以下是網友們的幾個不同的意見：

1. The cake you are eating just fell on the ground.

2. The cake you're eating fell down just now.

3. 我覺得用fell down on the ground比較好喔!
The cake you're eating fell down on the ground.

4. "dropped" is better than "fell"
The cake you are eating just dropped on the ground.

5. The cake you are eating was just dropped on the floor.



我覺得大家的討論似乎都卡在【掉】這個字該怎麼翻譯上了

其實，簡單點說：

The cake you are eating was just on the ground.

就可以傳達【完整】的意思了

不需要被卡死在“掉“這個字上頭

中文有中文的語法，英文有英文的語法

並不需要一個蘿蔔一個坑地逐字逐字對照翻譯啦

所以，講話時不用過於拘泥於某些字詞上，除非這個字是關鍵字，少了它意思就不完整了。

還有剛剛那樣講，在口語是可以接受的

但是如果是寫文章的話，就要在【you】之前再加上一個【that】或【which】才合文法囉！

The cake that you are eating was just on the ground.

The cake which you are eating was just on the ground.

（你現在吃的蛋糕剛剛掉在地上喔）
