我的名字是安娜，您现在正在收听《Your English Five a Day》节目的第29周、第5天的内容。
This is the series where we aim
这就是我们想要打造的系列作品。
to increase your active vocabulary by deep-diving into five items every day of the working week from Monday to Friday.
为了增加你的“主动词汇量”，请在工作日的每周一到周五期间，每天深入研究五个特定的词汇或表达方式。
So, let's start today's list with a phrasal verb, to sit out.
那么，让我们从今天要学习的短语动词“to sit out”开始吧。
To sit out.
选择不参与（某件事）。
And usually, we separate this and say we sit something out.
通常情况下，我们会把这两者分开处理，并表示某些内容会被暂时忽略（或不予考虑）。
Sit, we spell S I T.
坐下，我们把“sit”这个词拼写出来：S-I-T。
Out, OUT.
出去，出去！
So to sit something out.
也就是说，可以选择不将某项内容包含在内（即将其排除在外）。
If you sit something out, then it means you are not taking part in whatever it is.
如果你选择不参与某件事，那就意味着你不会参与到这件事中。
So, it's usually an activity, a game, or a dance.
通常，这是一种活动、一种游戏，或者一种舞蹈。
So, if I'm playing squash, like I regularly do, and I'm playing a social
那么，如果我像平时一样在打壁球，并且是在进行一场社交性质的比赛……
squash event where there are many matches,
一场壁球比赛活动，其中包含多场比赛。
many games, many rounds; I might decide after a few rounds that I'm quite tired and I need to have a rest.
很多游戏，很多轮次；也许在玩了几轮之后，我会发现自己已经非常累了，需要休息一下。
So when my coach says: "Anna jump on court two."
所以当我的教练说：“安娜，到二号场地去。”的时候……
I might say, "Actually coach, I'm going to sit this one out.
我可能会这样说：“其实，教练，这次我打算不参加比赛了。
Can I sit this round out?
这一轮的讨论我能帮大家把话题继续引下去吗？
Because I'm in need of a rest."
因为我需要休息一下。
So, to sit something out is to not take part.
因此，选择“不参与”某件事（即不参与该活动或过程）意味着自己不会参与其中。
Here's another example, "I don't enjoy dancing, so I think I'll just sit this one out."
再举一个例子：“我不喜欢跳舞，所以我想这次就干脆不参加了。
Okay, next on the list is the verb twist.
好的，列表上的下一个项目是动词变形（即动词词形的改变）。
Twist.
转折。
Now, I'm talking here specifically about an injury to twist.
现在，我在这里特别指的是一种与扭伤相关的伤害。
We spell it T W I S T.
我们把它拼写为“T W I S T”。
To twist is to injure a part of your body, usually a joint, or an ankle, or a knee.
扭伤”是指身体的某个部位受到损伤，最常见的部位是关节（如脚踝或膝盖）。
You might twist your wrist.
你可能会扭伤手腕。
These are the most common areas that you twist: wrist, ankles, knees.
这些是你最常扭伤的部位：手腕、脚踝和膝盖。
And it's when you are turning very suddenly and then you aggravate or upset or injure that joint,
就在你突然转向的时候，那个关节就会受到损伤或引发疼痛（甚至更严重的后果）。
either you've pulled or torn or inflamed a muscle or a ligament or something like that.
要么是你拉伤了肌肉、韧带，要么是它们出现了炎症之类的情况。
But to twist is to strain a joint through the act of twisting, which is why we say,
但是，“扭伤”实际上是指在扭转身体的过程中导致某个关节受到过度拉伸或损伤。因此我们才会这么说……
"It's a twist."
这真是个出乎意料的转折。
"I've twisted my ankle.
我的脚踝扭伤了。
I've twisted my wrist.
我的手腕扭伤了。
Oh, I twisted my knee last week.
哦，我上周扭伤了膝盖。
It was terribly painful."
那非常痛苦。
Here's an example sentence, "I twisted my ankle while playing basketball and had to sit out for the rest of the game."
这是一个例句：“我在打篮球时扭伤了脚踝，因此不得不在比赛剩余的时间里坐在场边休息。
Next on the list is an adjective.
列表中的下一个项目是一个形容词。
It's also slang and it's to describe yourself as being gutted.
这也是一种俚语，用来形容自己感到非常沮丧或心碎（即内心受到极大的打击）。
To be gutted.
真是太让人难过了……
