三、解答

1.multiply指「以倍數成長」，所以「九九乘法表」為multiplication table

2.沮喪的形容詞depressed，名詞depression

3.depression亦可用於「經濟蕭條」

4.緊張的tense = nervous，名詞tension（全名為nervous tension）

5.sober up 由酒醉中清醒，wake up由睡眠中清醒

6.順便另提一字「酒測」，並非〞alcohol test〞，而是〞sobriety〞

四、中文

A：我的內心七上八下的，我得喝杯酒，靜一靜！

B：還要喝？你才喝了一杯啊！

A：但是我心中焦慮不堪，再喝一杯就可以放鬆了！

B：你知道我的看法嗎？你以為喝酒可以解除麻煩，結果煩惱只會更多；你以為喝酒可以讓你感到堅強，其實它只會使你感到更軟弱；你以為喝酒可以讓你心情放鬆，結果你只會更沮喪！

A：但是我覺得好緊張喔！拜託啦！

B：你們酒喝多的人老是怪罪於外界的壓力，但其實就是上癮而不單是酒精或毒品上癮，都是體內已經起了化學反應作用所致，拜託你趕快醒醒吧！
