法語篇#2 太陽王路易十四
Louis XIV - 路易十四
Le Roi Soleil - 太陽王 (路易十四的稱號)
Les chaussures à talons - 高踭鞋
Le parfum - 香水
Le Louvre/Musée du Louvre - 羅浮宮
La Joconde - 蒙娜麗莎 (法語名稱)
La Vénus de Milo - 米洛的維納斯
La Victoire de Samothrace - 勝利女神像
Le Château de Versailles - 凡爾賽宮
La Galerie des Glaces – (凡爾賽宮內的)鏡廳
法語，作爲歐洲語言的其中一個特點，是每一個名詞都可以分爲男或女，或稱爲陽性和陰性。例如法國和中國是陰性的名詞，前面需要用la；加拿大是陽性的名詞，需要用le。如果像澳洲，以A這樣的元音開頭，便不能說la Australie，而需要連在一起，説成l’Australie，寫法是l加一撇。
大家常聽到的一句“C'est la vie”，因爲人生vie在法文是陰性，所以前面會加la。字面的意思是這就是人生，但其實更加像我們中文裏面説的人生不如意事十常八九，你還是接受吧，所以用這句的時候通常都是有些不好的事情發生了。。

打999用語 What You Might Be Asked When You Call 999
The operator (操作員) may ask:
Which emergency service do you require? 你需要哪種緊急服務？
● Fire service 消防
● Police 警察

If I remember correctly, in the US, the operator would say this:
“911, what’s your emergency?”
How to Describe Your Emergency

911 and 112 numbers are recognized worldwide as emergency numbers. They should be able to redirect your call.
