I am excited.
一切都挺好的。
Everything is good.
希望你最近不错。
Hope you're doing well.
是的，我很好。
Yes, I am.
现在是一年中最热的时候，但我们整天都泡在泳池里。
This is the hottest part of the summer but we are spending a lot of time in the pool.

你好，米歇尔。
Hello, Michelle.
最近怎么样？
How you doing?
有没有感受到夏天的味道？
Are you feeling summery?
有啊。
I am.
天哪。
Oh my gosh.
你知道我有多讨厌冷天吧，林赛。
You know how much I complain about the cold, Lindsay.
你以前就提过。
You've pointed it out before.
你最喜欢哪个季节啊，Michelle？
What is your what is actually your favorite season, Michelle?
是冬天、夏天、春天，还是秋天？
Would you say it's winter, summer, spring, fall?
这问题问得好。
It's a good question.
我想我得选五月，就是五月那会儿。
I I guess I'm gonna have to go with, like, the month of the month my maybe the month of May.
我能不能就选一个月？
Can I just choose one month?
当然可以。
Yeah.
没问题。
Sure.
你可以换个问题。
You could change the question.
好的。
Okay.
不行。
No.
五月真是个不错的月份。
May is a really nice month.
我特别喜欢五月和十月。
I I really like May and October.
我也喜欢十月，因为天气清爽。
I like October too because it's crisp.
真的挺舒服的。
You know, it's really nice.
天气开始转凉，但还不算太冷，有些日子可能还很宜人。
It's like cooling down, but it's not it's not too cold some days maybe,
然后你就想，哦，该穿毛衣了。
and you're like, oh, a sweater.
等你过了十月，就会觉得，哎呀，不好了。
And then, like, by the time, you know, you passed October, you're like, oh, oh, no.
是的。
Yeah.
我也喜欢，因为这时候穿皮夹克正合适。
I also like it because it's cool leather jacket weather.
你懂我的意思吧？
You know what I mean?
你可以穿皮夹克了。
You can wear your leather jacket.
不用穿那种臃肿难看的厚外套，也不用只穿T恤。
You don't have to be in, like, a, you know, puffy, awful jacket, and you don't and you you're not in a t shirt.
正合适。
Suit.
是的
Yeah.
正装。
Suit.
没错。
Right.
就是这样。
Exactly.
我一直是这种感觉。
That's what always feel.
小时候，快到青春期的时候，我有一件亮银色的羽绒服，就是那种。
When I was little, I had well, a teenager, I had, like, it was a puffy silver, you know, one of those.
那时候总觉得自己像个宇航员。
And I just felt like an astronaut all the time.
确实如此。
That's true.
冬天的衣服算不算时尚，我也不太清楚，说实话，我对时尚根本没概念。
Winter clothing is not I don't know if it's really that fashionable, but I don't even know fashion, to be honest.
那咱们还是别聊这个了。
So maybe we should get off that topic.
别管它了。
Never mind.
对啊。
Yeah.
不过你有最喜欢的季节吗？还是我们就只谈这两个月？
So so but do you have a favorite season, or are we just going with those two months for
这两个月。
the two
就我们俩？
of us?
也许是秋天吧。
Maybe the fall.
不是。
No.
我觉得是夏天，因为夏天能做的事太多了。
I'm gonna say summer because just because the possibilities are endless in the summer.
你可以出国旅行。
You can travel abroad.
也可以待在家里。
You can stay home.
几乎想干什么都行。
You can do pretty much anything.
而且夏天工作上通常也没那么忙。
It's also sometimes lighter work wise.
我们夏天一般都会放轻松一点。
Like, we try to take it easy in the summer.
所以我最喜欢的是夏天。
So I'd say summer is my favorite season.
是的
Yeah.
对
Yeah.
没错
Yeah.
我觉得
I'd say
好吧
okay.
总体来说我同意你的看法，不过我本身也特别怕热。
Our overall, I'll agree with you, but I do get very hot anyway.
你确实
You
是啊
do.
我不喜欢
I don't like to
太热
be too
也不喜欢太冷
hot and I don't like to be too cold.
是的
Yeah.
没错
True.
确实
True.
没错
True.
不过今天都快到七月四号了
So but today well, we're approaching July 4 already.
我
I
我知道。
know.
我知道，琳赛，这是你最喜欢的节日。
I know, Lindsay, this is your favorite holiday.
我了解你这一点。
I know this about you.
对吧？
Right?
你特别喜欢七月四日。
You love fourth of July.
当然了。
Of course.
我知道。
I know.
七年了
After seven years
你早该记住了。
You should remember by now.
我知道。
I know.
我真的很喜欢。
I do love it.
我喜欢，万一你们还没听我说过的话。
I love it in case I you guys haven't heard.
我喜欢是因为它很简单。
I love it because it's so simple.
不需要买任何礼物。
Doesn't require buying any gifts.
也不用管家里那些烦人的政治。
Doesn't require any politics of the family.
那大家打算去哪儿？
Who's gonna go where?
对啊。
Mhmm.
没错吧？
Right?
除非你愿意，否则根本不用坐飞机。
No flights unless you want it to be.
你直接去海滩，烤个肉，穿个凉鞋，在后院弄点热狗汉堡，完美。
You could just go to the beach, have a barbecue, backyard, sandals, hot dogs, hamburgers, ideal.
是的。
Yeah.
对。
Yeah.
你说得对，因为并不是所有节日都非得是家庭聚会，非要大家凑在一起不可。
It's you're right about that because it's not necessarily like, some holidays are, like, family holidays where, like, it's thought of to be the family and you have figure it out.
如果你有伴侣，那你
And if you have a partner, you
得好好谈一谈这件事。
have to, you know Have that conversation.
对。
Yeah.
比如，你们打算去哪儿？
Like, where are you going?
这事儿还真挺棘手的。
And and that can be tricky.
所以独立日就比较随意，反正要么和朋友过，要么和家人过都行。
So fourth of July is more like, alright, like, we could be with friends, we could be with family.
没那么大压力。
It's less pressure.
对。
Yeah.
但你通常那天是放假的。
But you you usually have the day off.
这毕竟是个节日嘛。
Obviously, it's it's it's a holiday.
如果正好在工作周，那就是全国性假日。
It's a national holiday if it falls during a week.
所以大家都很轻松，就这么简单。
And so everyone just it's just simple.
我喜欢简单的事情。
I like things that are simple.
你知道的。
You know?
是的。
Yeah.
我懂你的意思。
I hear you.
我完全明白你的意思。
I definitely hear you on that.
所以是这样。
So Yeah.
很快就是七月四号了，现在已经是夏天。
Soon, it is July 4, and we are in summer now.
我们之前一直在做这个季节系列，一开始是从冬天开始的。
So we've been doing, you know, these some these season series, and it started winter in the winter.
对吧？
Right?
那是2023年。
It was 1711.
丑毛衣啊，还有那些冬天才用的词儿。
Ugly sweaters and stuff stuffers.
这都是因为之前我们做过一个YouTube系列。
Phrases you only use in winter, and this was because we had done a YouTube series.
对。
Right.
我们意识到，夏天里说谁是‘守财奴’，这种话根本没人这么说。
We realized that to call someone a Scrooge like, that's not not something you really say in the summer.
对吧？
Right?
所以我们决定，嗯，这样不太合适。
So we decided Right.
这太奇怪了。
That would be weird.
是啊。
Yeah.
这确实会显得很怪。
It would just be it would just be weird.
有些话本来就是特定季节才说的，我们后来才明白这一点。
Like, there are certain things that you generally say only in certain seasons, and we realized that.
所以我们接着做了1711年，到了春天，我们做了1763年，主题是春日恋情和英语表达。
So we went ahead so that was 1711, and in the spring, we did 1763, which was springtime love and English expressions.
今天呢，因为七月四日快到了，我们就来聊聊夏天。
So today, in honor of July 4 coming up, we are going to do summer.
太棒了。
I love it.
而且说实话，今天要给你们看的这些词，你们冬天可别乱用。
And, I mean, yeah, these words that we're gonna show you today, guys, yeah, you probably shouldn't say them in the winter.
我们就这么说吧。
So we're gonna say that.
其实呢，我们选这些词，是因为背后有一种特定的心态。
It's kind of it's because the words we choose come from a mindset that we have.
对吧？
Right?
而这种心态，通常跟季节有关。
And that mindset is usually based on the seasons.
所以这正好合适。
So that's why this is perfect.
没错。
Exactly.
正是如此。
Exactly.
有些词还挺有意思的。
So some of these are kinda funny.
我意识到这些夏天的词有点傻气。
I realize the summer ones are kinda silly.
尤其是第一个。
Especially this first one.
我喜欢这个。
I like this.
我知道。
I know.
我们开始吧？
Should we get into it?
好。
Yeah.
咱们开始吧。
Let's get into it.
第一个， guys，是沙滩身材。
So the first one, guys, is beach bod.
我现在想起来，年轻那会儿，特别是当 teenager 的时候，经常用 'bod' 这个词，评论杂志里那些帅小伙、模特什么的，你懂我的意思吧。
Now I feel like I remember using the word bod more when I was, like, a teenager, like, commenting on guys, like, cute guys, models, you know what I mean, in magazines.
那 'bod' 是 'body' 的缩写吧？
Well, what is bod short for?
就是 'body' 的缩写。
Body short for body.
所以
So if
你有沙滩身材，那就是
you have a beach bod, it
意思是你的身材适合去海滩。
means you have a body for the beach.
对吧？
Right?
如果你是男生，可能有八块腹肌。
Maybe if you're a guy, you have a six pack.
对吧？
Right?
我们说八块腹肌，今天就送你一个米歇尔加分。
We say a six pack, which means you want Michelle bonus for today.
就是腹部肌肉。
It's the abs.
是六块腹肌。
It's a six pack abs.
没错。
Exactly.
对。
Yeah.
没错。
Exactly.
但其实，人们确实会开始讨论这个话题，比如我得赶紧练出沙滩身材，不然别人都要穿泳装了。
But, actually, I guess people do start talking about this beach I need to get my beach bod ready before people start wearing.
是的。
Yeah.
就连在办公室里，跟同事在一起，你可能也不想提这事儿。
Even in the office with your colleagues, you might mean, don't bring it up.
等别人先开口再说。
Wait until you hear it.
但有些关系比较近的同事可能会说，哎，我还没练出沙滩身材呢，本来被邀请去参加派对，但不好意思去，诸如此类的话。
But some of your colleagues closer to you might say, oh, I don't, you know, I don't have a beach bod yet, so I wanted to go to that party I got invited to, but I can't you know, things like that.
对吧？
Right?
是的。
Yeah.
这挺有意思的。
And it's interesting.
我不禁想，随着我们越来越关注身体积极这类话题，这种说法会不会慢慢消失。
I wonder if this is gonna get phased out because as we focus more on, like, things body positivity, you know.
有可能。
It might.
对。
Yeah.
而且，其实没必要那么苛刻地评判别人的身体模样。
Good And, like, you know, just kind of being, you know, not not so critical of Yes.
别太在意别人长什么样。
You know, how people's bodies look.
我猜像‘海滩身材’这种说法，可能会渐渐显得过时了。
Wonder if, like, saying things like beach bod is gonna start to sound kind of, like, old fashioned.
是的。
Yeah.
我觉得它已经开始有九十年代的味道了。
I already think it's starting to sound a little nineties, I would say.
对。
Uh-huh.
对。
Uh-huh.
是的。
Yeah.
是的。
Yeah.
是的。
Yeah.
是的
Yeah.
但确实有必要了解这一点。
But but it is important to know.
所以 body 就是 yo。
So body is yo.
body 有时候会简写成 bod。
Body shortened sometimes to bod.
这还挺有意思的。
So that's kind of fun.
天哪。
Oh my gosh.
不好意思。
I'm sorry.
谁
Who
你用母语说话的时候是这样吗？
are you in your native language?
很能干吗？
Competent?
有趣吗？
Funny?
很有主见吗？
Opinionated?
那你在英语里是怎样的人？
Now who are you in English?
如果你觉得自己在英语里更内向、更沉默、表达更拘谨，那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.
这是因为流利程度和自我认同是连在一起的。
It's because fluency is tied to identity.
当你不确定的时候，就会不自觉地收着。
When you're unsure, you hold back.
当你有所保留时，别人就看不到真实的你。
And when you hold back, people don't see the real you.
你不需要语法完美。
You don't need perfect grammar.
你需要弄清楚是什么在拖你的后腿。
You need clarity about what is holding you back.
只需两分钟，你就能免费了解自己的英语水平，以及是什么拖慢了你的进步。

最近我的电话总是响个不停。
My phone is always ringing these days.
真是够呛。
It's crazy.
好吧。
Alright.
你下一个是什么？
What's your next one?
不是。
No.
我觉得其实是骚扰电话。
I think it's spam calls, actually.
我不知道是什么。
I don't know what it is.
哦。
Oh.
哦。
Oh.
是啊。
Yeah.
这确实是个问题。
That's a problem.
我们这儿也有这种情况。
We we have that too.
是的。
Yeah.
好的。
Okay.
明白。
Uh-huh.
不管怎样，下一个词是‘海滩懒汉’。
Anyway, the next one is beach bum.
对。
Yeah.
那这指的是什么？
So what would that be?
什么叫海滩懒人？
Who's a beach bum?
我觉得海滩懒人就是特别喜欢待在海边的人。
I think a beach bum is like somebody who really likes to spend a lot of time at the beach.
对吧？
Right?
是的。
Yeah.
对。
Uh-huh.
对。
Yeah.
那你说你自己算不算海滩懒人？
So so would you say you're a beach bum?
就是，你经常去海边吗？
Like, do you spend a lot of time at the beach?
不是。
No.
我其实过得很好，首先呢，
I am so well, first of all,
我不住在海边。
I don't live in I do
那也是。
that too.
首先，我住在一个内陆州。
A landlocked state, first of all.
对。
Right.
没错。
That's true.
那是什么意思？
What does that mean?
什么叫内陆国家？
What does that mean, landlocked?
是的。
Yeah.
这个说法真好。
That's a great expression.
一个州或者国家，对吧
A state or country, right
对。
Yeah.
没有通往海洋的通道。
That does not have access to the water.
没错。
Yep.
我们可以想想不同的国家。
So we think about different countries.
比如玻利维亚就是个例子。
Like, Bolivia comes to mind.
它是个内陆国。
It's landlocked.
正好在内陆中央。
It's right in the middle.
根本挨不着海。
There's no ocean ocean line.
对吧？
Right?
是的。
Yeah.
科罗拉多也是内陆州。
Colorado's landlocked.
就算我住在马萨诸塞或者加利福尼亚，也不是这样。
And even if I were living in Mass or cal California, no.
我可不想当个海滩闲人。
I wouldn't be a beach bum.
你呢，米歇尔？
What about you, Michelle?
不是。
Are you No.
不是。
No.
不是。
No.
不是。
No.
好吧。
Okay.
好吧。
Okay.
我觉得我们以前聊过这个，所以我早知道你会怎么回答。
We've we've I think we've talked about this before, so I knew your answer.
挺有意思的。
It's funny.
我老问你问题，你心里清楚。
I ask you a lot of questions, and you know it.
我经常能猜到你的答案，因为我们聊得太多了。
I often know your answer because we've talking days.
不过我们确实已经聊了这么多年了。
But we've been talk well, we've been talking so many years.
我们懂的东西可不少。
We know a lot.
确实如此。
It's true.
确实如此。
It's true.
是的
Yeah.
所以那种海滩闲逛的人？对。
So beach bum yeah.
不是。
No.
我不是那种海滩闲逛的人。
I am not a beach bum.
我更喜欢在木板路上散步。
I prefer I know I I I prefer, like, walking on the boardwalk.
我喜欢待在木板路上。
I like to be on the boardwalk.
那挺有意思的。
That's fun.
去像杰克逊海滩这样的地方
Going to places like the Jersey Shore
是的。
Yeah.
那挺有意思的。
That could be a good time.
但一说到‘海滩闲人’，我就想到那种整天脚踩沙子的人。
But I don't like I'm not like, when I think of beach bum, I think of somebody, like, feet in the sand all day long.
对。
Yes.
你懂的。
You know?
我做不到。
And I can't.
我只是。
I just
真的做不到。
can't do it.
展开剩余字幕（还有 279 条）
是的。
Yeah.
确实如此。
It's true.
你走在海滩上，看到那些人，皮肤晒得黑黝黝的。
You walk past people on the beach, and they've got these dark, dark tans.
是的。
Yeah.
他们一整天都泡在那儿，你就会想，哎呀，这得多难受啊。
And they've just been there all day, and you think, oh, it looks painful.
我要是那样，非得躲在伞底下不可。
If I do that, I need to be under an umbrella.
你懂的。
You know?
我可不想让皮肤直接暴晒在太阳底下。
I just don't wanna have my sun that ex my skin that exposed to the sun.
就是觉得，如果真这么干了，以后肯定会后悔。
Just feel like I'm gonna regret it someday if I do.
是的。
Yeah.
没错。
Exactly.
确实如此。
Exactly.
接下来就是得想办法把肤色晒得好看点。
So the next thing is work on my tan.
琳达，你平时会刻意晒出一身古铜色吗？
So, Lindsay, are you someone who tries to get a good tan?
米歇尔，我以前是这样的。
Michelle, I used to be.
我以前确实是，甚至还犯过错误。
I would say that I used to be, and I even made the mistake.
这说出来有点老掉牙了，还挺尴尬的。
This is gonna date me, and this is a little embarrassing.
我上高中的时候，好几次还去晒过日光浴。
I even made the mistake a few times of going tanning when I was in high school.
哦，是去美容院吗？
Oh, was, like, to a salon.
是日光浴床。
A tanning bed.
对。
Yeah.
就是那种床。
Bed.
那时候我们还不知道有多伤身，不过我可能心里隐隐觉得这事儿挺怪的。
It was before we knew how bad it was, but maybe I still had a hunch that it was very weird.
那是97、98年的事了。
It was, like, 97, '98.
我朋友艾玛说服我去的。
And my friend, Emma, and I, she convinced me to go.
她妈妈经常去，我们就买了护目镜。
You know, her mom was going all the time, and we got the goggles.
我们去了几次，但就是站在那儿，抬头看着灯，或者让光线照在皮肤上。
We went a few times, but you stand there and you just, like, look up at the or you just, like, let the lights come on your on your skin.
唉。
Ugh.
你有没有去过日光浴床？
I don't have you ever been tanning?
我从来没去过日光浴床，但做过喷雾美黑。
I've never been to, like, a tanning bed, but I have been spray tanning.
天哪。
Oh, jeez.
好吧。
Okay.
喷雾美黑。
Spray tan.
这也没好到哪儿去啊，林赛。
So that's not much better, Lindsay.
《老友记》里是不是有一集特别搞笑？
Isn't there a funny episode of friend is it friends?
对，就是那一集。
Oh, yeah.
那集真不错。
That's a good one.
我正盼着你能提到这一集呢。
I I was hoping you might say that.
没错。
Yes.
是啊。
Yeah.
这是我妈妈唯一笑过的《老友记》那一集。
That is the only episode of Friends my mom has ever laughed at.
笑过？
Laughed at?
你是说你妈妈
Are you does your
你妈妈没幽默感吗？
mom not have a sense of humor?
没有。
Nope.
我妈妈其实挺有幽默感的，
My mom has an amazing sense of
就是不够逗她笑。
like, not funny enough for her.
对。
Yeah.
她就是觉得一点都不好笑。
She just, like, doesn't find it funny.
小时候要是看到这个，她其实会笑的。
And as a kid, I mean, if she saw this, she would laugh.
小时候我特别期待《老友记》，总想找一集能让她真正喜欢上的。
Like, as a kid, I would get so excited about Friends, and I would be like I would be looking for the episode that will finally, like, get my mom to be a fan.
我们就会一起看，我笑得特别开心。
And we would just we would just watch it, and I would be, like, laughing.
我总偷瞄她，想看看她有没有笑，可她就那样。
And I would always look over at her to see if she was laughing, and she'd just be like
有意思。
Interesting.
有意思。
Interesting.
明白了。
Okay.
所以呢，
So there's
要求很高。
a high bar.
好吧。
So Okay.
她要求很高。
She's a high bar.
是的。
Yes.
那集终于打动她了。
That episode got her.
直到现在，就在几周前，我们还聊起这件事。
And to this day, like, even just a couple weeks ago, we were talking about it.
所以，
So.
是的。
Yeah.
如果你们不知道我们在说啥，到底是罗斯还是钱德勒？
If you guys don't know what we're talking about, is it Ross or is it Chandler?
是罗斯。
It's Ross.
罗斯。
Ross.
对吧？
Right?
他去喷人造晒黑液，结果站在同一个地方太久。
He goes to get tan spray tan, and he just stands in the same place for too long.
他搞混了使用说明，结果整个人晒得特别深色。
He gets confused about the instructions, and he ends up getting, like, a super heavy tan.
特别特别黑。
Really, really dark.
是的。
Yeah.
这让我再也不想做喷雾美黑了。
That makes me never wanna get a spray tan.
没错。
That's for sure.
是的。
Yeah.
我不是不清楚。
It's not I don't know.
其实我一直都知道，因为在高中那会儿，大家都想晒黑，搞美黑，但我一直皮肤比较白，你要是没注意的话——我一直挺想把自己晒黑的，可后来我学会了接受自己的白皙，因为我见过自己喷完美黑的样子，也见过稍微有点晒黑的样子。
I didn't it didn't it didn't I I real you know, because, you know, in high school and everything, people would wanna work on their tan and this and that, and I would always, you know, I'm rather pale, if you didn't notice, and I would always want to be tan, and I don't know, then I learned to embrace the paleness, because I've seen myself with a spray tan, and I've seen myself when I get even a little bit of color.
真的不适合我。
It's not it doesn't fit.
你懂的。
You know?
你本来就是这样的
Like, you're meant to be
这说得通。
That makes sense.
你本来就是这样的。
You're meant to be.
有道理。
Fair enough.
而且说实话，年纪大了，其中一个好处就是，不管潮流怎么变
And that's one of the gifts of getting older, honestly, is, you know, regardless of the trends
这还用你提醒我吗，琳赛。
Well, I didn't need you to point that out, Lindsay.
是的。
Yeah.
对。
Yeah.
你早就知道了。
You knew that already.
对吧？
Right?
你本来就知道。
You knew that.
是的。
Yeah.
我们可以开始接纳自己了。
We can start to embrace ourselves.
没错。
Absolutely.
我喜欢这个想法。
I love that idea.
对。
Yes.
是的
Yeah.
好的
Okay.
是的
Yeah.
谢谢
Thanks.
因为我年纪大了。
It's because I'm old.
不是。
No.
我 just 在开玩笑。
I'm just joking.
哦，米歇尔。
Oh, Michelle.
别这样。
Come on.
别担心。
Don't worry.
我总会越来越老的，所以真不用在意。
I'm always gonna be older, so don't worry.
好。
Okay.
接下来我们要讲的是夏日恋情。
So the last one we're gonna teach is summer fling.
对。
Yes.
好的。
Okay.
你觉得夏日恋情真的靠谱吗？
So do you think that summer flings are ever a good idea?
首先，什么是夏日恋情呢？
Oh, first of all, what is a summer fling,
米歇尔？
Michelle?
就是一种短暂的关系，通常不太可能持续下去。
Like a quick relationship that usually, like, it's not very realistic that it'll continue.
可能你正在旅行，或者类似的情况吧。
Maybe it's in a maybe you're traveling or, you know, I don't know.
比如坐邮轮，或者一起在夏令营工作之类的。
I couldn't think of a cruise or just, like, working at a summer camp together or something like that.
就是一段短暂的邂逅。
It's just like a fling.
‘fling’这个词一年四季都能用，但‘夏日恋情’特别像那首希腊歌曲里唱的那样。
You can use fling for other times of the year, but summer fling, it's like in that song from Greece.
对。
Yeah.
夏日恋情
Summer fling.
对
Yes.
没错
Yes.
我是说，嗯
I yeah.
一般来说，这种关系很难有好结果
Generally, I don't think they work out.
是啊
Yeah.
但肯定也有成功的例子
But I'm sure there are some.
你觉得呢？
What do you think?
确实有一些例子，我觉得夏天有一种特定的氛围，从这些词里就能看出来。
There are some examples of some I think it's I think summer has a certain and we can see it in these words.
夏天有种轻松的感觉，不那么严肃。
Summer has a certain lightness to it, a lack of seriousness.
对吧？
Right?
是的。
Yeah.
我觉得在人们心里，从阵亡将士纪念日到劳动节这段时间，大家就是可以放松一下，玩得开心点。
I think in people's minds, like, between Memorial Day and Labor Day, that's when you can kind of just goof off and have fun.
但一到劳动节，就连经济、股市都变了，夏天的时候人们都会撤出股市。
But as soon as Labor Day comes around, it's like even in the the economy, the stock market, people pull out of their stocks in the summer.
对吧？
Right?
到了秋天，他们又重新进场。
And then they go back in in the fall.
这种现象到处都能看到。
And so it's it's shown everywhere.
我们就是会放松下来，让自己轻松一下。
We just kind of loosen up and relax.
是的。
Yeah.
所以啊，夏日恋情确实挺好玩的，但别指望它真能发展成什么长久的关系。
So, yeah, summer flings can be fun, but don't necessarily expect it to be something that's gonna turn into yeah.
对。
Yeah.
我还会想到，比如在泳池当救生员，跟另一个救生员之间那种夏天的短暂情愫。
I also think of, like, if you're a lifeguard at a pool, maybe someone else who's lifeguarding, that kind of thing, that kind of summer job fling.
对吧？
Right?
没错。
Mhmm.
对
Mhmm.
是的
Yeah.
没错
Right.
哦，对
Oh, yeah.
救生员
Lifeguard.
是的
Yeah.
就是这样
Exactly.
是的
Yeah.
所以，朋友们，这些表达通常会在夏天来临前或夏天期间用到，但除非你是在讲一个关于夏日恋情的故事，否则平时根本不会提到‘夏日恋情’这种事。
So, guys, these are expressions that you will most likely talk about either slightly before the summer or during the summer, but you're probably not gonna be talking about summer flings unless you're telling a story about the summer Yeah.
大冬天下着雪的时候。
When it's when it's snowing.
大概不会吧。
Probably not.
当然了。
Oh, yeah.
除非你是想回来跟我聊聊去年夏天的那段恋情，那种情况另当别论。
Unless you're going back to let me tell you about my summer fling last summer, right, that kind of thing.
对。
Right.
是的。
Yeah.
没错。
Exactly.
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.
行。
Alright.
我们要去海滩。
So we are going to the beach.
天哪。
Oh, jeez.
好吧。
Okay.
行。
Alright.
我真想赶紧去海边，好好晒个黑。
I can't wait to get out there and work on my tan.
是的。
Yeah.
不过别晒伤了。
But don't get a sunburn.
我可以坐一会儿，但真不是那种喜欢泡在沙滩上的人。
I'll sit for a bit, but I'm not really much of a beach bum.
我大概会去码头那边玩会儿游戏。
So I'll probably spend some time playing games on the boardwalk.
对。
Yeah.
特蕾西也来，她老在念叨她的夏日沙滩身材。
Tracy's coming too, and she won't stop talking about her summer flings beach bod.
天哪。
Oh, boy.
我肯定会散散步，边走边聊这个话题。
I'll be sure to take a walk for that discussion.
好的。
Alright.
不错。
Nice.
所以，没错，挺典型的。
So, yeah, typical.
我们正准备去海滩。
We're getting ready to go to the beach.
米歇尔，你觉得你有可能住在加州那样的地方吗？就是那种海滩文化浓厚的地方？
Michelle, do you think that you could ever live in a place like California, more of a beach culture?
你能想象自己住在圣莫尼卡，或者沿海一带，比如拉古纳海滩吗？
Could you ever live, like, in Santa Monica or on the coast, you know, Laguna Beach?
我觉得也许可以，因为那里还是有不少吸引人的地方。
I think maybe because I think there's still, like, a lot of nice things there.
确实如此。
There really are.
对。
Yeah.
我对那里不太了解。
I I don't know it so well.
我得说，每当我去海边小镇，比如新泽西海岸，都会有那么一瞬间，想着：我是不是该住在海边？
I will say that when I, you know, when I do visit beach towns, even like the Jersey Shore, I have this moment where I'm like, should I be living on the beach?
那儿真的特别让人放松。
Like, it's so my it's so relaxing.
有时候我会想，生活或许会简单一点，然后我就开始搜房产信息，而且……
Sometimes I think, like, life could feel a little bit simpler or something like that, and then I always start looking up real estate, and
然后事情就变得复杂了。
then then things get complicated.
对吧？
Right?
是的
Yeah.
然后我就想，也许夏天待一个月之类的，也不是不行。
And then I think and then I think, like, maybe I could do, like, a month in the summer or something like that.
但一到那儿，真正在那儿的时候，就觉得，哇，真不错。
But then I just I think it's one of those things when you're there when you're there, it seems like, oh, wow.
不过我要是真搬去住，一年到头待那儿，我也不知道自己能不能撑得住。
But if I were to I don't know if I could do it year round.
对。
Yeah.
我懂你的意思。
I know what you mean.
就是海风里的那股咸味，特别有感觉。
It's something about the smell of the salt water, right, in the air.
海风里的盐分对身体和头发真的特别舒缓、放松。
The salt air is really, really healing and relaxing for the body, the hair.
感觉特别好。
Just feels great.
不过，我不确定自己是不是真想一辈子住在海边。
But, yeah, I'm not sure if I would necessarily wanna live full time at the beach.
但谁知道呢？
But knows?
也许下辈子吧。
Maybe another lifetime.
对吧？
Right?
谁说得准呢？
Who knows?
也许吧。
Maybe.
也许吧。
Maybe.
好了，各位，咱们来聊聊这个。
Anyway, guys, well, let's go through this.
所以我说，你说你迫不及待想出去晒太阳。
So I said so you said I can't wait to get out there and work on my tan.
这太常见了。
Very common.
对吧？
Right?
晒太阳。
Work on my tan.
你看，这本身就是一大块内容。
Again, that right there is a chunk.
周五快放暑假假的时候，你肯定能从同事那儿听到这话。
You're gonna hear this from your colleagues on a Friday before a summer weekend.
对吧？
Right?
晒太阳
Work on my tan.
明白吧？
Okay?
这真的太常见了，各位。
Really common, guys.
我说过我其实不算海滩爱好者，意思是我不会一整天都泡在海滩上。
And then I'm not really much of a beach bum is what I said, meaning I don't spend an entire day at the beach.
我还有别的事要忙。
I have to do other things.
对吧？
Right?
没错。
Exactly.
没错。
Exactly.
然后我说她老是跟你念叨她夏天的那些短暂恋情和她的沙滩身材。
And then I said she won't you said she won't stop talking about her summer flings beach bod.
对吧？
Right?
所以这个她有过短暂恋情的人，就是这人的身材。
So this person she has a fling with, this person's body.
是的。
Yeah.
还有可能是一身六块腹肌。
And their six pack maybe.
没错。
Exactly.
如果你们在使用这个应用，就能在文字稿里看到这一点。
And if you guys are on the app, you're gonna be able to see this in the transcripts.
我能理解为什么这段话听起来有点乱，因为我们把两个关键词混在一起了。
I could see how this little chunk could be a little confusing because we're combining two of the keyword.
对吧？
Right?
关键词。
Keywords.
所以是夏天的邂逅，还有那个人的沙滩身材。
So summer flings that person's beach bod.
明白吗？
Okay?
为了说清楚一点，各位。
So just to be clear, guys.
挺不错的。
Good stuff.
今天有什么建议要给听众吗？
Any takeaway for our listeners today?
他们该出去好好享受一个疯狂的夏天吗？
Should they go out and just have a crazy summer?
祝你有个愉快的夏天。
Have a great summer.
好好享受，多留意这些表达方式，当然。
Have a great time and enjoy and these know, listen for these expressions and yeah.
享受好天气吧。
Enjoy enjoy good weather.
好的。
Alright.
不错。
Good stuff.
大家好好享受吧。
Enjoy it, guys.
夏日快乐。
Happy summer.
夏日快乐。
Happy summer.
再见。
Bye.
再见。
Bye.
好的。
Alright.
我最喜欢这集里的表达是‘海滩懒人’。
So my favorite expression from this episode is definitely beach bum.
我最喜欢的夏日活动就是做个海滩懒人。
So my favorite summertime activity is being a beach bum.
一整天待在海滩上，玩水浪，和孩子堆沙堡，打沙排和飞盘高尔夫。
Hanging out all day on the beach, playing in the waves, building sand castles with my kids, playing sand volleyball and spike ball.
这正是我最喜欢的。
That's my favorite.
在海滩上，我就想打沙排和玩飞盘高尔夫。
Sand volleyball and spike ball is all I wanna do when I'm on the beach.
特别有意思。
It's so fun.
不过，
Although,
我得说，我虽然嘴上说在练习这些表达，但其实根本不是这么回事。
I will say that I I will say that I am practicing these phrases, but that is actually not true.
哎呀，这太搞笑了。
Oh, that's so funny.
听众肯定在想，Michelle，这真的吗？
Listeners are like, is that true Michelle?
他们肯定会说，哦，我们以前听过。
They're like, oh, we've heard
你以前可能提过海滩，但Aubrey呢？
you probably talk about the beach before, but Aubrey.
这些都是给Michelle用的例句。
Those are example sentences for Michelle.
这些对我来说都成立。
All of that is true for me.
我喜欢在沙滩上运动，也喜欢在沙滩上闲逛。
I love sports on the beach, hanging out on the beach.
希望你们这个夏天也能做个悠闲的沙滩客，说不定还能来段夏日恋情。
And we hope that you guys are able to be a beach bum this summer and maybe have a summer fling.
这又是本期的一个有趣片段。
That was another fun from this episode.
但就像米歇尔在角色扮演里说的，别晒伤了，记得涂防晒霜。
But like Michelle said in the role play, don't get a sunburn, Use sunscreen
没错，就是这样。
every That's right.
