In American English we use nearsightedness vs farsightedness, although those words are not used often either. As to the degrees, most people don’t know and don’t care. We say,“ I can’t see without my glasses/contacts“ , “I’m legally blind “ “ my eyes are really bad”. If you’re older and have farsightedness, most of the time we say, “oh, I wear bifocals without lines”. “ I have to wear reading glasses “. If you want to know whether people have nearsightedness or farsightedness, you would say, “ do you wear glasses or contacts “.
@@itut550 it maybe British English. So she’s not wrong. It’s just the usage is different in US.. shortsighted here means you don’t consider the future, making decisions to merely fulfill immediate needs or desires
澳洲都係short sighted 😂
In English, shortsightedness means 短視，not nearsightedness means 近視。One is insulting. The other is an eye problem.
@@anonymous.369 That's American English. Melody was referring to British English.
生活化用語,度數的確會用power/degree來表達，只有極少數的人會知道dioptre這個度數單位。舉例近視/遠視400度，普遍都說-4或+4,你說-4.0/+4.0dioptre,估計對方會愣好久😂.
簡單易懂就是 myopia近視nearsighted,
Hyperopia遠視farsighted,presbyopia老花Old eye, Astigmatism散光glare
近視/遠視用 power 還可以，但在英國和北美，degree 一詞只適用於 Axis 軸位，即散光的方向 (0° 至 180° 之間）。去配眼鏡，驗光師跟你說的就是 dioptre 或 diopter。
用 Google 搜索一下英國和北美講解如何看懂眼鏡處方 how to read glasses prescription 的網站就知道了。
不過確實，說 -4 或 +4 (不加單位) 也是可以的，在超市賣的 reading glass 老花鏡上一般就一個數字 (如 +2.50)，不寫 dioptre 單位，因為不是自己親自去過驗光，不一定學會 dioptre 這個詞。
專業的來了的感覺
佢都係想拋書包姐, 雖然佢都係google搵
正解
我平時就是說degree外國人基本上沒有聽不懂的。不過近視眼這個話題很少聊我也沒聽過他們管度數叫什麼
不停重复错的说法真是没必要，对的没记住 错的听好几遍反而加强了
Diarrhoea係指肚屙，鬼佬會覺得尷尬而比較少用，所以一般會婉轉啲講成stomachache, stomach bug, food poisoning之類。
Office係寫字樓嘅意思，如果唔係返寫字樓工，會用my workplace來形容工作地點（或者視乎實際地點直接講my shop/restaurant/warehouse/clinic之類）。
日常讲 I have diarrhea 并无尷尬并会经常听到。Stomachache 指的是肚子疼，stomach bug 肠胃有细菌，food poisoning 食物中毒常上吐下泻，这些词语全并不能替代我肚屙，拉肚子。
Running stomach
沒錯通常是說stomachache 因為美國腸胃不分，跟我們不一樣。而且不是每個肚子痛都是拉肚子。
Stomachache唔係胃痛咩？唔講diarrhea可以講belly complaint，澳洲呢邊肚屙會用Gastro
@@stonpio1 stomachache 就是中文的肠胃疼，要准确点可说 bellyache, stomach pain. 广东说的肚屙，北方说的拉肚子或拉肚在美国就是 diarrhea，没第二种说法。
視力問題多數 -opia
近視 Myopia
遠視 Hyperopia
老花 Presbyopia
但有例外，
散光 Astigmatism
个人发现，外国佬和印度年轻人会有 hyperopia 的问题，东亚的人除非眼球发生状况，很少有 hyperopia 的问题。
腸胃炎我們通常會講 Gastro，特別是請假的時候。遠近視可以簡單講 +4, -4. 我公司可以簡單翻譯成 my workplace，比較少人口語講 the company I work for.
😂👍 根在就只用plus 同minus
Agree, though academically sound, still don't think Melody knows living English well. Many sound obviously awkward and from book to me, Perhaps she should find an English native speaker boyfriend, that will help for sure.
通常唔會咁復習，一般人唔會理你有幾多度近視👓，所以 只需要I need a pair of glasses cos I have myopia (myopia 已經是好淺嘅字）最多講 I have moderate level of myopia, therefore I put on my glasses whenever I read and write ✍🏻 或者 I have poor eyesight so I need to make a little adjustment
"Myopia" 其實已經走進了大眾的詞彙，日常使用也很自然
Very good! I have never had a conversation regarding my eye sight, but this is very helpful. Thanks! 🤗
No problem!
You learn something new everyday ! 😂😅
I am short-sighted 含有短视的意思，很少人这样讲。一般讲法是 I am near-sighted。这点用词，英文中文刚好是一致。
外國好少人用short sighted. 通常用near sighted
對，因為short-sighted 有貶義，指人短視沒長遠眼光。
正解
我们马来西亚人是 short sighted
通常唔會咁復習，I need a pair of glasses 👓 cos I have myopia (myopia 已經是好淺嘅字）
@@sklai1907加埋個度數咪一樣咁複雜，有咩分別
Astigmatism 还有一个较 casual 叫法是 cylinder，因为 Astigmatism 的成因就如长筒状（cylindrical 状），所以非专业医学术语行内人士普遍通称 cylinder。而且也很少人会直接的叫 Astigmatism，多数都会叫 Astig。
在美国来说，astigmatism 是普遍日常用语，几十年从没听过 cylinder 或 Astig 两字
cylinder只會通常喺自己張prescription嗰度見到.
咪玩啦, 邊有人同其他人講啲乜乜myopia, diopters, 人哋以為你喺度扮嘢㖭.
你近視500度就講minus 5.0, 遠視就講plus 5.0, 冇人會講啲乜嘢hypertropia 5.0 diopters. Google translate都冇咁白痴啦!
@@zhammmy the refraction is rarely a conversation topic.

@@fng5304 Not every native speaker are educated to a high level. Average person off the street might not be the best example. In fact in schools grammar is not taught extensively.
Near sighted is the proper terminology. Or far sighted if you need reading glasses.
太好了，看Melody 的视频，既学英文又学广东话😊
感謝支持！
@@MelodyTam有少許廣東話本身没有的英語發音。但無礙大家(包括我)學習英文。謝謝你
唔知部分後生的香港人知唔知距地讀出“中”“初”“直””絕“一類字發音時會過分强調前面那個“主”音（雙唇過分突出）？老香港都知道其實在上時間80年代以前，是沒有這個讀音問題的。直至80年代初有一個香港某電臺的主持因爲距自己有口吃，把上述發音錯讀之後，年輕的一代不以爲錯反以為是潮流並開始追逐潮流，有更甚者是有過之而無不及，把那個本不該發出的”主“音強調提高。大家不妨自己去查閲一下粵音注音字典，看看其正確的讀音。
只看留言都學到不少, 謝謝大家分享。
在美國 , 一般會用our compay, instead of "the company I am working for"
.
This works 👍🏻👍🏻
My employer
是的呢，我們從上到下都會說our company體現一種「和諧」的ownership。至於和外人聊到公司，比較正式的就說my employer，或者公司比較有名氣就直接說公司名即可。the company I work for之類的 語法沒錯，但也太囉嗦⋯⋯⋯不知道這博主講的是什麼地方的英文，但她說的幾個，美國基本都不會這樣講。
美國有啲公司係 employee-owned
In Canada we just say our company
Very good video. Just one thing I wanna point out. @12:22 如果用take you home, 會被誤會要帶人返自己屋企, 唔好用take啦 😂
Agree, though academically sound, still don't think Melody knows living English well. Many sound obviously awkward and from book to me, Perhaps she should find an English native speaker boyfriend, that will help for sure.
Her videos are very helpful, but agree with you that a lot of these are not how people actually speak in real life. It kinda also depends on where you are, and who you are talking to. Diopters is not really used in many parts of the world, including where I came from :) in Singapore, we don’t use any of these. Same for “My Company”. Usually in many parts of the world people use the phrase “my company” loosely. Generally people don’t use “employed by” in conversational English :) understanding cultural differences, conversational vs written English are all equally important. 例如， 你冇可能同人講 “Will you be coming to the office which I am working at?”. Instead, you’ll say “Will you be coming to my office?” 因為咁樣自然啲. 加油啊, Melody! TLDR, same for “send you home”.
Agree with Penoguinheadd. To avoid potential risk or embarrassment, it may be safer for a male to say "see you home" to a female colleague, etc.
You would typically say "I have stomach ache" or "my stomach is not feeling well" in your example. Diarrhea is too graphic and specific in this instance. For myopia, you would typically say "near sighted". I would understand "short sighted" if you were talking about eye sight but the term alone typically means "lack of foresight". I'm from the US so perhaps this is a US vs. British thing.
為左省去不必要的英文羅輯問題 我決定去開一間公司 咁以後就可以大大聲咁講my company 啦
I did hear many ppl in the US say "my company" or "our company" to refer to the companies they are working for. The word is a little ambiguous. But depends on the context, ppl should be able to understand what you actually mean in most cases.
我们店里有卖reading glasses, 一般的问答内容就是
customer: do you sell reading glasses?
me: yes we do, it's right over there. what number you after?
customer: 2.5
me: they are on the second row
睇留言比睇片學到更多正確英文😅
Great video, Melody. Please keep these great videos coming. Totally amused by those real-life mini-dialogues throughout this 14mins production. Well done! Bravo👍🏻👍🏻
The viewers of this video seem pretty enthusiastic leaving their comments below. Inspired by their interesting input, I’d like to share mine too (based on my observation and dialogues with native English speakers over three decades) 😂
1. Melody is correct that laymen (working in non-medical/ non-ophthalmological/ non-optometric fields ) would apply terms like “myopia”, “hyperopia”, “presbyopia” in ordinary everyday conversation - unless you may be engaging in a dialogue with an ophthalmologist, optician, or medical professionals.
2. When describing and discussing deep about the vision issue with non-medical related individuals, “shortsightedness” and “nearsightedness” can be used interchangeably to describe myopia actually experienced. For presbyopia, can just describe as “age-related longsightedness/ age-related farsightedness”.
3. To describe our vision in absolute details (i.e. the digits and mention of diopters - to be honest, laymen almost never ask), my own and the native English speakers’ responses are only describing as “plus 4.5”, “minus 2.5” - as astigmatism is of low mention among laymen friends. If desperate to talk about astigmatism, I would use “blurred vision”.
3. Other than “see you home”, maybe can say “Your place is round the block. We’ll drop you off.”
Thank you 💗
Can we say “blurry vision” instead of “blurred vision”? Thanks❤
My glasses are 250 degrees short-sighted (Globally understandable by both general public and professionals)
=
My spectacle prescription is minus 2.5 diopters OU
I like the one above better honestly.
以前讀書時老師都係教short-sighted 就算，你話wear glasses, 其實無咩意思，因為香港人好多人貪靚，係帶平光鏡既，反而你後生搖搖，都無可能遠視，不過以前真係未聽過當wear glasses 等於近視，好吾科學，萬一人地遠視呢？同埋，你話short-sighted 就係人地誤會你目光短淺，無可能啦，英文好多時都有呢類雙面語，好多時都係靠聽果個人去意會，目光短淺係貶語，無人甘樣話自己，如果句句都要擔心人地西人意會錯，不如講返中文，搵個人翻譯好過啦！！呢個玩法無可能成功考過香港任何公開試！！
在美國， I'll see you home 的意思是 我們等一會兒在家裏見面。
問需不需要送你一程，常見的有這種問法:
Can I walk you home?
Can I give you a ride home?
Can I walk you to your car?
Can I follow you in my car?
最後一個問題不常見，所以你可能要解釋為什麼你想跟著他。不然可能會引起誤會。
I haven’t heard of people using diopters as a way of answering how bad is your eyesight. We normally describe perfect eyesight, as in no correction needed, with 20/20. 😂
that is the expression for visual acuity, does not describe the refraction of the person's prescription.
MELODY,呢段片內容很豐富,感謝😀
多謝支持！
Myopia is referred as nearsighted in the US and never shortsighted. Also will never say "I have diarrhea" unless talking to the doctor. 😅
you can describe diarrhoea as "I have the runs"
Thank you, Melody. You help me get acquainted more about the language.
肚痛會講 have an upset stomach 多過會講病病徵
咁my school會否俾人誤以為我開辨的學校呢?
Who would say 'eyeglasses' and 'diopters'? It's pretty simple in Australia when it comes to the eyesight topic...we would just say 'I'm shortsighted and need to wear glasses...the prescription of my glasses is -2.5.'
其實中文用"我公司"都係公司持有者, 係大家共識咗係"我工作的公司" 簡化版, 而喺美加, 口語化講眼度數, 一般都係用eye grade, e.g. I have high eye grades on astigmatism, my eye glasses grade is 400
informative ! thumbs up ! If you pay more attention to your pronunciation you'll make a great video !
Agree, don't know where she has picked up such an overt "American" accent which always sounds pretentious to me. BBC one is much better and pleasant to listen to.
老外近視正如樓下說的:near sight。一般沒人說幾度，2.0(20/20 vision)為標準度數...1.5啊等等餘此類推。有時候英文不是母語，盡可能別去亂教英文!
6:45 its things have been busy recently not things are because you added a recently at the end so it has to be present perfect
講的好詳細好全面 不過comments裡面一班以為自己先係唯一正解既人。。
In Malaysia, we say shott sighted
应该直接教正确的，先教错的，我感觉我最后只记住了错的😂
Actually Americans or Europeans do say "my company" 喎...just that it is contextual and it wont be the start of a conversation.
We usually use eyeglasses instead of eye-glass.
The last time I had to answer this exact question many years ago (as a student in a classroom context), I either didn’t know or forgot the unit “diopters”, so I answered in SI units:
“-4.5 per meter” 😅😂
ps. But i still stated my astig in (angular) degrees lol
Melody唔好意思，條片8個月前依家問返轉頭，有兩個表達方式我一直唔明想搵人問
1) 如果我表達我返工地方唔係一個office，英文點表達？例如我返工地
2) 如果我份工唔係一間"公司"，例如我做政府工，或一啲某某機構，我想描述當中發生既事，咁唔用the company I work for 可以用乜？
希望你能解答🙏
1· I work in the field.
Hello Melody! 想問下，在DSE口語考試的group discussion中，如果講話比較文縐縐，是不是會好一點？好似書面寫作用語一樣？還是可以幾自然就幾自然？另外，一個好奇怪的point：如果group discussion表現好好，但individual response不小心沒聽清而表現好差，考官會點比分？
請問老師，如果想同人講我有200度老花應該點講呢？🙇🏻♂🙏🏻
Good learning English explanation 👍👍👍
In Chinese, even 我公司 means you own the company. It might be more appropriate to say 我们公司, meaning "it is NOT my company"
Our company, no misunderstanding
想問下例如係400度係咪一定要講four point O，唔要小數點直接講four diopters得唔得？
老花的學術字眼是presbyopia, 請問有沒有一個平民一點的説法呢？
非常實用！ 謝謝你！
客氣了
I just ‘liked’ and subscribed your channel! 🎉
“My prescription is 2.5 near sighted with astigmatism”
“我近視250度，仲有d散光”
我一直講-2.5, 唔會用diopters亦都唔會講near sight/far sight, 個個都聴得明
一般口語的確可以用簡寫～
其實eyesight 用20/20 代表perfect，之後用need a little adjustment，moderate adjustment，almost blind
Saying my company is fine too as long as the context doesn’t mislead.
We don't say degree, we say what is your power, that is the every day English.
we say near sighted.
Hello Melody ，想請教下，喺日常裏面，想教小朋友要有禮貌，應該點樣表達呢？ (例如叫佢唔好大聲講嘢，要有禮貌)
Use indoor voice

是否可用 I'll drive you home or I'll walk you home?
其實最常見的對話是先問對方的目的地，are you heading/going home? 再說I can give you a ride. give you a ride home 這個用法沒錯，但是現實對話中對方已經說了要回家，那你沒必要重複home。對方還沒說要去哪，你就直接要送人家回家也太怪了吧⋯drive you home類似，是可以的，在你不需要詢問對方也知道他要回家的話，比如你的伴侶或者孩子，這個很自然。否則人家沒說要去哪，上來就送人回家，有點嚇人⋯至於walk you home 沒有語法錯誤，但表達的意思更像是我護送妳回家，對方不熟悉路，或者需要保護，這樣用還可以，但就是妳和同事一起順路散步回去，walk together或者就walk就可以了⋯
@@lampaabb8645 All clear now...Thanks so much
Very useful. I usually use long-sighted instead of far-sighted. Not sure if there is any difference.

slightly blind or,
quarterly blind or,
half blind or,
completely blind.

以前有分享過～ czcams.com/video/NBcEtsBeVl4/video.html
Near-sighted, not short-sighted
1：在加油站加油，想問我的車要加幾號的油，卻不知道如何表達“幾號”。2：在醫院護士量了體溫，我想知道溫度計上的刻度顯示是多少度，卻不知道如何說“刻度”。哎，當時直接搶過來看。
通常在美加，你應該要知道自己架車入乜油，車的說明書有寫，唔應該問加油站。美加的油站分87 octane, 91 octane 和94 octane.
請問 the company that I work WITH 係乜嘢意思？
btw，short sighted不是目光短浅的意思吗🥲
近視可以用near-sighted，較不會誤會
