今天，你将学到四种在美国很受欢迎的有趣游戏，可以在公路旅行或任何时候玩。

Today, you'll learn four fun games that are popular in The States that you can play on a road trip or anytime.

你有没有听过母语者说话，心想：我每个词都懂，但还是有点摸不着头脑？

Have you ever listened to native speakers and thought, I understand the words, but I still feel slightly lost.

那是因为真实的英语对话不仅仅是词汇。

That's because real English conversations include more than vocabulary.

还有语速、连读、文化背景和口语表达。

There's speed, there's connected speech, there are cultural references and casual phrases.

你的大脑得实时处理所有这些。

Your brain has to process all of this in real time.

如果对话有时让你觉得吃力，那可能只是说明你准备好进入下一阶段的训练了。

If conversations sometimes feel overwhelming, it may simply mean you're ready for the next level of training.

嘿，米歇尔。

Hey, Michelle.

最近怎么样？

How's it going?

挺好的。

Really well.

奥布里，你呢？

Aubrey, how are you?

我对这期关于游戏的节目特别兴奋。

I'm so excited for this episode about games.

我超爱玩游戏。

I love games.

夏天自驾游最棒的部分之一就是路上的游戏。

One of the best parts of a summer road trip is the road trip games.

我特别喜欢开车的时候玩游戏、聊天，我不想大家都盯着屏幕。

A huge fan of playing games when driving, chatting, I don't want everyone on screens.

我就说，咱们来玩个有趣的游戏吧。

I'm like let's play a fun game.

所以今天我们要分享一些美国文化中最受欢迎的自驾游游戏。

So today we're sharing some of the most popular road trip games in American culture.

太好玩了。

So fun.

我喜欢这个。

I love this.

这真的非常棒。

This is really, really good.

你们可以学一些游戏。

You guys can learn some games.

各位，这是我们“夏日狂欢”系列的第三部分。

And so guys, this is part three of our Splash Into Summer series.

所以，你们会学到一些特别有趣的游戏，可以在夏季自驾游中随时用来增进感情。

So yeah, you're gonna learn about really fun games that you can use to connect on summer road trips at any time.

这真的很棒。

This is really great.

对。

Yeah.

因为所有这些

Because all

都可以随时玩。

of these can be played any time.

这些游戏在公路旅行中很有趣，因为你不需要任何道具。

They're fun on a road trip because you don't need any materials.

坐在车里就能玩。

You can just play when you're sitting in a car.

你身边什么都没有。

You have no nothing with you.

但它们随时都可以玩。

But they could be played anytime.

所以我们在迪士尼乐园之类的主题公园排队时经常玩这些游戏，因为这种游戏随时都能玩起来。

So we play all of these a lot waiting in line at, like, Disneyland theme parks because all it is, it's the type of game that you can play on the fly anytime.

我们好无聊。

We're bored.

来玩个游戏吧。

Let's play a game.

所以我很期待，米歇尔。

So I'm excited, Michelle.

让我们听听这期节目。

Let's hear the episode.

好的。

Alright.

嘿，米歇尔。

Hey, Michelle.

一切都好吗？

How's everything?

嘿，林赛。

Hey, Lindsay.

挺好的。

Good.

挺好的。

Good.

挺好的。

Good.

我现在特别想来一场公路旅行。

I am in the mood to take a road trip.

公路旅行啊。

A road trip.

我超爱公路旅行的。

I love road trips.

那是最棒的。

They are the best.

我吃零食。

I snacks.

知道，零食嘛。

Know The snacks.

哦，对。

Oh, yeah.

比如，你最喜欢的公路旅行零食是什么？

Like, what's your favorite road

公路旅行零食？

trip snack?

嗯，这要看我跟谁一起旅行了。

Well, you know, it depends on who I'm road tripping with.

但有时候，比如糖果或者小零食，对。

But sometimes, like, candies or a little yeah.

像巧克力、棒棒糖之类的。

Like, chocolates or lollipops or something.

但当我那次环游全国的大旅行时，就不能这样了。

But when I did my big road trip around the country, I couldn't do that.

就只有冰咖啡。

It was just iced coffee.

就是黑冰咖啡。

Just black iced coffee.

我就只喝那个。

That's all I did.

没吃零食。

I didn't do snacks.

因为不然的话，你开两个月的车，每天都吃零食。

Because otherwise, you take a two month road trip and you eat snacks every day.

对。

Right.

对。

Right.

对。

Right.

但买零食确实挺有意思的，我也说不上来。

But it is fun to get the snacks, like and I don't know.

就是有种感觉，比如，如果是你自己算的话，那就不算数。

There's something like, oh, it doesn't count if it's if it's your count.

对。

Yeah.

如果你在路上。

If you're on the road.

对。

Right.

对。

Right.

如果你不在的话。

If you're no.

确实算。

It does.

如果你在路上，那就不算那么回事了。

If you're on the road, it doesn't count as much.

对。

Right.

是的。

Yeah.

比如说，你不会无缘无故地吃掉一整袋Chex Mix，对吧？

Like, you wouldn't you wouldn't eat, like, unnecessarily, like, an entire bag of, like, Chex Mix, like Yes.

当你只是坐着的时候，也许你会。

When you're, you know, just, like, sitting or maybe you would.

我不知道。

I don't know.

你想怎么做都行。

And whatever you wanna do, that's fine.

但在路上，就好像，哦，我们只是在吃而已。

Like but, like, on the road, it's it's something like, oh, well, we're just eating.

对。

Yeah.

当然。

For sure.

你打算去哪儿自驾游？

Where are you thinking about taking a road trip to?

哦，我，我也不知道。

Oh, I'm I don't know.

我需要你给点建议。

I'll need some advice from you.

也许你可以给我列个清单，给我一些想法。

Maybe you can give me a list and give give me some ideas.

这个我可以做到。

I could do that.

但是，是的，Lindsay，你自驾游经验很丰富，包括一次非常特别的旅行，我们的听众其实可以和你一起去。

But, yeah, Lindsay, you've taken a ton of road trips, including a very special one that actually our listeners can go on with you.

我吗？

Me?

是不是很疯狂？

Isn't that crazy?

是的，各位。

Yeah, guys.

我知道。

I know.

这个课程叫“连接沟通者在线课程”。

It's called the connected communicator online course.

我租了一辆车，开了12000英里，绕着全国转了一大圈，去了芝加哥、加利福尼亚、纽约市、得克萨斯、南方腹地，到处都去了，还有西部的牛仔之乡。

I rented a car, drove 12,000 miles, a big loop around the country, went to Chicago, California, New York City, Texas, the Deep South, all over the place, cowboy country out here in the West.

我会带你一起看我采访母语者的那些视频。

And I take you through these interviews that I did with native speakers.

那么，米歇尔，要加入这个课程，我们该去哪里呢？

So to get into that course, Michelle, where can we go?

去 allearsenglish.com/connection。

Go to allearsenglish.com/connection.

好的。

Alright.

这绝对是互联网上最独特的英语课程。

Definitely the most unique English course on the Internet.

毫无疑问。

No question.

好的。

All right.

说到在车里能做的事情，米歇尔，你觉得有哪些呢？

So talking about things that we can do in the car, I mean, what does that come to, Michelle?

对。

Yeah.

嗯，我想起我小时候。

Well, I mean, I think of like when I was a kid.

就像Lindsay提到的，你跟我说过你以前会去特拉华，对吧？

Like Lindsay, mentioned you you told me that you used to go to Delaware, like Yes.

和你爸爸一起自驾游。

With your dad on road trip.

嗯哼。

Uh-huh.

你当时是喜欢在车里待着，还是那种一直问“到了没”的小孩？

Were you happy to be in the car for a while, or were you like an are we there yet kid?

我这么说是什么意思呢？

And what do I mean by that?

我觉得在长途旅行中，当我和我哥坐在旅行车后座的时候，你知道，典型的九十年代风格，我真的很讨厌那样，因为我哥总是很烦人。

I think on long trips, when my brother and I were in the back of the station wagon, you know, typical nineties style, I definitely hated that because my brother was always, you know, obnoxious.

而且就是那种“我们什么时候才能到啊？”

And just when when are we gonna be there?

那真是反复念叨的话。

It was the refrain.

对吧？

Right?

一直问我爸妈，我可怜的爸妈。

Constantly asking my parents, my poor parents.

嗯。

Mhmm.

但只有我和我爸的时候，我能坐前排，那种时候我更喜欢。

But when it was just me and my dad and I got to sit in the front, that kind of thing, think I enjoyed more.

那你呢？

So what about you?

你小时候在车里是不是也挺闹腾的？

Are you kind of angsty as a kid in the car?

我得问我爸妈才知道。

I'd have to ask my parents.

我其实不太记得了，但，对，可能吧。

I can't really remember, but, yeah, probably.

对。

Uh-huh.

但是，你知道，那会很有趣。

But but, you know, it'd be fun.

而且孩子们在车里可以玩一些东西，比如一些典型的游戏。

And there are things that you can do in the car as kids, like typical typical games you can play.

就像，我猜你可能会叫它汽车游戏或者公路旅行游戏之类的，这些游戏在小孩和大人中都很常见或者很有名。

Like, I guess you might would call it a car game or a road trip game or something like that that are that are, like, pretty, like, common or famous with kids and adults.

对吧，Lindsay？

Right, Lindsay?

哦，当然。

Oh, for sure.

当然。

For sure.

我大学时第一次公路旅行，其实是在911之后，我和朋友们觉得需要做点有意义的事情。

My first road trip I took in in college, it was right after 09:11, actually, that my friends and I decided we need to to do something deep.

所以我们进行了一次横穿全国的公路旅行，还露营了。

And so we took a cross country road trip, and we camped.

我们玩了很多那种游戏，就是那些汽车游戏。

We played a lot of those games, like those car games.

不是纸牌游戏，是汽车游戏。

And not card games, car games.

对。

Right.

对。

Right.

对。

Right.

这很重要。

That's important.

这里要小心。

Careful there.

对吧？

Right?

是的。

Yeah.

林赛，你会晕车吗？

Do you get carsick, Lindsay?

我真的不会。

I really don't.

我很幸运。

I'm lucky.

所以我一直可以坐后排，但有些人会晕车，需要坐前排。

So I can be in the back all the time, but some people who get carsick need to sit in the front.

对吧？

Right?

是的。

Yeah.

那你能看书吗？

Well, can you read?

我一般不太会在车里看书，因为车里太颠簸了。

I don't usually try to read in the car that much just because it's too chaotic.

但是我可以聊天。

But I can I can talk?

我可以看看窗外。

I can look out the window.

我可以听听播客或者音乐什么的。

I can listen to podcasts or music or something.

所以，其实还好，不算太难受。

So, yeah, that's it's not too bad.

嗯。

Mhmm.

那就好。

That's good.

那挺好的。

That's good.

所以今天，我们要分享一些这样的游戏。

So today, we're gonna share some of these games.

这很好，因为这是与人交流的好方法。

And this is good because this is a great way to connect with people.

对。

Mhmm.

如果你在公路旅行中，这些是很好的游戏，我是说，其中一些真的必须在车里玩。

If you are on a road trip and these are great games to play, I mean, some one of them really has to be in the car.

是的。

Yeah.

其中一个真的必须在

One of them really has to be in

车里，肯定的。

the car for sure.

我想说，你知道吗，这很有意思，因为美国文化真的是汽车文化。

And I wanna say, you know, if you you know, it's interesting because American culture is really a car culture.

对吧？

Right?

多亏了亨利·福特和高速公路的建设。

Thanks to Henry Ford and the building of the freeways.

我们真的是一个汽车文化浓厚的国家。

Like, we really are such a car culture.

如果你来自一个不是汽车文化的地方，比如对我来说，日本就不是汽车文化。

And if you come from a place that's not a car culture, like, to me, Japan is not a car culture.

对。

Mhmm.

你觉得呢，米歇尔，你在那里的时候？

What do you think, Michelle, when you were there?

火车？

Trains?

对。

Yeah.

火车确实很多。

It was a lot of trains.

我是说，日本其他地方我没去过，不太确定，但确实是这样。

I mean, I'm not sure, like, other parts of Japan that I didn't visit, but yeah.

当然。

Certainly.

对。

Yeah.

因为我当时待的都是大城市。

Because I was in, like, you know, big cities.

如果你在纽约，我也会说不是汽车文化。

If you're in New York, I would also say not culture.

说得对。

Fair point.

有道理。

Fair point.

所以我也说不准。

So I don't know.

对。

Yeah.

有道理。

Fair point.

不过在日本，我记得坐火车，坐那种当地的火车去乡下，从东京一直坐到国家的另一头。

Although in Japan, I remember taking the train, the local train out to the countryside, like, from Tokyo all the way to the other side of the country.

你可以坐火车去。

You could take the train.

哦，哇。

Oh, wow.

所以这里就不是这样了。

So that is not the case here.

我们有美铁，但不太好，而且卫生间也不干净。

We have Amtrak, but it's not very good, and the bathrooms are not clean.

哦，是的。

Oh, well, yes.

当然，如果说到火车质量，尤其是卫生间的话。

Certainly, if we're talking about the quality of the trains and especially the bathroom.

我特别害怕坐火车，因为我不想用那个卫生间。

It's I'm so scared to, like, you know, go on the train because I specifically don't wanna use

卫生间。

the bath.

哦，太糟糕了。

Oh, they're awful.

我尽量避免使用。

I avoid them at all cost.

但我想说的是

But what I'm trying to

我想说的是，如果你真的搬到美国或者加拿大，可能加拿大也一样，建立关系的一个好办法就是邀请别人来一次公路旅行，一个周末的小旅行，邀请你想更了解的人一起去，这算是当地文化的一部分。

say is, you know, if you do relocate to The US or maybe Canada, probably Canada too, you know, a way to build a relationship is to invite someone on a road trip, a little weekend road trip that someone you wanna get to know better, and that is a part of the culture.

所以知道在车里该做什么是很关键的。

So knowing what to do in the car is a key thing.

对吧？

Right?

没错。

Exactly.

好的。

Alright.

那我们就来聊聊游戏吧。

So let's talk about let's get into the games.

进入

Get into

游戏。

games.

好的。

Okay.

米歇尔，打起精神来。

Get your head in the game, Michelle.

打起精神来。

Get your head in the game.

第一个游戏是什么？

What's the first what's the first game?

好的。

Okay.

这个游戏我们说过，真的需要在车里玩。

This is the one we said we really need to be in the car to in the car.

就是车牌游戏。

So the license plate game.

在这个游戏里，你往外看，尽量找到来自不同州的车牌。

In this game, you look out and you try to spot a license plate from as many different states as you can.

那你做什么呢，米歇尔？

And what do you do, Michelle?

你会数你看到的车牌数量吗？

Do you tally the number you've seen?

嗯，我觉得这真的取决于你，如果你想的话，我觉得我玩的时候就是像你

Well, I don't I think it's really up to you if you wanna, like, I feel like I feel like how I played it was just like you

看到的时候喊出来。

would shout it out when you saw it.

我不确定我们当时是不是那么认真，但我能想象如果有人在记下来或者告诉别人，这游戏会变得很有竞争性。

I don't know if we were that serious about it, but I could imagine it getting competitive if somebody's like writing it down or telling it.

你玩过这个吗？

Did you play this?

是的。

Yeah.

是的。

Yeah.

我们在我第一次公路旅行的时候玩过这个，就是第一次公路旅行。

We played this on the first road trip I was on, road trip one.

而且我把它们都排好序了，你知道吗？

And I have them all ordered, you know?

公路旅行经历。

Road experiences.

对。

Yeah.

对。

Yeah.

对。

Yeah.

是的。

Did.

我们玩得很开心。

We had fun with it.

所以我们在大学里就是找乐子，自娱自乐。

So we were in college just having fun, just trying to entertain ourselves.

对。

Yeah.

小孩，大学生，中学生。

Kids, college kids, middle school kids.

这很

It makes

有道理。

sense.

对吧？

Right?

对。

Yeah.

所以，是的，你们这些家伙，我是说，因为有50种不同的车牌。

So, yeah, you just guys, I mean, because there are 50 different kinds of license plates.

如果你在公路旅行中，是的，你可能会看到很多你所在州的车牌。

And if you're on a road trip, yeah, you might see a lot of the license plates of the place that you're the state that you're in.

对。

Yes.

但你也会看到不同的。

But then you also see different ones.

比如，你有没有——嗯，你是新罕布什尔州的。

Like, do you ever well, so you're from New Hampshire.

你有没有过，当你在——我不知道这是否会发生，但比如，现在你在丹佛，你有没有看到新罕布什尔州的车牌，然后你会想，哦。

Do you ever when you are like in I don't know if this if this happens, but if, like, now you're in Denver, do you ever see a New Hampshire license plate and you're like, oh.

哦，不太会。可能不太多。

Oh, not so much in Probably not that much.

我不知道我在丹佛有没有见过，因为太远了。

I don't know that I've seen one in Denver because it's so so far.

对吧？

Right?

虽然远，但在新英格兰地区肯定能看到。

It's thousand and But something certainly in New England, you see them.

我一直为我的车牌感到骄傲，因为我们州的座右铭，你知道吗？

And I've always taken a lot of pride in my license plate because our state motto you know what it is?

我们之前好像聊过这个。

We've talked about it, I think, before.

新罕布什尔州的座右铭是“不自由，毋宁死”，是不是很酷？

The New Hampshire state motto is live free or die, which is so Yes.

跟其他州的比起来，这个太严肃了，太有气势了。

It's so it's so serious compared to, like That is so very intense.

佛罗里达是阳光之州，加州是黄金之州，科罗拉多也是，而新罕布什尔是……

Florida, the sunshine state in California, Colorado, the golden state, New Hampshire.

不自由，毋宁死。

Live free or die.

这听起来像是个很大的威胁。

It's like a big threat.

对。

Right.

嗯，我的意思是，我每次看到都会很兴奋，因为对我来说，这很常见，因为纽约和马里兰。

Well, I mean, I I always get excited when well, for me, it's, you know, a lot more common because New York and Maryland.

是的。

Yes.

是的。

Yes.

但是，比如，每当我

But, like, whenever I

看到马里兰的车牌，我就会想，哦。

see the Maryland license plate, I'm like, oh.

对。

Yeah.

你感觉出来了。

You feel out.

你们州的格言是什么？

What is your state's motto?

我特别怕你问这个。

I was so scared that you were gonna ask me that.

你知道我会问你这个的。

You knew I was gonna ask you that.

对。

Yeah.

我当时就想，也许我就直接跳过这个话题。

I, like, I was like, oh, maybe I'll just, like, move on.

不，我没有。

No, I didn't.

我没查过。

I didn't look it up.

等等。

Wait.

我我我肯定会很尴尬的。

I I I'm gonna be so embarrassed.

天哪。

Oh my gosh.

哎呀。

Oh gosh.

这给了我一个很好的节目点子，米歇尔。

That gives me a great episode idea, Michelle.

改天我们可以做一期节目，聊聊怎么快速转移话题，因为你感觉到有个你答不上来的问题要来了。

Another day we could do an episode on how to quickly change the topic because you feel a question is coming that you can't answer.

让我想想。

Let's see.

马里兰的座右铭是什么，天哪。

What is the Maryland oh my gosh.

然后还有车牌。

And then license plate.

好的。

Okay.

好的。

Okay.

嗯，

Well

行。

Alright.

我得去查一下。

I'm gonna have to look.

我得留点作业。

I'm gonna have to have a little bit of homework.

他们可以自己去查。

They can look it up.

也许下次我们再聊。

And maybe for the next time, we'll talk.

哇。

Wow.

好吧。

Okay.

那真是太尴尬了。

That was very embarrassing.

好吧。

Okay.

哦，没事的。

Oh, it's fine.

这

It's

没事。

fine.

如果你问我很多关于我们州的冷知识，我也答不上来。

If you ask me a lot of trivia about my state, I wouldn't be able to answer it.

没关系。

It's okay.

很多英语学习者都注重语法。

Many English learners focus on grammar.

他们希望自己的句子是正确的，但流利不仅仅是正确。

They want their sentences to be correct, but fluency isn't just about being correct.

流利还意味着听起来自然，选对表达，不用在脑子里逐句翻译就能快速回应。

It's about sounding natural, choosing the right phrase, responding quickly without translating every thought in your head.

这就是为什么有些人语法规则懂得很多，但在对话中仍然感到不自在。

That's why someone can know a lot of grammar rules and still feel uncomfortable in conversations.

真正的流利来自于理解语言模式、语气和自然的表达方式。

Real fluency comes from understanding patterns, tone, and natural expressions.

我们免费的“两分钟流利度测试”能帮你了解自己的水平，以及哪些技能能让你更进一步。

Our free two minute fluency quiz helps you discover your level and what skills will move you you forward.

下一个任务是什么？下一个游戏是什么？

What's the next quest what's the next game?

所以是20个问题。

So 20 questions.

那20个问题怎么玩？

Now how does 20 questions go?

这个游戏很常见。

This is a very common one.

再说一次，我觉得每个人对这些游戏都有自己的玩法。

Again, I think everybody has their own variations on these things.

但基本上，就是一个人想一个东西。

But I basically, somebody thinks of something.

对。

Mhmm.

对。

Yeah.

然后你有20个问题来猜它是什么。

And you have 20 questions to guess what it is.

我觉得基本上都是些是或否的问题。

And I think it's mostly like yes or no questions.

对吧？

Right?

好的。

Okay.

比如，可能是你看到的东西，或者你想到的东西，或者你可以设定一个类别，比如名人、电影之类的。

Like so it might be something you see or something you think of, or maybe you can do a category like, you know, maybe you're doing like celebrities or movies or, you know, something like that.

好的。

Okay.

我觉得有很多不同的玩法，但核心就是你有20个问题，然后去猜。

I think a lot there are a lot of variations, but that's the main idea is like you have twenty twenty questions and then, you know, to guess.
