Now, let's begin today's episode with a noun and it is whereabouts.
现在，让我们以一个名词开始今天的节目，这个名词就是 “whereabouts”（行踪/位置）。
Whereabouts.
他的行踪……
We spell this W H E R E A B O U T S, all one word — whereabouts.
我们将其拼写为 “W H E R E A B O U T S”，整个单词就是 “whereabouts”（位置；所在之处）。
Whereabouts.
他的行踪……
Whereabouts is the location or place where someone or something is?
Whereabouts”指的是某人或某物的具体位置或所在之处。
Here's an example sentence, "The police have been unable to determine the whereabouts of the missing person."
这是一个例句：“警方一直无法确定失踪人员的下落。
So, if I'm picking someone up, I'll say to them, "I need to know your whereabouts.
所以，如果我要去接某个人，我会对他们说：“我需要知道你的位置。
Can you give me an idea of your whereabouts?
你能告诉我你现在的位置吗？
And then I can come and get you."
然后我就可以来接你了。
Or I might even ask them, "Whereabouts are you?
或者我甚至可以直接问他们：“你们现在在哪儿？
Whereabouts are you?
你现在在哪里？
I need to know your whereabouts."
我需要知道你的行踪。
So this is actually quite a common word in spoken English, at least.
至少在口语英语中，这个词其实相当常见。
Next on the list, we have another noun, and it is very easy ship.
列表中的下一个项目是一个名词，它的用法非常简单（即很容易被理解或使用）。
Ship.
船。
We spell this S H I P, ship.
我们把这个词拼写为“S H I P”，也就是“ship”（船）。
Now very important with the pronunciation of this word is to both get the short vowel /ɪ/ and a very clear consonant /p/,
现在，对于这个词的发音来说，非常重要的一点是既要发清短元音 /ɪ/，也要发清楚辅音 /p/。
/p/ — ship, ship.
/p/ — 船只，舰船。
Now, if you ever so slightly lengthen this vowel, which happens quite frequently with my students, if you lengthen it,
现在，如果你稍微把这个元音的发音时间拉长一点（这种情况在我的学生中相当常见），那么……
then it sounds like the animal sheep /ʃiːp/ , sheep.
那么这种动物听起来就像是绵羊（sheep /ʃiːp/）。
And they are two very different things.
这两者是完全不同的两回事。
A ship with a short /ɪ/ vowel is a large vessel that goes on the water.
一艘使用短元音 “/ɪ/” 的船，是一种用于水上运输的大型船舶。
It's a watercraft.
这是一种水上交通工具。
It's typically going to be transporting goods or people.
它的用途通常是运输货物或人员。
Now the difference between a ship and a boat, as far as I understand, is that a ship has boats on it.
据我理解，船和船（此处“boat”可能指小型船只）的区别在于：船身上会搭载其他船只。
So a ship will carry lifeboats.
因此，每艘船都会配备救生艇。
Because it's so large, it needs lifeboats to carry all the people on board the ship, should there be an emergency.
由于这艘船的体积非常大，因此在发生紧急情况时，需要使用救生艇来转移船上的所有人员。
Here's an example, "The cargo ship sailed across the vast ocean, carrying containers filled with valuable goods."
以下是一个例子：“这艘货轮穿越了广阔的海洋，船上装载着装满贵重货物的集装箱。
If you've been listening to me for a long time, you'll know, for a few years I worked and lived aboard a cruise ship.
如果你一直都在听我的话，那么你应该知道：有几年时间，我一直在一艘游轮上工作和生活。
That was good fun.
那真是非常有趣的一次经历。
A very thrilling adventure.
一段极其刺激的冒险经历。
Okay, next on the list is a verb and it is disorient.
好的，列表中的下一个词是一个动词，它的含义是“使迷失方向”（或“使困惑”）。
Disorient.
使人感到迷茫（或困惑）。
