嘿，欢迎来到这部“现实生活中的英语学习系列”的第二集。
In today's episode, I am going to teach you real English vocabulary, real English expressions.
在今天的节目中，我将教你一些真正的英语词汇和表达方式。
And I'm also going to teach you a fluency pattern that you can use today and sound more like a native English speaker.
我还会教你一种发音技巧，你可以立即开始使用它，从而让自己的发音更接近英语母语者的标准。
When you request something.
当你请求某样东西的时候。
I also have some quizzes just for you.
我还准备了一些小测验专门给你。
So I hope you're ready.
希望你们已经准备好了。
All right.
好的。
I'm teacher Tiffani.
我是蒂芙尼老师。
Let's jump right in.
我们直接开始吧。
All right.
好的。
So we're going to start off by looking at a situation, a real life situation here.
那么，我们首先来看一个现实生活中的例子。
We have a man and a woman sitting together looking at their cell phones.
有一名男性和一名女性坐在一起，都在看他们的手机。
Now the woman is probably saying, honey, you are more tech savvy than me.
现在，这个女人可能会说：“亲爱的，你在技术方面比我更在行。
Can you please show me how to work?
您能教我如何操作这个工具/系统吗？
This new phone you bought?
你买的那部新手机？
Now, this is a very natural conversation a very natural request that this woman is making, but what's the pattern that she used.
这确实是一个非常自然的对话，也是一个非常自然的请求——这个女人提出的请求完全合情合理。那么，她到底采用了什么样的表达方式或沟通模式呢？
Let me show you the pattern she used.
让我给你们看看她使用的图案。
She said his name or a nickname, which is honey.
她叫出了他的名字，或者他的昵称——“Honey”（亲爱的）。
And I'll explain.
我会解释的。
Then she gave the reason or the current situation.
然后她解释了原因或当前的情况。
And finally she made her request.
最后，她提出了自己的请求。
She didn't just immediately make the request.
她并没有立刻提出这个请求。
She followed this pattern and this formula.
她遵循了这一模式和这个公式。
Now I do want to explain something to you really quickly, honey, you may be asking teacher, what does honey?
现在，我真的想快速地给你解释一件事，亲爱的。你可能会问：“老师，‘honey’是什么意思呢？
Now honey is just a term of endearment for someone you love.
亲爱的，其实“honey”只是一个用来称呼你所爱的人的亲昵称呼罢了。
So for example, my mother will call my father, honey, or dear.
例如，我妈妈会称呼我爸爸为“亲爱的”或“宝贝”。
Likewise, my father will call my mother, honey or dear.
同样地，我父亲也会称呼我的母亲为“亲爱的”或“宝贝”。
So you can call your spouse, your boyfriend, or your girlfriend, honey, in English.
所以你可以用英语称呼你的配偶、男朋友或女朋友，比如“亲爱的”（honey）。
We say, honey, good job.
我们会对她说：“亲爱的，你做得真棒！
One more time after me, honey.
亲爱的，再跟着我做一次吧。
Excellent.
非常出色。
All right.
好的。
Now she also said something that maybe you haven't heard before.
现在她还说了一些可能你以前从未听过的内容。
She said tech savvy after me tech savvy.
她一个接一个地说：“她比我更懂技术！
Excellent.
非常出色。
Now tech savvy just means well informed about or good at using modern technology.
如今，“精通技术”仅仅意味着对现代技术有充分的了解，或者擅长使用这些技术而已。
So maybe you are tech savvy.
也许你很精通技术。
Maybe you are really good at using computers and cell phones and other things you can say.
也许你真的很擅长使用电脑、手机以及其他各种设备。
Ah, I'm tech savvy.
啊，我对技术很在行。
It makes sense right now, look again, at what she said, she said, honey, the name you are more tech savvy than me.
现在看来这一切都很合理。再仔细想想她的话：她说：“亲爱的，你在技术方面比我更在行。
