51. 卢克回复你的邮件和问题

你最近怎么样？

How are you doing?

希望你很好。

I hope well.

顺便说一下，恭喜你去越南旅行。

By the way, congratulations for your travel to Vietnam.

谢谢。

Thanks.

我想这是一次了解另一种文化的绝佳学习经历。

I guess it was a fantastic learning experience to learn about another culture.

我叫Er，来自墨西哥。

My name is Er, and I'm from Mexico.

最近，我一直在听你的播客。

And recently, I've been listening to your podcast.

我觉得你是最棒的，因为你帮我学了英语，伦敦口音的英语，但我还需要你的帮助。

And I think you're the best because you helped me to learn English, London English, but I need your help.

因为如你所见，我的英语不太好，但我正在努力学习更多的英语。

Because as you can see, I'm not very well with English, but I'm trying to learn more and more English.

最近，我在使用动名词时遇到了一些困难。

And recently, I've had some troubles with the use of gerunds.

我认为所有说西班牙语的人都会对这类词有同样的困扰。

And I think all people who speak Spanish, we have the same trouble with these kinds of words.

例如，当你这样说时：I like playing football。

For example, when you say this, I like playing football.

为什么你要用动名词，而不是用动词play的原形？

Why do you use a gerund and not the base form of the verb play?

还有另一种情况我不太明白。

And there are another situation that I don't understand.

谢谢你的所有帮助。

Thanks for all.

希望你能回复我。

I hope you answer.

嗯，我想你问我的是，为什么英语语法就是英语语法？

Well, I guess what you're asking me there is, why is English grammar English grammar?

很遗憾，事实就是如此。

And, unfortunately, it just is.

事实上，当你遇到像‘like’这样的动词时，我们直接使用动名词形式或-ing形式。

The fact is when you get a verb like like, we just put it in the gerund form or the I n g form.

我喜欢踢足球。

I like playing football.

你可以说‘I like to play football’。

You can say I like to play football.

有些人说两者在含义上有细微差别，但你不能说‘I like play football’。

Some people say there's a slight difference in meaning, but you can't say I like play football.

不行。

No.

我喜欢踢足球。

I like playing football.

别问我为什么。

Don't ask me why.

就是这样。

It just is.

恐怕这就是语言的运作方式。

That's just the way that the language works, I'm afraid.

西班牙语也会是同样的情况。

It will be the same in Spanish.

你会有规则，但没有理由去解释这些规则。

You'll have rules, but no reason for having those rules.

这是另一个信息。

Here's another message.

我是一名香港的学生，正在读七年级，即将参加高级水平考试，考试结果将决定我能否被本地大学录取。

I am a Hong Kong student studying form seven and going to take the advanced level examination, which the result will be the determinant of whether I will be promoted to local universities.

我喜欢学习英语，很高兴发现你们的网站。

I like learning English, and I'm very excited to find your website.

你的播客太棒了，我感兴趣的是英式英语。

Your podcasts are so great that it's the British English that I'm interested in.

有了字幕，我能听懂90%以上的内容。

I could understand more than 90% of them with a transcript.

好的。

Okay.

我不该依赖字幕，但我想说的是，我的口语很差，不够流利。

Shouldn't be using the transcript, but what I want to say is my oral English is quite bad, not fluent.

我很难流畅地表达想法。

It's difficult for me to express ideas smoothly.

好吧，我得承认，我平时很少说英语。

Well, I have to confess that I don't speak English often.

除了我懒惰之外，身边也缺少能用英语交谈的人。

Besides my laziness, there is a lack of people to talk to in English.

我的AL英语考试口语部分占科目总分的18%。

The oral section of my English subject in AL exam consists of 18% of the subject mark.

这对我来说不是什么好消息。

It's not good news to me.

我怎么能更快地提高我的口语表达能力？

How can I improve my oral expression more quickly?

我的口语考试将在即将到来的五月举行。

My oral exam will be held in coming May.

老实说，我挺担心的。

I'm quite worried, frankly.

我期待听到你的建议。

I'm looking forward to hearing your advice.

嗯，天哪。

Well, oh my god.

你真的需要提高你的英语口语，对吧？

You really need to improve your oral English, don't you?

我的建议是，如果你没人可说，那你该怎么办？

What I'd recommend is if you don't have anyone to to speak to, what are you gonna do?

你可以尝试上网。

You could try going on the Internet.

找一些Skype服务，或者找愿意用英语和你聊天的人。

Try finding kind of Skype services or just people who are willing to chat to you in English.

尝试在网上的聊天室交朋友，试试看。

Try and make friends in chat rooms on the Internet, try that.

或者如果你没人可聊，至少可以试着对着麦克风自言自语，这也会很有帮助。

Or if you have no one to talk to, you could at least try and sort of create your own conversation by sort of talking into a microphone, that can be quite good.

或者你可以听这个播客，暂停后重复我说的话，并录下你的声音，然后回听自己的发音。

Or if you listen to this podcast and pause it and repeat what I'm saying and record your voice, you can listen to yourself.

这是很好的口语练习。

That's good speaking practice.

所以我觉得你可以这么做，但最好的方法还是尽量找个人聊天。

So I guess do that, but really the best way is to try and find someone to talk to.

听英语很有帮助。

Listening is good.

提高听力对口语也有帮助，我觉得。

Improving your listening helps your speaking as well, I'd say.

亲爱的卢克，首先，感谢你存在。

Dear Luke, first of all, thank you for existing.

不客气。

Well, you're welcome.

没问题。

It's no problem.

终于，一个很棒、实用又有趣的英语播客。

Finally, a great, useful, funny English podcast.

我在 iTunes 上发现了你的课程，并下载了所有能下载的内容，因为这对提高我的英语非常有帮助。

I discovered your lessons on iTunes and downloaded all the stuff I could because it's a very useful support to improve my English.

我是意大利人，住在米兰。

I'm Italian, and I live in Milan.

我很多年前在大学学过英语，但遗憾的是，我没有机会练习。

I studied English at university many years ago, but unfortunately, I can't practice it.

为了不忘记，我尽量通过听尽可能多的内容、阅读和看电视来保持更新。

And so in order not to forget it, I try to keep it updated by listening to everything I can, reading and watching TV.

请继续录制你的播客。

Please continue to record your podcast.

找到这么高质量的材料并不容易。

It's not easy to find a so well done material.

再见。

Goodbye.

这真是太好了，不是吗？

Well, that's very nice, isn't it?

这是一个通过利用一切资源来保持英语水平的绝佳例子。

And the good example of someone who is keeping their English up by using everything they can.

互联网上有这么多资源，这正是一个完美的例子。

There's so much stuff on the Internet, and that's a perfect example of it.

对。

Right.

好的。

Okay.

最近我一直在认真听你的播客。

I've been listening to your podcasts of late with great interest.

作为一个在伦敦生活和工作的中国女孩，从一位母语老师那里学到很多本地词汇真的很有帮助。

As a Chinese girl living and working in London, it's been really useful to learn lots of local vocabulary from a native teacher.

以前我只能找到美国的播客，那可能会造成误导，比如特蕾西·古德温。

When previously I could only find American podcasts which could be quite misleading, like Tracy Goodwin.

说实话，你关于特蕾西·古德温的那期播客太好笑了。

Seriously, your podcast about Tracy Goodwin was hilarious.

非常感谢你。

Well, thank you very much.

我在英国生活了六年多，感觉自己的英语似乎遇到了瓶颈，尤其是口语。

Having lived in The UK for more than six years, I feel somehow my English has reached its ceiling, in particular, my spoken English.

要提升到下一个水平真的很难。

It's very hard to get to the next level.

我非常希望能说得像母语者一样，因为我的工作需要良好的英语表达。

I would love to speak like a native speaker as it's important for my job to speak good English.

我只是想知道你能不能给我一些建议。

I was just wondering if you can give me any tips.

虽然我没有让你听到我的口语，你很难给我具体的建议，但我理解这一点。

Although I understand without you listening to my speaking, it would be hard for you to give me any specific advice.

所以，任何一般性的建议我都非常感激。

So anything in general would be much appreciated.

我想说，我真的很喜欢你的播客，它们听上去最清新、最愉快。

I just want to say I really like your podcasts, which are the most refreshing and pleasurable to listen to.

它们太棒了。

They're brilliant.

非常感谢你。

Well, thank you very much.

我想再重复一下我之前说过的话。

And I would just repeat the same thing that I said.

你需要抓住每一个机会去说、去使用你能接触到的一切资源来练习英语。

You just need to use every opportunity to talk and speak and use everything available to you to help practice your English.

我强烈建议多听，你可以进行大量的长期听力训练。

And I seriously recommend doing lots of listening, and you can do lots of long term listening.

我的意思是，不是那种高强度的听，比如一小时专心听某样东西。

And by that, I mean, not not listening intensely, listening to something for an hour, for example.

我认为这是一件非常重要的事。

I think that's a very important thing.

就去听收音机吧。

Just listen to the radio.

听BBC广播，或者听这个播客，只是去感受语言的节奏和韵律。

Listen to the BBC Radio or listen to this podcast and just pick up the rhythm, the music of the language.

一旦你捕捉到它的节奏，你就能跟上这种节奏。

Once you pick up on the rhythm of it, you'll catch the rhythm.

你会逐渐习惯听到真正的英式英语母语者自然地说英语。

You'll start to get used to hearing English spoken in a natural way by a real British English speaker.

下次你参与英语交流时，就不会感到惊讶了，因为我的声音会留在你的脑海中，你可能会学到我的发音。

And then you won't be surprised next time you are involved in English because my voice will be kind of in your head, and you might pick up my pronunciation.

我强烈建议你尝试重复我说的话。

I seriously recommend that you try and repeat things that I say.

这是很好的练习。

It's a good practice.

这是非常棒的练习。

It's very good practice.

对。

Right.

所以这里说的是好的。

So this is it says okay.

这是来自日本的一个。

This this is one from Japan.

谢谢上传新的播客。

Thanks for uploading the new podcast.

机器人3000太酷了。

Robot 3,000 is so cool.

我想买它。

I want to buy it.

真的。

Seriously.

Anyway，我来问你一个关于经典这个词的问题。

Anyway, let me ask you a question about a word classic.

这是一个形容词。

It's an adjective.

对吧？

Right?

但我们说古典音乐。

But we say classical music.

为什么不叫经典音乐？

Why not classic music?

嗯，'classic' 就是表示老但特别好，你可以这么理解。

Well, classic just means old and really good, you could say.

比如，这就是为什么我们说 'classic rock'（经典摇滚）。

Like, that's why we say classic rock music.

那是老的摇滚乐，而且特别棒。

It's old rock music, and it's really good.

像滚石乐队就是经典摇滚。

Like the Rolling Stones is classic rock.

但 'classical music' 是另一个形容词。

But classical music is another adjective.

它是个完全不同的词，指的是特定历史时期创作的、由交响乐团演奏的音乐，那就是古典音乐。

It's just a different adjective, and it means music from a particular time in history composed music, which is performed by an orchestra, that's classical music.

所以你可能会有 'classical rock'，这和 'classic rock' 不一样。

So you could have classical rock which is different to classic rock.

'classical rock' 可能是指由交响乐团演奏的摇滚乐，或者类似的东西。

Classical rock would be rock music performed by an orchestra or something like that perhaps.

就这样了。

So that's that.

我觉得是来自西班牙的。

One from Spain, I think.

好的。

Okay.

这挺有趣的。

This is quite funny.

这是另一位来自西班牙的老师。

This is another teacher from Spain.

我联系你是因爲我虽然多次尝试观看你的视频播客，但一直无法成功。

I'm just contacting you because although I've tried several times to watch some of your video podcasts, it's been impossible.

我不知道是爲什麼。

I have no idea why.

不过还是谢谢你分享。

Well, thanks for sharing anyway.

然后她又给我写信了，说：谢谢，卢克，但我觉得问题是我的扬声器没开。

And then she wrote to me again and she said, thanks, Luke, but I think the problem was my loudspeakers were off.

它们通常都是开着的，但我不确定。

They're usually on, but I don't know.

不过还是非常感谢。

Thanks a lot anyway.

这让我笑了。

That made me laugh.

哇。

Wow.

有太多消息了。

There's so many messages.

你好。

Hello.

你最近怎么样？

How have you been?

我的名字是，哦，差点告诉你我的名字了。

My name's my name's oh, nearly told you my name.

我叫……我是你的超级粉丝。

My name is I'm your huge fan.

很高兴你回来了。

I'm so happy you are back.

旅行怎么样？

How was the trip?

我对你的事略知一二，但你还不认识我。

I know about you a bit, but you don't know me.

让我自我介绍一下。

Let me introduce myself.

我是韩国人。

I'm Korean.

我25岁，是一名护士。

I'm 25 years old and a nurse.

我在医院工作，希望能在英国、澳大利亚或美国这样的外国医院工作。

I work for a hospital and want to work in a hospital in a foreign country such as England, Australia, or America.

所以我才学习英语。

That's why I study English.

我第一次听卢克的英语播客是在十月，是在YouTube上。

When I first listened to Luke's English podcast was in October on YouTube.

我已经听了一个月了。

I've been listening to it for a month.

我去澳大利亚学习英语。

I went to Australia to study English.

你是我见过的最棒的英语老师。

You are the greatest English teacher I've ever met.

不过，我其实还没真正见过你。

Well, I haven't actually met you.

但不管怎样，这个播客对我帮助特别大。

But anyway, it's so useful for me.

非常感谢。

Thank you so much.

继续教我们吧。

Keep teaching us.

祝你今天愉快。

Have a nice day.

再加一个微笑表情。

And a little smiley face.

再见。

Bye.

再见。

Bye.

再见。

Bye.

真暖心。

That's sweet.

这确实非常暖心。

That's very sweet indeed.

好的。

Okay.

哦，这是来自日本的。

Oh, here's one from Japan.

我一直在等下一集，等了好久好久。

I've been waiting for the next episode for a long, long time.

请回来吧。

Please come back.

好的。

Okay.

哦，这是我收到过的最喜欢的信息之一。

Oh, this is this is one of my favorite messages that I've ever had.

而且它说，我要念出这个名字。

And it says and I'm gonna say the name.

我来自阿尔及利亚，叫齐达内。

I'm Zidane from Algeria.

齐达内。

Zidane.

对吧？

Right?

齐达内。

Zidane.

齐内丁·齐达内。

Zinedine Zidane.

也许是那位著名的法国足球运动员，世界上最好的足球运动员之一。

Maybe the French footballer, very famous, one of the best footballers in the world.

齐内丁·齐达内，他原本是阿尔及利亚人。

Zinedine Zidane, who is originally from Algeria.

我只是猜他就是那个人，但他的名字确实叫齐达内。

I'm just guessing that that's who it is, but his name is Zidane.

他来自阿尔及利亚。

He's from Algeria.

有多少个来自阿尔及利亚的齐达内？

How many Zidanes from Algeria are there?

我想知道。

I wonder.

嗯， probably 很多。

Well, they're probably a lot.

很可能很多。

Probably a lot.

但不管怎样，上面写着：我是来自阿尔及利亚的齐丹。

But, anyway, it says, I'm Zidan from Algeria.

我37岁。

I'm 37.

我自学英语已经大约十年了，直到达到高级水平。

I've been learning English from my on my own for about ten years now until I got an advanced level.

然而，当我听母语者说话时，尤其是他们讲得很快的时候，我常常难以跟上。

However, I often struggle with listening when it comes to following what natives are saying, especially when speaking fast.

如果你有任何有用的建议，我会非常感激。

Should you have any useful tips, I'd be really grateful.

现在我实际上回复了那个，说好的。

Now I actually replied to that going, yeah.

对。

Right.

我不相信你。

I don't believe you.

来自阿尔及利亚的齐内丁·齐达内，别开玩笑了。

Zinedine Zidane from Algeria, come on.

但现在我想，也许那真的是个人，而不是个玩笑。

But now I think maybe that was a real person, and it wasn't a joke.

所以，齐达内，如果你在别处，我对之前发给你的邮件深表歉意，希望你还在听。

So, Zidane, if you're out there, I'm very sorry about the email I sent to you, and I hope you're still listening.

如果你在听的话，麻烦告诉我一声，我就当面跟你道个歉。

If you are, just let me know, and, you know, I'll just apologize to you.

对。

Right.

这是来自德国的另一条消息。

This is another message from Germany.

你的一个新听众。

One of your new listeners.

我已经听过第10集，你在那一集里谈到了英式和美式发音的区别。

Now I've already listened to episode 10 in which you talk about the differences between British and American pronunciation.

到目前为止，这个播客绝对是最好的。

So far so far, this podcast is absolutely the best.

我非常喜欢。

I love it.

真是太棒了。

It's just so great.

我已经听了大约五遍，还是听不腻。

I've listened to it about five times, and I still can't get enough of it.

如果你再发布类似的内容，我会非常高兴，因为这是我最喜欢的。

I'd be so glad if you posted something like this again because it's my favorite.

顺便说一下，你的美式口音听起来很棒。

And by the way, your American accent sounds great to me.

我非常喜欢听你的播客，我觉得每集之后，我的英语都有很大进步。

I really enjoy listening to your podcasts, and I think with every episode, my English improves a lot.

非常感谢你做这件事。

So thank you so much for doing this.

我很快还会再联系你。

You'll hear from me again soon.

哦，这真好。

Oh, that's nice.

对。

Right.

这是来自泰国的人。

This is someone from Thailand.

他说，我的英语有问题。

He says, I have a problem in English.

不。

No.

我想听英语和说英语，和外国人或者我的朋友交流。

I want I want to listen and speak English with foreigners or my friends.

尽管我尝试听音乐或看电影，但我还是无法提高听力和口语能力。

Although I try listening to music or watching movies, I can't get good skill of listening and speaking.

你有什么建议吗？我可以自己练习，变得专业吗？

Can you have an advice that I can practice with myself and become professional?

我会说，你需要大声朗读。

I would say you need to just read out loud.

所以找一本书或者文稿，然后朗读它。

So get a book or a transcript and read it.

大声读出来。

Read it out loud.

也许可以找一个像这样的播客的文本稿。

Maybe get, a transcript of a podcast like this one.

听我说话，然后试着像我一样说，录下自己的声音，努力模仿。

Listen to me speaking, and then try and speak like me, and record yourself, and try and copy it.

这就像表演。

It's like acting.

你想象自己在表演。

You imagine you're acting.

当你讲英语时，你就变成了另一个人。

When you speak English, you become a different person.

你变成了一个英国人，开始像他们一样行动，不只是用词，还包括你的态度。

You become an English person, and you start to act with like them, not just with the words, but with your attitude.

我其实不太会说日语。

I've I don't really speak Japanese.

我平时不太说话，但以前也说过一点，我的日本朋友说我的发音很好。

I don't speak much at all, but I used to speak a little bit, and my Japanese friends used to say I had good pronunciation.

对吧？

Right?

那只是因为我模仿了日本人。

And it's just because I copied Japanese people.

我当时就像在扮演一个日本人。

It was like I was acting as a Japanese person.

我其实不懂多少日语，但能模仿出不错的口音，因为你只是在模仿。

I didn't really know much Japanese, but I could do the accent well because you're just copying.

所以我觉得你应该试着模仿一个说英语的人。

So I think you should try and copy an English speaker.

是的。

Yeah.

我最后想说的是，我已经很久没写东西了。

And my last message here is it's been a long time since I didn't write.

我一度有些迷失，但我从未放弃你。

I've been kind of lost, but I haven't given up on you.

我依然在倾听。

I'm still listening.

我希望尽快收到你的消息，我依然期待你关于语调的播客。

I hope to know from you soon, and I'm still longing for the podcast on intonation.

希望你在越南度过了愉快的时光。

I hope you had a great time in Vietnam.

亲吻你，保拉。

Kisses Paula.

所以我念出了你的名字，保拉，因为我之前也念过，我觉得你不会介意。

So I've read your name out, Paula, because I've read your name out before, and I don't think you mind.

是的。

Yeah.

已经很久了，我依然没做关于语调的播客。

It's been a long time, and I still haven't done the podcast on intonation.

对此我感到很抱歉。

I'm sorry about that.

我能做些什么？

What can I do?

我正在处理这件事。

I'll I'll I'm working on it.

好的。

Okay.

我正在处理这件事，宝拉。

I'm working on it, Paula.

行了。

Alright.

太好了。

Cool.

但这还不是全部，因为除此之外，我还在网页的评论框里收到了很多评论。

Now that's not all because as well as that, there's all the there's all the comments that I've had on the web page, on the comment box.

我会快速浏览一下这些评论，因为它们都很简短。

And I'll just really quickly go through them because they're quite short.

第一个，我可以在这里说出名字。

One and I can say the names here.

我收到了来自日本的 Satoshi 的留言。

I've got Satoshi from Japan.

费尔南多来自巴西，这期关于感觉糟糕和生病的播客真是又棒又恶心。

Fernando from Brazil, nice and disgusting podcast about feeling bad and ill.

你还没给我做关于介词的那期播客呢。

You still owe me the podcast about prepositions.

别忘了你的巴西朋友。

Don't forget your Brazilian friend.

好吧，费尔南多，对不起。

Well, Fernando, I'm sorry.

我还没做关于介词的那期。

I haven't done the one about prepositions.

我正在准备做。

I'm getting round to it.

对不起。

I'm sorry.

这件事已经在议程上了。

It's on the agenda.

相信我。

Trust me.

好的。

Okay.

所以这个，我觉得非常有趣。

So this is this is, I think, very funny one.

我觉得这太好笑了。

I think this is hilarious.

我喜欢英国英语，卢克说，你真帅。

I love British English, says, Luke, you're handsome.

你的教学方式令人印象深刻又迷人。

你的英式英语真的很有魅力。

非常感谢你制作了这些精彩的播客。

Thank you so much for making these fabulous podcasts.

继续加油。

Keep up the good work.

嗯，非常感谢你。

Well, thank you very much.

我在这里与你们交流。

I'm here to communicate with you.

所以这是来自English Robot 3000的。

So one from english robot 3000.

麦迪逊。

你好。

Hi.

我是来自香港的你的粉丝。

I'm your fan from Hong Kong.

你的播客非常好。

Your podcast is very good.

我从你的播客中学到了很多东西。

I learned many things from your podcast.

我非常喜欢它。

I like it very much.

来自俄罗斯的安娜说，嗨，卢克。

Anna from Russia says, hi, Luke.

谢谢你的精彩播客。

Thanks for your wonderful podcasts.

最棒的是能听懂你说的每一个词。

The best thing about it is understanding every word you say.

它终于给了我勇气，在看电影时不再使用字幕。

It gave me the courage to get rid of subtitles when watching films at last.

而且，英语是一种优美的语言，不是吗？

Besides, English is a beautiful language, isn't it?

我喜欢它发音的方式。

I love the way it sounds.

期待下一集，既能学习英语，又能再次听到你的声音。

Looking forward to the next episode to learn some English and to hear your voice again.

非常好。

Very nice.

谢谢。

Thank you.

来自意大利的朱塞佩。

Giuseppe in Italy.

首先，祝贺你制作了如此出色的播客。

First of all, congratulations for your fantastic podcasts.

它们非常有用。

They're so useful.

对了，你是怎么得到英语机器人3000的？

By the way, how did you get the English Robot 3,000?

它多少钱？

How much does it cost?

它似乎对练习很有帮助。

It seems so useful to practice.

请告诉我们一下。

Let us know, please.

谢谢。

Thank you.

其实，英语机器人3000只是一个可以从网上下载的电脑程序，它有个不太雅观的名字。

Well, English Robot 3,000 is actually just a computer program, which you can download from the Internet, And it's got a kind of a rude name.

我不知道为什么，这个程序的名字很粗俗，叫Shitalker。

I don't know why, but the program is a rude name, and it's called Shitalker.

所以，你只要在谷歌搜索‘Shitalker下载’，就能找到它。

So if you just Google Shitalker download, you'll be able to get it.

显然，'shit'这个词是粗俗的。

So obviously, the word shit is a rude word.

这是一个脏话。

It's a swear word.

但如果你说'shit'，意思就是你在说废话。

But if you talk shit, it just means you talk nonsense.

所以有人开发了这个叫'Shit Talker'的程序，你可以免费下载，它会用不同的机器人声音说话。

So someone made this program called Shit Talker, and you can just download it for free, and it it speaks in different robot voices.

就是这样。

That's it.

但我希望你能想象，English Robot 3,000其实是一个真正的机器人。

But I'd like I'd like you to imagine that English robot 3,000 is actually a real robot.

事实上，他确实是一个真正的机器人，因为我把他设计成机器人，并且给他用了Shit Talker的电子语音。

And as a matter of fact, he is a real robot because I created him as a robot, and I've just given him the electronic voice from Shit Talkers.

所以，它实际上是一个真正的机器人。

So it is a real robot, actually.

来自撒丁岛的马uro。

Mauro from Sardinia.

嗨，卢克。

Hi, Luke.

我几天前发现了这个页面。

I discovered this page a few days ago.

我非常喜欢你的播客。

I'm really into your podcasts.

它们非常有趣且清晰，但我注意到你已经很久没有发布新播客了。

They're very interesting and clear, but it's a long time that you haven't been posting any new podcast I see.

请不要放弃我们。

Please don't leave us.

meanwhile，我会继续听以前的课程。

In the meanwhile, I'll listen to the old lessons.

嗯，我现在正在制作一个新的。

Well, I'm doing a new one now.

所以，这就是了。

So here it is.

来自俄罗斯的萨莎。

Sasha from Russia.

嗨，卢克。

Hi, Luke.

我是伦敦英语学校的学员。

I'm your student from the London School of English.

萨莎，我记得你，那个俄罗斯女孩。

Sasha, I remember you, Russian girl.

那已经是很久以前的事了，我想。

That's quite a long time ago, I think.

所以我想，你以前在伦敦英语学校下午的班上过我的课。

So I I think I think you were in my afternoon class at the London School of English a while ago.

我见过太多学生了。

I've met so many students.

如果你是我以前的学生，并且正在听这段话，那就太好了。

It would be nice if you're one of my ex students and you're listening to this.

如果你给我发条消息，听到以前学生的消息总是很愉快的。

If you send me a message of some kind, it's always nice to hear from ex students.

在这份工作中，我已经见过成千上万的人了。

I've I've met so many thousands of people in this job.

说实话，我教英语已经差不多九年了，对吧？

Seriously, I've been teaching English for about nine years, right?

而且我想，平均来说，我每周会认识大约十位新学员，因为我在学校的有些课程为期两周。

And I probably let's say on average I meet a new let's say 10 new people every week because some of my courses at school are two weeks long.

我以前在日本教的一些课只有四十分钟，每天要接触二十人甚至更多。

Some of the lessons I used to teach in Japan were forty minutes long, and I used to meet sort of 20 people or more every day.

所以总的来说，从我开始教书以来，我大概每周都会认识十位新的人。

So on balance, I'd say I've probably met 10 new people a week since I started.

一年有五十二周。

There's fifty two weeks in a year.

假设我每年教大约四十五周。

Let's say I teach for about forty five of those.

我们来算一下。

So let's see.

10乘以45，就是一年四百五十人。

10 times 45, that's four hundred and fifty four hundred and fifty in in a year.

450乘以9年，也就是4050人。

450 times nine four four fifty times nine years makes 4,050 people.

4050人。

4,050.

所以，是的，数量相当多。

So, yeah, quite quite a lot.

但大多数学生，我离开后就再也没有他们的消息了。

But most of them I've never heard of since I left them.

所以能收到一些老学生的回音，我会非常开心。

So it'd be lovely to hear back from some of my old students.

谢谢你发来的消息，萨莎。

So thanks for the message, Sasha.

你真是太贴心了。

That's very sweet of you.

谢谢。

Thank you.

来自日本的京介。

Kyousuke from Japan.

Hi, Luke.

我是一名日本商人，正在学习英语。

哇。

Wow.

很好。

Great.

我沉迷于你的播客。

听到很快会上传更多播客，我松了一口气。

I was relieved to hear that more more podcasts will be uploaded soon.

我期待收听你的最新播客。

I'm looking forward to listening to your newest podcast.

你真是太好了。

Well, that's very nice of you.

谢谢你，Kyosuke。

这是我的最后一条消息，最新的那条。

And this is this is the last message I've had, the latest one.

这是，嗨，Luke。

我来自伊拉克巴格达。

I'm from Iraq, Baghdad.

哇。

Wow.

能有巴格达的听众真是太好了。

It's it's great to have listeners in Baghdad.

这真的很好。

That's really good.

我几乎听完了所有播客，非常喜欢。

I heard almost all the podcasts, and I love them.

谢谢。

Thank you.

但我有个问题：我能听懂你的口音，但听BBC的时候就听不懂他们的口音。

But I have a problem, which is I can understand your accent, but when I'm listening to the BBC, I don't understand their accent.

此外，我获得了政府的奖学金，要去英国攻读硕士学位。

Also, I have a scholarship from my government to study an MSc in The UK.

我希望能到你们学校学习，因为我必须取得雅思6.5分。

I wish I can study in your school because I must get IELTS score 6.5.

意外的是，我发现了这个非常有用的网站。

Unexpectedly, I found this fantastic website which is really useful.

这真是太好了，穆罕默德。

Well, that's very nice of you, Mohammed.

谢谢。

Thank you.

而且，是的，你可以去我的学校，或者访问网站 ww.londonschool.com。

And, yeah, you can go to my school or check out the websites, ww.londonschool.com.

你可以在那里找到所有相关网站的信息。

You can find out about all the websites there.

就这样了。

So that's it.

这就是本期播客的结尾。

That's the end of the that's the end of this podcast episode.
