Work wonders

那個明星真是一個美魔女,保養得宜,簡直20年如一日!相信的話,就真是太天真、太傻。Photoshop可以創造奇迹(work wonders),想幾靚,有幾靚!

Wonder可以解「奇迹」,常用work wonders或者do wonders指「有神奇效用、創造奇迹」,即是have a very good effect。例句:Photoshop is truly capable of working wonders. Don't believe everything you see on magazines.(Photoshop真的可以創造奇迹,不要相信你在雜誌看到的一切。)This essential oil has worked wonders for my sleep.(這種精油對我的睡眠有意想不到的療效。)

想描述某人「非常擅長對付某人/物」可以用to be a wonder with someone/something。例句:She is an amazing storyteller and a wonder with children of all ages.(她非常擅長講故事,與所有年齡的兒童相處得很好。)My grandmother is such a wonder with knitting. She once knitted me a huge car-shaped blanket.(我的祖母非常擅長編織,她曾經給我織了一張巨大的車形毛氈。)

簡單說someone is a wonder即是指「某人是奇才」,例如,Einstein is a wonder.(愛因斯坦是奇才。)
