你有沒有這種經驗:在國外旅行的時候,明明還沒聽到對方開口,就有一種「欸,他應該也是台灣人」的直覺。到底是哪裡露餡的?本週的《英語咖啡館》John 老師和 Angel 老師就來聊聊這件事。

本集節目裡我們先從排隊講起,John 老師說了自己天還沒亮就出門排隊的故事,Angel 老師則想起大學時候排隊買甜點,結果最後有點哭笑不得的收尾。另外還有手扶梯要站哪邊、星期幾要追垃圾車,還有幾句我們天天說,卻難以翻譯的萬用語!?

Have you ever had this experience: while traveling abroad, before the other person even opens their mouth, you get a feeling like "Hey, they must be Taiwanese too." What gave it away? This week on English Cafe, John and Angel discuss exactly this.

In this episode, we start by talking about queuing. Teacher John shares his story of leaving before dawn to line up, while TAngel recalls buying desserts in line during university, with an amusing ending. We also discuss which side of the escalator to stand on, which day to chase the garbage truck, and some catch-all phrases we say every day that are hard to translate!?
