Regardless of whether the video comes from China 、 HongKong 、 Japan or American, you can easily find everything you want. The second reason is that there are too many various advertisements of all kinds. Although the copyright owners announce that their vip members don’t need to watch advertisements, they the members still watch many kinds of advertisements. Actually, at the video beginning,there is an advertisement which can be skip or manual fast forward. generally it’s fast forward. Because if you want to fast forward, you will fall into the trap of interface interaction.you can easiler click on the interface of advertisement, then you will be enforce to the advertisement website. when you are watching the program,you will see the advertisement at the rightcorner all time. If you think you can tolerate to this situation, there are even more extreme situation to you. you will see whole advertisement over you screen when you pause the video.If you watch some interesting you want to share with your friends,you may want to make a screenshot,but when you pause to make it, you ofter get a advertisement screenshot. And when you close the advertisement,the video will play automaticallya a .that cause you can’t get a right screenshot forever in the right timing. Last but not least, regarding to the people who go abroad, Like Japan, you can’t watch the lisensed videos through Chinese video platform or HongKong’s.even if you spend money you still can’t be permitted to watch their videos. a a a So The only way they can use is finding the piracy website. I feel so strange in this situation, because it make me feel the lincensed punish them who support the lincensed, on the contrary, the piracy rewards them who support the piracy. correct my English and tell me why ,then reply to the opinion

改正：

According to my observation, I think there are three reasons why users choose video piracy instead of licensed platforms.

First, piracy websites are very good at resource integration. Regardless of whether the video comes from China, Hong Kong, Japan, or America, you can easily find everything you want in one place.

Second, there are too many advertisements on licensed platforms. Although copyright owners claim that VIP members don’t need to watch ads, members still have to watch various kinds of advertisements. For example, at the beginning of a video, there’s usually an ad that you can skip or manually fast-forward — but when you try to fast-forward, you often click the ad interface by accident, which redirects you to the advertiser’s website. While you’re watching, ads also appear in the corner of the screen all the time.

If you think you can tolerate this, there are even worse situations: when you pause the video, the whole screen may be covered by ads. If you want to take a screenshot of an interesting scene to share with your friends, you’ll probably capture an ad instead. When you close the ad, the video automatically starts playing again, making it impossible to capture the right moment.

Last but not least, for people who live abroad — for example, in Japan — they can’t access Chinese or Hong Kong licensed video platforms. Even if they’re willing to pay, they’re still not allowed to watch those videos.

So the only option left is to find a piracy website.

I find this situation very strange, because it feels as if the licensed platforms punish those who support them, while piracy websites reward those who don’t.

文法：

Quite a Distance

quite 加上 a/an 後面接名詞或名詞片語，是用來強調數量大或程度高，這是一個固定的、非常常見的慣用法。

Distance 的可數性

distance (距離) 這個詞在英文中，既可以是**不可數名詞 (Uncountable Noun)，也可以是可數名詞 (Countable Noun)**，取決於語境：

在 quite a distance 這個固定片語中，distance 指的是「一段（很長）的距離」或「一段路程」，所以它是作為可數名詞使用。

如果 quite 修飾不可數名詞 (Uncountable Nouns)，那麼你不需要在中間加上冠詞 **a/an**。

them those

文章中有兩句說話：

• the licensed platforms punish them who support them （x）

• the licensed platforms punish those who support them （v）

為什麼吖？因為關係子句嘅限制吖吖吖。

在標準英文中，只有指示代詞 (Demonstrative Pronoun) 才能被關係子句所修飾。而 them 是一個**人稱代詞 (Personal Pronoun)**。

1. 錯誤的結構：them who...

• 主句部分： The licensed platforms punish **them** (主語 - 動詞 - 賓語)
  • them 作 punish 的賓語，這本身沒錯。
• 關係子句： who support them
  • who 是關係代詞，修飾前面的 them，用來定義是哪一群人。
• 文法規則： 人稱代詞 (I, he, she, we, they, me, him, her, us, them) 在現代英文中，不能被關係子句 (who...) 直接修飾。

❌ 不標準/錯誤的說法: I see them who are running. (我看到那群正在跑的人。)

2. 正確的結構：those who...

• 主句部分： The licensed platforms punish **those** (主語 - 動詞 - 賓語)
  • those 在這裡作 punish 的賓語，意思就是 “那些人“。
• 關係子句： who support them
  • who 是關係代詞，修飾前面的 those，定義是哪一群人。
• 文法規則： 指示代詞 (this, that, these, those) 可以被關係子句直接修飾。

✅ 標準的說法: I see those who are running. (我看到那群正在跑的人。)

總結來說：

雖然 them 和 those 在你的句子中都扮演了賓語 (Object) 的角色，但是：

因此，在表達 “那些…的人“ (the people who…) 時，標準的英文結構永遠是：

Those who…

regardless of

fast-forward

用法示例

1. 作動詞

• I usually fast-forward through the ads.
• She fast-forwarded the boring part of the movie.

1. 作名詞（少用）

• Press the fast-forward button.
• There’s a fast-forward feature on this app.

🔹 關於 “manually fast-forward”

• 呢度嘅 manually 係副詞，用嚟修飾動詞 fast-forward，意思係「手動快進」。

• 完整句例：

  At the beginning of a video, there’s usually an ad that you can skip or manually fast-forward.

• 可以理解成兩個選項：

  1. Skip（跳過）
  2. Manually fast-forward（自己手動快進，而唔係自動快進）
