2 融合短文

A Fresh Start at the Community Lab
On Saturday, Bearry and Lexi left for a community lab. It was a place where neighbors could learn practical skills. They met Kai, a rabbit who had been laid off. He wanted to help build a small repair corner. The team checked labor costs, but there was a lack of tools. Lexi showed them the shelf where spare tools were kept. Bearry put a label on each box. Kai checked a folding ladder before using it. Bearry wrote down the day when the repair corner would open. Before leaving, Lexi checked for tools they might leave behind. She also reminded Bearry to pack his notebook. "Last but not least, thank you, Kai," Bearry said. That was the day when a new team began.
跟讀練習
星期六,Bearry 和 Lexi 動身前往社區實驗室。那是一個鄰居們能學習實用技能的地方。他們遇見 Kai,一隻曾被資遣的兔子。他想協助設置一個小型維修角落。團隊查看人力成本,但工具不足。Lexi 指給他們看存放備用工具的架子。Bearry 在每個箱子上貼上標籤。Kai 在使用折梯前先做了檢查。Bearry 記下維修角落預計開放的日期。離開前,Lexi 檢查有沒有可能被遺落的工具。她也提醒 Bearry 把筆記本收進包包。Bearry 說:「最後,同樣要謝謝你,Kai。」那是新團隊誕生的一天。

3 新聞裡的單字

每一句都用到本章的一個單字,依據近期報導改寫成學習用句,不是原文引用。想讀原文,點「原文」。

label

In July 2026, the European Commission said the EU Ecolabel, a trusted label on products such as paints, could guide shoppers.

2026 年 7 月,歐盟執委會表示,EU Ecolabel 這個用在油漆等商品上的可信賴標章,能引導消費者選購。

European Commission · 2026-07-08
原文Building a circular economy with the EU Ecolabel

根據歐盟執委會文章改寫:EU Ecolabel 表示商品已依透明、嚴格的環境標準評估,「提供消費者可靠資訊、引導選擇」;油漆、紡織品是文中列出的產品類別之一。

labor

The ILO’s January 2026 report described a stable but fragile global labor market.

ILO 在 2026 年 1 月的報告中,描述全球勞動市場表面穩定但脆弱。

International Labour Organization · 2026-01-14
原文Employment and Social Trends 2026

根據 ILO 年度報告的主要訊息改寫;教材使用美式 labor,原文機構名稱仍保留 Labour。

lab

In September 2026, NASA astronaut Jack Hathaway turned on small robots that moved on their own in the space station's Kibo lab.

2026 年 9 月,NASA 太空人 Jack Hathaway 在太空站的「希望號」(Kibo)實驗艙啟動了能自主移動的小型機器人。

根據 9 月 11 日太空站紀錄改寫:他啟動 Astrobee 自由飛行機器人,並在它們於 Kibo 實驗艙示範自主移動時拍照。原文沒有說他「測試」機器人。

lack

The ILO reported in January 2026 that many of the world's 2.1 billion informal workers lacked social protection.

ILO 在 2026 年 1 月指出,全球 21 億名非正式就業者中,有許多人缺乏社會保障。

International Labour Organization · 2026-01-14
原文Employment and Social Trends 2026

原文:2.1 billion workers remain in informal employment, often without access to basic rights, social protection or income security。many 對應原文的 often,不代表每一位。

ladder

NASA's May 2026 model of Blue Origin's Moon lander cabin included a ladder like the one astronauts would use on the Moon.

NASA 在 2026 年 5 月展示的 Blue Origin 登月艙乘員艙模型,附有一座與太空人將在月面使用的同款梯子。

根據 NASA 報導改寫:Blue Moon Mark 2 乘員艙的實尺寸訓練模型,原文 featuring the exterior ladder astronauts will use during their time on the Moon。這是地面訓練模型,梯子尚未在月面使用。

last but not least

Artemis II flew in April 2026 with Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and, last but not least, Canada's Jeremy Hansen.

2026 年 4 月的 Artemis II 任務成員有 Reid Wiseman、Victor Glover、Christina Koch,最後同樣重要的是加拿大的 Jeremy Hansen。

組員名單出自 NASA 發射日紀錄(前三位是 NASA 太空人);last but not least 是教材加在列舉最後一項的用語,不是來源原句,也不表示排名。

lay off

Amazon laid off at least 100 office workers in its robotics unit in March 2026, Reuters reported.

路透社報導,Amazon 在 2026 年 3 月裁減機器人部門至少 100 名辦公室職員。

原網址未能直接開啟,依轉載與二手報導核對:Amazon 於 2026 年 3 月 3 日證實裁員;「至少 100 個白領職位」是 Reuters 引述兩位知情人士,Amazon 本身沒有公布人數。

leave something behind

When Artemis II lifted off on April 1, 2026, its four astronauts left Earth behind for a trip around the Moon.

Artemis II 在 2026 年 4 月 1 日升空時,四名太空人離開地球,展開繞月旅程。

根據 NASA 發射日紀錄改寫:火箭於美東時間 6:35 p.m. 從 39B 發射台升空,執行約 10 天的繞月任務。left Earth behind 是教材的說法,原文沒有這個片語;這裡指離開原本的地方,不是忘記帶走。

leave for

The Artemis II crew left for Launch Pad 39B in Florida on April 1, 2026.

Artemis II 組員在 2026 年 4 月 1 日動身前往佛羅里達州 39B 發射台。

依發射日組員離開出發大樓、搭車前往發射台的紀錄改寫;不混同起飛時間。

4 小測驗

1. You are departing home to go to the lab. Which sentence fits?
2. Your team does not have enough tools. Which sentence is correct?
3. Which sentence describes the place where you work?
4. What does laid off usually mean in a company announcement?
  • 1. B — leave for + 目的地;leave the lab 則是離開實驗室。
  • 2. C — lack 當動詞直接接受詞;名詞才用 a lack of tools。
  • 3. A — work 描述在哪裡工作,用 where;不重複 there。
  • 4. D — laid off 是公司縮減職務而資遣員工,不一定是表現差;不要和 day off(休假)搞混。

5 關係副詞:在哪裡、什麼時候、為什麼、怎麼做

A. 用 where 說明事情發生在哪裡
地點 + where + S + V
This is the lab where we work.
這是我們工作的實驗室。
B. 用 when 補充時間
時間 + when + S + V
I remember the day when we met.
我記得我們見面的那一天。
C. 用 why 說明原因
the reason why + S + V
That is the reason why we need tools.
那就是我們需要工具的原因。
D. 方法選 the way 或 how,不疊用
That’s the way + S + V ↔ That’s how + S + V
That is how we label the boxes.
那就是我們替箱子貼標籤的方法。
E. 地點當受詞時,用 which/that 而非 where
地點 + which/that + S + V
This is the lab that we visited.
這是我們參觀過的實驗室。
F. 正式介系詞片語可改成自然的 where
地點 + in which + 子句 ↔ 地點 + where + 子句
This is the lab in which we work.
這是我們工作的實驗室;日常可改用 where。

先說清楚地點、時間或原因,再接一句補充說明。where 常取代 in/at + 那個地方;when 常取代 on/in/at + 那個時間。why 可接在 reason 後;口語也常直接說 That’s why。how 用來談方法時,不和 the way 疊用:選 That’s how... 或 That’s the way...。省略必須看句型,不能把關係副詞一律刪掉;the place we met 這類簡短說法也可自然使用。本章練習先保留 where,避免刪掉後造成結構不完整。

把「在那裡」接成 where 描述
句型地點 + where + 主詞 + 動作= where 取代「在那裡」(in/at + 地點),後面不再重複 there。
描述裡缺的是地點還是受詞?
被描述的地點+where+主詞+動作
where we work 描述工作的地點 This is the lab / where / we / work.
更多例子
  • I remember the day. We met on that day. I remember the day when we met. 把重複的那一天接成時間描述。
  • That is the way we label the boxes. That is how we label the boxes. 用 how 取代 the way,保留同一個方法的意思。
小提醒

work in the lab 需要地點資訊;用 where 接回 lab,後面不再重複 there。visit the lab 的 lab 則是受詞,要用 that/which。先問:描述裡缺的是「在那裡」還是「那個東西」?

小提醒
小劇場:Bearry 又搞錯了
This is the lab which we work.
Bearry:This is the lab which we work.
✗Bearry
Use “where”. We work in the lab.
Lexi:Use “where”. We work in the lab.
Lexi
So “where” means “in that place”?
Bearry:So “where” means “in that place”?
Bearry
Exactly. Say: This is the lab where we work.
Lexi:Exactly. Say: This is the lab where we work.
Lexi
This is the lab where we work.
Bearry:This is the lab where we work.
✓Bearry
Perfect! “Where” connects the place to the activity.
Lexi:Perfect! “Where” connects the place to the activity.
Lexi
