He kept changing channels on the remote.

Sharon: My mother got really annoyed with my father yesterday evening.
Heather: Why, did he complain about her cooking?
Sharon: Oh no, she's a great cook. It was when they were watching television.
Heather : Don't tell me he fell asleep in front of the television and started snoring.
Sharon: No, he does that sometimes but this was because he kept changing channels on the remote.
Heather: All men do that, it's one of their most annoying habits.
莎倫：昨天晚上，爸爸真令媽媽十分生氣。
希瑟：哦，是因為你爸爸說她做的飯菜不好吃嗎？
莎倫：啊，不是，媽媽做的飯菜很好吃。那是他們看電視時的事。
希瑟：你爸爸不是在電視機前睡著了，打起鼾來吧。
莎倫：不是。爸爸有時會這樣，但這次是因為他用遙控器不斷的轉(zhuǎn)臺。
希瑟：男人都是這樣的。那是他們非常惹人厭的習慣。
‘遙遠’英文是remote，He lives in a remote village即‘他住在一個偏遠村莊’。遙控器是remote control，常簡稱為remote，例如：Have you seen the remote (control) for the TV/garage door?（有沒有見過電視/車房門遙控器？）用遙控器轉(zhuǎn)電視臺，英文叫zap，例如：Would you stop zapping the channels!（別不斷轉(zhuǎn)電視臺好嗎？）因此，電視或錄像遙控器也叫zapper，例如：Hand me the zapper please（請把電視遙控器給我）。
叫人家別不斷轉(zhuǎn)臺，除了說stop changing/zapping channels，還可用flip字：Stop flipping channels please。Flip本來是指‘迅速翻閱’，例如He flipped through the book是‘他迅速翻閱了那本書一遍’引申解作‘轉(zhuǎn)電視臺’。叫人家固定看一個電視臺，則可以說：Stick to/with one channel。莎倫說：My mother got really annoyed with my father yesterday evening?，F(xiàn)在請讀者回答一個問題：yesterday evening可不可以改為last evening? Last是‘剛過去的’，例如‘去年’、‘上星期一’、‘昨晚’等是last year、last Monday、last night，但是，last evening卻很少人說，多說yesterday evening。 ‘昨天上午/下午’更只能說yesterday morning/afternoon，不能說last morning等。同樣，‘明年’，‘下星期一’等是next year、next Monday，但是，‘明天上午/下午/晚上’卻只能說tomorrow morning/afternoon/evening/night，例如I'll see him tomorrow morning（我明天上午會見到他）一語，不能改為next morning。
