我们都有过手头紧的年份。
We all go through years when money is tight.
今天，来学习如何用英语表达这种困境。
Today, find out how to articulate this when you're struggling in English.
你有没有在英语对话结束后想过，我知道我能说得更好。
Have you ever finished a conversation in English and thought, I know I can say that better.
你听懂了所有内容。
You understood everything that was said.
你有想法、有观点，甚至可能有个笑话。
You had ideas, opinions, maybe even a joke.
但轮到你说话时，你的回答比你想说的更短，或者比你用母语表达时更简单。
But when it was your turn to speak, your answer came out shorter than you wanted or more basic than how you would say it in your own language.
这种情况发生在你的理解能力比口语流利度强的时候。
This happens when your understanding is stronger than your speaking fluency.
好消息是，这种差距很常见，而且一旦你确切知道自己的水平，就很容易弥补。
The good news, that gap is very common and very fixable once you know exactly where you are.

嘿，Michelle。
Hey, Michelle.
你今天怎么样？
How are doing today?
一切都好吗？
How's everything?
嘿，Lindsay。
Hey, Lindsay.
我很好。
I'm good.
Lindsay，你生活中有没有觉得只是勉强应付的时候？
Lindsay, was there ever a time in your life when you felt you were just scraping by?
是的。
Yeah.
当然。
For sure.
当然。
For sure.
我觉得我第一次住在纽约的时候，我是说，这对每个人来说都是相对的。
I think the first time I lived in New York I I mean, this is relative for everyone.
对吧？
Right?
比如，你知道，我的家人就在那里。
Like, you know, my family was there.
如果我需要他们，他们会支持我的。
If I if I needed them, they would have been there for me.
但我觉得对我来说，有时候住在纽约，我感觉自己有点勉强维持。
But I think for me, I felt like I was scraping by a little bit at times living in New York.
第一次住在那里的时候，还有第二次从南美回来之后。
The first time I lived there and the second time after I came back from South America.
对。
Yeah.
当然。
For sure.
对。
Yeah.
你呢？
What about you?
纽约确实是个让人感觉勉强糊口的地方。
New York is definitely a place where you can feel like you're just scraping by.
对吧？
Right?
哦，是的。
Oh, yeah.
对。
Yeah.
对。
Yeah.
我是说，当然。
I mean, sure.
比如，我确实有过觉得自己有点挣扎的时候，你知道的，或者，嗯，我刚搬到纽约的时候，我在找工作。
Like, I've definitely had moments where I felt that I was, you know, struggling a bit or yeah, also, I would say when I first moved to New York, I mean, I was looking for a job.
如果夏天过后还没找到工作，嗯，是的。
And if I didn't get one after the summer yeah.
我刚搬去的时候，基本上靠打零工攒钱，租了个夏天的住处。
When I when I moved there, I had basically a summer housing situation that I'd saved up for by temping.
然后如果夏天过后还没找到工作，我就打算搬回家。
And then if I didn't get a job past the summer, I was gonna move home.
哦，天哪。
Oh, man.
真扫兴。
What a buzz kill.
对。
Yeah.
不。
No.
所以，当然，我也很幸运。
So, I mean, of course, I'm I was also fortunate.
而且如果我真的需要，我的家人会帮我的。
And if my if I really needed, my family would've helped me.
但是，是的。
But I Yeah.
你知道，一开始我确实觉得自己在勉强维持，然后我应该找份工作。
You know, I did feel in the beginning like I was just scraping by, and then I should get a job.
所以那还不错。
So that was good.
但今天，我们要聊聊怎么描述那种勉强撑过去的情况。
But today, we're gonna talk about ways to describe when we're just barely managing.
对吧？
Right?
我们勉强维持生计，听起来有点夸张，但可能是真的。
We're struggling to have just enough to to survive sounds a little bit dramatic, but it could be true.
有可能。
Could be.
嗯。
Mhmm.
Lindsay，这通常是指什么？
Lindsay, what is this usually about?
对。
Yeah.
这通常是指财务方面。
This is usually financial.
对吧？
Right?
今天你要学的这些短语，我们讨论的这个主题，大多跟钱有关。
Most of these phrases you're gonna learn today, what we're gonna talk about this theme, is financial.
可能也跟生活的其他方面有关，但基本上都是关于钱的。
It could relate to other aspects of life, I guess, but generally about money.
比如，你有没有足够的钱活下去？
Like, do you have enough money to survive?
对。
Yeah.
没错。
Exactly.
而且，你知道，这对建立联系真的很重要。
And, you know, this is really important for connection.
这非常容易引起共鸣，因为我们可能都经历过为某件事挣扎的时候。
This is super relatable because we can all probably think of a time when we were struggling with something.
如果我，嗯，是的。
And if I yeah.
我的意思是，天哪，当你想到这个世界、财务以及人们经历的所有事情时，你知道，总有一些时候人们只是勉强维持生计。
I mean, gosh, when you think about the world and finances and all the things that people go through, I mean, you know, there are generally times when people are just scraping by.
所以这些，是的。
So these Yeah.
这些短语能快速概括那种经历。
Phrases sum up that experience quickly.
当你使用它们时，人们会立刻明白你的意思。
And when you use them, people know exactly what you mean.
对吧，Lindsay？
Right, Lindsay?
嗯，是的。
Well, yeah.
而且我觉得这些在类似市场活动的情况下也很重要，因为那不只是你一个人的事。
And I think these are also really important for, like, market events where it's not just you.
对吧？
Right?
是所有人。
It's everyone.
我第一次在纽约住的时候，是2002年。
When I the first time I lived in New York, it was it was '2 no.
第二次，在南美待了一年回来后，是2008年。
The second time when I came back after a year in South America, it was 2008.
我是2008年8月回来的，然后9月世界就崩了。
It was the I came back in August 2008 and the world crashed down in September 2008.
对吧？
Right?
我的意思是，那就是房地产泡沫，房地产崩盘。
I mean, that was that was the housing bubble, the housing crash.
对。
Yeah.
而且每个人都在勉强度日。
And everyone was just scraping by.
人们接二连三地失业。
People were losing their jobs left and right.
对吧？
Right?
所以这不只是你个人的问题。
So it's not just about you.
可能是有市场波动。
It's about there could be market events.
也可能有更大的事件发生。
There could be larger events here.
对吧？
Right?
对。
Right.
而且，再说，也可能是在工作中，你的公司只是勉强维持。
And, again, it could also be, like, maybe at work, your company is just scraping by.
是的。
Yes.
所以这不一定是个人问题，就像Lindsay说的那样。
So it doesn't have to be an individual thing, like, kinda like what Lindsay said.
我们马上就会详细讨论这个。
So we're gonna be talking about this more in just a second.

我们的主题，我们发布内容的全部原因，是连接，而不是完美。
Our theme, our whole reason for publishing is connection, not perfection.
我们想向你展示如何随时用英语与他人建立联系。
We wanna show you how to connect around English using English at any moment.
对吧？
Right?
不管犯多少错误，我们都会教你如何去做，如何与人交流。
Regardless of mistakes, we're gonna show you how to do it, how to connect.
对吧？
Alright?
没错。
That's alright.
是的。
Yes.
好。
Good.
好的。
Alright.
那么第一个短语是“勉强维持”，这就是我们一直在提到的。
So the first phrase is to scrape by, which was what we've been mentioning.
嗯哼。
So Mhmm.
就是勉强有足够的钱或资源来生活。
To barely have enough money or resources to live.
所以“scrape by”听起来很随意。
So it it sounds casual to scrape by.
对吧？
Right?
这个词听起来随意，但它传达的是这些压力很大的情况。
The word sounds casual, but it it signals these stressful circumstances.
哦，对。
Oh, yeah.
比如，我刚搬到纽约的时候，就是勉强糊口。
So for example, when I first moved to New York, I was just scraping by.
对吧？
Right?
某种程度上，我们俩都是这样。
That's kind of both of us to some extent.
或者，我们靠一份工资勉强维持生计。
Or Or we're barely scraping by on one salary.
是的，和你的伴侣在一起，你可能不得不做出一些关于金钱的艰难决定。
Yeah, with your partner, you might have to, you know, make some tough decisions about, you know, money.
明白。
Mhmm.
或者大学期间，我靠两份兼职勉强过活。
Or during college, I was scraping by with two part time jobs.
这个国家很多人打两份或三份工。
A lot of people in this country work two or three jobs.
你知道，他们就是这样生活的。
You know, that's just what they do.
对吧？
Right?
为了……但他们仍然只是勉强糊口。
In order to and they're still just scraping by.
对。
Yeah.
对吧？
Right?
嗯。
Mhmm.
对。
Yeah.
所以这个短语常见的场景，对。
So common situations when we'd use this phrase, yeah.
比如当学生的时候，你知道，我在食堂打工。
Being a student, certainly, you know, I'm working at the dining hall.
我一边上学一边工作，或者创业。
I'm working, you know, they have a job while in school or starting a business.
我是说，那个……我确实能感同身受。
I mean, that's I mean, I can certainly identify with that one.
你知道吗？
You know?
我丈夫和我最近开始创业，真的很难，兄弟。
My husband and I recently started a business, and it's hard, man.
很难。
It's hard.
真的很难。
It's really hard.
真的很难。
It's really hard.
不。
No.
这不是一条容易的路。
It's it's not the easy way.
不。
No.
那是肯定的。
For sure.
但什么是容易的路呢？
But what is the easy way?
我的意思是，你知道，同时它也是很有回报的。
I mean, you know, it's it's rewarding too at the same time.
所以，是的，创业确实有很多风险。
So, yeah, there's a lot of risk there starting a business.
住在一个昂贵的城市。
Living in an expensive city.
我的意思是，哦，天哪。
I mean, oh, man.
我刚在Instagram上看到一些东西，它根据在那里存钱的难易程度给城市排名。
I just saw something on Instagram that was ranking cities in terms of, like, like how easy it is to save there.
而最差的一个当然是旧金山。
And the the worst one is San Francisco, of course.
嗯哼。
Uh-huh.
最难存钱的地方就是旧金山。
The hardest one to save money is San Francisco.
因为你的钱大部分都花在房租和加州的税上了。
It's just so much of your money goes to your rent, you know, and taxes in California.
天哪。
Oh my gosh.
是啊。
Yeah.
税。
Taxes.
对。
Yes.
所以，如果你找的工作工资不高，那你只能勉强维持生计。
So or or, you know, just if you have a job that doesn't pay well, you know, you're just gonna be scraping by.
所以再说一次，就像Lindsay说的，有些人可能需要再做一份工作或者别的活儿。
So again, like Lindsay said, some people might need to have another job or other job.
但没错，那样才能勉强糊口。
So but yeah, that's to scrape by.
然后还有一个类似的表达，Lindsay。
And then there's another similar expression, Lindsay.
这个是什么呢？
What is this one?
对。
Yeah.
这里有个短语动词，get by，对吧？
A little phrasal verb here to get by, right?
就是用最少所需的东西来维持。
To manage with the minimum amount of something needed.
我可以靠X勉强过活。
I can get by with X.
对吧？
Right?
所以它比较随意、中性，可能还有点谦虚。
So it's sort of casual, neutral, kind of modest maybe.
我们在勉强度日，但不算舒服。
We're managing, but not comfortably.
我们在生存。
We're surviving.
对。
Right.
对吧？
Right?
对。
Right.
我觉得它没有“勉强糊口”那么夸张。
It's not quite as dramatic as to scrape by, I think.
但它也经常用来形容钱之类的。
But it's often used about things like money also.
所以我们能过得去，但手头很紧。
So we're getting by, but things are tight.
所以如果我说我们勉强糊口，那会让情况听起来更糟糕一些。
So if I said we're scraping by, it makes the situation sound a little bit more dire.
你觉得呢？
Don't you think?
是的，我也这么认为。
Yes, I do.
我同意。
I agree.
对。
Yeah.
过得去，或者说用你的技能来应对。
Getting by or with with skills that could apply to your skills.
我的西班牙语不太好，但还能应付。
My Spanish isn't great, but I can get by.
所以这不总是关于钱的事。
So it's not always about money.
对吧？
Right?
对。
Right.
这关乎能力，无论是赚钱的能力，还是沟通的能力。
It's about like abilities, whether that's ability to provide with money, ability to communicate.
是的。
Yeah.
我觉得这就是一个关键的区别。
I would say that's kind of a key difference.
我的意思是，再说一遍，scrape by 可以用在其他语境，但我确实认为它主要用于钱。
I mean, again, to scrape by, you can use it with other context, but I do think it's mostly for money.
对。
Yeah.
对。
Yeah.
我觉得你说得对。
I think you're right.
所以相比之下，get by 这个词更灵活一些，或者说，用它来指生活中的各种情况。
So whereas get by, it's a it's a little bit more versatile or I I mean, or with get by life in general.
我的意思是，那些艰难的日子里，我们好歹也撑过来了。
I mean, somehow we got by during those tough years.
所以这可能指任何事情，你知道，也许跟钱有关，但也可能是感情上的波折。
So this could mean anything, you know, maybe maybe it is about money, but maybe there were struggles in a relationship.
也许有人生病了。
Maybe someone was ill.
你明白吗？
You know?
就是有一些困难。
There's just some some hardship.
这个意思更复杂一些。
It's a little more mixed.
不太清楚我们说的是单纯的钱的问题，还是其他困难、挑战。
It's a little less clear if whether we're talking about money alone or just difficulties, challenges that that came up.
对吧？
Right?
没错。
Exactly.
对。
Yeah.
想象一下和母语者进行快节奏的对话。
Imagine being in a fast conversation with native speakers.
有人快速说了一句，另一个人插进来，大家都立刻反应。
Someone makes a quick comment, another person jumps in, everyone reacts instantly.
等你完全反应过来对方说了什么，对话早就进行到下一段了。
And by the time you've fully processed what was said, the conversation has already moved on.
并不是你不懂英语。
It's not that you don't understand English.
而是真实的对话节奏很快，充满俚语、语气变化和打断。
It's that real conversations move quickly with slang, tone changes, and interruptions.
流利意味着能够跟上并参与这种自然的节奏。
When you are fluent, it means being able to follow and participate in that natural rhythm.
第一步是了解你目前的英语水平。
The first step is understanding your current English level.

收支平衡。
Make ends meet.
这个我一直觉得挺有意思的。
This one I always thought was interesting.
我们说的是“make ends meet”里的“meet”吗？就像牛肉干那种“meat”？
Are we talking about make ends meet, like the meats, like beef jerky or?
不是。
Nope.
是M-E-E-T。
M e e t.
对吧？
Right?
好的。
Okay.
是的。
Yes.
所以这个短语的意思是，钱刚好够支付一些基本开销。
So this one is to have just enough money to pay some basic expenses.
对吧？
Right?
就是说你没有在存钱。
So you're you're not saving.
也没有做其他什么事。
You're not doing much else.
你只是勉强维持生计。
You're just making ends meet.
嗯。
Mhmm.
而且我觉得，这几乎总是跟钱有关。
And this is almost always, I would say, about money.
你觉得呢？
Don't you think?
对。
Yeah.
我也这么觉得。
I think so.
我也这么觉得。
I think so.
这很常见。
It's common.
说起来很实际，也有点严肃，对吧？
It's practical, and it's a bit serious, right, when we say it.
比如说，在这个城市里很难维持生计。
For example, it's hard to make ends meet in this city.
对。
Yeah.
或者他们打两份工，只是为了维持生计。
Or they work two jobs just to make ends meet.
或者我年轻的时候，我也曾为生计发愁。
Or when I was younger, I struggled to make ends meet.
对。
Yes.
对。
Yes.
然后还有“撑过去”，米歇尔。
And then get through, Michelle.
撑过去就是说，这些短语都表示一种挑战、一种挣扎。
Get through would be, all of these phrases indicate a challenge, a struggle.
是的。
Yes.
对吧？
Right?
没错。
Yep.
对。
Yep.
所以这是指在困难的情况下生存或完成某事。
So this is to survive or finish a difficult situation.
所以这个短语稍微更通用一些。
So this one is also a little bit more general.
而这个指的是情况或经历。
And this one refers to situations or experiences.
所以，对。
So Yep.
你可以用它来谈论像情感状况之类的事情。
You could use it to talk about something like an emotional situation.
例如，和朋友聊天帮助我度过了分手期。
For example, talking to friends helped me get through my breakup.
或者你生活中的压力时期。
Or stressful periods of your life.
我不知道我们是怎么熬过那个压力重重的年头的。
I don't know how we got through that stressful year.
对吧？
Right?
或者甚至像忙碌的工作日这样简单的事情。
Or even something as simple as a busy work day.
所以咖啡帮我度过工作日。
So coffee helps me get through the work day.
或者甚至，我是说，我有一个朋友几周后要跑马拉松，那也可能很难。
Or even something I mean, have friend a who's about to run a marathon in a few weeks and that can be hard too.
那是另一个挑战。
That's another challenge.
所以那是一场艰难的马拉松，但我挺过来了。
So it was a tough marathon, but I got through it.
是的。
Yes.
对吧？
Right?
是的。
Yeah.
这个你会经常听到。
This is this one you're going to hear a lot.
肯定的。
For sure.
就是，你怎么
It's how how did you
挺过来的？
get through it?
你知道，人们会这么说。
How did you you know, people people use this.
对。
Yeah.
这个非常实用。
It's very versatile.
对。
Yeah.
对。
Yeah.
对。
Yeah.
所以我真的很喜欢这个。
So I really like this one.
那我们要不要来个角色扮演？
So should we do a role play?
好，米歇尔。
Yeah, Michelle.
我们开始吧。
Let's do it.
我刚找到一份新工作，这是我大学毕业后的第一份工作。
So I just got a new job and it's my first job out of college.
工资不高，你之前问我情况怎么样。
Not being paid much and you were asking me how it's going.
好的。
Okay.
对。
Yeah.
行。
Alright.
那新工作怎么样？
So how's the new job going?
说实话，我喜欢这份工作，但现在勉强糊口。
Honestly, I like the work, but I'm barely scraping by right now.
对。
Yeah.
第一年可能会很艰难。
That first year can be tough.
我现在加班加点才能勉强维持生计。
I'm working overtime just to make ends meet.
我记得那个阶段。
I remember that stage.
我刚起步的时候也是勉强糊口。
I was barely getting by when I first started out.
希望情况能很快好转。
Hopefully, things improve soon.
会的。
They will.
如果你能熬过这段，到时候一定要要求加薪。
And if you can get through this part, you should definitely ask for a pay raise.
不错。
Nice.
对。
Yeah.
所以，你可能会和某个人进行的那种常见对话，比如一个
So common conversation you might have with someone maybe like a
稍微年长一点的。
Little older.
年长的导师，或者叔叔阿姨之类的。
Older mentor, an aunt or uncle or something.
没错。
Right.
他们已经经历过那些事情，但每个人在刚开始的时候都要付出代价。
Who's already been through those kinds of things, but everyone sort of pays their dues in the beginning kind of.
是的。
Yes.
对。
Yeah.
没错。
Exactly.
嗯。
Mhmm.
第一个“是的”
The first Yes.
事情
Thing
你刚才说的？
you said?
请继续。
Go ahead.
你说，说实话，我喜欢这份工作，但现在勉强糊口。
You said, honestly, I like the work, but I'm barely scraping by right now.
所以这意味着你付不起太多东西。
So this means you're you're not able to pay for much.
你的经济状况不太理想。
Your your financial situation isn't ideal.
对。
Exactly.
然后你说，是的，第一年可能会很艰难。
And then you said, yeah, the first year can be tough.
我说，我加班加点只是为了维持生计。
And I said, I'm working overtime just to make ends meet.
嗯。
Mhmm.
是的。
Yes.
我想知道这个说法是从哪里来的。
I wonder where that comes from, that expression.
我不知道。
I don't know.
展开剩余字幕（还有 94 条）
我不知道这个短语的词源，但我敢肯定它由来已久。
I don't know the etymology of that phrase, but I'm sure it goes way back.
你们可以查一查，看看它到底是从哪儿来的。
You guys, you could look it up and and see where it comes from.
对。
Yeah.
查出来应该挺有意思的。
It'd be interesting to find out.
然后我说，我记得那个阶段。
So and then I said, I remember that stage.
我刚起步的时候，日子也过得紧巴巴的。
I was barely getting by when I first started out.
嗯。
Mhmm.
然后我说，希望情况很快好转。
And then I I said, I hope things improve soon.
然后你说会好起来的。
And you said they will.
如果你能熬过这段时期，你真的应该要求加薪。
And if you can get through this part, you should definitely ask for a pay raise.
这里有个“熬过”，它不仅仅适用于金钱方面的情况。
And there's that get through, which again could apply to more than just money situations.
你不仅仅是在谈钱。
It's it's you're not just talking about money here.
我想你确实是在谈钱，但你也在说你现在的生活整体上有点艰难。
Guess I guess you kind of are, but you're talking about your overall life being a little hard right now.
对吧？
Right?
对。
Yeah.
是的。
Yep.
对。
Yeah.
对。
Yeah.
确实，刚毕业的时候，日子不好过。
Definitely when you graduate, it's it's tough.
外面竞争很激烈。
It's tough out there.
但就像你说的，得先交学费。
But like you said, pay your dues.
事情就是这样。
That's what that's what happens.
所以，这取决于你毕业时经济形势怎么样。
So It depends on what kind of economy you graduate into.
米歇尔，你是哪一年大学毕业的？
Michelle, what year what year did you graduate from college?
大学？
College?
是的。
Yeah.
2009年。
2009.
哦，对。
Oh, yeah.
好的。
Okay.
所以不太好。
So not great.
那真是遗憾。
Sorry for that.
是啊，那确实。
Yeah, that was.
是啊，我的意思是，你毕业的时候正好赶上几十年来最糟糕的经济，对吧？
Yeah, I mean, you had graduated to the worst economy in decades, right?
确实是的。
I mean, yes.
太难了。
So hard.
是啊，
Yeah,
对。
Yeah.
对。
Yeah.
没错。
Exactly.
所以，不是，不是，不是理想的情况。
So not not not ideal.
嗯。
Mhmm.
但是，是的。
But Yeah.
我挺过来了，而且那已经是很多很多年前的事了。
I got through it, and now it's been many, many years since.
是的。
Yes.
你挺过来了。
You got through it.
太好了。
Love it.

Kind of a what not to do episode, which we don't do very much, so that's why you should definitely check it out.
对。
Yeah.
米歇尔，我们今天有什么要点？
Michelle, what's our takeaway today?
今天的要点就是，你知道，我觉得这是一种非常普遍的感受。
Takeaway for today is just, you know, people I think this is just a very universal feeling.
我的意思是，除非有人天生就含着金汤匙，从来没经历过
I don't I mean, unless somebody was just totally born into wealth and they never had to
对。
Right.
你知道，艰难的时刻，那我觉得大多数人都能感同身受，那种挣扎着过日子的感觉，不管是经济上还是其他原因。
You know, have a hard moment, then I think most people can relate to this of this kind of feeling of struggling to get by, whether it's financially or for some other reason.
但是分享这些故事可能会很赤裸，你知道，你可以通过它们和别人建立联系，或者给别人建议，或者试着帮上忙。
But sharing these stories can be very raw and, you know, you can connect with people about them or give someone advice or try and be helpful.
所以这里真的有很多内容。
So there's really a lot here.
是的。
Yeah.
还有一点很重要，需要强调，我很喜欢你说这是普遍的。
And the other piece that's important to emphasize, I love that you said it's universal.
这确实是普遍的。
It is universal.
这个话题能过关，你知道，我们通常说有些话题不该谈，比如钱、性、宗教。
And this topic gets a pat we, you know, we we talk about the norms that you things you shouldn't talk about, money, sex, religion.
这虽然是关于钱的，但实际上是关于挣扎，这是非常人性化的，是普遍的人性。
This is about money, but it's actually about struggle, which is a very human thing, a universal human thing.
所以它能过关。
So it gets a pass.
它是一个可以谈论的关于钱的切入点。
It is a frame into money that you can talk about.
对吧？
K?
没错。
Exactly.
所以我们说过，不要分享你有多少钱。
So we've talked about don't share how much money you have.
不要分享你银行账户里有什么。
Don't share what's in your bank account.
不一定非要分享你赚多少，但你可以分享，而且现在越来越多人在这么做，这是好事。
Don't share necessarily how much you make, but you could and people are doing it more and more, which is a good thing.
但有些东西，你知道，怎么说呢，关于钱有些禁区。
But there are certain, you know, what do you call them, sort of no go's when it comes to money.
有些角度我们是不碰的。
Certain angles on it that we don't do.
对吧？
Right?
对。
Yeah.
对。
Yeah.
所以这个，算是可以聊的。
So so this one, it gets a pass.
是的。
Yeah.
好的，林赛。
Alright, Lindsay.
好，祝你今天愉快，我们很快再聊。
Well, have a great day and I will talk to you soon.
