AEE 第10集：如何像母语者一样表达自己

这是《All Ears English》播客第10期。

This is an All Ears English podcast episode 10.

教你像母语者一样表达自己。

How to express yourself like a native English speaker.

欢迎收听《All Ears English》播客，在这里，你终于能听到真实的英语母语对话，提升商务和生活中的流利度。

Welcome to the All Ears English podcast where you'll finally get real native English conversation and fluency for business and life.

我们相信，学英语的关键在于交流，而不是完美。

We believe in connection, not perfection when it comes to learning English.

接下来是你们的主持人：英语冒险家林赛·麦马洪，和来自纽约的电台女孩米歇尔·卡普兰，她们今天从波士顿和纽约为大家带来节目。

Now here are your hosts, Lindsey McMahon, the English adventurer, and Michelle Kaplan, the New York radio girl coming to you from Boston and New York City, USA.

本期内容，教你三个地道的英语表达，帮你聊聊对居住地的热爱和享受。

This episode, learn three new and native expressions in English that you can use to talk about loving and enjoying the place you live.

你有没有过这样的感觉：英语还不错，但总觉得还没达到自己想要的水平？

Do you ever feel like your English is good, but not quite where you want it to be?

也许你能正常对话，但一说到复杂的想法，还是会犹豫不决。

Maybe you can have conversations, but you still hesitate when expressing complex ideas.

你可能心里清楚想表达什么，但就是说不出口，听起来不够自然。

Maybe you know what you want to say, but you can't always say it naturally.

如果这跟你的情况相符，那我们的B2英语流利课程就是为你量身打造的。

If that sounds familiar, our b two English fluency course was designed for you.

你会学会更自然地说话，自信地表达自己，彻底摆脱中级阶段的停滞感。

You'll learn how to speak more naturally, express yourself with confidence, and finally stop feeling stuck at the intermediate level.

嘿，米歇尔。

Hey, Michelle.

你今天感觉怎么样？

How are you feeling today?

纽约那边最近怎么样？

What's going on in New York?

嗨，琳达。

Hey, Lindsay.

我挺好的。

I'm good.

我挺好的。

I'm good.

今天秋意浓浓的，挺凉快，一切都挺顺的。

Kind of a crisp fall day, but everything is good.

所以，还不错。

So, yeah, that's good.

太棒了。

That's awesome.

如果你们是第一次听到《All Ears English》，那现在介绍一下，Michelle 就住在纽约市。

So if our listeners, if you guys are just finding All Ears English for the first time, new Michelle is based in New York City.

太让人兴奋了。

So exciting.

我超爱纽约。

I love New York.

我也一样。

Me too.

我也一样。

Me too.

而且我最近发现，上一期我们聊到过，爱上你所居住的城市这件事。

And I'm I'm finding, like, yesterday on the on the last episode, we were talking a little bit about, you know, falling in love with the city that you're in.

我发现自己以前对纽约有点习以为常了，但现在我又重新爱上了它。

And I find that I feel like for, like, a little while, I was kinda just kinda used to New York, and now I'm, like, falling in love with it all over again.

这太棒了。

Oh, that's amazing.

这太棒了。

That's amazing.

是什么让你有了这种转变呢？

What what prompted that sort of change?

我觉得是因为以前做的事少了，现在出去得更多了。

I think, like, a lot of time not doing as much and now going out and doing more.

而且纽约最近冒出好多新东西，我都看在眼里。

And, you know, and also, like, just new things that are developing in New York that I'm seeing a lot of.

好多新鲜又让人兴奋的变化。

So new exciting things.

我太喜欢这样了。

Oh, I love that.

我太喜欢这样了。

I love that.

没错。

Yeah.

纽约这座城市一直在变。

New York is a city that's always changing.

对吧？

Right?

它总是在变。

It's always changing.

而且，上一期里，如果你还没听，记得回去听第九期，然后再回来听这一期。

It's always and so, yeah, in the last episode, guys, if you haven't listened, go back to episode nine and then come back today to this one.

在第九期里，我们聊过，就像米歇尔说的，怎么在国外爱上一个地方。

But in episode nine, we talked about, like Michelle said, how to fall in love when you're abroad, right, with the place you're in.

如果你住在美国，不管是纽约、加州还是科罗拉多的丹佛，我们都想教你怎样爱上那里。

You know, if you're living in The US, you're living in New York City, California, Denver, Colorado, we wanna show you how to fall in love.

上次我们已经讲过了。

We've talked about that last time.

今天我们要挑一些适合这种对话的词汇出来。

Today, we're gonna pull out some vocabulary that really fits in to a conversation like that one.

对吧，米歇尔？

Right, Michelle?

对。

Right.

没错。

Right.

正是。

Right.

完全正确。

Exactly.

所以，今天我们来教你们一些很实用的词。

So, yeah, we have some good words to teach you today.

是的。

Yeah.

太好了。

This is great.

太棒了。

This is great.

我们昨天可能没提到这些词，你们在文字稿里也找不到。

So we didn't necessarily say these yesterday, guys, that you won't find them in the transcripts.

但如果你和母语者聊怎么热爱自己的城市，这些表达肯定会冒出来。

But if you are having a conversation with a native speaker about how to love your city, these are gonna come up.

明白吗？

Alright?

对。

Right.

对。

Right.

对。

Right.

好的。

Alright.

我们先看第一个。

Let's do the first one.

那是什么？

What is it?

好的。

Okay.

我们开始吧。

Let's do it.

这是一种丰富的体验。

So it is rich experience.

我说丰富的体验时，米歇尔，是指很多钱，一百美元的钞票吗？

Now when I say rich experience, Michelle, do I mean lots of dollars and cents and dollar bills, $100 bills?

是的。

Yeah.

你是说那种充实、有意义的？

You mean, like, full, meaningful.

充实且有意义。

Full and meaningful.

很有韧性

Robust.

我特别喜欢‘韧性’这个词

I love the word robust.

对

Yes.

没错

Yes.

所以，米歇尔，你在纽约有过什么样的经历，能算得上是那种既有韧性又很丰富的纽约体验呢？

So what would be an example of an experience you've had, Michelle, in in New York that's kind of a robust, a rich New York experience?

你觉得是哪一个？

What would you say?

这个问题真不好答

Tough question.

你这下可把我问住了

Off guard with that one.

纽约的经历。

A New York experience.

没错。

That's Yeah.

一段丰富的经历。

A rich experience.

嗯，我想想，我该说……抱歉，我有点乱。

I mean, I guess I can I I'm gonna go I'm sorry?

我不提纽约了，因为昨天我已经讲过印度了。

I'm not gonna do New York because I talked spoke about India yesterday.

我要说的丰富经历是在印度，就是我去参加的那个婚礼，之前跟你们提过的。

I'll say that my rich experience was in India, like, getting to go to that wedding that I spoke about.

大家一定要听第九期，里面还有更多关于我们旅行的故事。

Guys, definitely listen to episode nine to hear more about our travels.

哦，印度啊。

Oh, the India.

我太喜欢了。

I love that.

去参加那个婚礼，确实是一段非常丰富的经历。

That that's definitely probably a very rich experience going to that wedding.

对吧？

Right?

是的。

Mhmm.

对。

Mhmm.

特别有意思。

Very fun.

你呢？

What about you?

你有没有过什么特别丰富的经历，不管是旅行中还是在自己城市里？

What's a rich experience that you've had either while traveling or in your own city?

是的。

Yeah.

嗯，大概吧，我还是像之前说的那样，回头去听上一期节目吧。

Probably well, I'm just gonna in the same way, I'm gonna go back to what I mentioned in the last one goes guys, go back to that episode.

去听一下那期节目。

Listen to that episode.

那期特别棒。

It was a great one.

参加那个辣椒节是一次很丰富的体验。

Rich experience attending that chili festival.

不是那种辣椒蔬菜，是那种辣味料理，你知道的，对吧？

Again, not chili, like not the chilies, the vegetable, but actual chili, like the meal, right?

那道汤羹类的菜。

The soup, soupy The

一道浓稠的菜肴。

soupy meal.

那是一道浓稠的炖菜。

The soupy meal.

你知道吗，当时丹佛的天气开始变冷了。

So, you know, it was getting cold in Denver.

那是我刚到这儿的第二周。

It was my very, it was like my second week here.

这场辣椒料理比赛一共有大约四十人参加。

There were like 40 people competing in this chili competition.

这不只是个辣椒节，更是一场谁做的辣椒炖菜最棒的竞赛。

So it wasn't just a chili festival, it was a competition to see who had the best chili.

我最近在另一集里好像也提到过这事。

I think I mentioned this recently too on another episode.

特别有意思。

Very cool.

是的。

Yeah.

就是尝了各种不同的辣酱。

And just trying the different chili.

有业余的，也有专业的。

There were amateurs and there were pros.

任何人都可以摆个摊，带上自己的秘方。

So anyone could set up a chili table and bring their own recipe.

我其实也可以参加。

Like, I could have done it.

餐馆那边也设了摊位。

And then restaurants also had a table.

所以业余选手跟专业选手比拼。

It was the So amateurs competing against the pros.

这挺有意思的。

That's fun.

是的。

Yeah.

冠军还挺有意思的。

And the winner, interesting.

我觉得辣椒菜在巴西并不算特别流行，但其实赢的是家巴西餐厅，不对，等等。

I don't think that chili is a huge dish in Brazil, but it was actually a Brazilian restaurant or sorry.

应该是家来自葡萄牙的葡萄牙餐厅赢了。

I think a Portuguese restaurant from Portugal that won.

我根本不知道葡萄牙那边这菜这么常见，但那碗辣椒确实特别棒。

And I didn't even know that was a big meal in Portugal, but it was a really good chili.

太好吃了。

So good.

对。

Mhmm.

真棒。

Awesome.

真棒。

Awesome.

太喜欢了。

Love it.

太喜欢了。

Love it.

好的。

Okay.

是的。

Yeah.

还有别的吗？

What's another one?

还有哪些表达可以用来描述经历或事情呢？比如

What's another expression that you can use to talk about experiences or things So like

这个表达我们得注意，别用得太频繁，我觉得。

this is one that, you know, we wanna be careful if we're saying this too much, I think.

对吧？

Right?

对，没错。

Because Right.

其实我早就想做点什么了。

So what it is is I've been meaning to do something.

比如说你住在纽约，就会说：哎，我早就想去看一下大都会艺术博物馆或者现代艺术博物馆了。

So, you know, maybe you're living in New York and you say, oh, I've been meaning to try the Met or the MoMA.

对吧？

Right?

纽约的那个现代艺术博物馆，米歇尔，是哪个？

What's the MoMA, Michelle, in New York?

现代艺术博物馆。

Museum of Modern Art.

是的。

Mhmm.

大都会博物馆就是大都会艺术博物馆。

And the Met is the Metropolitan Museum.

对吧？

Right?

是的。

Yes.

没错。

Yes.

它非常有名。

It's called very famous.

特别有名。

Very famous.

作为纽约本地人，你一直想做但还没做过的事是什么？

What's something you've been meaning to do in New York that you've never done, even as a local?

天哪。

Oh my gosh.

这问题真难答。

These are tough.

我懂。

I know.

对我来说，问问题比回答更容易。

I've it's easier for me to ask the question than to answer.

有一件事我来纽约这么久还没做过。

Something that I've been meaning to do in New York that I haven't done.

哦，你知道吗，我说个事儿。

Oh, you know, I you know what?

其实吧，这不光是纽约的事，到处都一样。

I actually I mean, this isn't this isn't solely for New York because it's all around.

对。

Mhmm.

但那个梵高沉浸式体验。

But that Van Gogh experience.

哦。

Oh.

你听说过这个吗？

You know about that?

有点了解。

Kind of.

就是一种沉浸式体验，你进去之后，四周全是梵高的画作——我知道发音可能不太准——这玩意儿好像正在全美巡展，说不定全世界都在办。

It's like a it's like a whole experience, like, where you, like, go in and they have, like, all these Van Gogh or I know that's not the correct pronunciation, but but you and it's kinda going all around the country, I think, or probably all around the world.

对。

Yeah.

没错。

Yeah.

是啊。

Yeah.

我明白你说的是哪个。

I know what you're talking about.

我爸妈在丹佛刚去过。

My parents just did that in Denver.

哦，他们喜欢吗？

Oh, did they like it?

喜欢。

They did.

特别喜欢。

They loved it.

是的。

Yeah.

觉得特别酷。

They thought it was really cool.

真的特别

It was really

酷。

cool.

我早就想去了。

I've been meaning to go to that.

是的。

Yes.

哦，没错。

Oh, yeah.

太棒了。

That's awesome.

太棒了。

That's awesome.

我喜欢这个。

I love that.

没错。

Yeah.

对我来说，我其实一直想在科罗拉多做件事，天哪。

For me, I've well, something I've been meaning to do in Colorado oh my gosh.

这个问题真难答，是吧？

This is a tough question, isn't it?

我一直想多去爬几座十四峰。

I've been meaning to hike more fourteeners.

对吧？

Right?

我只爬过两三个，但在科罗拉多，这可是很多人的一种生活方式，对吧？

I've only hiked two or three, but this is a lifestyle, right, that people have in in Colorado.

他们都会去爬那些特别高的山。

They hike these huge mountains.

对吧？

Right?

所以我一直想多去爬几次。

So I've been meaning to do more.

就算你已经做过一点了，但还是想做得更多，对吧？

So it's even if something that you've done a little bit of, but you've wanted to do more.

对吧？

Right?

我一直想多做点这种事。

I've been meaning to do more of this.

这样也挺好。

That's okay too.

不一定要从来没试过的东西才行。

It doesn't have to be something that you've just never done at all.

对吧？

Right?

是的。

Right.

没错。

Absolutely.

说得对。

That's true.

确实如此。

That's true.

是的

Yeah.

好的

Okay.

太好了

So good.

最后一个意思是去某个地方或参加某个活动。

And then the last one is talk is to get to a place or an event.

就是去某个地方。

So to get somewhere.

对吧？

Right?

对的

Mhmm.

是的，各位。

Yeah, guys.

所以把这个记下来。

So write this down.

我知道我们的听众朋友们，在另一期节目里，我们会帮你们理清 go 和 get 的区别，以及各种用 get to 或 get 某物的方式。

I know our listeners guys, in another episode, we're gonna help you with this, the differences between go and get, and all the different ways to use to get to or to get something.

那这句话是什么意思呢，米歇尔？

But this means what, Michelle?

我们还能用哪个动词来表达呢？

What would be another verb that we could say?

就是到，比如到某个地方，到达？

To get so to get to to arrive?

是的。

Yeah.

有点像是到达，或者被送到。

Kind of to arrive or to be transported.

对。

Yeah.

或者说是到达。

Or to right.

对。

Yeah.

不过总的来说，它的意思就是找到办法让自己去某个地方或参加某个活动，也就是物理上到达那里。

But based that's the general meaning, right, is to find a way to move yourself to a place or an event, right, physically arrive there.

那我们要怎么把它放进句子里，好让我们的听众理解呢？

So how would you I mean, how would we put this into a sentence for our listeners?

其实今天咱们可以来个角色扮演。

We should have a role play today, actually.

好的。

Alright.

嗯，我可以这么说，比如……我可以把它们结合起来。

Well, I could say, like like, I've been well, I could combine them.

我可以说，我一直想买票，或者说，不是买票，而是想去参加某个活动。

I could say, I've been meaning to get tickets or well, not to get tickets because I want to get to an event.

我一直想去看MoMA博物馆的新展览。

I've been meaning to get to the MoMA Museum to check out the new exhibit.

哦，你把两个意思合在一起了。

Oh, you combined both of them.

这个我们完全可以做。

We can totally do.

我就是这么做的。

I did.

是的。

Yeah.

我早就想去了，因为我想有个丰富的体验。

I've been meaning because I want a rich experience.

对。

Right.

因为你想要的就是这种充实的体验。

Because you want a rich exactly.

没错。

Exactly.

对。

Yeah.

那太好了。

So that's perfect.

我其实一直想去看那个博物馆。

So I've been meaning to get to that museum.

我早就想去看那个梵高特展了。

I've been meaning to get to that Van Gogh exhibit.

对吧？

Right?

去那儿，不只是说物理上到达，也意味着在生活里腾出时间和空间来好好体验。

So to get to somewhere and so it conveys, like, physically getting there, but it also conveys kind of making the time and space in your life for it.

是不是？

Doesn't it?

没错。

Right.

正是如此。

Exactly.

你得腾出时间来。

You have to make that time.

对。

Yeah.

所以当你这么说‘我还没能去成’，其实是在说你太忙了，或者没把这事当回事。

So by by saying I haven't been able to get there, you're kinda saying I'm too busy or I haven't made it a priority.

通过一个人这么说，我们其实能了解很多关于他的事。

So we can learn a lot about someone by what they say if they say this.

对吧，米歇尔？

Can't we, Michelle?

是的。

Yeah.

哦，当然。

Oh, yeah.

毫无疑问。

For sure.

我的意思是，琳达，这对你现在的生活有什么意义呢？

I mean, Lindsay, like, how does this apply to your life now?

是不是有什么事情是我还不知道的？

Like, is there something that I don't know.

对。

Yeah.

那我们来看看。

So let's see.

从更实际的角度来说，我可以这么说，丹佛是个大城市。

On a more practical level, I could say so Denver is a big city.

范围很广。

Like, it's broad.

这座城市范围特别广。

It's a wide city.

比波士顿大得多。

Like, it spans more miles than Boston.

对吧？

Right?

所以，出行方面，我要去城市另一头可比在波士顿时难多了。

So, you know, when it comes to getting around, you know, it's hard for me to get to a place across the city compared to how easy it was in Boston.

在波士顿，我几乎走哪儿都方便，去城另一边也轻松。

I could pretty much walk anywhere in Boston, right, to get to the other side of town.

去城另一边特别方便。

It was easy to get to the other side of town.

哦。

Oh.

但在丹佛就没那么容易了。

In Denver, it's not as easy.

我最后干脆用电动滑板车代步，去那儿啊，哦，去哪儿来着？

What I end up doing is taking a scooter to get to Oh, do do?

哦，对啊。

Oh, yeah.

我啊，特别喜欢骑电动滑板车。

I'm a I'm a scoot I'm into scooting.

哦，我们还没聊过这个，米歇尔。

Oh, we haven't talked about this, Michelle.

哦，没有。

Oh, No.

特别喜欢。

Big time.

是的。

Yeah.

我可能在节目里跟奥布里聊过这事，不过

Maybe I talked with this about this with Aubrey on the on the show, but

这挺酷的。

That's pretty cool.

对。

Yeah.

纽约有电动滑板车吗？

Do you have scooters in in New York?

很流行吗？

Is that a big thing?

我们附近曾经试过，但后来取消了。

We had tried it out nearby where I live, and then they decided against it.

我平时在纽约没怎么见过，可能我没注意。

I haven't really seen them much around New York, but maybe I'm not paying attention.

我儿子骑滑板车。

My son rides a scooter.

我知道。

I know.

我知道。

I know.

我知道。

I know.

滑板车真棒。

Scooters are awesome.

确实如此。

They are.

我觉得这得看城市，每个城市都不一样。

I think it depends on the city, the city by city.

城市自己做决定，但用起来特别方便，只要在手机上付个钱就行。

The cities make decisions on it, but it's so easy because all you gotta do is pay on your phone.

你随时都能找到车。

You pick it up anywhere.

用完随便停哪儿都行，比自行车方便多了。

You drop it off anywhere, and it's just simpler than a bike.

比网约车便宜，比出租车方便，又比走路快多了。

It's cheaper than a Lyft, like a car, right, car service, easier than a taxi, and easy and faster than walking.

所以真的特别棒。

So it's just great.

我特别喜欢。

I love it.

而且还挺好玩的。

It's fun too.

这确实不错。

That's cool.

对。

Yeah.

确实挺好玩的。

They are fun.

确实挺好玩的。

They are fun.

我每次稍微试一下，都觉得挺有意思的。

Whenever I've, like, tried them out a little bit, it is fun.

对。

Yeah.

真的特别

They're super

有趣。

fun.

所以朋友们，我们鼓励你们回去再听一听昨天的那期节目，然后试着用今天学到的这些地道表达和别人聊聊，比如你刚搬到国外的城市，想做些什么。

So guys, we wanna encourage you to go back again, listen to yesterday's episode, and then have a conversation maybe using some of this natural native vocabulary that you've gotten from us today and talk about, you know, what you wanna get into in your new city you're living abroad.

对吧，米歇尔？

Right, Michelle?

我特别喜欢。

I love it.

我特别喜欢。

I love it.

太棒了。

That's so cool.

对。

Yes.

再强调一下，你听好了。

And, again, you know, listen.

也许你感兴趣的这些事，会帮你爱上这个地方。

And maybe these things that you get into will help you fall in love.

哦，我太喜欢了。

Oh, I love it.

好的。

Alright.

真不错，Michelle。

Very cool, Michelle.

我下次见你

I'll see you on

下一期很快就上线了。

the next episode very soon.

保重。

Take care.

好的。

Alright.

再见，林赛。

Bye, Lindsey.

再见。

Bye.
