你正在學習外語嗎？ ChatGPT（雞婆弟）在你的學習過程中，可以成為你的專屬家教，隨時隨地做你的對話夥伴、語法和文化顧問、詞彙教練以及練習聽力和閱讀的輔助工具。注意，ChatGPT 只是一個輔助工具，有時它可能會誤解、犯錯或自作聰明，你可以把它當作一個重要的助手，但你不能完全依賴它。
本文將以學習英語為例，分享如何利用 ChatGPT 來加強你聽說讀寫的能力。同樣的思路也可以用於學習其他語種，比如法語、西班牙語、德語、希臘語、日語、韓語等。不過，對於一些小語種，ChatGPT 的能力可能不如英語那麼強。
免費版還是付費版？
ChatGPT 目前有免費版 GPT-3.5 模型 及付費版的 ChatGPT Plus（$20/月）。免費版不顯示模型，登入後直接在底部的對話框裡（Send a message）開始。
付費版默認為 GPT-3.5，增加了 GPT-4 模型，並在 GPT-4 底下提供原始（Default）、搜尋（Browse with Bing）及插件（Plugins）三種模型：
- 搜尋模型可以幫你在 Bing 上面搜尋讀取各大網站最新的資料並彙總整理，彌補 ChatGPT 只有 2021 年 9 月以前資料的不足。
- 插件模型可以選擇最多 3 個插件，做出更全面的回答、或增加學習樂趣。
建議選擇付費版的 ChatGPT Plus，因為 GPT-4 比 GPT-3.5 能力更強（點擊這裡可以看到它們參加各項考試的結果）、更可靠、有更好的響應速度、更高的穩定性、創造力及更深更廣的信息資料，並且能更早使用新的功能。
即使只用默認的 GPT-3.5，付費用戶的穩定性也比免費用戶強（我以前用免費賬戶的時候，等待時間明顯要長，甚至常常報錯）。另外注意，付費用戶雖然可以用 GPT-4，但目前有每 3 個小時只能返回 25 條信息的限制。
要使用付費版的搜尋和插件模型，首先在免費版左下方點擊 Upgrade to Plus 升級，然後點擊左下方你 email 右方三個點，到 Settings 打開模型，就會如上圖出現在 GPT-4 下方了。
順帶一提，如果你想把背景像我一樣設置成深色，到 Settings – General – Theme – System 下方，選擇 Dark 即可。
插件目前有近百種且還在不斷增加，由第三方應用程序提供，不受 OpenAI 控制。要使用插件，需要安裝，首先選擇插件模型（Plugins），進入 Plugin Store，看到想要的插件點擊 Install 安裝，或者在搜尋列找到你想要的插件安裝。
安裝好就會出現在插件模型下面，點選你要使用的插件即可開始對話。開始對話後如果要使用其它插件，就需要建立新的 New chat 。
不同模型不能同時使用，登入 ChatGPT 之後，建立 New chat，然後選擇模型開始進行對話，選擇的模型會顯示在熒幕上方。
下面是使用免費版和付費版各個模型問同樣問題得到的答案。如果你想嘗試一下這些指令 (prompts)，可點擊對話右側的圖標複製。
| 「好爽」用英文怎麼說？ |
| 「好爽」用英文可以翻譯為 “It feels great” 或者 “It’s so satisfying” 。 |
| 「好爽」用英文怎麼說？ |
| 「好爽」可以用英文表述為 “It feels great” 或者 “It’s so enjoyable!” |
| 「好爽」用英文怎麼說？ |
| 「好爽」在英文中可以翻譯為 “So cool!” 或者 “So awesome!” 或 “So refreshing!” 不過請注意，這個翻譯並非直接的翻譯，而是根據上下文環境所得出的理解。因為「爽」在中文中的含義可能取決於所處的具體上下文。 |
付費版 GPT-4 的搜尋 Browse with Bing (Web Browsing) 模型：
我第一次試的時候它沒有上網搜尋，只給了個簡單的答案，所以在問題後面補充，要它搜尋，可以看得見它的動作：搜尋、點擊、讀取等，總結出來除了解答，還提供信息來源。
| 「好爽」用英文怎麼說？在網上幫我搜尋看看都有哪些說法 |
| The Chinese phrase “ 好爽” can be translated into English in several ways, depending on the context. Here are some possibilities: 1. Awesome 2. Sweet 3. Feel great 4. Feel like a million bucks 這些表達方式都能捕捉到” 好爽” 的快樂、滿足的感覺。例如，當你在學校再次名列第一，你可能會說 “Sweet!” 或 “Awesome!” 。當有人告訴你她喜歡你，你可能會感到”ecstatic”（狂喜的）或感覺像”feel like a million bucks”（感覺極好）1 。 Keep in mind that expressions can vary greatly depending on context and the specific feeling you want to convey. |
付費版 GPT-4 的插件 Plugins 模型：
這裡我選了 “Speak” 插件，它除了解答還提供了對話例句。 Speak 是一款語言學習家教插件，會考慮到用戶問題中的任何額外上下文，如語氣、場景、情境、說話風格和正式程度、用法註釋或其他，以提供最準確和有用的答案。這個插件雖然叫 “Speak”，但它並不會發聲說話，下面在聽說的部分會介紹如何讓 ChatGPT 發聲說話。
| 「好爽」用英文怎麼說？ |
| 「好爽」在英文中可以翻譯為 “That feels amazing”，這是非常非正式或俚語的表達方式。這個表達常用語描述物理感覺或愉快的體驗。 這裡有一些其他的表達方式： 1. “That feels so good!” (非正式 – 常用於描述物理感覺或愉快的體驗) 2. “This is amazing!” (非正式 – 可用語描述任何積極的情況或體驗) 3. “This is awesome!” (比 “amazing” 更強調，可用於各種情景) 例如，在一個對話中： Mia 正在享受足部按摩，她無法停止對它的讚美。 Mia: “Oh my god, this is amazing, I never want it to end!” Sarah: “I know, right? I feel like I’m walking on clouds now.” Mia: “I swear, I would live like this forever.” |
那 Plugins 有沒有可以上網搜尋的插件，可以和 Speak 同時使用的呢？答案是有的，比如 Metaphor 、 KeyMate.AI Search 、 edX 、 TotalQuery Search 等，有些會要求你取得一次性代碼（one-time code）認證後才能使用。
要讓 ChatGPT 上網搜尋，還有瀏覽器外掛， 比如 WebChatGPT，它可以安裝在 Chrome 、 Brave 、 Edge 等瀏覽器上面，使用 ChatGPT 時，它會在下方出現功能選項讓你選擇使用。而且這個外掛在免費版也可以用。
如果你不想花錢，也可以使用免費版要它進一步提供其它解答、例句或對話，只是多花點時間。這是我在免費版的同一個對話中進一步提問及它的解答：
| 有其他說法嗎？ |
| 當描述一種愉悅、滿足或享受的感覺時，除了「好爽」，還有一些其他的表達方式如： 1. It’s fantastic. 2. It’s amazing. 3. It’s delightful. 4. It’s exhilarating. 5. It’s blissful. 6. It’s enjoyable. 7. It’s pleasurable. 8. It’s euphoric. 9. It’s refreshing. 10. It’s thrilling. 這些詞彙都可以根據具體語境選擇適合的表達方式。 |
| 請提供英語對話 |
| A: I just had an intense basketball game, and it felt amazing! B: Really? How did it feel? A: It was fantastic! It was so exhilarating. B: So, did you feel fulfilled? A: Absolutely! There’s nothing quite like the satisfaction of playing basketball. B: I enjoy sports too. Every time I conquer a challenge, it brings me immense pleasure. A: Exactly! That feeling of triumph is truly indescribable. Please note that the above dialogue is for reference purposes, and the specific conversation may vary depending on the context, personal style, and situation. |
下面分享使用 ChatGPT 學習英語的一些方法。我以付費版為例，有些使用了插件，你可以自行用同樣的問題問免費版，這樣你就能看到兩個版本回答的差別，再選擇要不要升級。

二、問 ChatGPT 不懂的單字/詞彙，提供該字詞的所有用法、例句、對話等。
| “Deficit” 是何意？請提供所有用法、英文例句和對話。 |
| “Deficit” 是一個名詞，用來描述某物或某種情況的不足或缺陷。它可以指財政赤字、能力不足、短缺或不足之處等。下面是一些關於 “deficit” 的用法、英文例句和對話： 1. 財政赤字（Financial Deficit）： The government is facing a huge budget deficit this year.（政府今年面臨著巨大的財政赤字。） The country’s deficit has been increasing steadily over the past few years.（該國的赤字在過去幾年裡穩步增加。） 2. 能力不足（Skill Deficit）： The company is struggling to find qualified candidates due to a skills deficit in the job market.（由於就業市場中存在技能不足，該公司很難找到合格的候選人。） The education system needs to address the skills deficit among graduates.（教育體系需要解決畢業生的技能不足問題。） 3. 短缺（Shortage Deficit）： There is a deficit of affordable housing in this city.（這個城市缺乏經濟適用房。） The deficit of clean water is a major concern in many developing countries.（許多發展中國家對清潔水資源的不足非常關注。） 以下是一個關於 “deficit” 的對話示例： A: Have you heard about the education budget cuts?（你聽說過教育預算削減的事情嗎？） B: Yes, I heard that the government is facing a huge deficit and they had to make some tough decisions.（是的，我聽說政府面臨巨大的財政赤字，所以他們不得不做出一些艱難的決定。） A: It’s really concerning, especially considering the already existing skills deficit among graduates.（這真的令人擔憂，特別是考慮到已經存在的畢業生技能不足問題。） B: Absolutely. The lack of investment in education will only worsen the deficit in skilled workers.（確實如此。對教育的缺乏投資只會加劇技術工人的不足問題。） |
三、要求它提供單字的字根、字源、同義詞、反義詞，比較相似的單字等。
| 請提供”deficit” 的字根、字源、同義詞、反義詞以及比較和 “lack” 有何不同。 |
| “Deficit” 的字根是拉丁詞根 “deficere”，意為 “ 不足” 或 “ 缺乏” 。它源自於拉丁動詞 “deficere”，由 “de-“（意為 “ 缺乏”）和 “facere”（意為 “ 做”）組成，字面意思為 “ 做不足” 。 以下是一些與 “deficit” 相關的同義詞和反義詞： 同義詞： – Shortfall（不足） – Shortage（短缺） – Insufficiency（不足） – Deficiency（缺乏） – Inadequacy（不足） 反義詞： – Surplus（盈餘） – Excess（過剩） – Abundance（充裕） – Ample（充足） – Sufficient（足夠） 與 “lack” 相比，”deficit” 強調的是某種不足或缺陷的狀態，而 “lack” 則側重於描述缺乏或不具備某種特定的事物或品質。 “Deficit” 指的是在某個領域或方面的不足，通常與數量、能力或資源等相關。另一方面，”lack” 更廣泛地表示缺乏或沒有某樣東西。 例如： There is a deficit of skilled workers in the IT industry.（IT 行業缺乏熟練工人。） There is a lack of opportunities for career advancement in this company.（這家公司缺乏職業發展的機會。） 在這兩個例子中，”deficit” 強調了某個特定領域的不足，而 “lack” 則指涉到了一般性的缺乏或不足。 |
| 他們的使用場景有何不同？ |
| “Deficit” 和 “lack” 在使用場景上有一些不同之處。下面是它們的一些常見使用場景和區別： 1. “Deficit” 的使用場景： 經濟和財政領域：描述財政赤字、預算不足或財務虧損。 技能和能力領域：指出某人或某地區在特定領域的不足，如技能、知識或能力。 資源和供應領域：描述某物的不足或短缺，如水資源、能源或食物等。 2. “Lack” 的使用場景： 物質和具體對象：指出某物的缺乏或不具備，如錢、材料、設備等。 抽象和非具體領域：描述某種缺乏或不足，如機會、理解、經驗等。 品質和屬性領域：表達某人或某物缺乏某種品質或特徵，如毅力、創造力或耐心等。 總體而言，”deficit” 更常用於描述數量、財務、技能或資源的不足，而 “lack” 更廣泛地用於描述物質、抽象概念或品質的缺乏。但它們在某些情況下可以有一定的重疊和交替使用，具體取決於語境和所要表達的含義。 |
| 為何 deficit 是有 de- 和 facere 兩個詞根組合而成，而不是 de 和 ficere? |
| 對不起，我之前給出的信息有誤。實際上，”deficit” 這個詞並不是由 “de-” 和 “facere” 兩個詞根組合而成。 正確的詞源是來自拉丁詞 “deficere”，它由 “de-“（意為 “ 向下” 、 “ 完全” 或 “ 不”）和 “facere”（意為 “ 做”）組成，因此 “deficere” 的字面意思是 “ 做不完全” 或 “ 不足” 。而 “deficit” 則是從 “deficere” 派生出來的名詞形式，表示某種不足或缺陷。 非常抱歉給你帶來了混淆和困惑。感謝你的指正，我會注意核對詞源和信息以提供準確的回答。 |
請注意，ChatGPT 也會提供錯誤的信息，尤其是在它不擅長的領域，比如時事、事實等。在解釋 “deficit” 的詞源時，ChatGPT 也會給出不同的答案（參見我上面和下面分別用 GPT-3.5 和 GPT-4 給出的答案）。從我的經驗來看，在日常對話等語料更豐富的應用場景，ChatGPT 的準確性會高很多。
| 請提供”deficit” 的字根、字源、同義詞、反義詞以及比較和 “lack” 有何不同。 |
| “Deficit” 是一個英文詞，以下是相關的詞根、字源、同義詞、反義詞的詳細信息。 字根：Deficit 源自拉丁語詞根 “deficere”，意思是 “ 缺乏” 。 字源：Deficit 詞首次出現在英語中是在 1782 年，從法語 “déficit” 中直接借用而來，而法語則源自拉丁語 “deficit”，表示 “it is lacking” 。在拉丁語中，”deficere” 是一個動詞，意為 “ 失敗，不足，缺失” 。 同義詞：Shortage，shortfall，lack，scarcity，dearth 。 反義詞：Surplus，excess，abundance 。 “Deficit” 與 “lack” 的區別： 這兩個詞都指某樣東西的缺乏或不足。但是，”deficit” 經常用於經濟或財政的語境中，通常指收入低於開支的情況。例如，當一個國家的支出超過其稅收收入時，我們就會說這個國家有財政赤字（fiscal deficit）。 而 “lack” 是一個更通用的詞，可以用於各種不同的語境中，用來描述任何形式的缺乏或不足，不論是物質（例如水、食物等）還是非物質的（例如時間、技能等）。例如，我們可以說一個人缺乏經驗（lack of experience），或者一個地方缺乏食物（lack of food）。 所以，這兩個詞的主要區別在於它們的使用語境，儘管它們都表示某種形式的不足或缺乏。 |
下面的影片可以幫助你學到單字不會忘記：
練習對話或閒聊
一、用英語和 ChatGPT 進行日常對話閒聊（可說話或打字）、表達想法或感受。聽說的部分我們要用到能讓 ChatGPT 發聲說話的瀏覽器外掛（可以在免費版使用）： Talk-to-ChatGPT 或 Voice Control for ChatGPT ，這兩個插件都可以調整語速及挑選不同口音。
下面的影片示範了使用 Talk-to-ChatGPT 和 ChatGPT 語音閒聊，甚至教你使用 ElevenLabs 跟你自己的聲音對話。這個插件安裝好後會出現在右上角，點擊 START 你就可以和 ChatGPT 進行語音對話。不過有時你說話還沒結束，只是在想怎麼說或稍微停頓，它便自動送出了，因此它可能適合說話較流利的人。
二、假設一個場景，比如餐廳點餐、公司面試、同事討論特定工作項目、機場海關等，讓 ChatGPT 在該場景和你扮演特定角色進行對話。
下面的影片除了教你如何安裝外掛，同時示範了使用 Voice Control for ChatGPT 假設在書店的場景、讓它扮演書店店員進行對話。這個插件安裝好後會出現在熒幕下方，每次說話都要先點麥克風，說完再點一次送出，因此可能適合說話會停頓或需要想的人。
三、讓它給你一段電影/電視情節，練習其中的角色對話。
| 請提供一段電影”Finding Nemo” 的英語經典對話並在每一句後面提供中文翻譯，必要的時候用中文解釋和分析。 |
| 以下是電影《海底奇兵》（Finding Nemo）中的一些經典對話，附有中文翻譯： Marlin: “I promised I’d never let anything happen to him.” (Marlin：「我曾發誓決不讓任何事發生在他身上。」) 這句話表達了 Marlin 對兒子 Nemo 的保護慾望和責任感。 Dory: “Just keep swimming.” (Dory：「繼續遊下去。」) 這是 Dory 的口頭禪，鼓勵 Marlin 堅持下去，不要放棄。 Marlin: “You think you can do these things, but you just can’t, Nemo!” (Marlin：「你以為你可以做這些事情，但你做不到，Nemo！」) Marlin 對 Nemo 的過度保護導致他質疑兒子的能力和勇氣。 Dory: “When life gets you down, you know what you gotta do? Just keep swimming!” (Dory：「當生活讓你沮喪時，你知道該做什麼嗎？繼續遊下去！」) DOry 通過這句話再次強調堅持的重要性，無論遇到困難，都要繼續前進。 Crush: “Duuude, you gotta just let go! Everything’s gonna be all right.” (Crush：「兄弟，你必須放手！一切都會好的。」) Crush 是一隻海龜，他告訴 Marlin 要釋放控制和擔憂，相信一切都會好起來。 Nemo: “I’m not a fish. I’m a boy!” (Nemo：「我不是魚。我是個男孩！」) Nemo 想證明自己的能力和身份，不願被定義為一個弱小的魚。 Marlin: “I have to get out of here. I have to find my son.” (Marlin：「我必須離開這裡。我必須找到我的兒子。」) Marlin 發誓要離開安全的環境去找 Nemo ，這顯示了他作為父親的決心和堅持。 這些對話和情節在電影中傳遞出家庭、勇氣、堅持和相信的主題，同時也揭示了角色們的成長和互相幫助的重要性。 |
四、要它問你問題，並讓它糾正你的回答或給與建議。
| 請用英文向我提問，幫助我提高英語水平。我會用英語回答，請糾正我的語法錯誤。 |
| Of course! I’d be happy to help you improve your English skills. Here’s a question for you: “What are some popular tourist attractions in your country, and why do people visit them?” |
| Great wall of china. It’s made thousand years ago, it’s very long. People say you can see it from space. |
| That’s a good answer! Just a few small corrections: “The Great Wall of China was built thousands of years ago, and it stretches for a very long distance. Some people believe that it can be seen from space.” Well done! Keep up the good work! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. |
對話時注意 ChatGPT 的回答，學習它的用詞和語法，以此來提高聽力、口語、閱讀及寫作能力。你還可以讓它扮演角色，或者聊特定的話題。在下面的這個例子中（我嘗試了很多不同的 prompts, 這是效果比較好的一個），我讓 ChatGPT 扮演一位熱心的美國朋友來幫我提高英語水平，我故意犯了一些常見的錯誤，看她是否會幫我糾正。
| 請扮演一位熱心的美國姑娘，你的名字叫 Jane 。你今天的任務是幫助我提高我的英語水平。 請用英語主動與我聊天，我會用英語回答。 每次我說完之後，請糾正我所有的錯誤，提出改善建議，使其更符合美國人的用語習慣，並解釋原因，以便我能更好地理解。 在糾正完我的錯誤之後，請尋找話題，提一些具體的問題，以便我們的聊天可以繼續。 請注意，每次我說完之後，你都會檢查我的回答，糾正我所有的錯誤，改善我的回答，並解釋原因，這樣你才能更好地完成「幫助我提高英語水平」的任務。 如果你理解了所有的要求，請回答：”I understand. My mission today is to help you improve your English and I will try my best to help. And I’m Jane now.” |
| I understand. My mission today is to help you improve your English and I will try my best to help. And I’m Jane now. |
| 請從最常見的打招呼開始，比如天氣。 |
| Hi there! How’s the weather today? |
| it’s raining a few days. can’t go out. stay at home, watching movie and playing piano. |
| It has been raining for a few days, so you can’t go out. That’s a great opportunity to stay at home and enjoy indoor activities like watching movies and playing the piano. Correction: “It has been raining for a few days, so I can’t go out. I’m staying at home, watching movies, and playing the piano.” Improvement: “It has been raining for a few days, preventing me from going out. However, I’m making the most of my time at home by watching movies and playing the piano.” Great job! It’s good to engage in indoor activities during bad weather. By the way, what kind of movies do you enjoy watching? Do you have any favorite genres or actors/actresses? |
| I like true crime movies. they are intense. sometimes horrify but fascinated. do you know any good true crime movies? |
| I understand. True crime movies can be intense and fascinating. There are several great true crime movies that you might enjoy. Here are a few recommendations: “Zodiac” (2007) – Directed by David Fincher, this movie is based on the true story of the Zodiac Killer who terrorized the San Francisco Bay Area in the late 1960s and early 1970s. “Memories of Murder” (2003) – A South Korean film directed by Bong Joon-ho, it is based on the true story of the first serial murders in South Korea. “Monster” (2003) – This film stars Charlize Theron and is based on the true story of Aileen Wuornos, a prostitute turned serial killer. Remember to use present tense when discussing movies, as they are always available for viewing. Correction: “I like true crime movies. They are intense and sometimes horrifying, but they fascinate me. Do you know any good true crime movies?” Great job expressing your interest in true crime movies! Is there a particular true crime case that intrigues you, or do you have any other favorite movie genres? |
| I watch the zodiac movie many times la! Also read many reports. They didn’t solve it eventually, right? |
| That’s great to hear that you’ve watched the Zodiac movie multiple times and read many reports about the case. The Zodiac Killer case remains unsolved to this day. Despite extensive investigations and numerous suspects, the identity of the killer has never been definitively determined. The case continues to captivate people’s interest and remains one of the most notorious unsolved mysteries in American history. Correction: “I have watched the Zodiac movie many times and have also read many reports about it. They didn’t solve the case in the end, right?” It’s interesting to delve into unsolved mysteries like the Zodiac case. Is there any other true crime case that you find particularly intriguing or have studied extensively? |
當然，你也可以跟她聊一些更嚴肅的話題，比如 #metoo 。
| 請扮演一個美國的英語教師和好朋友，請用英文與我聊天，幫助我提高英語水平。我會用英語回答，請糾正我的錯誤，並改善我的回答，使其更符合美國人的習慣。我們可以從如今很多人在討論的 metoo 話題開始，請向我問一個問題。 |
| Sure, I’d be happy to play the role of an American English teacher and friend. Let’s start with a question related to the widely discussed topic of #MeToo. Question: What are your thoughts on the impact of the #MeToo movement on society? Please provide your answer in English, and I’ll be glad to help you improve it and make it more in line with American English conventions. |
| I think it revealed an ugly part of the world that has long been unseen. |
| Great start! Here’s a slightly revised version: “I believe the #MeToo movement has brought to light a disturbing aspect of society that remained hidden for a long time.” Remember to capitalize the first letter of the first word in a sentence, and avoid ending with “unseen” as it might sound incomplete. Instead, consider using “hidden” to convey the idea of something being concealed. |
| 請繼續提問和聊天 |
| Certainly! Let’s continue the conversation. Question: How do you think the #MeToo movement has impacted the way people view and discuss issues of sexual harassment and assault? Feel free to share your thoughts, and I’ll be here to provide feedback and suggestions to help you improve your English. |
閱讀理解及翻譯
一、要求 ChatGPT 解釋比較難的句子/文章或讓它以較簡單的方式改寫，這可以幫助提高閱讀理解能力，同時學習用簡單的方式，去解釋複雜的事情，ChatGPT 的回答也可以作為閱讀材料。若想要問近兩年的東西，除了將句子/文章貼在 ChatGPT 信息列上要求它解釋/翻譯，也可以使用搜尋模型，比如下面這個示例。

二、利用 GPT-4 的插件 Link Reader 讓它讀取特定網頁內容，甚至包括圖片中的文字或 PDF 文件，並解釋或翻譯， 比如下面這張來自 BYJU’s 的圖片。
| 讀取這個圖片上的文字，並提供中英文對照翻譯： https://cdn1.byjus.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/a-happy-child-poem-for-class-1.png |
| 這是圖片上的文字內容，並且我已經將其翻譯成中文： A Happy Child %（快樂的孩子 %） My house is red – a little house;（我的房子是紅色的 – 一个小房子;） A happy child am I:（我是一个快樂的孩子：） I laugh and play the whole day long,（我整天都在笑和玩，） I hardly ever cry.（我幾乎從不哭泣。） I have a tree, a green, green tree,（我有一棵樹，一棵綠色的樹，） To shade me from the sun;（可以遮擋我免受陽光的照射；） And under it I often sit,（我經常坐在它下面，） When all my play is done.（當我所有的遊戲都結束時。） 請注意，OCR 可能無法完全準確地識別圖片上的所有文字，特別是如果文字佈局複雜或字體難以識別。 |
三、讓它以特定口吻重寫任何內容並翻譯成中文。在下面的例子中，我用了 SummarizeAnything.ai 插件，它可以讀取油管視頻、網頁、及網上的 PDF 文件並做總結。
| 請讀取這段視頻內容 https://youtu.be/IOFlGPplHX8 ，然後以故事口吻用英文重寫並翻譯成繁體中文。 |
| The video is a news report about the frantic search for a missing submarine that was en route to tour the Titanic wreckage. The submarine was carrying five people. The US Coast Guard is trying to pinpoint the source of underwater sounds detected in the search zone. However, the situation is becoming critical as the oxygen supply for the submarine passengers is expected to run out by the next day. The report also features an interview with Michelle Turman, who has made the voyage to see the Titanic wreckage twice, albeit in a different vessel than the one operated by Ocean Gate. Turman was with two others in the sub, unlike Ocean Gate where there were five passengers. She shares her concerns about oxygen levels, temperatures, and the risks of going nearly 2.5 miles beneath the ocean surface. Despite the risks, Turman says she would absolutely do it again, describing the experience as overwhelming, humbling, and truly life-changing. According to Ocean Gate, at least 46 people have successfully made the voyage to the Titanic wreck site from 2021 to 2022. Here is the story in Chinese: 這段視頻是一則新聞報導，關於一艘前往泰坦尼克號殘骸進行遊覽的潛艇失踪，正在進行緊急搜尋。潛艇上載有五人。美國海岸警衛隊正在試圖確定搜索區域內檢測到的水下聲音的來源。然而，情況變得越來越危急，因為潛艇乘客的氧氣供應預計將在第二天耗盡。 報導還採訪了米歇爾·圖爾曼，她曾兩次前往泰坦尼克號殘骸進行遊覽，儘管她乘坐的船隻與 Ocean Gate 運營的船隻不同。圖爾曼在潛艇上與另外兩人一起，而 Ocean Gate 的潛艇上有五名乘客。她分享了她對氧氣水平、溫度以及下潛到海面下近 2.5 英里的風險的擔憂。儘管存在風險，圖爾曼說她絕對會再次嘗試，她形容這次經歷是令人震驚、謙卑並且真正改變生活的。 根據 Ocean Gate 的數據，至少有 46 人在 2021 年至 2022 年成功地前往泰坦尼克號殘骸進行了遊覽。 |
Plugin store 裡有幾個能總結視頻內容的插件，但似乎都不能直接將聲音轉文字，如果你想要完整的內容，可以安裝這個瀏覽器外掛 – YouTube & Article Summary powered by ChatGPT ，安裝好便可在視頻右邊看到它的完整腳本：
進入這個外掛的 User Settings，在 Prompt for Summary 下面可以更改你要 ChatGPT 做的事情，我輸入了 “Summarize the following in a story telling style and translate it to Traditional Chinese.”
回到視頻點擊腳本視窗上方的 ChatGPT 圖示，便會打開 ChatGPT 同時顯示整個腳本、以說故事的口吻總結視頻內容並翻譯成繁體中文。
| Summarize the following in a story telling style and translate it to Traditional Chinese. Title: “THE LATEST: Search for Titanic exploration sub reaching a critical point – YouTube” Transcript: “Now to the latest on the missing sub. The frantic search continues right now, but as more time passes, the more critical it becomes. Crews are still looking for the missing submarine carrying five people. It was in route to tour the Titanic wreckage. the US Coast Guard says crews are racing to pinpoint the source of underwater sounds detected in the search zone, though oxygen for the submarine passengers is expected to run out by tomorrow morning. But a woman knows exactly what it’s like to make the voyage to see the wreckage of the Titanic. Michelle Turman made the trip twice, but in a different vessel than the one operated by Ocean Gate. Turner was with two others in the sub, unlike Ocean Gate where there were five passengers. But she says the same concerns existed over oxygen temperatures and the risks of going of going nearly 2 1/2 miles beneath the ocean surface. I would tell you that after I did it, I would. Absolutely do it again. Even in light of what’s happening now, I probably would still do it. It’s a feeling that I’ll never forget. It is overwhelming. It’s humbling. It is something that is truly life changing. According to Ocean Gate, at least 46 people have successfully made the voyage to the Titanic wreck site from 2021 to 2022.” |
| Story Version: Once upon a time, in the deep blue sea, the clock was ticking anxiously for a lost submarine destined to discover the Titanic’s ghostly wreckage. With each passing moment, the situation grew increasingly critical. Within the confines of this deep-sea vessel were five brave explorers, each one acutely aware that time was not their ally. As the sub disappeared en route to the Titanic’s resting place, the US Coast Guard, along with other valiant crews, embarked on a desperate search. Their ears strained to detect the faintest sounds underwater, hints whispering of the submarine’s location. Yet, the chilling reality was that the sub’s oxygen reserves would be depleted by the dawn of the next day. Parallel to this unfolding drama, a woman named Michelle Turman, intimately familiar with the voyage to the Titanic’s grave, watched. Turman, having twice navigated the depths in a vessel other than the one owned by Ocean Gate, understood the dangers of such an adventure. Her vessel had only held three people, compared to the Ocean Gate’s five, but the risks remained the same: limited oxygen, frigid temperatures, and the hazardous journey nearly two and a half miles beneath the ocean surface. But the danger, she said, had never dampened her spirit. If given the chance, she would absolutely take the plunge again, even with the present events casting a grim shadow. The emotions she experienced during those trips – the overpowering awe, the humbling realization of humanity’s insignificance in the face of nature’s grandeur – were unforgettable. In her eyes, the voyage was not just an expedition, but a life-altering experience. And indeed, from 2021 to 2022, Ocean Gate attests that at least 46 individuals were able to stand in Turman’s shoes, successfully making the deep-sea journey to the spectral remnants of the Titanic. Traditional Chinese Translation: 從前，深藍的海洋中，一艘前往探索泰坦尼克號鬼魅殘骸的失蹤潛艇，其尋找行動正進入了關鍵時刻。隨著時間的流逝，情況越來越危急。這艘深海船上有五名勇敢的探險者，他們都深知時間不再是他們的盟友。當這艘潛艇在前往泰坦尼克號最終安息處的途中失蹤，美國海岸警衛隊與其他勇敢的船員展開了絕望的尋找。他們努力傾聽水下的微弱聲音，試圖找出潛艇的位置。然而，令人心寒的現實是，到第二天黎明，潛艇的氧氣儲量將會耗盡。 在這場劇變中，一名名叫米歇爾·圖爾曼的女性，對前往泰坦尼克號墳墓的旅程非常熟悉，她在一邊觀望著。 圖爾曼曾兩次乘坐非 Ocean Gate 所擁有的船只潛入深海，她對這種冒險的危險了如指掌。她的船只只有三個人，而 Ocean Gate 有五個，但風險仍然存在：有限的氧氣、嚴寒的溫度、以及接近兩個半英里深的海洋表面的危險旅程。 但她說，危險從未使她的精神打倒。如果有機會，她絕對會再次挺身而出，即使現在的事件投下了陰影。在那些旅程中她經歷的情緒——那種壓倒性的敬畏、面對大自然的宏偉認識到人類的渺小——是難以忘記的。在她眼中，這次航程不僅僅是一次遠征，而是一次改變生活的經歷。 的確，從 2021 年到 2022 年，Ocean Gate 證實至少有 46 個人能夠像圖爾曼一樣成功地進行深海旅行，前往泰坦尼克號的幽靈殘骸。 |
這個插件安裝好後，在你瀏覽網頁時還會顯示 ChatGPT 按鈕在網頁右下方，點擊它也會打開 ChatGPT，顯示該網頁內容，並提供你在插件的 User Settings 裡 Prompt for Summary 下面設定要 ChatGPT 做的事情。
文法、作文練習
一、問 ChatGPT 關於語法規則和用法的問題。
| 請教我英文過去完成時的規則和用法，並提供英文對話例句及中文翻譯。 |
| 過去完成時（Past Perfect Tense）用於描述過去某個時間之前已經發生或完成的動作或狀態。它由”had”（過去完成時的助動詞）加上動詞的過去分詞構成。以下是過去完成時的規則和用法以及一些例句和中文翻譯： 規則： 1. 肯定句結構：主語 + had + 過去分詞 例句：I had already finished my homework before dinner. 翻譯：晚飯前我已經完成了作業。 2. 否定句結構：主語 + had not + 過去分詞（或 hadn’t + 過去分詞）例句：She hadn’t seen that movie before. 翻譯：她之前沒有看過那部電影。 3. 疑問句結構：Had + 主語 + 過去分詞？例句：Had they arrived at the party when I called? 翻譯：當我打電話時，他們已經到達派對了嗎？ 用法： 1. 表示過去某個時間之前已經發生或完成的動作或狀態。例句：He had studied English for five years before he moved to the United States. 翻譯：在他搬到美國之前，他已經學習了五年英語。 2. 用於描述過去的時間順序，指明一個事件在另一個事件之前發生。例句：By the time we arrived, they had already left. 翻譯：當我們到達時，他們已經離開了。 3. 用於虛擬語氣，表示對過去某個事件的猜測或假設。例句：If I had known you were coming, I would have prepared dinner. 翻譯：如果我知道你要來，我會準備晚飯的。 4. 用於間接引語中，表示過去某個時間之前已經發生或完成的動作或狀態。例句：She said that she had already read the book. 翻譯：她說她已經讀過那本書了。 希望這些解釋和例句能夠幫助你理解過去完成時的規則和用法。如有任何其他問題，請隨時提問！ |
二、給它一個句子/作文/郵件，問它是否有更好的寫法，並讓它糾正其中的語法錯誤及解釋原因。
| 請檢查下面的英文內容，糾正錯誤、用中文解釋原因，並提供更好的英文寫法： Yesterday, I went to park for see birds. It was many birds. I had fun watching. Then I decided to feed them. It was a beautiful moment. |
| Yesterday, I went to the park to see birds. There were many birds there, and I had fun watching them. Then I decided to feed them, which created a beautiful moment. 改正後的英文內容： Yesterday, I went to the park to observe birds. There were numerous birds present, and I thoroughly enjoyed observing them. Subsequently, I made the decision to feed them, leading to a delightful and picturesque moment. 糾錯及解釋原因： 1. “for see birds” 應更正為”to see birds”，表示目的或意圖。 2. “It was many birds” 應更正為”There were many birds”，用”There were” 來描述存在的鳥類。 3. “I had fun watching” 可以保留，但也可以替換為”I thoroughly enjoyed observing”，以展示更多情感和參與度。 4. “Then I decided to feed them” 表達了動作的順序，沒有錯誤。 5. “It was a beautiful moment” 可以保留，但也可以進一步說明是因為餵鳥而產生的美好時刻。 更好的英文寫法： Yesterday, I visited the park with the intention of birdwatching. The park was teeming with a wide variety of birds, and I derived immense pleasure from observing their behavior and movements. Inspired by the captivating scene, I spontaneously decided to feed them, resulting in a truly enchanting and memorable experience. |

| Once upon a time in Virginia |
| Once upon a time in Virginia, nestled among rolling hills and lush greenery, there stood a quaint little town named Willowbrook. The townsfolk lived simple, peaceful lives, going about their daily routines with a sense of contentment. However, behind the town’s idyllic facade, an intriguing mystery was about to unravel. One sunny morning, as the townspeople gathered at the local café for their usual cups of steaming coffee, a peculiar letter arrived. It was addressed to the mayor of Willowbrook and bore a wax seal with an intricate emblem. The mayor, a curious and adventurous soul, opened the letter, revealing a handwritten message that sent shivers down his spine. The letter spoke of an ancient legend, hidden treasures, and a forgotten secret buried deep within the heart of Willowbrook. It promised untold riches and the power to change the town’s destiny forever. The mayor, his eyes gleaming with excitement, called for a town meeting to share the news with the eager citizens. Word spread like wildfire, and the residents of Willowbrook were consumed by a newfound sense of adventure. The once-quiet streets buzzed with anticipation as everyone embarked on a quest to unravel the mystery that had lain dormant for centuries. They gathered in the town square, forming teams, each equipped with a map and a clue to guide them. With hearts pounding and determination in their eyes, the townspeople ventured into the surrounding forests, their steps guided by the legends passed down through generations. As they delved deeper into the woods, obstacles and puzzles awaited them at every turn. Riddles carved into ancient trees and hidden symbols etched into moss-covered stones tested their wit and perseverance. But with each challenge conquered, their spirits soared, fueling their resolve to unearth the long-forgotten secret. [以下省略] |

| 當然可以，我很高興能幫助你提高你的英語水平。讓我們制定一個基於你時間和目標的詳細學習計劃。每天都要進行學習，以便在 3 個月內從初級提高到中級水平。 週一至週五（工作日） 1. 詞彙（15 分鐘）： 每天開始的時候，我將為你提供一份英語詞彙列表。包含單詞、含義和例句。這將有助於擴展你的詞彙量。 2. 閱讀（20 分鐘）： 閱讀簡單的英文短文或者新聞報導。我會提供一些資源。這不僅能幫助你理解單詞在上下文中的含義，還能讓你熟悉英語的語法和句子結構。 3. 聽力（10 分鐘）： 聽取英語對話或短篇故事，有助於提升你的理解能力並且適應各種口音。我會給你提供一些在線的聽力資源。 4. 寫作（10 分鐘）： 寫一些簡單的句子或者段落，這有助於你實踐和鞏固你學到的詞彙和語法。 5. 口語（5 分鐘）： 嘗試在課程結束時，用英語做一些簡單的自我介紹或描述你的日常生活。 週六和周日（週末） 週末的學習將更加輕鬆，你可以將其視為你所學內容的回顧和鞏固。 1. 複習（30 分鐘）： 複習一周的課程，看看是否有遺忘的詞彙或不理解的語法。 2. 看電影或聽音樂（30 分鐘）： 這將幫助你了解和學習日常生活中的英語表達。盡量選擇有英文字幕的電影或歌曲。 3. 每週一次的一對一在線課程（1 小時） 在這一小時的課程中，我們將專注於口語練習，並且可以解答你在學習過程中遇到的任何問題。 記住，這只是一個框架，我們可以根據你的進步和需要進行調整。學習新的語言需要時間和耐心，所以請不要灰心。你準備好開始了嗎？ |
| 請預測進度，並根據預測的進度每隔兩周微調一下學習安排 |
| 非常好，我很高興你這麼認真對待你的英語學習。我們的初步計劃將分為六個兩週階段，每個階段的目標都會微調，以反映你的進步和解決你可能遇到的問題。以下是我的預測： 階段 1：週 1 至週 2 目標：基礎詞彙建設和基本語法理解 微調：根據你的詞彙記憶能力和對語法的理解，我可能會調整你每天學習的新詞數量和語法複雜性。 階段 2：週 3 至週 4 目標：提高閱讀和寫作能力，開始簡單的聽力練習 微調：如果你在閱讀和寫作中遇到困難，我可能會降低閱讀材料的難度，或者給你更多的寫作練習。 階段 3：週 5 至週 6 目標：繼續提高詞彙量，開始更複雜的語法學習 微調：根據你的進步，我可能會提高你的閱讀材料的難度，並引入更複雜的語法結構。 階段 4：週 7 至週 8 目標：提高聽力理解能力，開始正式的口語練習 微調：如果你在聽力或口語練習中遇到困難，我可能會提供更多的資源或練習來幫助你。 階段 5：週 9 至週 10 目標：複雜語法的掌握，提高口語流利度 微調：根據你的需求，我可能會調整你的口語練習或提供更高級的語法學習。 階段 6：週 11 至週 12 目標：進行一次全面的複習，準備中級英語考試 微調：這個階段，我會根據你在復習中的弱點，提供具體的學習材料和練習。 這個計劃是可以根據你的實際情況進行調整的。如果你在任何階段感到困難，我們可以隨時進行調整以確保你的學習效果。讓我們一起開始這個旅程吧！ |
與 ChatGPT 對話，每打開一個 New chat，只要你不刪除它，你可以每天進去和它繼續該對話。比如上面的歷史情境游戲對話示例，我設定的是清朝，我可以每天進去和它往下玩，並且假設我長生不老，也許可以一直玩到今天以前。
又比如上面的製定學習計劃對話示例，我設定的學習時間是 3 個月（12 週），第一天你可以進去告訴它今天是學習的第一天，要它提供今天的閱讀學習內容，聽力的部分也可以要它提供內容，和上面說過的語音插件並用。第二天之後以此類推，到最後兩周復習時，可以讓它以某一天/週的材料出題測試你的學習成果。最後一天再做個總測驗看是否達成目標。
其實不管用以上何種方法，在每一次的練習之後，都可以讓 ChatGPT 就你每一次的練習內容出幾道題目，加強印象同時確認是否學會哦。 Happy Learning!
