中文： 感官動詞「taste」（嚐起來）後面可以接「like」（像），再接上名詞或名詞片語（例如「fresh oranges」），用來描述某物的味道與什麼相似。這與「taste」後面直接接形容詞（例如「tastes sweet」）的用法不同。

中文： 在英語系國家中，使用「It sounds like...」（聽起來...）或「It looks like...」（看起來...）來做觀察性的陳述，是一種禮貌且委婉的方式，用以展現同理心並與他人建立連結，而不是做出突兀或強加的假設。
EN： The sentence 'We are!' is an ellipsis (shortened sentence) where the predicate adjective 'hungry' is omitted because it is understood from the previous speaker's question ('It sounds like you are all very hungry.'). This is very common in spoken English to avoid repetition.
中文： 「We are!」是一個省略句，其中省略了表語形容詞「hungry」，因為這在上一位說話者的問句（「聽起來你們都很餓。」）中已經很明確。這在英語口語中非常常見，用以避免重複。

你準備好了嗎？是的，我準備好了！
EN： The verb 'look' is a linking verb (copula) used to describe appearance. It is followed directly by an adjective (e.g., 'too good') to describe the subject ('Everything here').
