hi everybody welcome back to ask alicia

the weekly series where you ask me

questions and i answer them maybe let's

get to your first question this week

first question this week comes from

tasnim hi tasneem taz name says what are

the differences between to show and to

display nice question okay to show and

to display let's start with to show we

use to show when we want to give visual

information to someone else so for

example you have something on your phone

and you want to share it with someone

else you can say hey let me show this to

you it's on my phone or when you want to

give someone physical information on a

piece of paper you could say let me show

you this information so the idea with

show is that you're giving someone

visual information you're providing them

with something

on a piece of paper or on your phone

whatever you want to share that with

them we use show to express that

to display however refers in most cases

to putting something for example on a

sign or on a billboard or on some other

kind of like announcement board where

people can look at it but there's not

one person going around showing each

person the information right to display

something means simply to put something

out for people to look at for example

you probably see lots of mannequins so

those bodies of people in front of store

windows that are wearing the clothes on

sale in the store we could say the

clothes are on display or the store is

displaying their clothes in the window

so we would not say show in that case

rather the clothes are being displayed

so it's not that there's a sales person

that's there in front of the store

saying look at this or look at that

maybe when you go inside the store the

salesperson will show you some clothes

yes but that's a key difference here

between show and display when someone is

giving you something to look at and says

what do you think you know that kind of

thing we can understand that as them

showing us something display just refers

to something being available for you to

look at to read to check whatever so i

hope that this helps you understand the

differences between show and display

thanks very much for an interesting

question okay let's go to our next

question next question comes from

zakaria hi zakaria zakaria says hey

alicia i'm from morocco i enjoy

following your channel i want to know

the difference between sympathy and

empathy thank you sure great question

sympathy and empathy very very closely

related

sympathy means that you

and another person have had similar

experiences and you understand their

experience so for example let's imagine

you have had the experience of losing a

loved one like a loved one someone you

care about has passed away

and your friend recently also lost a

loved one someone that they care about

you can say that you experience sympathy

you have had the same experience and so

you understand each other's emotions a

little bit we call that sympathy

empathy on the other hand is when one

person has had an experience but another

person has not had that experience

regardless you can at least imagine the

things that the other people are going

through so for example if i maybe lost

my job or something like that something

negative happened to me and my friend

has not had that experience but they

want to try to comfort me we could

describe that feeling as empathy so

although they cannot understand what i'm

experiencing they're at least trying to

be supportive or they're trying to show

that they want to comfort me or help in

some way so they're trying to understand

that experience that i'm having and

trying to be supportive that is empathy

so that's the difference here when two

people or more have the same shared

experience or similar experience it's

sympathy we refer to that as sympathy

when one person has an experience and

the other person does not have that

experience but they try to understand

one another that's empathy so for

example if someone passes away you might

write a message that says you have my

sympathies or with empathy we might use

it in a verb form a little bit more

often than as a noun so you might see

something like oh my gosh that sounds

like a terrible experience i haven't had

that experience but i can at least try

to empathize with you so that means i

can try to understand what you're going

through so i hope that this helps you

understand the differences between

sympathy and empathy thanks very much

for the question okay let's move on to

your next question next question comes

from monica hi monica monica says hi

alicia amend versus adjust what is the

difference very nice question amend

versus adjust there's a very simple and

easy way to understand the difference

here amend means to add something on to

something that already existed like a

contract so if you have a contract in

this example and you decide later ah i

need to add something to this contract

you describe that with amend for example

i amended my contract or we amended the

agreement or let's amend our meeting

notes so when you want to add something

in an official way you use the verb

amend to do that to amend something

means to add something after the fact

usually in an official way you might

also hear this verb used when you're

talking about fixing relationships with

someone like you might hear the

expression to make amends with someone

that means you fix a relationship with

someone after you have a fight or a

disagreement so you might hear it in

this way too to make amends is usually

the expression it's used in okay now

let's compare this verb use of amend to

adjust to adjust something means to make

a change to something so again just as

with the agreement or the contract we

talked about before if you finish the

agreement or you finish the contract and

later you realize oh we need to make a

change you can say i need to adjust or i

adjusted my contract this means you did

not add something new maybe you changed

some words or you made a slightly

different agreement you can use adjust

to talk about that again we tend to use

adjust in a little bit more formal or

polite situations so a contract or

agreement discussion would be a perfect

situation for this so that is the key

difference amend means to add something

new to something that you already had

and to adjust means to make a change to

something that you already have so i

hope this helps you thanks for the

question okay let's move on to your next

question next question comes from

johannes from armenia hello johannes

johannes says hi alicia what's the

difference between figure out and find

out

okay figure out versus find out let's

talk about figure out first to figure

out means to discover something or to

solve something like a puzzle or maybe a

crime or some kind of difficult

situation you figured out a secret maybe

so a good example of this is like a

crime or a police tv show where they

have to solve a mystery right so they do

lots of research they talk to people

they do interviews and maybe at the end

of the show they figure out

the person who did it they find the

criminal so to figure something out

refers to doing research and working

really hard to discover something new

to find out on the other hand generally

doesn't have this feeling of solving a

puzzle

yes you can use it when you're referring

to doing lots of work or doing lots of

research about something for example a

kid might say my parents found out i

left the house last night i'm in such

big trouble so found out is the past

tense of find out it also means discover

but it doesn't have that feeling of

doing lots of research or doing lots of

work or trying to solve something for a

long time it could be just that a person

realized something in a moment or it

could be that just over a few

interactions they realized something on

their own it doesn't have that same

feeling of trying to solve a situation

as figure out so maybe that's kind of a

good guide like you can use figure out

when you want to emphasize really trying

to solve something like a puzzle or a

mystery and find out is kind of more

like realizing something quickly in a

moment or just because somebody maybe

told a lie or something like that so i

hope that this helps you understand the

differences between figure out and find

out thanks very much for the question

okay let's move on to your next question

next question comes from andres leyva

hello andres andre says hi alicia

greetings from mexico city i have heard

in songs phrases like the most loneliest

day and bestest person is this correct

also is this a common thing to use in

english thanks great question yeah these

are grammatically incorrect yes but we

love to use these kinds of expressions

because it sounds sort of cute for

example when you said like the most

bestest person when we use these

grammatically incorrect statements it

sounds sort of cute like a little kid

that's still trying to study english or

they're still learning the correct way

to use english when we use these

grammatically incorrect forms on purpose

we do it to seem a little bit more

childlike a little more fun to show that

we have a close and happy and fun

relationship with the other person when

you use something like the most

loneliest day it also has that feeling

of kind of cute but in this case because

it's sad they might be trying to give a

sense of innocence perhaps i'm not

exactly sure what the context was for

this quote but that could be one of the

reasons that they chose to use this

grammatically incorrect pattern

if you want to use this you totally can

but it is kind of used in some set

phrases like the most bestest is a great

example of this when you really want to

emphasize that something is really great

or maybe not so great i suppose you can

intentionally use incorrect grammar so

in those cases that means you use most

plus a long adjective plus s like the

most beautifulest for example it sounds

really silly and it's grammatically

correct but someone might use that as a

way to emphasize something and to show

that they're kind of casual and

childlike so i hope that this answers

your question thanks for an interesting

one okay that is everything that i have

大家好，欢迎回来询问艾丽西亚

您问我的每周系列

问题，我回答他们 也许让

我们来回答你本周的第一个

问题 本周第一个问题来自

tasnim 嗨 tasneem taz name 说

显示和显示之间有什么区别

nice question OK to show and

to display 让我们开始向我们展示

用于显示我们何时想

向其他人提供视觉信息，

例如，您的手机上有一些东西，

并且您想与其他

人分享您可以说嘿让我给

您看它在我的手机上或当您想要时

在一张纸上给某人物理信息

你可以说让我给

你看这个信息所以展示的想法

是你给某人

视觉信息你给他们提供了一些东西

在一张纸或您的手机上，

无论您想与他们分享什么，

我们都使用 show 来表达

要展示的内容，但在大多数情况下是

指将某些东西放在例如

标志、广告牌或其他

类似的东西上 公告板，

人们可以看到它，但没有

一个人四处走动，向每个

人展示信息 展示

某物的权利意味着简单地将某物展示

给人们看 例如，

您可能会看到很多人体模型，所以

前面的那些人的身体 商店

橱窗里穿着商店打折的衣服，

我们可以说

衣服正在展示，或者商店

正在橱窗里展示他们的衣服，

所以在这种情况下我们不会说展示，

而是衣服正在展示，

所以不是这样 有一个销售

人员在商店前面

说看这个或看那个

也许当你进入商店时

销售人员会给你一些衣服

是的，但那是

show 和 display 之间的一个关键区别是当有人

给你一些东西看并且说

你认为你知道那种

事情我们可以理解当他们

向我们展示一些东西时 display 只是

指一些东西可供你

看 阅读以检查任何内容，因此我

希望这可以帮助您理解

show 和 display 之间的区别

非常感谢一个有趣的

问题 好的，让我们转到下一个

问题 下一个问题来自

zakaria 嗨 zakaria zakaria 说嘿，艾丽西亚，

我来自摩洛哥 喜欢

关注你的频道 我想知道

同情和同理心之间的区别

谢谢你确定很好的问题

同理心和同理心非常密切相关的同理心

意味着你

和另一个人有相似的

经历并且你了解他们的

经历所以例如让我们想象

你有 失去亲人的经历

就像你在乎的亲人

已经过去了

，你的朋友也离开了 也

不会失去亲人 他们关心的人

你可以说你经历过同情

你也有过同样的经历 所以

你们稍微了解对方的情绪

我们称之为同情

同情另一方面是当一个

人有 经验，但另一个

人没有那种经验，

不管你至少可以想象

其他人正在经历的事情，

例如，如果我可能失去

工作或类似的

事情发生在我身上，而我的朋友

没有这种经历 但他们

想安慰我，我们可以

将这种感觉描述为同理心，所以

尽管他们无法理解我的

经历，但他们至少

试图支持我，或者他们试图

表明他们想要安慰我或帮助我

以某种方式，他们试图

理解我所拥有的经验并

试图支持这是同理心，

所以当两个

或更多人有相同的 sh 时，这就是这里的区别

当一个人有经验

而另一个人没有这种

经验但他们试图

相互理解时，我们将其称为同情，这就是同情，

例如，如果有人去世，您可能会

写一条消息： 说你有我的

同情或同情，我们可能会

更频繁地以动词形式使用它而

不是用作名词，所以你可能会

看到类似 oh my gosh 之类的东西，这听起来

像是一次可怕的经历，我没有

那种经历，但我可以 至少

试着同情你，这意味着我

可以试着理解你正在经历的事情

，所以我希望这能帮助你

理解

同情和同情之间的区别非常

感谢这个问题好吧让我们继续

你的下一个问题 问题

来自莫妮卡你好莫妮卡莫妮卡说你好

艾丽西亚修正与调整有什么

区别非常好的问题修正

与调整有一个非常简单易行的

方法 忍受这里的区别

修改意味着在已经存在的东西上添加一些

东西，比如

合同，所以如果你在

这个例子中有一个合同，你稍后决定啊，我

需要在这个合同中添加一些东西，

你描述了修改，例如

我修改了我的 合同，或者我们修改了

协议，或者让我们修改我们的会议

记录，所以当你想以正式的方式添加一些东西时

，你可以使用动词

amend 来修改一些东西

意味着在事后添加一些东西

通常以官方的方式你也可能

听到 这个动词在您

谈论与

像您这样的人修复关系时使用，可能

会听到与某人补偿的表达，

这意味着您

在发生争执或分歧后修复与某人的关系，

因此您也可能

以这种方式听到它 make amends 通常

是它在 OK 中使用的表达方式，现在

让我们比较一下 amend 的动词用法来

调整以调整某事意味着对某

事进行更改

与我们之前讨论过的协议或合同

如果您完成

协议或完成合同

然后您意识到哦我们需要进行

更改您可以说我需要调整或我

调整了我的合同这意味着您

没有添加任何内容 新的，也许你改变了

一些词，或者你达成了一个稍微

不同的协议，你可以

再次使用adjust来谈论这个我们倾向于

在更正式或

礼貌的情况下使用adjust，所以合同或

协议讨论将是一个完美的

情况，所以 这是关键的

区别，修改意味着在

你已经拥有的东西上添加一些新的东西，

而调整意味着对

你已经拥有的东西做出改变，所以我

希望这对你有帮助，谢谢你的

问题，好吧，让我们继续你的下一个

问题 问题

来自亚美尼亚的 johannes 你好 johannes

johannes 说你好 alicia

找出和找出

好 找出和找出让我们

谈谈 fi 有什么区别 gure out first to figure

out 发现某事

或解决某事的方法，例如谜题、

犯罪或某种困难的

情况，你发现了一个秘密

，这就是一个很好的例子，比如

犯罪或警察电视节目，他们在哪里

必须解决一个谜，所以他们

做了大量的研究，他们与人交谈，

他们进行采访，也许在

节目结束时，他们找出

做这件事的人，他们找到了

罪犯，所以找出一些事情

是指做研究和工作

真的很难发现新的东西

，另一方面，通常

不会有解决

难题的

感觉 可能会说我的父母发现我

昨晚离开了房子我

遇到了很大的麻烦所以发现是发现的过去

式它也意味着发现

但它没有那种

做大量研究或做很多事情的感觉

工作或长时间尝试解决某事

可能只是一个人

在一瞬间意识到某事，也

可能只是通过几次

互动他们自己意识到某事

并没有相同

的尝试感觉 解决一个问题

，所以也许这是一个

很好的指南，

当你想强调真正

尝试解决像谜题或谜团这样的事情时，你可以使用它，

而发现

更像是在一瞬间快速意识到某事

或者只是因为有人可能

撒了谎或类似的事情，所以我

希望这能帮助你理解

弄清楚和找出之间的区别

非常感谢这个问题

好吧让我们继续你的下一个问题

下一个问题来自安德烈斯莱瓦

你好安德烈斯 安德烈说你好，

来自墨西哥城的艾丽西亚问候，我

在歌曲中听到过像最孤独的

一天和最好的人这样的短语，这是

正确的，这在英语中是常用的

吗？ 汉克斯很好的问题是的，这些

在语法上是不正确的，是的，但我们

喜欢使用这些表达方式，

因为它听起来有点可爱，

例如当你说像最

优秀的人时，当我们使用这些

语法不正确的陈述时，

听起来有点像小孩一样可爱

他们仍在努力学习英语，或者

他们仍在学习正确的

英语使用方式 当我们故意使用这些

语法错误的形式时

当

您使用最

孤独的一天之类的东西时，与他人建立有趣的关系，它也有

一种可爱的感觉，但在这种情况下，因为

很伤心，他们可能试图给人一种

纯真感，也许我

不确定是什么 上下文是针对

这句话的，但这可能

是他们选择使用这种语法错误模式的原因之一，

如果你想使用它，你完全可以，

但我 s 用在一些固定

短语中，比如 most bestest 就是一个很好的

例子，当你真的想

强调某件事真的

很棒或者可能不太好时，我想你可以

故意使用不正确的语法，所以

在这些情况下，这意味着你使用 most

plus 一个长形容词 plus s like the

most beautifulest 例如，这听起来

很傻，语法上是

正确的，但有人可能会用它

来强调某事并

表明他们有点随意和

孩子气，所以我希望这个答案

你的问题感谢一个有趣的问题，
