So, if you're listening to this following my normal release schedule, then we are very close to Christmas.
那么，如果你是按照我平时的发布计划来听这个内容的，那么我们现在离圣诞节已经非常接近了。
And for that reason, and because we've done 59 whole weeks of this podcast, I think it's time I had a little break.
正因如此，也因为我们已经连续播出了59周的这档播客节目，我觉得是时候稍微休息一下了。

So, please do sit back and enjoy today's episode as we kick it off with the verb throb, throb.
那么，请大家坐下来，好好享受今天的这一集吧。我们首先从动词 “throb” （跳动、悸动）开始讲起。
We spell this T H R O B.
我们把这个词拼写为“THROB”。
Throb.
跳动……
Throb.
跳动……
To throb is to produce a strong, regular beat.
跳动”指的是产生一种强烈且规律性的节奏（或脉动）。
So, if we say that parts of our body is throbbing, then it means that you mostly feel pain in a series of regular beats,
那么，如果我们说身体的某个部位在跳动（即有规律地疼痛），这意味着你感受到的是一种由连续、有规律的疼痛“节拍”所组成的疼痛感。
like you might say, "Oh, my head's throbbing."
你可以这样说：“哦，我的头疼得厉害。
And it means like with the rhythm
这意味着，就像在节奏方面一样……
of your heart or your pulse, you're feeling little surges of pain in this kind of regular beat with a regular rhythm,
无论是从你的心跳还是脉搏中都能感觉到：随着有规律的节奏，身体会周期性地出现一阵阵疼痛。
a throb.
一阵剧烈的疼痛感……
It doesn't necessarily always mean pain.
这并不一定总是意味着痛苦。
Sometimes your feet might ache.
有时候，你的脚可能会感到疼痛。
So, it's not that you're feeling the pain necessarily.
所以，并不一定意味着你真的感受到了那种痛苦。
Maybe you're just very aware of a pulse somewhere.
也许你只是非常清楚地感觉到身体某个部位在跳动（即有脉搏）。
So, if you've been on your feet all day and you finally sit down and the blood rushes to your feet,
那么，如果你一整天都站着，终于坐下来时，血液会涌向你的腿部……
you might feel the throb of your pulse in your feet.
你可能会感觉到自己的脉搏在脚部跳动。
But most of the time when someone's talking about something throbbing, then they're saying it's a bit painful in a rhythmical way.
但大多数情况下，当人们提到某样东西“跳动”时，他们的意思是这种感觉带有节奏感，并且会让人感到轻微的疼痛。
Here's an example sentence, "Her head throbbed with pain after a long day of work."
这是一个例句：“经过一整天的工作后，她的头痛得厉害。
Now, I am the queen of injuries.
现在，我简直成了“伤病女王”……
I've had so many injuries and incidents and accidents, probably because I've thrown myself around much more than the average person.
我遭遇过太多伤病、意外事故，可能是因为我比普通人更加频繁地参与各种高强度的活动（或运动）。
I'm the kind of person who also just gets on and tries to do things even though in my head I think,
我就是那种会直接开始尝试做某件事的人，尽管在心里我其实会想……
"Mmm, I should probably ask for help."
嗯，我或许应该寻求帮助。
Like trying to move an entire wardrobe by myself or trying to lift a huge box full of heavy ceramic tiles.
这就好比试图独自搬动整个衣柜，或者试图举起一个装满厚重陶瓷瓷砖的巨大箱子一样——根本不可能完成。
Even when the box says, "This requires two people to lift."
即使包装盒上写着“需要两个人共同协作才能将其抬起”，实际情况也往往如此。
I'll still try and do it by myself.
我还是会尝试自己完成这件事。
I remember, actually, in the summer, just gone, I was moving paving tiles, or paving slabs, we would call them.
我记得，就在去年夏天，我当时正在搬运那些用于铺路的瓷砖或铺路板（我们通常把它们叫做“铺路材料”）。
So, in the garden, these huge slabs that we use as paving.
在花园里，我们使用这些巨大的石板作为铺路材料。
They were piled up at the back of the garden and I wanted to lay some down in the garden to make a little path.
这些石头被堆放在花园的后面，我想把其中一些铺在花园里，用来铺设一条小路。
My partner didn't agree that this was something we should spend our time doing right now, but I had an idea,
我的伴侣并不认为我们现在应该把时间花在这件事上，但我有一个主意……
and I wasn't willing to let it go.
而我并不愿意放弃它。
