I swear I'll never do it again!

I can lend you money, but it’ll come with interest and you need to sign an IOU. 當你下次需要跟朋友說「嘿，這筆錢我可以借你，但我們要寫個借據算利息喔」，你該怎麼用英文開口才不尷尬？你可以試試這樣說： "I'm happy to help you out, but for this amount, I think it's smart for us to have a simple IOU and agree on a small interest rate. It just keeps everything clear for both of us." 這句話聽起來是不是很友善又直接？ 新版文章網址： https://english.arthurtoday.com/2025/06/how-to-say-lend-money-with-interest-and-iou.html

This drink tastes strange. Can we still drink it? 你是不是也曾打開冰箱，聞了一下牛奶，心想：「這個味道…還能喝嗎？」這種時候，英文到底該怎麼說才對？很多人第一反應是   The taste is strange. ，但這樣說其實有點卡卡的。想知道母語人士都怎麼說嗎？他們會用一個超簡單的詞： funny ！沒錯，就是   This milk tastes funny.   新版文章網址：  https://english.arthurtoday.com/2025/07/food-gone-bad-tastes-funny.html

 I accidentally overheard yesterday that you're on the layoff list.

I lost my job recently, and my wife has been nagging me every day to hurry up and find a new one. 

  I accidentally dropped my phone and cracked the screen. Now I have to get it fixed and it's gonna cost me a fortune. This sucks!

I lost my phone! What should I do?

 I have a cold, my nose keeps running, my throat hurts, I'd like to take a day off

Who just farted? It really stinks.

A car cut in front of me, I had no time to react and crashed.

 Wait, let me think of a better way to say this.

The elevator was out of order, and I had to walk up four floors. I'm totally wiped out!  

Why did you leave me on read?

I don't know why there are so many cars on the road today.

The car in front made an emergency brake, which caused me to almost hit it.

  I really don't understand what you're thinking, making such a basic mistake.

Sick 是形容詞，Illness 是名詞  

I'm stuck in traffic because of an accident up ahead.
