About this episode

This episode discusses the difference between 'spicy' and 'hot' in English through a dialogue about ordering buffalo wings.

🎯 這集你會學到: ・spicy=辣 ・hot=燙/熱 ・mild=不辣/溫和 台灣人形容食物辣,常常脫口而出 so hot,但老外聽了只會想到「很燙」,完全 get 不到辣度。 這篇用一段台美朋友在運動酒吧吃美式辣雞翅(buffalo wings)的對話, 教你 spicy(辣)、hot(燙/熱)、mild(不辣)怎麼分清楚,搭配點餐辣度英文與逐字稿,下次點餐不再被誤會。 ▶ 完整逐字稿、重點單字、句型: https://mjenglishclass.com/daily-english/en-hot-vs-spicy ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🗣️ 情境對話 Dialogue 場景:Amy 和美國朋友 Kevin 在運動酒吧邊看比賽邊吃,點了一大盤 buffalo wings(辣雞翅),她咬一口就把辣說成了 hot。 Amy: I just bit into a buffalo wing — wow, it's so hot!

Hot just describes how warm something feels. (沒錯。hot 單純是在講溫度高低。) Amy: Got it. These wings are spicy, but they aren't actually hot. (了解了。這些雞翅是辣,但其實沒有很燙。) Kevin: That sauce looks incredibly spicy.
