So, let's get started with today's items.
那么，让我们开始讨论今天的议题吧。
We have to start with a phrasal verb, and it is grow apart, to grow apart.
我们必须从一个短语动词开始，那就是 “grow apart”（逐渐疏远）。
Two words.
两个词。
We spell this G R O W, grow.
我们把这个词拼写为“G R O W”，意思是“成长”。
Apart, A P A R T.
另外，还有一句话：“A P A R T.
To grow apart.
逐渐疏远；变得越来越陌生。
If two people in a close relationship grow apart, or if they grow apart from each other, then they gradually become less close in that relationship,
如果处于亲密关系中的两个人逐渐疏远了，那么他们在这段关系中的亲密程度也会逐渐降低。
usually because they no longer have the same interests, or they don't want the same things anymore.
通常是因为他们的兴趣不再相同了，或者他们不再追求同样的东西了。
But often it's because we go to different places.
但往往是因为我们去了不同的地方。
So, for example, I had a couple of very good friends when I was younger, and we lived on the same street,
比如说，我年轻时有几个非常好的朋友，我们住在同一条街上。
so we saw each other all the time, even though we didn't go to the same schools.
所以我们经常能见到彼此，尽管我们不在同一所学校上学。
Once I moved, I only moved to
一旦我搬了家，我就只搬到了……
the next town, so we were still able to see each other a lot because it was just a bus ride away,
下一个城镇离我们这里很近，所以我们仍然可以经常见面——因为只需要坐公交车就能到达那里。
and that wasn't too much of an effort.
其实这并不需要花费太多力气。
But then I moved into the city to go to college and my friends did other things.
后来我搬到了城里去上大学，而我的朋友们则各自选择了不同的道路（即他们继续做着他们原本的事情）。
And so, we became separated in distance.
于是，我们因距离而彼此分离了。
And then I was busy with college, and I was doing, you know, other things that you do when you're a teenager,
之后我就忙于上大学了，同时也在做那些青少年时期会做的事情。
you start to, you know, form new social groups, explore new hobbies.
你会开始组建新的社交圈子，探索新的爱好。
And I was doing a lot of work at college as well.
我在大学期间也做了很多工作。
I was doing a part-time job to pay my way.
我做了一份兼职工作，以赚取生活费。
And so my friends and I didn't have much time for each other and we had very different lives,
因此，我和我的朋友们彼此之间相处的时间并不多，而且我们的生活也截然不同。
and very different interests.
以及截然不同的利益诉求。
And although we are still in touch all these years later, we have definitely grown apart.
尽管这么多年过去了我们仍然保持着联系，但我们之间的关系确实已经变得疏远了。
We're no longer close.
我们不再亲密无间了。
Here's an example sentence, "Over the years we gradually grew apart and lost touch with each other."
这是一个例句：“这些年来，我们逐渐疏远了，失去了联系。
So think about your life.
那么，好好想想你的人生吧。
Who have you grown apart from?
你与哪些人渐渐疏远了？
Is there someone that you used to be close to that you're not close to anymore for whatever reason?
有没有这样一个人：你曾经和他关系很亲密，但由于某些原因，现在却不再那么亲密了？
Okay, let's move on now to an idiom, and the idiom is to no avail, to no avail.
好的，我们现在来讨论一个习语——“to no avail”（毫无效果）。
Three words, to, T O.
三个字，就是“去”。
No, N O.
不，绝对不。
