你觉得自己的英语学习遇到瓶颈了吗？

Are you feeling stuck with your English?

我们将向你展示如何通过关注交流而非完美，来变得无畏且流利。你的美国主持人是米歇尔·卡普兰，纽约电台主播；还有奥布里·卡特，雅思高手，他们分别从亚利桑那州和纽约市为你带来精彩内容。

We'll show you how to become fearless and fluent by focusing on connection, not perfection with your American host, Michelle Kaplan, the New York radio girl, and Aubrey Carter, the IELTS whiz, coming to you from Arizona and New York City, USA.

为了让你更好地

And to get your

今天，你将学习那些既可以作名词又可以作动词的单词。

Today, you'll learn about words that are used as both a noun and a verb.

你会学到让英语听起来更自然的策略，以及关于六个最容易让你出错的常见动词的细节。

You'll learn strategies that will make your English sound more natural and details about the six most common verbs that might trip you up.

你有没有听过母语者说话，然后想：单词我都懂，但还是有点摸不着头脑。

Have you ever listened to native speakers and thought, I understand the words, but I still feel slightly lost.

那是因为真实的英语对话不只是词汇那么简单。

That's because real English conversations include more than vocabulary.

有语速、有连读、有文化背景，还有口语化的表达。

There's speed, there's connected speech, there are cultural references and casual phrases.

你的大脑得实时处理所有这些信息。

Your brain has to process all of this in real time.

如果对话有时候让你觉得应付不过来，那可能只是说明你已经准备好进入下一阶段的训练了。

If conversations sometimes feel overwhelming, it may simply mean you're ready for the next level of training.

你好，米歇尔。

Hello, Michelle.

你好吗？

How are you?

嗨，奥布里。

Hi, Aubrey.

我挺好的。

I am good.

你呢？

How are you?

非常好。

Excellent.

我有一个

I have

问题想先问问你。

a question for you to start us out.

好的。

Okay.

你第一次见到别人时，通常会问哪些问题？

What are some questions that you usually ask someone when you first meet them?

哦，好的。

Oh, okay.

我可能会问，嗯，你叫什么名字？

So I probably ask, well, what's your name?

你是哪里人？

Where are you from?

然后这取决于我们在哪里。

And then it depends on where we are.

比如你是怎么认识某某的？

Like how do you know so and so?

或者你今天过得怎么样？

Or how was your day?

各种各样的问题。

Lots of different things.

对，刚认识一个人的时候，大家都想聊得轻松一点，这挺有意思的。

Yeah, it's so interesting when you first meet someone, you want to keep it light.

YouTube上有个关于这个话题的问题特别有意思。

There's a little bit of small We got a really interesting question in YouTube about this.

我来念一下这个问题。

I'll go ahead and read this.

这是来自 Ahmad Raksim 的问题，他说他有个问题想问大家。

This is from Ahmad Raksim, who said, I have a question for you.

当你把同一个词既当名词又当动词用时，感觉怎么样？

How do you feel when you use the same word as both a noun and a verb?

比如“question”这个词，既可以作名词也可以作动词。

Like to question a question.

这样用会不会觉得别扭？

Does it feel off?

这真的很有意思。

So this is really interesting.

这个问题问得很好。

This is a great question.

简单来说，不会。

The short answer is no.

英语里这种情况很常见。

English does this a lot.

我们经常这么用。

We do this a lot.

很多词既是名词又是动词。

Many words are both nouns and verbs.

然后我们靠上下文来理解它们。

And then we use the context to understand them.

而且，有趣的是，我们接下来要聊聊这个，对吧？

And when, this is interesting, we're going to talk about this, right?

我们有时候会质疑一个问题，用的就是那些既能当名词又能当动词的词。

How we will sometimes question a question and we're using nouns and verbs that are used as both.

所以今天我很期待深入探讨这个话题。

So I'm excited to dive into this today.

对，没错。

Yes, exactly.

所以大家，关键就是在对话中自然地使用这些词。

So guys, the key is just using these naturally in conversations.

今天我们要聊一些常见的既能当名词又能当动词的词，以及怎么用它们才显得自然，而不是别扭。

So today, we're gonna talk about some common words that can be both nouns and verbs and how to use them so they sound natural instead of awkward.

因为这很重要，关系到交流的顺畅，因为你当然想听起来自然。

Because this is important for connection because you wanna sound natural, of course.

如果听起来很滑稽，就会打断对话的节奏。

And when something sounds funny, it throws the conversation off.

这样人们可能会分心，不能专注于你想表达的内容，我们可不想那样。

So people can get distracted from what you're actually trying to say and we don't want that.

没错。

Exactly.

这始终是我们的目标。

That's always the goal.

我们说得越自然、越自信，尴尬就越少，交流起来也就越容易。

The more natural confident we can sound, the less awkwardness there will be and the easier it will be to connect.

对。

Right.

这就是目标。

Which is the goal.

所以各位，如果你们和我们一样相信连接比完美更重要，记得点关注。

So guys, be sure to hit follow if you believe like we do in connection, not perfection.

我们教英语，始终是为了帮助你们用英语建立连接。

We are always teaching English with the goal of helping you connect in English.

准备好用英语和同事、朋友进行面对面的交流，建立真正的连接吧。

Be ready for those in person conversations with coworkers and friends to build connections in English.

是的。

Yes.

没错。

Exactly.

好的。

Alright.

刚才听众提到了“question”这个词。

So the listener mentioned the word question.

“question”可以作为名词，表示被问的事情，比如询问。

So questions can be used as a noun, meaning something that is asked, like an inquiry.

比如：还有问题吗？

So for example, are there any questions?

或者：我有个重要的问题。

Or I have an important question.

但“question”也可以用作动词。

But question can also be used as a verb.

对吧，奥布里？

Isn't that right, Aubrey?

没错。

Exactly.

意思是表示怀疑，或者想调查某件事。

Meaning to doubt something or want to investigate it.

比如，我质疑他的诚信。

Like, I question his integrity.

警方盘问了嫌疑人。

The police questioned the suspect.

所以我们听众提的那个问题很有意思。

So this question in our listeners question was interesting.

如果你说‘我质疑你的问题’。

If you say, I question your question.

就好像，哦等等，听起来是不是有点奇怪？

It's like, oh, wait, does that sound strange?

因为我刚才把它当动词用了。其实不会，因为根据上下文，我们完全知道对方是什么意思。

Cause I just used it as a verb ending It actually doesn't because depending on the context, we know exactly what someone means.

我们可能会事后笑一笑，然后说，你懂我的意思吧。

We might laugh about it after it'd be like, you know what I mean.

我是在问你的问题。

I'm asking about your question.

对吧？

Right?

我们意识到这是

We recognize that it's

同一个词，但我们也理解，因为这种情况太常见了。

the same word but we also understand because this happens so commonly.

对，没错。

Right, exactly.

所以，你知道，我们会换一种方式说。

And so, you know, instead we'd say it in a different way.

对吧，奥布里？

Right, Aubrey?

我们可能会说，我在质疑他之前的问题，或者我对他之前的问题有疑问。

We might say I'm questioning his question from earlier or I have doubts about his question from earlier.

我们会意识到，虽然一个是动词一个是名词，但其实是同一个词，这个我能理解。

We might recognize like, okay, these are the same word, even though it's a verb and a noun and I get it.

我们可能会故意改变它的形式。

We might intentionally change the form.

换一种说法。

Change it.

对。

Yeah.

为了避免混淆，或者只是为了避免重复。

In order to avoid confusion or just to avoid repetition.

对，就是这样。

Yeah, exactly.

不过，还有很多其他的词既可以当名词也可以当动词。

So, but there are a lot of other words that can be both nouns and verbs.

所以很酷的一点是，学词汇的时候就像买一送一，因为它们的含义通常相近，只是一个表示动作，一个表示事物。

So it's the cool thing is it's kinda like getting two for one when you're learning vocabulary because they often have similar meanings, but one is the action and the other is the thing.

所以通常不会是完全不同的意思。

So it's usually not just a totally different meaning.

我不会说永远都是这样，但既然我们聊到了“question”，要不要聊聊“answer”？

I'm not gonna say always, but since we did question, should we talk about answer?

当然可以。

Absolutely.

对吧？

Right?

对于“answer”这个词，我们也是这么做的。

We do this as well with answer.

作为名词，它当然就是指对问题的回应。

As a noun, it means the response to a question, of course.

这个答案说得通。

That answer makes sense.

或者她给了一个很好的答案来回答那道作文题。

Or she gave a great answer to the essay question.

在这两个句子里，answer 都是名词。

In both of these sentences, answer is a noun.

对，没错。

Yes, exactly.

但是作为动词，它就是提供答案，对吧？

So, but as a verb, it's to provide an answer, right?

提供一个答案，而这个答案是名词。

To provide an answer, which is a noun.

所以你可以说“你能回答这个问题吗”或者“他回答得很快”。

So can you answer this question or he answered quickly.

没错。

Exactly.

在这两个例子里，它都是动词，对吧？

In both of those examples, it's a verb, right?

他回答问题。

He answers a question.

他回答得很快。

He answers quickly.

所以这个有点难。

So this is tricky.

你可以说，你回答了他的回答吗？

You could say, did you answer his answer?

但和“问题”一样的原因，我们通常不会这么说，为了避免词汇重复，避免混淆。

But for the same reason as question, we wouldn't usually do this to avoid vocabulary repetition, to avoid any confusion.

我们可能会换一种说法，对吧？

We probably would say this another way, right?

也许可以说，你评论他的回答了吗？

Did you comment on his answer maybe?

或者你回答了他所说的话？

Or did you answer what he said?

你有没有评论他说的话？

Did you comment on what he said?

表达这个意思有很多其他方式，可能更不容易造成混淆。

There are so many other ways to say that that would be less potentially confusing.

没错。

Right.

而且我觉得你刚才就说了“comment”这个词。

And I think you just said the word comment.

我们来详细讲讲这个词。

Let's go through that.

这也是一个词。

That's another one.

所以作为名词，comment 就是对某事的评论或意见。

So as a noun, a comment is a remark or opinion about something.

那真是一个有趣的评论。

So that was a really interest that was an interesting comment.

或者我看到了你在我视频下的评论。

Or I saw your comment on my video.

对。

Right.

这里它是作为名词使用的。

It's used as a noun there.

对吧？

Right?

多么有趣的评论。

What an interesting comment.

评论是名词，指那个东西。

Comment is the noun, the thing.

但我们也可以把它用作动词，意思是发表看法或表达意见。

But we also use it as a verb, which means to make a remark or express an opinion.

比如说，她评论了我的演示，或者说他觉得会议太长了。

So for example, she commented on my presentation or he commented that the meeting was too long.

他总是在会议太长的时候发表评论。

He always comments when the meeting is too long.

对吧？

Right?

这里就是动词了。

And there it's a verb.

对，没错。

Yep, exactly.

这很有意思。

And this is interesting.

同样的道理。

Same thing.

我们大概不会说，你知道，他总是评论别人的评论。

We probably wouldn't say like, you know, he always comments on other people's comments.

评论。

Comments.

对。

Right.

就是

It just

听起来有点怪怪的。

sounds strange a little bit.

这点挺有意思的。

This is interesting.

这是艾哈迈德提的一个特别好的问题。

This is a really good question that was sent in by Ahmad.

艾哈迈德。

Ahmad.

因为词汇重复听起来确实有点怪怪的。

Because it does sound a little strange to have any vocabulary repetition.

我们避免这种情况，不只是像这样名词和动词的重复，任何句子都一样。

We avoid this not just when it's a noun and a verb like this, any sentence.

如果同一个词重复出现，我们很可能会改掉其中一处，要么在思考和说话的时候马上改，要么如果是写下来的，我们会刻意去换个同义词。

If we have the same word repeated, we're probably going to change one of the instances either immediately when we're thinking and talking, or if it's written, we're going to intentionally like, let's use a synonym.

让我们改写一下，就是为了避免重复，因为听起来有点别扭。

Let's paraphrase this just to avoid that repetition because it sounds a little awkward.

在这种情况下，可能会有点

And in this case, it could be a little

让人困惑。

confusing.

对。

Yeah.

确实。

Exactly.

说得很好。

Very good point.

很多英语学习者都注重语法。

Many English learners focus on grammar.

他们希望自己的句子是正确的，但流利不仅仅是正确。

They want their sentences to be correct, but fluency isn't just about being correct.

流利还意味着听起来自然，选对表达方式，不用在脑子里逐句翻译就能快速回应。

It's about sounding natural, choosing the right phrase, responding quickly without translating every thought in your head.

这就是为什么有些人语法规则懂得很多，但在对话中仍然感到不自在。

That's why someone can know a lot of grammar rules and still feel uncomfortable in conversations.

真正的流利来自于对语言模式、语调和自然表达的理解。

Real fluency comes from understanding patterns, tone, and natural expressions.

网址是 allearsenglish.com/fluencyscore。

That's allearsenglish.com/fluencyscore.

好的。

Alright.

另一个是access。

Another one is access.

作为名词，它的意思是进入某个地方或使用某物的能力或权限。

So as a noun, this means the ability or permission to enter some a place or use something.

比如，我没有权限访问那个文件，或者只有居民才能进入那栋楼。

So for example, I don't have access to that file or only residents have access to the building.

所以这里它是名词，表示你可以拥有的东西。

So here it's a noun, something you could have.

对。

Mhmm.

但作为动词，它的意思是进入某地或获取某物。

But as a verb, it's to enter somewhere or to retrieve something.

比如，你可以在线访问报告，或者客人可以用房卡进入游泳池。

So for example, you can access the report online or guests can access the pool with their key card.

对，确实。

I mean, yeah.

所以如果你把这两个词放在一起用，我就会想到，你知道的，有时候我需要申请访问权限，比如我们要发给Aubrey的文件，可能是个Google文件。

So if you were to use both of them together, this makes me think of like, you know, sometimes if I need to request access for like a file that we're sending Aubrey, maybe like a Google file.

就像，我不确定我会不会说，我无法访问这个我需要访问权限的东西。

It's like, I I don't know if I would say I can't access this thing that I need access to.

对吧？

Right?

对。

Yeah.

对。

Yeah.

没错。

Exactly.

没错。

Exactly.

还有一个。

Another

没错。

Exactly.

另一个是support作名词。

Another one is support as a noun.

意思是帮助、鼓励或赞同。

It means help, encouragement or approval.

所以可以说“最近非常感谢你的支持”，或者“火灾后我们真的很感谢社区的支援”。

So thanks so much for your support lately or we really appreciated the community's support after the fire.

这两个例子里都是名词。

So a noun in both of those examples.

那作动词呢？

What about as a verb?

对。

Yeah.

所以作为动词，意思是帮助、鼓励或赞同某事。

So as a verb, it's to help or encourage or approve of something.

所以，我支持你的决定，或者让我们支持本地商家。

So I support your decision or let's support local businesses.

所以对，你会看到的。

So yeah, you'll see that.

你的支持。

Your support.

你的支持。

Your support.

什么？

What?

我支持你的支持。

I support your support.

我的意思是，这在语法上是准确的。

That I mean grammatically it's accurate.

动词后面接名词，但把它们放在一个短句里听起来有点怪。

The verb then the noun, but it just sounds strange to have them in one short sentence.

所以换个说法。

So say it another way.

我感谢你的支持。

I appreciate your support.

对。

Yes.

这样也行。

That works too.

没错。

Exactly.

没错。

Exactly.

再来一个。

Let's do one more.

所以这就是计划。

So this is plan.

所以“计划”作为名词，是指一个详细的想法或安排。

So plan as a noun is a detailed idea or an arrangement.

那么，奥布里，今晚有什么计划？

So what's the plan for tonight Aubrey?

或者，我喜欢你对这个项目的计划。

Or I like your plan for the project.

对，这两个例子中它都是名词，但我们也会把它用作动词。

Yeah, it's a noun in both of those examples but we also use it as a verb.

意思是提前决定或安排某事。

To decide or arrange something in advance.

比如，我们计划明天早点出发，或者他们正在计划去墨西哥旅行。

So for example, we plan to leave early tomorrow or they're planning a trip to Mexico.

所以我们总是计划一个计划，但我们通常不会这么说。

So we always plan a plan, but we don't usually say that.

对。

Right.

没错。

Right.

正是如此。

Exactly.

而且就像我们一直说的，我们不想在太近的地方重复使用相同的词。

So and again, as we've been saying this whole time, we don't want to repeat the same words too close together.

所以你会换个说法来表达。

So you'd find a different way to say it.

就像我们今天稍微提到的那样，她给了一个很奇怪的回答。

So again, as we we kinda touched on today, she answered with a weird answer.

你大可以直接说她的回答很怪。

You might just say her answer was weird.

没错。

Right.

直接换个说法，或者像“我们计划了一个计划”这种。

Just rephrase exactly or we planned a plan.

别那么说。

Don't say that.

你可以直接说“我们做了计划”。

You could just say we made plans.

我们做了计划。

We made plans.

或者“她评论了我的评论”。

Or she commented on my comment.

改成“她回应了我的评论”。

Instead, she responded to my comment.

对。

Right.

很多词都有同义词，与其同一个词既当动词又当名词用，不如换个说法，避免词汇重复，或者避免句子听起来怪怪的。

There are so many synonyms for words that instead of using the same word as a verb and a noun, rephrase it to avoid any kind of vocabulary, repetition or a sentence that ends up sounding kind of strange.

对，没错。

Yes, exactly.

那我们来做个角色扮演吧。

So let's do a role play.

现在，我们正在计划去意大利旅行。

So here, we are planning a trip to Italy.

听起来很不错。

That sounds delightful.

是的，确实不错。

Yeah, it does.

你先开始吧？

Want to start us out?

我加入。

I'm in.

好的。

Sure.

那我们开始吧。

Here we go.

我们该开始计划意大利之旅了吗？

Should we start planning our trip to Italy?

是的。

Yes.

我觉得计划里一定要包含一些著名景点，但也要留很多放松的时间。

I think the plan should definitely include some top sites but also lots of downtime.

哦，我喜欢这种平衡。

Oh, I like that balance.

要不要我做个表格，把所有细节都列出来？

Should I create a spreadsheet with all the details?

对，那

Yeah, that

太好了。

would great.

不过我们俩都应该能访问，这样我也能改。

But we should both have access to it so I can make changes too.

哦，那当然。

Oh, of course.

我会把链接发给你，这样你

I'll send you the link so you

也能访问。

can access it too.

太好了。

Perfect.

我会在上面做评论。

I'll make comments.

如果我有任何建议，我会告诉你。

And if I have any suggestions, I'll let you know.

好的。

Okay.

听起来不错。

Sounds good.

另外，我有个

Also, have

关于住宿的问题。

a question about accommodations.

你更喜欢分开住酒店房间，还是我们一起住？

Do you prefer separate hotel rooms or should we share?

让我想想。

Let me think about that one.

我今晚晚点给你答复。

I'll give you an answer later tonight.

好的，没问题，不急。

Okay, sure, no rush.

哦，这趟旅行肯定会很有趣，米歇尔，我很期待。

Oh, this is going be a fun trip Michelle, I'm excited.

对，天哪。

Yeah, oh my gosh.

我真希望这是真的。

I really wish this were happening.

我知道。

I know.

我有点讨厌这种角色扮演，因为太好玩了。

I kind of hate this when a role play is so like so fun.

然后我就想，这不是真的。

And then I'm like, this is not real.

就像你从一个特别好的梦里醒来，对吧？

It's like when you wake up from a really good dream, right?

没错。

Exactly.

就像我希望那是真的。

Like I want that to be real.

对。

Yeah.

我们来过一遍这个角色扮演吧。

Let's go through this role play.

你一开始说，我们该不该开始计划去意大利的旅行？

You first said should we start planning our trip to Italy?

所以这是一个

So it's a

动词，对吧？

verb here right?

我们要计划我们的旅行。

We're going to plan our trip.

这就是动词，表示动作。

That is the verb, the action.

没错。

Exactly.

然后你说，我觉得计划里肯定要包括一些热门景点，但也要留出很多空闲时间。

So then you said I think the plan should definitely include some top sites, but also lots of downtime.

所以是‘计划’这个词。

So the plan.

对，这里它是名词，对吧？

Yeah, it's a noun there, right?

觉得计划里应该包含这些景点。

Think the plan should include these sites.

所以我把它当动词用，然后你在这儿把它当名词用了。

So I said it as a verb and then you used it as a noun here.

这完全正常。

Totally normal.

它们靠得没那么近，所以听起来不别扭，对吧？

They're not so close together that it feels strange, right?

要是你一开始就说‘我们要不要开始为意大利制定一个计划’，那就奇怪了。

It would be weird if you had started like, should we start planning a plan for Italy?

那会很奇怪。

That would be strange.

没错。

Exactly.

然后我说，那太好了，但我们俩都应该能访问它，这样我才能做修改。

And then I said, that'd be great, but we should both have access to it so I can make changes.

在那里它是个名词。

And there it's a noun.

对。

Yep.

然后我说，当然，我会发给你一个链接，你也可以访问。

And I said, of course, I'll send you a link so you can access it too.

所以是动词。

So as a verb.

对。

Yep.

然后我说，太好了。

And then I said, perfect.

如果我有任何建议，我会在上面做评论。

I'll make comments on it if I have any suggestion.

这很有意思。

And this is interesting.

说到在文档里评论，你们很多人现在都在和同事或朋友一起用共享文档。

When we talk about commenting in a doc, we often a lot of you out there are using these shared docs with coworkers or friends.

对。

Yeah.

比如谷歌文档、谷歌表格。

Google Docs, Google Sheets.

有意思的是，如果我们说“我会在里面评论”，把它当动词用，我不会那样说。

And it's interesting if we say, I'll comment in it and use it as a verb that I wouldn't say it that way.

我会说“我会在里面做评论”。

I would say I'll make comments in it.

因为通常我们用动词“评论”的时候，更像是我想跟你聊点什么。

So because often where we're using the verb comment is more like I'm telling you about something.

而说到文档里的评论，我们更多是用它当名词。

And when we're talking about comments in a doc, we really use it more as the noun.

我要加一条评论。

I'm going to make a comment.

所以这里有个很有趣的区别。

So that's a really interesting, way to distinguish there.

但如果你说“我在文档里评论一下”，听起来就有点怪怪的。

Whereas, you know, if you say like, I'll comment in the doc, it almost feels like a mistake.

就好像我本来想说“我对文档评论一下”。

Like I meant, I'll comment on the doc.

就是跟你讲点我的看法。

I'll tell you something about it.

所以虽然语法上没错，但我们其实不太会那么用。

So though it's grammatically correct, we just don't really use it that way that much.

对。

Yeah.

我不会。

I don't.

对。

Yeah.

我觉得不是。

I don't think so.

对。

Yeah.

对。

Yeah.

确实。

It is.

就是这样的细微差别。

So nuances like that.
