常見的形容詞句型是「主詞 + be動詞 + 形容詞」
比如：He is funny. / She is honest.
但有時我們會看到 He is (just) being funny. / She is (just) being honest. 這樣的句子
這又是什麼意思呢？
「主詞 + be動詞 + being + 形容詞」的句型是用來指某人只是在此刻或過去的某一刻是那樣子
注意主詞後的 be 動詞要視時態而用 am, are, is 或過去的 was, were
像是有時朋友如果心情不好而說了些儍話
我們就可以說：You are being silly.
意思是他/她只是此刻儍，並非常態 (如果是常態就會說 You are silly. 了)
假如你想搞笑而做了一件事或說了自以為好笑的話
別人卻摸不著頭腦而問你：What did you do/say that for?
你可以說：I was just being funny. 意思是你剛才只是想搞笑
在解釋自己或他人的行為時，常會用到這樣的句型
比如你好心想幫別人，結果卻把事情搞砸了
就可以說：I was just being helpful. (我只是想幫忙而已)
有朋友或家人心情不好而講話較不客氣
可以說：She’s being cranky today. (她今天很易怒)
有人對你說了不禮貌的話或做了冒犯你的舉動
可以說：You are being rude! (你很沒禮貌！)
(意思是他此刻很沒禮貌。有別於說 You are rude. 指此人平常一向都沒禮貌)
有人正在鬧小孩子脾氣，可以對他說：You are being childish!
有人正在對你說謊，可以說：You are not being honest (with me).
或是有人今天行為異於平日，像是平常很活潑的小孩今天突然很怕生
就可以說：He is being shy today. / I don’t know why he is being shy today.
有別於 He is shy. (指他平常一向很害羞)
不過要特別注意的是，不是任何形容詞都可以用在這個句型
一些常態性的形容詞，不可能瞬時改變的，比如形容外觀的 tall, thin, pretty等形容詞
就不能用在這個句型
因此不能說出像 He is being tall. 或 I was being young. 這種句子
現在請大家想想看以下這些情況要如何運用這個句型來說出正確的句子：
1. 有人正在做出不理性的事或說出不理性的話。你要對他說？(reasonable)
2. 你認為對方昨天在處理某件事時不公平。你要對他說？(fair)
3. 你想知道對方此刻說的話是在開玩笑還是認真的。你要問他？(funny)
4. 別人問你昨天為何會做出那樣的蠢事。你可以說？(stupid)
5. 同事甲和乙並不熟，甲卻大方幫乙付了飲料錢。當乙向你質疑甲為何這麼做，懷疑甲是否別有用心時，你可對乙說？(generous)
解答：
1. You are not being reasonable. / You are being unreasonable.
2. You were not being fair.
3. Are you being funny?
4. I was being stupid.
5. He/She was (just) being generous.
比如：He is funny. / She is honest.
