post/give notice 張貼告示
at short notice 在短時間內,接到通知後馬上...比如：at [on] ten days' [a month's] notice 以十天 [一個月] 的預告
注意到的意思 observe VS notice 的差異有點 tricky呢,看看這些：
We observed/noticed him enter the park.我們看到他進入公園
I observed/noticed a stranger entering the gate.我看到一位陌生人進入大門
He was observed entering the park - They was watching to see if/when he would enter the gate.
A stranger was observed entering the gate - We expected to see him enter the gate.
VS:
We were in the park jogging when we noticed a guy enter.
I was passing by when I noticed him enter the gate.
重要的是英文的含義,observe 是強調 watch,monitor 觀察的意思,notice 是強調 catch sight of,spot,順便看到,注意到的意思.口語裡都可以用,差異不大.
