1 單字 & 片語

fabulous
/ˈfæbjələs/
adj. 極好的；棒極了
fabulous
a fabulous facility很棒的設施
a fabulous idea很棒的想法
have a fabulous time玩得非常開心
The new sports facility looks fabulous. 這座新的運動設施看起來棒極了。
用法fabulous 表示非常好、棒極了，常用來表達正面感受。美式口語中也常說 great、awesome 或 wonderful，但 fabulous 的稱讚語氣更強。
facilitate
/fəˈsɪləteɪt/
vt. 促進；使事情更容易
facilitate
facilitate trade促進貿易
facilitate teamwork促進團隊合作
facilitate access to services促進服務取得
A clear plan can facilitate teamwork. 清楚的計畫可以促進團隊合作。
用法facilitate 表示使某事更容易或促進某事。初階先使用 facilitate + 名詞。不要寫成 facilitate to do something。
facility
/fəˈsɪləti/
n. 設施；場所；服務機構
facility
a sports facility運動設施
a medical facility醫療設施／醫療機構
an AI facilityAI 設施／AI 中心
The school has a new sports facility. 這所學校有一座新的運動設施。
用法facility 是可數名詞，指提供某種功能的建築、場所或設備。常見複數是 facilities。談學校、醫療、資料中心或大型場所時，用 facility 強調「這個地方有特定功能」，語氣比 building 正式。
factor
/ˈfæktər/
n. 因素；要素
factor
an important factor重要因素
a factor in a decision決定中的一項因素
a key factor in digital trade數位貿易的關鍵因素
Cost is an important factor. 費用是一個重要因素。
用法factor 是造成結果的其中一項條件，不一定是唯一原因。常見句型是 a factor in + 名詞、one factor in 和 an important factor。
fall
/fɔːl/
vi. 落下；倒下；下降
fall
leaves fall葉子落下
prices fall價格下降
fall during a storm在暴風雨期間倒下
Prices fell last month. 價格上個月下降了。
用法fall 可以表示落下、倒下或下降，在本組主要當作完全不及物動詞使用。它後面不能直接接受詞。三態是 fall、fell、fallen。
fall short of
/fɔːl ʃɔːrt əv/
phr. v. 未達到；不如預期
fall short of
fall short of a goal未達到目標
fall short of expectations未達到期待
fall short of meeting a standard未達到符合標準的程度
The team fell short of its goal. 這支隊伍沒有達到目標。
用法fall short of + 目標、標準或期待表示沒有達到。of 不可以省略，也不能寫成 fall short to。後面可以接名詞或 V-ing。
feel at home
/fiːl æt hoʊm/
phr. 感到自在；有賓至如歸的感覺
feel at home
feel at home on a team在團隊裡感到自在
make yourself at home請不要拘束
help someone feel at home幫助某人感到自在
I feel at home on this team. 我在這個團隊裡感到自在。
用法feel at home 表示在新的地方、新團隊或新環境中感到自在。對客人說 Make yourself at home 很自然；對新同事可以說 I hope you feel at home here。美式英文說 on a team（在團隊裡）；地點才用 in，例如 feel at home in this city。
fend off
/fend ɔːf/
phr. v. 抵禦；擋住；防止
fend off
fend off attacks抵禦攻擊
fend off a threat抵禦威脅
fend off health problems抵禦健康問題
Strong passwords help fend off attacks. 強密碼有助於抵禦攻擊。
用法fend off + 攻擊、威脅或問題表示擋住、抵禦或避免不好的事情。它是及物片語動詞，後面需要被抵禦的對象。

/fɪl ɪn fɔːr ˈsʌmwʌn/
phr. v. 代替某人工作；暫代職務
fill in for someone
fill in for a coworker代替同事工作
fill in for me代替我一下
fill in during a shift在一個班次中代班
Can you fill in for me tomorrow? 你明天可以代我一下嗎？
用法fill in for someone 表示暫時代替某人工作或值班。美式職場常說 Can you fill in for me?。不要和 fill in a form 混淆；cover for someone 也是常見替代表達。

2 融合短文

A New Place to Work
Bearry and Lexi visited a new science facility. The building looked fabulous, and workers arrived early. Lexi said that better roads could facilitate trade and make deliveries easier. Bearry asked what might affect the project. Lexi said that cost was an important factor. The first plan fell short of its goal, so the team made a new plan. At the same time, a cyber team worked to fend off online threats. One worker filled in for a teammate who was sick. After a few days, Bearry began to feel at home on the new team. “A new place can feel easy when people help each other,” Lexi said.

3 小測驗

1. Which sentence is correct?
2. Which sentence correctly says that the workers got to the site?
3. Which sentence means the plan did not reach its goal?
4. You are sick and can't work tomorrow. What can you ask your coworker?
  • 1. B — happen 在此是完全不及物動詞，使用 S + V；地點資訊用 at the facility。
  • 2. B — 初階先記 arrive at + 小地點；arrive 後面不能直接接受詞。
  • 3. C — 固定句型是 fall short of + 目標，of 不可以省略。
  • 4. B — fill in for someone 表示暫代某人的工作；請別人代自己的班就說 fill in for me。

4 完全不及物動詞：主詞 + 動詞就可以完整表達

A. 主詞自己發生動作或變化
S + V
Prices fell.
價格下降了。
B. 主詞正在發生動作或變化（不是被動）
S + be + V-ing
Something is happening.
有事情正在發生。
C. 主詞已經發生動作或變化（不是被動）
S + have/has + p.p.
The workers have arrived.
工人已經抵達了。
D. 動作完成後，再補地點資訊
S + V + place phrase
The workers arrived at the site.
工人抵達現場。
E. 不能改成被動：不要說 was happened
S + V（不用 be + p.p.）
Something happened.
有事情發生了。（不是 Something was happened.）
F. 要說「誰讓它下降」，換一個及物動詞
Prices fell. ↔ S + lowered + prices
The company lowered prices.
公司調降了價格。（不是 The company fell prices.）

有些動詞在特定意思中不需要直接受詞，使用主詞 + 動詞就能完成句意。若要補充時間、地點或原因，可以再加副詞或介系詞片語。先問：動詞後面有沒有被動作直接影響的人或東西？如果拿掉地點或時間，句子是否仍然完整？這個動詞能不能自然地改成被動語態？

最值得直接背的 3 個完全不及物動詞模板
句型先確認主詞和動詞，再決定是否補充時間、地點或原因＝ 完全不及物動詞可以用主詞 + 動詞完成句意；需要時再加時間、地點或原因，不要硬塞直接受詞。
主詞 + 動詞
The workers arrived.
（主詞 + 動詞，句子已經完整）
再補時間、地點或原因
The workers have arrived at the site.
（have arrived 是完成式，不是被動；at the site 是地點片語，不是受詞）
工人到了。／工人已經抵達現場。
完全不及物動詞判斷圖
主詞+動詞+直接受詞？+補充資訊？+完整句子
動詞後面可有地點片語，但不是直接受詞 The workers / arrived / — / at the site
更多例子
  • Something happened. Something is happening. 有事情發生了。／有事情正在發生。
  • Prices fell. Prices have fallen since the announcement. 價格下降了。／自公告以來，價格已經下降。
