Trolls on the Internet 網路酸民(上)

Don’t let a troll get to you.

空中英語教室 20250407

troll harass 網路騷擾

這個詞組的繁體中文意思是「惡意騷擾」或「網路騷擾」。其中，「troll」指的是在網路上故意挑起爭議、引發情緒反應的人，通常是為了取樂或製造混亂；而「harass」則指的是反覆、惡意地騷擾或侵擾他人。因此，「troll harass」可以理解為在網路上進行惡意的騷擾行為，尤其是通過挑釁或爭議來激怒或困擾他人。

Hello friends,

My name is Anne Marie,

and today is a great day to learn something new.

So let’s do that together, friends.

My name is John,

and this is Studio Classroom.

We have a question to start you off with today, friends:

Do you think people are polite online?

Ooh, okay.

Polite is the opposite of that word, rude or impolite, right?

I think people want to be polite online generally,

but they are often impolite. They’re often rude.

I might have to disagree a little bit, John.

I think most people are rude online

because they aren’t talking to people face to face.

We’ll get into that a little bit more in just a moment

in our lesson called "Trolls on the Internet."

Let’s go to our first reading for today:

Trolls on the Internet

Don’t let a troll get to you.

Have you ever been upset by a negative statement

someone has posted online about you or one of your posts?

Then you’re not alone.

This situation is so common

that anyone who spends much time on social media

has probably experienced their fair share.

In 2021, about 41% of American adults had experienced some

form of online harassment,

and it’s not decreasing.

A person who offends, causes conflict,

or attacks people in this manner on purpose is known as

an internet troll.

Hi everyone, welcome to Language Lab. I’m Jack.

我們先來看 "decrease" 這個字，意思是減少或下降，它可以當動詞或名詞使用，但重音的位置不一樣。

當動詞時，重音在第二音節，念成 "decrease"。

來看例句：

I suggest that you decrease the amount of sugar in that recipe because the honey and raisins already make the cookies sweet.

我建議你減少食譜中的糖量，因為蜂蜜和葡萄乾已經讓餅乾很甜了。

或者是：

Do you think the attendance at our book club is decreasing because of the cold weather?

你認為我們讀書會的出席率下降是因為寒冷的天氣嗎？

"Decrease" 當名詞時，重音則是在第一音節，要念成 "decrease"。

譬如：

Because of an increase in construction in the area, there has been a decrease in birds and other wildlife.

由於該地區建設工程的增加，鳥類和其他野生動物數量減少了。

Thank you so much, Jack. Well, friends, we start off here

with a sentence: "Don’t let a troll get to you."

Now, we already saw this word "troll."

Let’s talk about what it means, okay?

If you’ve ever read a storybook and there is an evil

troll in it, you might know what a troll is.

A troll is a pretend or mythical creature

that’s usually either really little and ugly,

or really big and ugly. So,

trolling is a verb that we use

for this word as well, to act like a troll online, okay?

So this kind of troll is a little

bit different. We’re not talking about someone who is ugly,

we’re talking about someone who is rude

on purpose. So,

when you see this word used in our lesson,

that’s what we’re talking about.

Here’s an example of how you could use "troll" in a sentence:

"Don’t pay attention to him.

He’s just a troll.

He’s being rude on purpose."

We also see the idea of "getting to someone."

Now, when you get to someone, or someone gets to you,

it means that you’re annoying or upsetting someone

because you’re doing something persistently.

That’s right, you could say:

"I tried not to be annoyed by the dogs barking,

but eventually,

it really got to me, and I yelled at the dog."

Okay, great example!

Now we move on here:

"Have you ever been upset by a negative statement

someone has posted online

about you or one of your posts?

Then you’re not alone." We mean that most people have come

into contact with trolls. How does our lesson continue, John?

Well, we read that this is a common situation. In fact,

this situation is so common

that anyone who spends much time on social media

has probably experienced

their fair share. Now,

someone’s "fair share" is a phrase that you should really know.

It means a decent amount

or enough of something.

But let’s use it in a sentence,

because that’s the way to understand this, okay?

Here’s an example:

"She took more than her fair share of candy."

The idea here is that there’s

enough candy for everyone to have the same amount,

and because she took more than her fair share,

someone else’s portion will probably be smaller.

Interesting. So normally,

"fair share" is a good thing.

"Make sure everyone gets their fair share of cake."

But when you say it in this way,

it kind of means "I’ve had enough," like:

"I’ve had my fair share of rain this season. I’m ready for a change in the weather."

It means we don’t want anymore.

And we don’t want

any more of internet trolls in this situation.

In 2021, about 41% of American adults

had experienced some form of online harassment.

What a terrible statistic! Harassment is terrible.

It means aggressive pressure or aggressive intimidation.

Oh,

if you’ve experienced harassment,

you know that it’s unpleasant. There’s a verb there:

"to harass someone."

You could say:

"The crows harassed

the eagle when it flew too close to their nest."

And of course,

harassment is a very strong word.

We use this for real-life situations also.

You could be harassed

while you are walking down the street if someone is yelling

rude things to you.

And a lot of times,

when we talk about this in real-life situations,

it means that you can actually get in trouble,

for example with the police, if you are harassing someone.

But here in this situation,

online harassment isn’t necessarily illegal activity.

It’s just really bothering someone persistently.

That’s right, and we learn that someone who harasses

on purpose is called a troll.

We read here,

"a person who offends,

causes conflict, or attacks people in this manner

on purpose is known as an internet troll."

Now, "on purpose," you can also say that as

"intentionally" or even "deliberately."

It means it’s not a mistake.

They’re trying to do that.

Exactly. Here’s how you could use "on purpose" in a sentence:

"The little boy hit his classmate on purpose."

This means that he looked at his classmate

and he wanted to hurt him,

so he hit him on purpose.

Alright, friends,

we have more to learn

about internet trolls in just a moment. First,

let’s go to our next reading of this article:

Trolls on the Internet

Some say people engage in this

kind of activity to cause mischief

and bother people while getting attention.

Additionally,

people online don’t need to use their real identities,

so they don’t face any consequences.

我們再來看名詞 mischief，意思是頑皮或惡作劇。

來看例句：

Frank loved his new puppy, but it was constantly chewing his shoes and causing other mischief.

Frank 很愛他的新小狗，但牠經常咬他的鞋子和弄壞其他東西。

或是：

My son’s teacher told me that although Bobby is a good student, his mischief regularly disrupts the class.

我兒子的老師告訴我，雖然芭比是個好學生，但他的惡作劇經常擾亂了課堂秩序。

mischief 的形容詞是 mischievous，例如：

My mischievous brother rearranged all the furniture while we slept.

我那頑皮的弟弟趁我們睡覺時重新擺設了所有的家具。

Okay, friends, in this next section we are going to talk about why people troll others on the internet.

As you heard John say earlier, troll can also be a verb.

So, someone who harasses people online is called a troll, but you can also call that harassment trolling.

So, if you’re trolling someone online, you are a troll.

Let’s read about the reasons why.

Some say people engage in this kind of activity to cause mischief and bother people while getting attention.

There are some great things to look at in this sentence.

First, we see that word engage.

If you engage in something, it means that you participate in it or you become involved in it.

You could say:

He engaged in illegal activities and was arrested by the police.

Right here, they’re engaging in these online activities that aren’t good, but we’re talking about why they do it.

Some people say they’re trying to cause mischief.

You learned all about causing mischief, but also we’d see that word bother, to bother people.

Now, bother means to irritate or annoy. Sometimes, we even say "to get on someone’s nerves" means to bother them.

But let’s use that in a sentence.

Here’s an example, friends:

My cat likes to bother me while I’m trying to get work done.

It’s pretty cute, actually, so I don’t mind that much.

It doesn’t get on your nerve?

No, not too bad. Well, cats are cute, but words online can really hurt people, no matter what the person’s motives are.

I think we all need to be careful.

Sometimes, it’s easy to try to make your friends laugh by saying something mean, but slowly you become a bully or a troll.

Now, friends, we read:

Additionally, people online don’t need to use their real identities, so they don’t face any consequences.

Let’s talk about that word identities first.

Okay, so when we’re talking about someone’s identity, we’re talking about who they are.

Your identity in life could be something as simple as what your name is, where you live, and what you do.

But identity can sometimes be used to talk about who you feel you are as a person as well, what you identify as.

For example, if you are a doctor, that is part of your identity.

That’s right.

Have you ever heard about a secret identity?

Sometimes, characters in a movie might have a secret identity where they fight crime.

But here, trolls have a secret identity of causing mischief and trouble online.

We also read they don’t face the consequences, and that phrase to face the consequences means to see the result of one’s actions, so you experience the result of what you’ve done.

If you don’t think before you speak, you’ll have to face the consequences.

Alright, friends, we have more to learn, so let’s go to our info cloud right now.

Hello, friends, welcome back to Info Cloud. Rex, have you ever heard someone say,

“Don’t take the bait”?

What does that mean to you?

Hey, Garrett.

Definitely.

When someone says that, it usually means “don’t fall for a trap or a trick.”

Exactly.

The term comes from fishing. If you want to catch fish, you have to put bait on your fish hook.

If fish take the bait, they get caught by your hook.

Hey, that’s very interesting.

Yes, but now, of course, we use the phrase in all kinds of situations.

So, in everyday life, if someone is trying to get a reaction from you or provoke you, they might say something to get you to argue or react emotionally.

That’s when you should remember to not take the bait.

Right, and for example, if someone says something rude to you online to start a fight, you should just ignore it.

If you respond, you’re taking the bait.

Ah, I see.

So it’s all about keeping control of your emotions and not letting others pull you into unnecessary conflict.

Exactly. It’s a reminder to stay calm and not get manipulated.

Don’t take the bait. 不要被引誘上鉤, 不被別人操縱

現在的社會充滿了各式各樣的詐騙行為，經常跟你分享一個相關的用語，Don’t take the bait，就是釣魚的餌，Don’t take the bait 就是不要上鉤，不要被一些東西引誘，落入陷阱。

在日常生活中，如果有人可能會說一些話來引發你的情緒反應，讓你採取一些行動，這時你應該記住 Don’t take the bait。

If you respond to someone’s rude comment, you might be taking the bait.

如果你對某人無理的言論作出反應，你可能正落入陷阱。

Don’t take the bait 這個用語是個提醒，要保持冷靜，不被別人操縱。

這就是今天的 Info Cloud，我們下次雲端見。

Trolls on the internet:

Researchers from Cornell University suggest that both a person’s emotional state and the context of a conversation can cause them to act like a troll.

Anyone who wakes up on the wrong side of the bed or is having a bad day can lash out,

and if they receive a lot of likes for their comments, they’re likely to continue the behavior.

今天的 usage tip 是 anyone who 的用法。它的意思是任何怎樣的人。它可以替換成 whoever。

由於 anyone 為代名詞，所以替換成的 whoever 子句屬於名詞子句，在句子中可以作主詞或受詞用。

不過 whoever 也可以引導出副詞詞句，譬如 whoever you meet, you’ll learn something new from them。

此時 whoever 等於 no matter who，無論是誰的意思。

這時就不能替換成 anyone who。

我們來看一個例句：

The arrogant boy looks down on anyone who he considers inferior to him.

這個傲慢的男孩瞧不起他看為比他差的人。

All right, friends,

let’s continue learning with our article we read here.

Researchers from Cornell University

suggest that both a person’s emotional state

and the context of a conversation can

cause them to act like a troll, okay?

These are some

more reasons why people want to troll in the first place.

First, we are talking about their emotional state.

This is their strong feelings that they have,

especially because of a certain circumstance

or because of a relationship that they have.

Ooh, it’s a great question you can add to your

repertoire of questions, the questions you ask people:

"Hey, what was your emotional state like when that happened to you?"

It’s a great way to talk about your feelings in English.

Now, if they have an emotional state

that’s off or the context of a conversation is bad,

it can cause them to act like a troll.

There’s that word "context" now.

Context is a tricky

English word that means the circumstances

around an event,

so the things that are happening along with another action.

Okay,

here’s an example of how you can use context in a sentence:

He misunderstood what she meant because he had no context.

Context is so important in many situations in life, friends.

We read on here, starting with our usage tip for today:

Anyone who wakes up on the wrong side of the bed

or is having a bad day can lash out. Now,

this is a great phrase for you to know:

The wrong side of the bed. This means that you are waking up in the morning

and you’re in a bad mood the whole day.

I absolutely love this

saying; it’s hilarious to me.

So you could say, "Oh, I

woke up on the wrong

side of the bed this morning. I feel in such a bad mood."

"I hope you don’t wake up on the wrong side of

the bed,"

and even if you do, remember to be kind to others,

even if you yourself are in a

bad mood.

But we see something else here in this sentence

as well, friends,

and this is the idea of lashing out.

What does it mean if you lash out at someone? Ooh, if you

lash out at someone here,

it means to quickly or suddenly

angrily criticize someone.

The word "lash" comes from an old word for whipping people

with like a... you know what a whip is, right?

You hit someone quickly with it and

the verb "to lash" means to strike

suddenly or quickly. Usually, when people are lashing out,

it means that they have a lot of emotions building up

and finally

they act on their emotions without thinking. They

lash out very quickly.

So here’s an example of how you can use it in a sentence:

It’s important not to lash out at others

when you’re angry. Now,

we read on here, and if they receive a lot of

likes for their comments,

they’re likely to continue the behavior.

I have noticed this happens a lot,

John—someone will say something mean

and people think it’s funny,

and then people

like it, and it just encourages them to say more mean

things. Yeah, remember, if even one person

is offended by what

you’ve said, if you’re trying to hurt them,

then it’s not funny. Now,

friends, there’s another word we see here: behavior.

What is that? Okay, so behavior is the way in which you act,

especially towards others.

So a lot of times you’ll hear people talking

especially about

children’s behavior, the way they act

and the way they treat others, if they are polite or not.

Interesting! So you could say, "Wow,

her behavior was really strange

today. I wonder what her emotional state was like." Now, friends,

even if you’re having a bad day,

if you wake up on the wrong side of the bed,

remember it’s probably not a good time to start talking

online. Wait until you’ve calmed down.

Make sure that you can control your behavior

before you are lashing out at others.

We have more to learn,

and we’ll talk about this topic a little more

in just a moment,

right after today’s fun fact!

Ha! Hello, fact friends!

I am detective Ernest Finder

and I have a fun fact for you today about trolls.

Did you know there is a story about three goats

who try to cross a hungry troll’s bridge?

It’s true!

The story is sometimes called The Three Billy Goats Gruff.

In the story, the two

smaller goats tell the troll to wait

and eat their big brother,

but the biggest goat is strong and beats the troll.

It teaches us not to be greedy or a

troll, and that is today’s fun troll fact! Aha!

Well, friends, we’re almost at the end of our lesson

all about internet trolls,

but before we go,

we have a "Talk About It" question. Are you ready, John?

I am! Okay, here it is:

Have you ever had a troll harass you online? What did you do?

I’ve had this happen to me a lot, actually,

and I think the best advice

was to love your enemies and actually

pray for the people that

speak evil of you. So,

the best way to get over it and not be hurt

is just to love the people that treat you wrong.

I’ve had some trolls bother me online, not too much.

I have more of a problem with scam accounts

trying to send me weird information sometimes.

Think maybe we should have an article about that eventually,

too, because there are a lot of weird things that happen

online, friends. It’s really

important for you to stay safe and protect yourself.

Absolutely. Well, friends,

it’s very interesting to talk about trolls together.

Make sure you come back tomorrow.

That’s right, friends,

we have more to learn

about internet trolls and how to deal with them

in tomorrow’s lesson. Well,

that’s all the time we had for today.

My name is Anne Marie,

and my name is John, friends.

Thank you so much for joining us

today right here on

Studio Classroom.

ChatGPT翻譯

你好，朋友們，

我的名字是Anne Marie，

今天是學習新事物的好日子。

那麼，讓我們一起來學習吧，朋友們。

我的名字是John，

這是Studio Classroom。

今天我們要用一個問題開始，朋友們：

你認為人們在網路上禮貌嗎？

哦，好吧。

"Polite"（禮貌）是"rude"（粗魯）或"impolite"（不禮貌）的反義詞，對吧？

我認為人們通常都希望在網路上保持禮貌，

但他們經常不禮貌，經常粗魯。

我可能要稍微不同意John的看法。

我認為大多數人在線上都很粗魯，

因為他們不是面對面與人交談。

我們稍後會在我們的課程中深入討論這一點，

這一課的主題是「網路上的巨魔」。

那麼，讓我們來看今天的第一篇閱讀：

網路上的巨魔

不要讓巨魔影響你。

你曾經因為有人在網路上發表負面評論

關於你或你的某篇貼文而感到不開心嗎？

那麼你不是唯一一個。

這種情況非常普遍，

任何花時間在社交媒體上的人

可能都經歷過類似的情況。

在2021年，大約41%的美國成年人曾經遭遇過某種

形式的網路騷擾，

而且這個比例並沒有下降。

一個冒犯、製造衝突或故意攻擊他人的人被稱為

網路巨魔。

大家好，歡迎來到Language Lab，我是Jack。

我們先來看 "decrease" 這個字，

意思是減少或下降，

它可以當動詞或名詞使用，

但重音的位置不一樣。

當動詞時，

重音在第二音節，念成 "decrease"。

來看例句：

我建議你減少食譜中的糖量，

因為蜂蜜和葡萄乾已經讓餅乾變得很甜了。

或者是：

你認為我們讀書會的出席率下降是因為寒冷的天氣嗎？

"Decrease" 當名詞時，

重音則在第一音節，應念作 "decrease"。

譬如：

由於該地區建設工程的增加，

鳥類和其他野生動物數量減少了。

謝謝你，Jack。朋友們，我們從這裡開始

有一句話："不要讓巨魔影響你。"

我們已經看到過這個單詞 "troll"（巨魔）。

讓我們來談談它的意思，好嗎？

如果你曾經讀過故事書，其中有一個邪惡的

巨魔，你可能知道巨魔是什麼。

巨魔是一個虛構或神話中的生物，

通常要麼非常小且醜陋，要麼非常大且醜陋。所以，

"trolling" 是一個動詞，我們用來形容

在網上像巨魔一樣的行為，好嗎？

所以這種巨魔有點不同，我們不是在談論某個長得醜的人，

我們在談論故意不禮貌的人。

所以，當你在我們的課程中看到這個詞時，

就是在談論這個意思。

這裡有一個例句，讓你了解如何使用 "troll"：

"不要理他，他只是個巨魔，他故意在裝粗魯。"

我們還看到「影響某人」這個概念。

當你影響到某人，或者某人影響到你，

意思是你因為持續做某些事而讓對方煩惱或不開心。

沒錯，你可以說：

"我努力不被狗吠聲煩擾，

但最終它真的讓我煩躁，我對狗大喊。"

好的，很好的例子！

接下來我們繼續：

"你曾經因為有人在網路上發表負面評論

關於你或你的某篇貼文而感到不開心嗎？

那麼你不是唯一一個。" 我們的意思是，大多數人都遇到過巨魔。

我們的課程是如何繼續的呢，John？

嗯，我們讀到這是一個很常見的情況。事實上，

這種情況非常普遍，

任何花時間在社交媒體上的人

可能都經歷過類似的情況。

現在，「某人的公平份額(fair share)」這個詞組你應該真的知道，

它的意思是合理的數量或足夠的某物。

但讓我們用句子來理解，因為這是理解這個意思的最佳方式，好嗎？

這裡有一個例句：

"她拿了比自己公平份額更多的糖果。"

這裡的意思是，每個人應該能有一樣多的糖果，但因為她拿了比自己公平份額更多的，所以其他人的份額可能會更少。

有趣的是，通常，「公平份額(fair share)」是一件好事。

"確保每個人都能得到公平的蛋糕份額。"

但當你這樣說fair share時，它有點像「我已經受夠了」，比如：

"我這個季節的雨水已經夠多了，我準備迎接天氣的變化。"
I've had my fair share of rain this season, and I'm ready to embrace the change in weather.

它的意思是我們不再需要更多了。

而在這種情況下，我們也不想

再有更多的網路巨魔了。

在2021年，大約41%的美國成年人

曾經經歷過某種形式的網路騷擾。

這是一個可怕的統計數字！騷擾真的很可怕。

它意味著強迫或積極的恐嚇。

哦，

如果你曾經經歷過騷擾，

你知道這是多麼令人不快。

這裡有個動詞 "to harass"（騷擾）。

你可以說：

"烏鴉騷擾了

飛得太靠近牠們巢穴的老鷹。"

當然，

騷擾是個非常強烈的詞語。

我們也會用這個詞來描述現實生活中的情況。

你可能會在街上走時被騷擾，如果有人對你大聲叫罵

粗魯的話語。

而且很多時候，

當我們在現實生活中談論這個問題時，

它意味著你實際上可能會陷入麻煩，

比如警察可能會因為你騷擾他人而把你抓起來。

但在這種情況下，

網路騷擾不一定是非法行為，

它只是持續地讓某人感到困擾。

沒錯，我們學到，故意騷擾他人的人被稱為巨魔。

我們在這裡讀到：

"一個故意冒犯、

製造衝突或以這種方式攻擊他人的人

被稱為網路巨魔。"

"On purpose"（故意）你也可以說成

"intentionally"（故意地）或"deliberately"（蓄意地）。

這意味著這不是一個錯誤，

他們是有意為之。

沒錯，這是如何在句子中使用 "on purpose"：

"那個小男孩故意打了他的同學。"

這意味著他看著他的同學，

並且他想要傷害他，

所以他故意打了他。

好了，朋友們，

我們還有更多關於網路巨魔的學習，

稍後我們將繼續。首先，

讓我們來看這篇文章的下一部分：

網路上的巨魔

有些人說人們從事這種行為是為了製造麻煩

並在獲得注意的同時打擾他人。

此外，

網上的人不需要使用真實身份，

因此他們不必面對任何後果。

我們再來看名詞 mischief，

意思是頑皮或惡作劇。

來看例句：

Frank loved his new puppy, but it was constantly chewing his shoes and causing other mischief.

Frank 很愛他的新小狗，但牠經常咬他的鞋子和弄壞其他東西。

或是：

My son’s teacher told me that although Bobby is a good student, his mischief regularly disrupts the class.

我兒子的老師告訴我，雖然芭比是個好學生，但他的惡作劇經常擾亂了課堂秩序。

mischief 的形容詞是 mischievous，例如：

My mischievous brother rearranged all the furniture while we slept.

我那頑皮的弟弟趁我們睡覺時重新擺設了所有的家具。

好啦，朋友們，接下來我們要談談為什麼人們會在網路上惡搞他人。

正如你早些時候聽到John所說，troll 也可以是一個動詞。

所以，網路上騷擾他人的人被稱為 "troll"，但你也可以稱這種行為為 trolling。

所以，如果你在網上惡搞某人，你就是一個 troll。

讓我們來看看為什麼會這樣做。

有些人說，人們從事這種活動是為了造成惡作劇，並在引起注意的同時煩擾他人。

這句話有幾個值得注意的地方。

首先，我們看到 engage 這個詞。

如果你參與某事（engage in something），意味著你參與其中或成為其中的一部分。

你可以說：

He engaged in illegal activities and was arrested by the police.

在這裡，他們參與了這些不良的網路活動，但我們現在要討論的是為什麼他們會這麼做。

有些人說，他們是想要製造惡作劇。

你學過如何製造惡作劇，但我們也會看到 bother 這個詞，就是煩擾他人。

Bother 意味著惹怒或使人不高興。有時候，我們甚至會說 "get on someone's nerves" 來表示惹某人不高興。

讓我們用這個詞造個句子。

這是一個例子，朋友們：

My cat likes to bother me while I’m trying to get work done.

牠其實蠻可愛的，所以我並不介意太多。

不會讓你抓狂吧？

嗯，不會，沒那麼嚴重。貓咪很可愛，但網上的言語真的能傷害到人，不論那個人的動機是什麼。

我認為我們都需要小心。

有時候，為了讓朋友笑，說一些刻薄的話似乎很容易，但慢慢地你就會變成一個霸凌者或 troll。

現在，朋友們，我們讀到：

此外，網上的人不需要使用真實身份，所以他們不必承擔任何後果。

讓我們先來談談 identities 這個詞。

當我們談論某人的身份（identity）時，我們是指他們是誰。

你的身份可以是這麼簡單的事：你的名字、你住在哪裡、你做什麼。

但身份有時候也用來表示你作為一個人的感受，或者你自認為是什麼。

舉例來說，如果你是醫生，那就是你身份的一部分。

沒錯。

你聽過 secret identity 嗎？

有時候，電影中的角色可能會有一個秘密身份，在這個身份下他們打擊犯罪。

但在這裡，trolls 也有一個秘密身份，就是在網路上製造惡作劇和麻煩。

我們還讀到他們不必面對後果，而 to face the consequences 這個片語意味著面對某人行為的結果，或者說體驗你所做的事的後果。

如果你不經思考就開口，你就得面對後果。

好了，朋友們，我們還有更多東西要學，讓我們現在就去 Info Cloud。

大家好，歡迎回到 Info Cloud。Rex，你有沒有聽過有人說過：

"Don’t take the bait"？

這對你來說是什麼意思？

嘿，Garrett。

當然。

當有人這麼說時，通常是指 "不要掉入陷阱或詭計"。

沒錯。

這個術語來自於釣魚。如果你想釣到魚，你必須把餌放在魚鉤上。如果魚吞下餌，它們就會被鉤住。

嘿，這很有趣。

是的，但現在當然我們在各種情況下都會使用這個短語。

所以，在日常生活中，如果有人試圖從你那裡激起反應或挑釁你，他們可能會說一些話來引發你爭辯或情緒化反應。

這時你應該記住不要上鉤。

對，舉例來說，如果有人在線上對你說一些無禮的話來挑起爭執，你應該忽視它。

如果你回應了，你就是上了鉤。

啊，我明白了。

所以這就是要保持情緒控制，不讓他人把你拉進不必要的衝突。

沒錯，這是一個提醒，要保持冷靜，不被他人操控。

現在的社會充滿了各式各樣的詐騙行為，

經常跟你分享一個相關的用語，

Don’t take the bait，就是釣魚的餌，

Don’t take the bait 就是不要上鉤，不要被一些東西引誘，落入陷阱。

在日常生活中，如果有人可能會說一些話來引發你的情緒反應，讓你採取一些行動，

這時你應該記住 Don’t take the bait。

如果你對某人無理的言論作出反應，你可能正落入陷阱。

Don’t take the bait 這個用語是個提醒，要保持冷靜，不被別人操縱。

這就是今天的 Info Cloud，我們下次雲端見。

網路上的 trolls：

來自康奈爾大學的研究人員指出，一個人的情緒狀態和對話的上下文，可能會促使他們像 troll 一樣行事。

任何一個早上起來心情不好，或是今天過得不順的人，都可能會情緒失控。

如果他們的留言獲得大量點贊，他們可能會繼續這種行為。

今天的 usage tip 是 anyone who 的用法。

它的意思是任何怎麼樣的人。

它可以替換成 whoever。

由於 anyone 為代名詞，所以

替換成的 whoever 子句屬於名詞子句，

在句子中可以作主詞或受詞用。

不過 whoever 也可以引導出副詞子句，

譬如 whoever you meet,

you’ll learn something new from them。

此時 whoever 等於 no matter who，

無論是誰的意思。

這時就不能替換成 anyone who。

我們來看一個例句：

The arrogant boy looks down on anyone who

he considers inferior to him.

這個傲慢的男孩瞧不起他

認為比他差的人。

All right, friends,

讓我們繼續學習我們今天讀的文章。

康奈爾大學的研究人員

建議一個人的情緒狀態和對話的背景

可以讓他們表現得像網路酸民。

這些是一些

人們想要惡搞的原因。

首先，我們來談談他們的情緒狀態。

這是他們因某些情況或關係所產生的強烈情感。

哦，這是一個很棒的問題，你可以把它加到你的

問題庫中，這些是你問別人的問題：“嘿，當那件事發生時，你的情緒狀態怎麼樣？”

這是用英文談論你情感的好方法。

現在，如果他們的情緒狀態不對，或者對話的背景不好，

它會讓他們表現得像網路酸民。

那個詞「背景」出現了，

背景是一個很棘手的英文單字，意思是事件發生的環境或情境，

也就是其他事件發生時伴隨的情況。

好的，

這是你可以在句子中使用背景的例子：

He misunderstood what she meant because he had no context.

他誤解了她的意思，因為他沒有背景知識。

背景在很多生活情境中都很重要，朋友們。

我們繼續讀，從今天的 usage tip 開始：

Anyone who wakes up on the wrong side of the bed

or is having a bad day can lash out。現在，

這是一個你應該知道的好短語：

The wrong side of the bed。這意味著你早上醒來

就處於壞心情，整天都不好。

我非常喜歡這個

說法，它對我來說非常有趣。

所以你可以說：“哦，我

今天早上是從錯的一邊床上醒來的，我覺得心情很差。”

“希望你今天早上沒有從錯的一邊床上醒來，

即使有，也記得對他人保持友善，

即使你自己心情不好。”

但我們在這句話中也看到了一個概念，

朋友們，

那就是「發火」的意思。

如果你發火對某人，這是什麼意思呢？哦，如果你

發火對某人，

意思是迅速或突然

憤怒地批評某人。

「lash」這個詞來自於一個舊單字，表示用鞭子

打人，

你知道什麼是鞭子吧？

就是迅速地打人，

而「lash」這個動詞的意思是突然或迅速地打。通常當人們發火時，

意味著他們積累了很多情緒，

最終

他們在沒有思考的情況下，

迅速發火。

這是你可以在句子中使用它的例子：

當你生氣時，記得不要對他人發火。現在，

我們繼續閱讀，如果他們收到很多

讚好他們評論的帖子，

他們很可能會繼續這種行為。

我注意到這種情況發生得很頻繁，

約翰——某人說了些刻薄的話，

大家覺得很有趣，

然後大家

給了讚，這只會鼓勵他們說更多刻薄的話。是的，記得如果即使只有一個人

被你說的話冒犯了，如果你是故意傷害他們，

那就不好笑了。現在，

朋友們，這裡還有另一個我們看到的詞，行為。

那是什麼呢？好的，行為是指你行為的方式，

特別是對待他人的方式。

所以很多時候你會聽到人們談論

尤其是兒童的行為，指他們的行為方式

和他們如何對待他人，是否有禮貌。

有趣的是，你可以說：“哇，

她今天的行為真奇怪，

我在想她的情緒狀態怎麼樣。”現在，朋友們，

即使你今天心情不好，

如果你從錯的一邊床上醒來，

記得這可能不是開始在網上發表意見的好時機。等到你冷靜下來後，

再發表你的言論，

確保你能控制自己的行為

再去對他人發火。

我們還有更多要學習的，

接下來會再多談一些這個話題，

就在今天的趣味事實之後！

哈！大家好，事實朋友們！

我是偵探 Ernest Finder，

今天我有一個有關網路酸民的趣味事實。

你知道有一個關於三隻山羊的故事

它們試圖過一座飢餓的怪物橋嗎？

是真的！

這個故事有時被稱為《三隻比利山羊》。

在這個故事裡，兩隻

小山羊告訴怪物等著吃它們的大哥哥，

但最大的山羊很強壯，打敗了怪物。

它教我們不要貪婪或做網路酸民，這就是今天的趣味酸民事實！哈哈！

好了，朋友們，我們快要結束今天有關網路酸民的課程了，

但在我們離開之前，

我們有一個「討論問題」，準備好了嗎，約翰？

我準備好了！好，來了：

你曾經被網路酸民騷擾過嗎？你做了什麼？

這樣的情況我經歷過很多次，

我覺得最好的建議

是愛你的敵人，並為那些

說壞話的人祈禱。所以，

克服這些傷害的最好方法

就是愛那些對你不好的人。

我也曾經被網路酸民騷擾過，不過不是很多。

我更多的是碰到詐騙帳號

有時會試圖發送一些奇怪的信息。

也許我們應該有一篇文章專門討論這個，

因為網路上真的有很多奇怪的事情。朋友們，

保持安全並保護自己非常重要。

沒錯！朋友們，

今天討論網路酸民真的很有趣。

記得明天再來哦！

沒錯，朋友們，

我們明天的課程將會繼續談論

網路酸民及如何應對他們。好了，

今天的課程就到這裡。

我是 Anne Marie，

我是 John，朋友們。

非常感謝你們今天的參與，

就在這裡，Studio Classroom。

Trolls on the Internet 網路酸民(下)

Don’t let a troll get to you.

只要修正英文文法，保留原文，同時將簡體中文修改為繁體中文

Hello friends,

My name is Anne Marie,

and today is a great day to learn something new.

So let’s do that together, friends.

My name is John,

and this is Studio Classroom.

You’re just in time for day two of our article called

"Trolls on the Internet." What did we talk about yesterday, John?

Well,

first of all, we learned that internet trolls are people who

deliberately or on purpose

make statements to provoke others.

They’re trying to get a reaction.

That’s right, we also learned that in 2021, forty

one percent of Americans said that they have been

harassed online.

We also learned about some of the reasons

people might become an internet troll.

What were some of those reasons, John?

Well,

sometimes, if people get a lot of likes for their behavior

or they just think they’re causing mischief,

they’re not doing a lot of trouble,

they might continue to do this trolling behavior.

But obviously,

it’s not okay.

Sometimes, it has to do with someone’s emotional state

or if they got up on the wrong side of the bed.

We’re going to talk about the

best way to deal with internet trolls

in today’s lesson.

So let’s get right into our first reading for the day.

Trolls on the Internet

Platforms that trolls target include chat rooms,

YouTube, forums,

or anywhere

people can freely post their thoughts and opinions.

So how do you know if you are a victim?

Typically, trolls attack something that you have said you

support or are in favor of.

They either insult you directly or criticize a post's topic,

and they don’t stop,

especially if they get an emotional reaction, as that is

what they are hoping for.

Hi, I’m Jack. 今天的usage tip是either

or的句型對等結構。

either A or B的意思是不是A就是B。

用於強調在A與B

兩者之間做一個選擇。

在此結構當中，

A與B必須為一致的詞性或是句式。

課文裡這句 "They either insult you

directly or criticize a post's topic" 中的 "insult"

和 "criticize" 都是動詞，

但A與B也可能同為名詞、

形容詞或介系詞，

或是從句等等。

來看例句：

She didn’t answer your call either because she was busy

or because she fell asleep.

她沒接你的電話不是因為她在忙，

就是因為她睡著了。

Okay, friends, are you ready to talk about some of the places

you might run into internet trolls?

Let’s find out.

We read here, "Platforms that trolls target include

chat rooms, YouTube, forums,

or anywhere

people can freely post their thoughts and opinions."

Let’s talk about a few of these first.

We see this word "chat rooms."

John, can you explain to us what that is?

Sure,

a chat room generally is a website where people can talk

in private or group conversations.

That’s right,

you should be really careful in chat rooms

because you never know who you’re really talking to. Make

sure that you protect yourself

and don’t give out any personal information.

We also see this word "forums," and this is an interesting one.

It means a meeting

where ideas and views on a particular issue

can be exchanged.

Now, a lot of forums are in person,

but an online

forum is a place

where people can exchange ideas about the same topic.

Yeah,

there are a lot of online forums on the internet.

Did you know "forum"

actually comes from an old Roman place

where the government would meet together and talk?

Very interesting!

So we see here: "How do you know

if you are a victim?"

"Victim" is a great word for you to know, friends.

Let’s talk about it. All right,

a victim is someone who has been hurt

by a crime or even a

negative behavior.

So here’s an example:

Grandma was a victim of credit card fraud.

Now, "victim" is really great to use with the word "of."

You can say the person’s name,

then the word "victim of,"

and then you can say

what happened to them that caused them to become a victim.

That’s right. Well,

we read on here, friends, together:

"Typically, trolls attack something that you have said you support

or are in favor of."

Okay,

so this is the way trolls typically work.

What does that word mean?

So "typically" is a really easy one, friends. It just means

usually. It is what typically happens.

So all we’re saying here is

that that’s what trolls usually do.

Okay,

so they typically attack something that you have said.

Now, remember, we learned what trolls are, right?

But just to review, a troll is someone

who intentionally says something to get a reaction, often

a negative or harassing

statement. Now, we also read:

"They either insult you

directly or criticize a post's

topic."

Interesting!

That’s right. Now that was your usage tip for today, friends,

so make sure you take a note of that.

We’re going to keep reading here. We see:

"And they don’t

stop." This is one way you know

you are a victim of trolling.

If the troll says one mean thing,

they get a reaction,

and then they just keep on harassing you,

especially if they get an emotional reaction.

Yesterday, we talked about someone’s emotional state,

but what do we mean

when we’re talking about emotional reactions?

Okay, well,

a reaction in general is a response to an action

or a response to something, right?

So an emotional reaction is the way you respond

emotionally to something. For example,

if you see something happy,

you might have a strong joyful emotional reaction.

Here’s another example:

What was her reaction when you told her

how you felt?

Reactions, of course,

can be positive or negative.

You could react well to good news,

and you could react poorly to bad news.

We read on here:

"If they get an emotional reaction,

that is what they are hoping for." That’s what

trolls want in the first place, for people

to have a negative reaction.

Now, this phrase "hoping for" is good for you to know

as well, friends.

It means to want something to happen

or hope that something comes true.

Yeah,

your hope is your expectation, right?

Hopefully, you have good hopes.

And it can be an adverb, hopefully,

or it can even be a verb, "I hoped,"

but normally we see this as a noun—

someone’s hope.

All right, friends, let’s continue learning about internet trolls

in the next part of our reading.

Trolls on the Internet

You can also spot a troll

because they make ridiculous statements about the topic

being discussed,

hoping to get a reaction.

They likely don’t believe what they’re saying,

but their goal is to get you to believe that they do

and react.

我們來看一下 "ridiculous" 這個形容詞。

它的意思是可笑的、荒謬的。

來看例句：

i must have looked ridiculous all day.

i had a leaf stuck in my hair and didn’t know it.

我一定一整天看起來很可笑，因為我頭髮上卡了一片葉子，卻沒有發現。

或者是：

the man’s claim that he could lift up a scooter seemed ridiculous, but he actually did it.

這名男子聲稱自己能舉起一台機車，聽起來很可笑，但他真的做到了。

他的副詞是 "ridiculously"，意思是荒謬的、過分的。

比如：

baby shoes can be ridiculously expensive, and they really aren’t necessary if the child can’t walk yet.

嬰兒鞋可以貴得離譜，但如果孩子還不會走路，就真的沒有必要買。

Okay, friends, let’s continue talking about ways you can identify internet trolls and know if you are a victim of trolling.

We see here you can also spot a troll because they make ridiculous statements. Let’s stop there for just a moment.

You just saw that word "ridiculous" in your language lab, and we also see another word following it, the word "statements."

What do we mean by "statements"?

A statement generally is something that is said or even written as a fact. So they say something, and they pretend that they believe it’s true.

I like that you said "as a fact," because I think this is a little different than when we say someone said something. In English, we might say they made a statement.

This means that someone is saying it as if they believe it were true, as John said, and they usually feel more strongly about it.

Here’s an example of how you could use it in a sentence:

the government released several statements to the press after the disaster.

這是一個非常正式的說法，表示政府對這一情況的正式立場。

That’s a good point. You’ll see this as a noun a lot in official documents, like a response from the government, as you said.

And why do they do this? Well, maybe they’re hoping to get a reaction. That’s a good sentence pattern: "to get a reaction." We can review that one.

That’s right. We just talked about getting a reaction in the previous section, where we talked about reactions can be good or bad.

Of course, trolls are generally hoping to get a bad reaction.

Here’s an example:

the bully teased the other children just to get a reaction.

Yeah, we often use this when we’re talking about relationships between people.

You could say the comedian told a funny joke, hoping to get a reaction from the audience.

Now, you can also say you have a reaction.

Sometimes, you might say, "I had a bad reaction to that chemical; I had lots of allergies."

Yeah, this is a way that we talk about allergic reactions oftentimes.

If you start using a different type of soap, for example, and you get a rash on your skin, you can say, "I had a bad reaction to that soap."

Now, this is a really interesting next part here, friends, because we find out that trolls likely don’t believe what they are saying.

So they’re making these statements as if they are true, as if they stand behind them, but in reality, do they really think that way?

Yeah, you know, a lot of times people are trying to be funny, so it’s important to be forgiving to people online sometimes.

Trolls don’t know that they’re saying something really rude. They think they’re being funny, but as we read, they likely don’t believe what they’re saying.

If you believe what you are saying, it means you’re convinced of the truth of your own words.

For example, I don’t believe what he is saying about what happened that night means you think he is lying.

Now we see here a little bit more about trolls' motivations.

Their goal is to get you to believe that they do believe what they’re saying and react.

Interesting. So oftentimes people will enter into political debates or something like that, and they’ll say something really strong just trying to annoy or offend others.

That’s being a real troll. You definitely don’t want to do that, but I’m sure we’ve all seen it a little bit sadly now.

Let’s review some of the English we’ve learned on this journey with today’s Info Cloud:

Hello friends, welcome to Info Cloud.

Hey, Garrett, this morning’s meeting was very stressful.

I thought you were going to say something.

Hey, Rex, everyone was arguing, so I didn’t want to add fuel to the fire.

Hey, I’ve heard that expression before. What does it mean exactly?

Well, when someone says you’re adding fuel to the fire, it means you’re making a bad situation even worse.

It sounds like a literal description. If there’s a fire and you throw more fuel on it, it gets bigger and harder to control.

Exactly! If two people are arguing and someone else makes a harsh comment, they’re adding fuel to the fire. They’re making the argument worse.

So the phrase is used for conflicts, yes, but the phrase can apply to anything that makes a bad situation more difficult, like spreading gossip, making accusations, or even offering bad advice in a tense moment.

Oh, I see! So it’s a phrase that reminds us to be careful about what we say or do in intense or difficult situations.

That’s right! In difficult situations, it’s always a good idea to make things better instead of worse.

add fuel to the fire 火上澆油

當你看到兩個人吵得不可開交，不曉得你會怎麼處理呢？

今天要跟大家分享的用語是 add fuel to the fire，也就是火上浇油。

顧名思義，add fuel to the fire 就是讓一個很不好的情況變得更糟。

如果兩個人在爭論，然後有人說了一句刻薄的話，那就是在 add fuel to the fire，讓兩個人的情緒更糟，有可能爆發更大的衝突。

我們要小心，散布謠言、指責他人，甚至在緊張的時刻給出很不好的建議，都有可能 add fuel to the fire。

因此，在緊張或困難的情況下，我們都要謹言慎行。

這就是今天的 INFO Cloud，我們下次雲端見！

Trolls on the internet

So what should you do?

Most experts say to ignore them.

Don’t get involved in an online discussion with one, because that is exactly what they want.

If the troll becomes offensive, you can use the site's "contact us" link or report button to report their behavior to the administrator.

Don’t let trolls have the last word.

接下來看 offensive 這個字。

它可以當形容詞或名詞使用。

當形容詞的意思是冒犯的或令人作嘔的。

來看例句：

Bob made a very offensive comment to the waitress, so the restaurant manager politely asked him to leave.

Bob 對女服務員說了一句非常不禮貌的話，於是餐廳經理客氣地請他離開。

With a ship, despite the offensive smell coming from it, the garbage truck fascinated the little boy.

儘管垃圾車散發著難聞的氣味，但還是讓小男孩很著迷。

Offensive 當名詞則是進攻或攻擊的意思。

譬如：

Our soccer team has a great offensive this year, and our coach says we can break records for scoring.

我們的足球隊今年的進攻能力很強，教練說我們可以打破得分紀錄。

Thank you, Jack.

Friends, we have one more section to look at in this article, and we have an important question.

So what should you do?

We know all this information about trolls. We know now why they are doing it and how they are doing it, so what do we do? How does our article continue, John?

Well, we hear that most experts say ignore them.

If you’re ignoring, it means you’re not giving attention, right?

That’s right. It means to refuse to take notice of something or to completely disregard.

I see, so you know it’s happening, but you choose not to regard it or act on it.

Again, trolls are trying to get a reaction, so if they don’t get a reaction from you, they might move away.

We also read don’t get involved in an online discussion with one, meaning one troll.

That’s right, because that is exactly what they want.

What do we mean when we use the word exactly, John?

Exactly means the thing that you’ve just mentioned is accurate or right on.

Let’s use that in a sentence:

Thanks for the gift. It’s exactly what I wanted.

Oh, okay!

You could also say it’s exactly two o’clock.

That means we’re talking about two o’clock, and the time is not 2:01. It’s not 1:59. It’s 2 o’clock exactly.

Sometimes we use a phrase right on the nose, meaning like directly on something.

That’s a fun English idiom for exactly.

Okay, we see here, if the troll becomes offensive, you can use the site's contact us link or report button.

Let’s stop there for a minute and talk about a few of these things.

First of all, we have this word link.

This is one you need to know when we’re talking about websites. This is talking about a hyperlink.

This is something you can click on, and it takes you to another location.

Interesting, a link could be a verb meaning connecting two things, and that’s where we get this noun.

You could say, don’t click on that link; you don’t know if it’s a scam.

Now, friends, you click on a link here to report trolls.

There’s a verb report, meaning to send word of something. But when we’re using it here, talking about reporting someone online, it means to tell the website’s moderators about negative online actions.

Here’s an example of how we can use report in a sentence:

If this behavior continues, we’ll have to report it to the boys' errands. They’ll need to know about it.

Now, what are we reporting or how are we reporting it? Well, we’re reporting this behavior to the administrator.

When we talk about administrator in this context, we’re talking about the person who is managing that platform or managing a website.

That’s right. You know, the internet has really changed English, so a lot of the time when we’re talking about an online administrator, people will just say the admin or the admins.

Now, it might not be proper English, but that is the way it will get used when you see it, so you might report someone to the admins.

Let’s see that online.

That’s a good point!

We see one more thing here:

Don’t let trolls have the last word. What does it mean if someone has the last word?

If you have the last word, you literally speak last, but it means you get to give your opinion last, or as we sometimes say, to have the final say.

Well, that’s the last word here. Now it’s time for today’s fun fact.

Hello, Fact Friends!

I am Detective Ernest Finder, and I have a fun fact for you today.

Did you know there are many memes to represent online trolls?

Sometimes these memes are drawings.

You know what a meme is, don’t you? It’s the little picture with words on it.

One famous meme is a mysterious green frog named Pepe.

He’s not very well drawn, but he’s kind of funny, and that is today’s fun troll fact.

Alright, friends, as we end our lesson, we have a Talk About It question for you:

Why do people become online trolls?

Wow, that’s a good question.

Well, I think most people don’t wake up in the morning saying, "Mom, I’m gonna be a troll today."

But there’s a famous phrase: be careful because bad company corrupts good character.

You know, we all like to get likes, and sometimes, when bad behavior is encouraged by your friends, you end up a troll.

I think a lot of trolls just want attention, or their own emotional state is not correct.

We have to be careful about what we say to people in person and online.

Well, friends, that’s all the time we have for today.

My name is Anne Marie.

And my name is John.

Friends, thank you so much for talking about trolls online with us today.

We’ll see you next time right here on Studio Classroom.

翻譯為繁體中文

Hello friends,

我的名字是 Anne Marie，

今天是學習新事物的好日子。

讓我們一起來學習吧，朋友們。

我的名字是 John，

這是 Studio Classroom。

你們正好趕上我們的第二天文章，

《網路上的巨魔》。昨天我們講了些什麼，John？

嗯，

首先我們學到了網路巨魔是那些故意或刻意

發表挑釁他人的言論的人。

他們是試圖引起反應。

沒錯，我們還學到在 2021 年，四十一％

的美國人表示他們曾在網路上遭遇騷擾。

我們也了解了一些人可能會成為網路巨魔的原因。

John，那些原因有哪些呢？

嗯，

有時候，如果人們因為自己的行為得到很多喜歡，

或者他們只是覺得自己在製造麻煩，

但其實並沒有做出太大困擾，

他們可能會繼續這樣的網路巨魔行為。

但顯然，

這樣是不對的。

有時候，這也跟某人的情緒狀態有關，

或者他們一早起來心情不好。

今天的課程我們會談到

應對網路巨魔的最佳方法。

那麼，讓我們開始今天的第一篇閱讀吧。

網路上的巨魔

巨魔們目標的網路平台包括聊天室，

YouTube，論壇，

或任何

人們可以自由發表想法和意見的地方。

那麼，你怎麼知道自己是不是受害者呢？

通常，巨魔會攻擊你所說的

支持或贊同的事物。

他們要麼直接侮辱你，要麼批評帖文的主題，

而且他們不會停下來，

尤其是如果他們引起了情緒反應，因為那正是

他們希望看到的結果。

嗨，我是 Jack，今天的用法小提示是 either

or 的對等結構。

either A or B 的意思是不是 A 就是 B，

用來強調在 A 和 B

兩者之間做選擇。

在這個結構中，

A 和 B 必須在詞性或句式上保持一致。

課文裡這句 "They either insult you

directly or criticize a post's topic" 中的 "insult"

和 "criticize" 都是動詞，

但 A 和 B 也可以是名詞、形容詞、介系詞，

或者是從句等等。

來看例句：

She didn’t answer your call either because she was busy

or because she fell asleep.

她沒接你的電話不是因為她在忙，

就是因為她睡著了。

好了，朋友們，準備好來談談你可能會遇到網路巨魔的地方嗎？

我們來看看。

我們在這裡讀到，"巨魔攻擊的平台包括

聊天室、YouTube、論壇，

或者任何

人們可以自由發表想法和意見的地方。"

我們來先談談其中幾個。

我們看到這個詞 "聊天室"。

John，你能解釋一下那是什麼嗎？

當然，

聊天室通常是一個網站，讓人們可以進行

私密或群體對話。

沒錯，

你在聊天室裡應該非常小心，

因為你永遠不知道你真正是在跟誰說話。

一定要保護好自己，

不要透露任何個人資訊。

我們還看到這個詞 "論壇"，這個詞很有趣。

它指的是一個會議，

人們可以在這裡交換對某個議題的看法和觀點。

現在，很多論壇是現場舉行的，

但線上論壇是一個地方，

讓人們可以在這裡交流有關同一主題的想法。

對，

網路上有很多線上論壇。

你知道 "forum"

其實來自古羅馬的一個場所

那裡是政府會議的地方，大家會在那裡討論事情。

非常有趣！

接下來我們讀到：

"你怎麼知道自己是不是受害者呢？"

"受害者"是一個很好學的詞，朋友們，

我們來談談它吧。

受害者是指因為犯罪或負面行為而受傷害的人。

舉個例子：

Grandma was a victim of credit card fraud.

奶奶成為了信用卡詐騙的受害者。

"受害者"這個詞很適合搭配 "of" 來使用。

你可以說這個人的名字，

然後加上 "victim of"，

再說明

發生了什麼事讓他們變成了受害者。

沒錯。那麼，

我們在這裡繼續讀到：

"通常，巨魔會攻擊你所說的支持

或贊同的事物。"

好的，

這是巨魔的典型行為。

那麼，這個詞 "typically" 是什麼意思呢？

"Typically" 是一個很簡單的詞，朋友們，它的意思是

通常，指的是通常會發生的情況。

所以我們在這裡說的是

巨魔通常會做這些事情。

所以他們通常會攻擊你所說的事。

現在記得我們已經學過什麼是巨魔對吧？

但讓我們再複習一下，巨魔是指

故意發表一些語言來引起反應的人，通常是

負面或騷擾性的言論。

我們還讀到：

"They either insult you

directly or criticize a post's

topic."

有趣！

沒錯，這就是今天的用法小提示，朋友們，

一定要記下來。

我們繼續閱讀，這裡寫著：

"And they don’t

stop." 這是你知道

自己是網路巨魔受害者的一種方式。

如果巨魔說了一句惡意的話，

他們得到反應後，

就會繼續騷擾你，

尤其是如果他們得到情緒反應的話。

昨天我們談到了某人的情緒狀態，

但當我們談論情緒反應時，

到底是什麼意思呢？

嗯，

反應一般是指對某個行為或某個事件的回應，對吧？

所以情緒反應就是你對某件事做出的情緒反應。舉個例子，

如果你看到令人高興的事情，

你可能會有強烈的快樂情緒反應。

再舉個例子：

What was her reaction when you told her

how you felt?

當你告訴她你的感受時，她的反應是什麼？

反應當然可以是正面或負面。

你可以對好消息做出良好的反應，

也可以對壞消息做出不好的反應。

接下來我們讀到：

"If they get an emotional reaction,

that is what they are hoping for." 這就是

巨魔最初想要的，讓人們

做出負面的反應。

現在這個片語 "hoping for" 也很適合你們知道，

它表示想要某件事發生，

或者希望某件事成真。

對，

你的希望是你的期望，對吧？

希望你有好的希望。

它既可以是副詞 "hopefully"，

也可以是動詞 "I hoped"，

但通常我們看到它作為名詞——

某人的希望。

好了，朋友們，我們繼續學習網路巨魔的知識

在接下來的閱讀部分。

網路上的巨魔

你也可以識別巨魔，

因為他們會對討論的主題發表荒謬的言論，

希望能引起反應。

他們很可能不相信自己所說的話，

但他們的目標是讓你相信他們相信這些話，

並引發反應。

我們來看一下 "ridiculous" 這個形容詞。

它的意思是可笑的、荒謬的。

來看例句：

I must have looked ridiculous all day.

I had a leaf stuck in my hair and didn’t know it.

我一定一整天看起來很可笑，因為我頭髮上卡了一片葉子，卻沒有發現。

或者是：

The man’s claim that he could lift up a scooter seemed ridiculous, but he actually did it.

這名男子聲稱自己能舉起一台機車，聽起來很可笑，但他真的做到了。

他的副詞是 "ridiculously"，意思是荒謬的、過分的。

比如：

Baby shoes can be ridiculously expensive, and they really aren’t necessary if the child can’t walk yet.

嬰兒鞋可以貴得離譜，但如果孩子還不會走路，就真的沒有必要買。

好的，朋友們，我們繼續來討論如何辨別網路巨魔，並了解自己是否成為受害者。

我們在這裡可以看到，網路巨魔也能被辨認出來，因為他們會發表荒謬的言論。

我們停一下來解釋一下。

你剛才在語言實驗室中看到過 "ridiculous" 這個字，並且還看到另外一個字，"statements"。

我們所說的 "statements" 是什麼意思呢？

"Statement" 通常是指某人說出來的話，或者即使是寫下來的，也當作事實來看待。所以他們說出來某些話，並假裝自己認為這些話是真的。

我喜歡你說的「當作事實」，因為我認為這與我們平常所說某人說過的話有所不同。

在英文中，我們可能會說他們發表了一個聲明，這表示某人說某些話時，彷彿他們相信那些話是真的，就像 John 說的那樣，並且他們通常對這些話有更強烈的立場。

這裡是如何在句子中使用 "statement" 的例子：

The government released several statements to the press after the disaster.

政府在災難發生後，向媒體發佈了幾份聲明。

這是一個非常正式的說法，表示政府對此情況的正式立場。

你說得對。你會在正式文件中看到這個名詞，像是政府的回應。

那麼他們為什麼要這麼做呢？也許他們希望能引起反應。

這是一個很好的句型：「to get a reaction」（引起反應）。我們可以回顧一下。

沒錯。我們在上一段談到過反應可能是正面的或負面的。

當然，網路巨魔通常希望引起負面的反應。

這裡有一個例子：

The bully teased the other children just to get a reaction.

那個霸凌者只是在戲弄其他孩子，目的就是要引起反應。

對，我們常在談論人際關係時使用這個句型。

你可以說那位喜劇演員說了一個笑話，希望引起觀眾的反應。

現在，你也可以說你有一個反應。

有時候你可能會說，「我對那種化學品有過敏反應，發了很多過敏。」

對，這通常是指過敏反應。

如果你換了不同類型的肥皂，結果皮膚長了疹子，你就可以說：「我對那種肥皂有不好的反應。」

現在，這部分真的很有趣，朋友們，因為我們發現，網路巨魔很可能不相信他們所說的話。

所以他們發表這些聲明，彷彿它們是真的，彷彿他們站在背後支持它們，但事實上，他們真的這麼認為嗎？

對，你知道，有時候人們會試圖搞笑，所以有時候要對網路上的人寬容。

網路巨魔並不知道他們所說的話非常無禮。他們覺得自己很幽默，但正如我們所說，他們很可能並不相信自己所說的。

如果你相信你所說的話，這意味著你已經對自己所說的話的真實性深信不疑。

例如，我不相信他說的關於那晚發生的事情，這意味著你認為他在說謊。

現在我們在這裡看到關於網路巨魔更多的動機。

他們的目標是讓你相信他們真的相信自己所說的話，並讓你作出反應。

有趣的是，很多時候人們會進行政治辯論或類似的事情，並說出一些非常強烈的話，只是為了激怒或冒犯他人。

這才是真正的網路巨魔。你當然不想這麼做，但我相信我們現在有些遺憾地都看到過這種情況。

讓我們複習一下今天在 Info Cloud 中學到的一些英語：

Hello friends, welcome to Info Cloud.

Hey, Garrett, this morning’s meeting was very stressful.

我以為你會說點什麼。

Hey, Rex, everyone was arguing, so I didn’t want to add fuel to the fire.

嘿，我聽過這個表達，究竟它的意思是什麼呢？

Well, when someone says you’re adding fuel to the fire, it means you’re making a bad situation even worse.

當有人說你是在火上浇油時，意思就是你讓一個糟糕的情況變得更糟。

It sounds like a literal description. If there’s a fire and you throw more fuel on it, it gets bigger and harder to control.

聽起來像是字面上的描述。如果有一場火災，你再往裡面加燃料，火會變得更大，控制起來也更難。

Exactly! If two people are arguing and someone else makes a harsh comment, they’re adding fuel to the fire. They’re making the argument worse.

沒錯！如果兩個人在爭論，然後另外一個人說了刻薄的話，那就是在火上浇油，他們讓爭吵變得更糟。

所以這個表達的確是用於衝突中，但它也可以用來描述任何讓情況變得更糟的事物，比如散布謠言、指責他人，甚至在緊張的時刻給出壞建議。

Oh, I see! So it’s a phrase that reminds us to be careful about what we say or do in intense or difficult situations.

哦，我明白了！所以這是提醒我們在緊張或困難的情況下，要小心我們所說的話或做的事。

That’s right! In difficult situations, it’s always a good idea to make things better instead of worse.

沒錯！在困難的情況下，總是最好讓事情變得更好，而不是更糟。

當你看到兩個人吵得不可開交，不曉得你會怎麼處理呢？

今天要跟大家分享的用語是 add fuel to the fire，也就是火上浇油。

顧名思義，add fuel to the fire 就是讓一個很不好的情況變得更糟。

如果兩個人在爭論，然後有人說了一句刻薄的話，那就是在 add fuel to the fire，讓兩個人的情緒更糟，有可能爆發更大的衝突。

我們要小心，散布謠言、指責他人，甚至在緊張的時刻給出很不好的建議，都有可能 add fuel to the fire。

因此，在緊張或困難的情況下，我們都要謹言慎行。

這就是今天的 INFO Cloud，我們下次雲端見！

網路上的巨魔

那麼，我們應該怎麼做呢？大多數專家建議忽略他們。不要參與與他們的線上討論，因為這正是他們想要的。如果這個巨魔變得冒犯性強，你可以使用網站的「聯繫我們」連結或舉報按鈕，將他們的行為報告給管理員。不要讓巨魔佔了最後一個字。

接下來看「offensive」這個字。它可以當形容詞或名詞使用。作為形容詞時，意思是冒犯的或令人作嘔的。來看例句： Bob 對女服務員說了一句非常冒犯的話，於是餐廳經理客氣地請他離開。 With a ship, despite the offensive smell coming from it, the garbage truck fascinated the little boy. 儘管垃圾車散發著難聞的氣味，但它還是讓小男孩很著迷。

「Offensive」作為名詞時，則指進攻或攻擊。例如：我們的足球隊今年的進攻表現很棒，教練說我們可以打破得分紀錄。

謝謝你，Jack。朋友們，我們還有一部分要探討，並且有一個重要的問題。那麼，我們應該怎麼做？我們現在已經了解了有關巨魔的所有資訊，我們知道為什麼他們會這樣做，還有他們是怎麼做的，那麼接下來該怎麼辦呢？這篇文章接下來會怎麼說，John？我們聽說大多數專家建議忽略他們。如果你在忽略的話，這意味著你不給予關注，對吧？對，這意味著拒絕注意某些事情，或者完全忽視它。我明白了，所以你知道這件事正在發生，但你選擇不去理會它或對它採取行動。再次強調，巨魔是試圖引起反應的，所以如果他們得不到你的反應，他們可能就會離開。

我們還讀到「不要與一個巨魔參與線上討論」，意思是不要與某個巨魔討論。對，因為這正是他們想要的。 John，我們使用「exactly」這個詞時是什麼意思？「Exactly」意思是你剛才提到的事情是準確的或完全正確的。讓我們用它來造句：謝謝你的禮物，它正是我想要的。哦，明白！你也可以說「現在是兩點整」。那就意味著我們說的是兩點，時間正好是兩點，不是2:01，也不是1:59，就是兩點整。有時我們還會用「right on the nose」這個短語，意思是直接在某件事情上，這是「exactly」的另一個有趣用法。

好，現在我們看到，如果巨魔變得冒犯性強，你可以使用網站的聯繫我們連結或舉報按鈕。我們暫停一下，來討論幾個這些詞彙。首先，我們有這個詞「link」。當我們談論網站時，這是你需要知道的，指的是超連結。這是一個你可以點擊的東西，點擊後會帶你到另一個位置。有趣的是，link 也可以是動詞，表示將兩個事物連接在一起，這就是為什麼它也有這個名詞的意思。你可以說，「不要點擊那個連結，你不知道它是否是詐騙。」現在，朋友們，你們可以點擊一個連結來舉報巨魔。這裡有一個動詞「report」，意思是報告某些事情。但是，當我們在這裡談論在線上舉報某人時，它的意思是告訴網站的管理員某些負面的在線行為。以下是如何在句子中使用「report」的例子：如果這種行為繼續下去，我們就得報告給男孩們的事務部門。他們需要知道這件事。現在，我們在報告什麼或如何報告它呢？我們是在向管理員報告這些行為。當我們在這個情境中提到「administrator」，我們指的是管理該平台或網站的人。對了，你知道互聯網真的改變了英語，所以現在很多時候當我們談到在線管理員時，人們會直接說「admin」或「admins」。這可能不是標準的英語，但這就是大家使用這些詞的方式，所以你可能會向「admins」報告某人。讓我們在線上看看這個詞。這是一個很好的觀點！

我們這裡還看到一個：不要讓巨魔有最後一句話。如果有人有最後一句話，這意味著什麼呢？如果你擁有最後一句話，字面上意思是你最後說話，但它也意味著你最後發表意見，或者有時我們會說「擁有最後的決定權」。好，這就是「最後一句話」的意思。現在是今天的有趣小知識時間。

嗨，事實朋友們！我是侦探Ernest Finder，今天我有一個有趣的小事實要和你們分享。你知道有許多迷因代表網路上的巨魔嗎？有時這些迷因是圖畫。你知道迷因是什麼吧？它是帶有文字的小圖片。其中一個著名的迷因是神秘的綠色青蛙Pepe。他的畫得不太好，但還挺有趣的，這就是今天的有趣巨魔事實。

好了，朋友們，在我們結束今天的課程前，我們有一個「討論問題」要問你們：為什麼人們會成為網路上的巨魔？哇，這是一個很好的問題。嗯，我認為大多數人早上起來不會說，「媽，我今天要當一個巨魔。」但有一句名言：小心壞公司會腐化好品格。你知道，我們都喜歡得到讚，而有時候，當你的朋友鼓勵不良行為時，你最終會成為巨魔。我認為很多巨魔只是想要注意，或者他們自己的情緒狀態不對。我們必須小心對待當面和在線上對他人說的話。

好了，朋友們，今天的課程時間結束了。我是Anne Marie。我是John。朋友們，非常感謝今天和我們一起討論網路上的巨魔。下次在這裡 Studio Classroom 再見！
