嗨，米歇尔。

Hey, Michelle.

最近怎么样？

How's it going?

嗨，林赛。

Hey, Lindsey.

我挺好的。

I'm doing well.

林赛，如果有人送你一次免费度假，你会接受吗？

Lindsey, if someone offered you a free vacation, would you accept?

免费度假？

A free vacation?

当然要，太好了。

Yes, please.

我就知道你会这么说。

That's what I thought.

天哪。

Oh my gosh.

那该有多棒啊。

Wouldn't that be Oh the

天哪。

my gosh.

现在正好是这个节目播出的时候，夏天快到了，我立马就会上船或者登机。

Well, right now when this episode's coming out, we're getting into summertime, so I would be on that boat or that airplane right away.

没错。

Exactly.

就是这样。

Exactly.

所以，当然要答应了。

So yes, please.

今天我们要聊聊，什么时候、该怎么热情洋溢地说出‘好的，太好了’。

So today we're going to talk about how and when to say yes, please, but with an enthusiastic tone.

对啊。

Yes.

甚至可以带点表演的劲儿。

So it could even sound a little bit theatrical.

是的。

Yep.

对。

Mhmm.

如果你性格就是这样，那咱们完全可以往这个方向走。

If that's in your personality, you know, we can take it to that level.

这样表达特别能拉近关系，因为比单纯说‘是’更有感情。

This is great for connection because there's more emotion behind this than just saying yes.

是的。

Yeah.

对吧？

Right?

没错。

Yeah.

光说‘是’得多没劲啊。

How boring is yes?

是的。

Yes.

Exactly.

Exactly.

所以人们能感受到这种能量，和你一起兴奋起来。

And so people can feel that energy and get excited with you.

说到那个免费的假期。

So talking about the vacation, the free vacation.

免费假期？

Free vacation?

当然要了。

Yes, please.

求你了。

Please.

这样说起来更有意思，总比干巴巴说‘免费假期’强。

It's it's just more like, it's more interesting than saying, oh, a free vacation.

那是当然。

Yeah, of course.

对吧？

Right?

没错。

Exactly.

就是这样。

Exactly.

所以大家赶紧点关注，咱们继续往下聊之前先别忘了。

So guys, go ahead and hit that follow button before we get any deeper into this episode.

如果你想听更多All Ears English的内容，答案就是：当然要了。

If you want more All Ears English, the response should be yes, please.

对吧？

没错。

Exactly.

We're out five days a week, so you don't want to miss a single episode.

对吧？

Right?

没错。

Exactly.

没错。

Exactly.

好吧。

So, alright.

这个表达关键在于语气。

So this phrase is all about tone.

我想你肯定很熟悉那种礼貌地说‘好的，谢谢’的方式。

I mean, probably are very familiar with just being polite and saying, yes please.

这么说吧，这属于很平常、很平淡的语气。

So, I mean, this would be kind of a normal humdrum tone.

比如，林赛，你需要纸巾吗？

So for example, Lindsey, do you need a tissue?

好的，谢谢。

Yes please.

对，但这种说法语气要强烈得多，对吧？

Right, so this is a lot more, that's a very different tone, right?

完全不一样。

Very different.

对。

Right.

但如果你在聊一些让人兴奋的事，比如度假，就可以说得更有戏剧性一点。

So, but if you're talking about something exciting like the vacation, you could say it more dramatically.

这就有点像说‘当然了’。

It's kind of like saying absolutely.

所以。

So

没错。

Exactly.

是的。

Yeah.

对啊。

Yeah.

那我问你，Michelle。

So I'll ask you, Michelle.

你想吃巧克力曲奇吗？

Do you want chocolate chip cookies?

好啊，谢谢。

Yes, please.

这问题问得真巧，我知道你特别爱吃饼干。

That was a good one for you because I know you love cookies.

当然吃。

Do.

饼干是我最爱的。

Cookies are my favorite.

对，对，对。

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

其实呢，我们用这句话不光是回应别人的问题。

So the truth is we don't only use this phrase to answer someone else's questions.

很多时候，我们是用它来回答自己心里的问题。

We often use it to answer our own questions.

是的。

Yes.

挺有意思的。

Very interesting.

是的。

Yes.

这些真的很有意思。

Those are really interesting.

没错。

Yeah.

哎呀。

So oops.

不好意思。

Sorry.

我们这么做的时候，通常是在表达自己喜欢的东西，或者自己想要的东西。

When we do this, we're usually commenting something we like or something that we want.

那我们来模拟一个场景吧。

So let's do like like a sample situation.

比如说，你到了一家高档酒店，看到一个牌子，上面写着‘最棒的’。

Could be like, oh, you arrive at a fancy hotel and then you see a sign, oh, this is the greatest.

是的。

Yeah.

你看到一个牌子，写着‘免费小吃’。

You see a sign that says complimentary snacks.

那你会怎么说呢？

So what might you say?

你可能会对自己或者身边的人说：‘免费的食物？’

You might say to yourself or to someone who's around you, free food?

对，太好了。

Yes, please.

是的。

Yeah.

对吧？

Right?

这让我想起《小鬼当家2》里凯文住酒店那段，哦，对了。

It reminds me a little bit of in Home Alone two when Kevin was in the hotel in the Oh, yeah.

他那时候简直啥都有，叫客房服务。

And he was just like got everything, room service.

我能想象他说这话的样子。

I can see him saying that.

我觉得九十年代的时候，这种说法还不流行，他那时候不会这么说。

I think at that time in the nineties, this phrase was not really Yeah.

但感觉那种感觉是一样的。

Trendy, so he wouldn't have said it, but it feels like the same vibe.

对。

Right.

对。

Right.

没错。

Right.

就是这样。

Exactly.

或者还有哪些情况你会

Or what's another situation where you

比如说，你在网上刷着刷着，突然看到超便宜的机票。

Let's say you're scrolling online and you find super cheap flight deals.

对吧？

Right?

那你可能会对自己说，

So you might say to yourself,

从来就没有过促销。

never have sales.

但现在已经不一样了。

But Not anymore.

但确实如此。

But Yeah.

对。

Yeah.

你可能会想，便宜航班？

You might say like, cheap flights?

太好了，赶紧订。

Yes, please.

没错。

Yeah.

赶紧把票订了。

And book those right away.

别拖着。

Don't wait on that.

我曾经遇到过好价格，结果犹豫了，最后没抢到。

I've made a mistake of finding a great deal and then I just waited and then lost it.

你懂的。

You know?

这种事常有。

It happens.

哎呀，不好了。

Oh, no.

是的。

Yeah.

好吧。

Alright.

那还有哪些时候我们可以用这个方法呢，米歇尔？

So what would be another time when we could employ this, Michelle?

对。

Yeah.

你可以在讲故事的时候用‘是的，请’。

So you might use yes, please in storytelling.

对吧？

Right?

我们都知道，讲故事特别能拉近人与人之间的距离，让人设身处地地感受对方的经历，对吧？

So sharing stories is as we know wonderful for connecting And it puts someone else in our shoes, right?

是的。

Yeah.

尤其是当你加入一些幽默的点评和语气时。

So especially if you're adding like kind of a funny commentary and tone.

对。

Yeah.

所以用‘yes, please’能让故事更生动、更有共鸣。

So yes please can make the story more exciting and relatable.

你觉得呢，Lindsay？

What do you think, Lindsay?

是的。

Yeah.

我想看看这会是什么样子。

I'm curious to see how this looks.

我们来演个例子吧。

Let's do a role play to show an example.

好的。

Alright.

讲故事的时候，我们会先问一个问题，然后马上用‘是的，当然’来回答。

So when you're telling a story, we ask a question and immediately answer it with a yes, please.

咱们来看看这会是什么效果。

So let's see what this looks like.

明白吗？

Alright?

好的。

Okay.

Michelle，跟我们说说那个免费旅行的事吧。

So Michelle, tell me about that free vacation.

哦，当然了。

Oh, of course.

有个朋友本来订了墨西哥的一栋别墅，打算住一周，结果突然有工作紧急情况。

So a friend had booked a villa in Mexico for a week, but had a sudden work emergency.

她去不了，又不想让这个机会浪费掉。

And she couldn't make it, but didn't want it to go to waste.

于是就把它让给了我。

So she offered it to me.

我当时就想，免费度假？

I was like, a free vacation?

当然要了。

Yes, please.

是的。

Yeah.

真不错。

Nice.

所以你这个经历挺有画面感的。

So part of your story and that adds color.

让你说的话更吸引人了。

It adds interest to what you're saying.

对吧？

Right?

是啊。

Mhmm.

对。

Mhmm.

没错。

Yeah.

我肯定会给那位朋友送点什么或者帮个忙。

And I'm sure I would get that friend something or offer.

我也希望如此。

I would hope so.

对。

Yeah.

对。

Yeah.

对。

Yeah.

是的。

Yeah.

是的。

Yeah.

是的。

Yeah.

是的。

Yeah.

这在对话中又是一个例子吗？

Would be another example of just in conversation here?

好吧。

Alright.

所以，琳赛，你昨天为什么请假？

So, Lindsay, why did you take the day off yesterday?

我们团队提前完成了所有任务，老板奖励我们，周五不用来上班了。

Well, our team met our deadlines early, and as a reward, the boss told us we didn't have to come into work on Friday.

我第一反应就是：三天假期？

I was immediately thinking three day weekend?

对，太好了。

Yes, please.

是的。

Yeah.

真不错。

Nice.

是的。

Yeah.

真好。

Nice.

太完美了。

Perfect.

我喜欢，我的意思是，Lindsey，现在我们已经聊过它的用法了。

I love I mean, Lindsey, is this so now we now, you know, we talked about how it's used.

你肯定会在外面听到别人这么说。

You definitely will hear this out and about.

现在，Lindsey，这跟你性格相符吗？

And now, Lynn, is it something that's in your personality, Lindsey?

你知道吗？

You know what?

我并不是经常这么说，但我觉得想象自己会这样说，并不牵强。

It's not exactly something that I say all the time, but I I don't think it's that far fetched to imagine saying it.

也许我现在就开始用吧，Michelle。

Maybe I'll start now, Michelle.

也许我会

Maybe I'll

现在就开始。

start now.

好啊，当然。

Yes, please.

好啊，当然。

Yes, please.

没错。

Yeah.

但我认识的人里确实有人这么说。

But but but I know people that say it.

我确实听过别人这么说。

I've heard people say it.

现在这词儿确实挺流行的。

It is definitely in the zeitgeist right now.

当然了。

For sure.

你懂的。

You know?

对。

Yeah.

而且它确实会带出那种戏剧化的语气。

And it just it does go to that, like, dramatic tone.

就像我们之前说的，很有舞台感。

It's so it's theatrical, like we said earlier.

如果你觉得舒服，而且这符合你的性格，那就 definitely 开始这么做吧。

You know, So, if you feel comfortable doing that, then and that's in your personality, definitely start doing this.

不过呢，也不是说你要变成那种动不动就说‘好的好的’的人。

Again, it's it's not something you don't wanna become missus yes, please.

我的意思是，别太过头了。

Like, it's not you know, you don't wanna overdo it.

没错。

Right.

但时不时来一下，挺有意思的。

But from time to time, it's fun.

其实挺开心的，因为这些时刻往往标志着生活中一些让我们特别愉悦的事情。

Well, it's just fun because it also marks moments in life when maybe we're getting things that give us a lot of pleasure.

你知道的。

You know?

我记得以前在纽约切尔西区，每到周四都会去画廊，那时候画廊都免费开放，还提供免费的葡萄酒。

Like, I remember I used to go to the galleries in New York in Chelsea on Thursdays, and they used to have open galleries, and they always had free wine.

那总是特别惬意。

And that was always fun.

那就算是一种场景吧。

And that would be a scenario.

你走进画廊，一看：免费葡萄酒？

You walk into the gallery like, free wine?

好的，谢谢。

Yes, please.

对。

Yes.

是吧？

Right?

免费的东西谁都喜欢。

Free anything.

没错。

Yeah.

免费的东西谁都喜欢。

Free anything.

任何时候进去都好，尤其是当你根本没指望的时候。

Anytime you come in, especially when you're not expecting it.

如果你本来就有期待，那就不一样了。

You're expecting it, and then you that's that's a different story.

这情况不太理想，因为可能跟你的预期不符。

Not a good scenario because maybe it doesn't meet your expectations.

但当你突然发现有免费的餐点摆在那里，或者遇到什么惊喜，那感觉真棒。

But when you're ex like, something is there's a spread there that's free for you or some it's amazing.

这真是人生中挺美好的一刻。

It's a cool moment in life.

对吧？

Right?

是的。

Yeah.

当然了。

Definitely.

而且确实如此。

And it yeah.

而且就是这样。

And it goes yeah.

没错。

Exactly.

我觉得最棒的就是，当你根本没指望的时候。

I think that's the best point is, like, when you're not expecting it.

对。

Yes.

你根本没想到会有便宜机票。

You're not expecting a cheap flight.

你根本没想到能免费度假。

You're not expecting to get a free vacation.

你根本没想到能放一天假。

You weren't expecting a day off.

是啊。

Mhmm.

或者甚至

Or even

现在连一些小事都算上了。

even little things now.

我知道，以前这一直是个传统。

Like, I know that this used to be a big tradition.

以前酒店都会在枕头上放巧克力，但现在大多不这么做了，不过还是有些地方保留着。

Hotels used to put, like, chocolates on your pillow, but they they they don't do that anymore, but some do still.

生活中这些小小的乐趣真的特别珍贵。

So, like, those little pleasures in life are so great.

是的。

Yeah.

你懂的。

You know?

对。

Yeah.

确实都是这些小事。

It is the little things.

哦，那种小小的惊喜，真让人开心。

The oh, little like, what nice little surprise.

对，太好了。

Yes, please.

是的。

Yeah.

没错。

Yeah.

对，咱们来演一段角色扮演，看看整体效果怎么样。

Yeah, let's show how this would look altogether in a role play.

好的。

Okay.

咱们现在是朋友，你受邀参加一个有趣的活动，然后你给我发邀请。

So here we are friends, and you are you are invited to a fun event, and you're sending the invitation to me.

明白。

K?

好的。

Alright.

我们开始吧。

Here we go.

嘿，林赛。

Hey, Lindsey.

有个好消息。

Good news.

我朋友邀请我这个周末去参加一个屋顶晚餐派对。

My friend invited me to a rooftop dinner party this weekend.

要不要一起来？

Wanna join?

免费的食物和美景？

Free food and views?

当然要。

Yes, please.

我知道。

I know.

她总是喜欢搞得很夸张。

She tends to go over the top too.

上次我去的时候，她还请了专业调酒师。

Last time I was there, she even had a professional bartender.

我当时就想，还有特调鸡尾酒？

I was like, fancy cocktails?

当然要了。

Yes, please.

听起来挺有意思的。

Sounds like a fun day.

我一定去。

I am definitely in.

好啊。

Yeah.

谁会拒绝这样的邀请呢？

Who would turn that down?

我的意思是，这还用说吗？

I mean, come on.

对啊。

Yeah.

没错。

Yeah.

当然了。

Yeah.

所以我们这里用了两次。

So here we used it twice.

你邀请我去参加屋顶上的晚餐派对，对吧？

So you invited me to a rooftop dinner party.

是吧？

Right?

我说的是免费食物和美景？

And I said free food and views?

当然要了。

Yes, please.

这里有个有意思的地方，就是我在回顾一下，加入这个团体后，我预期能获得什么体验

So the interesting thing here with the construction is I'm kind of reviewing what it sounds like I'm gonna get when I join

这个团体。

this group.

对啊。

Right.

我其实可以直接说，你是不是想加入？

Mean, I could just say, you could say, wanna join?

我也可以直接说，好啊，我加入。

I could say, yes, please.

但那并不是我们真正想教的表达方式。

But that's not exactly what we're teaching.

我们教的是，你先说出你能得到什么，然后再表示同意。

We're teaching that you're saying what you're getting, and then you're saying, yes, please.

对。

Right.

对吧？

Right?

你是在说，有什么让你觉得特别吸引人的地方？

You're saying like, what is exciting about it?

比如，没错。

Like Yes.

你是在强调，对你来说最让人兴奋的部分是什么。

You're highlighting, like, you know, the most exciting part of it for you.

没错。

Exactly.

晚餐，还有景色。

Dinner, the view.

所以你是在总结，说出那些让你感到兴奋的地方。

So you're you're summarizing it and saying what's kinda giving you that excitement.

是的。

Yeah.

还有住酒店、睡前吃块巧克力？

And the hotel situation, a chocolate before bed?

当然了。

Yes, please.

对啊。

Mhmm.

对吧？

Right?

就是这种事。

That kind

这样的。

of thing.

是的。

Yes.

你经常会听到这种说法。

So you'll often hear it in this way.

就是这个、这个和这个。

You know, the this, this, and this.

好的，谢谢。

Yes, please.

你知道，你是在提问题。

You know, you're asking a question.

所以我提到我朋友的事，她那次可真是闹得有点过头了。

So then I said I was telling about my friend, and she goes over the top and what happened last time.

我说，你是说高档鸡尾酒？

And I said I was like, fancy cocktails?

好的，谢谢。

Yes, please.
