Taiwan stocks

 The Taipei stock market is faltering today(2024/09/30) and there should be another low tomorrow, so we will put our investment plans on hold.

今天台北股市步履蹣跚,明天應該還會有另一個低點,所以我們會暫緩投資計劃。

Today(2024/10/01), Taiwan stocks (fluctuated up and down), fluctuating no more than 100 points, (which was extremely dull). (Volume continues to shrink). I am afraid that (this week will be the same), (coupled with) the possibility of a typhoon holiday, (the market will slowly decline), (looking for bottom support). This week should be like this. (Investors) should be patient and (wait for the buying point) and (don't be impatient).

今日台股(上下波動),波幅不超過 100 點,(極度沉悶)。(成交量持續萎縮)。恐怕(本週也會如此),(加上)可能有颱風假期,(大盤會慢慢下跌),(尋找底部支撐)。本週應該是這樣的。(投資人)要有耐性,(等待買點),(不要急躁)。


fluctuate  /ˈflʌk.tʃu.eɪt/ v.

falter  /ˈfɑːl.tɚ/ v.

The root of the word "fluctuate" - fluct means "flow".

The word "flater" is related to "fall".

單字「fluctuate波動」字根 - fluct 表「flow流動」。

單字「flater搖晃」與「fall跌倒」有關。


shrink /ʃrɪŋk/ V. 縮小;畏縮。n. 心理醫


despite  /dɪˈspaɪtpreposition. 不管儘管無論

respite /ˈres.pət/ n. 暫時緩解


Despite the drop, the Taipei stock market got a respite from the typhoon holiday.

儘管股價下跌,但台北股市因颱風假期而獲得喘息機會。

One can avoid something for a short while but not forever.

避開了初一但躲得過十五嗎?


look (看) 

↓ 

spy (監看) 

↓ 

字根 -spi (看)

字根 -spect, -spec, -spic, -spi 皆有 "看" 的涵義

字根 -spi 有 "看" 的涵義
-t 是音素綴字
字尾 -e 表名詞或動詞
因此-spite 是 -spi 
的衍生字根 = look

字首 -de;-re 皆有 "否定" 及 "away"的涵義
因此
despite = 不看;不管;儘管
respite = 不看;看開;(因看開而)喘息

連放兩天颱風假台北股市暫時獲得喘息

After two days of typhoon vacation, the Taipei stock market took a respite.

The Taipei stock market got a temporary reprieve from the two-day typhoon holiday.


But if you can avoid the first day, can you avoid the fifteenth? 

With the Double Ten National Day approaching, I chose to lay out the policy positives early next week.

The Double Ten National Day is approaching, and I choose to deploy bullish policies early next week.

尾盤 - 台積電多空廝殺 - 忽紅忽黑 。

但無助於大盤收黑的事實

雙十國慶已近,我選擇在下星期初布局政策利多。

dislike、hate、hatred


Hello, I'm spencer.

I am here to teach you new phrases and idioms to express your feelings.

Today I will introduce different ways to say that you really dislike or hate something.

Let's get started.

This video will help you sound more like a native speaker.

The most common way to say you hate or dislike something is to use the verbs dislike and hate.

For example:

I hate hot summer days or I dislike sweet food.

You can also use hate with a verb, an action, by adding 'to' before the verb or 'ing' to the verb stem.

你也可以使用 "hate" ,帶有靜態動詞(verb)和藉由在 "verb" 之前加 "to" 或加 "ing" 在動詞詞幹中的動態動詞(action)。

You can also use "hate" with another verb that expresses a state action by adding "to" in front of the state verb or "ing" in the verb stem.


您也可以運用 "hate",

與另一個表示狀態動作的動詞一起使用,

藉由在狀態動詞前面加上"to",或在動詞詞幹裡加上"ing"。

你也可以在狀態動詞前面加上「to」或在動詞字幹中加上「ing」來將 "hate" 與另一個表達狀態行為的動詞一起使用。

For instance:

I hate waking up early and I hate to say goodbye.

With dislike you can also use it with a verb but it's important to note you cannot use 'the infinite to' with the verb.

You can only add 'ing' to the verb stem.

For example:

I dislike listening to loud music and I dislike going to high places.


Firstly:

Instead of using dislike you can use 'not a fan of' or 'not big on' .

取代 "dislike",你可以使用 "not a fan of" 或 "not big on"。

你可以使用 "not a fan of" 或 "not big on" 來取代 "dislike"。

This means you don't really like something or someone.

這表示你不喜歡某件事或某人。這意味著你並不真正喜歡某事或某人。

You can also use it with a verb but only by adding 'ing' to the verb stem.

你也可以與動詞搭配使用,但只能在動詞詞幹上加上 "ing"。

For instance:

I'm not a fan of fruit pie or He's not big on sharing his feelings.

我不喜歡水果派,或是他不喜歡分享他的感受。


From dislike to hate to disgust.

從不喜歡到討厭再到反感(噁心)。

Secondly:

Instead of using hate you can use 'disgust' or 'disgusted by'.

This means you completely hate something.

Both can be used with a verb but you must add 'ing' to the verb stem.

'Disgusted by' is used when the subject of the sentence is a person.

For instance:

He is disgusted by cold noodles or I am disgusted by loud chewing.

'Disgust' is used when the subject of the sentence is the person or object that someone hates.

For example:

She disgusts me.


Thirdly :

You can say something or someone makes a person sick.

This means you hate something so much you feel sick.

The subject of the sentence is the person or object that someone hates.

For instance:

That video makes her sick or you make me sick.

It can also be used with a verb but you must add 'ing' to the verb stem.

For instance:

Lying makes me sick.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now that you learn some new phrases.

Listen to a short conversation and see if you can pick out the idiom that means you dislike or hate something.

*********************************************************

Ugh... do you see that over there?

See what?

Those plastic bottles and wrappers on the ground.

Oh, I see them. What's the big deal?

There's a trash can nearby. I don't understand why people can't throw away their trash.

I see it really bothers you.

Yeah, I can't stand the sight of littering.

In that case, let's pick up the trash and throw it away in the trash can.

*********************************************************

Did you catch the idiom in the conversation?

If you said 'can't stand the sight of', you're right!

Yeah, I can't stand the sight of littering.

This is an idiom that means you hate to see something or someone.

This idiom can be used with an action like in the conversation by adding 'ing' to the verb stem.

She said, "She can't stand the sight of littering."

'Litter' means to throw trash on the ground.

You can also say, "I can't stand the sight of him." or "He can't stand the sight of fish."

-------------------------------------------------------------

Let's review what we learned.

First was not a fan of and not big on.

I am not a fan of drinking.

I am not a fan of drinking.

I am not big on movies.

I am not big on movies.

Second was disgust and disgusted by.

Third was make a person sick.

Lastly you learn the idiom 'can't stand the sight of'.

She can't stand the sight of cheating.

She can't stand the sight of cheating.

I hope this video was helpful in learning new phrases and idioms to express disliking or hating something or someone.

Remember to practice using these phrases and idioms in your daily life to become a true master.

I'll see you next time.
