Hey everybody, let's talk English.
大家好，我们用英语交流吧。
That's kind of the title that I thought of for this type of video that I'm going to do.
这就是我为这类视频想出的标题。
I figured that I don't always need to just talk about one topic in particular.
我觉得并不总是非得只谈论某个特定的话题。
Maybe I can talk about a number of different things or just give you updates or whatever.
也许我可以谈谈一些不同的主题，或者只是向你们汇报一些最新情况之类的。
Talk about whatever I feel like talking about.
我想聊什么就聊什么吧。
And of course, you can practice your listening with these types of videos.
当然，你可以通过这类视频来练习听力。
To be honest, I think that I thought of this idea because I didn't know what to talk about in this video.
说实话，我觉得我之所以想到这个想法，是因为我不知道在这个视频里该讲些什么。
So I figured I would just write down some notes about things that I wanted to talk about
于是我想，干脆把那些我想讨论的内容都写下来吧。
and then just talk about them, how I would normally talk in these videos.
然后就简单地聊聊它们吧，就像我通常在这些视频里做的那样。
And then you can practice your listening.
然后你就可以练习听力了。
I hope you like it.
希望你喜欢它。
I hope that this style is okay for you.
我希望这种风格您会喜欢。
I'm not always going to be able to think of the most interesting topic to talk about, I think.
我想，我并不总能想出最有趣的话题来聊。
By the way, if this is the first video that you're watching, welcome.
顺便说一下，如果这是你第一次观看这个视频，那么欢迎你的到来！
This channel is for people who are practicing their listening comprehension in English.
这个频道是为那些正在练习英语听力理解能力的人准备的。
So of course, in these videos, I talk a little bit more slowly than native speakers do.
当然了，在这些视频中，我的说话速度会比以英语为母语的人慢一些。
I speak a little more clearly and it's easier to understand.
我说话时会更清晰一些，这样别人就更容易理解了。
So let's jump right in.
那么，我们就直接开始吧。
Let's just talk about some obvious things.
我们就来谈谈一些显而易见的事情吧。
I'm kind of growing a beard here.
我的胡子开始慢慢长起来了。
It's not really working out very well, but I'm trying.
事情进展得并不是很顺利，但我仍在努力尝试。
I look a little bit less put together.
我看起来稍微有些不整洁（或：不太精神焕发）了。
Maybe I'm not clean shaven or whatever, but I wanted to try to grow as much of a beard as I can.
也许我的胡子没有刮得很干净，但我想尽可能让胡子长得更长一些。
So that's why you see me like this.
这就是为什么你们看到我现在的样子。
I'm going to let it grow for a little while.
我会让它再生长一段时间。
So I apologize for my appearance in the next videos, but we'll see what happens.
因此，我为我在后续视频中的表现表示歉意，不过我们还是看看会发生什么吧。
I've always wanted to be able to grow a beard.
我一直希望能够留胡子。
So I have never been able to do so.
所以我一直无法做到这一点。
I just want to see how far I can get.
我只是想看看自己能走多远。
And as you can see, I'm not where I usually am, and that's because I moved.
正如你们所见，我现在并不在平时常待的地方，这是因为我搬走了。
I'm in a different house now.
我现在住在另一栋房子里。
I know this isn't a beautiful setup.
我知道这样的安排并不理想（或者说：这样的设置并不美观/并不完善）。
You can see my shadow on the wall.
你可以看到我的影子投在墙上的样子。
I've never been good at aesthetics when it comes to videos.
在视频的美学方面，我从来都不擅长。
Everything always looks a little bit off or ugly even.
无论什么，看起来总是有点不对劲，甚至有些丑陋。
I'm sorry.
很抱歉。
Maybe I'll get it better in the future, but you're here to listen not to observe.
也许将来我会理解得更透彻一些，但你的职责是倾听，而不是观察。
So hopefully you don't mind.
希望你不会介意。
You'll notice that I'm not going to be moving this arm as much.
你会发现，我不会再像之前那样频繁地移动这只手臂了。
Usually I've got my hands all over the place when I do these videos.
通常在制作这些视频的时候，我的手会忙得到处乱动（也就是不停地摆弄各种设备或道具）。
