反应不当可能会让对话变得尴尬。

Reacting incorrectly can create an awkward situation in conversation.

无论你的母语是什么，我们都曾在生活中经历过这种情况。

We have all experienced this in life, no matter your native language.

今天，学习三个情境下的表达方式，帮助你在英语中挽回对话的联系。

Today, learn phrases for three of these situations so that you can rescue the connection in English.

在你的母语中，你是个什么样的人？

Who are you in your native language?

自信、幽默、有主见？

Confident, funny, Opinionated?

那么，在英语中，你是个什么样的人？

Now, who are you in English?

如果你觉得自己在英语中更内向、更安静或更不表达，那并不是因为你英语不好。

If you feel smaller, quieter, or less expressive, that's not because you're bad at English.

这是因为流利度与自我认同密切相关。

It's because fluency is tied to identity.

当你不确定时，你会退缩。

When you're unsure, you hold back.

而当你退缩时，别人就看不到真实的你。

And when you hold back, people don't see the real you.

你不需要完美的语法。

You don't need perfect grammar.

你需要清楚是什么在拖慢你的步伐。

You need clarity about what is holding you back.

只需两分钟，你就可以免费了解自己的英语水平以及阻碍你进步的原因。

你好，奥布里。

Hello, Aubrey.

最近怎么样？

How's it going?

我很好。

I'm great.

Lindsey，你怎么样？

How are you, Lindsey?

Aubrey，我今天感觉不错，但我有个问题想开场时提一下。

Aubrey, I'm feeling good today, but I do have a question to open the show.

好的。

Alright.

我们开始吧。

Here we go.

什么是坏习惯？

So what is a bad habit?

你在对话中有什么坏习惯吗？

Do you have any bad habits when it comes to conversation?

哦，是的。

Oh, yes.

这是一件最近发生的事。

This is something that happened recently.

这种事经常发生在我身上。

It actually happens all the time to me.

我真的很需要改掉这个坏习惯。

I really need to fix this bad habit.

哦不。

Oh no.

我总是抢话，有时候在别人还没说完，甚至还没开口时，根据对话的走向，我就假设我知道他们要说什么，然后通常会笑一下，结果他们说出来的内容却不是那样。

What I do is I just get ahead of myself and sometimes before someone is done speaking, or even sometimes before they say anything, with the way the conversation is going, I'll sort of assume I know what they're going to say, and I'll react usually just with like sort of a laugh that and then sometimes they'll say what they're going to say and it's not.

那并不好笑。

It's not something funny.

那不是个笑话。

It's not a joke.

然后我就说，哦，对不起。

And and I'm like, oh, sorry.

我以为你要说别的东西。

I thought you were gonna say something else.

于是我因为抢话而制造了这种尴尬的局面。

And then I create this awkward convert awkward situation just because I'm getting ahead of myself.

天啊。

Oh my gosh.

太尴尬了。

It's so awkward.

但说实话，这听起来非常人性化。

But this sounds honestly very human.

你认为你为什么会这样？

Why do you think you do that?

是因为你没耐心吗？

Is it because you're impatient?

是因为你想要更快地获得那种连接感，比如通过笑声吗？

Is it because you want that moment of connection faster, like with the laugh?

你为什么

Why do you

觉得是这样呢？

think that is?

这可能是不耐烦的一部分。

It's probably part of its impatience.

我确实有总是想着接下来要做什么或说什么的倾向。

I do have a tendency to be thinking of what I want to do next or say next.

我知道这也是一个坏习惯。

And I know that also is a bad habit.

需要放慢脚步，真正认真地听别人说话，即使是在非常随意的情况下，对吧？

Need to slow down and actually really listen to what someone's saying, even in a very informal situation, right?

我仍然需要给人们机会表达自己，认真倾听，而不是急于抢话，对吧？

I still need to like give people a chance to be heard and listen instead of jumping ahead, right?

而且我也经常打断别人，或者抢着说话，我意识到了，我确实太常打断别人了。

And I also, very related, I will cut people off or talk over people and I recognize it and I interrupt far too often.

这部分是因为不耐烦，或者对接下来要发生的事感到兴奋。

Part of it's impatience or excited for what's happening next.

只是需要放慢速度，我们

Just need to slow We're

我们都犯过这种错。

all guilty of it.

没关系，奥布里。

It's okay, Aubrey.

我在家里也被这么指责过，总是打断别人，抢过话头，还没听完对方的观点就急着提出反对。

I've been accused of that at home as well, kind of cutting off and taking the conversation, like having an objection too quickly before I hear the person's points.

对吧？

Right?

这不公平。

It's not fair.

但如今这很难做到。

But it's hard these days.

即使在对话中你没有打断别人，你也会急于去笑，或者在笑点还没出现时就提前做出反应。

Even in conversation when you're not interrupting, you're rushing to the laugh or almost receiving the punchline before it's there.

对吧？

Right?

这是一种正念，对吧？

It's mindfulness, right?

我们很难保持正念。

It's hard for us to be mindful.

现在有太多事情在同时发生，我知道这确实是当前对话中非常普遍的现象。我最近刚读到一篇关于电视剧《继承之战》的文章，人们称赞它的剧本和导演，因为剧中人物频繁地互相打断、抢话，这种感觉非常贴近真实对话，而大多数电视剧和电影却做不到这一点。

There's just so much going I know it is a very common marker of speech right now because I actually just read an article about the TV show Succession where they were being praised for their script and the directing because they're talking over each other and interrupting each other so much, which feels so much like real speech, and most TV shows and movies don't do that.

真的吗？

Really?

我甚至都没想过这一点。

And I didn't even think about it.

通常是一个人说完，另一个人接着说，但他们这样互相打断、重叠说话的方式感觉非常真实。

Usually kind of one person says something and the next, but it feels so real the way they kind of talk over each other and interrupt

互相打断。

each other.

这看起来只是个附带的点。

Feel like that would be just a side point.

这对我们听众来说会是很好的推荐内容。

That would be great material for our listeners to check out.

是的，绝对推荐。

Yes, absolutely.

我推荐你看。

I recommend it.

你没看过《继承之战》吗，琳赛？

Have you not seen Succession, Lindsay?

我没看过。

I have not.

我没看过。

I have not.

不是

Not a

一部喜剧迷。

fan a comedy.

它就像一家大型媒体公司，有点像福克斯新闻，但由一个非常腐败的家族拥有。

It's like a big media company, kind of like Fox News, but that's owned by a very corrupt family.

天哪。

Oh gosh.

而且有很多出色的表演和导演，它很可能获得各种艾美奖提名。

And there's a lot of excellent acting and directing, it probably will be nominated for all kinds of Emmys.

有意思。

Interesting.

我非常喜欢它。

I have loved it.

我知道很多人喜欢它，但可能并不适合每个人。

I know a lot of people who love it, but it might not be for everyone.

它有点黑暗。

It is a little dark.

它有点沉重。

It's a little heavy.

好吧，我们的听众如果感兴趣可以去了解一下。

Well, our listeners can check that out if they want to.

我很喜欢。

I love it.

所以今天我很兴奋能探讨这个关于急于求成的话题。

So I'm excited to get into this topic today of rushing to the end.

你知道，当你陷入这种情况时，你能说些什么呢？

You know, what what what can you say when you caught in that?

但有没有相关的节目，奥布里，是我们听众应该先了解的？

But are there any related episodes, Aubrey, that our listeners should know about first?

当然。

Absolutely.

你和米歇尔最近录制了第1998期节目。

You and Michelle recently recorded episode nineteen ninety eight.

那期节目叫《错过笑点：英语中该怎么说》。

It was called Miss the Joke, What to Say in English.

正是这个节目启发了我制作这一期。当时我正在为应用挑选关键词，如果你们还没有安装应用，可以访问allersenglish.com/app。我负责挑选高级关键词，在挑选过程中，我回听了你们的对话，你们提到当遇到一些本不该理解的笑话时，人们会感到尴尬，比如明明不该笑却还是笑了，或者假装听懂了笑话，就像你们说的那样。

And that's what's inspired this episode when I was getting keywords for the app, which if you guys don't have it, to allersenglish.com/app, because I choose the high level keywords and when I was picking those, I was listening and you guys were talking about when it's awkward if something that you're supposed to, not supposed to understand, you like laugh or kind of go along with the joke like you were saying you do.

是的。

Yep.

这就制造了一个尴尬的时刻，因为大家都明白你不该笑的。

And then it creates this awkward moment because everyone knows you shouldn't have laughed.

你不该听懂这个笑话，对吧？

You shouldn't have understood the joke, right?

没错。

Right.

对。

Right.

所以我一直在想，这和我最近的一次经历非常相似。

And so I was thinking, and this is very similar to an experience I had recently.

于是我想，我们需要教大家如何应对这种情况。

So I'm like, oh, we need to teach the language for that.

如果你制造了这种尴尬局面，该怎么办？

What do you do if you create that awkward situation?

你可以说些什么？

What can you say?

我喜欢这种情境的具体性。

I love how specific this situation is.

这正是我们的听众需要的，朋友们。

It is exactly what our listeners need, guys.

对吧？

Right?

这也是我想象中我们的听众可能会遇到的情况。

And this is also a situation I could imagine our listeners might end up in.

对吧？

Right?

如果我们只是想随大流，就不可能总能举手说：我没听懂。

If we just want to be able to kind of play along with the crowd, we don't always we can't always raise our hand and say, I didn't get it.

对吧？

Right?

在语言表达上，你可以说：我没太明白。

Terms of the language, you didn't quite get it.

对吧？

Right?

所以，你可能会更频繁地遇到这种情况。

So, you may be in this situation potentially more often.

那我们就来聊聊吧，奥布里。

So, let's get into it then, Aubrey.

今天我们有三个小贴士来应对这种情况，对吧？

Do we have three tips today for this kind of Yes.

好的。

Okay.

没错，对吧？

Exactly, right?

简单来说，我们讨论的是：当你听错别人的话并因此做出不恰当的反应，或者你的笑声造成尴尬时，你可以怎么说。

So, just sort of to give you a little bit of overview, we're talking about what you can say if you mishear someone and accidentally react inappropriately, or if your laughter causes awkwardness.

所以，我们会给你三个具体的情景，以及当你遇到这些情况时可以说的话，对吧？

So, we'll give you three sort of scenarios, and what you can say if you find yourself in that scenario, right?

好的，这很有用。

All right, this is good.

那我们直接进入正题吧。

So, let's just dive right into it.

我们就开始吧，奥布里。

Let's just get into it, Aubrey.

第一个场景是什么？

What would be the first scenario?

如果我们笑出了尴尬，该怎么办？

What should we do if our laughter creates awkwardness?

这就是第一个情况，对吧？

That's the first Yes, right?

如果你笑了，然后出现了一阵尴尬的沉默，可能是因为你没听懂某句话，或者你不知道大家在笑什么，而在场的人都明白你根本不该笑，对吧？

If you laugh and then there's an awkward silence, because maybe you didn't understand something or you weren't in on a joke and everyone there knows, like you shouldn't be laughing for whatever reason, right?

你需要说点什么来化解这种尴尬，对吧？

You're gonna need something to say to dispel that awkwardness, right?

因为如果我们直接说点什么，坦白承认之类的，有太多方式了，大家就会笑起来，对话也能继续下去。

Because if we just say something, admit it, whatever, there are so many ways, then everyone will just laugh, the conversation moves on.

但如果你只是尴尬地愣在那里，这种尴尬感可能会持续很久。

But if you awkwardly just kind of look like the awkwardness can linger.

谢谢，所以我们想给你一些能化解尴尬的表达。

Thank you, So we wanna give you phrases to dispel it.

我们该说什么呢，林赛？

What can we say, Lindsey?

是的。

Yeah.

好的。

Okay.

所以我们可以先说，好吧。

So the first thing we can say is, okay.

你得给我解释一下。

You'll have to explain it to me.

我只是在笑，所以你不必停下来解释这个笑话。

I was just laughing, so you didn't have to stop and explain the joke.

我们有点绕回去了。

We're kind of backtracking here.

这非常典型，我确实完全说过这样的话，对吧？

It's very And this is totally something I have absolutely said this, right?

如果出现尴尬的情况，我会说：好吧，你抓到我了。

If there's awkwardness, I'll be like, okay, all right, you caught me.

我笑了。

I laughed.

你得给我解释一下。

You'll have to explain it to me.

然后我甚至还会这么说，对吧？

And then I'll even say that, right?

我只是在笑，所以你不必停下来解释这个笑话。

I was just laughing so you didn't have to stop and explain the joke.

因为如果你不想停下来每次都让他们解释，你们在英语中也不是孤例。

Because you guys are not alone in English if you're not wanting to stop the conversation and ask them to explain all the time.

就连母语者也会遇到这种情况。

This happens to native speakers as well.

如果有人在引用电影桥段或者谈论上周发生的事，这种事谁都遇到过。

If someone's making a movie reference or talking about something that happened last week, it happens to everyone.

哦，这种事情经常发生在我身上。

Oh, it happens to me all the time.

很难判断。

It's hard to know.

对吧？

Right?

在那一刻，你并不确定。

In that moment, you're not sure.

我是错过了某个该知道的文化或政治梗吗？

Am I missing a cultural or a political reference I should know?

还是说这其实只是一个我不用在意的内部笑话？

Or is it actually just an inside joke that I don't need to worry about knowing?

对吧？

Right?

然后就是Exactly。

And then Exactly.

你是如何在心里做出这个决定的？

How do you make that decision in your mind?

大多数时候，作为人类，我们的大脑会说：为了安全起见，还是跟着大家一起笑吧。

Most of the time, as human human beings, our human brains are gonna say, let's stay safe and just laugh along with the crowd.

对吧？

Right?

是的。

Yep.

当然。

Absolutely.

而且我们还有别的说法。

And we have something else you can say.

你可以说：等等，我觉得我漏掉了什么。

You could say, okay, wait, I feel like I'm missing something.

发生什么事了？

What happened?

或者你可以用一个非常地道的说法：‘给我讲讲’，意思是让我跟上进度，告诉我这个笑话的来龙去脉，对吧？

Or a really native thing you can say is, fill me in, which means like, catch me up, fill me in on the joke, right?

我超喜欢这个说法。

I love that one.

等等，你得给我讲讲。

Okay, wait, you need to fill me in.

对，我喜欢，太喜欢了。

Yes, I love it, I love it.

还有没有其他类似的情境，比如这里的一个子场景，奥布里？

And is there another scenario, like a sub scenario here, Aubrey?

有，当然有，对吧？

Yes, absolutely, right?

如果有人问你一个问题，那是因为很多时候你正处在这种情境中，而他们会继续往下聊。

If someone asks you something, that makes it because a lot of times you're in this situation, and they're just going to continue the conversation.

他们不会停下来，可能会有一点点尴尬的停顿，但接着就会有人接话继续下去，而你可能根本不需要说什么。

They're not going to, know, there might even be a little tiny awkward pause, but then someone's going to just pick it up and keep going, and you might not have to say anything.

但有时候，我们稍后在角色扮演中会展示，有时有人会直接指出来。

But sometimes, and we'll show this in the role play later, sometimes someone will point it out.

他们会说一些话，让你明显只能为了礼貌而笑，对吧？

They'll say something that makes it obvious you just laugh to be polite, right?

或者他们可能只是假设你听懂了笑话，然后说：‘你不是很喜欢那个场景吗？’

Or maybe they'll just assume you got the joke and they'll be like, oh, didn't you love that scene?

你不是很喜欢那部电影吗？

Didn't you love that movie?

然后你就被卡住了，心里想：‘不，我不想撒谎说‘是的，我超爱那部电影’。',

And then you're sort of caught and you're like, no, I don't want to lie and be like, yes, I love that movie.

是的。

Yeah.

那你可以怎么说呢？

What can you say instead?

对。

Right.

好的。

Okay.

那么我们开始吧。

So here we go.

这是你可以这么说的一种方式。

This is one thing you could say.

可以说：‘不，我没看过那个。’

Could say, No, I didn't see that.

怎么了？

What happened?

当有人问起那个场景或那部电影时，就是这种情况。

That's specifically when someone asks you about that scene or that movie itself.

对吧？

Right?

没错。

Exactly.

或者如果是

Or if it's

更一般的情况，你可以说：不，我不熟悉那个。

a little more general, you can say, No, I'm not familiar with that.

怎么了？

What happened?

或者，那是什么意思？

Or, What's that about?

对。

Right.

但我觉得，在第一种情况下，如果有人知道你并不了解这个笑话或内部笑话，却指出你刚刚笑了，那就太刻薄了。

I feel like with the first scenario, though, if someone knows that you're not in on the joke, an inside joke situation, and they point out that you just laughed, that's just mean.

这纯粹就是无礼。

That's just straight up rude.

可以

Can

是。

be.

也许他们只是想逗乐而已。

Maybe they're trying to be funny or whatever.

大多数情况下，我觉得人们。

Most cases, I feel like people.

所以在角色扮演中，你会马上看到这种情况：你对某事笑了，这让人觉得你听懂了笑话。

So what's going happen in a role play, you'll see this in a second guys, is more like you laugh at something, which makes it seem like you understood the joke.

所以他们以为你真的懂了。

And so they think you did.

然后他们就会说：‘你不是很喜欢那个吗？’

And then they're like, Oh, didn't you love that?

是的。

Yeah.

真的发生过。

That happened.

这种情况会变得越来越普遍，对吧？

That's going that's going to be a lot more common, right?

然后你就说：‘哦，不是，我只是在笑而已。’

And then you're like, Oh, no, I was just laughing.

知道有内部笑话的人会越来越少。

It's going be less common that someone knows there's an inside joke.

他们知道你当时不在场。

They know you weren't there.

所以你不该笑，他们会指出你。

So you shouldn't be laughing and they call you out.

那将会是

That would be

只是变得更多了。

just kind of lot more.

是的，完全正确。

Yeah, absolutely.

你可以直接反驳说：‘喂，这很无礼。’

And you could maybe just push back and be like, Okay, rude.

我只是不想让你停下来向我解释。

I was trying not to make you stop and explain to me.

也许你不该讲一些我不知道的、我没参与的内部笑话。

Maybe you shouldn't be telling inside jokes that I don't know that I'm not in on.

我太喜欢这个了。

I love that.

那会是我的回应。

That would be my comeback.

这主意不错。

That's a good one.

是的，当然。

Yeah, for sure.

好了，我们已经讲完了第一种情况。

Okay, so we've gotten through number one, that situation.

还有另一件事，奥布里，可能发生的情况是你听错了什么。

There's also something else, Aubrey, that could happen, which is that you misheard something.

对吧？

Right?

是的，我们来谈谈这个。

Yes, us about that one.

上周末我就遇到过这种情况。

This happened to me last weekend.

我的朋友在说些什么，我以为他在开玩笑。

My friend was saying something, and I thought he was making a joke.

这就是我之前跟你说过的坏习惯，我会觉得自己知道别人要说什么，然后提前接话。

And this was that bad habit I was telling you about where I sort of think I know what someone's gonna say, and I'm jumping ahead.

所以我笑了，以为他在开玩笑。

And so I laughed, assuming it was a joke.

然后，他才把话说完。

And then, he sort of finished what he was saying.

我这才意识到，他说的是：这是我的男朋友，古斯塔沃。

And I realized he had said, you know, this is my boyfriend, Gustavo.

而我却笑了。

And I had laughed.

我当时想：天啊，这太糟糕了。

And I was like, oh, no, this is terrible.

所以，我不能什么都不说。

So, I can't just say nothing.

我需要明确说明是我听错了。

I need to make it clear that I misheard.

对吧？

Right?

是我理解错了。

I misunderstood.

所以我们也需要一种表达这种情况的语言。

So, we need language for that as well.

是的。

Yes.

好的。

Okay.

所以，各位，你们可以这么说。

So, here's what you can say, guys.

记下来。

Write this down.

你可以说：哦，抱歉，我听错了。

You could say, oh, sorry, I misheard you.

对吧？

Right?

你也可以通过语气来表达清楚。

And you can make it clear in your tone of voice as well.

哦，抱歉，我听错了。

Oh, sorry, I misheard you.

你可以在语气中表现出你的关心。

You can show your sense of caring in your voice there.

没错。

Exactly.

这正是我说的，对吧？

And that's exactly what I said, right?

我当时说：哦，抱歉，我听错了。

I was like, Oh, sorry, I misheard you.

很高兴认识你，古斯塔沃。

Nice to meet you, Gustavo.

对吧？

Right?

这样你就不用留下奇怪的停顿，也不用等对方对你说的话做出反应。

And then you don't need to leave this weird pause or make them react to what you're saying.

你只需继续往下聊即可。

You just move on with the conversation.

对，没错。

Right, exactly.

那么，奥布里，你还能说第二句话是什么？

And what would be the second thing you could say, Aubrey?

是的，你可以说，哦，抱歉，我搞错了。

Yeah, you can say, Oh, my bad.

我以为你在说别的事情。

I thought you were saying something else.

或者说，我以为你要说别的事情。

Or even, I thought you were going to say something else.

因为在这种情况下，我在他还没说完话之前就笑了，这样说就很合适。

Because in this situation, where I sort of started laughing before he was even done with his statement, that would be appropriate.

可以说，哦，我以为你要讲个笑话。

Be like, oh, I thought you were gonna make a joke.

我以为你要说别的事情。

I thought you were gonna say something else.

是的。

Yeah.

为了让我们水平很高的听众做个对比，这两个短语中哪一个更随意？

Which of these, just to compare these two phrases for our super high level listeners, which one is more casual?

哪一个更正式？

Which is more serious?

我听错了你的话。

The I misheard you.

哦，抱歉，我听错了你的话，这稍微正式一点。

Oh, sorry, I misheard you is a little more formal.

如果你在工作中听错了别人，这句话再合适不过了。

This would be perfect for at work if you mishear someone.

这呢，你知道的，并不是特别特别正式。

This is, you know, it's not super overly formal.

我打沙滩排球的时候，就是这么说的。

I was at sand volleyball, and this is what I said.

但它在任何正式场合也非常合适。

But it also is super appropriate for any formal situation as well.

是的，也许它更适合用于可能冒犯了别人的错误，对吧？

Yeah, it's maybe just for, maybe potentially for a mistake that could have offended someone more, right?

比‘我的错’更严重一些。

More so than my bad.

‘我的错’比较轻描淡写。

My bad is kind of light.

它很轻描淡写。

It's light

这取决于你的真实态度。

It's on your true.

脚？有点轻率，对吧？

Feet, A little more flippant, right?

这个词的意思是

That word means

你几乎是在淡化这件事是个问题，而我不想在这种情况下显得轻率，因为我确实制造了一个可能冒犯他人的局面，我感到很抱歉。

you're sort of almost dismissing that it was a problem, and I didn't want to be flippant in that situation, because I had sort of created a situation where I potentially could offend someone and I felt badly.

所以，我不想轻描淡写地说‘我的错’，然后说‘我以为你在说别的’。

And so, I didn't want to be flippant and say, My bad, thought you were saying something else.

这个词真是

That is such a

顺便说一句，奥布里，‘轻率’这个词今天真是个不错的补充。

good bonus word for today, by the way, Aubrey, flippant.

我太喜欢这个词了。

I love it.

是的，这个词真的很棒。

Yes, it's really good.

这词肯定会被加进应用里，朋友们。

It'll definitely be in the app, guys.

是的，太喜欢了。

Yes, love it.

好的，今天我们有角色扮演吗？

All right, do we have a role play for today?

是的，当然有。

Yes, absolutely.

在这个角色扮演中，你和我正在派对上聊天，我来开头。

So in this role play, you and I are chatting at a party and I will start us out.

准备好了吗？

Ready?

好的。

Okay.

然后她说，这只有一点柠檬味。

So then she said, it's just a hint of lemon.

你不是喜欢《继承之战》里那个场景吗？

Didn't you love that scene on Succession?

哦，天哪。

Oh, no.

我没看到那一幕。

I didn't see that.

后来怎么了？

What happened?

哦，表弟格雷格用气泡水冲洗别人的眼睛，结果大家都生气了，因为水里有柠檬味。

Oh, cousin Greg uses sparkling water to wash out someone's eyes, and then everyone is mad because it had lemon in it.

他还说，就只是有一点柠檬味。

And he's like, it's just a hint of lemon.

哦，这太好笑了。

Oh, that's hilarious.

我得看看这部剧。

I've got to see that show.

结果完美极了。

And that worked out perfectly.

我们刚才在聊《继承之战》。

We were talking about Succession.

这一切都圆满闭环了。

It all came full circle.
