170. Basking in My Moment of Glory / Vocabulary of Success & Failure

就是沉浸在胜利的喜悦里。

Just, just soaking up the glory.

得了吧。

Come on.

就是这样。

Like that.

明白吗？

Okay?

这叫沉浸在荣耀的时刻。

That's basking in a moment of glory.

我得了第一名。

I came in the I came in first place.

这个说法挺清楚的。

Well, that's that's a fairly clear expression.

第一名、第二名、第三名、最后一名，都是这么讲的。

To come in first place, first place, second place, third place, last place.

比如说，我拿到了第一名。

For example, I came in first place.

好的。

Alright.

领先就意味着你处在最前面。

To be in the lead to be in the lead, that means that you're at the front.

在比赛或竞速中，你就是领头的那个。

You're you're the leader of a a group in a competition or race.

如果你领先了，那就说明你在最前面。

If you're in the lead, it means you're at the front.

我刚想到另一个说法，叫‘杆位’，这明显跟赛车有关——比赛开始时，如果你的车排在最前面，那就是占了杆位。

Another one I've just thought of is to be in pole position, which obviously relates to motor racing, you know, if you're at the front of the the group of cars at the beginning of the race, you're in pole position.

领先。

To be in the lead.

对吧？

Right?

下一个表达是‘不分胜负’，跟某人不分胜负。

Now the next one is to be neck and neck to be neck and neck with someone.

如果你跟对手不分胜负，或者跟其他参赛者势均力敌，那就说明你们水平完全一样，这个词常用于赛马。

So if you're neck and neck with a competitor or neck and neck with the competition, it means that you're at exactly the same level, and it relates to horse racing.

明白吗？

Okay?

你看赛马的时候，如果马匹并驾齐驱，脖子都处在同一条线上，那就是不分胜负。

So if you look at a horse race and the horses are exactly level, their necks are, you know, level with each other.

它们就是不分胜负，‘不分胜负’就是形容你跟别人水平相当。

They are neck and neck, and you are it it's to be neck and neck with someone.

懂了吗？

Alright?

说不定我当初跟对手也是不分胜负呢。

So who knows, I might have been neck and neck with the competition.

结果最后我却是领先的。

It turns out I was in the lead.

对吧？

Right?

下一个表达是‘落后’。

The next expression is to fall behind.

就是处于落后的状态。

To be falling behind.

意思是你的位置越来越靠后，远远落在其他人后面。

That means that your position is getting lower and lower, you're getting you're you're going behind all the others.

别人都在往前赶，而你却在掉队。

Everyone else is going ahead of you and you're falling behind.

比如比赛时，如果你比别人慢很多，就会渐渐落后。

For example, if if there's a race and you are much slower than the others, then you'll start to fall behind.

对吧？

Right?

接下来该怎么做呢，各位短语猎人们，你们肯定知道这个。

What you then have to do, of course, phrasal verb hunters, you'll know this one.

如果你落下了，你就得加快速度，努力追上其他人。

What you if you're falling behind, what you have to do, you have to speed up, you have to try and catch up with everyone.

追上之后，你还得跟上他们的节奏，对吧？

And once you've caught up with them, you then have to keep up with them, don't you?

没错。

That's right.

好的。

Okay.

接下来是一些表达。

Next is some phrases.

这事稳了。

It's in the bag.

这事稳了，老兄。

It's in the bag, mate.

别担心。

Don't worry.

如果某事在袋子里，那就意味着它肯定能成功。

If something is in the bag, it means that it's it's a definite success.

这肯定会成功。

It's sure to be a success.

或者我们肯定能赢，或者已经稳稳到手了。

Or we are we it's it's sure that we're going to win something, or that we've got something.

‘在袋子里’就是说你肯定能赢。

It's in the bag means you're definitely going to win.

这事已经板上钉钉了，你知道的，稳了，你已经拿下了。

It's already in the bag, you know, it's in the bag, mate, you've got it.

别担心。

别担心。

No worries.

好了，我们之前说过这个，我不确定有没有跟丹尼尔·伯特提过，你可能早就知道了。

Okay, we had that in the the I don't know if we talked about if I talked about that phrase with Daniel Burt, you probably know it already.

在与丹尼尔对话的第二部分，我们会聊到一些常见的澳大利亚说法。

In part two of the conversation with Daniel, you'll hear us talking about some common Australian phrases.

‘No worries’ 就是其中之一，大家一想到澳大利亚就会联想到这句话，但其实不止澳大利亚人这么说。

And no worries is one of those phrases that we associate with the Australians, but it's not just Australians.

很多人都会用这句话。

Lots of people say it.

‘No worries’ 就是‘没问题’的意思。

No worries means no problems.

你根本不用担心。

You got no problems.

一切都没事。

Everything's alright.

别担心，老兄，你肯定没问题的。

No worries, mate, you're gonna be fine.

明白吗？

Okay?

It's a 100% definite.

还有一个说法是‘十拿九稳’。

And another one is it's a dead cert.

这是十拿九稳。

It's a dead cert.

‘Cert’是‘certainty’的缩写，意思是确定性。

Cert is short for certainty.

明白吗？

Okay?

‘十拿九稳’就是绝对有把握的事，稳操胜券，板上钉钉，你肯定能赢，这事儿十拿九稳。

A dead cert is something that is absolutely certain, a sure thing, It's in the bag, it's a dead cert, you're definitely going to win, it's a dead cert.

另一个说法是‘你肯定会赢’，‘肯定会’，当你用‘bound to’的时候，意思就是将来一定会发生。

Another expression is you're bound to win, you're bound to win, bound to, if you are bound to do something, it means that you're definitely going to do it in the future.

这是一种表达某事极有可能发生的说法。

So it's a way of expressing likelihood, like a great likelihood of something happening in the future.

你肯定会赢的，兄弟。

You're bound to win, mate.

来吧。

Come on.

大家都投了你。

Everyone's voted for you.

人人都听卢克的英语播客。

Everyone listens to Luke's English podcast.

你肯定能赢。

You're bound to win.

明白吗？

Okay?

对吧。

Right.

肯定能赢。

Bound to win.

是的。

Yes.

竞争很激烈。

Stiff competition.

竞争很激烈。

Stiff competition.

咱们都知道‘competition’和‘competitors’这两个词。

Well, we know the word competition and competitors.

‘Stiff competition’就是说竞争特别激烈。

Well, stiff competition means very tough competition.

好的。

Okay.

行吧。

Alright.

没问题。

Fine.

很激烈。

Stiff.

僵硬，就是和柔软相反的意思。

Stiff like the opposite of soft.

对。

Mhmm.

僵硬。

Stiff.

那你能想到有什么东西是僵硬的吗？

Now what can what what thing do you know of that is stiff?

我知道有些听众想法比较大胆，尤其是听卢克英语播客的听众，如果你听到‘僵硬’这个词，第一反应会是什么？

Now I know that some of my listeners have got dirty minds, you know, dirty sexual minds of the listen the average listener to Luke's English podcast, and you you probably if you think of something that's stiff, what is it?

你大概心里已经想到一样东西了。

Well, you're probably thinking of one thing.

我可不打算往那方面说。

I'm not gonna go there.

明白吗？

Okay?

这集不谈这个。

Not in this episode.

要说僵硬的东西，我实在想不出别的例子了，除了那个不合适的，但我不会提那个。

Something stiff would be actually, I really can't think of anything else other than the rude example, and I'm not gonna do the rude example.

如果你想不到我暗示的是哪个不合适的例子，那就别纠结了。

If you can't think of the if you can't if you don't know which rude thing I'm talking about here that I'm alluding to, then don't worry about it.

明白吗？

Okay?

我真的想不出还有别的什么能被称为僵硬的。

I really can't think of anything else that that could be described as stiff.

好了。

Alright.

行了。

Okay.

我接下来举的这个例子稍微好一点。

This is slightly better, this example that I'm gonna give you.

这比刚才那个有点暧昧的性相关例子也好不到哪儿去，你知道的。

It's not much better than the slightly dodgy sexual one I was referring to, you know.

如果你不明白我在说什么，可以给我发消息，我来给你详细解释。

If you don't know what I'm talking about, you can send me a message and I'll I'll I'll I'll explain it for you.

还有一样可能显得僵硬的东西，这也挺怪的，就是尸体，死掉的人体。

But another thing that could be stiff, this is also weird, could be a a corpse, like a dead body.

对。

Yeah.

就是你要是杀了人，得在尸体变硬之前把尸体搬走，这你懂的。

You know, when you know when you've killed someone and, you know, you need to move the body before the body goes stiff.

对。

Yeah.

这事儿你心里有数。

You know that.

谁没经历过这种事呢？

We all have experience of that, don't we?

没有。

No.

我们没有，卢克。

We don't, Luke.

没有。

No.

我们没有。

We don't.

没人知道。

No one knows.

不过，也许你们中有几个人知道。

Well, maybe some of you know.

我觉得可能有黑手党成员在听这个。

I I think I might have some mafia guys listening to this.

是的。

Yeah.

嘿。

Hey.

对。

Yeah.

我们明白你说的‘僵硬’是什么意思。

We we know what you mean by stiff.

当你说到‘嘿’的时候。

When you say, hey.

他是个僵硬的人。

He's a stiff.

你知道，意思是他的身体因为尸僵变得僵硬了。

You know, that means that he his his body's gone hard because of rigor mortis.

我们这集怎么就说到尸体和杀人这件事上了？

Where have we gone in this ep how did we end up talking about dead bodies and killing people?

这可不是《行尸走肉》。

It's not The Walking Dead.

明白吗？

Okay?

好了，卢克。

Alright, Luke.

咱们回到成功这个话题吧。

Get back to the topic of success.

谢谢。

Thank you.

行了。

Alright.

竞争可真激烈啊。

So stiff competition.

好吧。

Fine.

好的。

Okay.

每个人都有走运的时候。

Every dog has its day.

每个人都有走运的时候。

Every dog has its day.

这句话的意思是，不管是谁、什么事，比如每个公司、世上的每样东西，都会有自己的高光时刻。

And this expression refers to the fact that everything, every person, every, for example, every every company, every thing in the world has its moment of success.

好吧，每件事都会有巅峰期。

Alright, everything has a peak.

所以说，每条狗都有它得意的一天。

For example, every dog has its its day.

你可以想象，比如一只牧羊犬，总有一天它会状态爆棚，那是它一生中最出色的一天，身体和能力都达到顶峰。

So if you can imagine, like a sheep dog, it will probably have one day where it's absolutely brilliant, like its best day of its life, where it's at its peak of fitness.

那一天对它来说，简直完美到不行。

And it's it's just the the most glorious day for that dog.

但那天之后，狗就会慢慢变老，越来越老。

And then after that day, you know, the the dog starts to get older and whole and older and older.

是的，'Every dog has its day' 这句话的意思是，每样东西都会有一个巅峰时刻，一个特别出色的时刻。

Yeah, Every dog has its day, meaning that everything kind of has a peak moment, a moment where it's great.

所以这句话其实是在暗示，某样东西已经达到了它最好的状态，之后就只会走下坡路了。

So it's a it's a way of suggesting that something has already been at the best it can be, And after that, it's just gonna go downhill from there.

明白吗？

Okay?

'Every dog has its day' 这说法，其实是在说，也许我们已经看到它最精彩的部分了。

Every you know, well, every dog has its day is a way of suggesting that well, maybe we've seen the best from this.

对。

Yeah.

所以有时候我会担心，毕竟，每样东西都有它的高光时刻。

So sometimes I worry, well, you know, every dog has its day.

也许《Luke 的英语播客》已经到达顶峰了。

Maybe maybe Luke's English podcast has has peaked.

也许我们已经度过了属于我们的高光时刻。

Maybe we've had our our moment in the sun.

不可能。

No way.

最好的还在后头呢，各位。

The best is yet to come, ladies and gentlemen.

下一个表达是：我可能已经到顶了。

The the next expression is maybe I've peaked.

‘到顶’的意思就是达到最高点。

To peak means to reach the peak.

明白吗？

Okay?

就像山顶就是最高点。

Like the top of a mountain is the peak.

那是最高的地方。

It's the highest point.

明白吗？

Okay?

如果你达到了巅峰，或者说你巅峰了，意思就是你达到了最高点。

If you reach a peak, or if you peak, it means you reach your highest point.

之后，你就开始走下坡路了。

And then after that, you start to go down.

好吧，也许我已经到头了。

Alright, maybe I've peaked.

我还没到头呢。

I haven't peaked.

好了，还没到。

Okay, not yet.

下一个表达是：从神坛跌落，从神坛跌落。‘恩典之境’就像一种完美的状态，一种极佳的完美境界。

Next expression is, it'll be a fall from grace, a fall from grace, A state of grace is like a state of perfection of like wonderful perfection.

而‘从神坛跌落’呢，顾名思义，就是从那种状态摔了下来。

And a fall from grace is when you well, obviously, you fall down from that state.

明白吗？

Okay?

从高处跌落。

A fall from grace.

也许我今年直接栽了。

Maybe I'll just fall flat this year.

好吧，什么叫‘栽了’。

Okay, to fall flat.

这意思很明显吧？

Well, it's quite clear, isn't it?

就是说，不是达到某个辉煌的顶峰，而是直接摔在地上，彻底失败。

It just means that instead of, you know, peaking, instead of going up to reach some majestic peak, you just kind of fall flat on the ground to fall flat.

意思是，没成功。

Alright, meaning to be unsuccessful.

好，下一个。

Alright, next one.

我现在看到第13行了。

And I'm on to line 13 here.

也许这个播客只是昙花一现，昙花一现。

Perhaps this podcast is just a flash in the pan, A flash in the pan.

明白吧？

Okay?

如果某件事是昙花一现，那就意味着它只在短时间内成功过。

If something is a flash in the pan, it means it's only successful just for a short moment.

就这样，然后就彻底消失了。

That's it, then it's all gone.

好的。

Okay.

昙花一现。

A flash in the pan.

咱们看看。

Let's see.

我想不出有什么著名的东西是昙花一现的。

I can't think of any examples of famous things that are flash in the pan.

有时候，有些音乐人就是昙花一现，只火那么一阵子就没了。

Sometimes, you know, some musicians are a flash in the pan, like they just stick around for a little bit.

你还记得MC Hammer吗？

Do you remember MC Hammer?

你可能不记得了。

You probably don't.

有些人不记得，是因为你太年轻了。

Some of you don't because you're too young.

但九十年代初，MC Hammer可是风靡一时。

But back in the early nineties, MC Hammer was like the greatest thing.

你有印象吗？

Do remember that?

别碰我。

Can't touch this.

停。

Stop.

来聊聊语法吧。

Grammar time.

你还记得他吗？

Remember him?

MC Hammer。

MC Hammer.

碰不到我。

Can't touch this.

你懂的。

You know?

他就是那种昙花一现的艺人，对吧？

He was a bit of a flash in the pan, wasn't he?

因为他火了一阵子，后来就突然没了。

Because he was huge for a while and then just disappeared.

不过那首歌倒是留了下来，是不是？

Although the song stayed, didn't it?

这可是经典之作。

That is a classic.

碰不了这个。

You can't touch this.

挺巧妙的，对吧？

It's clever, isn't it?

你好好想想这句话。

Just think about that for a moment.

碰不了，碰不了这个。

You can't you can't touch this.

碰不了你。

You can't you.

对吧？

Right?

不是我，不是他，也不是她，就是你，你绝对碰不了这个。

Not me, not him, not her, you specifically, you cannot touch this.

就是这个。

This.

你看，这句歌词里藏着玄机。

See, there's the mystery in that lyric.

这个，他到底在说啥？

This, what's he referring to?

说实话，他大概是在夸自己牛吧。

Really, I suppose he's referring to his awesomeness.

明白吧？

Okay?

你碰不了这个，意思就是你根本够不着我有多厉害。

You can't touch this, meaning you can't lay a finger on how amazing I am.

我觉得他是在说自己跳舞厉害。

I think he's referring to the fact that he dances well.

你看过《你碰不了这个》的MV吗？

Did you ever see the video to you can't touch this?

还挺不错的。

It was pretty good.

他又是跳又是转，特别卖力。

He jumped around and spun around a lot.

又是跳又是转，还穿着超大的裤子。

Lots of jumping and spinning and big trousers.

那一刻，他说得没错。

And at that moment, he was right.

没人能比得上。

No one could touch that.

别人根本没法像MC Hammer那样，穿着大裤衩在白背景前转得那么带感。

No one else was able to wear big trousers and spin around on a white background quite as well as MC Hammer could.

没人能比得上。

No one could touch that.

明白吧？

Okay?

但说到底，这也就是一时风头罢了，对吧？

But ultimately, it was a bit of a flash in the pan, wasn't it?

因为我不确定有没有人真能超越他。

Because I don't know if someone managed to touch it.

也许有人后来出现，刚好就做到了。

Maybe someone just came along and just touched that.

结果MC Hammer一想，哦，原来这事儿还真能被超越啊。

And then after that was MC Hammer was like, oh, well, it turns out you can touch this.

那我干脆退场好了。

I'll just go away then, shall I?

然后MC Hammer就穿着那条大裤衩走了。

And then MC Hammer just left in his big trousers.

我现在真想知道，MC Hammer现在在干嘛。

I wonder what he's doing now, MC Hammer.

挺让人好奇的。

I wonder.

也许他现在在某家店里上班吧。

Maybe it would be I'm just maybe he's working in some kind of shop.

我觉得MC Hammer现在可能在某个博物馆工作。

You know, maybe he's in I imagine that MC Hammer is now working in a museum somewhere.

你知道的，就是在那种摆满珍贵展品、需要严密保护的博物馆里，他穿着西装站在那儿。

You know, in a museum where there are lots of precious items items that have to be protected, and he's standing there in a suit.

然后呢，孩子们和游客们凑得太近，他就得走过去，礼貌地说：不好意思。

And then, you know, children, tourists come up, and they start to move very close to the exhibitions, and he and he has to go up to them and says, excuse me.

抱歉。

Sorry.

您不能碰这个。

You you know, you can't touch this.

明白吗？

Okay?

不行。

No.

这东西非常珍贵。

It's it's very precious.

抱歉。

Sorry.

你不能碰那个。

You can't you can't touch that.

请别碰它。

Don't touch it, please.

不行。

No.

这东西也不能碰。

You can't touch this.

明白吗？

Okay?

这东西也不能碰。

You can't touch this.

如果他们一直碰，他就会说：别碰了。

And if they if they keep touching it, then he's like, okay, stop.

该动手了。

Hammer time.

然后他就直接开锤了。

And then he just hammers people.

你永远猜不到。

You never know.

你永远猜不到。

You never know.

天下之大，无奇不有。

It takes all sorts to make a world.

确实如此。

It really does.

对了，我刚才说到哪儿了？

So anyway, where was I?

别碰这个。

You can't touch this.

是啊，就是一时兴起。

Yes, a flash in the pan.

就到这儿了。

That's it.

也许这也就是一时兴起。

Maybe it's just a flash in the pan.

也许你真的说不准。

Maybe you never know.

下一个表达是‘全完蛋了’。

And the next expression is it's all going to the dogs.

如果某件事‘going to the dogs’，或者已经‘gone to the dogs’，那就是说它彻底不行了。

If something goes to the dogs or if it's gone to the dogs, it means that it's no good anymore.

明白吗？

Okay?

这就像食物坏了不能吃，直接扔给狗一样。

It's a bit like if if food is no good to to eat, just it goes to the dogs, you just throw it to the dogs.

我不明白为什么狗能吃坏掉的食物，人却不行。

I don't know why the dogs can handle bad food but humans can't.

我也不清楚。

I don't know.

我们得去问问别人。

We'll have to ask someone.

Snoop Doggy Dog。

Snoop doggy dog.

他应该知道，毕竟他是养狗的行家。

He'd probably know because he he's an expert on dogs.

从他的名字就能看出来。

You can tell because of his name.

Snoop Doggy Dog。

Snoop doggy dog.

不只是狗，是狗中之狗。

Not just a dog, but a doggy dog.

这比普通狗还要狗。

That's even more than a dog.

明白吧？

Okay?

想象一只特别像狗的狗。

Imagine a dog that's really like a dog.

你可以管它叫狗中之狗，对吧？

You could describe it as a doggy dog, couldn't you?

你知道的。

You know?

有些东西可能有点狗样。

Some things could be a bit doggy.

比如，Snoop 就有点狗样，他鼻子长，你要是换个角度看，还真有点像狗。

Like, I mean, Snoop looks a bit doggy because he's got like a long nose and he you know, if you look at him in a certain way, he looks a bit like a dog.

所以他长着一张狗脸，但他可是Snoop Dogg。

So he's got a kind of a doggy face, but he's Snoop doggy dog.

想象一只特别像狗的狗，那种最典型的狗。

Imagine a dog who's really like a dog, like the ultimate example of a dog.

你会说这不只是一只狗，简直就是狗中的狗。

You'd say that's not just a dog, it's like a doggy dog.

卢克，你在说什么呢？

Luke, what are you talking about?

咱们还是回到正题吧。

Let's get back to the point here.

那个说法是，一切都完蛋了。

The expression was it's all gone to the dogs.

已经一塌糊涂了。

It's no good anymore.

全都烂透了，对吧？

It's just gone to the dogs, hasn't it?

是的。

Yes.

下一个可能是我的计划会化为泡影。

Next one is perhaps my plans will just go up in smoke.

如果某件事化为泡影，意思就是它彻底失败了，对吧？

If something goes up in smoke, it means that it will it dies, doesn't it?

它就这么悄无声息地消失了，根本没实现。

It just kind of disappears into the atmosphere without ever being realized.

我想意思就是，你的想法飘走了。

I suppose it means that, you know, your ideas just float away.

它们被烧掉了。

They burn.

它们化为泡影。

They go up in smoke.

明白吗？

Okay?

如果你的计划泡汤了。

The if your your plans go up in smoke.

明白吗？

Alright?

好的。

Okay.

下一个表达是：我原本是领先者。

Next expression was, I was the front runner.

如果你是领先者，那就相当于处于领先位置。

If you're the front runner, it's like being the leader.

就像在比赛中领跑、占据首位。

It's like being in the lead in pole position.

领先者。

The front runner.

我在比赛中是领先者。

I was the front runner in the competition.

我遥遥领先于其他人。

I was ahead of the pack.

遥遥领先。

Ahead of the pack.

‘遥遥领先’就是说走在所有人的前面。

Ahead of the pack means in front of the pack.

‘其他人’指的是剩下的参赛者。

The pack meaning the other competitors.

明白吗？

Okay?

最后一切都很顺利。

And ultimately, everything came up roses.

‘一切都很顺利’就是说事情都朝着好的方向发展。

If everything comes up roses, it means it all, you know, it comes up in a good way.

最后一切都变好了。

Everything becomes good in the end.

一切都在变好，就是这个意思。

Everything's coming up roses means everything's getting better.

所有事情都在往好的方向发展。

It's all becoming positive.

一切都挺顺利的。

It's all looking good.

一切都顺顺利利的。

It's all coming up roses.

明白了吗？

Alright?

最后一切都很顺利，因为我赢了比赛。

Everything came up roses in the end because I won the competition.

我可不是简单赢了，我是完胜。

In fact, I didn't just win it, I smashed it.

所谓‘完胜’，就是赢得特别漂亮、特别出色。

Now if you smash something, it means you you, like, really win in spectacular fashion.

我简直表现得太出色了，这么说吧。

I absolutely smashed it, you could say.

我直接一棒子把球打出了球场。

I knocked the ball right out of the park.

在棒球里，如果你一棒把球打出了球场，这应该跟棒球有关，可能原本是美国的说法，但现在人人都在用。

If you knock the ball right out of the park I think this relates to baseball, which probably means it's originally an American expression, but everyone uses it.

我直接一棒子把球打出了球场。

I knocked the ball right out of the park.

你知道吗，在棒球里，要是你打出全垒打，砰的一下，球直接飞出球场外。

You know, in baseball, if you score a home run, bang, you hit the ball and it flies all the way out of the park.

据说，在棒球比赛中，能把球打飞出球场是件特别棒的事。

Apparently, that's a good thing in a game of baseball that you lose the ball.

干得漂亮。

Well done.

你知道的，这时候就得庆祝一下。

You know, you celebrate.

干得漂亮。

Well done.

干得漂亮。

Well done.

你把球打丢了。

You've lost the ball.

你直接把它打出了场外。

You knocked it all the way out of the park.

估计有人捡走了，就这么走掉了。

Someone's probably picked it up and just walked away with it.

干得漂亮。

Well done.

比赛结束了。

That's the end of the game.

对。

Yeah.

我真不太明白这个。

I don't really get that.

按理说，应该是你把球打得特别远才对。

Surely, it should be you you you hit the ball a long distance.

对。

Yes.

没错。

Certainly.

不过你至少把球留在了公园里，不然要是得跑到马路上去找球，那可真够烦的。

But well done for managing to keep it within the park because it would be annoying, wouldn't it, if if we had to venture out into the street to try and find the ball.

是的。

Yes.

好的。

Okay.

所以，把球打出公园，意思就是大获成功，干得特别漂亮。

So basically, in it to hit the ball out of the park means to, you know, succeed by a very large margin to succeed in spectacular fashion.

好的。

Okay.

明白了。

Okay.

下一个，是压倒性胜利。

Next one, it was a landslide victory.

压倒性胜利。

A landslide victory.

好的。

Okay.

这常用于描述政治选举。

This is often used in reference to elections in politics.

如果你赢了，而且是压倒性胜利，那就意味着你以绝对多数票获胜。

If you win by victory or if it was a landslide victory, it means it's a victory with a very large majority.

明白了吗？

Okay?

通常来说，山体滑坡是件坏事，对吧？

Now normally, a landslide is a bad thing, isn't it?

比如，下大雨的时候，山side的泥土整个塌下来，砸坏人家的房子，造成很大破坏，这显然是坏事，对吧？

You know, it's like when, for example, if it rains a lot and all the land on the side of a mountain goes and falls down the mountain, maybe crushing some people's houses causing lots of damage, that's a bad thing, isn't it?

山体滑坡。

A landslide.

但奇怪的是，‘压倒性胜利’反而是好事，这大概是为什么呢？

But apparently, a landslide victory is very good, Probably because why?

也许是因为你赢得太漂亮了，简直改变了整个局面。

Maybe because you you won so spectacularly that you you've changed the whole landscape.

是的。

Yeah.

就是这样。

There you go.

没错。

Right.

我接下来说的是，要不是你们有1017票投给我，我根本赢不了。

Next thing I said was if you hadn't voted for me to the tune of 1,017 votes, I wouldn't have won.

1017票啊，各位。

1,017 votes, ladies and gentlemen.

要不是你们有1017票投给我，我根本赢不了。

If you hadn't voted for me to the tune of 1,017 votes, I wouldn't have won.

对吧？

Right?

首先，这属于第三类条件句。

First of all, that's a third conditional.

我还没专门做过一期关于第三类条件句的内容。

I haven't I haven't done an episode on third conditionals.

以后可能会做一期。

I might do one at some point.

不过不管怎样，这里就有一个第三类条件句。

But anyway, here's a third conditional.

如果你没投我票，如果你没投我票，我就赢不了。

If you hadn't voted for me, if you hadn't voted for me, I wouldn't have won.

跟我一起说一遍，练练发音，我想让你听听这些助动词是怎么读的。

Just say that with me, just to practice saying it because I want you to hear the way that those auxiliary verbs are pronounced.

如果你没投我票，我就赢不了。

If you hadn't voted for me, I wouldn't have won.

我就赢不了。

I wouldn't have won.

你甚至可以说：我就赢不了。

You could even say I wouldn't have won.

对，wouldn't have 就是 would not have，我就赢不了。

Yeah, wouldn't have would not have wouldn't have won.

要是你没投我，我就赢不了。

I wouldn't have won if you hadn't voted for me.

如果你没有投票的话。

If you had not voted.

如果你没投票的话。

If you hadn't voted.

我根本赢不了。

I wouldn't have won.

清楚了吗？

Is that clear?

如果你没投票，我就赢不了。

If you hadn't voted, I wouldn't have won.

对吧？

Right?

你知道吗？

You know what?

如果你没投我，我就赢不了。

I wouldn't have won if you hadn't voted for me.

如果你个人没投我，我就赢不了。

If you personally hadn't voted for me, I wouldn't have won.

是的。

Yes.

另外那个表达方式是‘以1017票的规模’，后面跟一个数字，意思就是某件事发生了多少次，比如‘以1017票的规模’。

And the other expression in there is to the tune of 1,017 votes to the tune of and then a number means it's it's a way of referring to how many times something has happened to the tune of 1,017 votes.

如果你没给我投那1017票，我就赢不了。

If you hadn't voted for me to the tune of 1,017 votes, I wouldn't have won.

说‘以1017票的规模’听起来真怪。

It's weird that to the tune of 1,017 votes.

1017可不是什么曲调。

1,017 is not a tune.

这跟音乐没关系。

It's not music.

想象一下，要是放在爵士乐队里，那会怎么样？对了，你们有什么想听的曲子吗？

Imagine that in a jazz band, kind of, so do we have any do you have any requests?

你们点什么，我们就演什么。

We'll play anything for you.

是的

Yeah.

你能演奏一下1017吗？

Could you play 1,017?

你能按1017这个数来演奏吗？

Could you play to the tune of 1,017?

那些爵士乐手都懵了：啥？

The jazz guys were like, what?

你听说过1017吗？

Have you heard of 1,017?

这不像是七十年代迈尔斯·戴维斯的那首曲子吗？

Isn't that isn't that like a Miles Davis thing from the seventies?

不是，老兄。

No, man.

我觉得不是。

I don't think it is.

‘to the tune of 1,017’是什么意思？

What's the to the tune of 1,017?

其实这跟音乐没关系。

Well, it doesn't refer to music.

这只是用来表示一个数字的说法。

It's just a way of referring to a figure.

‘to the tune of 1,017’就是1,017次的意思。

The to the tune of 1,017 means 1,017 times.

明白了。

Okay.

接下来是，这是一个双赢的局面。

The next thing is it's a win win situation.

大家都听过这句话，对吧？

Everyone knows that phrase, don't they?

这是一个双赢的局面。

It's a win win situation.

意思是双方都能赢。

It means that both sides win.

明白吗？

Okay?

下一个是要把它当作跳板。

The next one was to use it as a springboard.

明白吗？

Okay?

我可以把这次成功当作跳板，吸引更多观众之类的。

I could use this success as a springboard to get more audience or something.

如果你把某件事当作跳板，就是用它来达成更大的目标。

If you use something as a springboard, you use it to achieve greater things.

体操里的跳板，就是那种你踩上去能帮你跳得更高的装置。

So in gymnastics, a springboard is one of those things that you jump on and it helps you to jump really high.

比如你做跳马动作——不是真马，是体操用的跳马器械——你会先跑起来，踩上跳板，那是个底下有弹簧的木板，一踩就弹起来，让你飞到半空。

For example, if you're doing some if you're doing a jump over over a horse, not a real horse, but, you know, a gymnastics horse, you would run along and jump on a springboard and it's like a wooden board with well well, springs underneath it and it goes and you jump in the air.

正常情况下不会这样，我的意思是，除非是在动画片里，不然大概就只是那样。

It doesn't normally go I mean, unless it's in a cartoon or something, it would probably just go like that.

但说实话，这可没你想象的那么有趣。

But frankly, that's not quite as fun as you know.

想象一下奥运会体操比赛的现场，我们就在这儿。

Imagine an Olympic gymnastics event and here we are.

这位呢，我不知道，叫约翰·史密斯。

Here is, I don't know, some guy John Smith.

不对。

No.

他的名字，咱们就说他是克里斯蒂安·贝尔吧，他本来是演员，现在却参加了奥运会。

His his let's just say, his his Christian Bale, he's normally an actor but he's in the Olympics.

他为了演好一个角色，深入研究到几乎成了体操高手。

He's he's researching a role and really thoroughly researching it to the point where he's actually become very good at gymnastics.

他之后会出演一部叫《蝙蝠侠7：体操时代》的电影。

He'll be appearing in a in a movie later on called Batman seven the gymnastics era.

是的

Yeah.

总之，这就是克里斯蒂安·贝尔，他正开始助跑。

Anyway, here he is Christian Bale and he's just making his run up.

哦，那一下真是帅极了。

Oh, and that was majestic for example.

好吧。

Alright.

这例子有点傻，但你应该能明白。

That's just kind of a stupid example, but you you get it.

把某件事当作跳板。

To use something as a springboard.

所以我可能会把这次胜利当作跳板。

So I you I might use this victory as a springboard.

现在呢，我就是拿它当跳板，想逗你笑一下——效果嘛，估计一般。

At the moment, I'm using it as a springboard to just try and make you laugh, probably with mixed results.

总之，这个播客正在飞速发展。

Anyway, next next phrase is the podcast is coming on in leaps and bounds.

它进展得特别快，这跟刚才我荒唐地提到的体操主题倒是很贴切。

It's coming on in leaps and bounds, which is quite appropriate to the gymnastics theme that I've just explored there in a ridiculous way.

这个播客正在飞速发展。

The podcast is coming on in leaps and bounds.

如果说某件事在飞速发展，那就是在迅速前进，取得巨大突破。

If something comes on in leaps and bounds, it comes on with great leaps, great movements forward and upwards.

也就是那些了不起的成就时刻。

So great moments of achievement.

是向前、向上的进步吗？

Moving up or forwards?

‘一跃’其实就是‘跳’的意思。

A leap is another word for a jump.

指的是那种大跨步的跳跃。

It means like a long jump.

你可以想象一下，面前有个大裂缝，比如你在山里走路，前面突然出现一道深不见底的裂口。

If you can imagine there's a big gap, like, let's say you're walking in the mountains, and in front of you, there's a big gap.

地上裂开一道巨大的口子，一直延伸到海里，你知道的，特别深。

The path there's a huge crack in the ground, and it goes all the way down to the sea, like, you know, really far.

明白吗？

Okay?

然后你面对这道裂缝，心想：我可不能回头。

And there's a gap there and you think, well, I'm I'm not gonna turn back.

我想继续往前走。

I wanna keep walking.

于是你纵身一跃，跳了过去。

So you leap over the gap.

明白吗？

Okay?

就是这种使劲往前跳、跳得特别远的跃动，这才叫一跃。

That kind you know, that kind of jump where you really jump far forwards, that's a leap.

而‘蹦跳’呢，再举个例子。

And a bound bounding is like, okay, another example.

假设你正从山坡上跑下来。

Let's say you're running down a hill.

比如说吧。

Let's say.

其实很难快速从山坡上跑下去，对吧？

Now it's difficult to run down a hill really quickly, isn't it?

你得快速迈开大步，这才是下坡跑的正确方式。

You have you have to kind of take these very long strides quickly, and that's how you run down a hill.

你要用蹦跳的方式往下跑。

You do it by bounding down.

如果你是在蹦跳，那就意味着你用很大的步幅向前跃进。

If you bound, it means you jump or run forwards with these very long steps.

蹦、蹦、蹦、蹦。

Boing boing boing boing.

明白吗？

Okay?

所以如果一个播客在飞速发展，意思就是它在大步向前推进。

So if the podcast is coming on in leaps and bounds, it means it's jumping forwards in big steps.

明白吗？

Okay?

它之所以成功，是因为以一种充满活力的方式不断前进。

So it's it's it's it's being successful because it's moving forwards in dynamic way.

好的。

Okay.

下一个短语。

Next phrase.

我得承认，我现在状态有点低落。

I must admit that I feel at a bit of a low ebb.

如果你处于低谷，'ebb' 是这么拼的：e-b-b。

If you are at a low ebb, ebb is spelled e double b.

如果你感到低落，或者觉得自己处于低谷，那就是有点沮丧的意思。

If you are at a low ebb or if you feel as a low ebb, it means you feel a bit depressed.

明白吗？

Okay?

就是感觉有点提不起劲。

It means you're feeling a bit down.

嘿，杰夫最近怎么样？

Hey, how's how's Jeff?

他现在状态不太好，正处在低谷期。

He's a bit he's at a bit of a low ebb at the moment.

是的。

Yeah.

他自从丢了工作之后，就一直没缓过来。

It's he's not very good ever since he lost his job.

是的。

Yeah.

他现在状态不太好。

He's at a bit of a low ebb.

明白了。

Okay.

就是这样。

There you go.

没错。

Right.

下一个短语是：获得回报。

Next one is to reap the benefits.

Reap，拼写是 r-e-a-p。

Reap, r e a p.

获得回报。

Reap the benefits.

你听说过的，种什么因，得什么果。

You know, they say you reap what you sow.
