■ 朋友考試考不好，我們同時也考不好，安慰朋友英文我們可以說 ：
(A) Join the club.
(B) Join the family.
(C) Join the team.

👉🏻LANGUAGE FOCUS 學習焦點
Join the club. 或 Welcome to the club. 字面上是「歡迎加入俱樂部」，不過，作為習慣表達，Join the club 的意思是「彼此彼此，同樣倒霉，別人也一樣不走運」，說得是「自己和對方處境相同」， 而且多用在倒楣的時候，帶著自我嘲諷意味。是比較熟的人用的口語。

[問]:請問EXERCISE 實戰演練為何the conditions 後面直接接形容詞，沒有be動詞在兩者之間~? 

[答]: 因為這是形容詞片語 “conducive to hail formation”，修飾前方名詞。
原句： … specific weather patterns has created the conditions conducive to hail formation.
 此句已經有動詞 has created … 不可以再有第二個動詞喔。 

這裡的文法觀念「形容詞片語」類似於關係代名詞省略的分詞∕形容詞片語，也歡迎參閱超級英語通系列的「句型英語通」的 Pattern 85(https://channelplus.ner.gov.tw/viewalllang/118) 喔。
