播放一遍和三遍

(1) to shake hands 握手

講解：to shake hands 這個片語 hands 要複數，因為握手至少要有兩隻手。另外，握手的名詞是 handshake。一般握手是由男性主動，女性似乎比較少用握手問候。

01.

In casual non-business situations, men are more likely to shake hands than women.

(在一般非商業的情況，男人比起女人較可能握手。)

02.

A handshake is more than just a greeting. It's also a message about your personality and confidence level.

(握手不僅僅只是問候。它也是傳達個性和自信程度的訊息。)

(2) to look out 小心；注意

講解：to look out 是小心、注意的意思，相當於 to watch out 的用法，是不可分開片語。如果是從哪裡往外看，可以用片語 to look out of 。這兩個片語如果後接名詞，用介系詞 for。

01.

Look out! He's got a gun.

(小心！他有槍。)

02.

I looked out of the window and saw very beautiful scenery.

(我看出窗外並且看到非常漂亮的景色。)

(有龍捲風要來了，所以要小心，不要冒險。)

(3) to think of 想到，想出；認為

講解：to think of 是想到、想出的意思，當「認為」時等於 to think about 的用法，不可分開片語。

(4) to get back 回到

講解：to get back 中的 back 是副詞，後接 from 表示從什麼地方回來，後接 to 是回到某地方，回到家不用 to，因為 home 這裡是當「地方副詞」。另外，get back 也當「取回」的意思，例如 get my money back，先接名詞，再接 back。

01.

Let's get back to work.

(我們回去工作。)

02.

My brother got back from Japan yesterday.

(我的哥哥昨天從日本回來。)

03.

(要小心不要感冒。)

02.

01.
