嘿，Lindsay。

Hey, Lindsay.

你好吗？

How are you?

我今天感觉棒极了，Michelle。

I'm feeling great today, Michelle.

你一切都好吗？

How's everything going for you?

我这里一切都好。

Everything is good over here.

Lindsey，这周你得到安宁和清净了吗？

Lindsey, did you get any peace and quiet this week?

安宁和清净？

Peace and quiet?

周六我在科罗拉多州的戈尔登散步，感觉挺宁静的。

I went for a nice walk on Saturday in Golden, Colorado, and I think that was kind of peaceful.

是的。

Yeah.

我觉得是这样。

I would say so.

天哪。

Gosh.

我和我的狗Partner一起。

Partner, my dog, and I.

感觉很好。

It was nice.

对。

Yeah.

你呢？

What about you?

那挺好的。

That's good.

有没有安静的时候？

Any peace and quiet?

不太可能吧？

Unlikely?

我觉得没有。

Don't think so.

偶尔吧，是的。

Every once in a while, I yeah.

我会躲开，如果我丈夫在家，我就去另一个房间，然后

I'll I'll get away, and I'll go in to another room if my husband's home and

我就说我只是需要休息一下，然后我就

I say I just need a break and so then I

能安静一会儿。

can get some peace and quiet.

不过这里挺吵的，但这也是好事。

But it it's pretty loud in here, but that's a good thing.

我们玩得很开心。

We have fun.

所以今天我们要聊的是像安静和宁静这样的话题，因为是的。

So but we're gonna be talking about things like peace and quiet today because Yes.

我们是在做之前一期节目的后续。

We are doing a follow-up on an episode that we did.

那是第2030期，抱歉，说错了。

It was episode twenty thirty 20 excuse me.

第2639期，是“quiet”、“quite”还是“quit”。

Twenty six thirty nine was quiet, quite, or quit.

这三个词，人们容易搞混。

Three words, people get confused.

对。

Yeah.

米歇尔，那期节目真的很重要，能讲清楚那些内容。

And such an important episode that was, Michelle, to go through that.

对吧？

Right?

是的。

Yeah.

再说一次，大家回去再复习一下那期节目。

Again, guys, go back and review that episode again.

也许你几个月前听过。

Maybe you heard it a couple months ago.

也许你需要复习一下。

Maybe you need a bit of a refresher.

等我们今天讲完之后再去听。

Do after we finish today.

但现在先继续听这期，因为关于搭配还有很多要聊的。

But stick with this episode for now because there's so much more to talk about when it comes to colocations.

米歇尔，为什么学习搭配是个好主意？

Michelle, why are colocations a good idea to learn?

因为它们就是搭配在一起用的。

Because they're they just go together.

对吧？

Right?

它们就是搭配在一起用的。

They're they just go together.

你知道，有些东西你直接记住就行。

You know, there are things that you can just remember.

它们是小块儿。

They're little chunks.

它们很常见。

They're common.

而且

And

这确实是一种很好的学习方法。

it's a it's a great way to learn.

对吧？

Right?

所以我们虽然会学单词，但花时间在搭配上也很重要，这样可以意识到你可能会听到哪些固定模式。

So we, you know, we learn the vocabulary words, but it's also really great to spend time on things like collocations to realize what patterns you might hear.

而且这些都是很常见的表达。

And these are things that are common.

对吧？

Right?

是的。

Yeah.

我觉得它们很自然，但也像是一种思维捷径。

I think I think it's they're natural, but they're also like a mental shortcut.

对吧？

Right?

没错。

Exactly.

如果你学会了peace后面接什么，嗯，就像peace和什么？

If you learn what comes after peace, well, you know, it's like peace and what?

不是peace and stillness。

It's not peace and stillness.

是peace and quiet。

It's peace and quiet.

对吧？

Right?

对。

Right.

没错。

Exactly.

你可以让大脑稍微放空一下，而且我们喜欢，大脑也喜欢偶尔能放空一下。

You can turn your brain off a little bit, and we love and the brain loves being able to be turned off a little bit occasionally.

对吧？

Right?

这样能节省能量。

It preserved calories.

对。

Right.

而且其中有些其实就是固定的表达方式，对吧？

And there are some of these are actual like, also just expressions, right?

这些词组。

These chunks.

所以不管什么表达，只要搭配在一起，我们就能直接记住这些词组。

So whatever expressions, go together and we can really just get these chunks and remember them.

所以，这对交流真的很重要，因为它能让对话更自然，让你能更深入地建立联系。

So yeah, this is just really important for connection because it can make things more natural and allow you to connect in a deeper way.

所以，是的。

So Yeah.

好吗？

Alright?

是的。

Yes.

那我们就从“quit”开始吧。

So let's start with quit then.

什么？

What?

米歇尔，这是什么意思？

What does this mean, Michelle?

就单独一个词。

Just alone.

就是放弃。

To give up.

放弃。

Give up.

放弃某件事。

Give something up.

停止做某件事。

Stop doing something.

林赛，quit经常和哪些词搭配使用？

What words are often used with quit, Lindsey?

比如，辞掉你的工作。

I mean, quit your job.

对。

Right.

我辞掉了工作，或者说我不干了。

I quit my job or I quit working.

坏习惯，比如戒掉咬指甲。

Bad habits like quit biting your nails.

对，

Right,

米歇尔？

Michelle?

没有。

No.

正在努力。

Working on it.

是的。

Yeah.

我戒了烟、酒、糖、咖啡因这些。

I quit smoking, drinking, sugar, caffeine, things like that.

没错。

Exactly.

或者也可以指活动。

Or also activities.

所以我退出了团队。

So I quit the team.

我退出了项目。

I quit the project.

我退出了计划。

I quit the program.

对。

Yeah.

所以这些用法真的很常见。

So these are just really common.

所以就是工作、坏习惯、活动这些。

So jobs, bad habits, activities.

但我们还有一些基本表达。

But we also have some basic expressions.

我很喜欢下一个，就是突然彻底戒掉某样东西，叫“cold turkey”。

I love this next one, to quit something cold turkey.

我觉得我们之前聊过这个，但到底是什么意思呢？“cold turkey”是什么意思？

I think we've talked about this before, but what what is it what does that mean, cold turkey?

我知道。

I know.

如果你不知道，那你就是不知道。

If you don't know, you don't know.

你可能会想，我们为什么要说火鸡呢？这跟火鸡有什么关系？

And you're like, why are we talking about turkey that's happening here?

它的意思就是突然彻底地戒掉某样东西。

It means to quit something completely and suddenly.

不是说你慢慢减少的那种。

It's not like you're tapering off.

而是直接一下子，砰。

It's like you're just totally boom.

不。

No.

这个东西就再也不碰了。

No more of this thing.

对。

Yeah.

对吧？

Right?

对。

Yeah.

我觉得对有些人来说，想戒掉什么的时候，这样可能有效，但对另一些人来说，可能会更难。

And I guess that works for some people if they wanna quit something, but others it might be make it more challenging.

所以这挺有意思的。

So it's kinda interesting.

对。

Yeah.

我同意。

I agree.

所以，你可能会听到有人说，我一下子戒掉了，或者她一下子戒了烟。

So, yeah, you might hear something like, I quit cold turkey or she quit smoking cold turkey.

嗯。

Mhmm.

对吧？

Right?

我的意思是，有时候你甚至听到人们直接说一下子戒掉。

I mean, or you might even sometimes hear people just say cold turkey.

对吧？

Right?

对，是的。

Like Yeah.

当然。

Sure.

而且现在有很多，我是说，这集挺应景的，因为现在很多人都在讨论戒酒，对吧，在现代社会，或者就是开始吃得健康点，更注意自己吃的东西。

And and and and now there's a lot of I mean, is a relevant episode because there's a lot of talk right now about a lot of people are quitting drinking, quitting alcohol, right, in in modern society right now, or just like starting to eat healthier, getting more mindful about what they're consuming.

对。

Yeah.

所以我刚听了《The Daily》的一集，里面《纽约时报》的美食评论家经历了一个完整的转变过程，最后不得不辞掉工作。

So I was just listening to episode of The Daily where the the food critic for The New York Times went through this whole evolution where he had to actually quit his job.

哦，哇。

Oh, wow.

因为他的各项指标，甘油三酯什么的，全都远远超标了。

Because his levels, everything, triglycerides, everything were way off the charts.

而且他身体真的很不健康，因为他每周有五个晚上都去餐厅吃饭。哦。

And he was really unhealthy because he was going to restaurants five nights a week Oh.

而且还要把菜单上的所有菜都尝一遍。

And trying all the food on the menu.

那期节目还挺感人的。

And it was quite a moving episode.

他彻底改变了自己的生活。

He completely transformed his life.

非常令人敬佩。

Very admirable.

所以，朋友们，我推荐你们去听听《The Daily》那期节目，你们会听到一些这样的表达。

So, guys, I recommend you listen to that episode of The Daily, and you'll hear some of this language.

对吧？

Right?

戒掉这个。

Quit doing this.

突然彻底戒掉某样东西。

Quit something cold turkey.

真的很有意思。

Really interesting.

这跟我们的生活完全相关。

This ties into our lives completely.

对。

Mhmm.

是的。

Yeah.

确实。

Definitely.

对。

Mhmm.

然后你还可以说“quit for good”或者“quit something for good”，就是永远戒掉的意思。

And then you could also say quit for good or quit something for good.

对。

Mhmm.

所以那意思就是永远戒掉某样东西。

So that means quit something forever.

对吧？

Right?

我永远戒掉咖啡因了。

I quit caffeine for good.

从现在开始只喝无咖啡因的咖啡。

It's decaf coffee from here on out.

对。

Yeah.

我一直有点好奇为什么“for good”是永远的意思。

I always kinda wondered why for good means forever.

感觉好像没什么关联。

It doesn't seem like it it's connected.

对吧？

Right?

对。

Yeah.

听起来确实没什么道理。

Doesn't seem to make any sense.

这让我想起那首超棒的音乐剧歌曲。

Makes me think of that wicked song.

对吧？

Right?

哦，对。

Oh, yeah.

《魔法坏女巫》里的“For Good”。

Wicked for good.

对吧？

Right?

是的。

Yep.

对。

Yep.

没错。

Exactly.

那下一个呢？

And I what about the next one?

见好就收。

Quit while someone's ahead.

对吧？

Right?

见好就收。

Quit while you're ahead.

所以趁损失还不严重的时候，赶紧收手。

So quit something while the damages aren't as serious as they could be.

是的。

Yeah.

我们正在赢这场比赛。

We're winning the game.

也许我们应该见好就收，因为这里暗示的是，赢比赛本身可能带来某种伤害。

Maybe we should quit while we're ahead because we're doing the implication here is that we're doing some kind of damage by winning the game.

对吧？

Right?

比如，也许我们在作弊，或者，对吧？

Like, maybe we're cheating or maybe, like right?

我的意思是，这，这，或者你怎么看？

I mean, it's it's or what do you think?

我觉得这里面有某种

I feel like there's something

关于公平性的东西。

to fairness.

我觉得可能是那样。

I think it could be that.

我还会说，这让我想起《宋飞正传》，当然，有几个原因。

I will also say it makes me think of Seinfeld, of course, for a couple reasons.

但其中一个主要原因是结局，他们选择在最巅峰的时候收手。

But one major one was the finale that they or they ended it's like quitting while you're on top.

对吧？

Right?

对。

Uh-huh.

好。

Okay.

就是这个概念。

That concept.

我记得他们当时说，哦，什么？

I remember they said, oh, what?

就像，你为什么要退出呢？

Like, why would you why would you quit?

你知道吗？

You know?

为什么现在要停掉这个节目呢？

Why would you stop doing the show now?

它那么好，收视率又高，还有各种好处。

It's, like, so great, and you're getting great ratings, and this and that.

我记得他们当时说，我们想见好就收，因为很多时候节目会变得乏味，对吧。

And I remember they at the you know, they said, well, you know, we wanna quit, you know, like we want to still be remembered in that way because a lot of times then shows can get stale and Right.

对。

Right.

很多节目都会走向那个方向。

A lot of shows go in that direction.

你知道吗？

You know?

是的。

Yeah.

所以他们不想让那种情况发生。

So they didn't want that to happen.

他们就说，好吧，我们到此为止。

They just said, okay, well, we're done.

所以这挺有意思的。

So it's interesting.

所以见好就收也可以只是，你知道，你正

So quitting while you're ahead can also just be, you know, you're

哦，确实是这样。

Oh, that's true.

事情进展得很顺利，我们想在最风光的时候退出，你可能会听到这种说法。

Things are going really well and we wanna go out we wanna go out on top, you might hear.

说得有道理。

That's a good point.

所以不一定是因为你做得不好，而是你正领先的时候。

So it doesn't have to be that, like, something is is you're doing something bad, and so you're ahead.

所以我们得现在退出。

So we gotta quit now.

可能是那样，也可能只是你正处于巅峰状态。

It could be that or it could just be you're on top of your game.

你正处在行业的最高点。

You're you're at the very top of your industry.

在领先的时候退出。

Quit while you're ahead.

在巅峰时退出。

Quit while you're on top.

这才是正确的做法。

That's the way to go.

对吧？

Right?

是的。

Yeah.

我的意思是，运动员可能也是这样。

I mean, the same might be true for athletes.

所以，你知道，我想到了网球。

So, know, I think about tennis.

当职业选手决定退役时，他们可能会赢得一个大满贯，然后宣布退役，之后又决定复出。

And when pros decide to retire, it's like they might win a major, and then they'll say they're retiring, and then they decide to come back from retirement.

这种事经常发生。

It happens all the time.

然后他们复出参赛，结果在下一个大满贯的第一轮就输了。

And then they play, and they lose in the first round of the next major.

这时候就会想，哎呀，真应该见好就收。

It's like, oh, really should've just quit while I was ahead.

对。

Yes.

你懂吧？

You know?

是的。

Yes.

确实。

Definitely.

对。

Yeah.

你在体育界确实经常听到这种说法，你知道，关于人们什么时候退役，以及他们是否应该退役，是的。

You you do do hear this a lot in sports, you know, depending on when people are retiring and if they should retire and Yes.

真有意思。

Really interesting.

对。

Yeah.

确实。

It is.

对。

Yeah.

好的，米歇尔。

Okay, Michelle.

那我们接着讲“quite”这个词。

So let's move on to quite.

我们已经聊了很多关于“quit”的内容。

So we've talked a lot about quit.

大家记得去看看我之前提到的《每日》那期节目。

Guys, go check out that episode of The Daily I mentioned.

那期节目里有很多关于放弃某事的讨论。

A lot of chat a lot of chats can be can be had there around quitting things.

但“quite”又是什么意思呢？

But what about quite?

Quite。

Quite.

好的。

Alright.

所以我们用quite。

So we use quite.

Quite是关于强度的。

So quite is about intensity.

对吧？

Right?

它的意思是相当或非常。

It means fairly or very.

我们就是这样用quite的。

And we use quite like this.

一般来说，我们用quite加形容词。

So we do quite and the adjective generally.

所以这加强了形容词的程度。

So this intensifies the adjective.

它强调那个形容词，或者让它稍微再强一点。

It emphasizes that adjective or makes it just a little bit more.

比如说，quite good。

So for example, quite good.

这个三明治挺好吃的。

The sandwich is quite good.

对。

Yeah.

顺便说一句，我在英式英语里听到这个比美式英语多得多。

And I also hear this much more in British English than I do in American English, by the way.

对我来说，说quite感觉有点正式。

It it feels kind of proper to say quite to me.

我也不确定。

I don't know.

我就是，对。

I just yeah.

我觉得我们在另一集里已经聊过这个了。

And I think we talked about that on the other episode.

确实，确实。

It does it does.

对。

Yeah.

不过，你知道，我觉得当我们看到下一个例子时，可能会觉得更自然一些。

I mean, however, there you know, I think when we get to the next example, we it might feel a little more natural to us.

当然。

Sure.

我们再看一些例子。

We so some more examples.

我最近挺开心的。

I'm quite happy lately.

这个挺难的。

This is quite difficult.

在纽约走路很常见。

It's quite common to walk in New York.

挺有趣的，挺有意思的，挺漂亮的，挺棒的。

It's quite funny, quite interesting, quite beautiful, quite amazing.

基本上，你想放什么形容词进去，都可以。

Any adjective you wanna put in there, guys, pretty much, you can do that.

对吧？

Alright?

对。

Right.

不过你可能在美国英语里不太常听到这种说法，但你会听到我刚才说的那种用法。

So but you may not hear that quite quite as much in American English, but you will hear it in the way that I just said it, for example.

所以你可以用“quite”和其他加强语气的词。

So but you could use quite and other intensifiers.

所以，挺多的。

So quite a lot.

我工作出差挺多的。

I travel quite a lot for work.

或者“quite a few”，也不少。

Or quite a few.

这个我们这里也这么说。

This one we do here.

活动现场人还挺多的。

There were quite a few people at the event.

对吧？

Alright?

对。

Yes.

我不会说这更偏英式而不是美式。

I wouldn't say that that's more British than more than American.

对吧？

Right?

是的。

Yeah.

对。

Yeah.

嗯。

Mhmm.

或者相当多。

Or quite a bit.

那次旅行我们走了不少路。

We walked quite a bit on that trip.

所以，是的，我会听到那个说法。

So, yeah, I would hear that.

或者相当多。

Or quite a lot.

她昨晚喝了不少。

She drank quite a lot last night.

对。

Mhmm.

你知道，这些用法其实在美式英语里也能用。

You know, so these are kind of you could use them with American English.

也不是完全不能用。

You could not.

但我觉得它们比那种“quite加形容词”的用法更常见。

But I think they're more common than that quite plus adjective.

我觉得下一种用法更有意思。

The next way of using it I find more interesting.

对吧？

Right?

这就是“quite加”

This is quite plus
