87. 六个习语和六个短语动词（与Oli一起）

比如三星Galaxy S2，显然可能更好。

Like the the Samsung Galaxy s two apparently is is possibly even better.

这是三星的说法吗？

Is that according to Samsung?

三星。

Samsung.

是的。

Yeah.

我的韩国学生。

My Korean student.

韩国的三星。

Korean Samsung.

不是。

No.

这只是因为我阅读了大量关于这两款手持设备的在线评测。

It's just from reading extensive online reviews of the two handheld devices.

这两款移动设备。

The two mobile devices.

但是

But

我想，你知道，我觉得苹果公司只是在那里赚钱。

I suppose, you know, I guess Apple are just up there, you know, earning money.

他们只是对批评一笑置之，不是吗？

They just laugh off the criticism, don't they?

他们可能并不

They probably doesn't

人们经常取笑他们，但他们真的非常自信

Well, people take the mickey out of them, they're really quite quite confident

是的。

Yeah.

对自己的产品充满信心，只要看看销售数据就行了。

In their products just to kind of say, well, look at the sales figures.

你知道的，

You know,

你们尽管取笑我们好了，但归根结底，是的，我们卖出了更多的iPhone，不是吗？

you can make you can take the mickey out of us as much as you like, but at the end of the day, yeah, we've sold more flipping iPhones, haven't we?

银行里的现金比美国政府还多。

More cash in the bank than the US government.

我们有现金

We've got cash

多得都快从耳朵里冒出来了，

coming out of our blooming ears,

确实有。

we have.

我们的屁股，

Our asses.

你讲完了吗？

Have you finished?

我完成了。

I have finished.

你完成了？

You finished?

好的。

Okay.

明白了。

Right.

所以，砰砰啪啪，全搞定了。

So oh, crash, bang, wallop.

好吧。

Alright.

所以我们完成了，是吧。

So we finished then.

你有没有注意到我手里这些纸条上写下的那些短语动词和习语？

Did you did you manage to spot the phrasal verbs and idioms that were written down on these pieces of paper that I've got in my hands?

我们来看看，我觉得我先完成的，所以我想我可以先读出我的短语动词。

Let's see, I think I finished first, so I would say I could probably read out my phrasal verbs first.

我觉得它们是按这个顺序出现的。

I think they came in this order.

第一个是陷入某种状态，所以是陷入某种状态。

The first one was lapse into something, so lapse into something.

如果你查看网页，就会看到这些都写在上面了。

If you check the web page, you'll see all of these written down.

陷入某种状态就像是，你知道的，慢慢陷入一个梦境什么的，或者陷入昏迷，陷入……

To lapse into something is like to, you know, sort of drift into a dream or something, or lapse into a coma, lapse into

一个梦境。

a dream.

但它更像是一种默认回到熟悉的行事方式。

But it's more like you're defaulting to a familiar way of behaving.

所以，你知道……

So, you know

但你会陷入昏迷，对吧？

But you lapse into a coma, don't you?

这就像字面上跌入一种不同的存在方式，一种不同的

It's like the idea of dropping down In literal into a different way of being, a different

从字面意义上说，但你也可以陷入自己的正常口音。

In literal sense, but you could lapse into your normal accent as well.

好的。

Okay.

你可能会陷入

You could lapse into

所以这有点像切换到不同的范式。

So it's kind of like shifting into a different paradigm.

嗯，切换到一种舒适的行为方式。

Well, shifting into a comfortable way of behaving.

明白了。

Okay.

所以你会陷入某种状态。

So you lapse into something.

这个想法是，它是一种你平时的行为方式。

The idea is that it's something that's your usual way of behaving.

我认为就这个表达的使用频率而言，我们会说类似‘陷入昏迷’这样的话。

I think in terms of frequency with this expression, we would say things like lapse into a coma.

这相当常见，但你并不常陷入昏迷。

It's quite a common Yeah, but you don't often lapse into a coma.

不，确实如此，但我只是在说‘lapse’这个词，而不是这个行为。

No, it's true, but I'm just saying the word lapse, not the action.

这个词‘lapse’。

The word lapse.

这就是它

That's what it

意味着不，通常与‘陷入昏迷’搭配使用。

means to no, tends to be used with the word into a coma.

我觉得这非常常见。

I think it's very common.

比如，我直接去谷歌搜索一下。

Like if I right, just Google that.

它有好多定义。

It's just got lots of definitions.

lapse into 是什么意思？

Do lapse into?

意外的或暂时的偏离预期或公认状态。

Accidental or temporary decline or deviation from an expected or accepted condition.

是的。

Yeah.

我明白了。

I see.

我刚在谷歌里搜索了 'lapse into'，第一个结果就是 'lapse into a coma'。

I've just typed lapse into into Google, and the first thing it says is lapse into a coma.

是的。

Yeah.

所以有一个挺有趣的，就是 lapse into a comma。

So there's quite an amusing one, is lapse into a comma.

那就是

Which is

这在语法上太容易让人混淆了。

Oh, it's so grammatically tripping.

陷入沉默。

Lapse into silence.

陷入沉默。

Lapse into silence.

我觉得你会陷入白日梦。

I think you'd lapse into a daydream.

陷入无意识，是的。

Lapse into unconsciousness, yeah.

是的。

Yeah.

据说会陷入酗酒。

Lapse into alcoholism, apparently.

在我的例子中，我说的是奥利。

In my example, it was you know, I was talking about Oli.

他工作非常努力，但有时有空闲时，就只是坐着看书，然后陷入一种梦幻般的状态。

He works very hard, and then sometimes when he has time off, just sits and reads a book, and he lapses into a kind of dream or something.

我下一个想到的是‘let up’。

The next one I had was let up.

如果某事‘lets up’，就意味着它停止了。

If something lets up, it means it stops.

这通常带点负面含义，你知道的，就是停不下来。

And it's usually kind of negative, you know, it just won't let up.

这个头痛不会

This headache won't

停止。

let up.

是指持续了一段时间的事情终于停止了吗？

Is when something that's been ongoing for a while stops?

是的，当某事持续了一段时间后停止了。

Yeah, when something is ongoing for a while and stops.

我们通常用它来表达负面的意思，对吧？

Often use it in a negative way, don't we?

它就是不停歇。

It just doesn't let up.

是的，没错。

Yeah, that's right.

或者雨终于停了。

Or the rain's finally let up.

雨终于停了。

The rain has finally let up.

我不记得在对话中是怎么用这个词的。

I can't remember how I used it in the conversation.

不管怎样，你可以回听一下来找出答案。

Anyway, you can listen back to it to find out.

另一个是‘发脾气’。

The other one was lash out.

发脾气。

Lash out.

这个词语字面上的意思是，当你用双手迅速挥打或扇某人一下。

And this is when you in a literal sense, it's when you sort of strike out with your hand maybe to try and hit or slap someone very quickly.

这是一种非常迅速、具有攻击性，也许是防御性的手臂或手部动作，用来

It's like a very quick aggressive, maybe defensive gesture with your arm or hand to

发脾气，是自发的。

lash Spontaneous

也是这样。

as well.

自发的。

Spontaneous.

比如，走开。

Like, get off.

比如，你用手猛地打向别人。

Like, you lash out with your hand to try and hit someone.

而且，从隐喻或习语的角度来说，它也可以指你以防御性或攻击性的方式说出某些话。

And also, sort of metaphorically, idiomatically, it can mean when you say something in a defensive or aggressive way.

是的。

Yeah.

对。

Yeah.

反正我从来就不爱你。

Well, I never loved you anyway.

明白。

Yeah.

例如，他 defensively 地对她发作了。

He he lashed out at her defensively, for example.

好的。

Okay.

下一个表达很好，是‘翻阅’某物。

Next one is really nice, and it's to leaf through something.

翻阅某物。

To leaf through something.

Leaf 就像树上的叶子。

Leaf like a leaf from the tree.

‘翻阅’某物，意思是以一种轻松、缓慢而仔细的方式翻看一本书、杂志或报纸的页面。

Leaf through something, and that means to kind of slowly and carefully in a relaxed way go through the pages of a book or magazine or newspaper.

是的。

Yeah.

慢慢地翻动书页，就像翻动叶子一样，你知道的，翻阅

Slowly turn the pages as if the pages were leaves, you know, to leaf

从词源上讲，过去纸张或页面曾被称为叶子。

Well, it's Etymologically, that used to be the paper or pages used to be referred to as leaves.

账本里的叶子，就是这种用法。

Leaves in a ledger, that kind

这样的东西。

of thing.

对。

Right.

好的。

Okay.

所以，'leaf through something' 是一个很美妙的表达。

So to leaf through something, it's a lovely expression.

比如，慢慢地翻阅一份报纸。

Slowly go through a newspaper, for example.

下一个词是 'lust after someone or something'。

And the next one was to lust after someone or something.

而欲望，我们知道，是一种致命的罪过，我认为它指的是你强烈地以性方式渴望某物的行为。

And lust, we know, is that deadly sin, I think, is the sort of action of the thing where you desire, strongly desire something in a sexual way.

所以如果一个男人对一个女人有欲望，就意味着他强烈地性渴望她。

So if a man lusts after a woman, it means he really strongly sexually desires her.

但你也可以对其他事物产生欲望。

But you can also lust after other things.

那就是你非常、非常渴望某样东西的时候。

That's where you really, really desire something.

是的。

Yeah.

你可能会渴望权力。

You could lust after power.

政治家也常被描述为对权力有强烈的渴望。

Politicians are also often described as having a lust for power.

是的。

Yeah.

我说过，拳击手总是渴望关注，这就是为什么他们会举办这些活动和事情。

And I said that the boxers have a they always lust after publicity, which is why they have these sort of events and things.

对我来说，最后一个表达是‘一笑置之’。

And the final one for me was to laugh something off.

‘一笑置之’的意思是，比如你遇到了糟糕的事情，或者被批评了，你却用笑来应对。

To laugh something off, and that's when, for example, something bad happens to you or you get criticized and you just laugh about it as a way of dealing with it.

所以，这其实没什么大不了的。

So, it doesn't really matter.

这种事，你就是一笑而过。

That kind of thing, you just laugh.

你叫我胖，但我只是一笑置之。

You called me fat, but I just laughed it off.

没错。

Exactly.

绝佳的例子。

Excellent example.

所以这些就是我的短语动词。

So those are my phrasal verbs.

那么，你的习语是什么呢？

Now, what were your idioms that

我的习语中，第一个我很难编进一个关于雪地车辆冬眠的故事里。

My idioms that was the first one I found quite difficult to get into a story about hibernation on a snow covered vehicle.

是的。

Yeah.

但还有一个是‘亲自出马’。

But it was to take matters into your own hands.

亲自出马。

To take matters into your own hands.

对。

Yeah.

好的。

Okay.

那是什么意思？

What does that mean?

这意味着当发生某些事情，而你无法控制时。

So that means when there's something's happening and it's not within your control.

是的。

Yeah.

然后你决定要自己掌控局面并处理它。

And then you decide that you're gonna take it within your control and you're gonna deal with it.

是的。

Yeah.

所以在我举的例子中，有两个拳击手，通常你应该在拳击台内比赛，但他们自己采取行动，在新闻发布会上就打了起来。

So So in my in my example, there were two fighters who were normally, you're supposed to supposed to fight within a boxing ring, they took matters into their own hands and fought within the at the press conference.

是的。

Yeah.

好的。

Okay.

所以另一个采取主动的例子可能是，当你在公共场合，比如在公交车上，有人和司机争吵，公交车停着不动，你会说：看，我直接出手了，我上去制止了争吵，公交车这才开动。

So another example of taking matters into your own hand might be for example when you're out in public and let's say something is happening on the bus, like someone is arguing with the bus driver and the bus isn't moving, you would say, Look, I just took matters and into my own I went and I stopped the argument when we started going on the bus.

所以，采取主动。

So take matters into your own hands.

好的。

Okay.

下一个短语是：不是某人的对手。

And this next one is to be no match for someone.

不是某人的对手。

To be no match for someone.

这意味着你本质上比对方弱，根本不是他们的对手。

So that's when you're you're in essentially inferior to them, so you're not a match for them.

他们赢你简直轻而易举。

It would be easy for them to beat you in a match.

这正是我想说的。

That's what I'm talking about.

他不是迈克·泰森的对手。

He's no match for Mike Tyson.

是的。

Yeah.

没错。

Exactly.

所以他可能觉得自己很厉害，但他根本不是迈克·泰森或大卫·海耶的对手。

So he might be he might think he's tough, but he's no match for Mike Tyson or David Hay.

这意味着你不如某人，没有某人那么出色。

So it means you're not good at you're not you're not as good as someone.

曼联很强，但他们不是巴塞罗那的对手。

That's Manchester United are good, but they're no match for Barcelona.

没错。

Exactly.

对。

Yeah.

没错。

Exactly.

好的。

Okay.

所以我想不起来我什么时候用过那个了。

So I think I can't remember where I used that.

我想应该是其中一个盒子比不上另一个。

I think it was one of the boxes being no match for the other one.

是的，我也这么觉得。

Yeah, I think so.

对吧？

Right?

所以接下来我们得取笑一下，我觉得这个顺序其实乱了。

So next we have to take the mickey out of I think this is out of order actually.

是啊，你弄错顺序了。

Yeah, you've done them in the wrong order.

这其实并不重要。

It doesn't really matter.

不，就是让某人尝尝他们自己常做的滋味。

No, so to give someone a dose of their own medicine.

让某人尝尝他们自己常做的滋味，哇。

To give someone a dose of their own medicine, wow.

当一个人习惯拥有某种权力或做某件事时，你决定反过来对他们做同样的事，这就是所谓的‘以其人之道还治其人之身’。

So that's when someone is used to having a certain power or doing something, when you decide to do it to them.

比如，如果有人总是很无礼，当你也对他无礼时，你就是在以其人之道还治其人之身。

So if it was someone who's always being rude, When you're rude to them, you're giving them a dose of their own medicine.

这里的‘medicine’是指医生在你生病时开给你的药。

Let's Medicine being what the doctor gives you when you're ill.

是的。

Yeah.

那么我们来看看，还有哪些例子是某人对其施以‘以其人之道还治其人之身’

So let's see, what is another example of someone giving them a dose

在他们的播客中，我说大卫·海以粗鲁和经常辱骂别人而闻名，而在新闻发布会上，另一位拳击手决定也这么做，给了大卫·海一剂同样的药。

In their own the podcast I said David Hay is famous for being rude and giving lots of abuse to people, and the other boxer at the press conference decided he would do that and he gave David Hay a dose of his own medicine.

对，好吧。

Right, okay.

好的，行，没问题。

Okay, alright, fine.

我刚想到另一个例子：假设你的一个朋友总是捉弄你，比如总在你经过的地方放东西让你撞上，这真的很烦人，有一天你也在他经过的地方放了东西，结果他摔了一跤，出尽洋相，这就叫给他一剂同样的药。

I just thought of another example which would be, let's say, someone, a friend of yours is always playing tricks on you and he's always, let's say, leaving something for you to bump into and it's really annoying, and one day you leave something for him to bump into, and he falls over and makes a fool of himself, and so you gave him a dose of his own medicine.

没错。

Exactly.

就像一个爱恶作剧的人。

If a practical joker.

某种办公室里的傻瓜。

Some kind of office idiot.

而且你你

And you you

跟他们开个玩笑，是的，他们也尝到了自己的苦果

play a practical joke on them, then, yeah, they've got a dose of their

自己的苦果。

own medicine.

他们被施以了同样的报复。

They've been given a dose of their own medicine.

是的。

Yeah.

好的。

Okay.

你还有什么别的吗？

What else have you got?

接下来，让我们重温一下往昔。

So next is to take a trip down memory lane.

重温一下往昔，好吗？

Take a trip down memory lane, shall we?

这是一个隐喻性的习语。

This is a metaphorical idiom.

嗯，所有的习语都是隐喻性的，意思是一样的。

Well, all idioms are metaphorical, mean, it's same thing.

没错。

True.

它们要么是字面的，要么是习语性的。

Either they're literal or they're idiomatic.

是的。

Yeah.

这些全是习语性的，因为你并不会真的沿着记忆的巷子走一趟。

And so these are all idiomatic because you don't literally take a trip down memory lane.

但你可以真的服用自己的一剂药。

But you can literally take a dose of your own medicine.

我原本就是这么想的。

That's what I thought.

是的，使用这个表达来让别人自食其果时，并不是真的

Yeah, it's not because when you use that expression to give someone a dose of their own medicine, don't actually

你从不这么做。

You never use it.

他们只是吃了点青霉素之类的东西。

They took some penicillin or something.

没错。

That's true.

如果医生真的服用他自己开给病人的青霉素，那可就有趣了。

It would be funny if they did, if a doctor was taking some of his penicillin he prescribed himself.

他会跟你说：‘是的，’

He would be telling you that's Yeah,

可以拿这个开个玩笑。

could make a joke about that.

你听说过那个生病的医生，自己给自己开了青霉素吗？

Did you hear about the doctor who got sick and prescribed himself some penicillin?

不。

No.

他给自己用了自己开的药。

He gave himself a dose of his own medicine.

你大概可以从所有这些事情中编个笑话。

You can probably make a joke out of all

在那个时候，这些都可以拿来开玩笑。

of these at that point.

是的，好吧，还有什么？

Yes, yeah, Okay, what else?

让我们回到记忆深处。

So let's take a trip down memory lane.

那就是你只是在回味一些怀旧的东西。

That's where you're just it's something nostalgic.

这是对过去的回忆。

It's from remembering the past.

你正在回忆过去，但通常是在享受它。

You're remembering the past, but you're enjoying it generally.

是的，你还记得九十年代吗？

Yeah, so do you remember the nineties?

别开玩笑了。

Come on.

让我们回到过去，重温九十年代吧。

Let's take a trip down memory lane and go back to the nineties.

是的。

Yeah.

聊聊我们的大学经历吧。

Talk about our university experience.

是的。

Yeah.

你还记得九十年代当学生的时候吗？

Do you remember when you were a student in the nineties?

依稀记得。

Vaguely.

真的只是依稀记得。

Vaguely, really.

对你来说怎么样？

How was it for you?

那会儿挺模糊的。

It was it was quite blurry.

为什么模糊？

Why why blurry?

你是说不清晰吗？

You mean not clear?

非常不清楚。

It was very unclear.

不是。

No.

因为在你生命中的那个阶段，你真的只是在喝酒消磨时间

Because that in that period of your life, you're really just spending time drinking and

反正你就是这样。

You are, anyway.

哦，我现在是这样，

Oh, I am now,

但你当时不只是在喝酒。

but you weren't just drinking.

我那时候也做其他事情。

I was doing other things too.

天啊。

Oh, dear.

好吧。

Okay.

那是

It was

最好别提了。

Best not to mention.

如果你上过大学，如果你能记得大学时光，那你当时根本没在那儿。

If you were at university if if you could remember university, you weren't there.

对。

Right.

好吧。

Okay.

正如人们所说，重温旧时光真好。

As they say, it's great to take a trip down memory lane.

好吧。

Okay.

好吧。

Okay.

那我们得记在心里。

Then we've got to take to make a mental note.

做个心理备注。

To make a mental note.

我相信你也可以做个心理备注。

You I I believe you can take a mental note as well.

是的。

Yeah.

但一定要做个心理备注。

But just certainly to make a mental note.

明白吗？

Alright?

我不记得你说过这个。

I don't remember you saying that.

我们在讨论苹果科技的时候说过这个。

I was saying that when we were talking about Apple technology.

哦，对。

Oh, yeah.

它如何改变了你看待生活的方式。

And how it's changed the way that you you go through life.

以前，你必须记住这些东西。

And previously, you have to remember stuff.

必须做个心理备注。

Have to make a mental note.

对。

Right.

但现在

But now

你可以直接用你的

you can actually just use your You can

实际上可以用苹果手机的备忘录。

actually use an Apple phone note.

记个笔记，它就一直跟着你。

Take a note and it's with you.

你可以通过谷歌来查找信息，而不是去记住它们。

And you can look at Google

是的。

Right.

你可以通过谷歌来查找信息，而不是去记住它们。

To to find things out rather than you to remember them.

我明白了。

I see.

我明白了。

I see.

信息已经被外包给了记忆。

Information has been outsourced and memory.

是的。

Right.

外包给了我们的技术，是的。

Outsourced to our technology Yes.

好吧？

Okay?

所以这是要记在心里。

So it's to make a mental note.

记在心里。

To make a mental note.

所以记笔记 literally 就是把某事写下来。

So to make a note is literally just to write something down.

因此，心理笔记其实就是记住某事的行为。

So the mental note is really just the act of remembering something.

没错。

That's right.

对。

True.

这就像是，嗨，这是我的妻子桑德拉。

That kind of like, so hello, this is my wife Sandra.

你好，桑德拉。

Hello Sandra.

而且你要说，桑德拉。

And you go, Sandra.

我必须记住她的名字叫桑德拉。

I'm gonna must remember her name is Sandra.

五分钟后你就想，天啊，她叫什么名字来着？

And then five minutes later you go, fuck, what was her name?

你叫什么名字来着？

What was your name again?

抱歉。

Sorry.

桑德拉。

Sandra.

当然。

Of course.

当然。

Of course.

我希望我记下了

I wish I'd taken a

心理笔记。

mental note.

桑德拉。

Sandra.

所以这个最后的短语是‘take the Mickey out of something’，这是一种相当冷门的英式说法。

So this final word is to take the Mickey out of something, which is quite an obscure kind of British saying.

拿走他们，拿走他们，你在取笑我吗，老兄？

Take them take them are you taking the Mickey, mate?

你是在取笑我吗？

Are you taking the Mickey out of me?

所以当你在逗弄某人的时候，就是这种情况。

So that's when you're making fun of somebody.

你在取笑我吗？

Are you taking the Mickey?

开玩笑也算吗？

Would making fun also be Yeah.

是的。

Yeah.

你是在笑话我吗？

Are you making fun of me?

不是。

No.

因为那那它是

Because that's that's It's

这是一个短语动词，对吧？

a phrasal verb, isn't it?

不是。

No.

取笑。

To make fun.

取笑。

Make fun.

不，这不是一个短语动词。

No, it's not a phrasal verb.

哦，那一定是。

Oh, it must be.

因为'fun'是名词，而短语动词通常是动词加介词或副词。

Because fun is a noun, and usually phrasal verbs are a verb and a preposition or an adverb.

所以，比如编一个故事。

So, you know, to make up a story, for example.

'fun'必须是第一个词。

The fun would have to be the first.

Make fun 和 eat breakfast 一样，都不是短语动词。

Make fun is not any more of a phrasal verb than eat breakfast.

不，早餐不是一个动词，而make和fun都是动词。

No, breakfast is not a verb, and both make and fun are verb.

fun不是一个动词。

Fun is not a verb.

当被问到fun的过去分词是什么时，你不能说‘fun’。

You can't fun when it was asked what's the past participle of fun.

我昨天玩得很开心。

I've funned a lot yesterday.

不对。

No.

这就像打高尔夫球。

It's like golf.

fun是一个名词。

Fun is a noun.

你可以

You can

就像动词和名词一样。

just like verb noun.

我吃早餐。

I eat breakfast.

我玩得很开心。

I have fun.

我取笑某人。

I make fun of someone.

这有点像短语动词。

It's kind of phrasal.

这绝对是一个短语。

It's definitely a phrase.

所以取笑某事。

So to take the mickey out of something.

是的。

Yes.

‘Take the mickey out of something’ 指的是你在取笑某事。

The mickey out of something is when you're making fun of something.

所以你是在嘲笑某人。

So you're you're having you're laughing at someone.

嘲笑某人。

Laughing at someone.

是的。

Yeah.

所以，模仿某人通常就是取笑他们。

So I might to do an impression of someone is to is often to take the mickey out of them.

对。

Yeah.

比如，我是奥利弗。

So like, I'm Oliver.

我在BBC工作。

I'm at the BBC.

我非常重要。

I'm very important.

现在是卢克在模仿奥利弗。

This is now Luke taking the out Oliver.

这个东西就是我。

The something is me.

好的。

Okay.

那是

That's

它。

it.

那是

That's

它。

it.

那就是结束。

That's That's the end.

所以这是六个短语动词，六个成语供你欣赏，我认为这些短语动词和成语都是常用表达。

So that's six phrasal verbs, six idioms for your enjoyment, and I would say that those phrasal verbs and idioms are ones that are commonly used.

它们相当常见。

They're reasonably common.

它们并不奇怪，也不是没人用的古怪成语。

They're not strange, they're not weird idioms that no one ever says.

如果你使用它们，没人会取笑你。

If you use them, no one will take the mickey out of you.

是的，没错。

Yeah, true.

你只需要以一种自然的方式使用它们。

You've just got to use them in a kind of authentic way.

别光顾着堆砌成语，要懂行。

Don't just speak in idioms, know.

在英语中，我们并不会每句话都用习语，对吧？

In English we don't use idioms like in every sentence, right?

不会，但它们非常常见。

No, but they are very common.

它们确实很常见。

They are

确实很常见，但并不是说我们每两句话就用一次。

very common, but it's not, know, we're not just using them in every second.

其实这挺可悲的，但有时候我们在学校和老师一起吃午饭时，会玩一个愚蠢的游戏，要求只能用习语说话。

Actually this is very sad, but sometimes when we're having lunch with teachers at school, we do this stupid game where we have to just speak in idioms.

所以我们只能用习语交谈。

So we can only we can talk only in idioms.

还挺有趣的。

It's quite fun.

你想试试看吗？

Do you want to try it for a bit?

我们来看看我是否知道习语是什么。

Let's see if I know what an idiom is.

习语就是一种惯用表达。

Well an idiom is just like an expression that's idiomatic.

我们来看看。

Let's see.

就我目前想到的，也许我可以先抛砖引玉一下。

Just off the top of my head, if I could maybe just get the ball rolling here.

你这是在跟我打招呼呢。

You're just touching base with me.

是的，没错。

Yeah, exactly.

我只是在跟你联系一下。

I'm just touching base.

你知道的，往后走，我觉得我们或许应该定一些里程碑计划，好正式启动一下进程。

Know, going forward, I thought that something we maybe we should set out some kind of milestone plan just to just to get the just to kick off proceedings.

你你你你什么

What what do you What's your I

我不想小题大做。

don't want to make a big deal out of it.

我不想兴师动众。

I don't want to create a storm in a teacup.

不，别打开潘多拉的盒子，别惹是生非，没人想这么做。

No, or open a can of worms and throw the cat amongst the pigeons No, no one wants to do that.

不，当然不想。

No, certainly not.

那你对目前的状况总体怎么看？

So what's your viewpoint generally on the state of affairs?

在报纸上？

In the newspapers?

当然，是的。

Certainly, yeah.

这确实是个潘多拉的盒子。

Well, is a can of worms.

确实如此。

It really is.

确实如此。

It really is.

这简直是一团糟。

It's a it's a bit of a nightmare.

这确实是个噩梦场景。

It is a nightmare scenario.

是的。

Yeah.

我快没成语可用了。

I'm I'm running out of idioms.

那《太阳报》呢？

What about the Sun?

你知道《太阳报》吗？

You know the Sun newspaper?

是的。

Yeah.

它今天发布了《星期日太阳报》，也就是明天。

It's released the Sunday Sun today, which is tomorrow.

对。

Yeah.

这是那份新的周日报纸。

Which is the the new Sunday paper.

这是把世界新闻包装了一下。

Which is the news of the world dressed up.

是的。

Yeah.

而且，它也是把世界新闻包装成《太阳报》。

As a as well, it's the sun dressed it's news of the world dressed up as the sun.

是的。

Yeah.

这基本上是一回事，对吧？

It's basically the same thing, isn't it, again?

是的。

Yeah.

好的。

Okay.

好吧，这部分结束了。

Well, that was the end of that bit.

我在做成语游戏方面更有经验，所以

I'm more experienced at doing the idioms game, so

我可能会转到‘你真是让我难堪了’。

I'll maybe roll over the You really dropped me in it.

是的。

Yeah.

做了。

Did.

我直接把你扔进深水区了。

I threw you in at the deep end.

是的。

Yeah.

而我只是随性应对，纯粹是即兴发挥，想到什么说什么。

Whereas I was just rolling with it, just just really just improvising off the top of my head.

好的。

Okay.

就这样了。

我认为这个阶段我们大概就只有这么多时间了。

I think that's probably all we've got time for at this stage.

是的。

It is.

我们可以结束了。

It's we could sign off.

我想我们该结束了，现在就收尾吧，简单总结一下，基本上就是这样。

I think we'll probably sign off, just wrap this whole thing up now, just summarize that that's basically it.

你只能得到这些了。

That's all you're gonna get.

我们真的无法再继续下去了。

We're not really gonna be able to proceed any further.

我基本上觉得我们现在时间快用完了。

I pretty much think we've we're running out of time now.

该到时间了。

It's time.

你可以在结尾加个句号。

It's you can put a full stop at the end.

我们大概可以加个

We can probably put

在这段话末尾加个句号，就此结束。

a period at the end of this, full stop this.

你知道的，时间到了，各位女士们先生们。

You know, time's up, ladies and gentlemen.
