Hello, my name is Jared. Today, we're going to look at collocations. Many words just go together. There are no rules to explain why; they just do. Let's have a look at a few now.
哈囉，我的名字是 Jared。今天，我們要來看英語搭配詞。許多字就是會搭在一起。沒有任何規則可以用來解釋為什麼；它們就是會一起出現。現在讓我們來看看幾個例子。
Take the word "make": You make a mistake, make progress, and make an effort. Or "do": You do your best, do business, and do the cooking. Collocations are used everywhere.
拿「make(做)」這個字當例子：你 make a mistake(犯錯)、make progress(取得進步)，還有make an effort(努力)。或者是「do(做)」：你 do your best(盡你所能)、do business(做生意)，還有 do the cooking(做菜)。搭配詞被用在各個地方。
The words we're looking at now are "a job." One of these words or phrases does not collocate with "a job." Look for, apply for, get, catch—you can "look for" a job, "apply for" a job, and if you're lucky, you will "get" a job, but you can't "catch" a job. It just doesn't collocate.
我們現在在看的詞是「a job(一份工作)」。這些字或詞組中有一個不能和「一份工作」 搭配。Look for(找尋)、apply for(應徵)、get(得到)、catch(抓住)－－你可以「找」工作、「應徵」工作，如果你很幸運，你就會「得到」一份工作，但你不能「抓住」一份工作。這就是無法搭配。
Here's the word "money." Which one of these words does not collocate with "money"? Make, save, cash, time? You can "make" money, "save" money, and "cash" money at a bank. Many people say that time is money, but you can't "time" money.
這裡是「money(錢)」這個字。這些字裡哪一個不能和「錢」搭配呢？Make(創造)、save(儲蓄)、cash(兌現)、time(時間)？你可以「創造」金錢、「儲蓄」金錢，還有在銀行「兌現」金錢。許多人說時間就是金錢，但你可沒辦法「時間」金錢。
Collocations can help you broaden your range of vocabulary. Being aware of and using collocations will help you in all parts of the exams—speaking, writing, reading, and even in the listening paper. Collocations are everywhere. You just need to look out for them. It isn't just when you're reading that you can focus on collocations, you can do it when you're watching television, especially if you have English subtitles to help you follow the audio. You can hear them in songs, on sports commentaries, announcements, and read them in signs or posters.
搭配詞可以幫助你拓廣你的單字範圍。留意並使用搭配詞將會在考試中的各個部分對你有益－－口說、寫作、閱讀，甚至是在聽力測驗時。搭配詞無所不在。你只需要仔細注意它們。不只是在你閱讀時可以將注意力放在搭配詞上，你也可以在看電視時這樣做，特別是如果你有英文字幕來幫助你跟上聲音時。你可以在歌曲、體育評論、公告中聽到搭配詞，還有在標示或海報上讀到它們。
When you learn a new word as well as the meaning, pronunciation, and so on, don't forget to notice which words it goes together or collocates with. Thanks for watching.
