你是不是经常听到母语者说 actual 和 actually，却不知道怎么用？

Do you hear native speakers use actual and actually all of the time, but aren't sure how to use these yourself?

今天，我们来学学这些词的使用频率以及正确的发音方式。

Today, learn how frequent these words are and how to say them correctly.

你有没有过这样的经历：一场对话结束后，心里还在想，等等，他们刚才说了什么？

Have you ever walked away from a conversation thinking, wait, what did they just say?

母语者说话很快。

Native speakers speak fast.

他们会打断别人。

They interrupt.

他们会用俚语。

They use slang.

他们说的不是教科书式的英语。

They don't speak textbook English.

如果你有时觉得自己跟不上，别担心，你并不孤单，也不是能力不行。

If you sometimes feel one step behind, you're not alone and you're not incapable.

你好，Aubrey。

Hello, Aubrey.

你今天怎么样？

How are you today?

我很好，Lindsay。

I'm great, Lindsay.

你呢？

How are you?

很高兴来到这里。

Glad to be here.

我们今天是来聊点带劲的话题的，对吧？

We're here on a sassy Saturday, right?

八月初了。

Beginning of August.

不过我在想，现在是夏天。

But I'm wondering, it's summertime.

你觉得自己空闲时间多吗？

Do you feel like you have a lot of free time?

其实我最近一点空闲时间都没有。

Actually, I have no free time these days.

对吧？

Right?

要带孩子玩，还要工作。

Keeping my kids entertained, working.

我忙得不得了。

I'm super busy.

那你呢？

What about you?

空闲时间很多吗？

Lots of free time?

对。

Yeah.

我是说，我们的听众都知道，我刚生了孩子，所以空闲时间可能不多。

I mean, as we know, our listeners know, I just had a child, so probably not a ton of free time.

没有。

No.

不过，我确实会尽量利用好每一段空闲时间。

But yeah, I do try to maximize any free time I do have.

那好，我们今天聊什么呢？

But yeah, what are we talking about today?

你刚才说‘其实’，对吧？

You said actually, right?

没错。

Exactly.

这个问题问得很好。

This is a great question.

我们社区有人问了一个问题，就是到底应该说“I actual have a lot of free time”还是“I actually have a lot of free time”。

We got a question from someone in our community who just said, should we say I actual have a lot of free time or I actually have a lot of free time?

然后我们讨论了一会儿，他们就想知道怎么区分。

And then we talked about it a while and they're like, how can I know?

因为这两个词“actual”和“actually”我们都会用，但用法很不一样。

Because we do use both of these words actual and actually, but in very different ways.

对，很高兴有人提出这个问题。

Yeah, I'm glad this came up.

这确实是一个很真实、很好的问题。

It is such an authentic and great question.

作为母语者，我们经常用“actually”这两个词，它们在我们口语表达中占了很大一部分。

We use actually all the time, both of these words all the time as native speakers, and it's really a big part of our spoken English repertoire, right?

是的，完全正确。

Yes, absolutely.

而且，把它们搞混或者放错句子里的位置是很常见的错误，因为我们之前也讨论过，它到底应该放在动词前面还是后面？

And it is a common mistake to mix these up or put them in the wrong order in sentences, because that was something else we talked about is like, should it come before or after the verb?

它在句子里应该放在哪里？

Where should it be in a sentence?

如果放错了位置，母语者听起来确实会觉得不对劲。

And it does sound off to native speakers if it's in the wrong place in a sentence.

对。

Yeah.

所以，朋友们，今天我们会把这些都讲清楚。

So guys, we're going to cover all of this for you today.

这会是一期非常有用的节目。

It's going be a very useful episode.

所以，我希望你们准备好做笔记，尽管今天是周六。

So I hope you're ready to take notes, even though it's Saturday.

没关系。

That's okay.

Don't miss a single episode of our show.

我们每周更新五天。

We publish five days a week.

对吧？

Okay?

没错。

Exactly.

好，那我们就先从actual这个词开始讲起。

All right, let's dive in with actual first.

你知道，这个词的意思是真实的、确切的或真正的，用作形容词。

You know, this means real, exact, or true, and it's used as an adjective.

对。

Mhmm.

是的。

Yeah.

比如，这就是梅西赢得世界杯时穿的那件球衣。

So for example, this is the actual soccer jersey Messi was wearing when they won the World Cup.

那可是件大事。

So that's a big deal.

对吧？

Right?

真品，真正的。

The authentic, true.

没错。

Yes.

就是那件真正的真品。

The real authentic one.

没错。

Exactly.

或者犯罪纪录片用的是调查中的真实画面。

Or the crime documentary uses actual footage from the investigation.

这意味着它不是戏剧化的。

This means it's not dramatized.

它是真正的原始素材。

It is the real authentic footage.

这就是为什么我喜欢去博物馆，因为你确实能看到不同时期的真实文物。

And that's why I love going to museums because you do get the actual artifacts from different time.

不管你去哪个博物馆。

Whatever museum you go to.

真的很酷，对吧？

It's really cool, you know?

确实。

Exactly.

我们当时在那儿的时候，其实经常用这个。

We actually when we were there was actually we use that all the time.

在佐治亚州的时候，我们差点去了一个历史遗址，但我一查谷歌，发现那是个老堡垒的仿制品。

When we were in Georgia, we almost went to see a historic site, but then I Googled it and we found out it was like a reproduction of an old fort.

我就说，我可不想看那个。

I'm like, I don't wanna see that.

有时候那根本不是真正的堡垒。

Sometimes it's not the actual fort.

它烧毁了，后来为了游客重建的。

It had burned down and they rebuilt it for tourists.

我就说，不了，谢谢。

I'm like, no, thank you.

那种情况也挺多的。

There's a lot of that too.

对。

Right.

这种情况挺多的。

There's a lot

确实挺多的。

of that too.

有时候你能看到原来的堡垒。

Sometimes you get original fort.

这个词的另一个用法是，她辞职的真正原因是什么？

And then another use of this word would be what's the actual reason she quit?

可能她给了一个理由，但那不是真正的原因。

So maybe she gave a reason, but it wasn't the actual.

那不是真实的原因。

It wasn't the real reason.

所以我们现在问的是真相。

So we're asking now about the truth.

对。

Yeah.

这在工作中经常发生，你知道有人只是给出了他们不得不说的答案，或者他们不想透露太多细节。

This happens a lot at work where you know that someone's sort of giving the answer they have to give or they're not wanting to give too many details.

你就会问，真正的原因是什么？

You're like, what's the real reason?

实际的原因是什么？

What's the actual reason?

对。

Yeah.

好了，现在我们来看看“actually”这个词。

All right, let's flip over to actually now.

很不一样，对吧？

Very different, right?

那它是什么意思呢？

So what does it mean?

它的意思是某件事有点出乎意料，但却是真的。

So this means something is a bit surprising, but true.

它用作副词。

It's used as an adverb.

所以它修饰动词或形容词。

So it describes a verb or an adjective.

比如我刚才说，实际上，我们在佐治亚州的时候，或者我们可能会说，我其实从来没看过《辛普森一家》。

So for example, I just said, actually, when we were in Georgia, or we might say something like, I've actually never seen The Simpsons.

所以这有点像在暗示你要说一些有点意外的事情。

And so it's sort of a way to signal that you're about to say something a bit surprising.

对。

Yeah.

我同意。

I I agree.

就是接下来要说的事情会让人意外。

It's something is coming that's surprising.

有时候我觉得它几乎被当作填充词或过渡词来用。

Sometimes I think it's almost used as a filler or a transition.

就像你刚才提到那个遗迹和那个事情，说乔治亚不是真的，那确实是个让人意外的事，但同时也像是一个过渡，引出你接下来要说的话。

Like when you you mentioned the relic and thing, Georgia not being real, it was a surprising thing, but it's also like a bit of a transition into what you're going to say too.

对，你只是在暗示你要说一些相关的内容。

Yeah, you're just signaling that you're going to say something related.

但要用“实际上”这个词，它得带点让人意外的感觉。

But in order to say actually, it needs to be sort of a little bit surprising.

因为我想说的是，有时候这些历史遗址并不是真正的历史遗迹，这还挺让人意外的。

Because I'm saying like, this is sort of surprising that sometimes these historic sites are not actual, you know, historical sites.

是的，我同意。

Yeah, I agree.

确实需要有点不寻常、出乎意料才行。

It does need to be a bit out of the ordinary, unexpected.

没错。

Yes.

或者他其实挺有趣的。

Or he's actually funny.

这就像，你没想到他会是这样。

This would be like, you didn't expect him to be.

有点让人意外。

It was a little bit surprising.

你知道吗？

You know what?

我本来以为会很无聊，但他其实特别搞笑。

I thought it was going to be boring, but he's actually really funny.

没错。

Exactly.

对。

Yeah.

所以“actually”这一点真的很重要。

So that's really important about actually.

大家一定要用对哦。

So make sure we're using that correctly, guys.

所以它可以用来温和地纠正别人，但要注意方式。

So it can be used to correct someone to be careful here, but in a gentle way.

语气很重要，对吧？

Tone does Tone matter does a a Right?

如果我说，哦，他来自洪都拉斯。

If I say, Oh, he's from Honduras.

然后你会说，

And then you would say,

他其实来自危地马拉，不是洪都拉斯。

He's actually from Guatemala, not Honduras.

对，这点说得好。

Yeah, that's a good point.

纠正别人时，语气可能会显得过于夸张，不是强势，而是有点居高临下。

When you're correcting someone, your tone can sound over the top, not bossy, but sort of patronizing when you're correcting someone.

你真的需要把语气放柔和一些。

You really need to soften the tone.

而且，“实际上”这个词确实能帮助缓和语气。

And actually, actually helps to soften the tone that way.

对，“实际上”确实有帮助。

Actually, actually helps.

是的。

Yes.

再举个例子，如果我说：“哦，这道数学题的答案是20。”

And then another example, what if I said, Oh, the answer to the math problem is 20.

答案是20。

The answer is 20.

哦，答案实际上是10。

Oh, the answer is actually 10.

所以我在纠正你，但加上“实际上”确实能缓和语气。

So I'm correcting you, but adding that actually does soften this.

确实能缓和语气。

It does soften it.

对。

Right.

是的，语气得和这个词搭配起来才行。

Yeah, it's just tone needs to come along with the word.

如果我说的时候不带‘actually’，直接说‘哦，答案是10’。

If I say it without actually, oh, the answer is 10.

那就有点生硬了。

It's a little harsh.

有点生硬，对吧？

Little Right?

加上‘actually’就能稍微缓和一下。

And adding that actually softens it a little bit.

我们不喜欢说话太直接，因为不想丢面子。

We don't like to be blunt because we don't like to lose face.

对吧？

Right?

我们想要像人一样去沟通。

We want to connect as human beings.

没错。

Exactly.

下周在我们的另一个播客《商务英语》里，我们会聊如何用一个词来展示你在工作中的技能。

Next week over on our other podcast, Business English, we'll talk about how to share your skills at work with one single word.

这个词能帮你表达你对团队的贡献，既不会显得在吹嘘，也不会像在背一份长长的、机械的履历。

This word can help you talk about what you bring to the team without sounding like you're bragging or giving a long robotic list of qualifications.

你会学到如何在面试、会议和日常职场对话中自然地使用它。

You'll learn how to use it naturally in interviews, meetings, and everyday workplace conversations.

这就是我们在《商务英语》播客里做的事情。

That's what we do over on the Business English Podcast.

我们教你如何在工作中用英语建立人际关系。

We show you how to build relationships at work in English.

到时候见。

See you there.

好的。

All right.

那么，这些词在句子里到底放在哪里呢，Aubrey？

So then where do these words even go in a sentence, Aubrey?

这是我们接下来需要了解的部分。

This is the next piece we need to know.

对，没错。

Yes, right.

这里我们很容易犯错。

This is where we can easily make mistakes.

所以actual要放在名词前面。

So actual comes before a noun.

你可能会说，这只是练习而已。

You might say, this is just practice.

真正的比赛中午才开始。

The actual race begins at noon.

这就是actual放在名词前面的用法，表示真正的、实际的那个比赛。

This is when it means the real authentic race that comes before the noun.

对。

Yes.

而actually呢，放在主语后面、主要动词前面。

And with actually, it goes after the subject and before the main verb.

所以我其实为这次考试准备了很多。

So I've actually studied a lot for this test.

对。

Yes.

或者她其实唱了好几年歌剧。

Or she actually sang opera for several years.

所以这种用法是在表达这件事有点出乎意料。

So that is when we're saying this is a little bit surprising.

比如你可能没想到，但我这次其实花了很多时间学习。

Like you might not expect this, but I actually studied a lot for this time.

对，你觉得我好像什么都无所谓，但我其实真的认真学了，对吧？

Yeah, you think I'm like, I just blow everything off, but I actually studied a lot, right?

这个词也可以放在句子最开头或最末尾。比如我们可以说，其实我有很多空闲时间。

That also can come at the very beginning or very end of a sentence We might say, actually, I have a lot of free time.

没错。

Right.

我可能会说，哦，你刚有了孩子，一定很忙吧。

I might say, oh, you just had a kid, you must be really busy.

然后你可能会回答，其实呢，

And then you might respond, actually,

他们一直在睡觉。

they sleep all the time.

所以我有很多空闲时间。

So I have tons of free time.

或者你也可以放在句尾，意思是一样的。

Or you can also put at the end for the same meaning.

我其实有很多空闲时间。

I have a lot of free time actually.

完美。

Perfect.

那还有别的吗，Aubrey，我们还需要知道什么？

And then what else, Aubrey, here do we need to know?

它也可以放在形容词前面。

It could also go before an adjective.

比如你可以说，他是母语者，但其实很难听懂他说话。

So you might say, he's a native speaker, but he's actually hard to understand.

所以这里‘actually’是放在形容词‘difficult’或‘hard’前面，也就是‘actually difficult’。

So that is where it's coming before the adjective difficult or hard, actually difficult.

对。

Yeah.

现在我们开始接触更复杂的句子了。

Now we're getting into more complex sentences.

当句子中有多个动词时，“actually”要放在第一个动词前面。

When you have multiple verbs, the actually comes first.

所以，他其实人挺好的，只要你了解他之后。

So he's actually quite nice once you get to know him.

对吧？

Right?

多个副词的情况。

Multiple adverbs.

他其实人挺好的。

He's actually quite nice.

这种情况很常见，我们经常这样叠加形容词。

And this happens a lot that we stack adjectives like this.

挺好的。

Quite nice.

而且知道这个挺好的，你知道，你不能说“他挺”

And it's good to know, you know, you can't say he's

“挺实际上不错”。

Quite actually nice.

听起来怪怪的。

Sounds strange to me.

对，“挺实际上不错”或者“挺不错实际上”。

Yeah, quite actually nice or quite nice actually.

你也许可以那么说，但最自然的说法还是“他实际上挺不错的”。

You maybe could say that, but this sounds the most natural to say, he's actually quite nice.

是的。

Yes.

因为我们在强调那种意外感。

Because we're emphasizing the surprise.

所以就把那个词放在前面。

So we put that up top.

服务其实真的很快，对吧？

The service was actually really quick, right?

我们本来以为会很慢，但结果真的很快。

We thought it would be slow, but it was actually really quick.

没错。

Exactly.

好的。

Okay.

然后，当你纠正别人的时候，“actually”也可以放在你想要纠正的信息前面。

And then when you're correcting someone, actually can also go before the information that you want to correct.

所以结构是：主语 + 系动词/不定式 + “actually” + 信息。

So the structure here is subject and then to be, the infinitive, then actually, and then the information.

比如，他的生日其实是明天。

So for example, his birthday is actually tomorrow.

所以如果你想纠正别人，这里就有个结构可以参考。

So you've got kind of a structure here if you're wanting to correct someone.

好

All

的，完美。

right, perfect.

好的，我们来看看这个在角色扮演中怎么用。

All right, let's see how this all comes out in a role play.

这个用法对母语者来说非常常见，所以我挺期待我们聊些什么。

This is used so frequently for native speakers, so I'm looking forward to seeing what we talk about here.

太棒了。

Awesome.

所以在这个场景里，你和我都是英语学习者，不是来自美国。

So you and I are English students in this, so we are not from The United States.

好的。

Okay.

我们最近刚认识，我在问你来自哪里，林赛。

We met recently and I am asking you where you are from Lindsay.

好，那就开始吧。

All right, let's do it.

我们开始。

Here we go.

好的。

Alright.

对。

Mhmm.

所以你是从智利来的。

So you're from Chile.

对吧？

Right?

我其实是秘鲁人，不过经常有人这么误会。

I'm actually from Peru, but I get that a lot.

哦，是我搞错了。

Oh, my bad.

那真的很棒。

So that's really cool.

在秘鲁的哪里？

Where in Peru?

利马。

Lima.

哦，那是你的家乡，还是后来搬过去的？

Oh, is that your actual hometown or did you move there later?

不，就是我的家乡。

No, it's my actual hometown.

我是在那里长大的。

I grew up here.

哦，那太棒了。

Oh, that's awesome.

我今年夏天正好要去利马玩。

I'm actually visiting Lima this summer.

太好了。

Cool.

我得给你一些建议。

I'll have to give you some tips.

好，我很乐意。

Yes, I'd love that.

哦，我

Oh, I

几周前我参加了一个西班牙语聚会，其中有两个人来自利马，或者在那里待了很久。

was just at a Spanish meetup a few weeks ago and two of the people are from Lima or just have spent a lot of time in Lima.

我们聊了大概一个小时，都在说利马的美食。

We spent like an hour talking about the food scene in Lima.

不知道你有没有听说过利马的美食。

It's I don't know if you've heard about the food scene in Lima.

利马的美食真的非常棒。

It is really good food in Lima.

对，我去过那里。

Yeah, and I've been there.

他们的体验确实如此。

Validate their experience.

百分之百是真的。

It's 100% true.

食物非常棒

The food is fantastic

在利马。

in Lima.

太棒了。

That's awesome.

真喜欢。

Love that.

真好。

So nice.

这就是旅行和品尝当地美食的好处之一，你和他们聊得那么投机。

It's one of the perks of traveling and experiencing the food in a place and you had so much to talk about with them.

是的。

Yeah.

有意思的是，有个人正计划去巴黎旅行，我们就告诉他，其实利马的美食棒极了。

And it was funny because there was a guy who was planning to travel to Paris and we were like, actually, the food in Lima is fantastic.

他之前不知道，聊起那里的美食有多好，还挺有趣的。

Like, he didn't know that and it was kind of fun to just talk about it and how good it really is.

对。

Yeah.

所以，巴黎的美食可能根本比不上利马。

So Oh, that's like the food in Paris has got nothing on Lima, probably.

比不上利马。

Nothing on Lima.

巴黎不算什么。

Paris isn't

我是说，还是有一些好吃的。

I mean, there's some good things to eat.

也许它们是竞争对手。

Maybe they're competitors.

它们是竞争对手。

They're competitors.

好的，不错。

Alright cool.

那么，我们刚才说到，你是智利人，对吧？

So alright, so here we said so you're from Chile, right?

我说我其实是秘鲁人，但经常有人这么误会。

And I said I'm actually from Peru, but I get that a lot.

对，所以这里是你纠正我的地方。

Yeah, so this is where you're correcting me.

我做了个错误的假设，或者有人告诉我你是智利人，我以为那是正确的。

I made an incorrect assumption or maybe someone had told me you're from Chile, I thought that was correct.

你就说，哦，我其实是秘鲁人。

You just say, Oh, I'm actually from Peru.

如果你直接说，不，我是秘鲁人，那听起来就会更生硬。

And if you just said, No, I'm from Peru, that would feel harsher.

会让人感觉被批评、被评判，而这样说其实缓和了纠正的语气。

Would feel criticized, judged, That actually softens that correction.

对，这样反而会让人有种感觉，哦，我想继续聊下去。

Yeah, actually kind of gives you the feeling of like, Oh, I want to talk more.

你知道，我态度开放，很友好。

You know, I'm open, I'm friendly.

你知道，你犯那个错没关系。

You know, it's okay if you made that mistake.

我会纠正你，但之后我们还会继续聊。

Going to correct you, but then we're going to keep chatting.

是的。

Yes.

然后我问，那是你的老家，还是后来搬过去的？

And then I said, Is that your actual hometown or did you move there later?

我说，不，那就是我的老家。

And I said, No, it's my actual hometown.

是我真正的家乡。

It's my real hometown.

我确实是在那里长大的。

It is where I genuinely grew up.

对，我说，哦，我今年夏天其实要去利马，所以我就用这个来分享一些可能有点让人意外的事。

Yeah, I said, Oh, I'm actually visiting Lima this summer, so this is where I'm using it to share something that might be a little surprising.

没想到。

Unexpected.

我遇到了你，你是利马人。

I met you, you're from Lima.

我今年夏天其实要去利马。

I'm actually visiting Lima this summer.

太好了，太好了。

Excellent, excellent.

行，真不错。

All right, really good stuff.

很高兴有学生问了这个问题。

So glad we got this question from one of our students.

这个问题问得好。

It's a great one.

大家回去再听一遍。

Guys, go back and listen again.

这期节目对日常交流和口语表达非常重要。

This is a very important episode for connection, for everyday speech.

可能书面英语不太用，但你要说的、要讲的，真的很关键。

Maybe not written English as much, but what you're going to speak and say, it really matters.

对，我们确实经常用 actual 和 actually。

Yes, we use both actual and actually really often.

这个单词的文本记录真的很有帮助，因为我们有时候会连续说两次“actually”，一边在举这个词的例子，一边又随口带出“actually”，就是因为这个词在英语里太常见了。

This is one of those where the transcriptions would really be helpful because a couple of times we say actually twice in a row because we're sharing the example of this word and then we're throwing in actually is just because it's so common in English.

对。

Yeah.

说到文本记录，你可以去我们的App里实时查看。

Speaking of the transcripts, go on over to the app to get the transcripts in real time.

Follow along with the transcripts, add keywords, vocabulary to and your personal power make the most out of this podcast.

对。

Exactly.

好了，Aubrey，在我们今天结束之前，还有没有其他集目值得听？

All right, Aubrey, any other episode we should check before we finish up today?

有。

Yes.

如果你错过了，往上翻，听听第2572集，《如何用英语调侃别人不擅长的事》。

If you missed it, scroll up and check out episode 2,572, How to Tease Someone When They're Not Good at Something in English.

这也是一个很好的拉近距离的方式。

This is a great way to connect too.

有很多有趣又好玩的方式可以做到这一点，而且你要避免冒犯到别人。

There are fun and playful ways to do this and you wanna avoid offending.

所以那一集里的所有技巧你都需要。

So you need all of the tips in that episode.

对，我觉得今天我们学到的一点是，每当谈到英语口语中这么常用的词时，真的非常重要。

Yeah, and I think for our takeaway today, anytime we're talking about words that are used so frequently in spoken English, it really matters.

奥布里，这些词在建立联系的时候真的很关键。

It matters in these connection moments, Aubrey.

语气很重要，但用词和正确的词形也很重要。

Tone matters, but the word use matters, the correct word form.

没错。

Exactly.

我们经常也会讲到母语者常犯的错误。

And we talk often about mistakes that native speakers make too here.

这个倒不是其中之一，对吧？

This isn't one of them, right?
