149. Backing Up Into The Cloud

来吧，评论快出来吧。

Come on, comments.

加载一下。

Load up.

现在正在加载其他评论。

So it's loading the other comments.

不知道为什么，它慢得有点反常。

It's taking its time for some reason.

你说奇怪不奇怪，技术总在你最需要它的时候掉链子。

Isn't it funny how technology just kind of lets you down whenever you need it?

我觉得，这大概就是技术慢慢变坏的方式。

I think that's probably how technology is is becoming evil.

你懂的，电影里我以前说过，像《终结者》《黑客帝国》这类片子，技术发展到一定程度，莫名其妙就变邪恶了。

You know, in movies I've talked about this before, but in movies like the Terminator, the Matrix, technology gets to a certain level of development, and then it becomes evil for no reason.

也许技术并不会真的变得邪恶。

Well, maybe technology isn't just gonna become evil.

它迟早会到这么一天：我们离不开它，全靠它运转，结果它突然就瘫了。

What it's gonna do is it's gonna be it's gonna get to a point where we need it, we all rely on it, and then it's just gonna break.

它就是不工作了，完蛋了。

It's it's just gonna it's not gonna work.

我们就只能干瞪眼。

And we're like this.

说实话，平时在Facebook或者手机上我从来没遇到过这种事，可偏偏现在，评论就是加载不出来。

I mean, I this never happens to me on Facebook, on my phone, but for some reason right now, it just is refusing to load all the comments.

你可能在想，卢克，你用的可是安卓手机。

And you're probably thinking, well, Luke, you are using an Android phone.

我从不推荐用安卓。

I never I don't recommend, using Android.

你很快就会发现，安卓产品跟苹果的比起来差远了。

I think you'll find that they're far inferior compared to Apple products.

说白了，这事儿怪你，谁让你选了安卓。

It's your fault for choosing, choosing Android, to be honest.

所以你有权利这么说。

And so you you're within your rights to say that.

听起来可能有点讨人嫌，但你确实有这个权利。

Might make you sound like a bit of a twat, but, you're certainly in your rights to say it.

好的。

Okay.

评论加载出来了。

I'm getting the comments.

下一条是Anna发的，她说：嗨，Luke。

Next one is from Anna, and she says, hi, Luke.

你打算在巴黎待多久？是打算长期住下去了吗？

How long are you gonna stay in Paris, or have you moved to stay there for the rest of your life?

再问一个问题。

One more question.

你工作怎么样？

How's your job?

所以，Anna，我打算在巴黎待多久呢？

So, Anna, how long am I gonna live in Paris?

说实话，我也不太确定。

I don't know really, to be honest.

我真的说不准。

I don't really know.

谁说得准呢？

I mean, who knows?

谁能知道呢？

Who can tell?

我明天可能就决定回家了。

I could decide that tomorrow, I'm just gonna go home.

我可能会想，唉，我受够法国了。

I might think to myself, oh, I've had enough of France.

他们不会泡一杯好茶，也没啥幽默感。

They don't know how to make a good cup of tea, and they got no sense of humor.

我真的不知道。

I don't know.

或者我也可能就留下来了。

Or I might just, I might just stick around.

说实话，安娜，这取决于一些个人因素。

It it depends on personal things, to be honest, Anna.

我在这儿待着有几个个人原因。

There's a few personal reasons for me being here.

到目前为止，一切还都挺顺利的。

And, I mean, it's working out for me so far.

我很享受这里的生活，而且还能继续录制《卢克的英语播客》。

I'm enjoying it, and I'm still able to record episodes of Luke's English podcast.

我还能经常去伦敦。

And I still get to visit London regularly.

坐欧洲之星过去只有几个小时的路程。

It's only a couple of hours away by Eurostar.

我其实经常坐欧洲之星，真的特别棒。

I actually go it's pretty awesome taking the Eurostar.

首先特别方便，我住在巴黎，离欧洲之星车站大概十五分钟路程，走路就能到，上车后几个小时就到伦敦市中心了。

First of all, it's very convenient because you just go I live about fifteen minutes away from the Eurostar in Paris, so I just I can walk to the Eurostar, get on a train, and in a couple of hours, I'm in the center of London.

简直太方便了。

It's brilliant.

得提前订票。

You have to book in advance.

要想买到便宜的票，最好尽早预订。

You have to book fairly early in advance to make sure you get a cheap ticket.

但只要提前订好，就特别省事。

But if you do that, then it's very convenient.

你能在几个小时内直接抵达伦敦。

You can just be in London, in in just a couple of hours.

我就是这么做的。

And I do.

我经常过去，见朋友，做点事情。

I go regularly and see my friends and do stuff.

不过，我现在打算在法国多待一阵子。

But, yeah, I'm I'm sticking around in France for a while.

目前还没计划回伦敦，但谁知道呢？

There are no plans to go back to London yet, but who knows?

未来会发生什么，谁说得准呢？

Who knows what happen what's gonna happen?

生活过得很快，如果你不偶尔停下来留意一下，可能就错过了。

Life moves pretty fast, and if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you might miss it.

我暂时没打算搬回伦敦。

So I'm not thinking about moving back to London.

我现在更关注每天好好生活、珍惜当下，同时也要管好 finances，确保能付得起账单。

I'm just focusing on enjoying and appreciating my life on a day to day basis also while protecting, you know, my finances so I can pay the bills.

走着瞧吧。

Let's see.

那我的新工作呢，安娜？

What about my new job, Anna?

新工作啊，对，是这么回事。

Well, the new job, yes.

现在新工作占了我很多时间。

Now it's it's taking up a lot of time.

我在这儿巴黎的一所大学开始上班了，说真的，这所学校挺有名的。

I have started working at a university here in Paris, and it's quite a prestigious university, I must say.

工作环境跟以前很不一样。

And so it's a different working environment.

教学方式和整体氛围也都不同。

It's kind of a different teaching experience, a different context.

我在教课，没错，就在这家大学教大一的学生。

I'm teaching, yeah, I'm teaching first year students at this university.

我一共带了大约十门课，每班至少二十个学生，有时候能到二十五个。

I've got, about 10 classes with at least 20 students in each class, sometimes 25 students in each class.

这样算下来，每周要教两百多名学生。

So that's over 200 students each week.

两百多名学生呢。

Over 200 students.

我教的是学术英语，包括阅读、词汇、语法，还有跟美国政治、时事、重大议题、英国政治、新闻热点、法律问题等相关的内容，以及论文写作和演讲技巧。

And I'm teaching them kind of academic English, reading skills, vocabulary, grammar, vocabulary relating to things like American politics, current affairs, big issues, British politics, current affairs, and issues in the news, legal issues, and some, things like that, essay writing skills, presentation skills.

但两百多名学生，想记住每个人的名字真的很难。

Over 200 students, though, that's really difficult to remember their names.

还有就是管理上的事，得把学生分到合适的班级和水平组，确保他们按时上课，清楚自己这门课的要求。

And, also, just the administration of trying to organize these groups so that all the students are in the right class in the right level, that they all attend at the right time, that they all know exactly what they're expected to do during their course.

他们也得明白英语课程的考核方式是什么。

They all know exactly what the assessment type will be for their university course in English.

他们其实不是主修英语的。

They're not actually studying English as a major.

他们学的是其他专业，但在这里的法国大学，第一年都要上英语课，已经成标配了。

They're studying another subject, but they take lessons in English now as standard in their first year at university here in France.

所以我是在法国国家教育体系下工作，这意味着有很多行政事务要处理，而且大部分都是用法语进行的。

So I work for the French national education system, and that means there's, you know, administration to do, and a lot of it's in French.

所以我现在主要就是在应付这些法语的行政工作。

So I'm just kind of trying to deal with, admin in French.

没错，这真的是一项繁重的工作。

So, yes, it's a it's a it's a lot of work.

这份工作非常有启发性，充满挑战，也很有趣，我真的很享受这个过程。

It's very inspiring, very challenging, and very interesting, and, and I'm enjoying it a lot.

不过我得说，确实挺有压力的。

But it has been stressful, I must say.

情况很不一样，压力也相当大。

It's been very different, very and and quite stressful.

我得同时兼顾这么多班级，准备所有教学内容，确保一切井井有条，不出差错，让学生们都能上到合适的课程。

I've I'm obviously just trying to juggle all of these classes, trying to prepare all the content, so it's all really, really well organized so that there are no mistakes and so that the students, you know, are getting the right kind of course.

这真是个不小的组织挑战。

That's quite an organizational challenge.

我的意思是，刚开始做新工作的时候，通常都会比较难熬。

So, I mean, obviously, at the beginning, usually, it's hard when you start a new job.

大学课程刚开始的时候，准备工作特别多，那段时间真的特别忙。

And at the beginning of a a university course, you know, there's lots of preparation, and it's a crazy time.

现在我总算慢慢找到节奏了。

So I'm getting into the rhythm of it now.

所以我也能挤出一点空闲时间，做点别的事，比如录《Luke的英语播客》。

And so, you know, I'm managing to get a bit more free time to do things like Luke's English podcast.

我其实挺好奇我的学生们怎么样。

I I actually wonder about my students.

我的意思是，我在想他们有没有去搜过我。

And I by that, I mean, I wonder if they have googled me.

我知道大学里那个年纪的学生是什么样子的。

Now I know what students are like at university at, you know, at that age.

他们好奇心强，喜欢上网查人。

They're they're curious, and they Google people.

如果我是大学生，我肯定会去搜一下我的老师。

If I was a student at, university, you know, I would Google my teacher.

所以如果有人搜我，我一点都不奇怪，他们还可能把搜到的信息分享出去。

So I wouldn't be surprised if some of them Google me, and then they start sharing information about what they've found, on Google.

如果你去搜我，会出来一大堆结果。

And if you Google me, then there are lots of results.

你知道的，我在网上到处都能找到踪迹。

As you know, I'm all over the Internet.

我通过播客分享了不少个人生活的内容。

I've shared quite a lot of personal information through my podcast.

也不是太多隐私，但足够让他们对我有个大致的了解了。

Not too much personal information, but enough, I think, for them to just get a good idea of who I am.

当然，在学校里，我得保持一个专业的形象，才能赢得应有的尊重。

And, obviously, I, you know, I have to have a kind of professional reputation at at school in order to get the right amount of respect.

我得把自己得体地呈现出来。

I need to present myself, in the right way.

在大学里，人家都把我当成教授。

At the university, I'm considered to be a professor.

明白吧？

Okay?

你可能觉得，我在《卢克英语播客》里聊的那些内容，跟大家对教授的期待不太一样。

And you might think that the things I talk about on Luke's English podcast sometimes are not really, in line with what you expect a professor to to do.

但也许，有点不一样也没什么大不了的。

But maybe, you know, it's it's okay to be a bit different.

毕竟，我只是做我自己。

And after all, I'm just being myself.

我收到过一些人的留言，说：别担心，卢克。

So I've I've I've had messages from people about this saying, oh, don't worry, Luke.

我相信学生们一定会很喜欢你当他们的老师。

I'm sure that the students are gonna really enjoy having you as their teacher.

这正是我想表达的意思。

And that's the idea.

这正是我的打算。

That's the plan.

但我也希望你们能保持对我的基本尊重，这是应该的。

But I also want them to, you know, maintain the appropriate level of respect for me that they should have.

所以，如果我大学里的学生在听这个，那你们还是得叫我汤普森先生或者老师。

So if any of my students at university are listening to this, then, obviously, you still have to call me mister Thompson or sir.

明白吗？

Okay?

别因为你们听了我的播客，了解了我网上的那些事，

Just because you've discovered my podcast and the stuff I've done online.

就觉得我在播客里叫Luke，到了学校就可以不尊重我这个教授了。

And just because I'm called Luke on the podcast, my first name, doesn't mean you you you don't have to give me the same amount of respect as a professor at the university.

明白吗？

Okay?

对吧。

Right.

是的

Yeah.

给我应得的尊重，这不只针对大学学生。

Give me the appropriate level of respect, and that doesn't apply to just the university students.

这是对所有人都适用的。

That applies to everyone.

明白吗？

Okay?

尊重汤普森先生。

Respect mister Thompson.

谢谢。

Thank you.

所以在大学里，大家都叫我汤普森先生，说实话，这挺让人欣慰的。

So, yeah, I'm known as mister Thompson around the university, which is pretty cool, I have to say.

但我不会改掉 podcast 上的称呼。

But I'm not gonna change the podcast.

不会叫《汤普森先生的英语播客》吧，听起来有点怪。

It's not gonna become mister Thompson's English podcast because that sounds a little bit weird, I think.

所以，总的来说，安娜，这份工作进行得挺顺利的。

So, generally, Anna, the job is going pretty well.

非常感谢。

Thank you very much.

感觉不错。

And, it's good.

在这所大学工作，真让人开心。

It feels good to be working in this university.

没错。

Right.

下一个评论来自爱迪生，他问的问题跟我之前问过的一模一样。

Next comment is from Edison, and Edison said the same question I I asked before, the same question I did once.

拉丁美洲的朋友们，你们什么时候等我去一趟？

Latin America, when are you gonna visit us?

哥伦比亚到处都是Luke的英语播客。

Colombia is full of Luke's English podcast.

哎呀，Edison，真没想到。

Well, Edison, wow.

南美洲。

South America.

我昨天跟女朋友提过这事。

I actually mentioned to my girlfriend yesterday.

我说，去南美洲走一趟简直太棒了，她也觉得没错。

I said, you know, it would be it would be brilliant to visit South America, and she agreed.

我特别想去南美洲一趟。

I would love to come to South America.

真想把这趟旅行变成一次完美的假期。

I'd love to make a good holiday out of it.

我很想在南美洲好好逛一逛，这可是我人生清单上的一件事。

I'd love to go traveling in South America, and it's it's on my list of things to do with my life.

对吧？

Okay?

我从来没去过拉丁美洲，但认识很多来自南美洲的人。

I'm I've never been to Latin America, but I've met lots of people from from South America.

那是一个全新的世界，我非得去探索一下不可。

And it's just a new world which I've I have to do have to explore.

是吧？

Right?

我去过世界上其他很多地方，每次都特别有启发，但就是还没去过南美洲。

You know, I've been to other places around the world, and it's always very inspiring, but I've never been to South America yet.

我觉得要是真想好好体验，得花上很长一段时间。

I think in order to do it properly, I'd need to take quite a long time.

在拉丁美洲，可不能只待个一两周就完事。

You can't just do a week or two weeks, in Latin America.

你得在那里多待一阵子才行。

You've gotta, you know, spend more time there.

所以有一天，我打算去南美旅行，好好看看那片土地，见见当地人。

So one day, I plan to do some traveling in South America and really see the place and meet the people.

如果你说得对，埃迪森，哥伦比亚到处都是《Luke的英语播客》，谁知道呢？

And if if you're right, Edison, and Columbia is full of Luke's English podcast, Who knows?

也许我到那儿的时候，会变成个小小名人。

Maybe when I get there, I'm gonna be some kind of minor celebrity.

你有没有看过一部叫《寻找糖人》的电影？

You know, have you ever seen a movie called searching for sugar man?

说实话，我从来没看过，但听朋友提起过。

Well, I've never I to be honest, I've never seen it, but I've heard about it from friends.

我网上也读过一些介绍，早就想看了。

I've read about it online, and I can't wait to see it.

据说《寻找糖人》讲的是上世纪七十年代一位美国音乐人的故事。

Apparently, searching for sugar man is a story of a musician in in America, I think, in The US in the nineteen seventies.

他是个非常努力的音乐人。

And he's a hardworking musician.

他特别棒。

He's great.

他主要做灵魂乐。

He does kind of soul music.

这位音乐人非常勤奋，录过不少专辑，但在自己的国家却一直没得到应有的认可。

Really great musician who who worked hard and recorded albums, but never really achieved the appropriate level of success in his home country.

他付出了那么多努力，最后却放弃了成为巨星、成为大音乐人的念头。

And he he after working so hard, he kind of gave up on being a a star, on being a big musician.

他放弃了追求自己原本想达到的艺术高度，悄然隐退了。

He kind of gave up on achieving his artistic goals on the high level that he wanted to and just sort of disappeared.

这部电影——我觉得是部纪录片——制片人后来去找他，而他根本不知道这一切。

And then in this movie, which is, I think, a documentary, the filmmakers go and find him because he doesn't realize it.

他完全没意识到，自己在拉丁美洲，尤其是巴西，其实是个超级巨星。

He didn't realize that he was actually a massive, massive star in Latin America, I think particularly in Brazil.

他们找到了他，还带他去了巴西。

And they find him, and they take him to Brazil.

他一到那里，才发现自己在那个外国竟是个大明星，而他之前根本不知道。

And he and when he arrives, he's he's a huge star in this foreign country, and he never realized it.

所以谁知道呢？

So who knows?

也许我去了哥伦比亚，埃德森，我也会变成像糖人那样的人。

Maybe when I go to Columbia, Edison, I'm gonna be like Sugar Man.

我会成为大明星，一到机场就有人接。

I'm gonna be a huge star, and I'll arrive at the airport.

到时候肯定一堆狂热的粉丝、记者、狗仔队，到处都是，还有新闻发布会什么的。

And there'll be kind of, you know, crowds of screaming fans and, like, journalists and paparazzi everywhere, press conferences and stuff.

所以，卢克，你现在人在哥伦比亚，你觉得怎么样？

So, Luke, now that you're in Colombia, what do you think?

跟我们说说哥伦比亚吧。

Tell us about Colombia.

我会说：哥伦比亚，我真的很爱你。

And I'd say, well, Colombia, I love you.

然后人群就会欢呼，就是那种场面。

And then the crowd will go, yeah, like that.

所以这种情况可能发生，也可能我到机场时，空无一人。

So that might happen, or maybe I'll just arrive at the airport, and there'll just be nothing.

真的一个人都没有。

It'll just be Just no one.

可能就只有一个开出租车的司机在那儿。

Maybe one guy just going taxi.

就是啥都没有。

You know, just nothing.

这种可能性也完全存在。

That is equally possible.

但埃迪森，我唯一能弄清楚的办法，就是亲自去一趟。

But, I the only way I can find out, Edison, is just to go there.

对吧？

Right?

是的。

Yes.

好的。

Okay.

现在，罗姆，罗曼说了，去看看你的推特。

Now Rom, Roman has said, check out your Twitter.

好的。

Okay.

那看来我得去瞧瞧推特了。

I suppose that means I'm gonna have to check out Twitter now.

我手机只剩百分之十五的电量了。

I've only got 15% battery left on my phone.

这科技真不给力。

The technology's just letting me down.

好的。

Okay.

我用的是三星Galaxy S3，是新的，因为旧的坏了。

I'm I'm using my Samsung Galaxy s three, and it's a new one because my old one died.

就突然不能用了。

It just died.

平时晚上，手机都会响一声。

Normally, in the evening, the phone makes a noise.

哔哔两声，提醒我只剩15%的电量了。

It goes bleep bleep like that, meaning, I've only got 15% battery.

你赶紧给我充电吧，再不充就要没电了。

You better plug me in or I'm gonna die in a minute.

但几周前，大白天手机突然哔哔响，我觉得挺奇怪的。

But, a couple of weeks ago, my phone went bleep bleep in the middle of the day, and I thought that's weird.

那天我根本没怎么用它。

I haven't used it very much.

我过去一看，结果直接没电关机了。

And I went over to look at it, and it was just dead.

直接彻底没电了。

Just stone dead.

我试着开机。

I tried to turn it on.

一点反应都没有。

Nothing.

就是完全没电了。

It was dead.

我把电池取出来，吹了吹。

I took out the battery and blew on it.

我把它拿出来吹了吹，再装回去，试着开机。

You know, I took it out, blew on it, put it back in, turned it tried to turn it on.

还是没反应。

Nothing.

平时这么弄，一般都能好使。

And, usually, that works.

对吧？

Right?

你只要把东西拿出来吹一吹，再装回去，它就能用了。

If you just take something out and blow on it and put it back in, it works.

这简直像魔法一样。

It's magic.

呼吸的魔法。

The magic of breath.

我还轻轻拍了它几下，敲了敲桌子边，因为网上说这样有用。

You know, I I I even gave it a little tap, tapped it on the edge of the table because I read online that that would work.

没用。

No.

这个也不管用。

That didn't work either.

什么办法都不管用。

Nothing worked.

它根本就没法用了，我只好去换一个新的。

It was basically dead, so I had to go and get a replacement.

我所有的联系人都丢了。

I lost all of my contacts.

我简直什么都没了——照片、联系人、所有保存的内容、书签，还有特别烦人的是，那些我存下来的笔记。

I actually lost everything, all of my photos, all my contacts, everything that I'd saved, all my bookmarks, and, you know, really annoyingly, all of the notes which I'd saved.

我存了大量笔记，都是关于播客的点子、脱口秀素材，还有别人的地址什么的，结果全没了。

And I saved loads of notes of ideas for, podcasts, loads and loads of notes for ideas for stand up comedy material and other things, people's addresses and stuff, and I lost everything.

你可能在想，卢克，我真不想这么说。

And you might be thinking, well, Luke, you know, I hate to say it.

我本不想提醒你，但你本来可以把这些都备份到云端的。

I hate to remind you, but you could have, you could have backed all that into a cloud.

你知道的。

You know?

你完全可以存到云端，或者备份到电脑上，再转存到外接存储设备，比如移动硬盘之类的。

You could have, just saved it all on the cloud or even backed it up onto your computer and then transferred those files onto, some kind of external memory device, maybe an external hard drive.

我推荐用固态的。

Solid state one, I would recommend.

不过，我知道。

But, yeah, I know.

我明白。

I know.

事后诸葛亮谁都会当，对吧？

But it's very easy to be the president of the hindsight committee, isn't it?

回头一看，谁都能当专家，但事实是我根本没这么做。

It's very easy to look back in hindsight and be an expert, but, the fact is I just didn't do that.

但我已经吸取教训了。

But I've learned my lesson.

我换了新手机，还下载了一个应用。

I've got this new phone, and I've downloaded an app.

每天晚上，它都会自动把所有东西备份到云端。

And every evening, it automatically it automatically backs everything up into the cloud.

我一直在想，如果我们一直把东西往云端备份，什么时候才会开始下雨呢？

I wonder if if we keep backing stuff up into the cloud, when's it gonna start raining?

那是不是意味着天上会下起JPEG文件？

Does that mean it's gonna start raining JPEGs?

要是真有那么一天，JPEG图片、手机通讯录、短信和MP3从天上往下掉，那可真是够怪的。

That's gonna be a a a weird day when that happens, when JPEGs and mobile phone contacts and text messages and m p three start raining down from the sky.

到时候会发生什么？

What's gonna happen then?

我们会被一堆食物照片和猴子照片给埋了。

We're just gonna be covered in in, like, pictures of food and pictures of, like, monkeys.

我也不清楚。

I don't know.

猴子的照片？

Pictures of monkeys?

我就是随口一说，第一个想到的就是这个。

That's just the first thing that came out of my mouth.

猫视频会从天上往下掉。

Cat videos are gonna be raining down from the sky.

天哪。

Oh, dear.

没错。

Right.

罗曼在推特上跟我说过，是这样的。

So Roman on on Twitter said to me, right.

现在英国还有好多蓝色邮箱吗？你们是怎么上TEFL课程的？

So are there a lot of blue boxes left in England, and how do you how do you do your TEFL courses?

我的天。

Goodness me.

对吧？

Right?

英国现在还有好多蓝色邮箱吗？

Are there any are there a lot of blue boxes left in England?

罗马，你说的蓝色盒子，应该是指《神秘博士》里的塔迪斯吧。

By blue boxes, Roman, I think you're referring to, the TARDIS, which is from doctor who.

这个我没法详细展开讲。

Now I can't go into it in too much detail.

如果你听过我之前那期关于《神秘博士》的节目，应该早就知道了——虽然那期是很久以前的了，你可以去翻翻往期档案。

You should know really about doctor who by if you listen to my episode on doctor who, which is a long time ago now, but go back into the archives.

去 teacherluke.wordpress.com 网站看看。

Go on to teacherluke.wordpress.com.

找找页面上的搜索框。

Find the little search bar for the the the page.

在搜索里输入‘doctor who’，就能找到那期节目，到时候你就明白塔迪斯是什么了。

Search search episodes and type in doctor who, and you'll find the doctor who episode, and then you'll know what the TARDIS is.

不过我觉得，罗马，你这问题应该是看到我发在脸书和推特上的一张照片才问的——照片里我刚从塔迪斯里走出来。

But I think, Roman, this is a response to a picture which I loaded up onto Facebook and Twitter, a picture of me stepping out of the TARDIS.

我知道，你其实是想问我，现在英国还有没有很多塔迪斯。

Well, I know, Roman, you're you're you're asking me, are there lots of, TARDIS'?

伦敦或者英国有很多蓝色的警用电话亭吗？

Are there lots of blue police boxes, in London or in England?

其实没有。

Well, no.

根本没几个。

There aren't.

它们非常非常少见。

They're they're very, very rare.

当然，红色的电话亭倒是挺多的，但在街上看到蓝色的警用电话亭就太罕见了。

Obviously, there are lots of red telephone boxes, but it's very rare to find blue police telephone boxes in in the street.

说实话，现在剩下的那些，之所以还留着，全是因为《神秘博士》这部剧。

And to be honest, the only ones which are left are there, have been kept there because of doctor who.

伦敦西部的BBC外面就有一个，我前不久刚去过，还拍了一张照片。

And there is one outside the BBC in West London, And, I was there not long ago, and I I took a I had a picture of myself taken.

照片里我正从TARDIS里走出来，特别酷。

It was me stepping outside of the TARDIS, which is awesome.

我是个超级《神秘博士》迷。

I'm a big Doctor Who fan.

我其实没多少时间看这部剧。

I I don't get to watch it enough.

如果你去伦敦，特别是去西伦敦的电视中心，那里有一台塔迪斯，你可以站在旁边拍张照。

But if you do visit London, you can and you you visit television center in West London, then there is a TARDIS, and you can have your photo taken, next to the TARDIS.

挺酷的。

It's pretty cool.

罗曼的下一个问题可真是个大问题。

And Roman's next question is really a really, really big question.

你们是怎么开展英语教学课程的？

How do you do your TEFL courses?

比如你们用什么教材之类的，我想找点灵感。

For example, the material that you use and stuff so I can be inspired.

罗曼，说实话，现在我都自己写教材，全用微软Word来写，全部内容都是我自己弄的。

Well, Roman, these days, to be honest, I just write all my own material, and I do it all on Microsoft Word, and I I just write all of it because okay.

如果我有现成的教材，而且我的学生人手一本，或者我有台好用的复印机，那我就会跟着教材走，因为现在的教材质量都很高。

Well, if I have a textbook available to me and all of my students have got the textbook or I've got a good photocopier that I can use, then I will follow a textbook because textbooks these days are very good.

它们通常写得非常好，而且经过精心编辑和校对。

They're often very, very well written, and, they're carefully edited and so on.

很多教材，比如那些经典的，像《Headway》。

A lot of textbooks like, you know, the standard ones, Headway.

还有其他的吗？

What else is there?

比如《Cutting Edge》。

There's Cutting Edge.

还有《English File》之类的，还有《Inside Out》，这些教材都挺不错的。

There's English file, stuff like that, Inside Out, all of these textbooks.

它们基本上都挺好，但我喜欢按自己的方式来。

They're basically pretty good, but I like to do it my own way.

这意味着我得更辛苦，因为我要自己制作、打印和分发教材。

It it means I have to work harder because I have to produce and and print and distribute my own material.

但我就是喜欢这么做，因为这样能让我的课更有个人风格。

But I I like to do that because it just I feel like it gives me a bit more of a personal touch to the lessons.

编写教材是个很大的话题，也挺复杂的。

Writing material is is a very big subject, and it's a it's a complicated thing.

这是一种需要多年教学经验才能积累的专业能力。

It's a professional skill that you develop over over years of of teaching.

写优质的英语教学材料其实是一门学问，我现在没法细说。

There is a it's a there's a whole art to writing good TEFL material, and so I can't really go into it in a lot of detail now.

但确实如此。

But it's, yeah.

我就自己动手写。

I just write it myself.

有时候也能参考其他书里的内容做点调整，但我还是习惯自己来。

Sometimes you can adapt things which have been in other books and stuff, but I do it myself.

我是怎么设计我的英语课程的呢？

How do I do my TEFL courses?

这个问题太复杂了。

Just so complicated question.

这问题太大了。

It's such a big question.

但我想，你首先得弄清楚学生到底需要什么。

But, I suppose the first thing you need to do is just work out what are the needs of your students.

他们真正需要的是什么？

What do they really need?

他们需要哪种英语？

So what kind of English do they need?

他们在英语上有哪些困难？

What are their problems in English?

然后，试着根据这些需求来设计课程，针对他们的错误进行补救，做到个性化，围绕他们展开，尽量贴近他们感兴趣且需要的内容。

And then, you know, try and bay you know, try and write the course based on those things so that it's, remedial, so it's focusing on their errors, so that it's personalized, that you focus on them, try and get you know, follow the kinds of things they're interested in that they need.

让你的课程活起来。

You make it dynamic.

你要让课程有挑战性，让大家必须动脑筋。

You make it challenging so that everyone has to use their brains.

你要让课堂活起来，让学生真正参与进来做事。

You make it active so that people are involved in doing things.

如果他们只是坐着听，效果肯定不如给他们机会去实际完成任务。

If they're just sitting there listening, then that's not gonna be as effective as giving them opportunities to actually do tasks.

具体做起来有多难，得看教学环境。

It can be difficult depending on the teaching context.

学生人数一多，组织活动或者安排口语练习就更难了。

If you've got lots of students, it's harder to organize tasks or speaking opportunities.

你可以去听几期我之前做的节目。

Listen to a couple of previous episodes that I've done.

那几期叫‘教学噩梦’，我讲了不少关于英语教学课程的细节。

They were called nightmare teaching experiences, and I kind of go into some details about TEFL courses there.

塞巴斯蒂安·莫斯科索转推了我。

Sebastian Moscoso retweeted me.

嗨，塞巴斯蒂安。

Hi, Sebastian.

最近怎么样？

How are you doing?

好一阵子没见你了。

I haven't seen you for a while.

塞巴斯蒂安以前是我伦敦英语学校的學生，是个很优秀的学生。

Sebastian was one of my students at, London School of English and, good student.

他特别聪明，表现也很出色。

He was very sharp, and, he did very well.

很有幽默感。

Good sense of humor.

他是个死忠的九格漫画爱好者。

He's a committed nine gag user.

佩服。

Respect.

想装得酷一点。

Trying to sound cool.

是的。

Yeah.

佩服。

Respect.

我不该刻意装酷。

I I shouldn't try to sound cool.

根本没用。

It doesn't work.

最后反而像个小丑。

I just end up sounding like a a div.

小丑。

A div.

瞧瞧，就是这样。

There you go.

这给你点英式俚语。

There's a bit of British slang for you.

‘div’就是个傻瓜的意思，大概吧。

A div is like a fool, let's say.

D-I-V，这么拼。

Div, d I v.

我得把这个词加进我的英式俚语清单里。

I need to add that to my list of British slang.

这词还没列在我清单上。

That's not on my list.

明白了。

Okay.

再看看Facebook上的其他评论。

Other comments from Facebook.

咱们回过头看Facebook吧。

Let's go back to Facebook.

我的手机能加载出评论吗？

Is my phone gonna load the comments?

咱们看看。

Let's see.

有27条评论。

27 comments.

好吧。

And alright.

来自日本的野村千早说，你最喜欢哪道日本菜？

So Chisato Nomura from Japan says, what's your favorite Japanese food?

千早，现在我得说，我最爱的日本菜是拉面。

Well, Chisato, at the moment, I must say my favorite Japanese food is ramen noodles.

我超爱拉面的。

I love I love some ramen noodles.

对。

Mhmm.

我超爱这玩意儿。

I love that stuff.

拉面是用大碗盛的，大碗装着，我觉得它们有点像鸡蛋面。

Ramen noodles are served in a big bowl, Big bowl, and they are I guess they're kind of like egg noodles, I think.

配上一锅香浓的汤，里面还有蘑菇。

And they're served in a soup, a nice, delicious soup with some mushroom in there.

汤里有蔬菜片，还有香喷喷的炖五花肉。

You get bits of vegetable in there, and you also have, delicious, pork loin, braised pork loin.

那猪肉真是嫩得不行。

And it's so tender, the pork.

简直太好吃了。

It's so delicious.

我真的超爱拉面。

I love ramen noodles.

我以前住在日本的时候，记得有几次跟日本朋友出去，一起喝过啤酒。

When I used to live in Japan, I remember a couple of times I went out with some Japanese friends and drank some beer with them.

我们待到很晚，喝了不少啤酒。

And we stayed out quite late, drank quite a lot of beer.

第二天早上，我记得天刚亮的时候，被人用出租车送到了某个地方。

And then in the morning, I remember in the early hours of the morning, just being taken somewhere in a taxi.

我记得自己坐出租车去了某个地方。

I remember just going somewhere in a taxi.

我不知道要去哪儿，只知道半夜里被带去一家很棒的餐厅。

I didn't know where I was going, just somewhere to some amazing restaurant in the middle of the night.

我们到了一家拉面馆，那地方简直太棒了。

And we arrived in this ramen bar, and it was just the greatest place.

那儿有个长长的吧台，厨师们就在那儿现做拉面。

They this big bar where they're making all the ramen.

你能亲眼看着他们做，然后端上来一大碗拉面。

You can see them making it, and they serve you them ramen in a big bowl.

喝完啤酒后吃这个最合适了，汤又热又咸，味道特别香，还带点油腻，能很好地吸收啤酒里的酒精，让人暖乎乎的，特别满足。

And it's the perfect food to eat when you've had a few beers because the soup's so warm and it's kinda salty and delicious and it's quite fatty, And it just soaks up the the alcohol that you've consumed in the beer, and it makes you feel comfortable, and it fills you up.

真的特别好吃。

And it's just so delicious.

我超爱拉面。

I love ramen.

和朋友去过那家店之后，我经常想吃拉面，以前在日本住的时候，我总在公寓附近找好的拉面馆，但从来没找到比那家更棒的。

After going to that restaurant with my friends, I would often get cravings for ramen, And I used to search the streets near my apartments in Japan trying to find good ramen bars, and I never really found a a bar that was as good.

在其他国家想找碗好拉面也很难，不过最近我在巴黎发现了一家拉面做得特别棒的店。

It's very difficult to find good ramen in other countries as well, but recently, I found a place here in Paris that does really good ramen.

就在歌剧院附近，离歌剧院不远。

And it's it's in the Opera Opera area, near the Opera House.

我也不太记得具体在哪儿了。

I'm not sure exactly where it is.

我说不清怎么走，但如果你住在巴黎，说不定就知道那地方。

I can't give you directions, but it's, if if you're living in Paris, well, you might know it.

在巴黎歌剧院区，靠近哈利酒吧那儿。

It's near Harry's Bar in the opera area of, Paris.

我和一些喜剧朋友去过好几次，现在那儿成了我们常去的地方。

And I've been there with some comedian friends a few times, and it's becoming a favorite place for us to go.

我们周六演完脱口秀，就沿着大 Boulevard 走过去，找那家日本餐厅吃碗拉面。

We do our comedy show, on Saturdays, and then we walk up Grand Boulevard and find the Japanese restaurant and eat some ramen.

简直跟回到日本一样。

And it's like being back in Japan again.

真的特别棒。

It's really good.

另外，千里也说，她很期待听新一期节目。

So Chisato also said, I hope, I'm looking forward to listening to the new episode.

那你现在不就在听吗，千里？

Well, you're doing it now, Chisato.

你现在正亲身经历着呢。

It's actually happening to you right now.

下一条消息来自弗拉维奥。

Next message is from Flavio.

我先看一下时间。

Let me just check the time here.

四十四分钟了。

Forty four minutes.

天哪。

Oh my god.

时间过得真快，是吧？

Time flies, doesn't it?

确实很快。

It really does.

我是今天刚开始做这个的。

I mean, I started doing this today.

可能明天才能做完。

Maybe I'm gonna finish it tomorrow.

谁知道呢？

Who knows?

总之，弗拉维奥·加斯佩里尼已经同意了。

Anyway, Flavio Gasperini has said okay.

一位在巴西工作的BBC足球记者曾说，皇后乐队在全球被高估了，他质疑《We Will Rock You》和《We Are The Champions》为什么在世界各地的体育赛事中反复播放，认为这并不能代表英国音乐的真正面貌，而且英国公众也并不把皇后乐队视为最顶尖的乐队之一。

Once a BBC football journalist who works in Brazil said that the band Queen is overrated around the world, questioning the fact that We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions are constantly played in sports events worldwide, and that it does not represent what British music is all about, and that the British public does not put Queen as one of their finest.

虽然我觉得他这话纯属胡扯，但我还是想听听你的看法，你喜不喜欢皇后乐队？

Even though I think he's talking rubbish, I want to know your thoughts about it and if you do like Queen.

我想知道你最喜欢他们哪一首歌。

I'd like to know your favorite track from their catalog.

好了，弗拉维奥。

So okay, Flavio.

你是说，有个在巴西的BBC足球记者认为皇后乐队在英国其实没那么受欢迎？

You're saying that some BBC football journalist in Brazil said that actually Queen, the group Queen, are not all that popular in England.

我觉得这个说法我不敢苟同。

Well, I'd have to say that I don't agree with that.

我认为皇后乐队普遍被认为是英国流行音乐史上最具人气的乐队之一。

I think that Queen are considered generally to be one of the most popular bands in British pop music history.

他们确实很了不起。

They really are.

他们简直就是国宝级的乐队。

They're they're like an, a national treasure, really.

皇后乐队和弗雷迪·默丘里，大多数人特别喜欢他们的歌，我觉得《皇后乐队精选集》是英国历史上销量最高的专辑之一。

Queen and Freddie Mercury, generally, people love their songs, and their album, I think Queen's Greatest Hits, is one of the biggest selling albums of all time in The UK.

他们的《波西米亚狂想曲》，是我最喜欢的歌。

And their song Bohemian Rhapsody, which is my favorite one.

《波西米亚狂想曲》经常被票选为全国最受欢迎的歌曲。

Bohemian rhapsody was, is regularly voted as, like, the nation's favorite song.

我知道不是每个人都喜欢皇后乐队。

So I know that not everybody likes queen.

事实上，有很多人并不喜欢皇后乐队。

In fact, there there are plenty of people who don't like queen.

英国人的音乐品味非常多元。

There's there's a very broad, you know, set of musical tastes in The UK.

但总的来说，我觉得皇后乐队在英国被普遍视为我们最喜爱的乐队之一。

But generally speaking, I think that that Queen are considered to be one of our favorite groups in The UK.

布莱恩·梅简直就是国宝，对吧？

Brian May is, you know, he's a national treasure, isn't he?

他是个了不起的吉他手，音色太独特了。

He's a great guitarist with amazing sound.

皇后乐队真的非常出色，是一支才华横溢的团体。

Queen were really, really incredible band, very talented group.

不只是主唱弗雷迪一个人厉害。

It wasn't just Freddie, the lead singer.

弗雷迪当然是个超棒的台前明星，嗓音和魅力都无可挑剔，但乐队其他成员也都是才华横溢的音乐人，非常聪明。

Obviously, Freddie was an amazing frontman with this incredible voice and amazing charisma, but also the rest of the band were really talented musicians, very intelligent people.

所以你看，就是这样。

So there you go.

这就是我的看法。

That's my opinion.

我觉得他们很棒。

I think they're great.

他们倒不是我最钟爱的乐队。

They're not my favorite band by any means.

我依然特别喜欢披头士，天天都听他们的歌。

I I'm I'm still really, really into the Beatles, and I listen to the Beatles all the time.

我会时不时陷入对披头士歌曲的狂热中。

You know, I kind of go through phases of being obsessed by the Beatles' songs.

最近我一直在反复听披头士，以后还打算做个关于他们的新播客。

Recently, I've been listening to the Beatles a lot, and I'm hoping to record another podcast about the Beatles in the future.

不过皇后乐队，我确实也挺喜欢的。

But Queen, yes, I do like them.

《波西米亚狂想曲》算得上是一首小杰作。

And Bohemian Rhapsody is kind of a small masterpiece.

这首歌挺特别的，结构很独特。

It's like a it it's it's it's an interesting song.

这首歌里头有太多有意思的音乐创意了。

It's got so many interesting musical ideas in it.

歌词既神秘又耐人寻味。

The lyrics are mysterious and, interesting.

里头还有特别适合放开来摇滚的段落。

It's got, like, moments where you can rock out.

也有特别伤感的部分。

It's got sad moments.

整首歌里还穿插着忧郁的时刻。

It's got, melancholic moments in the song.

这是一首非常神秘又动人的作品。

It's a it's a very mysterious and beautiful piece of music.

《波西米亚狂想曲》，由皇后乐队演唱。

Bohemian Rhapsody by the by Queen.

你一听就能认出来。

You'll know it if you hear it.

就算你不知道歌名，一听就能认出来。

If you don't know the name of it, you if you hear it, you'll know it.

如果时间允许，我甚至可以把这首歌放在这期播客的结尾。

I might even be able to add some of that song to the end of this podcast if there's time.

如果不行，你直接在YouTube搜‘Queen Bohemian Rhapsody’就行。

But if not, then you can just YouTube search for Queen Bohemian Rhapsody.

你还要搜一下Queen在1985年Live Aid的现场，那是他们最经典的演出之一。

You should also do a YouTube search for Queen Live Aid nineteen eighty five because that's one of their most famous performances.

弗雷迪·墨丘利简直太棒了。

And Freddie Mercury is just incredible.

他在视频里是个超有魅力的主唱，表演太出色了。

He's an incredible frontman, an amazing performer in that video.

一定要去看看。

You should check it out.

好的。

Okay.

所以以色列·门多萨·佩雷斯说，是的。

So Israel Mendoza Perez says, yes.

来聊聊拉丁美洲吧。

Talk about Latin America.

墨西哥的听众都很想听你的声音。

Mexico longs to listen to your voice.

那你在这里用的教学方法是什么呢？

And what about the pedagogical approach that you use here?

我觉得挺有意思的，因为我正在大学学语言学。

I find it quite interesting since I'm studying linguistics at university.

我之前已经讲过我用的教学方法了。

Pedagogical approach that I use, I've discussed that in the past.

简单说，我做《Luke的英语播客》时，核心理念就是：你得大量接触自然的英语，不能光靠看书和背单词，更重要的是要真正去听，听得有代入感。

It's I guess it's mainly like, part of what I'm doing part of my my method with Luke's English podcast is the principle that, it's very, very important to expose yourself to a lot of natural, language, not just reading it and studying it, but just listening to it on a kind of meaningful personal level.

只要你大量吸收英语内容，这些语言素材自然会进入你的大脑，慢慢形成一套关于英语表达的潜意识数据库。

If you just consume a lot of English and a lot of it goes into into your head, then you're gonna create a kind of database, a subconscious database of English patterns.

这样你就能慢慢熟悉这门语言了。

It's gonna familiarize yourself with the language.

再配合一些传统的学习方式，我觉得这是培养地道英语的好方法。

And combined with more traditional studying, I think it's it's probably a very good way to develop natural English.

我遇到过很多学生，从来都不听英语。

I've met so many students who just never ever listen to English.

他们不听各种不同的口音，也不接触其他相关内容。

They don't listen to a range of different, accents and things like that.

结果呢，他们就明显处于劣势。

And as a result, they're just kind of, at a at a disadvantage.

我的方法可没那么简单。

The the my method is more complicated than that.

我其实已经规划好了另一期节目。

And, again, I've got, another podcast planned out even.

我还专门策划了一期，讲我的教学方法，以及怎么通过《Luke的英语播客》学好英语。

I've got I've I've even got a plan of, one all about my methods and how I believe you can learn English using Luke's English podcast.

所以这一集我还得实际去录一下。

So that's an episode which I have to actually record.

我说得太多，确实有点烦，也显得重复。

It it gets a bit annoying and repetitive when I say this so much.

是的。

Yeah.

对。

Yeah.

我打算做一集专门讲这个。

I'm gonna do an episode about that.

没错。

Yeah.

我已经规划好一集内容，就是关于这个的。

I've got I've got an episode planned about that.

当然，我没法保证什么，毕竟这可是免费服务，对吧？

Obviously, I can't make any promises because, well, it's a free service, isn't it?

你花多少钱，就拿什么质量的东西。

So you get what you pay for.

咱们看看。

Let's see.

关于拉丁美洲。

About Latin America.

我之前提过一点拉丁美洲，还有墨西哥。

Well, I've mentioned Latin America a bit, but Mexico as well.

墨西哥也是。

Mexico too.

我很想去墨西哥看看。

I would love to visit Mexico.

那是个特别有意思的国家。

It's a fascinating country.

我认识一些墨西哥人。

I've met Mexicans.

他们都特别友好，我真的很想去看看。

They're they've all been lovely, and I'd be very glad to to visit.

好的。

Okay.

让我想想。

Let's see.

波诺猩猩。

Bono chimp.

波诺猩猩。

Bono chimp.

波诺猩猩。

Bono chimp.

我不知道该怎么念。

I don't know how to pronounce it.

对。

Yes.

我有个问题。

I've got a question.

对了，你好。

Hello, by the way.

你好。

Hello.

确实如此。

Indeed.

我怎么才能说得一口地道的英式口音？

How can I get a natural British accent?

我早就学过英式英语，之后一直都在练习。

I've learned British English, and since then, I've been practicing.

现在我是英语老师了。

Now I'm an English teacher.

谢谢，卢克。

Cheers, Luke.

怎么才能说出自然的英式口音呢？

How can you get a natural British accent?

我觉得最重要的是从小就在英式英语的环境里长大，天天听，慢慢就自然了。

Well, I suppose one of the main things is you need to grow up and, you know, listening to British English all the time, and then it just happens naturally.

想刻意练出英式口音其实挺难的，关键是要搞懂英式英语里所有的音素。

It's it's rather difficult to know how to actually force yourself to to learn to get a British accent, But a lot of it is a question of understanding all the phonetic sounds in British English.

首先，你得选一个具体的英式口音。

Well, first of all, you gotta pick a British accent.

你大概说的是标准发音吧。

Probably, you're talking about received pronunciation.

你得学音标，弄清楚英式英语里每个音是怎么发的，跟你的母语有什么不同，找出那些特别的音，重点练它们。

So you need to study the phonemic alphabet and familiarize yourself with all of the sounds that we use in standard British English and how you make them, how they differ to the sounds in your language, identify the sounds that are different, between your language and British English, Focus on them.

要照着音标，一点一点模仿我们的发音，同时也要模仿英式英语的语调和节奏。

Work on trying trying to pronounce exactly the same as as us using the phonemic script, but also copy, British English.

如果你愿意，也可以试着模仿我说话的方式。

You can try and copy the way I speak if you like.

还有其他方法，比如更机械化的训练，专注于口腔肌肉的运动，调整嘴部姿势，练习伸出舌头或者做口腔肌肉的专项训练。

And, you I mean, there are other ways of doing it, like more mechanical work where you focus on the the actual muscle work in your mouth, putting your mouth into different positions, practicing pushing the tongue out or actual muscle work in the mouth.

这种训练需要专业的指导。

You need really guidance for that.

你得找一位声乐教练，帮你系统地提升。

You need a vocal trainer, a voice coach to help you to develop that.

比如演员，他们都会请专业的声乐教练来训练。

I mean, actors, for example, have, you know, trained voice coaches to do that.

你可以像好莱坞演员那样，完全走机械训练的路子，找声乐教练来打磨你的发音。

So, I mean, you know, you can go all the way and do it like the Hollywood actors do and work in a mechanical way on your voice using a voice coach.

或者自己一个人，研究音标，多听地道的英式英语，然后试着模仿。

Or on your own, just study the phonemic alphabet, listen to real British English, and sort of try and copy it.

但还有另一种观点，就是你其实根本没必要非得说一口纯正的英式口音。

But there is another argument which is that, you know, you don't really need British accent exactly.

做你自己就好。

Just be yourself.
