263. Past, Present & Future - Verb Tenses

完全没有空闲时间。

No no free time.

而且，当我不工作的时候，基本上累得不行，需要休息。

Also, when I when I wasn't working, I was basically knackered, and I needed to rest.

累得不行，你记得吧，就是精疲力尽的意思。

Knackered, you'll remember, means exhausted.

所以不工作的时候，我就是精疲力尽。

So when I wasn't working, I was exhausted.

没有时间和精力做播客。

No time or energy for podcasting.

顺便说一句，我不是在找借口。

By the way, I'm not I'm not making excuses.

我不是在为自己一个月没做播客找借口。

I'm not making excuses for the fact that I haven't podcasted for a month.

我知道这听起来像是在找借口。

I know that it sounds like I'm making excuses.

不是的。

I'm not.

我是在解释为什么我消失了一个月。

I'm I'm explaining why I disappeared for a month.

而且我也想说明，我不喜欢让Luke的英语播客长时间停更。

And I'm also trying to make it clear that I don't like to just stop Luke's English podcast for any long period of time.

理想情况下，我会定期上传播客，你知道的，至少每周一次。

In an ideal world, I'd be uploading podcasts regularly, you know, like, once a week at at the very least.

但偶尔，我就是得完全停下来。

But every now and then, I just have to stop completely.

我……

I...

我相信你能理解。

I'm sure that you understand.

所以，总之，我流感好了。

So, anyway, I got over the flu.

我好了。

I got over it.

对吧？

Okay?

但后来那疯狂的一周工作之后，它又有点回来了。

But then after that crazy week of work, it kind of came back.

感冒又回来了，我现在还有点没好。

The cold came back, and I've sort of still got it now.

不过这次回来得不严重。

But it didn't come back too badly.

主要就是有点头冷，你知道的，就是鼻子堵、喉咙不舒服那些。

It came back mainly as just a bit of a head cold, you know, just just the usual blocked up nose and throat and all that sort of thing.

我意识到你们有些人听这个可能会想，你没事吧？

I realized that some of you listening to this might be thinking, are you alright?

你看起来……

You look...

你得照顾好自己。

You gotta look after yourself.

我知道。

I know.

好吗？

Okay?

我知道。

I know.

顺便说一下，我……

By the way, as I...

这部分我已经说过了。

I've I've already said this bit.

我不是在抱怨。

I'm not complaining.

我保证。

I promise.

我只是在解释我为什么消失，以及为什么我现在这样……

I'm just explaining why I disappeared and why I'm being...

而且我在坦诚相待。

And I'm being transparent.

明白吗？

Okay?

基本上，就是想给你一些背景信息。

Basically, just trying to give you some context.

我觉得如果你更清楚地了解我的处境，就能更好地理解我的服务。

I think if you understand my situation more clearly, it can help you understand, my service better.

明白吗？

Okay?

还有……

Also...

而这可能是我一开始就应该说的。

And this is probably the thing I should have started with.

还有，我结婚了。

Also, I got married.

没错。

That's right.

我结婚了。

I got married.

不过只是第一部分，因为严格来说，我的婚礼分两部分。

Part one, anyway, because, technically, my wedding is in two parts.

我知道这听起来有点贪心。

I know that sounds greedy.

就像，我只是……

Like, I'm just...

你知道，难道一场还不够……

You know, Isn't one in a...

难道一场婚礼还不够吗，卢克？

Isn't one wedding enough, Luke?

不。

No.

我想要两场，拜托。

I want two, please.

这有点复杂。

It's a bit complicated.

原本计划只办一场婚礼，后来就变成必须办两场了。

Originally, the plan was to have one wedding, and then it became necessary to have two.

好吧。

Okay.

让我试着解释一下。

Let me try and explain.

我住在法国，娶了个法国姑娘。

I live in France, married a French girl.

所以，通常来说，在法国，你……

And so, normally, in France, you...

哪里……

Where...

你们是在市政厅结婚的。

You you get married at the town hall.

对吧？

Okay?

市政厅。

The town hall.

在那里结婚，然后另外再办一个仪式。

You get married there, and then you have a ceremony separately.

所以实际上有两件事。

So you actually have two things.

结婚……

The marriage...

法律上的婚姻在市政厅办，然后仪式，不管是宗教的还是非宗教的，都在别的地方私下举行。

The legal marriage in a town hall, and then the ceremony, whether it's religious or nonreligious or whatever, is done privately somewhere else.

明白吗？

Okay?

在英国，通常是在同一个场合，同一个活动里完成。

In The UK, it tends to be in the same, the same event.

你结婚，要么在教堂，要么在登记处，或者你知道的，寺庙之类的，法律上的和仪式上的婚礼是同时进行的，在同一个活动里，但在法国不是这样。

You get married, either in a church or in a a registry office or, you know, a temple or or whatever, and you actually do the legal and, ceremonial marriage at the same time in the same event, not in France.

所以人们通常的做法是，先在市政厅登记结婚，然后在教堂或者他们市政厅里，或者其他合适的地方办婚礼。

So what people normally do is they get married in their town hall, and then they get a wedding in the church in their town hall or in some other, you know, appropriate place.

我们想做的，是在法国南部结婚，因为我们找到了一个很美的地方，一个绝对迷人的环境，我们觉得那会是和我们最亲近的朋友和家人庆祝婚礼的完美地点。

What we wanted to do was get married in the South Of France because we found a beautiful place, an absolutely gorgeous setting, which we thought would be a perfect place to celebrate our marriage with our closest friends and our our family members.

好的。

Okay.

现在我们想做的，是在那里结婚。

Now what we wanted to do was get married down there.

所以我们问了当地的市政厅。

So we asked the local town hall.

虽然我们不住在那儿，但我们觉得，你知道，市政厅应该会好心让我们在那儿结婚。

Now we don't live there, but we thought that, you know, the town hall would be nice enough to let us get married there.

所以我们联系了他们，非常礼貌地问他们，你们愿意让我们在你们的市政厅结婚吗？因为我们觉得你们那儿很美，等等等等。

So we contacted them, and we asked them very politely, would you be happy for us to get married in your town hall because we think that your area is beautiful, etcetera, etcetera.

结果他们基本上说，不行。

And they basically said, no.

就是说，这不可能。

I mean, it's not possible.

所以那个选择就没了。

So that was, that option was closed off.

但我们还是爱上了那个地方，我们七月份还是要在那儿结婚。

And yet, we had fallen in love with this place where we still are gonna get married, in July.

我们已经爱上了那个地方，而且已经想象过在那儿举行我们梦幻般的仪式。

So we'd fallen in love with that place, and we'd already, you know, visualized how we could have our fantastic ceremony there.

所以我们还是要在那儿结婚。

So we're still getting married down there.

我们还是会去那边举行仪式，但法律上的婚姻登记部分在法国南部是办不了的。

We're still having the ceremony down there, but then the legal, part of the marriage was not possible in the South Of France.

然后我们想，既然那边不行，而且我家里有些亲戚还得大老远跑一趟去南部看我们结婚，那不如把法律登记的部分放在伦敦办？

And then we thought, well, since we can't do it down there and since we're asking, you know, certain members of my family to to travel quite a long distance to get married, to see us get married in the South, why don't we do the legal part of the marriage in London?

太好了。

Yay.

所以我们就这么定了，而且原因有好几个，包括我的一些……

And so that's what we decided to do, and and there are various reasons, including the fact that some of my...

我家里有些亲戚身体不太好，没法一路折腾到法国南部去。

Some of the members of my family, are not healthy enough to be able to travel all the way to the South Of France.

所以我们想在英国办点什么，这样他们也能来跟我们一起庆祝。

So we wanted to do something in The UK so that they could come and join the celebration with us.

最后，我们决定办两场婚礼。

And so in the end, we we decided on two weddings.

法国南部那场是大的。

The one in the South Of France is the big one.

伦敦那场是小型的。

The one in London was the little one.

本来是这么打算的，但你知道，真的很难只办一场小型婚礼。

That was the plan, but, you know, it's hard to to just have a little wedding, really.

最后总会想搞点特别的，结果就越办越大了。

You end up wanting to do special things, and it becomes bigger and bigger.

我们请的人不多。

We had a small number of people.

大概十五个人左右。

There were about 15 people.

但我们……

But we...

在伦敦登记处订好之后，我们还想着安排一顿特别好的晚餐，找一家特别好的餐厅。

After we'd, you know, done the the booking at the registry office in London, we also wanted to plan a really nice dinner in a in a really good restaurant.

所以我们就得做大量的准备工作，联系好多好多家餐厅，找地方、跟他们谈，安排场地、菜单、选酒、特制蛋糕，还有各种乱七八糟的事情。

So we had to do lots and lots of planning and contacting loads and loads of restaurants, finding places, negotiating with them, arranging for locations and menus and wine choices and special cake and all this kind of stuff.

然后还有那个预订，那个……

And then there was the the booking, the the...

比如说，试着找地方、订餐厅之后我们晚上出去玩的地方。

Like, trying to find and trying to book a night out for us afterwards after the restaurant.

总之，事情越搞越大。

Anyway, it became bigger and bigger and bigger.

最后我们还得找地方订周五晚上的晚餐，然后周六是婚礼，还有所有那些你得安排的事情。

We ended up having having to find a a place to book dinner on the the Friday night, then there was the wedding and all of the other things that you have to organize for that on the Saturday.

然后周日，我们想组织一个早午餐，邀请所有参加婚礼的人，所以最后变成了要安排整个周末。

And then the Sunday, we wanted to organize a brunch with, all the people who'd been at the wedding, so it ended up being a whole weekend that we had to organize.

如果你结过婚，或者你认识结过婚的人，你就会知道，这其实要安排很多事情。

And if you've ever been married or if if you know someone who's been married, you'll know that it's actually rather a lot to organize.

所以生病了，工作又特别忙，还要筹备婚礼。

So got sick, got very busy at work, had a wedding to organize.

所以所有这些事情，真的解释了我为什么有一阵子没做播客了。

And so all of those things really explain why I haven't done a podcast for a while.

说到婚礼，当然，那真是太棒了，我真的很开心。

On the subject of the wedding, obviously, it was amazing, and I'm really happy.

我们俩都很开心。

Both of us are.

那真是非常特别，非常棒。

It was fantastic and very special.

不过这一集里我不会讲太多关于婚礼的事。

And I'm not talking about it that much in this episode.

我可以深入讲……

I could go into...

我可以专门做一集关于婚姻和婚礼的节目，教你们所有关于欧洲或英式婚礼的语言和文化知识。

I could do an episode about marriages and weddings and teach you all of the language and cultural information that you need to know about sort of European or British English weddings.

我确实打算以后这么做，但不是在这一集。

And I do intend to do that in the future, but not in this episode.

好吗？

Okay?

所以就是这样。

So there you go.

有时候生活就是完全排得满满的。

Sometimes life is just completely full.

记住，准备、录制、上传和发布《卢克的英语播客》这一整个过程，总共需要花我几个小时的时间。

And remember that it takes a few hours for me to it takes a few hours in total to prepare, record, upload, and distribute episodes of Luke's English podcast.

有时候我确实抽不出三四个小时。

And sometimes I don't have three or four hours, available to me.

有时候这段时间变得非常宝贵，所以我就不得不暂时放下《卢克的英语播客》。

Sometimes that time becomes very precious, and it just means that I have to leave Luke's English podcast for a little bit.

但我一直等着回来，现在，我们回来了。

But I'm always I'm always waiting to come back, and and here we are.

我们回来了，对吧？

We're back, aren't we?

是的。

Yes.

是的，我们回来了。

We are.

那么现在有什么新鲜事吗？

So what's going on at the moment?

这部分我要聊聊当下。

This is the bit where I talk about the present.

好吗？

Okay?

当下。

The present.

现在有什么新鲜事吗？

What's going on at the moment?

嗯，我还在慢慢从流感中恢复过来。

Well, I'm still getting over the flu, kind of.

我还有点流鼻涕。

I've still got a bit of a runny nose.

顺便说一下，如果你对描述健康、生病、流感症状以及常见病这类语言感兴趣的话，可以去找卢克英语播客的另一期节目。

By the way, if you're interested in, like, language to describe health, being sick, and the symptoms of flu and common things like that, then you can go and find another episode of Luke's English podcast.

是哪一期来着？

Which one is it?

到底是哪一期呢？

Which which one is it?

是哪一期？

Which one is it?

我也在想这个问题。

That's what I'm wondering.

好。

Okay.

我现在正在谷歌搜索。

I'm just now googling it.

感觉不舒服，播客。

Feeling ill, podcast.

卢克的。

Luke's.

我搜的就是这个。

That's what I'm googling.

我猜那肯定就是……

I bet that's what's...

它肯定会……

It's gonna...

对。

Yes.

找到了。

There it is.

第40集，健康和生病，短语动词和表达。

Episode 40, health and feeling ill, phrasal verbs and expressions.

你可以回去看看那一集。

You can go back and check that one out.

还有……

There's also...

我记得在日本有个叫“生病”的节目，里面也讲了一些关于生病、健康词汇和症状之类的内容。

I think it's one one two sick in Japan, which also has some language about feeling sick and health vocabulary and symptoms and stuff.

是叫“生病”吗？

Is it one one two?

我记不清了。

I can't remember.

总之，那期节目叫“在日本生病”。

Anyway, the episode is called sick in Japan.

你可以直接去看看。

You can just go through.

大概有一百一十到一百二十集左右吧。

It's about one one to 120, something like that.

好的。

Alright.

那现在情况怎么样？

So what's going on at the moment?

我流感还没完全好，但基本上感觉还行。

I'm still getting over the flu, but I'm basically feeling okay.

你大概能从我的声音里听出来一点。

You can probably hear it in my voice a little bit.

这周我在监考。

I'm doing exams this week.

也就是说，我出了一些考题。

That means that I've written exams.

考试是一个半小时的，是给我大学的学生考的。

They're one and a half hour exams, and I'm giving them to my university students.

所以这周我所有的课都……

So all my classes this week are in...

基本上都是学生在坐着考试，考我出的题。

Are basically taken up by my students sitting down, taking the exam, which I've written.

这意味着，如果你长期收听Luke的英语播客，至少听了十八个月左右，你就会知道，学生们考完试后，我就得批改所有试卷。

And that means, as you know, if you're a long term listener to Luke's English podcast, if you've been listening for at least eighteen months or something, you'll know that once the exams have been done by the students, then I have all the marking to do.

这意味着我大概要批改200到250份试卷。

And that means I'm gonna have, like, 200 to 250 exam papers to mark.

我得非常仔细地批改。

I have to mark them very carefully.

每份试卷学生要花九十分钟完成。

Each one takes them takes them ninety minutes to complete.

所以批改量非常大，而且相当单调。

So that's a hell of a lot of marking to do, and it's quite monotonous work.

我得坐在那里，泡一大杯茶，然后一份一份地看，不停地批改，改啊改啊改啊，一直改。

I have to sit there with a big cup of tea, and I just go through the papers, and I mark them and mark and mark and mark and mark, and I keep marking.

这活儿又费劲又耗时。

And it's it's laborious and time consuming.

所以我的意思就是，我接下来要忙着做这件事。

So what I mean there is that I will be I will be involved in doing that.

所以我最近很忙，接下来的几周也会很忙。

So I've had a busy time, and I'm going to have a busy time in in the next few weeks.

我还要处理其他课程，你知道的，所有备课、教学之类的事情，包括教小孩、青少年、成人，还有大学那边的工作。

I'm dealing with the other courses that I'm teaching, you know, all the planning and and and all the teaching and stuff of the other courses that I'm doing, teaching kids, teaching teenagers, teaching adults, as well as doing the university stuff.

我很享受现在白天变长和阳光充足的日子，因为最近我们调整了时钟。

I'm enjoying the extra hours of daylight and the sunshine that we're having because recently, we changed the clocks.

我不知道你那边是不是也调整时钟，因为不是……

I don't know if you change the clocks where where you are because not...

不是每个国家都调整时钟，但在欧洲我们会。

You don't change the clocks in every country, but in Europe, we do.

所以基本上，在春天开始的时候，通常是三月末、四月初，差不多复活节那会儿，时钟会调整，这意味着……

And so, basically, at the beginning of spring, usually end of March, beginning of April, that kind of time around Easter, the clocks change, and that means that...

嗯，是往前调还是往后调呢？

Well, do they go forwards or do they go back?

我永远搞不清楚。

I can never know.

这全都是……

It's all...

我从来都搞不清楚。

I never know.

总是让人困惑。

It's always confusing.

好吧，让我想想。

Well, let's see.

现在白天开始的时候，我们有了更多的阳光。

We've got more daylight at the beginning of the day now.

所以这意味着时钟往回拨了，对吧？

So that means that the clocks went back, doesn't it?

不对。

No.

时钟是往前拨的。

The clocks went forwards.

时钟往前拨了，所以现在白天开始的时候天更亮了。

The clocks went forwards, and so it's lighter at the beginning of the day now.

那白天结束的时候是不是也更亮呢？

And is it lighter at the end of the day?

我有点糊涂了。

I'm confused.

哦，我本该查一下这个的。

Oh, I should have looked into this.

总之，重点是咱们改了时钟，白天的时间更长了。

Anyway, the point is that we changed the clocks, and we've got more daylight hours.

当然，你知道，因为现在的季节，白天本来就长一些，再加上时钟也改了。

Obviously, you know, we've got more daylight hours anyway because of the the season that we're in, but also because the clock's changed.

晚上我们有了更多的光线。

We've got more light in the evenings.

就是这样。

That's it.

我们晚上有更多的光线了。

We've got more light in the evenings.

所以白天变长了。

So the day is longer.

我们得到更多的阳光，这很棒。

We get more sunshine, and it's great.

所以我真的很享受现在多出来的白天和阳光。

So I'm really enjoying the extra hours of daylight and sunshine that we're having.

你知道，我就是在补充维生素D，或者不管是什么，你从晒太阳中得到的那些东西。

You know, I'm just topping up on vitamin d or or whatever it is that you get from exposing yourself to the sunshine.

我非常享受婚姻生活。

I'm enjoying married life very much.

不过说实话，这和平时生活没什么两样，真的。

Although, to be honest, it's not that different to normal life, to be honest.

我刚才说了多少次“说实话”？

How many times did I say, to be honest there?

我想是三次。

Three times, I think.

所以我很享受婚姻生活，虽然和平时没什么两样，但还是很特别的。

So I'm enjoying married life, although it's not really that different from normal life, but it's special.

感觉很好。

It's nice.

我的在线教学同事……

My online teaching colleague...

顺便说一下，这是给加比·华莱士的致敬。

So this is this is a a shout out to Gabby Wallace, by the way.

我的在线教学同事，加比·华莱士，她做《Go Natural English》，还做过……

My online teaching colleague, Gabby Wallace, of Go Natural English, and she also does...

或者说她以前做过《All Ears English》。

Or she used to do, All Ears English.

她之前来过这个播客。

She's been on the podcast before.

她正在Kickstarter上发起一个众筹活动，为她想写的一本书筹集资金。

She's running a Kickstarter campaign to fund a book that she'd like to write.

所以Gabby Wallace想写一本书，一本为你、为英语学习者写的书。

So Gabby Wallace wants to write a book, a book for you, for learners of English.

但为了资助书的写作，我想也包括出版，她需要一些钱，所以她在Kickstarter上发起了一个活动。

But in order to fund the the writing of the book and, I suppose, the publication of it too, she needs some cash, so she's running a campaign on Kickstarter.

Kickstarter基本上是一个众筹平台。

Kickstarter is basically a crowdfunding platform.

如果你有一个想做的项目，你需要钱才能真正去做。

So if you've got a project that you want to do, you you need money to actually do it.

所以你要做的就是向你周围的人社区请求捐款，钱进来后，帮助他们启动和资助这个项目。

And so what you do is you ask the community of people around you to contribute money, and the money goes in, and it helps them start the project and fund the project.

然后这个项目就能真正做出来，变成现实。

And then and then the project can actually be made, and then it becomes a reality.

比如，如果你是一个独立电影制作人，你需要几千英镑来资助你的电影，因为你需要支付摄像机、剪辑、许可等费用，你可以发起一个Kickstarter活动。

So, for example, if you're a, an independent filmmaker and you need, you know, a few thousand pounds to help finance your movie because you need to pay for the cameras and the editing and the licensing and stuff like that, you can start a Kickstarter campaign.

如果人们喜欢这个想法，喜欢这个项目，他们就可以给你一些钱。

And, if people like the idea that they like the project, they can give you some money.

如果……

And if...

当你筹到足够的钱，当你筹到项目所需的资金时，砰，你就可以开始了。

And when you achieve the amount of money, when you when you raise the amount of money you need to finance your project, boom, you can start.

然后项目就真正实现并创造出来了。

And then the project is is actually realized and created.

所以加比·华莱士正在做Kickstarter众筹活动，因为她想为英语学习者写一本书。

So Gabby Wallace is doing a Kickstarter campaign because she'd like to write a book for learners of English.

我希望你能考虑为这个Kickstarter活动贡献一份力量。

And I would like you to, alright, consider contributing to the Kickstarter campaign.

你只需要去teacherluke.co.uk。

So you can just go to teacherluke.co.uk.

找到这一集的页面。

Find the page for this episode.

那里有一个链接，写着点击这里为Kickstarter活动捐款。

There is a link that says click here to contribute to the Kickstarter campaign.

或者，你也可以直接找到Gabby Wallace，在Go Natural English上。

Alternatively, you can just find Gabby Wallace at go natural English.

我觉得你只要在谷歌上搜Go Natural English，就能找到，而且我肯定那里会有Kickstarter活动的链接。

I think if you just Google go natural English, then you'll find it, and I'm sure there'll be a link to the Kickstarter campaign there.

等她筹到足够的钱，她就会出版这本书。

When she gets enough money, she'll publish the book.

这本书看起来不错，而且这也是我很久以来一直想做的事情。

It looks good, and this is something that I've been intending to do for ages as well.

我一直想……

I've been intending...

事实上，我已经开始写我的书了。

And in fact, I've already started writing my book.

如果她的方法行得通，那我也很有可能会这么做。

If it works for her, then there's a good chance it'll be it'll be something that I will do too.

我那句说得对吗？

Did I get that sentence right?

如果对她有效的话……

If it works for her...

如果对她有效的话……

If it works for her...

就是这样。

That's it.

如果对她有效，那我也很可能会这么做。

If it works for her, there's a good chance I'll be doing it too.

明白吗？

Okay?

所以，这是一种全新的、非常酷的英语学习材料出版模式。

So, this is a new and very cool model of publishing learning English materials.

而且要让这个模式运作起来，我们需要大家的支持，不仅是老师和内容创作者的支持，也需要你们这些学习者的支持。

And for it to work, we need everyone's support, not just the support of the teachers and the content producers, but also we need the support from, you, the learners too.

好吗？

Okay?

所以如果你想支持Gabby Wallace的新书，那就去参与她的Kickstarter众筹活动吧。

So if you want to support Gabby Wallace with her book, then just, contribute to her Kickstarter campaign.

现在我想说，别忘了Audible...

At this point, I would just like to say, don't forget that Audible...

Audible的优惠仍然有效，仍然可以享受...

The Audible offer still stands, still avail of...

发生了什么？

What has happened?

我好像突然不会说话了。

I seem to have lost the ability to speak.

好的。

Okay.

也许我应该先深呼吸一下。

Maybe I should just breathe.

好的。

Okay.

深呼吸就好。

Just breathe.

呼吸很重要，因为如果你不呼吸，你就活不了。

Breathing is important because if you don't breathe, then you don't live.

而活着很重要。

And living is important.

如果你想活着，活着可是相当重要的一环。

If you wanna be alive, living is is quite an important aspect of that.

我觉得呼吸其实就是实现这个目标的一种方式。

And I think breathing is really just a a way to achieving that.

你不觉得吗？

Don't you don't you think?

我觉得……

I think...

我相信你肯定这么想的。

I'm sure you do.

非常简单。

It's it's very simple.

你可以在我的网站上找到关于这个有声书优惠的所有细节和常见问题解答。

You can find all the details and the frequently asked questions about this audiobook offer on my website.

我下载了《头脑中的革命》，就是那本我有时提到的披头士的书，大概有十个小时长，非常精彩。

I downloaded Revolution in the Head, that Beatles book that I talk about sometimes, and it was about ten hours long, and it was brilliant.

我很喜欢听。

I loved listening to it.

它是由一些非常棒的演员朗读的，我想我会再听一遍。

It was read out by some really great actors, and I think I'm gonna do it again.

我想我实际上会正常注册audible.com，我会付钱，然后下载那些书，因为我喜欢有声书。

I think I'm actually gonna sign up with audible.com normally, and I'll pay the money, and I'll download the books because I love audiobooks.

还有很多其他我想读的书，包括一本叫雷·米尔斯的人写的。

And there are loads of others out there that I want to read, including one by a man called Ray Mears.

雷·米尔斯。

Ray Mears.

我应该专门做一期关于他的播客，因为他值得。

And I I should do a whole podcast about him because he's worth it.

他真的很厉害。

He's brilliant.

他基本上是来自英国的生存专家，以前在BBC做电视节目，我每个星期天晚上都很喜欢看。

He's basically a survival expert from The UK, and he used to make television programs on the BBC that I used to love watching every Sunday evening.

他写了一本书，而且可以以有声书的形式下载。

And he wrote a book, and it's available as an order order...

就是那种Audible的有声书下载。

Audible audiobook download.

现在还有什么别的事情呢？

What else is going on at the moment?

就这些了。

That's it.

好的。

Okay.

接下来几周或几个月有什么计划呢？

What's coming up over the next few weeks and months?

接下来我要说说未来的计划。

This is the bit where I talk about the future.

好吗？

Okay?

未来。

The future.

接下来几周和几个月有什么安排？

What's coming up over the next few weeks and months?

嗯，婚礼第二场，也就是大家说的重头戏，定在七月，很快就到了。

Well, wedding part two, the big one, as it's been called, is planned for July, and that's fast approaching.

所以我觉得，那种忙乱又要开始了，各种筹备啊什么的。

So the the madness is gonna start up again soon, I expect, all the planning and all that sort of thing.

我们还有很多事情要做。

We've got loads of things that still need to be done.

有不少事情还没搞定，需要收尾。

There are quite a lot there are quite a lot of loose ends that need to be tied up.

说到底，我们真的很期待能和亲朋好友一起庆祝，而且我们也在祈祷天气能好一点。

Ultimately, we're just really looking forward to being able to celebrate with our friends and family, and we are keeping our fingers crossed for good weather.

而且你们可以期待卢克的英语播客会出一期婚礼主题的节目，因为这会是我接下来花很多时间想的事情。

And you can expect a wedding themed episode of Luke's English podcast at some point because it will be something I'm gonna be spending a lot of time thinking about.

我也有一些朋友最近刚结婚，所以跟他们聊聊可能会挺有意思的。

I've got friends who were recently married as well, so it might be interesting to talk to them.

比如莎拉·唐纳利，她上过这个播客，她是美国人。

For example, Sarah Donnelly, who's been on the podcast, she's American.

她也嫁给了一个法国人……

She also married a French person...

这次是嫁给了一个法国男人。

French a French guy in this case.

所以比较一下不同文化里的不同婚礼可能会挺有意思的。

So it could be quite interesting to compare different sort of different weddings in different cultures.

我会有很多试卷要批改，就像我之前提到的，那些考试，这意味着接下来的几周我可能又没太多时间了。

I'm going to have loads of marking to do, as I've already mentioned, all those exams, which means that I might not have much time in the next few weeks again.

明白了吗？

Okay?

所以如果我突然安静下来，那就是原因。

So if I do go quiet a little bit, that's why.

我就是坐在那里批改作业，喝茶，当然还有吃饼干。

I'm just sitting there marking, drinking tea, and eating biscuits, of course.

大学学期快结束了，到时候我就能喘口气了。

The end of the university term is in sight, and then I'll have a bit more breathing space.

现在日程安排得很紧，或者如果你来自美国或世界其他地方，你会说schedule，因为大多数人都这么说。

At the moment, everything's a bit tight in the schedule or schedule if you're from The United States Of America or most of the other parts of the world because most people say schedule.

所以现在的日程安排非常紧，但大学学期快结束了。

So the the the schedule the schedule is very tight at the moment, but the end of the university term is in sight.

等学期结束，我就能有更多喘息的空间了。

And then when that arrives, I will have more breathing space.

问题是，我的工作计划还没定下来。

The thing is my working plans are still undecided.

比如说，明年，我……

Like, for next year, I...

我还不完全确定，我会工作多少。

I'm not completely sure, how much I will be working.

比如，我会不会放弃其中一份工作，以便专注于我的线上项目？

For example, will I give up on one of my jobs to allow me to focus on my online projects?

我会放弃哪份工作呢？

Which job will I give up?

会是大学那份吗？

Will it be the university?

会是英国文化协会那份吗？

Will it be the British Council?

这要看情况。

It depends.

我需要和老板们谈谈。

I need to speak to bosses.

我需要有……

I need to have...

你知道的，我得谈谈。

You know, I need to talk.

我得弄清楚我工作的所有细节，看看哪个选择更好。

I need to find out about all of the details about my work and see which option is better.

这些都是私人的事情。

This is all personal stuff.

你需要知道这些吗？

Do you need to know this?

不过，也许你需要了解一下背景。

Anyway, maybe you need to know context.

重点是现在非常忙。

The point is very busy now.

以后可能就不忙了。

I might not be busy later.

顺便说一句，我意识到有时候这些播客节目有点以自我为中心。

By the way, I realized that sometimes these podcast episodes are a little bit self centered.

就是，你知道的，我在跟你讲我自己的事。

It's just, you know, me telling you about me.

说实话，我不太喜欢这样。

And I don't really like that, to be honest.

但有时候，为了让大家了解Luke英语播客的背景，我不得不解释一下我生活中的情况，这样你们就能清楚知道你们会得到什么内容、什么时候能得到，也会明白为什么会有安静的时刻等等。

But sometimes it's just necessary to explain what's going on in my life as a way of contextualizing Luke's English podcast so that you know exactly what you're getting and when you're getting it, and you'll know why there are moments of of quietness and so on.

明白吗？

Okay?

但别忘了，这期节目里有很多语言学习的内容。

But don't forget this episode's got loads of language in it.

所以，你知道的，这挺好的。

So, you know, that's that's that's nice.

春假马上就要到了。

The spring holidays are just around the corner.

大学要放假两周，所以我接下来会有一些休息时间。

The university will be closing for a couple of weeks, so I've got some time off coming up.

但我主要会忙着批改作业，所以可能没机会录太多期节目。

But I'll be focusing on marking mainly, so I might not get a chance to do many episodes.

我的婚前单身派对的准备工作已经开始了。

Preparations for my stag do are underway.

那什么是婚前单身派对呢？

Now what's a stag do?

美式英语里，他们叫它“bachelor party”。

In in American English, they call it a bachelor party.

在英国，我们叫它“stag party”或者“stag do”。

In The UK, we call it a stag party or a stag do.

Stag，你知道，就是雄鹿。

A stag, you know, it's like a male deer.

就是那种在森林里看到的四条腿的动物，比如像小鹿斑比那样的。

You know, those four legged animals that you find in the forest, like, for example, Bambi.

小鹿斑比是鹿。

Bambi is a deer.

嗯，公鹿，非常强壮、骄傲的动物，头上长着大角，那就是雄鹿。

Well, a male deer, very powerful, proud animal with big, antlers on its head, that's a stag.

明白了吗？

Okay?

别问我为什么我们叫它雄鹿派对或雄鹿聚会，但我们就是这么叫的。

Don't ask me why we call it a stag do or a stag party, but we do.

所以当……

So when...

每当你要结婚的时候，如果你是男人，你就得办一个雄鹿派对。

Whenever you get married, you have to have a stag party if you're if you're a man.

我的意思是，如果你是新郎，大多数时候，你会和朋友们办一个大派对。

I mean, if you're the the the groom, then most of the time, you'll have a a big party with your friends.

而且通常完全疯狂，会有很多很多喝酒和疯狂的事情发生。

And it's usually completely insane with lots and lots of drinking and crazy stuff happening.

而且，通常新郎或者准新郎会被各种方式羞辱，经常是在公开场合。

And, usually, the stag or the the the husband to be usually gets humiliated in various ways, often publicly.

比如，我的表兄弟们……

For example, my cousins...

我要不要讲讲表兄弟们的单身派对？

Am I gonna talk about the cousins' stag do?

还有不久前我去参加的一个朋友的单身派对，那个朋友被迫打扮成滑稽马。

And a friend's stag do that I went to not long ago, a friend, he was forced to dress as a a pantomime horse.

他的一个朋友带来了滑稽马的服装。

So one of one of his friends brought a pantomime horse outfit.

滑稽马就是那种，你知道的，就是搞笑的马。

A pantomime horse is like, you know, just a comedy horse.

然后他穿上了……

And he dressed...

他不得不……

He had to...

其实，是我和他一起。

In fact, it was me and him.

对吧？

Okay?

他们把我拉进去了，因为喜剧马需要两个人。

They dragged me into it as well because you need two people for a for a comedy horse.

所以我在前面，他在后面。

So I was the front, and he was at the back.

你可以想象，他得弯着腰当马的后半部分，然后我们到处走。

So if you could imagine, he had to bend over and be the back end of the horse, and we walked around.

我们当时在……

We were on...

基本上，那个单身派对是在地中海某个度假胜地办的。

Basically, the stag do was in a holiday resort somewhere in the Mediterranean.

然后我们就在那个度假村里走来走去，酒吧和餐厅里都是喝酒的人，你知道的，还有度假的家庭和情侣。

And, we walked around this, holiday resort with people in bars and restaurants drinking, you know, families and couples on holiday.

然后就是我们穿着喜剧马的服装到处走。

And then it was us walking around in a comedy horse.

虽然有点尴尬，但这对单身派对来说很典型。

It was embarrassing, but it's typical for stag parties or stag dos.

所以我的单身派对准备工作正在进行中。

So preparations for my stag do are underway.

计划是住在乡下一栋漂亮的房子里，就在英国乡下。

The plan is to stay in a nice house in the countryside, in the British countryside.

我们不会飞往伊比萨岛或类似的地方。

We're not flying to, you know, Ibiza or anything like that.

不会的。

No.

我们会住在乡下的冰屋里，周围有很多大自然。

We're gonna stay in an ice house in the countryside with lots of nature around.

我们会做一些户外活动和冒险项目，而且毫无疑问，我们会在当地的酒吧里度过不少时间。

We're gonna do some outdoor activities and adventure stuff, and no doubt, we will spend a good deal of time in the local pub.

这事由我哥哥负责。

My brother is in charge of this.

他负责整个单身派对的策划，所以我只需要等着看会有什么安排。

He's project managing the stag do, so I will just have to wait and see what's in store for me.

我希望不会太尴尬或丢人，但好像传统就是这样。

And I hope that it's not gonna be too embarrassing or humiliating, but that seems to be the tradition.

另外，我五月份要和我妻子一起去看“便利之王”的演出。

In other news, I'm seeing the Kings of Convenience with my wife in May.

你知道“便利之王”吗？

Do you know the Kings of Convenience?

他们是一个组合。

They're they're a group.

他们是来自挪威的二人组，两位吉他手兼歌手。他们的音乐非常优美、精彩、巧妙，而且积极向上，感人至深，总之就是很棒。

They're a duo, two guitar player singers from Norway, And their music is just beautiful and brilliant and clever and and positive and moving and all that stuff.

他们是我最……

They're my...

我最喜欢的乐队之一，还有我老婆……

One of my favorite bands and my wife...

我简直不敢相信我会叫她老婆，但她现在确实是我老婆了。

And I can't believe I'm calling her my wife, but she is my wife now.

听起来好成熟，对吧？

It sounds so grown up, doesn't it?

这是不是意味着我现在得像大人一样行事了？

Does that mean that I have to act like an adult now?

我得表现得像个成熟、理智的成年人吗？

Do I have to act like a grown up, an adult, reasonable person?

嗯，不用。

Well, no.

我觉得这什么都不代表。

I don't think it means anything.

我想这代表什么由我自己决定，对吧？

I suppose it means whatever I want it to mean, doesn't it?

因为这是我的生活。

Because it's my life.

总之，我们五月份要去看便利之王乐队。

Anyway, so we're going to see the kings of convenience in May.

我简直不敢相信我终于能见到他们了，因为他们可能是我们最喜欢的乐队，而且他们很少巡演。

I can't believe that I'm finally seeing them because they're probably our favorite group, and they don't tour very much.

他们偶尔巡演，而且不常一起演出。

They tour occasionally, and they don't play together very much.

但我们设法在巴黎赶上了他们，所以我们五月份要去看他们，那一定会很棒。

But we managed to catch them in Paris, And so we're gonna go and see them in May, and it's gonna be great.

我日程里安排了几场演出，喜剧演出。

I've got a few gigs in the diary, comedy gigs.

我想创作一些新素材。

I'd like to work on some new material.

这个我们得再看看。

We'll have to see about that.

巴黎……

The par...

如果你接下来几个月在巴黎，说不定能来看我用英语表演脱口秀。

If you're in Paris over the next few months, then you might be able to come and see me perform stand up comedy in English.

直接联系我就行。

Just get in touch with me.

在teacherluke.co.uk上给我留言，或者通过Facebook或Twitter联系我。

Leave me a comment on teacher Luke dot co dot u k or or get in touch with me on Facebook or Twitter.

如果你在城里，我很可能会演出，因为我现在……

And if you're in town, I may well be performing because as I...

因为我现在时间多了点，所以会多安排一些演出。

As I've got a little bit more time now, I will be doing some more gigs.

就是这样。

So there you go.

巴黎的英语脱口秀圈一直在发展壮大，真的很棒。

The the Paris stand up scene in English is developing more and more all the time, and it's really cool.

总有一天，我会实现自己的梦想，办一场个人的独角戏，但那需要花时间做宣传和推广什么的。

One of these days, I will fulfill my dream of having my own one man show, but that requires time for marketing and publicizing and stuff.

所以我现在还没到那一步，但我希望有一天能做到。

So I'm not quite there yet, but I would like to do that one day.

其实，我很想做两件事，我觉得这真的很酷。

Really, I'd love to do two things, and I think this is really cool.

我很想做两件事。

I'd love to do two things.

其中一件是打磨出一个扎实的一小时脱口秀节目，一个可以定期表演的一小时喜剧秀。

One of them is to is to develop a strong one hour show of written material, a one hour comedy show that I can perform regularly.

另外，我还想做另一件事，就是定期在观众面前录制播客节目。

And, also, I'd like to do another thing where I regularly record podcast episodes live in front of an audience.

想象一下，在观众面前做《卢克英语播客》，现场有观众，你能听到他们对我说的话的反应。

You imagine that doing Luke's English podcast, in front of an audience with people there, and you could hear the audience responding to what I'm saying.

而且我还可以在台上采访其他人。

And I could do interviews with other people on stage.

我还可以做即兴表演之类的。

I could do improvised stuff and so on.

那会很酷，对吧？

That would be cool, wouldn't it?

我知道在网上也能做这种事，但我觉得真的在房间里，和人们在一起，在那个空间里做，感觉特别不一样，那是一个活动。

Now I know that it's possible to do that kind of thing online, but I think there's something special about actually doing it there in the room with people with you in the room, in the space, and it's it's an event.

而且你能感受到空气中的氛围，会有疯狂的事情发生，你得当场应对，这需要即兴发挥之类的。

And it's you can feel the atmosphere in the air and, crazy things happen, and you have to respond to them there and then, and it involves improvisation and stuff like that.

我很想这么做。

I'd love to do that.

谁知道呢？

So who knows?

也许如果我能把自己整理好，我就能实现这个愿望？

Maybe if I can get my stuff together, I can I can make that happen?

经过这么多努力，我当然希望能把更多时间投入到Luke的英语播客上，以及相关的产品和项目上，不只是做新节目，还要制作其他内容，给你提供其他方式提升英语的机会。

After all this work, I'm hoping to devote more time to Luke's English podcast, of course, and Luke's English podcast related products and projects, not just doing new episodes, but also producing other content with a view to giving you opportunities to improve your English in other ways.

一些对你我都好的酷方法。

Cool ways that will be beneficial to both you and me.

我说的是像写我自己的书，我已经开始写了，还有将来可能提供其他东西，比如你可以访问的其他内容、在线课程，各种其他东西。

I'm talking about things like writing my own book, which I have already started, and also maybe offering other stuff in the future like some other content that you can can access, an online course, all kinds of other things.

我想在2012年实现的事情之一，2012年？

One of the things I want to achieve in 2012, 2012?

2000年……

2000 of...

我要回到2012年，在那里实现一些事情，然后再回到2015年，我想通过Luke的英语播客实现很多事情。

I'm gonna go back to 2012 and achieve some things then and then come back to 2015, and I want to achieve a number of things with Luke's English podcast.

今年对我来说是Luke的英语播客之年，我打算把这个服务提升到一个新的水平。

This year is the year of Luke's English podcast for me, and it's it's it's my intention to try and push this service to another level.

夏天快到了。

Summer is on its way.

是的。

Yep.

夏天快到了。

Summer is on its way.

其实，我们这里已经有点夏天的感觉了，也该到时候了，因为你知道，大家都喜欢阳光。

In fact, we're having a little taste of it here, and it's about time, it's about time because, you know, everyone loves the sunshine.

好几部新的《星球大战》电影正在筹备中。

A bunch of new Star Wars movies are in the pipeline.

其实，第一部预计今年十二月上映，我尽量不让自己被炒作冲昏头脑。

In fact, the first one is due out this December, and I'm trying not to get too drawn into the hype.

你知道那种大片的炒作，电影快上映的时候，到处都是预告片和广告，电视上还有各种采访。

You know the hype whenever big movies come out, you see lots of trailers and advertising for it, and there's interviews on TV.

然后整个事情就被炒得特别热，每个人都说这部电影会有多棒。

And it's all it all gets very hyped up, and everyone's saying how great it's gonna be.

然后你期望值太高，结果反而觉得失望。

And then you're so over expectant that it becomes an anticlimax.

你去电影院看了，然后就想，哦，好吧，没有我期待的那么好。

You see it in the cinema, and you go, oh, well, it wasn't as good as I expected.

所以这都是因为炒作。

So that's because of the hype.

对吧？

Okay?

所以别信那些炒作。

So don't believe the hype.

我尽量不被炒作带进去。

I'm trying not to be drawn into the hype.

我就想不带太多期待地去看这部电影，而且我祈祷新的星球大战电影会好看。

I just want to see the film without too much expectation, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the new Star Wars film will be good.

因为，你知道，这对我来说很重要。

Because, you know, it's important to me.

可能对你来说不重要。

It might not be important to you.

如果你是长期的LEPster听众，注意我说LEPster的方式。

If you're a long term LEPster LEPster, note the way I said LEPster.

顺便说一下，LEPPER，你知道那个昵称吗？

By the way, the LEPPER, you know that nickname?

咱们慢慢不用它了。

Let's let's phase that out.

好吗？

Okay?

咱们别再用那个了，因为它和麻风病有关，那显然是一种悲剧性的疾病。

Let's let's stop using that one because of the connection to leprosy, which is obviously a tragic disease.

我只是想提醒你，如果你关心那些患有麻风病的人的困境……

I just would like to remind you that if you care about, the plight of of people who suffer from laps...

麻风病，那么你可以捐款给lepradot……

Leprosy, then you can, donate to, lepradot...

是dentlepra.org吗？

Is it dentlepra.org?

等一下。

Hold on a minute.

不是。

No.

是 www.lepra，就是 lepra.org.uk，这是一个帮助麻风病患者的慈善机构。

It's, www.lepra, that's lepra,.org.uk, which is a charity that helps to support people who suffer from leprosy.

明白了吗？

Okay?

所以我不打算详细讲 LEPRA 是怎么成为收听 Luke 英语播客的人的昵称的。

So I'm not gonna go into the whole story about how LEPRA became a nickname for people who listen to Luke's English podcast.

我现在不打算讲那个，但我想做的是逐步淘汰那个昵称，然后我们用你其他选项中的任何一个来替代它……

I'm not gonna go into that now, but, what I'd like to do is just phase out that nickname, and let's replace it with any of the other choices that you...

有 lepster、plep、lepaholic、leppish、lepanese。

There's lepster, plep, lepaholic, leppish, lepanese.

有各种各样的选择。

There's all sorts of different things.

Leprechaun。

Leprechaun.

对了，我刚才在说什么来着？

Anyway, what was I talking about?

我刚才在说某件事。

I was talking about something.

哦，对。

Oh, yeah.

就是这个。

That's it.

如果你是LEPster，也就是Luke英语播客的忍者粉丝，那你很可能也是《星球大战》的粉丝，对吧？

If you're a LEPster, a a Luke's English podcast, a ninja, then you'd probably be a Star Wars fan as well, won't you?

我想应该是的。

I imagine so.

你看。

Look.

下一部漫威大片马上就要上映了。

The next big Marvel movie is about to be released.
