你是不是英语懂得挺多，但一到开口说的时候，还是不太自信？

Do you know a lot of English but still don't totally trust your English when it's time to speak?

也许你语法都懂，但在真实对话中，你会犹豫不决。

Maybe you know the grammar, but in a real conversation, you second guess yourself.

你一个词一个词地拼句子，或者因为怕犯错，回答总是很简短。

You build sentences word by word, or you keep your answers short because you're afraid of making a mistake.

到时候见。

See you there.

嘿，Aubrey。

Hey there, Aubrey.

最近怎么样？

What's shaking?

我很好。

I'm great.

你呢，Lindsey？

How are you, Lindsey?

我特别好。

I am so good.

很高兴能回到麦克风前。

Glad to be back on the microphone.

奥布里，你有跟哪些运动队吗？

Aubrey, do you follow any sports teams?

我是说，有没有你特别喜欢的队伍？

I mean, any teams that you love?

我知道米歇尔喜欢那个，叫什么来着？

I know Michelle loves what is it?

好像是尼克斯队吧。

The Knicks, I think.

对。

Yes.

她经常聊尼克斯队。

She talks about the Knicks a lot.

她超爱他们的。

She loves them.

我大概算是会关注ASU的橄榄球队吧。

I I guess I follow ASU football.

主要是因为我的邻居们和我丈夫都特别爱ASU橄榄球。

Mostly just because all of my neighbors and my husband, they all love ASU football.

我最后就跟着去看比赛、参加赛前派对，真的很好玩。

I end up going to games tailgating and it is very fun.

对，赛前派对特别有意思。

Yeah, tailgating is super fun.

ASU赢的时候好玩，但除此之外，我也没有特别死忠的球队。

Fun when ASU wins, but other than that, there aren't really a lot of sports teams that I'm a diehard fan.

你呢，Lindsay？

What about you, Lindsay?

哦，我其实还好。

Oh, not really.

我是说，我住在丹佛，所以人们喜欢野马队，但我来自新英格兰，所以人们喜欢爱国者队。

I mean, I live in Denver, so people love the Broncos, but I'm from New England, so people love the Patriots.

我是说，你知道，我其实不太看体育比赛。

I mean, you know, I I don't really I'm not a big sports watcher.

对。

Yeah.

没错。

Right.

我会支持弱势的一方。

I'm like, I'll root for the underdog.

我就是随便看看，但很多人特别迷体育，还会下注，特别在意某支球队。

I'm like watching whatever, but I don't have a lot of people are like so into sports and they're betting on sports and they really care about one team.

我不是那样的人。

That's not me.

他们是谁赢都开心。

And they're like happy for whoever wins.

有些人每个星期天都坐在沙发上看橄榄球。

Some people are just every Sunday, they're on the couch, they're watching football.

对我来说，这有点过头了。

It's like, for me, it's too much.

我觉得周末还是得有点变化才行。

You have to be able to have some variety in your weekends, I think.

完全同意。

Totally.

但有趣的是，我们的语言，尤其是英语，很多都跟体育有关，有很多体育习语。

But what's really interesting is how so much of our language, so much of English is built around sports, Idioms from sports.

而且我们用来形容大获全胜的说法，在英语里用得特别广。

And the ways that we talk about winning decisively are used in so many ways in English.

所以今天我们就来聊聊这个。

So we're talking about that today.

怎么形容，你知道的，赢得干脆利落。

How to describe, you know, winning something decisively.

可能是比赛、体育、游戏，或者像辩论，或者你知道的，工作上表现出色。

It might be a competition, a sports, a game, or like a debate or you know, doing well at work.

今天我们聊的词汇就是“完胜”。

A solid defeat is the vocabulary we are talking about today.

当你赢得如此彻底，对方根本没有机会。

When you win so decisively, the other person didn't stand a chance.

对，很多这些短语可能起源于体育，但就像你说的，已经应用到职场、你正在做的项目里了。

Yeah, a lot of these phrases might have started in sports but have adapted, like you said, the working world, projects you're working on.

所以把这些用在不同的领域里，会挺有意思的，也是一种很好的表达方式。

So it can be kind of fun, a good way to express yourself by using these in different realms.

是的，我们最近一期节目里其实讲过“stand a chance”这个说法。

Yes, and we actually taught stand a chance in a recent episode.

如果你错过了那一期，就听到最后吧。

So stay to the end if you missed that.

我们会分享细节的。

We'll share details.

但这对于建立联系很有帮助，因为就像我们说的，人们热爱体育和竞争。

But this is great for connection because as we said people love sports and competition.

他们对此充满热情，但人们也喜欢赢，喜欢感受成功。

They feel very passionately but people also just love to win, to feel successful.

林赛，我觉得这就是为什么很多这样的短语在英语中被广泛采用。

I think that's why, Lindsey, a lot of these phrases have been adopted elsewhere in English.

庆祝胜利很有趣，分享那种“是的”的感觉也很棒，

It's fun to celebrate a win and share that Yes, with

当你说出这个短语时，感觉很好。

the feeling and you say the phrase, it feels good.

而这确实能建立那种联系。

And that does build that connection.

对。

Right.

你肯定不想错过这个系列，对吧？

And you don't want to miss this series, right?

这是一个分为两部分的系列，这是第一部分。

This is a part one of a part two two part series.

但第二部分会在哪里讲呢，Aubrey？

But part two is going to be where, Aubrey?

会在商务英语节目里讲。

It's going to be on Business English.

所以一定要关注商务英语播客，这样就不会错过这个系列的第二部分了。

So be sure to also follow the Business English podcast so that you don't miss part two of this series.

我们经常这样做，在这里分享我们日常对话中更常用的短语。

We often will do this where we're sharing the phrases we use more in daily conversations here.

然后在商务英语节目里，我们会分享一些在工作中更常用的短语。

And then over on Business English, we'll share some of the phrases that we use more at work.

所以一定要两个播客都关注。

So be sure that you're following both podcasts.

好的，那真是好东西。

Okay, so that's good stuff.

各位，点一下关注按钮，我很期待今天的内容，Aubrey。

Guys, hit that follow button and I'm excited to get into this today, Aubrey.

我的意思是，有哪些说法可以形容大获全胜？

I mean, are some of the ways that we could describe winning decisively?

你怎么看？

What would you say?

对，我们想快速分享一下“blew them away”这个说法。

Yeah, so we want to quickly share about blew them away.

我们经常说“你让某人刮目相看”，最近在All Ears English第556期“别忽视短语动词”中也分享过这个。

We say this a lot, that you blew someone away and we also shared this recently on All Ears English 20 five-fifty six, don't blow off phrasal verbs.

我们讲过“blew away”，你可以去那里了解更多细节，但这里举一个简单的例子，你可能会说，我们队在下半场把他们打得落花流水。

We covered blew away, so you can find more details about that one, but one quick example here you might say, our team blew them away in the second half.

那根本就不是一场势均力敌的比赛。

It wasn't even a fair fight.

所以这不适用于比分接近的比赛，对吧？

So this isn't for games that are close, right?

它的意思是你真的赢了很多。

It means you really won by a lot.

对，比如如果你是网球选手，你以6比0、6比0赢了，对吧？

Yeah, like if you're a tennis player, you won six-zero, six-zero, right?

连续两盘直落。

Double straight sets.

没错。

Exactly.

对，很棒。

Yeah, good stuff.

那么，奥布里，我们还能说哪些其他的表达呢？

So, what are other things we could say then Aubrey?

对，下一个说法是彻底打败某人。

Yeah, so the next one is to beat someone soundly.

这个副词“soundly”意思是某人赢得非常明确，毫无疑问谁更厉害。

This adverb soundly means someone is a clear winner, There is no doubt who was better.

比如，主队以四比零彻底击败了他们。

So for example, the home team beat them soundly four-zero.

或者她在辩论中彻底击败了对手。

Or she beat her opponent soundly in the debate.

这甚至可以用在工作场合，比如某人是明显的候选人，经过小组面试、几轮面试后，明显会被选中的人。

This could even be at work if someone is like a clear candidate, the clear candidate to be chosen after maybe a panel interview, several rounds of interviews.

你可能会对同事说，你知道吗，他会被录用我一点也不意外。

You might say this to a coworker like, you know what, I'm not surprised he was hired.

他真的彻底打败了所有人。

He really beat everyone soundly.

这跟实际的体育比赛或者你真正做过的事情没什么关系。

And it has nothing to do with like an actual sport or something you actually did.

我们只是用这个短语来表示某人是明显的赢家，是明确的选择。

We just use this phrase just to mean someone was the clear winner, the clear choice.

对。

Yeah.

这个说法比我们接下来要讲的几个要正式一些，对吧？

It is a little bit more formal than the other ones that we're going to talk about now, right?

我们要给听众介绍一些比较随意的说法，但对我来说，这个“beat them soundly”感觉更高级或者更正式一些。

We're going to give our listeners some pretty casual ones, but for me this beat them soundly feels a little more fancy or formal to me.

确实更正式。

Definitely more formal.

我觉得我们经常在政治辩论中用到这个说法。

I feel like we talk about this with political debates.

我们会说某个政治家彻底击败了另一个。

We'll say one politician beat the other one soundly.

这个副词“soundly”在英语中比较正式，也比较少见，表示某事发生得很彻底。

That adverb is a little more formal and rare in English soundly for something to happen soundly.

所以我觉得这个词确实让这里的用词显得更高级一些。

So I think that really elevates the vocabulary here for that one.

对，但下一个词我特别喜欢。

Yeah, but the next one, I love it.

特别有意思。

It's so fun.

Smoked。

Smoked.

这个词真的很有意思，对吧？

So this is really fun, right?

就是轻松击败某人。

To defeat someone very easily.

几乎让人觉得毫不费力。

So almost makes it feel like it was effortless.

我们在决赛里把他们打得落花流水。

We smoked them in the finals.

那根本不算接近。

It wasn't even close.

又是那种六比零、六比零的情况。

Again, it's that six-zero-six-zero situation.

对。

Yes.

我开始和我儿子下棋了，他赢了的时候最喜欢说这句话。

I've started playing chess with my son and this is his favorite thing to say when he wins.

他会说，完胜你。

He'll be like, Smoked you.

意思就是说我彻底赢了你，或者就是我赢了，但这样说很有趣。

It means like, I beat you soundly or like, I won, but it's a fun way to say it.

那太棒了。

That's awesome.

我喜欢这个。

I love that.

说到下棋，再举个例子，他以为自己会赢下这盘棋，结果被她彻底碾压了。

Speaking of chess, another example, he thought he'd win the chess match but she totally smoked him.

所以呢，这种说法非常随意，非常口语化，但挺常见的。

So yeah, this is very casual, very informal but it's pretty common.

我也经常这么说，比如“他把我虐惨了”意思就是他赢了我很多。

I say this a lot too like, oh he smoked me means he beat me by a lot.

被虐惨了最难受了。

It's the worst to get smoked.

这种事常有，常有。

It happens, it happens.

常有的事。

It happens.

或者被碾压。

Or crushed.

被碾压也特别惨。

It's also really bad to get crushed.

对，这指的是在比赛中以非常悬殊的方式彻底输掉。

Right again, this is to completely lose a competition in a very drastic way.

没错。

Exactly.

我觉得这个词挺强烈的，情绪色彩很重，对吧？

It's kind of strong and emotional I would say right?

它确实既适用于体育，也适用于日常生活中的各种情况。

Definitely works both for sports and everyday situations.

我们可能会说他们这个赛季碾压了对手，或者你知道的，我们队昨晚被碾压了。

We might say they crushed the competition this season or you know our team got crushed last night.

说实话，那场比赛看得真难受。

It was honestly rough to watch.

但我们也会用“crushed”来形容情感上受到打击，对吧？

But we'll also talk about being crushed sort of emotionally by something, right?

对，比如当我们说没得到那份工作让我深受打击，就可以这么用。

Yeah, so when I didn't get the job it really crushed me, we could say.

奥布里，你会这么说吗？

Would you say that Aubrey?

是的，我会这么说。

Yeah, I would say that.

对，没得到那份工作的时候，我确实很受打击。

Yes, I was crushed when I didn't get the job.

或者说，那件事让我很崩溃。

Or it crushed me.

没错，对吧？

Absolutely, right?

所以这个词既可以用在比赛失利上，也可以用在任何对我们影响很大的失去上。

So we use this both for like losing at a competition and also any kind of loss that just really affects us.

这是一种很强烈或者很情绪化的失去。

It's a pretty powerful or emotional loss.

对，但大家要注意，这和说你对某人有好感是完全不同的。

Yeah, but be careful guys because this is different from saying you have a crush on someone.

那不一样。

That's different.

对，完全是两码事。

Okay, totally different context here.

是的，那个意思是喜欢某人。

Yeah, that means you like someone.

你对那个人有感觉，对吧？

You have feelings for them, right?

而这个意思正好相反。

And this is like the opposite.

被打击是负面的。

This is negative to be crushed.

如果你喜欢的人甩了你，你可能会心碎。

Your crush might crush you if they dump you.

没错。

Exactly.

我很喜欢。

I love it.

你有没有过这样的经历：从一场英语对话中走出来，心里想，我知道自己想说什么，可为什么就是说不出来？

Have you ever walked away from an English conversation thinking, I knew what I wanted to say, so why couldn't I say it?

这种感觉可能发生在你学了很多英语，但需要用到的时候，这些知识却拼不到一起。

That feeling can happen when you've learned a lot of English, but the pieces still don't work together when you need them.

时间一长，你就不再相信自己的英语了。

And after a while, you stop trusting your English.

你会怀疑自己的语法。

You question your grammar.

你会在脑子里翻译。

You translate in your head.

你会把想法说得更简单，因为长句子感觉太冒险了。

You make your idea smaller because a long sentence feels too risky.

再说一遍，网址是allearsenglish.com/letterbnumberone。

One more time, that's allearsenglish.com/letterbnumberone.

好的，Aubrey，我们回来继续聊几个有趣的例子，都是很随意的内容。

Alright, Aubrey, we're back with a couple more fun examples, really casual stuff here.

下一个是什么？

What's the next one?

那会是

What would be the

下一个，对，下一个是“cleaned the floor with someone”，意思是彻底打败某人，让对方输得很惨，甚至有点丢脸，对吧？

next Yeah, next one is cleaned the floor with someone to defeat them so badly, it's almost embarrassing for them, right?

这个说法可能用来吹嘘，对吧？

This is maybe used to brag, right?

有时候有些人会说垃圾话，比如“我们把他们打得落花流水”。

Sometimes some people will trash talk and be like, we cleaned the floor with them.

意思是我们赢了很多，我们在炫耀这件事。

It means we beat them by a lot and we're bragging about it.

对，我觉得说这句话需要很大的自信，对吧？

Yeah, I feel like you have to have a lot of confidence to say this, right?

而且你最好真的赢了很多。

And you better have really won by a lot.

对，不能只是小胜。

Yeah, it can't.

他们基本上不应该得分，对吧？

They shouldn't have gotten any points really, right?

没错。

Exactly.

或者说她在比赛中把所有人都打得落花流水。

Or she cleaned the floor with everyone in that competition.

没错。

Exactly.

对，这挺有意思的。

Yeah, and so this is interesting.

这让我想到，因为我儿子，我们经常下棋，他会说大话，吹牛，我会跟他讲体育精神，因为稍微说一点没关系，只要轻松有趣，但很容易就过头了或者变得刻薄，对吧？

It kind of brings up, you know because again my son we're playing chess a lot and he'll trash talk, he'll brag and I'll talk to him about sportsmanship because like a little bit is okay if it's light hearted and fun but it can easily be too much or mean spirited right?

所以这真的是一条很细的线，既要做一个好的运动员，在合适的场合用这些说法，但又不能吹牛太多或者太过分。

So that's really a fine line of being a good sport and using some of these phrases in the right context but not bragging too much or going overboard.

对，这确实是个教他的好机会，我觉得肯定是的。

Yeah, that's a good opportunity to teach him that I think for sure.

对，绝对是的。

Yeah, absolutely.

总得在某个地方学嘛。

You've to learn somewhere.

那再来看看sweep，它的过去式是什么，Aubrey？

And then to sweep, Or the past tense of sweep, Aubrey is what?

Swept。

Swept.

所以这是个很有意思的过去分词，意思是如果你swept了，就是说你在一个系列赛中赢了全部或者几乎全部的比赛，对吧？

So that's an interesting past participle and this means to win every or almost every game in a series if you swept, right?

比如说，他们以三比零横扫了整个系列赛。

So for example they swept the series three to zero.

或者我们可以说，她在那个锦标赛上横扫了所有对手。

Or she swept the competition at that tournament we could say.

或者我们队这周末横扫了对手。

Or our team swept their rivals this weekend.

所以这通常不是指一场比赛或一场对决。

So this isn't usually for like one game, one match.

这通常指的是某种系列赛或比赛，你在其中大获全胜，对吧？

It usually means some kind of series or competition where you clean up, right?

就是你在整个比赛中表现得特别出色。

Where you do really well over the whole competition.

天哪，我觉得我打青少年网球的时候老是输。

Oh man, I feel like when I played junior tennis I used to lose all the time.

我总是被对手打得落花流水。

I would always get crushed by my opponent.

你知道的，这种事难免。

You know it happens.

谁都会有这种时候，有意思的是——

It happens to the best of us and that's the interesting thing is.

你能不能做到输得起也赢得起，对吧？

Can you be a good loser and a good winner, right?

我得跟我儿子说，你不想当输不起的人，但也不想当赢了还让人难受的人。

I have to talk to my son like you don't want to be a sore loser but you also don't want to be a sore winner.

就是别炫耀，别在人家伤口上撒盐。

Know bragging and rubbing it in.

林赛，想象一下，如果那些在网球比赛里打败你的人，还到处炫耀，让你更难受，那会是什么感觉。

Imagine if the people who beat you at those tennis games, Lindsey, like bragging and making you feel even worse about it.

孩子们在体育里能学到很多东西，你不觉得吗？

There's a lot to learn for kids in sports, don't you think?

我的意思是，很多对生活很重要的道理，比如团队合作、赢和输，这些。

I mean a lot of important lessons for life, teamwork, winning, losing, that kind of thing.

对，而且很多不是天生就会的。

Yeah, and a lot of it doesn't just come naturally.

他们得在某个地方学到这些，

They have to learn that somewhere,

对吧？

right?

有意思。

Interesting.

对。

Yeah.

Aubrey，我们来做个角色扮演吧，因为我们知道听众们特别喜欢我们的招牌角色扮演。

Aubrey, let's jump into a role play because we know our listeners love our signature role plays.

这次是什么场景？

What's the scenario here?

好，你和我扮演朋友，我们支持同一支篮球队，正在讨论昨晚的比赛。

Alright, you and I are friends and we are rooting for the same basketball team and we're discussing last night's game.

你先开始？

Wanna start us out?

好。

Yeah.

嘿，Aubrey，你昨晚看比赛了吗？

Hey Aubrey, did you catch the game last night?

哦，看了，太精彩了。

Oh yeah, it was incredible.

我们队把他们打得落花流水。

Our team crushed them.

哦，我知道。

Oh I know.

他们下半场基本上把对手打得毫无还手之力。

They basically cleaned the floor with them in the second half.

是的，说实话，我高兴得不得了。

Yes and honestly, I couldn't be happier.

特别是因为他们上赛季把我们打得惨不忍睹。

Especially since they completely smoked us last season.

哦，那当然，但我们队今年真的扭转了局面。

Oh for sure, but our team has really turned things around this year.

我觉得到目前为止我们横扫了整个系列赛。

I feel like we've swept the series so far.

是的，我们一直打得对手毫无招架之力。

Yes, we've been beating teams pretty soundly.

希望一直这样下去。

Hopefully it stays that way.

不错。

Nice.

这挺有意思的，因为跟咱们平时聊的完全不一样，但我经常听到别人这么聊。哦，真的吗？

This is funny because this is very dissimilar from any conversation you and I have had, but I overhear conversations like this all Oh, the really?

对，我邻居们会一边打球一边聊，比如菲尼克斯太阳队，或者亚利桑那州立大学的橄榄球、篮球。

Yeah, my neighbors will be like playing and then they'll start talking about, you know, the sons, maybe the Phoenix Suns or ASU football ASU basketball.

然后我就听着他们聊，因为我不懂。

Then I'll just like, while they have this conversation because I don't know.

没什么可插嘴的。

Don't have anything to add.

没错，这对我来说太熟悉了，每次跟我另一半的家人在一起，或者她爸妈在场的时候，聊的都是体育。

No, that is that is my reality in a major anytime I'm around my in laws and my partners around the parents, it's a lot of sports talk.

他们会聊得很深入，比如谁被交易到哪个队了，哪个球员怎么样之类的。

I mean, they don't they'll go into it intensively and talk about this guy was traded to this team and this player and that and that.

真的很深入。

It's really in-depth.

幸好不是全程都这样，但他们一聊起来我就走神了，就像你说的那样。

Luckily, don't do it the whole time, but they'll go into it and I just tune out exactly as you're saying.

对吧？

Right?

这真的很棘手，你也不想总是那个说“我们能聊点别的吗？”的人。

It's so tricky and you don't want to always be the one that's like, can we talk about something else?

就像你在努力表现出感兴趣的样子。

Like you're trying to be interested.

你在问问题。

You're asking questions.

我不知道他们是不是真的在乎这个。

I don't know if they really care about it.

你不会

You don't

不，不，他们知道的。

No, no, they know.

他们知道我在走神。

They know I'm in La La Land.

我脑子里在想别的事情。

I'm somewhere else in my head.

哦，就像打开一本书那样。

Oh, like open a book.

不，不，我就是直接去看《纽约时报》的照片。

No, no, I just I literally just go to my photo with The New York Times.

哦，那挺有意思的。

Oh, that's funny.

他们还在那儿。

They're they're still there.

他们会继续聊下去。

They'll have the conversation.

他们之后会跟你聊点别的。

They'll chat with you about something else later.

没意思。

There's no point.

有时候有些话题，他们知道我不感兴趣，我也不知道为什么。

Sometimes some topics are just like they know I'm not interested and I don't know.

我们不再试图展现自己不同的一面了，那会怎么样？

We're not kind of trying to show different sides of ourselves anymore, what happens?

我跟家人朋友在一起的时候也这样，有时候他们要聊一个话题，你就自己走开，去跟别人聊点别的，对吧？

That happens to me wherever when I'm with family friends like sometimes they're going to have a conversation and you just sort of excuse yourself, go talk to someone else about something else, right?

对。

Exactly.

那也挺好的，对吧？

That's fine too, right?

只要你们聊天的时候，能找到你感兴趣的话题就行，对吧？

As long as it's like when you're chatting with them, you find something that you are interested in when you do talk, right?

对。

Yeah.

他们一聊到体育，大概五分钟就换话题了。

When they go into sports, it's like five minutes and then they move on.

谢天谢地。

Thank goodness.

那段时间你确实很投入。

There you very intense during that time.

当然。

Absolutely.

他们肯定会根据这个角色扮演来聊这个话题。

They will definitely have this conversation from this role play.

好，那我们在这儿过一遍。

Well, let's go over it here.

我一开始就说，是的，那场比赛太精彩了。

I first said, yes, the game was incredible.

我们队把他们打得落花流水。

Our team crushed them.

也就是说，他们赢得非常干脆，就像我们说的那样。

That means they won decisively as we said.

他们赢了很多。

They won by a lot.

然后我说，我知道。

And then I said, I know.

他们基本上是把对方打得满地找牙。

They basically cleaned the floor with them.

对吧？

Right?

这是我们有趣的俚语说法，意思是他们……

This is our fun slang y way of saying they

这个说法特别搞笑，因为你想啊，如果有人抓着另一个人拿他擦地板，这比喻多疯狂啊，但我们确实用它来表示他们赢了很多。

It's killed such a funny because if you imagine someone taking a person and cleaning the floor with them, like, what a crazy idiom, but we do use this to mean they won by a lot.

他们打败了他们。

They beat them.

他们在比赛中表现好得多。

They were much better at the game.

还有很多其他的表达方式。

And there's a lot of other expressions too.

我们还没有全部覆盖，可能可以做一个第二部分，讲其他表达，比如“他们干掉了他们”也是说他们决定性地赢了。

We haven't covered all we could probably do a part two on other expressions like they killed them is another way of saying they beat them decisively.

对吧？

Right?

他们在第二节把我们打惨了。

They killed us in the second quarter.

没错。

Exactly.

我们会在商务英语那边做第二部分。

And we are doing a part two over on business English.

哦，好的。

Oh, good.

哦，对。

Oh, yeah.

没错。

That's right.

我们会的，

We will

一定会把“killed them”加进去。

definitely include killed them.

这真的很有意思，因为很多这些表达我们在日常对话中经常用，但其中一些在职场中可能显得太随意了。

This is really interesting because a lot of these we use in everyday language like this and then some of them, some of these are a little too informal to really use at work.

你偶尔可能会用，但还有一些我们在工作中更常用。

You might every now and then but there are others that we do use more often at work.

记得点关注，这样你就能收到我们在工作中更常用的相关短语了。

Be sure to hit follow so that you can get all of the related phrases that we use more at work.

我很喜欢。

I love it.

然后我说，奥布里，下一句是什么？

And then said Aubrey, what was the next line?

对，我说他们上个赛季把我们打得落花流水。

Yes, and I said they completely smoked us last season.

所以我想说，我很高兴我们现在赢了，因为上个赛季他们把我们打得够呛。

So I'm saying like I'm really glad we're winning now because last season they killed us.

就像你说的，他们把我们打得落花流水。

Like you said, they smoked us.

他们把我们打得惨败。

They destroyed us.

我说，所有这些

I said All

其他的说法。

these other ways to say it.

有很多种说法。

A lot of ways to say it.

我说我觉得我们到目前为止已经横扫了整个系列赛。

I said I feel like we've swept the series so far.

意思就是你们还没输过。

Meaning you haven't lost yet.

没错。

Exactly.

如果我们横扫了系列赛，那我们可能就没输过，然后我说，是的，我们确实赢得很轻松。

We're undefeated probably if we've swept the series and then I say, yeah we have been beating teams pretty soundly.

所以那意味着比赛并不胶着，对吧？

So that means they are not close games, right?

我们不是那种让人捏把汗的比赛。

We are not like nail biters.

不是那种直到最后一刻才知道谁赢的紧张比赛。

They are not nail biters where you are not sure who will win until the very last moment.

如果我们打得对方毫无还手之力，那就是大比分领先。

If we are beating them soundly, we are winning by a lot.

好的。

All right.

真的很不错。

Really good stuff.

现在我真有动力去找一项运动，能让我，你知道，彻底碾压对手。

Now I feel so motivated to go out and find a sport that I can, you know, wipe Yes, the

把对方打得落花流水。

beat someone soundly.

有意思。

Funny.
