一个周六下午，Bob 独自一人在台北的大安森林公园闲晃。
他走着走着突然发现前方不远处有个外国游客在四处张望，好像很困扰的样子。
身为台湾好青年的 Bob 决定前往给予协助！
Bob: Hello! You seem to be confused. Do you need help?
Bob：你好！你看起来很困惑。你需要帮忙吗？
Foreign Tourist: Yes! Thank you!! Arghh I’ve been having a terrible day since this morning… My name is Anna. Nice to meet you.
外国游客：是的！谢谢你！啊啊，我今天早上真是糟透了…我叫做 Anna，很高兴认识你。
Bob: I’m Bob, nice to meet you too. I’m sorry to hear that you’ve had a bad day.
Bob：我是 Bob，我也很高兴认识你。我很遗憾你今天过得不顺利。
Anna: (sigh) I got separated from my friend this morning, and we’re supposed to meet at Taipei Main Station in an hour, but I don’t know how to get there.
Anna：(叹气) 我今天早上和我朋友走散了，我们应该再一个小时就要在台北车站会合的，但我不知道怎么去那里。
Bob: Don’t worry, Anna, I can help you. You see, we are at Daan Park now, and there’s a metro station not far from here.
Bob：别担心，Anna，我可以帮你。你看哦，我们现在在大安森林公园，这附近就有一个捷运站。
Anna: Really?
Anna：真的吗？
Bob: Yep, I can take you there and show you how to get to the train station.
Bob：真的呀，我可以带你去那里然后告诉你怎么去车站。

Anna：那就太好了！ ！ Bob，你人真好！
Bob: Haha, no problem. Let’s go. This way!
Bob：哈哈，别客气。我们走吧。往这里！
confused (adj.) 困惑的
confused 为形容词，意思是「困惑的；迷惑的」，它来自于动词 confuse「使困惑」，另外一个一样来自 confuse 的形容词为 confusing「令人困惑的」。这个词拆解开来为字首 con-「一起」加上 -fuse「融合；混合」，组合在一起直翻就是「混合在一起」，组合在一起也就乱呼呼的，令人困惑啰！
Tommy is confused by the jigsaw puzzle.
Tommy 被智力拼图搞迷糊了。
A: I’m telling you that the chicken should be put in the bag inside the box inside the refrigerator, and it should be taken out in 23 minutes so that you can…
B: Slow down! You’re confusing me!
A：我跟你说哦那个鸡啊应该放进那箱子里的袋子然后放冰箱然后 23 分钟后拿出来这样你才可以…
B：慢点！你让我好困惑呀！
separate (v.) 分离
separate 为动词，意思是「分离；分开」，常见的搭配为 seperate A from B (把 A 与 B 分开)。
Let’s separate and meet here in 15 minutes.
我们先分开然后 15 分钟后在这会合。
His parents have separated and live in different places.
他的父母离异，分居在不同的地方。
It’s so nice of you! 你人真好！
句型「It’s + 形容词 + of + 人」用来形容一个人的性格或人格特质，比如形容词可以填入 kind (亲切的)、rude (粗鲁的)，要记住这里形容词后接的介词是 of。

你和老师那样说话非常没礼貌！
继续看 Bob 和 Anna 走到哪了吧！

Bob: You mean the friend you’re going to meet at the train station?
