「如果你知道答案嘅話,就請舉手講喇。」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?
簡單嚟講,raise 嘅意思係 lift up 或者 put up,其實已經包含咗 up 嘅意思。
raise
= lift up
如果我哋講 raise
up your hand 嘅話,
就會變成 lift up up your hand ( 多咗個 up 啦 )。
所以,正確答案係 B。
而 A 喺文法上係唔正確嘅 ( ungrammatical )。
又或者下次你要祝酒嘅時候,可以講 Please raise your glass for a toast 。
