All right, let's get started with the first real English expression that was used in our conversation.
好吧,让我们从我们在对话中使用的第一个真正的英语表达开始吧。
That was "to get out the door."
那就是“走出家门”的意思。
We could just say, "I leave the house every morning at 8:00 AM."
我们可以简单地这样说:“我每天早上8点离开家。
Boring.
无聊至极。
Or you could use this wonderful expression and you could say, "I need to get out the door every morning at 8 A.M."
或者,你可以使用这个很妙的表达方式,说:“我每天早上都需要在8点出门。
This kind of is implying that there's a little bit of urgency to getting out the door, going to your destination.
这其实是在暗示:你需要尽快出门,前往目的地。
In the conversation with Dan, I said, "I help Theo, our oldest son, to get out the door in the morning."
在与丹的谈话中,我说:“每天早上,我都会帮助我们的长子西奥走出家门。
Here I could have said, "I help Theo to leave to go to school in the morning," but I wanted to talk about that urgency.
在这里,我本可以这样说:“我每天早上都会帮西奥准备好上学所需的东西,然后送他去学校。”但我真正想表达的是那种紧迫感(即时间上的压力)。
If you have kids that need to go to school in the morning, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
如果你有孩子需要在早上上学,那么你就完全明白我在说什么了。
You got to get up, get your clothes on, make sure you have some breakfast, get everything in their backpack prepared,
你必须起床,穿上衣服,确保自己吃了早餐,然后把所有需要的东西都装进背包里准备好。
make sure that they have everything that they need.
确保他们拥有所需的一切。
There's kind of this snowball of energy that happens in the morning before you get out the door.
每天早上,在你出门之前,会有一种能量逐渐积累、像滚雪球一样不断增强的现象。
So that's the expression that was used to talk about this urgent leaving.
这就是用来描述这种紧急离开情况的表达方式。
What we're going to do now is I want you to see how it was used in the original conversation.
我们现在要做的就是,让你们看看这个工具在原始对话中是如何被使用的。
So we're going to watch that clip from the original conversation two times, and this way it can stick in your memory.
因此,我们会把那段原始对话中的视频片段看两遍,这样它就能更好地留在你的记忆中了。
You heard my explanation right now, and then you're about to see it in the real conversation as well.
你们现在已经听了我所做的解释,接下来在真实的对话中也会看到这一点的体现。
The more input that you have for an expression, especially if it's new to you, the more you'll be able to remember it.
对于一个表达式来说,你拥有的输入信息越多(尤其是当这个表达式对你来说还是新的时候),你就越容易记住它。
So let's watch that clip and see how it was used.
那么,我们就来看一下那个视频片段,看看它是如何被使用的。
I make some tea, we breakfast together, and I help our oldest get out the door with Dan.
我泡了些茶,我们一起吃早餐,然后我帮我们家最大的孩子(和丹一起)出门。
Dan: That could be a challenge.
丹:那可能会是个挑战。
Vanessa: I make some tea, we eat breakfast together, and I help our oldest get out the door with Dan.
瓦内萨:我会泡些茶,然后我们一起吃早餐。之后我会帮我们家最大的孩子(和丹一起)出门。
Dan: That could be a challenge.
丹:那可能会是个挑战。
Vanessa: The second real life English expression that was used in our conversation is this one "have to say."
瓦内莎:我们在谈话中使用的第二个真正来自英语日常表达的短语就是“have to say”(“不得不说”)。
Well, by itself this could mean several different things, but as a fixed expression, it has a very specific meaning.
嗯,单独来看这个词可能有多种不同的含义,但作为一个固定的短语(或表达方式),它具有非常明确的含义。
Take a look at this sample sentence.
看看这个例句吧。
"My cousin is a lawyer and I'm really interested to hear what she has to say about the new law being passed."
我的表姐是一名律师,我非常想听听她对这项新法律的看法。
Here we're talking about the insight that she can give on the new law because she is a lawyer,
这里我们讨论的是她作为律师对新法律所能提供的见解。
she knows more about how the law works than me.
她比我更了解法律的实际运作方式。
So I want to know her insight, that really in-depth knowledge that she has.
因此,我想了解她的见解,以及她所拥有的那些真正深入、系统的知识。
