現在正穿著一件勃艮第酒紅色的絲質襯衫。
So, as I like to talk about important items and prized possessions, in the comments, I would like you to write three objects that you really, really love. So, I want you to describe them using adjectives in the correct order.
那現在，就像我喜歡提到一些重要的、珍貴的事物，我希望你們也能在留言處寫下三項你們真的真的非常喜愛的事物。我希望你們用正確的形容詞順序描述它們。
