各位親愛的聽眾朋友，這里是晨間7點檔“話說地道美語”，我是Juliet。非常高興與您在這美麗的清晨相見。新的一天的到來，我們將開始新的一課的學習。

【課堂熱身】

首先，let's have a review。在第十二課第一講中我們講到了let one's face fall 是某人自己使自己失望。

【今日課題詳解】

那么現在我想說“某人使得別人失望”“令別人大失所望”，還是要用到face和fall這2個單詞。這時候又怎么說呢？What's it? Please listen to my sentence:Mary made his face fall from head to toe because she wasn't at the party. Mary使得他極為失望,因為她沒有參加他的派對。在這個句子中，就是把let one's face fall中的使役動詞改成了另一個使役動詞：m-a-k-e，make，即：make one's face fall。It's similar to saying"make someone disappointed"。

Let's look at tow more sentences. 1 My daughter makes my face fall to make the same mistakes over and over. 我的女兒令我大失所望，因為她一而再，再而三的犯同樣的錯誤。2 My student made my face fall at not winning the first prize in the international ballet competition. 我的學生令我大失所望，因為她在國際芭蕾舞比賽中沒有獲得冠軍。

在第十二課第一講中，我們學習了因為某事而let one's face fall的4種說法，那么說因為某事make one's face fall同樣可以有4種說法。即：make one's face at/about doing (or not doing) something；make one's face at/about/in/by something；make one's face (not) to do something；make one's face fall of something。
