舉手答問題


如果你知道答案嘅話,就請舉手講用英文點講呢?

If you know the answer, _________________________________.
(A)  please raise up your hand
(B)  please raise your hand

你會揀 A 還是 B 呢?

簡單講,raise 意思 lift up 或者 put up,其實已經包含咗 up 意思。
raise = lift up

如果我  raise up your hand 嘅話 就會變成 lift up up your hand ( up  )

所以,正確答案係 B

 文法上係唔正確嘅 ( ungrammatical )

又或者下次你要祝酒時候,可以講 Please raise your glass for a toast
