无论是做演讲、开会，还是参加公司派对，这都是真正实用的商务英语，由你最喜欢的美国主持人Lindsay和Aubrey带来，她们分别来自美国的亚利桑那州和科罗拉多州。

For a presentation, a meeting, or your office party, this is Real Business English with your favorite American hosts, Lindsay and Aubrey, coming to you from Arizona and Colorado, USA.

你好，Lindsay。

Hello, Lindsay.

你最近怎么样？

How are you doing?

嘿，Aubrey。

Hey there, Aubrey.

我很好。

I'm doing great.

你今天怎么样？

How are you today?

非常好。

Excellent.

我有个问题想问你。

I have a question for you.

好的。

Okay.

你知道，你还记得我在All Ears English团队多久了吗？

Do you know, do you remember how long I have been on the All Ears English team?

你还记得吗？

Do you remember do.

多久了？对。

How long Yeah.

我觉得你加入我们是在，我想说是2019年。

I think you joined us in, I wanna say 2019.

差不多就在疫情之前，对吧。

It was sort of right before the pandemic, wasn't Correct.

对。

Yes.

所以大概七年前。

So about seven years ago.

快七年了，没错。

Coming up on That's seven right.

我先是当了雅思能量播客的联合主持人，然后才是All Ears English。

I was first a co host of IELTS Energy and then All Ears English.

现在我们也在这边做商务英语播客。

Now here we are on the Business English Podcast as well.

三个都做了。

All three.

太好玩了。

It's so fun.

所以，是的，

So yeah,

你可能注意到了我用了这个短语，我们到了。

you may have noticed I used this phrase, here we are.

今天我们要回答一位听众关于这个短语以及几个我们在工作中经常使用的相关短语的问题。

Today we're answering a listener question about this phrase and a few related phrases that we use often at work.

所以我很期待深入探讨这个话题。

So I'm excited to dive into this.

问得真好。

What a good question.

我很高兴，很高兴我们的听众问了这个问题，因为这在英语中太常见了。

I'm glad I'm glad our listener asked this question because this is so common in English.

对吧？

Right?

没错。

Exactly.

奥布里，我要不要直接念一下这个问题？

Should I should I go ahead and read the question, Aubrey?

好的。

Yes.

好。

Okay.

这位听众说，你好。

The listener says, hello.

我叫住美，来自日本，我真的很喜欢你们的播客。

My name is Sumi from Japan, and I really enjoy your podcast.

我有一个问题。

I have a question.

你们是怎么用“here we are”、“here you go”和“there you go”这些短语的？

How do you use here we are, here you go, and there you go, etcetera?

我搞不清楚每种情况下该用哪个。

I'm confused about which one is appropriate in each situation.

谢谢你们的精彩工作。

Thank you for your great work.

此致敬意，Sumi。

Best, Sumi.

这个问题问得好，是的，我们在日常对话中经常用这些，但在工作中用得也很多。

Such a good question and yes we use these all the time in daily conversations as well but we use them a lot at work.

所以我们想在这里重点讲讲我们在工作中怎么用，但也会举一些日常对话的例子，因为这两种场合你肯定都会用到。

So we wanted to bring this to you here to focus a little more on how we use them at work but we will have some examples for daily conversations as well because you'll use them for both definitely.

当然。

For sure.

好，那我们今天从哪里开始呢，Aubrey？

Alright, so where should we start today Aubrey?

嗯，这些词其实各有不同的意思。

Yeah, well these are all used to mean different things.

所以我们会分享每个词的意思、它们之间的区别，以及如何在工作和日常生活中自然地使用它们。

So we will share what each one means, the difference between them, and how you can use each naturally at work and in everyday life.

但首先，我们想分享一些最近在Spotify上为《商务英语播客》留下的评论。

But first, we wanted to share some recent reviews that were left in Spotify for the Business English Podcast.

特别感谢Carmen Jimenez，她说：“我喜欢你们的全部播客。”

Shout out and thank you to Carmen Jimenez, who said I love all your podcasts.

They've helped me a lot.

来自墨西哥的问候。

Regards from Mexico.

还有Yasmin Knock，她说：“感谢这个精彩的话题和你的努力。”

Also, Yasmin Knock, who said thank you for this amazing topic and your effort.

还有Javier Salas，他说：“很棒的播客。”

And Javier Salas, said excellent podcast.

非常感谢。

Thank you so much.

所以谢谢大家的这些评论和评分。

So thank you for these reviews and ratings.

我们全都看过了，真的非常感谢。

We read all of these and we really appreciate them.

And again, leave your review because it means a lot to us.

我们为这个节目投入了很多心血，想看看你们觉得怎么样。

We put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears and heart into this show and we want to see what you think about the show.

对吧？

Alright?

当然。

Absolutely.

对。

Yes.

所以一定要在你收听播客的地方留下评论或评分。

So definitely leave a review or rating wherever you listen to podcasts.

那我们就直接开始吧，Lindsey。

And let's dive in here, Lindsey.

好的。

Okay.

好，我们先从这些包含 here 的短语讲起。

Here, we're going to start first with these phrases that use here.

比如说，'here we are' 这个短语。

For example, with here we are.

这个我们在哪里用到它？

Where can we use this?

那我们什么时候用它呢？

When do we use this one?

最常见的用法就是指真正到达某个地方，或者是一起到达某个时刻。

Well, the most common one is is really just arriving physically or arriving at a moment together.

所以不一定非得是实际的场景，但你可以是在和某人共享一个时刻。

So it doesn't have to be a physical moment, but you could be sharing a moment with someone.

对吧？

Right?

比如你们正在经历的事情。

What you're going through.

是的。

Yeah.

比如说，你和同事到达客户办公室的时候，就可以说，到了。

So for example, if you reach a client's office with a coworker, be like, here we are.

你停好车，下车。

You park, get out.

我们到某个地方的时候经常会这么说。

We would say that all the time arriving somewhere physically.

但就像你说的，也可以是达到某个时刻。

But also like you said reaching a moment.

比如说是谈论感情。

Maybe talking about a relationship.

你在网上认识一个人，然后说，你看，我们还在一起。

You meet someone online and say here we are still together.

对吧？

Right?

那时候它并不是指你真的在某个地方。

And in that case it doesn't mean that you physically are somewhere.

你知道，你的伴侣可能在澳大利亚，而你在这里，你说我们在一起七年了，你看，我们依然还在一起。

You know your partner could be in Australia and you're here and you're saying we've been together seven years, here we are still together.

这有点像在说，这就是结果，对吧？

It's kind of like the idea of saying this is the outcome, right?

没错。

Exactly.

或者你要开始或展示某个东西的时候，也可以说，那我们就开始吧，感谢大家今天的到来。

Or if you're starting or you're presenting something, right, you could say, so here we are, Thanks for coming today.

所以在这里你是说，好的，我准备好了。

So here you're saying, okay, I'm ready.

我准备好了，没错。

I'm ready Exactly.

准备开始。

To get

对，这不意味着你们真的在一起，但我们可以这么说，意思是我一切都准备好了。

Yeah, doesn't mean you're physically all there together like we know, but we'll just say that meaning like I'm all set up.

我准备好出发了。

I'm ready to go.

这有点像开场白。

It's sort of this introductory phrase.

好了，我们开始吧，然后你就直接进入正题。

Alright, here we are and you'll just dive in and get started.

对，我觉得这样用的话会显得更有礼貌一些，对吧？

Yeah, it's I feel like it's a little more polite when you use it that way, right?

而不是说“我们开始吧”，对吧？

Instead of like here we go, right?

对。

True.

这里面确实有一点点礼貌和尊重的意味，可能是对在场的人表示尊重。

There is this slight nuance of politeness of deference deference maybe to who's there.

你可能会说，而不是说“我们开始吧”。

You might instead of saying here we go.

如果你是在给董事会做演示，想表现出更多的尊重，你可能会这样说。

If you are presenting to a board, right and you're trying to show a little more respect, might say this.

好，我们到了，然后开始。

Alright, here we are and then start.

奇怪的是，这样听起来更正式或者更礼貌，是不是？

Strange how that's more formal or more polite isn't it?

这确实有点奇怪。

That's a weird thing.

对，确实。

Yeah, True.

最后，你正在融入一个时刻，比如你和同事在欢乐时光见面，对吧？

And then lastly, you are settling into a moment, maybe you're meeting at happy hour with some coworkers, right?

你在酒吧见到他们，可能会说，我们终于在一起喝一杯了。

And you meet them at the bar, you might say like, here we are, finally getting a drink together.

就是给那个时刻命名，让它显得更有意义一些。

Just sort of like naming the moment and making it a little more momentous.

没错。

Exactly.

然后听众在问题中提到的一个短语是“给你”。

And then the next phrase that the listener mentioned in the question was here you go.

奥布里，这个跟你刚才说的有什么区别？

Now how is this one different Aubrey?

好。

Yeah.

这更多是关于把某物给或转交给别人。

This is more about giving or transferring something to someone.

所以我们在递东西的时候会用到它。

So we use it, for example, when we're handling something.

比如我把饮料或手机递给别人时，可能会说“给你”。

If I hand someone a drink or their phone, I might say, Here you go.

我这么说就是提醒他们，他们可能没在看我。

And I'm just letting them know they might not be looking at me.

这通常就是我们表示递东西给对方时说的话。

And that's often what we'll say to indicate that we're handing something to them.

对。

Right.

所以这有点像提醒。

So it's kind of a heads up.

就像说，嘿，伸出手来。

Like, hey, put your hands out.

准备好。

Be ready.

我要把这杯饮料或这个东西给你，不管是什么。

I'm going to give you this drink or this thing, whatever it is.

有趣的是，我们在发送数字内容时也会这么说。

And interestingly, we'll also say this when we're sending something digitally.

比如发邮件时，我们附上文档，可能会说“给你”。

If we're emailing someone, we're attaching a document, we might say, here you go.

所以这不仅用于递实物，也用于数字交付。

So it's not just for handing things physically, but also delivering things digitally.

对。

Yeah.

说到礼貌，有一种方式可以让这句话更礼貌一些。

And speaking of politeness, there's a way to elevate this and be a little more polite.

是什么呢，Aubrey？

What is it, Aubrey?

你可能还会听到“here you are”，这听起来确实更有礼貌。

You might also hear, here you are, which does sound more polite.

对吧？

Right?

意思是一样的，只是稍微正式一点。

It means the same thing, but it's just slightly more formal.

在日常英语中，“here you go”更常见。

Everyday English, here you go is more common.

我大概不会递饮料给别人时说“here you are”。

I probably wouldn't hand someone a drink and say, here you are.

但在工作中递文件时，我会说“here you are”。

I would at work if I'm handing a document to someone, here you are.

这确实更有礼貌一些。

It is slightly more polite.

我想有些人可能在日常或休闲生活中用“here you are”，因为他们比较讲究。

I guess there are people who in their casual life or daily life might use here you are because they're a little bit more fancy.

确实。

Definitely.

完全有可能，或者在英国英语里更常见。

Definitely possible or it might be more common in British English.

这很关乎个人的风格。

This is very much about someone's own personal style.

你知道吗，有些人在日常对话中非常随意。

How you know some people are a lot more casual and informal in their everyday speech.

是的，完全正确。

Yes, that's totally right.

还有什么，Aubrey？

And what else Aubrey?

我们还需要了解什么？

What else do we need to know here?

没错，然后我们还想指出，here we go 是用来带着兴奋或期待开始某件事的。

Yeah, and then we just want to also point out that here we go is used to start something with energy or anticipation.

这和列表上的其他意思真的很不一样。

This is really different from these other meanings on the list.

比如，在重要的旅行或演讲之前，我们想让那一刻更有仪式感。

So for example, before a big trip or presentation, we're wanting to make the moment bigger.

我们可能会说，开始了。

We might say, here we go.

就像我设想我们在游乐园坐过山车一样。

Like I'm imagining us on an amusement park ride.

过山车马上就要启动了，我们说，开始了。

The roller coaster is about to begin and we say here we go.

但我们在工作中有时也会这么说，只是为了强调某件事的重要性或制造兴奋感。

But we will say this at work sometimes just to sort of drum up importance or excitement about something.

对，这个短语有很多不同的意思，取决于你说话的语气，有些细微的差别。

Yeah, there's a lot of different meanings for this depending slight nuance meanings depending on your tone of voice.

就像你举的过山车的例子一样。

Like your example of the roller coaster.

我们开始吧。

Here we go.

对吧？

Right?

你的声音里带着一点紧张。

There's a little trepidation there in your voice.

确实是这样。

That's true.

而我以前打大学网球的时候，经常喊，加油，我们上。

Whereas when I used to play college tennis, I was constantly saying, come on, here we go.

我们上。

Here we go.

对吧？

Right?

那又有点不一样。

That's slightly different.

我们是想在体育比赛中给自己打打气。

We're trying to amp ourselves up a little bit in a sporting event.

你这一点说得很好。

That's a really good point.

你的语调、语气会随着情境不同而变化。

Your intonation, your tone will be different depending on the context.

过山车要开始的时候和开会时，你说出来的话是不一样的。

You would not say it the same when a roller coaster is about to start as you would in a meeting.

对吧？

Right?

没错。

Exactly.

所以它取决于你想表达什么样的情绪。

So it changed depending on the feeling that you want to put behind it.

我很喜欢。

Love it.

说得太好了。

So well said.

好的，奥布里，还有什么？

Okay, Aubrey, what else?

我们接下来要讲什么？

Where do we go from here?

对，我们来看看这些以“there”开头的短语。

Yeah, let's dive into these phrases beginning with there.

所以，你知道，我们的听众还提到了“there you go”。

So, you know, our listener also mentioned there you go.

这是什么意思？

What does this mean?

好的，

Okay,

这基本上就是说你在认可别人正在做的事情，是对他们行为的反应。

so this basically means that you're acknowledging kind of what someone else is doing, a reaction to what they did.

对吧？

Right?

没错。

Exactly.

所以，如果我教一个孩子骑自行车，他们骑对了，我就会说，这就对了。

So maybe if I teach a kid to ride a bike and they're doing it correctly, I'd be like, there you go.

对吧？

Right?

这只是一种说法，意思是干得好，你做到了。

It's just a way of saying, well done, you did it.

有点像在说你能做到，对吧？

Kind of means like you can do it, right?

很明显你能做到。

It's clear that you can do it.

或者表示某人明白了什么，对吧？

Or the fact that someone understands something, right?

终于有人明白了，就像灯泡突然亮了。

Someone has finally, like the light bulb has come on.

你的朋友搞懂了一条语法规则。

Your friend figures out a grammar rule.

这不就对了。

There you go.

就是这样。

That's it.

你做到了

You got

对，是吧？

Exactly, right?

这个词确实暗示了之前花了不少时间和功夫去搞明白。

It definitely implies that like there was time, there was work to figure something out.

通常孩子学骑车都得花上一阵子。

It takes a kid a little while usually to figure out how to ride a bike.

就像，好吧，你做到了。

It's like alright, there you go.

所以是的，这些通常不只是说你做到了。

So yeah, these are often, it's not just like you did it.

有些事情可能很快完成，你可能只会说太棒了，你做到了。

Something could be very quick and you might just be like awesome, you did it.

它暗示付出了努力。

Implies work was put in.

那如果我们想鼓励别人呢？

Or what about if we want to encourage someone?

很相似，对吧？

Very similar, right?

你会怎么说？

What would you say?

是的，也许一个朋友在健身房举重。

Yeah, maybe a friend is lifting weights at the gym.

你知道，你可以说，好，就这样。

You know, you could say, alright, there you go.

你可以的。

You got this.

继续加油。

Keep going.

我们在工作中也会这么说。

And we use this type of thing at work as well.

比如你是个会计，面前堆了一堆文件，对吧？

Like if someone, maybe you're an accountant and you have a pile of documents, right?

而你正为那个头痛。

And you are struggling with it.

你可以想象一个同事，你做完后他看到了，就说：好，这不就对了。

You can imagine a coworker being like, as soon as you finish and they see that you've finished, alright, there you go.

你做到了。

You did it.

是的，完全同意。

Yes, totally.

再说一次，对，或者某人表现出我们之前说的那种预期行为。

Again, yeah, or someone exhibits that expected behavior, as we've said.

比如，一个朋友总是爱做假设。

For example, a friend is always making assumptions.

这有点偏负面，对吧？

This is a little bit more negative, right?

但我们是在说，我们看到你在做我们预料到你会做的事。

But we're saying that we see that you're doing something that we expected you to do.

你又开始假设了，对吧？

There you go assuming again, right?

如果你这么说，可能会有点挑衅。

And that could be a little confrontational if you say that.

对，这个有点棘手。

Yeah, this one's tricky.

所以你可以说，比如你有个同事总是迟到，他一进来你就说，看吧，又迟到了。

So you might say, maybe you have a coworker that's always late and they come in and you're like, there you go, being late again.

你想开个玩笑，保持轻松一点，但如果他们本来就很敏感，也许他们已经很苦恼，可能很难准时到，可能因为这事被批评过，受过处分。

And you're trying to be playful and keep it light hearted, but if they're already sensitive about that, maybe they're frustrated, they're having a hard time getting there on time, maybe they've been reprimanded for it, disciplined.

这一点你能理解，即使你是想开玩笑，那还是在批评。

That you could understand, even if you're trying to be playful, it's still critical.

所以说，在工作场合用这个要小心。

So I would be careful with this one at work.

是的。

Yes.

百分之百。

100%.

你看过电影《我的盛大希腊婚礼》吗？

Have you seen the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding?

我们之前聊过，但可能不在商务英语播客上聊过。

We talked about this before, but maybe not on the Business English Podcast.

我超喜欢那部电影。

I love that movie.

真的特别搞笑，而且我特别喜欢那个爸爸总是解释每个词都源自希腊语。

It's so so funny, and I love how the dad is always explaining how every word comes from Greek.

对吧？

Right?

对。

Yes.

然后他说，所以你看吧。

And he says, so there you go.

说完之后，他就说米勒这个词来自希腊语的milo，意思是苹果。

After it, he's like Miller comes from the word Greek milo for apple.

所以你看吧。

So there you go.

所以你看吧。

So there you go.

这下全都说得通了。

Everything makes sense.

然后我觉得孙子孙女们也开始说对了。

And then I think the grandkids started saying it right.

所以你看，就是这样。

So there you go.

对，就是这样。

So there you go.

是的，我太喜欢了。

Yes, I love it so much.

然后我们还有另一个说法，叫There We Go，这个挺有意思的。

And then we have There We Go, which this is interesting.

它更侧重于一个共同的结果，或者某件事终于成功了，对吧？

Focuses more on a shared result or something finally working, right?

它关注的是情况本身，而不是某个人。

Focuses on the situation rather than a person.

对。

Right.

你为某件事付出的努力。

The effort that you've put into something.

对，就像某件事终于成功的时候。

Right, like when something finally works.

也许你花了一整天修那个坏掉的WiFi。

Maybe you've been fixing the broken WiFi all day long.

你可能会说,搞定了。

You might say, there we go.

终于能用了。

It finally works.

我把它弄好了。

I made it work.

是的。

Yes.

有意思的是，就算你一个人修WiFi，没人帮忙，你还是会说‘搞定啦’。

And it's interesting how you could be working on fixing the WiFi alone and you're still saying there we go even if no one helped you.

这只是一个片段。

It's just a chunk.

这个表达挺有意思的。

It's this interesting expression.

对，你说吧。

Yeah, go ahead.

或者就算周围没人。

Or even if there's no one around.

意思是，这也不代表是‘我们’，比如并不是说我们都在这儿等着你来修好它。

Mean it could also, it doesn't mean it's a we like we're all here in this room waiting for you to fix it.

对吧？

Right?

你完全可以自己说出来。

You could just say it.

对吧？

Right?

对。

Yeah.

这才是这个最有趣的地方。

That's what's really interesting about this one.

哦，就是这样。

Oh, there we go.

那'我们'是指你和谁？

It's you and who?

没有。

No.

即使是你一个人做的，还是用了'我们'。

We're still using we even though you did it on your own.

真有意思。

Really interesting.

你

Do you

你喜欢修理东西吗？

do you like to fix things?

奥布里，修家里的东西那种事情，你会不会特别开心？

Do you get a lot of joy, Aubrey, out of, like, fixing household items, that kind of thing?

有时候会，对。

Sometimes, yeah.

如果我弄明白的话。

If I am able to figure something out.

我最近和我丈夫聊了聊家务，我们之前都以为那些是对方负责的，对吧？

I had a conversation with my husband recently about chores that we sort of had assumed were the other persons, right?

他是会修自行车链条和清理游泳池的那个人。

He was the one who would fix a bike chain and clean the pool.

而我通常负责做晚饭。

And I'm usually making dinner.

而且很多家务是共用的。

And a lot of them are shared.

比如他会洗衣服。

Like he'll do laundry.

有很多事情并没有明确分工。

There are a lot of things that were not so designated.

我们后来聊了聊这件事。

And we kind of talked about it.

是什么让我们决定这样的，因为我们从来没有说过你做什么、我做什么。

What made us decide like because we never had a conversation where like you'll do this and you'll do this.

这太有意思了。

That's so interesting.

所以，有时候我会主动去学做一些以前总是指望他做的事情。

And so every now and then when I take it upon myself to figure out how to do something that I've always sort of just expected him to do.

对，我总会有点为自己感到骄傲。

Yeah, I'm always kind of proud of myself.

你感觉好吗？

You feel good?

是的，很有成就感，我会告诉他的。

Yeah, it's satisfying I'll tell him

我搞清楚了怎么换冰箱的保险丝。

I for figured out how to replace the fuse on the freezer.

这好像是件大事，我觉得自己像是在一点点拆掉父权制，但只是那么一小点。

That's like some big momentous thing, I'm like, I feel like I'm tearing down the patriarchy just one little bit But at a like

一步一步来。

one step at a

做了一件我原以为只有男人才能修的事。

time doing something I assumed a man would fix.

我就想，我能行。

I'm like, I can do this.

我只要看个YouTube视频就能学会怎么做。

I just can watch a YouTube video and figure out how to do this.

现在什么都能在YouTube上找到。

Everything's on YouTube now.

所以

So

我们也可以。

we can.

对吧？

Right?

我是说，对，

I mean, yeah,

我喜欢，下一步是什么？

I love What's the step?

给我的车换机油。

Change the oil on my car.

哎呀。

Uh-oh.

我还没到那一步，但我可以做到。

I haven't gotten there yet, but I could.

我知道我能行。

I know I could do it.

哇，我敢打赌你肯定能做到，下次来的时候一定要告诉我们结果。

Wow, I bet I'm sure you could absolutely report back to us after you come I next will.

我打算

I'm gonna

去做。

do it.

也许我会等到一月份或二月份。

Maybe I'll wait till January, February.

现在外面太热了，所以我不会现在去换机油。

Right now it's really hot outside, so I'm not gonna be changing the oil in a car right now.

哦，那当然。

Oh, for sure.

所以，那个，这就是下一个例子，对吧？

So, that, and that's the next example, right?

再说一次，完成一项任务。

Again, finishing a task.

就这样。

There we go.

都搞定了。

All set.

我们刚刚给汽车换了机油。

We've just changed the oil in a car.

对吧？

Right?

没错。

Exactly.

我们就会这么说。

That's what we would say.

好了。

There we go.

然后你拍拍手上的灰，表示搞定了。

And you dust your hands off like done.

搞明白了。

Figured it out.

进入一种安顿下来的状态，这个我们在前面几个表达里也提到过。

Settling into a moment, which we mentioned with one of these other expressions.

比如你在准备一个派对或者电影之夜，等一切都准备好了，你就准备好享受这一刻了。

Maybe you're setting up for a party or a movie movie night, and once it's all done, you're ready to settle in the moment.

你会说，好了。

You'd say, there we go.

现在我们可以放松了。

Now we can relax.

是的。

Yeah.
