太陽有浩劫，人類怎麼辦？‏

嘉玲最近去看了電影「太陽浩劫(Sunshine)」，故事描述我們的太陽發生了衰竭，而人類要去拯救它。她覺得這部電影很有想像力，於是寫了一封e-mail給郭老板，推薦他去看。你或許沒看過「太陽浩劫」，但是看看嘉玲怎麼掰吧！說不定郭老板會給她一個驚異大奇航哦！8億台幣。
推薦 → recommend
科幻(小說)電影 → science fiction film
1. 我推薦你去看一部很棒的科幻電影「太陽浩劫」，故事是關於我們的太陽。這句話，英文要怎麼掰？
I recommend that you should see a great science fiction film, "Sunshine", which is a story about our Sun.
[解析]： "recommend(推薦)"或"suggest(建議)"是個很容易被誤用的動詞。我們常對老外說：「我建議你去士林夜市。」
I suggest you to go to Shi-lin night market.
這句話老外聽起來有一點像是：我把你建議給士林夜市。
就好像「我把你推薦給史密斯教授。」是：I recommended you to Professor Smith.
所以，「我建議你去士林夜市。」的正確說法是：I suggest that you should go to Shi-lin night market.
垂死、衰竭的 → dying
人類 → mankind
2. 距離現在50年後，太陽在衰竭，因而不再提供人類生存所需要的能量與光。這句話，英文要怎麼掰？
In 50 years from now, the Sun is dying, providing no longer the energy and the light that mankind needs to survive.
[解析]：" dying"是形容詞，不是現在式的「正在死」。
社會、社區 → community
特遣隊 → mission
點燃 → ignite
3. 整個地球社會集合了資源，送出一個特遣隊到太空投炸彈來重新點燃太陽。這句話，英文要怎麼掰？
The entire global community pools its resources to send a mission into space to deliver a bomb to reignite the Sun.
[解析]："pool"最常用的是游泳池的意思，像是"swimming pool"。但做動詞時，是指「集合」大家的，就像是把大家的東西丟到一個大池子裡。比方說"Car pool is recommended."是說「停車位不夠，建議大家共乘前往。」
渴望 → desire
外太空 → outer space
4. 看完這部電影，我真渴望到深遠的外太空去旅行，如果我夠有錢的話。這句話，英文要怎麼掰？
After seeing this movie, I really desire to travel into the deep outer space if I am rich enough.
以下就是嘉玲寫給郭老闆的email:
