大谷翔平效力於洛杉磯道奇隊。雖然他的膝蓋和手指有傷，但仍堅持參賽。

Main Body

Ohtani has a problem with his left knee. It is not from one accident. It is because he plays a lot. He also has a blister on his finger. The blister bled during a game because the medical glue did not work.

大谷的左膝有問題。這並非源於單一意外，而是因為他比賽過多。他的手指上還有一個水泡，由於醫療膠水失效，水泡在比賽過程中出血了。

Ohtani played against the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday. He did not pitch as well as before. He gave the other team four runs in the fifth inning. However, his team still won the game 5-4.

大谷在週三對陣坦帕灣光芒隊。他的投球表現不如以往，在第五局讓對方拿了四分。然而，他的球隊最終仍以 5-4 贏得比賽。

道奇隊希望大谷在賽季末能保持健康。總教練戴夫·羅伯茲希望維持原有的賽程。球隊非常謹慎，他們希望他能參賽，但不希望他遭受更多傷病。

Vocabulary Learning

⚡ THE 'NOT' SWITCH

In English, we use not to change a 'Yes' to a 'No'. For beginners, the most important thing is where to put it.

Pattern: [Person/Thing] + [Helping Word] + not + [Action]

Look at the text:

  • It is not from one accident. →\rightarrow (It is an accident →\rightarrow No, it isn't!)
  • The glue did not work. →\rightarrow (The glue worked →\rightarrow No, it didn't!)
  • He did not pitch as well. →\rightarrow (He pitched well →\rightarrow No, he didn't!)

🛠️ USEFUL WORDS FOR BODY PROBLEMS

When talking about health at an A2 level, use these simple pairs:

  • Sore →\rightarrow (Example: Sore knee) →\rightarrow Use this when something hurts because you used it too much.
  • Injury →\rightarrow (Example: Get more injuries) →\rightarrow Use this for the general problem of being hurt.

📈 THE 'STILL' EFFECT

We use still when a situation does not change, even if there is a problem.

The Logic: [Problem] →\rightarrow BUT →\rightarrow [Still doing the action]

Example from story: He has a sore knee →\rightarrow BUT →\rightarrow he still plays.

Try this logic: I am tired →\rightarrow BUT →\rightarrow I still study English.
