每日轻松英语 #1174：跟教练谢恩学习如何使用“a ways to go”

大家好。

Hello, everybody.

我叫谢恩教练，欢迎来到轻松英语表达。

My name is coach Shane, and welcome to Easy English Expressions.

来吧。

Come on.

让我们掌握英语。

Let's master English.

大家好。

Hello, everybody.

欢迎回到每日轻松英语表达，这个播客。

Welcome back to Daily Easy English Expression, the podcast.

第1174个。

Number 1,174.

哦，我非常喜欢今天的表达。

Oh, I love today's expression.

这是一个非常有用的表达。

It's such a useful expression.

你知道，也许你，比如说，你正在学习英语。

You know, maybe you, for example, you're studying English.

对吧？

Right?

你觉得好像还需要学习更多的东西。

And you feel as though you need to learn so much more.

事实上你可能并不了解。

The fact is you probably don't.

是的。

Yeah.

我稍后会谈到这一点。

I'll talk about that in a second.

但首先，让我们来看看对话内容。

But first, let's check out the dialogue.

这个很棒的表达是什么？

What is this great expression?

你的项目进展得怎么样？

How's your project going?

还不错。

Well, not too bad.

你觉得自己什么时候能完成？

When do you think you'll finish?

我还有一段路要走。

I've got a ways to go.

多棒的一个表达啊。

What an excellent expression.

我还有一段路要走。

I've got a ways to go.

a ways，w-a-y-s，还有一段路要走。

A ways, w a y s, ways to go.

还有一段路要走。

A ways to go.

这是一个很棒的表达，意思是我还有一段很长的路要走。

This is a great expression, and it means I have a long way to go.

我还有很多事要做。

I have a lot to do.

所以对话是这样的：你的项目进展如何？

So the dialogue was, how is your project going?

所以这个人正在做一个项目。

So this guy is working on a project.

进展得怎么样？

How is it going?

进展顺利吗？

Is it going well?

另一个人说：还行吧。

And the other guy says, well, not too bad.

意思是，进展还不错。

Meaning, it's going pretty good.

还不错。

Not too bad.

你知道，这不容易，但情况还行。

You know, it's not easy, but things are okay.

你觉得什么时候能完成？

When do you think you will finish?

另一个家伙问。

The the other guy asks.

哦，我还有一段路要走。

Oh, I've got a ways to go.

哦，这得花点时间。

Oh, it's gonna take a while.

我离完成还远着呢。

I'm not close to finishing.

我还有很多事情要做。

I still have a lot to do.

那还有一段路要走。

That is a ways to go.

就像我在开头说的，你们可能觉得自己掌握英语还有很长的路要走，但我在这里告诉你们，这可能并不真实。

And like I said in the opening, you guys might think you have a ways to go to master English, but I'm here to tell you that's not probably true.

比如词汇量。

For example, vocabulary.

你觉得自己的词汇量足够了吗？还是觉得还有很长的路要走？

Do you think you know enough vocabulary, or do you think you have ways to go?

好吧，我告诉你，你很可能已经不需要再走那么远了。

Well, I'll tell you, you probably do not have a ways to go.

说到词汇量，你知道吗？如果你想听懂母语为英语的人之间日常对话中90%的单词，

When it comes to vocabulary, did you know if you want to understand 90%, nine zero, 90% of the words in a typical conversation between, you know, native English speakers.

你可以想象一下情景喜剧《老友记》。

You can imagine the sitcom, the TV show Friends.

如果你想理解90%的词汇，你需要掌握多少个单词？

If you want to know 90% of the words, how many words do you need to know?

答案会让你大吃一惊。

The answer will shock you.

答案是743个。

The answer is 743.

我不是在开玩笑。

I'm not joking.

743个单词。

743 words.

如果你看美剧《老友记》，比如罗斯、钱德勒、乔伊、瑞秋、莫妮卡、菲比，他们90%的对话都由这743个单词组成。

If you watch the TV show friends, you know, Ross, Chandler, Joey, Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, 90% of their dialogue is made up of 743 words.

我不是在开玩笑。

I'm not joking.

这是科学事实。

That's a scientific fact.

我在我们的社区里列出了这些单词。

I have the list of words in our community.

School.com/lme。

School.com/lme.

所以我有个好消息要告诉你。

So I have good news for you.

你已经掌握了这743个单词。

You know these 743 words.

问题是，你不知道该怎么使用它们。

The problem is you don't know how to use them.

就像今天对话中的‘ways’，w-a-y-s，表示‘去’的意思。

Just like in today's dialogue, ways, w a y s, to go.

这些单词都很简单。

These words are easy.

这些单词本身没什么难的，但怎么用它们，这才是关键。

There's nothing too difficult about these words, but how we use them, that's what's tricky.

这就是e cubed的全部意义。

That's what e cubed is all about.

简单的英语表达。

Easy English expression.

这是日常英语。

It's daily English.

这正是我正在教你们的。

That's what I'm teaching you.

记住啊，朋友们，你们正在收听这个播客。

And remember, guys, you're listening to this podcast.

非常感谢。

Thank you so much.

请告诉你们的朋友。

Please tell your friends.

我真的很感激。

I I really appreciate it.

但光是听是不够的。

But listening alone is not enough.

写下来也是不够的。

Writing it down is not enough.

对自己说一遍也不够。

Saying it to yourself is not enough.

你需要使用它。

You need to use it.

你需要真正地使用它。

You need to actually use it.

这不是一个你能马上使用的表达。

And this isn't an expression you can use right away.

我还有很长的路要走。

I have a ways to go.

我妻子给我准备了午餐。

My wife gave me lunch.

是的

Yeah.

一大碗汤。

A big bowl of soup.

她问，汤怎么样？

She said, how is the soup?

哦，真的非常好喝。

Oh, it's really, really good.

你快吃完了？

Are you almost finished?

没有。

No.

它很烫。

It's hot.

所以我还得继续努力。

So I still have a ways to go.

我还有很多东西要吃。

I have a lot to eat yet.

这是一个很棒的表达方式，但你需要使用它，并让它成为你自己的。

This is an excellent expression, but you need to use it, and you need to make it yours.
