你可能会觉得“not real”和“unreal”意思差不多，但信不信由你，它们的意思差别可大了。

You might think not real and unreal have similar meanings, but believe it or not, these could not be more different.

今天，我们就来分享如何用这些词在英语中更好地交流。

Today, we'll share how to use these to connect in English.

你好，米歇尔。

Hello, Michelle.

最近怎么样？

How's it going?

嗨，奥布里。

Hi, Aubrey.

我挺好的。

I'm doing well.

你呢？

How are you?

我特别好。

I am excellent.

今天很高兴能和你一起录制。

Excited to record with you today.

对。

Yeah.

那么，奥布里，你觉得有什么事情特别不真实？

So, Aubrey, what is something you find totally unreal?

哦。

Oh.

我女儿拥有的毛绒玩具数量简直不真实。

So the number of stuffed animals my daughter has is unreal.

她大概有三百个，米歇尔。

She probably has 300, Michelle.

我

I'm

但甚至很多

But not even a lot of

它们都很小。

them are very small.

她喜欢从抓娃娃机里赢一些，或者她会得到一些有二十个小玩意的玩意儿。

She'll like win them out of a little claw machine or she'll get some little thing that has like 20 little ones.

所以我把那些都算作一个。

So I'm counting all of those as one.

但她也有一些特别大的。

But she also has some that are gigantic.

她的床上都堆满了，Georgia。

She's her bed is covered Georgia.

她今年11岁了。

She's 11 years old.

好吧。

Okay.

而且她还在要更多。

And she's still asking for more.

我们最近刚开始说，也许别再买新的毛绒玩具了，我们跟她说，如果要买新的，就得先送走一个，因为总有一天她会不再喜欢毛绒玩具的。

We just have recently started saying, maybe let's stop getting new stuffed animals like and we're like you have to give away one if you're going to get a new one because eventually she's going to be over stuffed animals right now.

我还没到那一天呢。

I'm not hit that date yet.

是啊，好吧，好好享受吧。

Yeah, alright, well enjoy it.

好好享受吧。

Enjoy it.

知道吗？

Know?

最好好好享受。

Better enjoy it.

天哪。

My gosh.

我以前对毛绒玩具特别着迷，现在我的两个孩子也都特别着迷。

I was obsessed with stuffed animals, and now both of my kids are obsessed.

我儿子以前讨厌毛绒玩具，现在也开始喜欢了。

And my son used to hate stuffed animals, and now he started liking them.

所以现在他们俩会为这些玩具吵架。

So now they fight over them.

哦，那真有意思。

Oh, that's funny.

我做的就是把我以前的豆豆娃给他们。

All I do is give them my old beanie babies.

对。

Yeah.

其实我挺不愿意给的……

So which I don't love doing them...

因为对我来说它们很重要，我就觉得，别这样吧。

Doing because, like, they're important to me, and I'm like, don't like

米歇尔，你是不是……

Michelle, were you...

你的豆豆娃上的标签还留着吗？

Did you leave the tags on your beanie babies?

我们是不是要……

Were we gonna...

我们聊过这个吗？

Have we talked about this?

当然，所有标签都还在。

Of course, all the tags are on

豆豆娃的标签。

the Beanie Babies.

那你呢？

What about you?

我从来没买过豆豆娃。

I did not own any Beanie Babies.

你买过。

You did.

但我知道我有些朋友也一样。

But I know I have friends who same.

他们也没把标签摘掉。

They like did not remove the tags.

他们当时想着，也许有一天能转手卖掉，赚一大笔钱。

They were thinking they would maybe resell them and make all this money for them one day.

现在他们却直接把豆豆娃给了孩子，然后看着孩子们把它们弄坏。

And now they're just giving them to their children and Well, watching their children destroy

我就说，我一直在努力让他们把标签留着，但时不时就有一个标签掉了，对我来说真是心疼。

And I am like, I am trying to get them to leave the tags on and every once in a while one goes off and it's like painful to me.

就像豆豆娃必须得有标签才行。

It's like you have to have the tag on the beanie baby.

哦，这真让我笑死了。

Oh, that cracks me up.

就是这样，我们给豆豆娃留着标签。

That's the thing is we leave tags on beanie babies.

我可能会是个撕标签的人吧。

I would be a tag remover probably.

你可别让我靠近你的豆豆娃。

You don't let me anywhere near your beanie babies.

我会让你离得远远的，Aubrey。

I'll keep you away Aubrey.

但说真的，挺好笑的，因为如果他们再得到一个毛绒玩具，就会问，哦，我们能拆掉标签吗？

But yeah, then it's funny because if ever they get another stuffed animal, they're like, oh, can we take the tag off?

我就说，对，只有

I'm like, yeah, it's only

豆豆娃才需要留着标签，没错。

the beanie babies who can exactly.

这挺有意思的。

This is interesting.

我们收到一个关于“unreal”这个词的好问题，对吧？

So we got a great question about this word unreal, right?

我用它来

I used

形容那种难以置信的感觉，对吧？

it to describe just like unbelievable, right?

真是难以置信。

It's unbelievable.

我女儿毛绒玩具多得离谱，但我们用“unreal”来形容。

It's unreal how many stuffed animals my daughter has, but we use unreal.

然后当我们说“not real”时，我们有好几种不同的用法。

And then also when we say not real, we use these a few different ways.

所以今天我很期待深入聊聊这个话题。

So I'm excited to dive into this today.

对，这集挺有意思的。

Yeah, this is a fun episode.

是的。

Yeah.

所以，这个问题来自YouTube。

So yeah, this question comes to us from YouTube.

我来读一下。

So I'll read it.

上面写着：你好。

It says, hi.

我是弗兰克，也是你们的忠实粉丝。

I'm Frank, another big fan.

你好。

Hello.

我是弗兰克。

It's Frank.

你好，弗兰克。

Hello, Frank.

我在广播里听到了“not real”和“unreal”这两个词。

I heard not real and unreal on the radio.

你能解释一下这两者之间的区别吗？

Would you explain the difference between these two?

我觉得你们的播客内容特别有用，同时我也想表达我真诚的感谢，哦，还有对你们这么长时间以来坚持不懈的敬佩。

While I find your podcast content incredibly helpful, I would also like to express my sincere gratitude, oh, and respect for your unwavering consistency over such a long period.

为这么多年的英语点赞。

Kudos to all years English.

我喜欢这个玩笑。

I like that joke.

对，就是这样。

Like that.

为《All Ears English》这么多年点赞。

Many years for All Ears English.

这么多年了。

Many years.

是的。

Yes.

非常感谢Frank。

Thank you so much for Frank.

这真的很贴心，对我们来说意义重大。

That is really sweet and it really does mean a lot to us.

对。

Yes.

我很喜欢这个问题，因为这两个词看起来意思差不多。

I love that and this is a great question because these seem like they would mean the same thing.

没错。

Right.

Unreal 和 not real。

Unreal and not real.

但其实它们有区别。

But we do.

它们有好几种不同的意思。

There are like a few different meanings.

所以我们今天要讲清楚，这样你就能用这两个词来更好地用英语交流。

So we're going to go over this so that you can use these both to connect in English.

对。

Yes.

没错。

Exactly.

那么...

So...

好了。

Alright.

我们开始吧。

Let's get into it.

我们先从not real开始。

Let's start with not real.

那么，当你说某样东西不是真的，是什么意思呢？

So what does it mean when you

说某样东西不是真的？

say something is not real?

对。

Yeah.

这意味着它要么是假的，要么是虚构的，要么根本不存在。

This means it's either false, fake, or doesn't exist.

对吧？

Right?

这个说法更直白、更字面一些。

It's a little more literal and straightforward.

就是真与假的问题。

True versus false.

我们可以用它来谈论事实或现实。

We can use it to talk about facts or reality.

对吧？

Right?

我们也可以简略地说“那不是真的”。

And we can also abbreviate it and say that isn't real.

意思就是要么不存在，要么是假的或错误的。

That means it either doesn't exist or it's fake or false.

明白。

Mhmm.

对。

Yeah.

所以这个短语可以用来指任何假的内容。

So we would use this phrase for, yeah, any fake content.

对吧？

Alright?

比如照片、视频、AI、新闻。

Like photos, videos, AI, news.

比如说，那个视频不是真的。

So for example, that video isn't real.

它是AI生成的。

It's AI generated.

我经常看到这种东西，对吧？

I'm seeing a lot of that Right?

假标题党新闻文章、照片、视频。

Fake clickbait news articles, photos, videos.

这些都是AI生成的，可以说这不是真的。

It's all AI generated and would say this is not real.

这是假的。

This is fake.

它不是真的。

It isn't real.

或者这张照片看起来很棒，但不是真的。

Or this photo looks cool, but it's not real.

我经常上当。

I fall for this a lot.

我会拿给我孩子看。

I'll show my kids.

看这个视频，门廊上全是浣熊，然后他们说，妈，那是AI做的。

Look at this video of all these raccoons on a porch and they're like, mom, that's AI.

我就说，看看这个宝宝。

I'm like, look at this baby.

它说话的样子，你看

It's talking like look

这个宝宝。

at this baby.

这是个水果。

It's a fruit.

没错

Exactly

对。

right.

这些疯狂的东西，他们不像我那么容易上当。

All these crazy things they don't fall for it as much as I do.

我还是不太习惯AI能做出这么逼真的东西。

I'm still not used to AI being able to make something so realistic.

这确实棘手。

That's tricky.

是的。

Yeah.

对。

Yeah.

或者电影、电视，就是虚构的故事。

Or movies, TV, just fictional stories.

比如说，放松点，那不是真的。

So for example, like, the relax, it's not real.

那只是电影而已。

It's just a movie.

或者那些角色不是真的。

Or those characters aren't real.

我是说，我会跟我女儿说，你知道，怪物不是真的。

I mean, I will say to my daughter, you know, monsters aren't real.

对。

Right.

我们会去看那种有点吓人的节目，然后我会说，只要你知道那不是真的，我就同意你看。

We'll go to watch, you know, a kind of a scary show and I'm like, I'm okay with you watching this as long as you know it's not real.

对。

Right.

其实没那么吓人。

It's not really scary.

这是假血，对吧？

This is fake blood, right?

跟孩子在一起挺棘手的，因为我不想让他们看完之后害怕或者做噩梦。

It's tricky with kids because I don't want them to be scared after or have nightmares.

对。

Yeah.

对。

Yeah.

还有呢？

Else?

还有什么不是真的？

What else isn't real?

网络诈骗，对吧？

Online scams, right?

可疑的优惠。

Suspicious offers.

我们会说，你知道，那封邮件不是真的。

We say like, you know, that email isn't real.

那是骗局。

It's a scam.

我们的意思是，它并不是真的来自它所声称的那个来源。

What we mean is it's not really from who it says it's from.

这最近就发生在我女儿身上。

This happened to my daughter recently.

她收到了一封看起来像是工作邮件，但实际上是垃圾邮件的邮件。

She received an email from what looked like it was from work but was actually like a spam email.

太离谱了，而且看起来特别真。

It was crazy and it looked so real.

他们在钓鱼邮件地址和电话号码方面越来越厉害了。

They're getting better and better at phishing for email addresses and phone numbers.

现在越来越难分辨什么是假的了。

It's harder to tell what's not real.

或者那个交易听起来好得不像真的。

Or that deal sounds too good to be real.

那不是真的。

It's not real.

对吧？

Right?

没错。

Exactly.

比如有人说七天七夜免费度假。

Someone's like seven days and nights free vacation.

你很可能得去听一场分时度假的推销，或者那根本就是假的。

You're probably gonna have to sit through a timeshare presentation or it's just not real.

对吧？

Right?

就是想骗你上钩。

It's just just trying to trick you into something.

是的。

Yeah.

对。

Right.

或者就像我说的，童年或者想象中的东西。

Or as I mentioned, childhood or imaginary things.

所以怪物不是真的，或者那也不是真的。

So monsters aren't real or that's not real.

那只是你的想象。

It's just your imagination.

对吧？

Right?

嗯。

Mhmm.

或者怀疑一个故事或说法。

Or doubting a story or claim.

对吧？

Right?

如果有人给你讲个故事，你心里想，哦。

If someone tells you a story and you're like, k.

说实话吧。

Now be honest.

那不是真的。

That's not real.

对吧？

Is it?

是不是？

Right?

对。

Yeah.

好。

Okay.

我们来聊聊“不真实”这个词吧，米歇尔。

Let's talk about unreal, Michelle.

所以这就是当某件事令人惊叹、令人震惊、难以置信的时候。

So this is when something is amazing, shocking, hard to believe.

比如，你不会说，你知道，我女儿有毛绒玩具这件事不真实，因为这是真的。

Like, wouldn't say, you know, it's not real that my daughter has stuffed animals because it is.

这是事实。

It's the truth.

只是让人震惊。

It's just shocking.

她有多少毛绒玩具，真是让人惊讶。

It's surprising how many stuffed animals she has.

所以我会说这太不真实了。

So I would say it's unreal.

不真实。

Unreal.

对吧？

Right?

或者……

Or...

对。

Yeah.

它带有情感，也表达某种意思。

It's emotional, and it's expressive meaning.

所以它就像……

So it's like...

是一种反应。

It's a reaction.

它不是事实。

It's not it's not fact.

没错。

Exactly.

我们用它

We use it

用来对某些情况或经历做出反应。

to react to situations or experiences.

而且我觉得这比说“难以置信”更好。

And I prefer this to saying like it's unbelievable.

我喜欢这个词，而不是说“不真实”。

I love this to being like that is unreal.

对。

Yeah.

对。

Yeah.

我很喜欢。

I love it.

对。

Yeah.

所以我们会用它来对令人印象深刻的事情做出反应。

So we would use it to react to something impressive.

对吧？

Right?

比如，那景色真是绝了。

Like, that view is unreal.

所以它可以用来表达好的意思。

So it can be used in a good way.

对吧？

Right?

或者好吃的食物。

Or great food.

这意大利面真是绝了。

This pasta is unreal.

体育或表演方面，那个进球太神了，或者那个动作太不可思议了。

Sports or performances, that goal was unreal or that play was unreal.

我们就是说它太棒了。

We just mean it was fantastic.

真的很不错。

It was really good.

嗯嗯。

Uh-huh.

或者用来形容极端的情况，对吧？

Or reacting to extreme situations, right?

好的坏的都行。

Good or bad.

所以，哦，这就是我最近一直在经历的感觉。

So, oh, this is what I feel like I've been dealing with recently.

今天的交通真是难以置信。

The traffic today is unreal.

所以，是的，在我住的地方附近有一条主要街道。

So yeah, there's a street, one of the main streets near where I live.

那里有……

There's...

他们正在做很多工程，而且总是有问题。

They're doing like a lot of work and there's always a problem.

总是这样。

Always.

每天都有新的路段被封锁，而且那真的是主干道。

Every day there's a new section blocked off and it's really the main road.

所以很多时候你会听到有人说今天的交通太不真实了。

And so a lot of times you would hear someone say the traffic today is unreal.

这真的很有趣，它可能非常好，也可能非常糟糕。

And this is really interesting how it can be very good or very bad.

英语里形容这种情况的形容词太多了。

So many adjectives in English.

非好即坏。

It's one or the other.

要么是好的，要么是那个。

It's good Not or this one.

如果有人说这周真是不可思议。

If someone says this week has been unreal.

在对方提供更多信息之前，你不知道这到底是特别好还是特别糟。

You don't know if that means really good or really bad until they provide more information.

对吧？

Right?

他们可能会说，然后我升职了，还去度假了；或者他们也可能说这周真是不可思议。

They could say then I got a promotion and I went on vacation or they could say this week has been unreal.

我因为交通每天都迟到，还被开除了。

I've been late every day because of traffic and I got fired.

你看，两个极端都可以用unreal来形容。

Like you could use unreal for both extremes.

对。

Right.

对。

Right.

没错。

Exactly.

或者用来随便形容日常的事情。

Or reacting casually to everyday things.

对吧？

Right?

比如最近天气真是好得不得了。

Like the weather has been unreal lately.

对吧？

Right?

所以……

So...

对。

Yeah.

而且……

And there...

这有点夸张了。

It is a little extreme.

对吧？

Right?

如果只是像往常一样阳光明媚，就像亚利桑那州一贯的那样，有人这么说就会很奇怪。

If it were just like sunny, the same as it always is in Arizona, it would be strange for someone to say that.

这天气真是反常。

This weather's been unreal.

我会说，不会吧。

I'd be like, no.

不就是又出太阳了嘛。

It's just sunny again.

对吧？

Right?

这确实意味着有什么不寻常的事情发生了。

This really implies that something is out of the ordinary.

就是事情到了极端，要么特别好，要么特别坏，反正就是不一样。

Something is on an extreme, either extremely good or extremely bad, something different.

如果你要说它不真实的话。

If you're going to say it's unreal.

比如我女儿有那些毛绒玩具，如果她有十个二十个，我也不会说这不真实。

Like I wouldn't say my daughter having all these stuffed animals if she had 10 or 20, I wouldn't be like it's unreal.

我女儿有多少毛绒玩具？

How many stuffed animals my daughter has?

那得是让人惊讶的程度才行。

It has to be, you know, surprising.

对。

Right.

是的。

Yeah.

没错。

Exactly.

我们要不要来一段角色扮演？

Should we do a role play?

好。

Yeah.

那就来吧。

Let's do it.

我们俩是朋友，在聊网上看到的东西。

You and I are friends here and we're talking about something we saw online.

我先开头。

I'll start us out.

好的。

Okay.

你看到那个中彩票的人的视频了吗？

Did you see that video of the guy winning the lottery tickets?

看到了。

Yes.

真希望那个人是我。

I wish that were me.

那也太不真实了。

That would be so unreal.

不过，也不是。

Well, no.

我刚想说那个视频不是真的，但大家都信了。

I was about to say the video that's not real, but everyone believes it.

不会吧。

No way.

但看起来真的很像真的。

It looks so real though.

我知道AI视频现在做得太好了。

I know AI videos have gotten so good.

挺吓人的。

It's scary.

确实。

True.

我早该想到的。

I should have known better.

对。

Yeah.

这总是很棘手，如果有人发给你一个视频，你一眼就能看出是AI做的，但他们却以为是真的。

This is always tricky when if someone sends you a video that you can tell right away as AI and they think it's real.

这真的很尴尬，就像我该告诉他们这不是真的，还是就说‘哇，好酷’，因为我不想当那个……你懂的，扫兴的人。

It's this really awkward thing of like do I let them know it's not real or do I just say like wow cool because I don't want to be the one like I don't want be a you know party

扫兴的人，对吧？

pooper exactly right?

我不想……

I don't want to

让他们因为相信了而感到难堪。

make them feel dumb for believing it

对对，没错。

right right?

他们自己会发现的。

They can figure it out

从别人那里。

from someone else.

反正不会是我，对吧？

It's not going to be me, right?

挺有意思的，不过好吧，我们继续往下说。

That's funny, but yeah, so let's go through this.

你一开始说，哎呀，我真希望那个人是我。

You first said you know, oh, I wish that were me.

那简直太不真实了，你的意思是，对，中彩票太不真实了。

That would be unreal and you mean yeah, winning the lottery would be unreal.

意思就是太棒了，太惊喜了，太不可思议了，太棒了。

It means it would be amazing, surprising, fantastic, fantastic.

对。

Right.

然后你说，不不。

And then you said no, no.

我刚想说那是真的。

I was about to say that real.

那个视频不是真的，对吧？

That video is not real, right?

它是假的。

It's false.

它是虚构的。

It's fictional.

所以我说的是一些流传的AI视频，不是真的，但大家都以为是真的。

So I'm talking about some AI video going around that's not real, but everyone thinks it is real.

因为，是的，AI视频嘛。

Because yeah, AI videos.
