Can you use this app?你会用这个应用吗?

我们用 "can" 谈论科技和能力。词汇:smartphone、computer、app、internet、password、account、message、social media、use、download、useful、drive。重要语法:"can" + 动词原形。用 "can" 表示能力("I can swim"、"She can drive"、"I can speak English")、可能("You can pay with your phone")、许可或提议("Can I sit here?"、"You can use my computer")。否定是 "cannot" 或缩写 "can't":"I can't swim"。最重要的规则:"can" 后接动词原形,不加 "to"。注意:很多学习者在 "can" 后加 "to"(像 "want to"、"like to"):"I can to swim" ✗ → "I can swim" ✓。文化角(§6):科技与英语。

"can" + 动词:能力、可能、许可

Explanation

"can" 是情态动词,有三个作用。(1) 能力——你能做的事:"I can swim"、"She can drive"、"I can speak English"。(2) 可能——可能发生的事:"You can pay with your phone"、"You can download the app for free"。(3) 许可与提议:"Can I sit here?"、"You can use my computer"。"can" 对每个主语都相同(I / you / he / she / we / they can)——绝不加 "-s"。否定是 "cannot",通常缩写为 "can't":"I can't swim"。关键规则:"can" 后面总接动词原形——不加 "to"。注意:因为 "want"、"like" 等动词接 "to"("I want TO go"),很多学习者也在 "can" 后加 "to":"I can to swim" ✗ → "I can swim" ✓。"can" 后面去掉 "to"。

Examples

  • I can swim.我会游泳。
  • She can drive a car.她会开车。
  • You can pay with your phone.你可以用手机付款。
  • Can I use your computer?我可以用你的电脑吗?
  • I can't speak French.我不会说法语。

Technology and English科技与英语

英语与科技紧密相连。英语是互联网的主要语言,学会它就打开了一个巨大的数字世界。事实上,即使在其他语言里,很多科技词也是英语——世界各地的人都说 "app"、"online"、"download"、"email"。所以你学英语的同时,也在学习现代数字生活的语言。

互联网的语言

A very large share of the world's websites are in English, and English is the common language of technology companies and programming. That is why so many English words have entered other languages: "click", "online", "selfie", "streaming". Even if you do not live in an English-speaking country, you will meet English every day on the internet. Knowing these words helps you use apps and websites more easily — and helps you learn English at the same time.

发短信与缩写

When people text or chat in English, they often use short abbreviations to save time: "LOL" (laughing out loud), "BRB" (be right back), "OMG" (oh my god), "BTW" (by the way), "TTYL" (talk to you later) and "IDK" (I don't know). People also add emoji to show feelings. These are casual and friendly — great for chatting with friends, but NOT for a school essay or a formal email. It is useful to recognise them, because you will see them everywhere online.

正式、非正式与自动更正

Online English is often relaxed: people drop capital letters, use contractions like "I'm" and "don't", and skip full stops. That is fine with friends, but for a school essay or a work email you should write full, formal English. Also, phones use "autocorrect" and predictive text, which can be helpful but sometimes change your word into a funny wrong one — so it is good to check before you send. Being aware of tone — casual or formal — is an important part of using English online.

科技是练习英语最好的方式之一。你可以把手机语言改成英语、用语言应用、看带字幕的视频,或在网上和朋友聊天。通过你已经在用的科技,每天一点点英语,会很快积累起来。所以打开一个应用,试试看吧!
