你可能在英语上从技术上讲是正确的，但听起来仍然不自然。
You can be technically correct in English and still not sound natural.
也许你的句子语法没错，但总觉得生硬、有点机械，不像母语者会说的那样。
Maybe your sentences are grammatically right, but something feels stiff, a little robotic, not quite how a native speaker would say it.
这就是语感。
That's nuance.
流利度体现在搭配、短语动词和词语选择上，而不仅仅是语法规则。

嗨，琳达。
Hey, Lindsay.
你怎么样？
How are you?
很好，米歇尔。
Great, Michelle.
很高兴能和你一起在话筒前交流。
Glad to be here on the microphone with you.
今天有什么话题？
What's going on today?
嗯，琳达，你有没有什么信赖的清洁产品，能去除任何污渍？
Well, Lindsay, do you have any trusted cleaning products that can get out any stain?
这是个好问题。
That's a good question.
有时候我用去渍棒效果不错。
Sometimes I've had luck with stain stick.
你知道那种小棒子吗？上面有凝胶，可以涂在污渍上。
You know that the like the little stick that has the gel that you put on things?
它就叫这个吗？
That's what it's called?
是的。
Yeah.
就是去渍棒。
Like stain stick.
我记得小时候用过，因为我总是把衣服弄脏。
I think at least I I remember when I was a kid using that because I used to get stains in all my clothes.
当然。
Of course.
但这个，是的。
But this Yeah.
是的。
Yeah.
那么，Michelle， stains 真的不是什么难题，对吧？
So really stains are no battle for what, Michelle?
去污棒。
Stain stick.
我想是吧。
I guess not.
是的。
Yeah.
我想是的。
I guess so.
我们不是去污棒的赞助商。
We're not sponsored by stain stick.
不。
No.
不。
No.
不。
No.
不。
No.
嗯，这倒是值得了解。
Well, that's good to know.
好的。
Okay.
我得去查一下。
I'll have to look it up.
所以今天，我们要讨论一个关于力量的表达。
So today, we are going to talk about an expression that deals with strength.
那么，琳赛，它是什么？
So what is it, Lindsay?
你刚刚用过了。
You just used it.
就是它。
That's it.
所以今天这个表达是‘X对Y来说不是一场战斗’。
So the the expression today is x is no battle for y.
对吧？
Right?
是的。
Yes.
这是一个很有趣的表达。
So this is this is a fun one.
基本上，这意味着Y——比如那个污渍清洁棒——比X更强或更好，就像污渍无法与污渍清洁棒相比一样。
So so essentially, this means y or like like the stain stick in that example is better or stronger than X or the stain in some So the stain can't compete with the stain stick.
它会的，是的。
It's going to Yeah.
这很有趣。
This is fun.
这为我们语言中的表达增添了一种趣味性，我们可以对事物进行评论。
This gives us an element of interest in our language, and we can comment on things.
是的。
Yeah.
我的意思是，这很酷。
I mean, this is cool.
知道米歇尔这件事真的会很酷。
This is gonna be really cool to know Michelle.
是的。
Yeah.
这很有趣。
Is a fun one.
是的。
Yeah.
你知道我最期待的是什么吗？
And you know what I'm excited about?

琳赛，你愿意为我们念一下名字吗？

所以，Lindsay，x 对 y 来说不是一场战斗。
So Lindsay, x is no battle for y.
你在对话中经常听到这句话吗？或者在什么情况下会听到？
Do you hear this a lot in conversations, or when might you hear it?
我会听到这句话，有时也会听到它的各种变体。
I hear this, and then I hear variations of this sometimes.
但力量在人生中是很重要的。
But strength is an important thing in life.
对吧？
Right?
嗯。
Mhmm.
或者竞争在人生中也很重要。
Or competition is an important thing in life.
通常归结为这个东西能不能打败那个东西。
Usually comes down to can this thing beat this thing.
对吧？
Right?
是的。
Yes.
是的。
Yes.
是的。
Yeah.
没错。
Exactly.
是的。
Yeah.
这让我想起我几周前刚去看了牛仔竞技表演。
It makes me think of I just went to the rodeo actually a few weeks ago.
真的吗？
Really?
丹佛有个著名的展会，就是著名的丹佛牲畜展。
So Denver has a famous the stock show, the famous Denver stock show.
好的。
Okay.
他们每场都会做所有那些项目。
Every they do all the things.
他们进行公牛骑乘。
They do the bull riding.
他们进行桶赛。
They do the barrel racing.
他们还做绵羊扑腾，他们这么叫。
They do the mutton busting, they call it.
这真是一次难忘的体验。
It's just it's such an experience.
这太疯狂了。
It's just crazy.
你有那些多年从事这项运动的老牛仔，也有新手。
And you have the longtime cowboys that have been doing it for years, and then you have the newbies.
这真的很有趣。
It's really fun.
你去过牛仔竞技表演吗？
Have you ever been to a rodeo machine?
我从来没去过。
I have never.
我从来没去过。
I have never.
如果我去参加牛仔竞技表演，那将是我第一次。
If I would go to a rodeo, that would be my first rodeo.
你的第一次牛仔竞技表演。
Your first rodeo.
是的。
Yeah.
我们有没有
Have we
讨论过这个表达？
ever talked about that expression?
也许有吧。
Maybe.
我不用查。
I don't have to check.
我不
I don't
觉得我们没谈过。
think we have.
我不确定，但我建议如果你有机会去西部的话，一定要去参加一次牛仔竞技表演。
I'm not sure, but I do recommend a rodeo if you have if you have a chance at some point in the West.
是的。
Yeah.
知道了。
Good to know.
知道了。
Good to know.
我还会在广告里听到这种说法，比如去污棒的情况。
I would also hear this in, I think of like advertisements, like the stain stick situation.
有可能。
It's possible.
我甚至试着查了一下。
I even tried looking it up.
我不确定，但他们可能在广告中使用这种东西。
I I wasn't sure, but it's possible that they do use this in commercials.
哦，这根本不是什么问题，你知道的。
Oh, it's no battle for, you know.
或者在电影里。
Or maybe in movies.
对吧？
Right?
你可能会在很多地方听到这个。
There are so many places that you might hear this.
所以这真的很有意思。
So this is really fun.
那我们来举几个例子吧。
So let's do some examples.
琳赛，你来开头好吗？
Lindsay, you wanna start us A
三十分钟的Peloton骑行对我来说根本不算什么。
thirty minute Peloton ride is no battle for me.
我经常做这些。
I do those all the time.
哦，啦啦。
Oh, la la.
哦，
Oh,
好高级啊。
so fancy.
那我们到底想表达什么呢？
What so what are we saying there?
所以你的意思是，这根本不是问题。
So you're just saying, like, it's not a problem.
我轻松就能完成三十分钟的Peloton骑行，因为我已经习惯了。
I can easily do a thirty minute Peloton ride because I'm used to it.
我比Peloton还要强大。
I'm stronger than the Peloton.
对。
Right.
或者对她来说，500页的书也不是问题。
Or a 500 page book is no battle for her.
她经常读更长的书。
She reads longer books all the time.
所以Lindsay，当你选书读的时候，我知道你爱读书，你会不会……
So Lindsay, do you like, when you're choosing a book to read, because I know you read, do you
是的。
Yeah.
你会避开页数超过一定长度的书吗？
Do you shy away from over a certain page length?
你会觉得，嗯，没问题。
Are you like, okay.
是的。
Yeah.
如果是一本一千页的厚书。
If it's extensive, like a thousand page book.
我从来没读过一千页的书。
I don't think I've ever read a thousand page book before.
但如果一本书挺厚，看起来不错，还拿过奖，我可能会直接读下去，因为我知道它一定会吸引我。
But if, you know, if it's kinda thick and it seems like a good book, it's got awards, I probably will dive into it just because I know it'll it'll hook me.
嗯。
Uh-huh.
好的文笔，没什么能比得上。
Like, good writing, there's nothing like it.
这是世界上最好的事情。
It's the best thing in the world.
是的。
Yeah.
你知道的？
You know?
没错。
Yep.
是的。
Yeah.
那这个例子呢？
How about this example?
和杰里米长时间交谈对我来说不是一场战斗。
A long talk with Jeremy is no battle for me.
我能和他一样说个不停。
I can talk just as much as he can.
是的。
Yeah.
你生活中有没有认识谁就是那种特别爱说话的人？
Do you do you know anyone in your life who just is like a a talker?
是的。
Yeah.
当然。
For sure.
我认识这样的人。
I know people like this.
有些人就是不停地讲，还过度解释事情。
People just just go on and on and over explain things.
对。
Yes.
对。
Yes.
我确实认识这样的人。
I definitely know people.
但当你把他们放在同一个房间里时，情况就特别有趣。
And then it's but it's really funny when you get them in a room together.
就像，你知道的，像两条斗鱼。
It's like, you know, it's like two beta fish.
就像，谁会赢呢？
Like who's gonna Right?
谁会向对方让步？
Who yields to the other?
对吧？
Right?
是的。
Yeah.
这是个好问题。
That's a good question.
是的。
Yeah.
或者这次洒落根本不是我吸尘器的对手。
Or this spill is no battle for my vacuum.
它太棒了。
It's the best.
所以也许你洒了一大堆金鱼饼干，或者我说吧，我确实因为孩子把各种杂物弄得到处都是。
So maybe you spilled a whole bunch of goldfish crackers or you maybe I mean, yeah, I got all sorts of junk all over my floor from my kids.
对。
Yep.
嗯。
Mhmm.
是的。
Yeah.
这让我联想到纸巾广告。
It makes the concept also makes me think of, like, a paper towel commercial.
你知道的吧？
You know?
他们总是展示那些糟糕的洒漏场景，狗跑过去，孩子打翻了
How they they show these awful spills, the dog runs through, and the kid knocks over
苹果汁，然后
the apple juice, and then
他们拿出纸巾。
they have the paper towel.
根本不用费劲，你知道的，这正是我们想表达的氛围。
There's no battle for you know, that's this is the the vibe that we're getting at here.
这个洞对我妈来说根本不是问题。
This hole is no battle for my mom.
她缝纫特别厉害，什么都能修。
She's so good at sewing and can fix anything.
也许你的毛衣上破了个大洞。
So maybe you got a big hole in your sweater.
对吧？
Right?
是的。
Yeah.
没错。
Right.
嗯哼。
Mhmm.
对。
Yes.
我妈妈曾经想教我缝纫，但我小时候从不认真听。
My my mom tried to teach me to sew, and I never paid attention when I was a kid.
从来不想学缝纫。
Never wanted to learn to sew.
我当时就说，妈妈，我不想干这个。
I was like, mom, I don't wanna do that.
哦，我知道。
Oh, I know.
我记得，那时候我上小学，我们有一个当学徒的项目。
I remember so it's like when I was in, I guess, elementary school, and we had to do something where we were an apprentice.
我们要向某人学习某种技能，我选了我奶奶，学的是缝纫。我到现在还保留着一些我们做的东西，比如用毛毡缝制的小包，还有毛毡做的小枕头，哎呀。
Oh, We were we were an apprentice to someone for some skills, I chose my grandma, and the skill was And I still have some of the things that we made, like we sewed like little felt like felt together to make a little bag, and like a felt to make a little pillow, and Aw.
是的。
Yeah.
你觉得你学会了吗？
You feel like you learned how to do it?
你觉得自己真的喜欢吗？
Do you feel like you really like
我的意思是，那大概是三十年前的事了。
I mean, that I mean, that was probably good thirty years ago.
所以我不太会，但我妈妈很会缝纫，她会做很多东西，按理说我应该也会缝纫。
So I don't but my mom my mom can sew, like, as as so she, you know, should I should know how to sew.
我知道。
I know.
我觉得我们这一代，这种技能就这么慢慢消失了。
I feel like our generation, this is a skill that just kinda got lost.
我们就是，是的。
We just Yeah.
我觉得我父母曾经试图教过我们。
I I feel like our parents try to teach us.
我觉得我哥哥其实会缝纫。
I think my brother knows how to sew, actually.
我想他是跟我妈妈学的。
I think he learned from my mom.
哦，真好。
Oh, nice.
但我当时就想，算了吧。
But I was like, oh, forget that.
我想出去玩，你知道的。
I wanna go out and play, you know?
是的。
Yeah.
我在大学学戏剧的时候，做过服装之类的活。
Well, as studying theater in college, we did costumes and things.
所以我最后还是用了缝纫机，就是为课程用的。
So I did end up using a sewing machine and that, you know, that for for class.
好吧。
Okay.
所以这还挺有意思的。
So that was kind of neat.
但其实我儿子有个毛绒玩具，它的头裂开了。
But no, actually my son, he has a stuffed animal and it just it just its head opened.
对。
Yeah.
这个彻底报废了。
That's that's a goner.
这个彻底报废了。
That's a goner.
我妈妈当时和我们在一起，但她没太多时间做，所以现在我就想，哦，奶奶来弄吧。
And my mom was actually with us, but she didn't have much time to do it because And we were so now I'm like, oh, Grammy will do it.
是的。
Yeah.
是的。
Yeah.
是的。
Yeah.
我太喜欢了。
I love that.
我太喜欢了。
I love that.
你还能想到其他例子吗？
Any other examples you can think of?
没有。
No.
这就是全部了。
This is this is it.
这就是这种感觉。
This is the vibe.
对吧？
Right?
有些东西比其他东西更坚韧。
Something is tougher than something else.
有些东西可以战胜另一些东西，但我们在很多情境下都能看到这一点。
Something can defeat something else, but we can see it in a lot of contexts.
对吧？
Right?
牛仔竞技比赛中的竞争，把东西洒在地上然后用某种产品清理干净。
Competition in the rodeo, spilling something on the floor and using a certain product to clean it up.
无论如何都很有用。
It's useful anyway.
非常多样化。
Very diverse.
是的，没错。
Yeah, right.
你真的可以在一整天的许多场合中找到使用这种产品的各种方法。
You can really find, I mean, throughout your day, so many ways that you can probably think of to use this.
所以，是的，我们会在广告后继续聊一聊这个。
So, yeah, we'll talk a little bit more about this after the break.
是的。
Yes.
好的，米歇尔。
Alright, Michelle.
那么，为什么这个表达适合用于英语中的互动时刻呢？
So why is this good for connection moments in English?
是的。
Yeah.
我的意思是，这个表达很有个性。
I mean, this has a lot of personality to it, this expression.
这可不是一个枯燥的表达。
This is not a boring sounding expression.
而且它评论了某人或某物擅长什么。
So and it comments on what someone or something is good at.
对吧？
Right?
所以它既能展现自信，也能体现幽默。
So it can show confidence, it could show humor.
这种表达的用途真的非常多。
There's just a lot that you can use this type of expression for.
你觉得呢，林赛？
What do you think, Lindsay?
是的。
Yeah.
我认为这是在建立关系。
I think relationship building here.
对吧？
Right?
是的。
Yeah.
在某人去参加对他们很重要的比赛之前，给予他们信心的提升，是一种非常重要的连接技巧。
Giving giving someone that boost of confidence before they go out and compete in something that matters to them is a huge connection skill.
你需要这样的表达方式。
You need the words for that.
对吧？
Right?
是的。
Yeah.
是的。
Yeah.
所以你还可以讲其他话，比如‘x完全比不上y’。
And so there are other things that you might say, like x is no match for y.
比如考试，这些饼干完全比不上你自制的饼干。
So exam for example, these cookies are no match for your homemade cookies.
你的才是最好的。
Yours are the best.
所以也许你去买了商店里的饼干。
So maybe you went and you bought store made cookies.
你知道，商店里的饼干有时候味道并不好。
You know, store made cookies sometimes don't taste that good.
它们吃起来很加工过。
They they taste processed.
对吧？
Right?
对。
Right.
嗯嗯。
Mhmm.
对。
Right.
没错。
Exactly.
或者可以说，x根本无法与y相比。
Or something x doesn't stand a chance against y.
这次徒步根本无法和我们的团队相比。
So this hike doesn't stand a chance against our team.
我们走过远更艰难的路线。
We have hiked way harder trails.
所以也许吧，你继续说。
So maybe yeah, go ahead.
不，我本来想说，这很有趣，因为这有点把整个情节拟人化了，如果另一边是个物体的话。
No, I was gonna say that's just interesting because that is kind of personifying well, this whole episode is kind of personifying the if it's object on the other side.
对。
Right.
对。
Right.
对。
Right.
它让它像是一个人。
It's it's it's making it like a person.
它只是一次徒步旅行。
It's just a it's a hike.
它只是一条小径。
It's a trail.
对吧？
Right?
对。
Right.
是的。
Yes.
但它根本不可能对抗我们，对抗我们的团队。
But it doesn't stand a chance against us, against our team.
所以我觉得，用这种方式表达挺不错的。
So that's kind of a cool way to phrase that, I think.
是的。
Yeah.
是的。
Yeah.
这确实非常有趣。
It is a very interesting one.
好吧。
So alright.
我们来角色扮演一下。
Let's do a role play here.
好的。
Okay.
所以现在我在你家，你把麦圈撒了一地，还不小心踩了上去。
So here I am at your house, and you just spilled Cheerios all over the floor and accidentally accidentally stepped stepped on on them.
麦圈。
Them.
撒了麦圈已经够糟了，但你再踩上去，还弄得到处是灰，哦，等等。
It's It's my my It's one one thing to spill the Cheerios, but then when you step on them and there's dust oh, wait.
不。
No.
是我干的。
I did it.
对不起。
I'm sorry.
我在自己家洒了，你在我家洒了麦圈，或者反过来。
I spilled the in my house, and you spilled Cheerios in my house or vice in
我在你家洒了麦圈，然后我踩上了。
your I spilled I spilled Cheerios in your house, and then I stepped
所以很尴尬。
So on embarrassing.
天啊。
Gosh.
太可怕了。
Horrifying.
在这儿
Here
我们开始吧。
we go.
展开剩余字幕（还有 134 条）
哦，不。
Oh, no.
我真的很抱歉。
I'm so sorry.
别担心。
Don't worry.
别担心。
Don't worry.
这些奇巧饼干根本比不上我的戴森吸尘器。
These Cheerios are no match for my Dyson watch.
哇。
Wow.
这真的太不可思议了。
That really is incredible.
是的。
Yeah.
而且碎屑根本不是我的对手。
And crumbs don't stand a chance against me.
我是个洁癖患者。
I'm a neat freak.
我希望我也擅长打扫。
I wish I were good at cleaning.
脏乱的家根本不是我的懒惰的对手。
A dirty house is no battle for my laziness.
是的。
Yeah.
不。
No.
那是真的。
That's true.
当你有能搞定一切的关键设备时，这还挺有趣的。
That's kind of fun when you have your key equipment that's gonna take care of anything.
对吧？
Right?
是的。
Yes.
或者像你们正在翻新房子，选对地板非常重要。
Or like if you if you do a renovation, like we're renovating our house right now and choosing the right flooring is huge.
对吧？
Right?
特别是如果你要组建家庭，养宠物，还有湿脚丫的情况。
Especially if you're gonna have a family, you're gonna have pets in there and wet feet.
我的意思是，耐用的地板真的很重要，对吧？
I mean, tough floors are really important, right?
没错，没错，就是这样。
Yep, yep, exactly.
所以我把麦圈撒了。
So I spilled the Cheerios.
我们想明白了，你说这些麦圈根本敌不过我的戴森。
We figured And it you said, these Cheerios are no match for my Dyson.
戴森是一种吸尘器。
So Dyson is a kind of vacuum cleaner.
不过它挺贵的。
It's an expensive one though.
我没有。
I don't have Yeah.
再说一遍，这不是戴森的广告。
Again, not sponsored by Dyson.
别担心。
Don't worry.
这不是戴森的广告。
Not sponsored by Dyson.
是的。
Yes.
这很有趣。
That's funny.
然后你说，是的。
And then you said, yeah.
碎屑根本不是我的对手。
And crumbs don't stand a chance against me.
这很有趣。
That's fun.
对吧？
Right?
Again, kind of personifying the crumbs a bit.
Again, kind of personifying the crumbs a bit.
对吧？
Right?
对。
Right.
只是因为有很多人，我的意思是，这个表达方式可以有很多发挥空间。
It's just that there's a lot of person I mean, there's so much you could do with this expression.
所以这里还有另一件事我说过。
So here's another thing I said.
我说，我希望自己擅长打扫。
I said, I wish I were good at cleaning.
脏乱的家根本不是我懒惰的对手。
A dirty house is no battle for my laziness.
所以，是的。
So Yep.
我同时赋予了两样东西人性。
Two I'm personifying two different things.
是的。
Yeah.
房子和……所以我在说，尽管我家很脏，但我太懒了，懒得去打扫。
The house and the so I'm saying I'm like, oh, even though my house is dirty, I'm too lazy to clean it up.
所以这是一种更有趣的方式来表达这一点。
So it's just a more interesting way to say that.
我喜欢这个。
I love that.
是的。
Yeah.
我们正在享受这个过程。
We're having fun with this.
是的，我们在享受乐趣。
It's and we're having fun.
尤其是前两个说法，麦圈根本不是我的戴森吸尘器的对手，这些面包屑根本毫无胜算。
And especially the first two phrases, the Cheerios are no match for my Dyson and don't these crumbs don't stand a chance.
你可能想，或者我在试着让你别那么尴尬，因为你撒了麦圈。
You're maybe trying to or I'm trying to kinda make you feel less embarrassed because you spilled the Cheerios.
对吧？
Right?
所以这就像是在赋予这个东西人格，因为我们打算一起对抗它。
And so it's kind of like personifying this thing because we're gonna battle it together sort of.
或者我要给你展示我是如何对抗它的。
Or I'm gonna show you how I can battle this.
所以这是在你的语言中加入一点个性和生命力，以缓解尴尬。
So it's putting a little character, little life into your language to to soften the embarrassment.
对。
Right.
你可能会说，哦，不。
You're like, oh, no.
比如，你在吸引注意力。
Like, get you're drawing attention.
吸引注意力。
Draw attention.
是的。
Yeah.
把某事和另一件事联系起来，说没关系，因为这没什么大不了的，对吧。
To to something to something else and saying, oh, it's okay because this is a no bad Yeah.
实际上，这有点让人分心。
It's it's distracting, actually.
但这是好事。
It's like in a good way.
它能转移人们对我的错误的注意力。
Distracts kinda Distracts from the mistake I made.
是的。
Yeah.
这正是连接技巧之一。
That's kinda one of the connection skills right there.
你怎么能让一个人立刻感觉好起来？
How do you make someone instantly feel better
是的。
Yeah.
通过稍微玩弄一下语言，用一种有点滑稽的方式表达事情。
By playing around with language a bit and being a little bit silly in the way you word something.
不要说，哦，我这就去拿我的吸尘器。
Instead of saying, oh, I'll just get I'll get my vacuum cleaner.
没关系。
It's okay.
对。
Right.
对。
Right.
好的。
Okay.
那没问题。
That's that's fine.
这有点基础。
It's kinda basic.
对。
Right.
他们可能仍然会很尴尬。
And they might still be quite embarrassed.
但如果你说，哦，这些吸尘器根本比不上我的戴森。
But if you say, oh, these cherros are no match for my Dyson.
看好了。
Watch this.
对吧？
Right?
就是就是
It's just Just
basically 就是想给我看看你的玩具。
wanna show me your toy, basically.
是的。
Yeah.
事情的重点变成了吸尘器，而不是你撒了樱桃零食这件事。
It becomes more about the vacuum cleaner than about the fact that you spilled the cherros.
所以这些都是一些微不足道的小事，朋友们，但它们确实对建立关系有影响，对吧？
So these are such tiny little things, guys, but it does make the difference in relationship building, right?
对建立联系有影响。
In connection building.
明白吗？
Okay?
是的。
Yeah.
对。
Yeah.
真的很有趣。
Are so fun.
我喜欢。
I love it.
我也觉得，林赛，你和奥布里做过这个。
I also think, Lindsay, I think you did this with Aubrey.
25.85是‘挑战灯光’，关于如何通过危险驾驶建立联系。
Was 25.85 was Beat the Light, How to connect over risky driving.
哦。
Oh.
是的。
Yes.
那是个不错的环节。
That was a good one.
我们非常坦诚地分享了各自的驾驶习惯和技能之类的事情。
We we were very honest about our driving habits and skills and things like that.
那很有趣。
That was fun.
所以各位，去听听那一集吧。

我认为今天我们已经涵盖了连接技巧，米歇尔。
And I think we covered the connection skill for today, Michelle.
就这样了。
That's it.
我的意思是，我们在语言上玩得很开心。
I mean, we are having fun with language.
我们在这里赋予物体人格，并且是为了在每场对话中实现更深的连接这一更高目标。
We're personifying objects here, and we're doing it for the greater goal of of connection in each conversation.
当然。
Absolutely.
对吧？
Right?
是的。
Yeah.
对。
Yes.
试试这些吧。
Give these give these a try.
这超级有趣，而且很有趣的是，就连我策划这一集时，想到各种例子都觉得很有意思，因为你可以用这么多不同的东西。
It's it's super fun, and it's funny to think like, even for me planning this episode, it was fun to think of different examples because you can use so many different things.
这不仅仅意味着，哦，你只能用这种方式或那种方式。
This is not just a, oh, you can only use this in this way or that way.
你可以在这方面发挥极大的创意。
You you can get so creative with it.
是的。
Yeah.
所以，各位，尽情发挥吧。
So just go crazy, guys.
你知道的，享受乐趣。
You know, have fun.
好吧。
