嘿，林赛。

Hey, Lindsay.

你最近怎么样？

How are you?

我特别好，米歇尔。

I'm doing really great, Michelle.

你今天怎么样？

How are you today?

我还不错。

I'm doing well.

林赛，最近几个月你看过什么老电影吗？

Lindsay, have you been have you seen any old movies in the past few months?

你知道吗？

You know what?

说起来有点尴尬，我现在住在我公婆的公寓里，电视有点怪，能看的频道特别有限。

I it's kind of embarrassing, but I'm staying at my in laws condo and the TV's kinda weird, like what we have access to.

我偶然发现一个频道，一直在循环播放《90210》的老剧集，我都好多年没看了。

And I discovered a channel where they have they show, like, on repeat old nine zero two one o episodes that I haven't seen in so long.

有时候我一看就是一小时，根本没动。

So I actually didn't watch them for, like, an hour sometimes.

我就想着，哎，这集我记得，当年17岁的时候还看过呢。

So I'll be like, well, I remember this episode or ever So I thought about this episode when I was 17 and I watched it.

是啊。

So yeah.

有点儿像在重温青春了。

Kinda reliving the past a little bit.

这还挺有意思的。

This is kind of fun.

对。

Yeah.

我老在想该跟儿子一起看什么新片子。

I'm I'm, you know, always thinking of like now movies to watch with my son.

是的

Yeah.

当然

Sure.

就是那种适合全家看的、老一点的、让人怀旧的电影。

You know, like family friendly, like old, like nostalgic kind of movies.

比如《回到未来》。

Like, watched back to the future.

我们把《回到未来》三部曲都给他们放了一遍。

We showed them all of the back to the future movies.

说到《回到未来》，咱们真该做一期专门讲里面经典台词的，米歇尔，这电影到现在还经常被人引用。

Speaking of back to the future, we should have an episode that brings in vocabulary from back to the future because it is still quoted, Michelle.

没错。

That's true.

确实如此。

That is true.

对，咱们真该做个关于《回到未来》的节目。

Back to the yeah, we should do Back to the to the Future.

是的，各位。

Yeah, guys.

顺便说一下，记得点关注，关注All Ears English，这样就不会错过接下来这些超棒的点子了，马上就能看到。

Hit the follow button, by the way, because that is another reason just to follow All Ears English so you don't miss these awesome idea episode ideas that are coming up here that you will be you will see soon.

对吧？

Right?

对。

Yeah.

太棒了。

Love it.

当然了。

Definitely.

不过呢，今天咱们来聊聊一个特别实用的沟通技巧。

So but, yeah, today we're gonna talk about a great connection skill.

意思是你已经很久没做某件事了。

And it's saying that there's been a long time since you just since since you last did something.

对吧？

Right?

所以你说，哎呀，我好久没看这9万2100集了。

So you mentioned, you know, oh, I haven't seen these 90,210 episodes in forever.

对吧？

Right?

是啊。

Yeah.

对啊。

Yeah.

这其实是个挺有趣的拉近距离的小技巧。

And this is just a it's a kind of a fun connection skill.

没错。

Yep.

我们还没看呢，今天就来聊聊这里的语法吧。

I haven't seen so we're gonna talk a little bit about the grammar here today.

这会用到一些现在完成时的表达。

This does involve some present perfect grammar or expressions.

对吧？

Right?

表达方式有很多种，但很明显，这是一项很不错的连接技巧，米歇尔。

There are different ways to get at this point, but it does show well, this is clearly a connection skill, Michelle.

是的。

Yeah.

没错。

So yeah.

对。

Yes.

正是如此。

Exactly.

所以一个很好的说法是：我好久没看过了。

So For a great way to do this is I haven't blank in so long.

对吧？

Right?

比如《回到未来》，我知道我以前看过，但那真是太久以前的事了。

So I I mean, with Back to the Future, I it it it was like I I mean, I know that I'd seen the movies, of course, but it was so long.

我也没反复看过这些片子什么的。

I can't like, they're not ones that I watched over and over again or anything like that.

所以就像第一次看一样，我可能会跟他说：哎，我好久没看这部了。

So it was kinda like watching them for the first time, but I might say to him, oh, I haven't seen this in so long.

没错。

Yes.

或者说：我好久没想起这部电影了。

Or I haven't thought about this movie in so long.

对吧？

Right?

对啊。

Yep.

没错。

Yeah.

那这个现在完成时在这里到底起什么作用？

So what does this present perfect construction do here?

我的意思是，它到底想表达什么？

Like, how does this what is it showing?

我觉得这是在表达一种怀旧情绪。

It shows nostalgia, I think.

通常它都跟某种情感挂钩，比如提到2002年9月那个例子时。

It's usually connected to something because even with the 09/2002 and o example.

我会不自觉地回到十几岁的时候，想着当年看那个节目时的感受。

You know, I I go back in my head to being 17 or 16 and watching that show and thinking of what I thought about all.

我突然意识到，那个节目其实挺深刻的，涉及了很多严肃话题，比如堕胎、自杀这些

I realized that that show is actually very like, they they tackle some very serious topics like abortion and suicide, all these really

挺沉重的话题。

intense topics.

我从来没看过。

I I never watched it.

哦，这样啊。

Okay.

你真没看过？

You never watched it.

我第一次看的时候，根本没觉得他们居然……

And when I when I watched it the first time, it didn't strike me that they were that I don't know.

敢碰这么重的话题。

They tackled such heavy topics.

对啊。

Right.

可能后来的电视剧都变得轻松多了吧。

Maybe TV's just gotten a lot lighter since then.

我不太确定。

I'm not really sure.

但你可以对比一下，那时候的自己和当时注意到的东西，跟现在有什么不一样。

But so you can compare who you who you were then and what you noticed then versus what you notice now.

对啊。

Right.

这能带出好多话题。

There's a lot this can open up.

没错。

Right.

比如，先用孩子的视角看一部作品，再用成人的视角重新看一遍。

And, yeah, watching something like, watching something through a kid's eyes and then seeing it through an adult's eyes.

说起来，我之前聊过，凡是听这个节目的人，大概都知道我最爱的电影是《小鬼当家》。

I mean, for that you know, we've talked I mean, every one who listens to this show would probably know that my favorite movie is Father of the Bride.

我从小到大，看了那部电影大概一百遍，那时候就是个小孩，纯粹当童话看。

And I watched that movie, you know, like, I watched that movie a 100 times growing up from the view of just I'm a little girl.

是的

Yeah.

然后我结婚前又看了一遍。

And then I watched it right before I got married.

当时在机场，一看到就哭了，因为这次我体会得更多了。

And, like, and when I was on gate and, like, and it made me cry because I thought more of that.

你将来肯定也会在女儿结婚时再看一遍。

You're probably gonna watch it when your daughter gets married too.

对吧？

Right?

天哪。

Oh god.

对，没错。

But, I yes.

但我当时哭了，因为终于看懂了父母的心情，还有……

But I cried and, like, because, you know, then seeing the their the parents' emotions and

哦，是啊。

Oh, yeah.

后来我以一个父母的身份又看了一遍，想着你说的，我孩子以后也会这样吗？

Then I watched it again as a parent thinking about, like, what you said, like, my kids getting you know?

换个角度看，真的会不一样，没错。

And so you you see something through the different eyes and and yeah.

不过确实，像你说的，我看过好多好多遍了。

But yes, as you can see, I've seen it many, many times.

这部电影真的特别戳人心。

Oh, that movie just really tugs on the heartstrings.

我还记得我第一次看这部电影的时候。

I remember when I watched that for the first time.

说不好啊。

I don't know.

那时候我大概十二三岁吧。

Maybe I was like 12 or 13.

我爸爸当时在房间里，正好碰到那个特别感人的场景。

And my dad was in the room, and it was like a a sentimental scene.

我爸居然躲进洗手间，好半天都没出来。

And he my dad, like, went in the bathroom and didn't come out for a long time.

等他出来的时候，眼睛都红了。

And he came out with his eyes all watery.

可那时候我才13岁啊。

And like like, I'm only 13.

你现在可别急着结婚。

Now you're not getting married anytime soon.

懂吧？

Know?

天哪。

Oh my god.

这也太感人了。

That is that's so touching.

就是啊，没错。

Like and yeah.

不。

No.

但我懂。

But I get it.

我的意思是，第二个呢？

I mean, what about the the second one too?

你看过吗？

Do you watch?

第二个？

The second one?

看了。

Yeah.

我喜欢那个。

I I liked it.

但我觉得，就像很多电影一样，第一部简直是完美之作。

But I I think just like many movies, the first one is the chef's kiss.

对吧？

Right?

是的。

Yeah.

那部电影

The

第一部总是最打动人心的。

first one is always just the one that hits the hardest.

对我来说，

For me,

那就是点睛之笔。

it's the kiss.

我觉得第二部也差不多跟第一部一样棒。

I will argue that the the that movie is that the second one, I think it's almost as good as the first one.

就是啊

That's just

我是说，黛安·基顿。

I mean, Diane Keaton.

黛安·基顿。

Diane Keaton.

没错。

Yeah.

太棒了。

Amazing.

对啊。

Yeah.

她最近刚去世，对吧？

She passed away just recently, didn't she?

是的。

Yes.

这让我心都碎了。

That broke my heart.

是啊。

Uh-huh.

我也是。

Me too.

对。

Yeah.

黛安·基顿这个人真让人难放下。

Diane Keaton is a hard one.

绝配。

Great match.

唉。

Ugh.

太棒了。

So good.

总之吧。

Anyway.

要是哪天我们聊起《婚礼策划师》，我都能滔滔不绝地说上半天。

I if if ever we start talking about father of the bride, I can just go on and on.

所以，没错，确实如此。

So, anyway True.

不过说到这部电影，我得说，我好多年没看了。

But, yeah, with the movie, I might say, I haven't seen that in so long.

咱们换点别的例子吧，不一定非得是电影。

So let's give other examples, not necessarily with movies.

对啊。

Yeah.

你也可以聊聊好久没见的人。

But you could also just about talking about seeing someone.

天啊，我好久没见到她了。

Oh, I haven't seen her in so long.

对啊。

Mhmm.

或者我好久没读过非虚构类的书了。

Or I haven't read a non fiction book in so long.

是的。

Yeah.

或者我好久没去那个商场了。

Or I haven't been to that mall in so long.

比如，林赛，你还记得小时候被人送到商场逛的时候吗？那时候是不是特别隆重的一件事？

Like, Lindsay, do you do you remember, you know, when you were a kid walking around, did you was it a big deal to be dropped off at the mall?

当然是啊。

It was.

我小时候住的地方根本没商场，我老纳闷：为啥我们镇上就不建个商场呢？

We didn't have a mall in my town, which I always was like, oh, why don't we have a mall in my town?

所以那种情况我可没经历过。

So it wasn't that kind of thing.

我当时可以自己一个人去，但通常都是和我妈一起开车去商场。

Like, I could just get dropped off, but I used to take trips with my mom to the mall.

我们去逛街。

We'd go shopping.

所以我对商场的记忆跟别人不太一样。

So it was a different kind of mall experience I would have.

那得开多久啊？

How far was the

哦，大概两小时吧。

oh, like, two hours.

我们那儿根本就没有像样的商场。

Like, we didn't have a a proper mall.

你们那儿真没有？真的假的？

We have Are you serious?

真的。

Yeah.

我们那儿是基恩，新罕布什尔州的一个小镇，不算特别小，但确实不大。

We we didn't have Keane, New Hampshire is kind of a small town, not a tiny town, but it's a small city.

挺偏的。

Kinda isolated.

所以我们没有那种传统意义上的商场，就只有一个叫殖民地米勒的地方。

So we didn't have a traditional we had like the Colony Mill.

我们有些小工厂，但像那种超大、 sprawling 的大型商场——典型的美国青少年经历，我们真没有。

We had little mills, but like proper malls that are like sprawling and huge, your typical teenage American experience.

我们那儿真没有那种商场。

We didn't have those malls.

天哪。

Wow.

是啊。

Yeah.

对啊。

Yeah.

这太有意思了。

That's so interesting.

对啊。

Yeah.

那就是你的购物中心。

It's your mall.

你一个人熬过来了，还活得好好的。

You did you're you and you lived to tell the tale.

是啊。

Yeah.

那莉兹，你好久没做什么了？

But so, Lindsay, what haven't you done in so long?

哦，这个真不好说。

Oh, that's so that's hard to say.

天哪。

Oh my gosh.

我也不知道。

I don't know.

你呢，米歇尔？

What about you, Michelle?

我正努力想想有什么好久没干了。

I'm trying to I'm trying to come up with something.

我好久没去健身房上过课了。

I I haven't done an exercise class at a gym in so long.

我在家倒是练过，你知道的。

I've done I've done, you know, exercise at home.

我倒是去过一次健身房。

I did do a gym.

就是试了一下，结果他们老给我发消息，实在贵得离谱。

Like, I did a trial and then they keep on texting me and I just I it's too much money.

不过嘛，对。

But like Yes.

对。

Yes.

是啊。

Yes.

都没去过了，太久了。

Haven't done it's been so long.

是啊。

Yeah.

说实话，我好久没上过尊巴课了，我可喜欢了。

I mean, it's been so long since I've taken a Zumba class, which I really enjoy.

以前常去，嗯，那真是挺棒的。

That's something I really I Uh-huh.

以前在波士顿时老去，现在都好久没跳了。

Used to do in Boston, and it's been so long since I've done that.

尊巴可好玩了。

Zumba's fun.

任何类型的舞蹈锻炼都特别棒，因为你根本感觉不到自己在运动。

Any kind of dance exercise is really cool because you sort of forget you're working out.

对吧？

Right?

我最喜欢的就是这个。

That's my favorite, actually.

是的。

Mhmm.

当然了。

For sure.

绝对没错。

For sure.

所以如果你懂的话，我们建议你们课后去练一练，因为这用的是现在完成时。

So you can communicate this if you know, we recommend that you guys go after this because this is present perfect grammar.

以你现在的水平，完全能掌握了。

You're ready for it at your level.

如果你能看懂这个节目，那肯定就能用现在完成时了。

If you can understand the show, you can use the present perfect for sure.

还有其他一些说法，虽然用的词不一样，但也能把语法自然地融入进去。

And then there are other ways you can do it to tie in still tie in the grammar a little bit, but with different words.

那都是些什么说法呢，米歇尔？

What are they, Michelle?

对啊。

Yeah.

比如说‘好久没’，或者‘都好久没’。

Well, saying in forever or just it's been forever.

没错。

So Yeah.

这就是一个现在完成时的例子。

Here's a present perfect.

我好久没跟你聊过了。

I haven't talked to you in forever.

对啊。

Mhmm.

对吧？

Right?

是的。

Yes.

或者好久不见。

Or good to see you.

真的好久没见了。

It's been forever.

真的好久没见了。

It's been forever.

确实好久没见了。

So it has been forever.

挺有意思的。

Really interesting.

没错。

Exactly.

对。

Yeah.

特别地道自然。

So native and natural.

对吧？

Right?

是啊。

Yep.

没错。

Exactly.

或者就是一段时间，几年、几个月、几十年。

Or just in a period of time, in years and months and decades.

我好几十年没读过那本书了。

I haven't read that book in decades.

是的

Yes.

对

Right.

那还能说点啥，米歇尔？

And what else could we say, Michelle?

自从

Since.

我的意思是，你可以说‘自从’

I mean, like, you could say since.

对吧？

Right?

再加上‘自从’

Add on since.

我打小就没看过那部电影了

So I haven't seen that movie since I was a kid.

打我小时候起。

Since I was a kid.

没错。

Yep.

或者说，都好久没过了。

Or you could say it's been ages.

对吧？

Right?

都好久没过了，你还可以再补充一句。

It's been ages, and you could tack on.

咱们一起吃冰淇淋，都好久没过了。

It's been ages since we got ice cream together.

对吧？

Right?

是的。

Yeah.

对。

Right.

没错。

Right.

所以已经很久了。

So it's been ages.

对吧？

Right?

那这‘很久’到底是指多久？

So what does that mean, ages?

‘很久’就是永远、好长时间，可能是几十年，也可能是几周，谁知道呢？

Ages is just again forever, a long time, maybe decades, maybe weeks, who know?

这要看情况，‘很久’可以指很多种不同的时间长度。

It depends on it could it could stand for many different periods of time.

对，就是这样。

Right, exactly.

没错。

Exactly.

所以啊，确实好久没见了。

So ages, but yeah, so it's been ages.

你最近怎么样？

How have you been?

这个例子选得真好。

So a very good one there.

不过呢，这些例子其实都是在讲现在完成时，特别实用。

But yeah, again, all of these are just, you know, we're talking a lot about the present perfect, which is really useful.

对。

Yes.

再说说这种怀旧的感觉，或者你现在的生活状态。

And just this commentary again about nostalgia or, you know, just like how your life is now.

我好久没见到你了。

I haven't seen you in so long.

我好久没做这个了。

I haven't done this in so long.

对吧？

Right?

它真能拉近人与人之间的距离，一方面勾起回忆，另一方面也反映出你眼下生活的状态。

So it can really connect you because it can number one either show nostalgia, but then also kind of show where your life is right now.

比如，我都好久没去上过正经的健身课了，但这也说明，现在我生活变了，有孩子了，在家锻炼更适合我。

Like, oh, I haven't been to a real gym class in so long, you know, but it says, okay, my lifestyle is currently that it's better for me to exercise at home have a kid.

你懂我的意思吧？

You know what I mean?

它真的能打开很多话题。

It's it's all it opens up a lot.

天哪。

Oh my god.

信息量也太大了。

It's so much.

我觉得我们方方面面都在接收感官信息。

I and I think we take in the senses in every way.

比如，要是我走进新罕布什尔州基镇那家以前18岁常去的老咖啡馆，光是那感觉就能勾起一堆回忆。

Like, even, you know, if I were to walk into an old coffee shop in Key, New Hampshire where I used to go as like an 18 year old, like, would just bring back so much.

我都好多年没去过那儿了。

I haven't been there in ages.

但只要我一回去，那咖啡的香味立马就能把我拉回童年，拉回那段想逃离小镇、准备去东京的日子。

But if I went back there, the smell of that coffee shop would remind me of my upbringing, of my life, of wanting to leave that small town and move to Tokyo, getting ready to move.

它一下子就能唤起这么多能让我们产生共鸣的东西。

It just brings up so much that we could share in a connection moment.

对吧？

Right?

你具体说的是哪家咖啡馆？叫什么名字？

Is there a specific coffee shop that you're talking about that what's the name?

叫Hyperion Coffee。

It's called Hyperion Coffee.

我不知道你有没有听说过新罕布什尔州的基镇，但是

I don't know if you know Key, New Hampshire, but

我没听说过。

I don't.

没有。

No.

我只是有点好奇。

I'm just I was just curious.

哦，原来如此。

Oh, yeah.

这名字挺有范儿的。

That's a cool name.

是啊。

Yeah.

不过呢，我知道了。

But, yeah, I know.

生活里真的有好多这种感慨，我爸妈从以前住的老房子搬走之后，我就再也没回去过，你有没有过故地重游的经历？

There are so many things like, yeah, when my parents moved from their, you know, from my childhood home and then you don't go back and then, have you ever gone back?

其实就算真的回去了，感觉也完全不一样，比如回到以前的母校，那时候的课桌椅子都小小的，站在那你只会忍不住惊叹。

I mean, I, you know, when I even have gone back, like, you know, to like an an old school, like where you have smaller desks or smaller seats, and you're like, woah.

这居然

This was

要是现在你再走回初中的走廊里，光是那些储物柜都够你感慨的了。

a Imagine if you were to walk down the halls of your middle school right now, the lockers.

就是说啊，真的是这样

I mean, it's just like yeah.

它会让你真切感受到时间的流逝，还有自己这些年的变化

It just reminds you how time has passed and how you've changed.

你说对不对？

Right?

所以我们确实需要一些语言来把这些感受都讲清楚

So we need words to articulate all of this for sure.

是的。

Yeah.

超强的连接能力。

Huge connection skill.

那我们来角色扮演一下吧？

So should we do a role play?

好啊。

Yeah.

来吧。

Let's do it.

我们就当是老朋友约着喝咖啡，这种情境就会自然出现。

So we are old friends meeting for coffee, and this is where this would really come up.

比如我跟艾玛，我们初中时特别要好，到现在还是特别亲近。

Like, you know, when I meet with my friend Emma, who we're really close friends in middle school, we're still close.

就是那个你跟她开视频通话的朋友吗？

And Is that the one you use Zoom with?

哦，不是。

Oh, no.

是别人。

It's someone else.

是另一个人，不过呢。

It's someone But yeah.

有时候会提到一个名字，我就会想，天啊，我好久没想起这个人了。

Sometimes a name will come up, I'll be like, I haven't thought about that person in forever.

我压根儿就没想过这个人。

I haven't even thought about that person.

我都忘了这人还活着呢。

I forgot that person existed.

你懂的吧。

You know?

就那种普通熟人之类的。

Just like an acquaintance or something.
