嘿，Lindsay，你今天怎么样？

Hey, Lindsay, how are you today?

嘿，我很好，Aubrey。

Hey, I'm doing great, Aubrey.

我很好。

I'm doing great.

你呢？

How are you?

非常好。

Excellent.

问你个问题。

Quick question for you.

好的。

Yes.

你觉得智能眼镜怎么样？

What do you think of smart glasses?

就是那种戴在眼睛上，能记录一切的眼镜。

The kind you wear that can record everything.

哦。

Ooh.

或者帮你翻译语言的。

Or translate languages for you.

说实话，我觉得有点吓人。

Honestly, it's giving creepy for me.

我同意。

I agree.

我不喜欢。

I don't like it.

确实吓人。

Creepy.

只要有人戴着眼镜，我就不想猜他们是不是在录我。

Anytime someone's wearing glasses, I don't want to be wondering if they're recording me.

哦不，那确实挺吓人的。

Oh, no. That is creepy.

对。

Yes.

现在我们知道，如果有人拿出手机，他们可能在录我。

Now we know if someone takes out a phone, they might be recording me.

我还能躲开手机什么的。

I can kind of dodge the phone or something.

但要是眼镜的话，你没法躲开每个人的眼镜。

But when it's glasses, you can't dodge everyone's glasses.

根本没法知道。

There's no way to know.

我知道。

I know.

我同意。

I agree.

这确实让人毛骨悚然。

It's giving creepy.

你们可能注意到Lindsay用了这个有趣又新潮的流行语，就是“it's giving”。

And you guys might have noticed Lindsay used this fun, new trendy slang phrase, it's giving.

对。

Yes.

这个说法现在特别流行，我们也很想好好聊聊。

Which is super common right now, and we're excited to dive in.

今天我们要回答一位听众关于这个短语的问题。

We're answering a listener question today about this phrase.

好。

Yes.

那我就先来读一下听众的问题，咱们开始吧。

I'm going to go ahead and read the listener question to get us started off.

好的。

All right.

这个当然来自YouTube。

This of course comes from YouTube.

大家别忘了，我们有一个完整的YouTube频道，如果你更喜欢通过视频来收听这个播客，你可以这样做。

Guys, don't forget, we have an entire YouTube channel where if you prefer to consume this podcast by video, you can do that.

那么Aubrey，他们去YouTube上应该搜索什么呢？

So Aubrey, what should they search for when they go over to YouTube?

对。

Yes.

在YouTube上搜索All Ears English。

All Ears English on YouTube.

是的。

Yes.

你会看到我们标志性的黄色出现，而且我们的大部分节目在那里都有视频版本。

You'll see our signature yellow pop up, and most of our episodes are on video over there.

所以一定要——

So definitely-

没错。

You got it

……去看看他们的内容。

... go check them out.

对。

Exactly.

这是来自Saddam Mohammed U1G的评论。

So this is from Saddam Mohammed U1G.

“这一集太棒了。

"This was an amazing episode.

我真的很喜欢。

I really enjoyed it.

用这个短语不仅自然，还能很好地表达你对亲近之人的依赖感。”

Using this phrase can't help but is so natural and creates a great sense of your clinginess to people you hold dear."

他这是在评论之前的一集节目。

So he's commenting on a previous episode here.

没错。

Exactly.

那我们来看看。

So let's see.

不过今天的问题在哪儿呢？

Where's the question for today though?

那我把剩下的部分分享出来。

So I'll share the rest.

好的。

Yes.

请讲。

Go ahead.

他说：“我们也可以说‘我忍不住爱上某样东西’。”

He said, "We can also say I can't stop myself from loving something."

对。

Yes.

然后他说：“你能帮忙解释一下‘it's giving’这个说法吗？”

And then he said, "Can you please reflect on it's giving-

哦，好的。

Oh, okay

……它很自然地用来表示某事物带有某种氛围。

... naturally to refer that something serves a vibe."

对。

Yes.

“非常感谢，Lindsay、Aubrey、Michelle，你们提供的好话题。”

"Thanks a bunch, Lindsay, Aubrey, Michelle, for your great topics."

我很喜欢他实际上用了两个俚语，这两个我们今天都会讲到。

And I love that he actually used two slang terms, both of which we're going to cover today.

就是“it's giving”和“it's serving”。

It's giving, and it's serving.

是的。

Yes.

就是说某样东西很有氛围感。

That something serves a vibe.

所以这期节目会很有意思。

So this is going to be really fun.

好的。

All right.

嗯，感谢这位听众收听我们的节目。

Well, thank you to this listener for listening to our show.

我们很高兴你喜欢这些节目。

We love that you're enjoying these episodes.

对，我们很喜欢介绍新俚语。

And yeah, we love covering new slang.

不过这个俚语已经流行一段时间了，对吧，Aubrey？

This one's been around a little while now though, right, Aubrey?

它已经存在了——

It's been around-

对

Yes

……可能有一两年了吧。

... a couple years maybe.

它已经存在一段时间了，但还是挺新潮的。

It's been around a little while, but it's still pretty modern.

它很适合用来建立联系，对吧？

It's great for connection, right?

是的。

Yes.

我们用这个词来形容某样东西给人的感觉。

We use it to talk about the vibe something gives off.

但它真的很有趣，对吧？

But it's really playful, right?

这是一种很好的表达观点的方式，而且很自然。

It's a great way to share our opinion, but in a natural way.

自然。

Natural.

所以我经常听到这个词。

So I hear it a lot.

我自己也经常用。

I do use it quite a bit as well.

它真的已经被广泛接受了，在——

It really has become adopted in-

不错。

Nice

——英语里，至少在美国是这样。

... English, at least in the States.

真的很常见。

It's really common.

是的。

Yes.

我确实经常听到。

I hear it a lot, for sure.

好吗？

All right?

好的。

Yes.

太棒了。

Awesome.

那我们先来聊聊“it's giving”这个词本身，对吧？

So let's first dive into it's giving on its own, right?

它的意思是当某样东西——

It's when something-

——散发出一种明显的氛围、风格或者能量。

... is giving off a noticeable vibe or aesthetic or energy.

对。

Yes.

所以你可以说：“那套穿搭今天很给力。”

So you might just say like, "That outfit is giving today."

这里面包含了很多意思。

And there's so much implied there.

意思是你觉得它给人的感觉很好。

It means you think it's giving a good vibe.

看起来很棒。

It's a great look.

它真的很适合某人。

It fits someone really well.

对。

Yes.

我喜欢这个。

Love that.

好的。

All right.

所以这就是我们使用它的一种方式，就单独用它。

And so that's one way we can use it, just by itself.

就说“is giving”就行。

Just that is giving.

你只需要说这个。

That's all you have to say.

意思就是我很喜欢。

And it just means I love it.

它很有氛围感。

It's got great vibe.

是的。

Yes.

有太多好的地方了。

There's so many good things.

当我们只说“that is giving”的时候，其实有很多没说出来的意思。

So much is unsaid when we just say that is giving.

但它是积极的。

But it's positive.

我们知道它是积极的——

We know it's positive-

非常积极。

Very positive

……当我们后面不加任何名词或感受的时候。

... when we don't put any noun or anything after that, or any feeling after that.

没错。

Exactly.

但我们也可以加上一个名词或一种感受。

But we could also put a noun or a feeling.

我们可以说“it's giving”加上一个名词或一种感受。

We could say it's giving plus a noun or a feeling.

那会是什么样子呢，Aubrey？

What does that look like, Aubrey?

我们来做个角色扮演吧。

Let's do a role play.

好的。

All right.

所以我们做的这个蛋糕太好吃了。

So this cake we made is so delicious.

我知道。

I know.

这很有高级美食的感觉。

It's giving gourmet.

哦，好的。

Oh, okay.

所以这就是另一种说法，表示它很高级。

So that's another way of saying like, it is gourmet.

超级高级。

It's super gourmet.

我们会这样说，比如，它给人一种……

We'll use this, be like, it's giving-

……高级美食的感觉。

... gourmet.

我想这来源于它给我的感觉，或者说它给我的印象是……

I guess it comes from it's giving me the vibe of, or giving me the feeling of-

没错。

Exactly

就是那种很高级的感觉，对吧？

... the feeling that it's gourmet, right?

我们就是把那些多余的词都去掉了。

We're just removing all those extra words.

那些多余的词。

All those extra words.

完全正确。

Totally.

或者再来一个小角色扮演。

Or another little role play.

这家咖啡馆真可爱，对吧？

This cafe is so cute, isn't it?

完全同意。

Totally.

给人一种温馨的周日早晨的感觉。

It's giving cozy Sunday morning.

所以你的意思是，它给人一种舒适周日早晨的感觉。

And that's what you mean is it's giving the vibe of a cozy Sunday morning.

对。

Yes.

但你只需要说“它给人一种”就行。

But all you need is the it's giving.

喜欢这个。

Love it.

然后你还可以用“它给人一种”加上一个文化梗。

And then you could do it's giving plus a cultural reference.

我想知道这会是什么样子。

I wonder what this looks like.

你觉得这套衣服怎么样？

What do you think of this outfit?

我喜欢。

I'm into it.

这很有2000年代初流行明星的感觉。

It's giving early 2000s pop star.

确实，所以你就是去掉了那种2000年代初流行明星的氛围。

It's true, so you're just removing the vibe of early 2000s pop star.

但这确实让它更有趣了。

But it does make it more playful.

或者不说“你看起来像2000年代初的流行明星”，这样说更有意思。

Or instead of saying like, "You look like an early 2000s pop star," it's just more fun.

更有趣。

It's more fun.

是的。

It is.

有时候赶潮流也挺好玩的，对吧？

It's fun to be on trend sometimes, right?

或者我可能会说，“这家餐厅很酷。”

Or I might say, "This restaurant is cool."

我喜欢这个。

I like it.

这很有老式餐厅的感觉。

It's giving old school diner.

我超爱老式餐厅。

Love old school diners.

对。

Yes.

就是把它跟别的东西比一比，挺有意思的，对吧？

Just a fun way to compare it to something else, right?

对。

Yes.

或者你可以说“这很有……的感觉”，然后补充更多细节，就像在描述一种整体氛围，对吧？

Or you might say it's giving, and then give more information, like a full vibe interpretation, right?

所以这家酒吧感觉特别高档，但又带着海滩风情。

So this bar feels so fancy but also beachy.

可不是嘛。

Isn't it?

感觉就像在欧洲海滨大道上喝阿佩罗开胃酒。

It's giving Aperol Spritz on a European promenade.

哦～

Ooh.

这其实是个挺好玩的做法，因为你最后会用到更多词，因为你会说，'我要再举一个例子，一个有很多细节的体验，可能跟这个氛围很像。'

This is a fun thing to do where you actually end up using more words because you're like, "I'm going to give this other example, other experience with a lot of details that might have the same vibe."

就会像，'这感觉就像……'

It'll be like, "It's giving..."

然后你还会把它说得更长。

And then you make it even longer.

这么做挺有意思的。

It's fun to do that.

真有意思。

How fun.

这样我们就能发挥创意，对吧？

And this allows us to be creative, right?

创意是连接的重要部分。

Creativity is a big part of connection.

所以这就是你的创意——

So here's your creativity-

没错

Exactly

……机会，对吧？

... opportunity, right?

对，而且不一定非得是那种“它”的感觉，对吧？

Yeah, and it doesn't always have to have that it's, right?

也可以是关于一个人的。

It can be also about a person.

好的。

Okay.

你可能会说，‘他这造型像是猫王遇上米克·贾格尔。’

You might say, "He's giving Elvis Presley meets Mick Jagger."

或者要是有人戴着一副特别大的猫王同款墨镜，你可能就会说，‘他戴着那副眼镜，简直就是猫王本人。’

Or if someone has big Elvis Presley glasses, you might just be like, "He's giving Elvis Presley with those glasses."

对，或者说，‘她自带主角气场。’

Yeah, or you could say, "She's giving main character energy."

没错，就像话剧或者电影里的主角那样。

Right, so the star of a play, for example, or a movie.

我孩子看剧的时候常说一句话。要是看到某个角色明显是主角，他们就会说：‘这角色肯定死不了’，或者用个词叫‘自带剧情护甲’，‘他/她自带剧情护甲’。

My kids say this when, if we're watching a show and someone is clearly a main character, and they're like, "There's no chance they're going to die," they'll say, "He's giving plot armor," or, "She's giving plot armor."

挺有意思的。

Interesting.

他们说这话的意思就是，明白了，这是主角。

They'll say that meaning, okay, this is a main character.

这角色肯定能活下来。

They're going to survive.

他们不会死的，对。

They can't be killed, yeah.

没错，除非是《权力的游戏》或者《龙之家族》那种剧，里面谁都有可能——

Right, unless it's "Game of Thrones" or "House of the Dragon" or something like that where anyone-

……随时都可能死。

... could die at any time.

根本没有主角光环。

There is no plot armor.

确实。

For sure.

主角们——

Main characters-

对，确实。

Yeah, for sure

……他们就直接把主角写死了。

... they'll just off them.

有意思。

Interesting.

或者你可以说：“我不想和他们一起玩。”

Or you could say, "I don't think I want to hang out with them.

他们看起来像那种刻薄的女孩。”

They're giving mean girls."

哦，那可不妙。

Ooh, that's not good.

这只是另一种说他们不友善的方式。

It's just another way to say they're not kind.

他们是刻薄的女孩。

They are mean girls.

他们看起来像刻薄的女孩。

They're giving mean girls.

有意思。

Interesting.

好了，Aubrey，你觉得还有哪些类似的表达？

All right, Aubrey, so what do we think are some similar phrases?

我们在解释这些内容的时候已经提到过几次了。

We've been dropping them a few times as we've been explaining these.

我们到底是在说什么呢？

What are we really saying here?

再来一个——

Another one-

对，我们的听众提到了serve-

Yeah, and our listener mentioned serve-

Serve

Serve

……或者serving，对吧？

... or serving, right?

所以我们就说serving，然后后面接个词-

So we'll say serving and then blank something-

……这跟气场或一个人给人的印象是一样的，

... which is the same, the vibe or an image someone gives off-

……而且非常显眼。

... that's very noticeable.

这个说法挺常见的。

This is pretty common.

我们在社交媒体上经常看到。

We see it a lot in social media.

好的。

Okay.

是的。

Yes.

它可以是正面的，也可以是夸张的，还可以带点玩味，对吧？

It can be positive, it can be dramatic, it can be a little bit playful, right?

而且关键在于要表现得明显或是有意为之。

And it's about being obvious or intentional.

我们经常听到一个说法，叫“造型很抢眼”。

We'll often hear the chunk, they're serving looks.

比如说，他穿那身衣服造型很抢眼——

So for example, he is serving looks in that outfit-

意思是他们故意想吸引别人的目光。

... means they intentionally are wanting to turn heads.

可能颜色很鲜艳，或者风格很特别——

Maybe something is very colorful or different-

或者很独特，就可以说某人造型很抢眼。

... or unique to say someone is serving looks.

或者你也可以说，他在那组照片里表情很到位，意思是他用了很惊艳的面部表情，值得我们评论。

Or you could say he was serving face in that photo shoot, meaning he was using impressive facial expressions that we want to comment on.

所以就是关于他的脸的一些东西。

So something about his face.

对，这让我想起《超级名模》，对吧？

Yeah, this reminds me of Zoolander, right?

当他做出——

When he does-

好的

Okay

……蓝钢或者那些……

... Blue Steel or whatever these...

你会说他是在展示面部表情。

You'd say he's serving face.

故意做出夸张的面部表情——

Intentionally making extreme facial expressions-

对

Yes

……来引起反应。

... for a reaction.

有意思。

Interesting.

还有别的吗，奥布里？

What else, Aubrey?

我们还能说什么呢？

What else could we say?

你可能会说她展现了老好莱坞的魅力。

You might say she was serving old Hollywood glam.

所以这可能意味着某人穿了一条裙子或一套衣服，有那种感觉，然后你就会说，"她在展现..."

So this might mean someone has a dress or an outfit that is that vibe, and so you'd be like, "She's serving..."

对。

Yes.

然后补充细节。

And then fill out the details.

不错。

Nice.

是的，或者你可能就像给予一样，把其他一切都抛掉。

Yeah, or you might just drop everything else, just like with giving.

她穿得很惊艳，对吧？

She's serving, right?

如果你只说“她在惊艳全场”，那意思就是——

If you just say, "She is serving," that just means-

她看起来真的很棒。

... she looks really good.

你是在夸她的穿搭和整体气质。

You're complimenting the outfit, the whole vibe.

不错。

Nice.

好的，那奥布里，如果我们不想总是说“giving”和“serving”，还能怎么说呢？

All right, so what else might we say, Aubrey, if we want to just not always say giving and serving?

我们还会说某人正处于某个“时代”。

We also will say someone's in their blank era.

好的。

Okay.

这个短语是说一个人正处在某种情绪状态中。

This is a phrase where someone's embodying a certain mood.

这个也是——

This is also-

好的

Okay

……有点俏皮，带点戏剧性。

... playful, kind of dramatic.

你可能会说：“他每天都在发健身自拍。”

You might say, "He's been posting gym selfies every day."

对，他正处在健身时期。

Yeah, he's in his fitness era.

没错，就是这样。

Exactly, right.

所以我们是在说——

So we're saying-

……这就是他的风格。

... that's his vibe.

这就是他现在热衷的事情。

That's what he's into right now.

这么说挺好的。

It's a good way of saying that.

或者她刚搬到城市，就已经开始频繁约会了。

Or she just moved to the city and is going on so many dates already.

我猜她正处于单身女孩的阶段。

I guess she's in her single girl era.

对，没错。

Yes, right.

所以就是谈论人们所处的阶段。

So just talking about phases that people are in.

正是如此。

Exactly.

对，还有一个更常见、一直存在的说法，就是‘这让我想起……’

Yeah, and then a much more common one that's been around forever is just to say, "It reminds me of..."

然后你就是在拿它跟别的东西比较，对吧？

And then you're comparing it to something else, right?

所以这是一种更直白的表达方式，说出某件事让你想起了什么。

So this is a more literal way to say what something reminds you of.

你可能会说，‘这家咖啡馆感觉好温馨好安静。’

So you might say, "This cafe feels so cozy and quiet."

是的，它让我想起我奶奶的厨房。

Yes, it reminds me of my grandma's kitchen.

或者这首歌让人感觉很怀旧。

Or this song feels really nostalgic.

我知道。

I know.

它让我想起高中时的公路旅行。

It reminds me of high school road trips.

对，而且我想补充一点——

Yeah, and just to add kind of-

对，所以这些都是……

Yeah, so these are all...

对，再补充一个，我经常说的是：“这让我想到某件事。”

Yeah, to add a bonus, what I often say is just, "It makes me think of something."

是的。

Yes.

这让我想到——

It makes me think of-

……我奶奶的厨房。

... my grandma's kitchen.

这让我想到高中时的公路旅行，这也是一个例子。

It makes me think of high school road trips is another one.

没错。

Exactly.

所以口袋里备着这些新潮俚语挺有意思的，

So it's fun to have these new trendy slang terms-

对

Yes

但你也可能会用过头，对吧？

... ready in your pocket, but you could overuse them, right?

确实可能。

You could.

尤其是有些词更多用在社交媒体评论里。

Especially where some of these are more used on social media in comments.

在对话中用到它们的情况就少一些，

They're a little less common to be added-

不太常见。

... to conversations.

是的。

Yes.

你可以偶尔用一下，但这些才是我们更常用的。

You could drop them in every now and then, but then these are what we'll use more often.

你说的，Lindsay，这让我想到这个，这让我想起那个。

What you said, Lindsay, this makes me think of this, this reminds me of this.

这些在日常对话中非常常见。

Those are just very common in everyday conversation.

对，所以用俚语要有选择性。

Yeah, so be selective about your use of slang.

要混着用。

And mix it in.

用经典的说法，用新潮的，用永不过时的。

Use classic phrases, use new ones, use evergreen ones.

混着用，这样别人就猜不到你要说什么。

Mix it in so people don't predict what you're going to say.

这才是关键。

That's the key.

没错。

Exactly.

是的。

Yes.

对。

Yes.

好。

All right.

我们来做个角色扮演吧。

Let's do a role play here.

你和我假装是朋友。

You and I are friends.

我们在聊昨晚派对上见到的一个人。

We're talking about someone that we saw at a party last night.

我先开头。

I'll start us off.
