在語言表達中,如果你一直用一個詞來表達一個意思,
而不是以别近義詞替換,你的話聽起來就很有重複感,
容易讓人覺得無聊。或者像藍醬這樣,
讓華生覺得它水平有限,或是詞彙量不足。
所以,拓展詞彙量,學習更多不同的表達方式,
對你練就一口地道英語就顯得很重要。
今天,華生就來跟你說說“通常”除了
“usually”之外的9種說法,
看看能不能使你的英語表達有所提高吧。

Ninety percent of the time, I make it to work on time.
(我八成時間都準時上班)
Nine times out of ten, I take the same bus to get there.
