嗨，奥布里。

Hey, Aubrey.

你最近怎么样？

How are you?

你好，米歇尔。

Hello, Michelle.

你和我一起上节目，真是太有意思了。

This is so fun that you and I are on the mic.

琳赛暂时不在，但你还是会听到她的声音。

Lindsay is out for a little bit, but you'll still be hearing her voice.

我们都很期待她，我也特别高兴能和你一起录音，米歇尔。

We are excited for her, and I'm excited to record with you, Michelle.

是的。

Yes.

我们一定会玩得很开心。

We're gonna have a lot of fun.

不过，Aubrey，你喜欢披头士吗？

But, Aubrey, are you a fan of the Beatles?

我可是个超级披头士迷。

I am a huge Beatles fan.

我父母就是披头士的粉丝。

My parents were Beatles fans.

我丈夫、我孩子，全家人都喜欢披头士。

My husband, my kids, everybody loves the Beatles.

我觉得比起其他乐队，随便挑一首披头士的歌，我都能轻松跟着唱出来。

And I feel like more than any other band, I could, like, name a Beatles song and I could karaoke it pretty easily.

那你呢？

Like, what about you?

我以前经常给我儿子唱披头士的歌，哄他睡觉。

I mean, I used to sing Beatles song with my son just for him to go to sleep.

是的。

Yes.

《Blackbird》

Blackbird

《小BOSS》里的那段太暖心了。

on Boss Baby is so sweet.

哦。

Oh.

他们开始唱起来了

They started singing

《Blackbird》。

Blackbird.

是的。

Yes.

我知道这首歌。

I know it.

对。

Yep.

我这辈子确实唱过。

We did in my life.

我想牵着你的手，这类歌我都唱过。

I wanna hold your hand, all of these stuff.

谢谢。

Thanks.

你有特别喜欢的歌吗？

Do you have a favorite song?

大概吧，我会的。

Probably, I will.

就像那句，我到底喜欢你多久了，谁说得准呢。

And it's like, who knows how long I've loved you.

你知道，我依然爱你。

You know I love you still.

我会等上孤独的一生吗？

Would I wait a lonely lifetime?

你要是希望我这么做，我就做。

If you want me to, I will.

我唱不出来，但歌词我背得出来。

I can't sing it, but I can quote it.

这是

It's the

最动听的一首歌。

most beautiful song.

如果你没听过，是披头士的《Will》。

If you're unfamiliar with, will by the Beatles.

我觉得它收在《白色专辑》里。

I think it's on the White Album.

好的。

Okay.

真是太美了。

It's just so beautiful.

你呢？

What about you?

你最喜欢的披头士歌曲是哪首？

Favorite Beatles song?

很难选，但我真的很喜欢这首歌。

It's hard to choose, but I do really love in my life.

我真的

I I really

喜欢这首歌。

do that song.

对。

Yes.

还有所有电影和文化中的方方面面。

And all of the movies and everything in culture.

《昨日》这部电影太棒了，像是在致敬——不知道你有没有看过，它讲的是如果披头士从未存在，世界会变成什么样。

Yesterday was such a great film, like, paying tribute to I don't know if you saw that, but it was like, what would the world be like if the Beatles had never been a band?

这真是一部出色的电影。

And it's such a great movie.

我其实已经看过好多遍了。

I've seen it so many times, actually.

哦，天哪。

Oh, wow.

太棒了。

That's awesome.

所以，我猜你应该很了解披头士狂热吧。

So, I mean, I'm guessing, you know, you you've you know about Beatlemania.

对吧？

Right?

我的父母那一代特别迷披头士，亲身经历过披头士热潮。

I mean, I know, like, my parents were, you know, into the Beatles and they experienced Beatlemania.

所以今天，我们主要不谈披头士，不过也可以顺带聊聊。

So we're today, we're actually gonna talk not so much about the Beatles, but we can.

我们来聊聊后缀‘-mania’，这个特别有意思，因为它能用在很多不同的地方。

We're gonna talk about the suffix mania, and this is a really interesting one because it can apply to many different things.

对，没错。

So Yes.

各位如果正在收听《All Ears English》播客，记得点个关注，别错过任何一期。

Guys, hit follow wherever you're listening to the All Ears English Podcast so you never miss anything.

好了，奥布里。

Alright, Aubrey.

你应该能给我们解释一下。

So you should be able to tell us.

什么是披头士热潮？

What is Beatlemania?

是的。

Yeah.

这事发生在六十年代，当时人人都疯狂迷恋披头士。

So this happened in the sixties, in the nineteen sixties, when everyone was so wild for the Beatles obsessed.

那是一种文化现象，当时被称为‘披头士狂热’。

It was a cultural phenomenon and formerly known as Beatlemania.

粉丝们成群结队地等候，机场或演唱会现场人山人海。

Fans would wait in droves, huge crowds waiting for them to come in at an airport or their concerts.

有人甚至激动得晕倒了。

People were fainting.

他们当时那种狂热劲儿，现在根本看不到类似的了。

Like, they were so passionate and that there's nothing like that now.

现在像泰勒·斯威夫特的粉丝虽然也很疯狂，但没人会晕倒。

Like, their their Swifties are intense, but they're not fainting.

对吧？

Right?

我也不太确定。

I I guess I don't know for sure.

我的意思是

But I mean

也许是中暑了，但不可能是因为对名人太过情感投入而晕倒。

Maybe from heat exhaustion, but not from, like, being so emotionally invested in a per a famous person.

没错，披头士狂热确实是个标志性的时代，一种文化现象。

I mean, Beatlemania is definitely known as just, like, this really iconic time period and a cultural phenomenon that happened.

那好吧，奥布里，什么是‘狂热’呢？

So let's I mean but so, Aubrey, what is mania?

咱们来拆解一下这个词。

Let's kinda deconstruct this.

是的。

Yeah.

我觉得是一种痴迷吧。

Sort of obsessiveness, I would say.

我想起WrestleMania，这名字就是用来指那些摔跤表演活动的，听起来挺有意思的。

I think of WrestleMania, which is just sort of a fun name for, like, who like, the the name for the actual event of going to, like, these wrestling spectacles.

对吧？

Right?

但说到‘mania’这个词，它其实是个专业术语，指的是对某件事的痴迷。

But it's when you when you talk about, like, mania specifically is a technical term for an obsession for something.

对吧？

Right?

是的。

Yeah.

没错。

Yeah.

当然了。

Definitely.

所以，这个词也可以用在医学语境里，形容强迫症或者病态的痴迷之类的情况。

So, I mean but it can be used also in, like, kind of a more medical way about an compulsion and obsession, things like that.

我们待会儿再详细聊聊这个。

So we're gonna talk about this more.

不过呢，

But yeah.

没错，

Exactly.

比如WrestleMania，这真是个很好的例子。

Like, WrestleMania, that's a really good example.

有时候它就只是个挺有趣的名称。

Sometimes it's just kind of a fun title.

对吧？

Right?

大家都对它着迷。

People are obsessed with it.

这简直成了一种狂热。

There's some sort of craze.

但我还查了其他一些挺有意思的。

But I also looked up some other interesting ones.

比如 Bibliomania，就是对书籍的狂热。

So there's Bibliomania, which is Books.

我确实如此。

I'm yep.

特别痴迷于读书。

Obsessed with books.

这个挺有意思的。

And this is interesting.

每次我查‘mania’这个词，都会跳出郁金香狂热，那是十六世纪荷兰的事儿。

Every time I looked up mania, it came up with Tulip Mania, which was apparently, you know, Dutch and about tulips in the sixteen hundreds.

明白了。

Okay.

到现在还有不少人专门去荷兰看郁金香。

And still people now I know a lot of people go to Holland, The Netherlands to see the tulips.

没错。

Right.

你也可以管这叫郁金香狂热，比如有朋友整天就想着去看郁金香，你就可以说：‘现在是郁金香狂热季了。’

And you could call them, you know, tulip craze or be like, oh, it's tulip mania time when you have a friend that, like, that's all they wanna do is go see the tulips.

正是如此。

Exactly.

你可以先说出具体是什么，再加上‘狂热’这个词。

So you can say what it is and then add the word mania.

所以，你意思是奥布里是这种情况吗？

So Aubrey, essentially, is what you're saying?

你能自己造个词出来吗？

Could it could you make your own word?

当然。

Yeah.

绝对可以。

Definitely.

我经常把前面的词缩短。

Often, I would shorten the initial word.

比如不会说‘巧克力狂热’。

Like, wouldn't say chocolate mania.

我会说‘choco狂热’这样的版本。

I'd say maybe like choco mania.

就像我们说‘chocoholic’那样。

Kinda like we say chocoholic.

我们会把前面的词缩一缩，特别是当它太长的时候，音节太多听起来就别扭。

We'll shorten the first word, especially if it's longer because others it's too too many syllables feel so.

太啰嗦了。

Too much.

对。

Yeah.

太啰嗦了。

Too much.

没错。

Right.

确实有点这样。

It's bit right.

尤其是词比较长的时候。

Especially if it's a longer one.

比如说我现在就特别着迷于Kindle，天天在看。

I mean, I would say like, for example, I could say right now I'm experiencing Kindle mania.

对吧？

Right?

我最近开始读得更多了。

I got I'm a starting to read more.

我就想安安静静地看书。

I just I just wanna sit and read.

可我就是抽不出时间。

I can't.

所以我可以说，哦，是啊。

So I could say, oh, yeah.

我完全明白了。

And I took total hint.

有意思的是，你不会说‘披头士狂热’这种话。

I mean, it's interesting because you wouldn't say like I have Beatlemania.

更准确地说，那原本是个专有名词，后来才成了正式说法。

It's more like that was the name of the actual it kinda became this formal name.

对吧？

Right?

这其实是个用来描述某种现象的术语。

It's sort of a name for a phenomenon.

所以，确实，我们用这个词是有特定含义的。

So, yeah, it is specific the way we use it.

很多说法听起来都挺奇怪的。

A lot of ways sounds strange to me.

对吧？

Right?

如果我要想一个我喜欢的东西，排球就是个好例子。

If I try to think of something I love, volleyball is a good example.

我绝不会说，我得了排球狂热症。

I would never be like, I have volleyball mania.

没错。

Right.

对啊。

Right.

但如果整个文化都，嗯，突然对排球着了迷，

But if the entire culture Yeah.

比如奥运会期间，沙滩排球选手表现特别出色，大家特别兴奋的时候，我们也许就会给某个运动员起个名字。

For some reason became obsessed with volleyball, like, sometimes during the Olympics when the sand volleyball players are so good and people get really excited about it, then we might be like maybe we'd name the certain person.

我们会说，我们现在有‘凯莉狂热’，因为大家都迷上了这位出色的运动员。

We'd be like, we have Carrie Mania because we're, like, obsessed with this athlete who's amazing.

对吧？

Right?

我们会用

We'd use

那种方式开玩笑。

it playfully that way.

是的。

Yeah.

我觉得这个观点特别好。

I think that's a really good point.

我同意。

I do agree.

感觉没那么别扭。

It feels less awkward.

说自己心里有某种狂热，听起来有点怪。

It feels a little awkward to say I there there's this mania, like, amongst myself.

因为一般来说，说到狂热，如果你要自创一个词，那肯定是因为这事在文化上挺大的，对吧？

Because mania, generally, I would say, we do think of it if you're gonna make this up, right, if you're gonna use your make up your own word, yeah, I I think it is when it's kind of a big cultural thing.

很多人都参与其中。

A lot of people are involved in it.

很多人都对此特别兴奋。

A lot of people are excited about it.

没错。

So Right.

对。

Yeah.

比如，有人会说‘我有Kindle狂热’，这其实特别少见。

Think it would even be really uncommon for someone, for example, to say I have Kindle mania.

你只会说：我太喜欢我的Kindle了。

You would just be like, I'm obsessed with my Kindle.

根本放不下。

I can't put it down.

对吧？

Right?

我们还有别的说法。

There are other ways we'd say it.

如果整个社会突然都开始用Kindle，你可能会说，咱们现在流行Kindle热。

If the if the culture in general, like, has a Kindle all of a sudden, then you might be like, you know, we have Kindle mania.

规模更大了。

It's bigger.

感觉这更多是群体行为。

Seems like it's more about a group of people.

对吧？

Right?

是的。

Yeah.

我同意你的看法。

I I agree with you.

我觉得这个观点真的很棒。

I think that that's a really good a really good point.

而且确实，这让我想起当年iPhone刚发布的时候，人人都排队等着买，现在都不一定这样了，但你可以说‘苹果狂热’或者‘iPhone狂热’，完全说得通。

And, yeah, I I mean, it makes me think of, you know, when iPhones, you know, when they used to come out and it was just this big, everybody would be waiting in line, I don't even know if they do that anymore, but you could say, oh, it's Apple mania or iPhone Absolutely.

甚至在新闻里做生活类小专题时，你都可能听到这种说法。

You might hear that on the news even if somebody's doing, you know, a little piece about it, a lifestyle piece on the news.

真的非常有意思。

So very, very interesting.

对。

Yeah.

所以这更多是群体现象，而不是个人行为。

So would say it's less about an individual and more about a group phenomenon.

当然可以拿它来幽默地形容某个人，但一般来说，把‘狂热’加在某个东西后面，意思就是很多人对它着了迷。

You can use it playfully for an individual, absolutely, but in general to tack on mania at the end of something, you're saying that a lot of people are obsessed with it.

对。

Yeah.

是的

Yeah.

当然

Definitely.

好的

Alright.

广告结束后我们再继续聊这个话题。

So we will talk more about this after the break.

好的。

Okay.

不过刚才我们简单提过，这个词也可以用来描述某种医疗或心理状况。

So but as I we kind of touched on briefly a moment ago, it can also be used about a medical or a mental health condition.

比如，窃盗症就是一种无法控制的偷窃冲动。

So for example, I mean, kleptomania is the urge to steal.

有这种症状的人，就叫窃盗症患者。

A person who has this is a kleptomaniac.

是的。

Yeah.

这其实挺有意思的，因为讲的是个人层面的问题。

And this is interesting because this is about the individual.

没错。

Exactly.

当这个词用来描述一种强迫症或个人的心理健康问题时，用法就完全不同了。

That's it's used very differently here when it's an obsession or a mental health condition that one person could have.

没错。

Right.

所以这更像是一个正式的医学术语。

So it's almost like when it's a more formal Medical term.

是的。

Yeah.

医学术语。

Medical term.

这种用法更偏向个体情况。

That's more individual.

还有纵火癖。

So then there's also pyromania.

对吧？

Right?

是的。

Yeah.

就是一种想放火的冲动。

Which is the desire to start fires.

有这种冲动的人，就叫纵火狂。

So a person that has this desire is a pyromaniac.

当然了，我们平时经常用这些词来夸张一下。

And of course, we use these very often to exaggerate.

我记得我弟弟，我们老叫他纵火狂，因为每次露营他都特别想点火。

I remember my little brother, we always called a pyromaniac because he just wanted to start the fire when we were camping.

点着了他还非得凑过去玩，拿棍子捅，我们就说：你真是个纵火狂。

And then he would wanna play in it and poke, and it would be like, you're such a pyromaniac.

他当然不是真有什么病态的执念。

He, of course, wasn't really a pyromaniac that had this obsession.

他就是喜欢火，像很多小孩那样，男孩女孩都一样。

He just liked fire like a little like young boys often do or girls.

小孩子。

Young kids.

就是，哇，火。

It's like, oh, fire.

对。

Yes.

没错。

Exactly.

而且确实挺有意思，有时候我们会用这类说法，比如偷窃癖，不管是不是政治正确，你常能听到人们说，你能想象吧。

And, yeah, it is interesting how sometimes we do for for that type of thing or even kleptomania, I mean, people do whether or not it's PC or okay to say that, that you will hear people saying things like I mean, can imagine right.

如果有人不小心拿了东西，比如从商店出来才发现包里多了一样东西，本来只是拿在手里看看。

If if somebody accidentally steals the is it like they walk out of a store and they realize that they had something in their bag that they were holding or something like that.

他们只是瞄了一眼，结果就带走了，你还能想象他们跟朋友开玩笑说：‘哎呀，我真是偷窃癖发作。’

They were just looking at it and they accidentally and then, you know, I could see them saying to their friend, sorry, I'm a kleptomaniac, you know, but Or you

要是有人没打招呼就从你一包饼干里拿了一块，你也可以拿这个开玩笑。

could joke about it if, like, someone takes a cookie from, like, your packages of cook package of cookies without asking.

你会说：你这人真是小偷成性，没问过就拿人家东西。

You'd be like, you are such a kleptomaniac because you're accusing them of stealing it without acting asking Yeah.

但就是开个玩笑，闹着玩儿的。

But just in a playful fun way.

对啊。

Right.

有时候人们干脆直接叫他们‘klepto’。

And sometimes people even just shorten it to klepto.

没错。

That's right.

还有人会说：你这人是纵火狂，或者你是个小偷。

And pyro be like, oh, you're a pyro or you're a klepto.

就是这么简称的。

It's short for those.

不过当然了，这些说法有时候挺敏感的。

But of course, you know, these can get sensitive.

所以用这些词的时候要小心，万一真有人认识患有这种疾病的人呢。

So be careful with these because if somebody actually does know somebody with that condition

这话说得对。

That's good point.

这其实有点在拿心理健康问题开玩笑。

It it could, you know, it's it's it is kind of poking fun.

就是在拿心理健康问题开玩笑。

It is it is poking fun at a mental health condition.

所以还是得留意一下，不过知道这些词总没坏处。

So, you know, maybe be careful with these, but it's good to know in case you hear them.

所以我现在不会到处拿这些词当笑话讲。

So I I wouldn't run around and start saying those as a joke right now.

是的。

Yeah.

也许可以

Maybe with

只有在非常亲密的朋友之间，你才确定他们不会觉得冒犯。

very close friends where you're very confident that that's not a concern or not something that would offend them.

不过，确实如此。

But yeah, that's true.

你不会随便对不太熟的同事说这种话。

You wouldn't say it to just a coworker that you don't know well.

对，没错。

Right, exactly.

还有一种，我都不太知道该怎么说这个术语

Then there's also I don't even know how to say this one trick

拔毛癖。

Trichotillomania.

拔毛癖。

Trichotillomania.

我从来没听说过这个。

Never heard of this.

我想这是一种想拔头发的冲动。

I guess it's the urge to pull out hair.

我认识一些人，他们要么忍不住想拔头上的头发，要么是睫毛或眉毛。

I know people who either have the urge to pull out the hair on their head or like eyelashes or eyebrows.

我觉得这种现象挺常见的。

So that's very common I think.

是的。

Yeah.

所以这确实是一种让人困扰的状况。

So that's definitely, yeah, a condition that people can struggle with.

那么，奥布里，如果我们不说‘KindleMania’，还有哪些别的说法呢？

So but Aubrey, what are some other ways if we're not gonna say, I have KindleMania.

对吧？

Right?

我们当然不会那么说。

We're not gonna say that.

那该怎么表达呢？

So but what is a way to say that?

我们确实如此。

We're really Yeah.

说得对。

Good point.

我喜欢这个说法，因为我们平时不会用‘狂热’来形容这种个人喜好。

I love that because, yeah, we really don't use mania like that for as for individual things.

我们可能会说，我最近迷上了某样东西。

We might say, I'm on, x kick.

比如，我最近迷上了健康生活。

Like, I'm on a health kick.

我最近迷上了Kindle。

I'm on a Kindle kick.

我最近迷上了Netflix。

I'm on a Netflix kick.

意思就是，我特别喜欢。

Meaning, I like it a lot.

我有点着迷了。

I'm kind of obsessed with it.

没错。

Exactly.

或者说，我染上这个毛病了。

Or I've caught the blank bug.

对吧？

Right?

毛病。

Bug.

就像在这种情况下，‘毛病’有点像一种上瘾似的症状。

Like, when we when a bug in this situation is kind of like the sickness.

对吧？

Right?

但在这里，不是这么回事。

But here, it's not.

我们说‘bug’的时候，其实像病毒，但这里根本不是指真正的疾病。

It's like a virus when we say a bug, but we're not talking about an actual sickness here.

比如，你可以说：‘我染上了阅读的瘾。’

For example, you could say, oh, I've caught the reading bug.

或者有人特别喜欢这部剧，你可以说：‘我染上了《没人想要这个》的瘾’，诸如此类的说法。

Or if somebody really likes the show, oh, I've caught the nobody wants this bug or, you know, some something like that.

你完全可以这么说。

You could say that.

这挺有意思的，就像你说的，‘bug’通常是指疾病。

And it's interesting because, like you said, bug is usually for an illness.

所以你可能会以为这种说法只用于负面的上瘾，但其实不是。

So you would maybe assume this is for negative things that you're addicted to, but it's really not.

我染上了阅读的瘾。

I've caught the reading bug.

我染上了法语癖。

I've caught the French bug.

如果你对学法语特别着迷，这种说法通常指的是积极的事情。

If you're, like, really excited about learning French, it is actually usually for positive things.

是的。

Yeah.

确实是一种兴趣，没错。

It is interest yeah.

这真的很有趣。

And that is very interesting.

还有一种说法是，我正在经历一个什么阶段。

Or one more is I'm going through an x phase.

对吧？

Right?

比如，我正在经历一段恐怖片狂热期。

So I'm going through a horror movie phase.

我最近迷上了瑜伽，类似这样的阶段。

I'm going through a yoga phase, something like that.

对。

Yeah.

我现在就是特别投入这件事。

And this is like, I'm currently into it.

我简直着了魔，但我知道这只是暂时的。

I'm obsessed with it, but I know it's a phase.

估计过一阵子就没了。

It's probably going to end.

没错。

Right.

确实如此。

That's true.

你觉得这种状态对建立联系有什么意义呢？

So why is this important for connection, you think?

聊自己现在特别热衷的事情，真的特别有意思。

Oh, it's so fun to talk about the things we're really excited about right now.

我们一谈起这个就特别有激情，也想听听别人现在在兴奋什么，所以这些表达方式简直完美契合。

We get passionate about it, and we wanna hear what other people are excited about right now for all so all of these phrases are the perfect way to share that.

是的。

Yeah.

没错。

Exactly.

没错。

Exactly.

那我们来角色扮演一下吧？

So should we do a role play?

好啊，来吧。

Let's do it.

我和米歇尔是朋友，正在聊我们即将去迪士尼乐园的事。

Michelle and I are friends talking about our upcoming visit to Disneyland.

我孩子刚去过迪士尼乐园。

My children actually just went to Disneyland.

哦。

Oh.

所以这事儿现在正想着呢。

不过他们是跟爷爷奶奶一起去的。

好的。

Okay.

那我们开始吧。

Here we go.
