Let's
我们开始吧！
break this down.
请把这个问题详细解释一下。
I have means I possess, own, or hold.
我拥有一些财产或资源，这些财产或资源属于我本人或由我掌控。
Thing in this context means a thought or possibility.
在这种情况下，“thing”指的是一个想法或一种可能性。
So when she says I have this thing, she means that she has a thought about something.
所以当她说“我有个想法”时，她的意思是她对某件事有了一个具体的想法或看法。
It's also a common expression to say the thing is, which is used to introduce an explanation or excuse.
这也是一个常用的表达方式，用来引出某种解释或借口。
For instance, the thing is, we love each other.
比如说，我们彼此相爱。
Wise means having or showing experience, knowledge, and good judgment.
Wise”（明智的）意味着拥有或表现出丰富的经验、渊博的知识以及良好的判断力。
Wise -er is the comparative form of wise.
Wise-er”是“wise”的比较级形式。
It's in this form because she's comparing her past self with her present self.
之所以呈现这种形式，是因为她在将自己的过去与现在进行对比。
Single -syllable comparative adjectives typically end in ER, and are used to compare two of people, ideas,
单音节比较级形容词通常以“-er”结尾，用于比较两个人或两个事物（如想法、情况等）。
or things.
或者诸如此类的东西。
It is common to say the older you get, the wiser you get, meaning, as you get older,
人们常说：“人越老，越聪明。”也就是说，随着年龄的增长，人们的智慧和经验也会逐渐增加。
you will gain more knowledge and experience which transforms into wisdom.
你会获得更多的知识和经验，而这些知识和经验最终会转化为智慧。
So in this line, Taylor is saying that she is afraid that she is getting older, but not wiser.
在这句话中，泰勒表达了自己对年龄增长的担忧——她害怕自己只是变老了，并没有变得更聪明。
Midnight is another way to say 12 o 'clock at night.
Midnight”也可以用来表示“夜晚的12点”。
For instance, I stayed up past midnight last night reading.
例如，昨晚我熬夜到午夜以后还在读书。
The opposite of midnight is midday or noon.
午夜的对立时间是正午（midday）。
So here, Taylor is saying because she is staying up all night, midnight feels like it's the afternoon for her.
所以在这里，泰勒表示：因为她整晚都醒着，所以对她来说，午夜就像下午一样。
Depression is an illness where you have constant sadness and no interest in activities that once brought you pleasure.
抑郁症是一种疾病，患者会持续感到悲伤，并且对那些曾经能给他们带来快乐的活动失去兴趣。
If you notice, your friend is very sad and not interested in doing any fun activities anymore.
如果你注意到了的话，你的朋友看起来非常沮丧，而且对任何有趣的活动都不再感兴趣了。
That made you sign of depression.
这表明你可能患有抑郁症。
Let's break graveyard shift down.
让我们来详细了解一下“ graveyard shift”（即夜间班次）的具体情况。
Graveyard is a place where dead bodies are buried.
墓地是用来埋葬尸体的地方。
A synonym is cemetery, and shift is a period of time that you work.
Cemetery”（墓地）是“synonym”（同义词）之一；而“shift”则指的是你工作的时间段。
Graveyard shift is a common saying in business English, meaning a working shift that typically covers the hours of midnight to 8 a .m.
Graveyard shift”（夜班）是商务英语中常用的一个表达，指的是通常从午夜持续到早上8点的工作时间。
Even though it's called graveyard shift, it doesn't actually have anything to do with it.
尽管这个班次被称为“ graveyard shift”（即“夜班”），但实际上它与坟墓或死亡毫无关系。
It comes from the fact that grad yards are lonely and spooky, just like working or being alone in the middle of the night.
这是因为毕业典礼的场地通常显得十分寂静和阴森恐怖，就像在深夜独自工作或待在那里一样。
Some other names for shifts are the day shift, which is typically normal business hours like 9 a .m.
轮班还有其他一些称呼，比如“白班”，通常指的是正常的营业时间，比如早上9点。
to 5 p .m.
直到下午5点。
And the night shift, which would be after business hours in the late afternoon and night.
夜班的工作时间是在办公时间之外，通常是在傍晚或夜间。
So here, Taylor is saying she is staying up all night or working the graveyard shift because of her depression or sad feelings.
在这里，泰勒表示她因为抑郁或情绪低落而整晚不睡觉，或者不得不上夜班。
Ghosted is a slang term that means the act of suddenly ceasing all communication with a specific person.
Ghosted”是一个俚语，指的是突然停止与某人所有形式的联系（包括电话、短信、社交媒体等）。
It comes from the word ghost because it's like someone disappears into thin air, like a ghost.
这个词来源于“ghost”（鬼魂）这个词，因为这种现象就像有人突然消失得无影无踪，就像鬼魂一样。
This has become a lot more common with the use of dating apps like Tinder.
随着 Tinder 等交友应用程序的普及，这种情况变得越来越普遍。
If you go on a date with someone and then you never hear from them again, unfortunately you just got ghosted.
如果你和某人约好了见面，但之后却再也没有收到他们的任何消息，那么很遗憾，你遭遇了“被对方突然放鸽子”的情况。
You ghosted me for three years.
你整整三年都没有再和我联系过（或者说：你“玩消失”了三年）。
