你觉得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与美国主持人奥布里·卡特（Aubrey Carter）以及来自亚利桑那州和科罗拉多州的雅思高手林赛·麦克马洪（Lindsay McMahon）交流，专注于建立联系而非追求完美，从而变得自信流利。

We'll show you how to become fearless and fluent by focusing on connection, not perfection with your American host, Aubrey Carter, the IELTS whiz, and Lindsay McMahon, the English adventurer, coming to you from Arizona and Colorado, USA.

你可能听过这些缩写词，但今天我们来深入探讨一下什么时候用它们，以及每个词怎么发音。

You have probably heard these acronyms, but today, let's dive deep into when to use them and how to pronounce each one.

今天就来听听吧。

Listen in today.

你有没有过这样的经历：用英语聊完天后，心想，我明明可以表达得更好。

Have you ever finished a conversation in English and thought, I know I can say that better.

对方说的每句话你都听懂了。

You understood everything that was said.

你也有想法、有观点，甚至可能想讲个笑话。

You had ideas, opinions, maybe even a joke.

但轮到你开口时，回答却比预想的简短，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.

这是因为你的理解能力比口语流利度强。

This happens when your understanding is stronger than your speaking fluency.

好消息是，这种差距很常见，一旦你清楚自己的水平，就很容易弥补。

The good news, that gap is very common and very fixable once you know exactly where you are.

你好，Aubrey。

Hello, Aubrey.

你怎么样？

How are you?

我很好，Lindsay。

I'm great, Lindsay.

你今天怎么样？

How are you today?

挺好的，Aubrey。

Good, Aubrey.

我挺好奇的。

I'm curious.

你经常会有那种怕错过什么的焦虑感吗？

Do you often get FOMO?

你会经历这种情绪吗？当然会。

Are you someone that experiences that emotion Absolutely.

对。

A

我老是会有那种怕错过什么的焦虑感。

I get FOMO all the time.

要是去不了派对，或者错过了什么活动，我就觉得自己肯定错过了好多好玩的事儿。

If I can't go to a party or if I miss out on something, I know I'm missing fun times.

真让人受不了。

Hate it.

为了不错过这些，我宁愿带病也硬撑着去参加。

I would almost rather go somewhere sick in order to not miss out.

真的吗？

Really?

这也太有意思了。

That's so funny.

或者如果我太累了，我也会想，我还是去吧，因为我不想

Or if I'm too tired, I'm like, I'm gonna go anyway because I don't

错过所有的乐趣。

wanna miss out on all the fun.

这太有意思了。

That's so funny.

对了，FOMO到底是什么？

And so what is FOMO, by the way?

以防万一，虽然我觉得我们的听众都知道，但还是解释一下。

Just in case any I mean, I don't think I our listeners all know what it is, but just in case.

对。

Yeah.

它的意思是害怕错过。

It stands for fear of missing out.

所以我理解那种感觉。

So I get that.

我理解那种害怕错过好玩事情的心情，如果我不在场的话。

I get that fear of missing out on something fun if I'm not there.

对。

Yes.

然后马特奥提了个问题，这启发了今天这期节目。

And Matteo's asked a question, which is inspiring this episode today.

我就直接念一下这个问题吧。

I'll go ahead and just read the question.

马特奥说，我最近经常听到FOMO这个词。

Matteo said, I've been hearing the word FOMO a lot lately.

你能帮我解释一下这个词吗？

Could you help me out with this word?

我希望你能像往常一样，把这个概念给我讲得清清楚楚。

I hope you can make this one crystal clear to me as always.

新年快乐。

Have a great new year.

我打算用一期 All Ears English 的节目来为这一年画上句号。

I'm closing out the year with an All Ears English episode.

Matteo，太棒了。

Matteos, amazing.

听起来是个超级粉丝。

Sounds like a super fan.

我们很喜欢 Yes。

We love Yes.

Matteo 提过很多很棒的问题。

Matteos has sent in a lot of amazing questions.

这个我特别喜欢。

I loved this one.

所以今天我们聊的是FOMO，还有YOLO。

So we're talking about FOMO today and also YOLO.

这两个词在美国至少现在非常常见，你应该用起来。

These are both so common in, The States at least right now, and you should be using them.

它们都已经

They've both

流行好几年了。

been common for a couple years now.

对吧，Aubrey？

Right, Aubrey?

确实已经存在一段时间了。

They've been around for a little while for sure.

各位，如果你们像Matteo一样喜欢这个节目，就点个关注吧。

Guys, hit the follow button if you, just like Matteo's, love the show.

一定要让它成为你日常生活的一部分。

Make sure you make it part of your daily routine.

我们每周确实做五期节目，所以你几乎可以每天都听《全耳英语》。

We do do five episodes a week, and so you could almost listen to All Ears English every day of the week.

差不多吧。

Almost.

对吧？

Right?

其他日子呢，你可以听《商务英语》或者《雅思能量》。

And the other days, you can listen to Business English or IELTS Energy.

我知道。

I know.

我们其实做了

We've actually so

很多内容，所以你理论上可以每天都听我们品牌的一期节目。

many of it so that you could technically listen to an episode every day of the week from our brand, from us.

对吧？

Right?

对。

Yes.

Business English 是我们的另一档节目，IELTS Energy 是第三档播客。

So Business English is our other show, and IELTS Energy is our third podcast.

也去搜搜看吧。

Go and search for those as well.

可以获取

Can get a

每天都有新的内容，这样你就完全不用担心错过任何精彩节目了。

new one every day, and then you'll never have FOMO for Exactly.

你所有的英语学习

All your English

都是干货。

Good stuff.

好了。

Alright.

所以，说到底还是害怕错过。

So, again, it comes down to fear of missing out.

我觉得我年轻的时候比现在更容易有这种感觉。

I feel like I used to experience this a little bit more when I was younger than I do now.

对我来说，这种感觉好像慢慢淡了一些。

I feel like it's kind of dissipated for me a little bit.

有意思。

Interesting.

现在你错过一些事情也无所谓了。

Now you're okay to miss out on things.

算是吧。

Kind of.

对。

Yeah.

预订之类的，挺好的。

Reservations are like, great.

我倒是很想错过一些东西。

I would love to miss out.

我也希望能错过点啥，拜托了。

I'd love to miss out, please.

挺有意思的，这个词是个缩写，而且总是全大写，对吧？

It's interesting this is written, it's an acronym, it's always written in all caps, right?

就是大写的 F O M O。

So capital F O M O.

对，这挺有意思的。

And yeah, it's interesting.

我们平时会拿它开玩笑。比如有人约了局我们去不了，就会半开玩笑地说一句。

We'll use it like if someone makes plans and we can't attend, we often use it very playfully.

就说：哎呀，我有点错失恐惧症了。

It'll just be like, oh, I have FOMO.

意思就是挺遗憾去不了的。

Meaning like you're sad you can't make it.

你知道你会错过一段快乐的时光。

You know you're going to miss out on a fun time.

但很多时候，比如你可能会对Lindsay说，即使你其实很高兴不能参加，因为这是一种建立联系的方式，让对方知道你真希望自己能到场。

But often, like you might even say this Lindsay, if you're actually glad you can't attend because it's such a way to make someone it's more about building connection to let them know you wish you could be there.

你很想参加。

You would love to attend.

说得好。

That's a good point.

这里有个关于这个用法的问题。

Here's a question about this usage here.

当它指的是已经发生的事情时，我们能用它吗？

Can we use it when it refers to something that's already happening?

比如有人在讲故事，也许出于某种原因你没去。

Like someone's telling a story maybe for whatever reason you didn't go.

是的。

Yes.

对吧？

Right?

直接插话说，听起来太好玩了。

Just interrupt and say, oh, that sounds so fun.

我现在真的特别想参加。

I have so much FOMO right now.

是的。

Yeah.

你现在可别感到错失恐惧症发作。

You can't have FOMO right now.

对。

Yes.

当然可以。

Absolutely.

好的。

Okay.

好的。

Good.

我们还需要知道什么？

What else do we need to know?

还有什么

What else

就是当别人分享，比如你说的，你错过了一个有趣的时刻，对吧？我们也会用这个说法。

is We'll also use this when someone is sharing, like you said, about a fun time you missed, right?

就像，听起来太棒了。

Just like, sounds amazing.

我太羡慕了。

I have so much FOMO.

而且我觉得有必要指出，这不仅仅是青少年和年轻人用的俚语。

And I think it's important to point out that it's not just slang that's used by teenagers and young people.

就像你说的，Lindsay，这个词已经流行好几年了。

Like you said, Lindsay, it's been around a couple of years.

它已经完全被日常用语吸收了。

It's very much been adopted into the vernacular.

是的。

Yes.

任何年龄段的人都可以这么说。

Anyone of any age can say this.

大家都会明白你的意思。

Everyone's going to know what you mean.

对。

Yeah.

而且我觉得YOLO和FOMO这两个词，已经避开了那种成年人一用就变尴尬的陷阱。

And I think this these two, YOLO and FOMO, have kind of transcended this pitfall where it becomes uncool when adults adopt it.

比如上周我们聊到了六七。

Like, last week, we talked about six seven.

六七。

Six seven.

对吧？

Right?

我们到现在还是不知道那是什么意思。

We don't know what that means still.

现在成年人开始尝试

Now that adults are trying

去了解它的意思了。

to know you know what it means.

现在成年人开始想弄明白它的意思，它就不酷了。但这些缩写，尤其是FOMO，真的跳出了那个陷阱。

Now that adults are trying to know what it means, it's not But cool these acronyms, especially FOMO, really kind of transcended that trap.

你不觉得吗？

Don't you think?

是的。

Yes.

那我们举几个例子来说说吧。

So let's use let's share a couple of examples here.

对吧？

Right?

比如说，我明明累得要死，但因为害怕错过，还是去参加了那个派对。

So for example, I went to the party because I had FOMO even though I was exhausted.

这就是我。

This is me.

我看你也干过这种事。

Can see you do it.

你肯定想，管他的，我还是去。

You're like, I'm going anyway.

我就是害怕错过。

I have FOMO.

太有意思了。

That's so funny.

真的很好笑。

That's so funny.

或者他看到别人都出去玩不带他，他的错失恐惧症就犯了。

Or his FOMO kicked in when he saw everyone traveling without him.

我觉得社交媒体在这方面最糟糕了。

I mean, social media is ultimately the worst with this.

它就是这样

It's what

确实加剧了这种情绪，对吧？

It's really compounded it, right?

因为以前我们不太清楚别人在做什么，朋友在做什么。

Because once upon a time, we didn't know that much what other people were doing, what our friends were doing.

所以那时候没那么多错失恐惧。

So there wasn't as much FOMO.

现在呢，我们能看到他们在社交媒体上的动态，然后为自己错过这一切感到郁闷。

Now, we can see their posts on social media and be bummed that we're missing out on all of it.

而且这种情绪可能出现在任何地方。

And it can show up anywhere.

对我来说，我之前说过，我现在不像以前那样经常有这种感受了，但实际上我现在体验的是职业上的错失恐惧。

For me, I said earlier, I don't experience it as much as I used to, but actually now I experience professional FOMO.

所以，当我上领英刷动态时，看到有人在这个会议上演讲，或者那个，我就会有点羡慕那种事情。

So, when I go to LinkedIn and I scroll the feed in LinkedIn, I say, Oh, this person presented at this conference or this I get a little bit of FOMO for that kind of thing.

挺有意思的。

It's funny.

很高兴你提到这一点，因为这不仅仅是关于聚会，对吧？

I'm glad you're pointing that out because it's not just about parties, right?

如果有人告诉我他们能偷空睡个午觉，我可能也会说，哎呀，我也有错失恐惧。

Someone could tell me they were able to sneak in an afternoon nap and I might be like, like, Oh, I have FOMO.

哦，确实，确实。

Oh sure, sure.

对，错过午睡的机会。

Yeah, missing out on napping.

简直不敢想。

Can't think about anything

你会错过的。

you miss.

所以，你可能会因为别人什么都没做而感到错失感，对吧？

So you could have FOMO for someone's not doing anything, right?

没错。

Exactly.

是吧？

Right?

我真希望能什么都不做，对吧？

I wish I was able to do nothing, right?

完全同意。

Totally.

然后就是YOLO（人生苦短），我很喜欢这个说法。

Then YOLO, and I love this one.

对，这个挺有意思的。

Yes, this one's fun.

它的意思是‘你只活一次’。

It stands for you only live once.

所以我们经常用这句话来为冒险、冲动、放纵或冒险的行为找理由。

So we often use this to justify taking a risk, being spontaneous, doing something indulgent or adventurous.

或者比如你有错失恐惧症，即使很累也会去，因为人生只有一次。

Or maybe like if you have FOMO, you're going to go even though you're tired because YOLO.

对。

Yeah.

我只活一次。

I only live once.

我知道。

I know.

有意思的是，我觉得我小时候，我爸经常说这句话。

It's funny because I feel like when I was a kid, my dad used to say this a lot.

他会说，哦，点那个香蕉船吧。

He'd be like, oh, order the banana split.

人生只有一次。

You only live once.

得了吧。

Come on.

对吧？

Right?

不过我觉得那时候它还不是个缩写，像八十年代和九十年代的时候。

But then I don't think it was an acronym then, like in the eighties and the nineties.

对。

Right.

他们非得把整句话都说出来。

They had to say the whole thing.

真是浪费时间。

What a waste of time.

是啊，不过在某些方面，在它变成缩写之前，感觉反而更原汁原味一些。

I know, but it almost feels more authentic before it became an acronym in some ways.

确实。

That's true.

现在就直接说YOLO了。

Now it's just YOLO.

对。

Yeah.

对。

Yeah.

变成缩写后，确实听起来更轻松、更有趣了。

It did become sort of more lighthearted and fun sounding with the acronym.

确实。

It did.

更像Instagram那种风格。

More Instagram y kind of.

对吧？

Right?

对。

Mhmm.

比如说，我下个月要去澳大利亚。

So for example, I'm headed to Australia next month.

YOLO。

YOLO.

对吧？

Right?

所以你会说

So you you kinda say

用它来

it as a way of

为自己正在做的事找理由，就是说你在享受生活，大概是这样。

justifying what you're doing, that you're living your life, sort of.

我们经常用那种抑扬顿挫的语调，就像你刚才听到的那样。

And we often do use that sing songy tone that you're hearing there.

对吧？

Right?

YOLO。

YOLO.

就是那种强调的语气。

Kind of emphasize it like that.

没错。

Exactly.

那下一个你怎么说？

And how would you say the next one?

所以他们决定辞职搬到国外，因为YOLO。

So they decided to quit their jobs and move abroad because YOLO.

所以，不一定非得是YOLO。

So, it doesn't always have to be YOLO.

这两个例子的语调不一样，因为你在‘因为’后面停顿了一下，然后把它作为理由时又停顿了一下。

The intonation is different there between the two examples because you kind of paused after because and then you sort of pause there when you're giving it as a reason.

对吧？

Right?

没错。

Exactly.

对吧？

Right?

我就想，是啊，他们做出这么大的改变，因为人生只有一次，对吧？

I'm like, yeah, they're doing this big change because you only live once, right?

但也可以更严肃一点说YOLO。

But you can also say YOLO there sort of a little more seriously.

对，挺有意思的。

Yeah, interesting.

好了，我们还需要知道什么？

All right, what else do we need to know?

这个表达带有什么情绪？

What emotions does this come

这个挺有意思的。

This is interesting.

所以这算是一个小技巧，帮你记住它们的区别。

So this is sort of a pro tip to remember the difference between them.

FOMO 更多是出于焦虑。

FOMO is sort of a little more anxiety driven.

我不想错过。

I don't want to miss out.

而 YOLO 则是关于拥抱风险、拥抱乐趣。

Whereas YOLO is sort of about risk embracing fun embracing.

对吧？

Right?

我应该现在就做，因为我只活一次。

I should do it now because I only live once.

没错。

Exactly.

我喜欢这个说法。

I love it.

所以它们确实不一样。

So they are different.

意思不同，但这两个词现在都很流行、很常见。

The meaning is different, but they're both rampant and common.

对吧？

Right?

完全正确。

Totally.

对。

Yeah.

想象一下，你正跟母语者进行一场语速很快的对话。

Imagine being in a fast conversation with native speakers.

有人快速插句话，另一个人马上接茬，大家反应都特别快。等你好不容易把刚才的话听明白、消化完，话题早就翻篇了。

Someone makes a quick comment, another person jumps in, everyone reacts instantly, and by the time you've fully processed what was said, the conversation has already moved on.

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，有俚语、语调变化和打断。

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.

好的，Aubrey。

All right, Aubrey.

好，我们开始角色扮演吧。

Let's let's yeah, let's get into a role play.

我们是大学同学，大学。

We are college buddies, college

我先开始。

I'll start us out.

好的。

Okay.

这周末你去参加杰米的生日派对吗？

Are you coming to Jamie's birthday this weekend?

我不确定。

I'm not sure.

我有很多功课要补。

I have so much studying to catch

要补的。

up on.

我也是，但大家都去。

Same, but everyone's going.

哦，我现在有点怕错过了。

Oh, now I'm getting FOMO.

我知道如果不去我会后悔的。

I know I'll regret it if I don't go.

我也是。

Me too.

我觉得我会去，你也应该来。

I think I'm gonna go, and you should too.

我们都该放松一下了。

We could both use a break.

确实。

True.

你知道吗？

You know what?

人生苦短，及时行乐。

YOLO.

不错。

Nice.

不错。

Nice.

我觉得大学可能是人们最容易感到错失恐惧症的时候。

I feel like college is probably where people are often at the worst FOMO that they have.

对，确实

Yeah, there are

有那么多好玩的事，但他们又要忙学业又要打工，没法全都参加。

so many fun things going on and they're so busy with school and work and they're not able to go all of it.

总得错过一些东西。

Have to miss out on some things.

或者哪怕只是，我记得上大学的时候，同学们会一起去食堂吃饭，如果他们没叫上我，我肯定会有错失恐惧症。

Or even just if because I remember in college the kids would go together to dinner, Go to the dining hall and like if they went without me, I would get FOMO for sure.

心里就会想，哎呀，我错过了那个。

Be like, oh, I missed out on that.

不就是大家一起去吃个饭嘛，对吧？

It's just a group going to dinner, Right?

但事情就是这么简单。

But it's so simple.

之所以这么简单，是因为身边总有好玩的事可以跟朋友一起做。

So simple just because there was constantly something fun to do with peers.

对吧？

Right?

确实。

For sure.

没错。

It's true.

大学生活真是段奇妙的经历。

College is a trip

确实。

for sure.

但如果你在大学生活里没经历过几次错失恐惧症，那可能就没真正融入进去。

But if you didn't have FOMO at least a few times in college, you probably failed out.

对。

Yeah.

毕竟只要你在认真学习，就肯定得错过不少事情。

Because there's so many things you're gonna have to miss if you're studying at all.

确实是这样。

It's so true.

真的没错。

It's so true.

好的。

All right.

所以这里我们两个都用上了。

So we used both here.

然后你就说，哦，你来不来派对？

And so you said, Oh, are you coming to the party?

我说，我得学习。

I said, I have to study.

你就说，来吧，大家都去。

And you said, Come on, everyone's going.

我知道我是在

I know I'm

对你

in your

施加压力。

pressure.

知道吧，你用了‘你’。

Know you used you.

对。

Yeah.

大家都去。

Everyone's going.

然后我说，哎呀，我现在开始有错失恐惧症了。

And then I said, Oh, now I'm getting FOMO.

对吧？

Right?

是的。

Yep.

然后我说，我也是。

And I said, Me too.

我打算去。

I'm going to go.

你也应该去。

And you should too.

然后我就说，我们俩都需要从学习中休息一下。

And then I'm like, We could both use a break from studying.

学习时间长了，总得休息一下。

Can only study for so long before you need a break.

对。

Yeah.

今天这期节目的听众拿到文字稿后，会看到我说‘我要去’。

And our listeners who have the transcripts from today's episode are gonna see I'm going to go.

但奥布里刚才说的那句话特别地道、特别自然。

But what Aubrey just said is so native and natural.

她说‘我也去’。

She said, me too.

‘我要去’。

I'm gonna go.

对吧？

Right?

‘我要去’。

I'm gonna go.

所以我们就把它全混在一起说了。

So it's We scram it all together.

对。

Yes.

你们可以在我们的发音课程里了解更多。

And you guys can learn more about that in our pronunciation course.

对吧？

Right?

访问 allearsenglish.com/pronunciation。

Go to allearsenglish.com/pronunciation.

我们在课程的一个关键部分讲了这个，而且课程的反馈非常好，Aubrey。

We cover that in a really key part of the course, and the feedback from the course is turning out to be really good, Aubrey.

是的。

Yes.

我们收到了一些非常好的反馈。

We've had some really nice Yes.

说得太对了。

That's so true.

最地道、最自然的做法之一，就是搞清楚什么时候该省略字母，什么时候该连读。

This is one of the most native natural things you can do is to find out when you should be dropping letters, when you should be assimilating sounds.

母语者自然而然会做很多事，但很多语言学习者却没意识到自己也需要这么做。

So many things that natives do naturally that a lot of language learners don't realize they need to do.

是的。

Yes.

完全同意。

A 100%.

各位，继续和我们一起学习吧。

Guys, keep learning with us.
