90. 竞争 + 短语动词ABC

这可能会极大地提升人们的士气，你知道的，大家的精神状态和积极情绪。

It could be very good for kind of the morale of people, you know, the kind of state of mind of everyone, the positivity.

今年这可能会是一场非常棒的庆祝活动。

It could it could be a really good celebration this year.

当然，今年还有女王登基钻禧纪念活动，伦敦市中心将举办盛大的派对，众多摇滚明星将在白金汉宫演出，泰晤士河上还会举行盛大的船队游行。

And, of course, we've got the Queen's Diamond Jubilee happening, and there'll be a massive party in the center of London with lots of rock stars playing a concert at Buckingham Palace and a big procession of boats on the river.

这一定会非常令人印象深刻。

It should be really impressive.

所以这应该会很有趣。

So that should be interesting.

但伦敦，是的，伦敦，真是个了不起的城市，多么美丽的城市啊。

But London, yes London, what a town it is, what a beautiful city.

当然，它不像巴黎。

It's not like Paris of course.

巴黎非常有条理。

Paris is very well organised.

它是由一个叫豪斯曼的人设计的，这真的挺讽刺的，你想想看。

It was designed by this man called Houseman, which I think is quite ironic really when you think about it.

他就是那个设计了巴黎所有街道和建筑的人，他的名字叫豪斯曼。

He's the guy who designed all the streets and the buildings in Paris and his name was houseman.

豪斯曼。

Houseman.

我的意思是，这太棒了，不是吗？

I mean it's brilliant isn't it?

豪斯曼设计了所有的房屋和相关设施。

Houseman and he designed all the houses and stuff.

我特别喜欢这种讽刺感。

I love that kind of irony.

伦敦并不是这样的。

London isn't really like that.

伦敦只是许多小城镇拼凑在一起的集合体。

London is just a collection of little towns all stuck together.

所以你有众多城镇彼此相连。

So you've got loads of towns all together, all connected.

在某些地方，伦敦感觉非常像村庄，仿佛你置身于某个村庄之中。

It becomes like, in some cases it feels like very village y, feels like you're in a village or something in some parts of London.

但当两个城镇连接在一起时，就会形成一个更大的城市。

But then when two towns connect together you get like a much bigger city.

伦敦就是这样，由众多相互连接的城镇和村庄组成。

That's really what London's like, a collection of towns and villages all connected to each other.

因此，它显得更加混乱、更加无序。

So it seems to be a lot more chaotic, a lot more disorganized.

许多古老的建筑与现代建筑混杂在一起，还有许多充满独特文化和氛围的有趣小角落。

There are lots of old, really old buildings mixed in with more modern buildings, and there are lots of interesting little places and corners with their own little culture and atmosphere.

这真的太棒了。

It's really fantastic.

这是一个你走在街上可能偶遇老朋友的地方，你可以走进街角一家古老的酒吧，和老友喝上几杯啤酒。

It's the sort of place where you could be walking through somewhere and you might bump into an old friend and you could just go to some fantastic old pub on a street corner and just drink a few beers with an old friend.

这太棒了，真的非常棒。

It's fantastic, it really is.

所以了解伦敦，伦敦，是不是很棒？

So know London, London, isn't it great?

我不知道他们能不能按时准备好奥运会。

I wonder if they're going to get the Olympics ready in time.

我的意思是，我预计他们会做好，毕竟他们在这上面花了这么多钱，但如果开幕式因为准备不足而取消，那岂不是一场噩梦？

I mean I expect they will, they're spending enough money on it, But wouldn't it be a nightmare if they had to like call off the opening ceremony because they weren't ready?

如果他们不得不取消开幕式，那将是整个国家的耻辱。

That would be a total national embarrassment if they had to call off the opening ceremony.

我预计会有很多人积极参与庆祝活动。

I expect a lot of people will get really involved in the celebrations.

他们可能会玩得太嗨，喝得太多。

They might get carried away and kind of drink too much.

这很符合英国人的特点。

It's typical of the English.

我们往往会为这类事情过度兴奋，喝很多酒。

We tend to get carried away with these sorts of things and sort of drink a lot.

但我想象奥运会期间应该会是一个平静而愉快的时光，当然，除非所有的地铁都挤爆了，街道太拥挤，交通变成一场噩梦。

But I imagine it should be quite peaceful and happy time really during the Olympics unless of course all of the underground trains are packed and the streets are too crowded and the traffic is a nightmare.

这有可能发生。

Could be a possibility.

我在想。

I wonder.

我在想会发生什么。

I wonder what's going to happen.

所以，伦敦。

So yeah, London.

伦敦。

London.

我想这已经成为本集的主题了，不是吗？

I guess that's becoming the topic of this episode, isn't it?

有点像伦敦的ABC短语动词之类的。

Sort of ABC phrasal verbs in London or something.

但我希望你一直在关注这一切。

But I hope that you're I hope you're keeping up with all of this.

我希望你能跟上我说的内容。

I hope you're managing to follow what I'm saying.

我不知道你注意到了多少个短语动词。

And I wonder if you've I wonder how many phrasal verbs you've noticed.

如果你还在列清单，但还没把它们都记下来，那你得努力跟上进度。

You know, if you're if you're still kind of, writing a list or something and you haven't caught them all, know you've got to try and catch up.

别掉队了，赶紧追上来，因为我还在用短语动词。

Don't slow down, catch up because I'm still using phrasal verbs.

事实上，我刚才就用了一个。

In fact I used one just then as a matter of fact.

回到英国人喝酒太多这个话题，奥运会期间警察可能会忙得不可开交。

So going back to this idea of British people drinking too much, the police might have a lot of work to do during the Olympics.

我知道他们会留意这些独狼恐怖分子之类的情况。

I know that they'll be looking out for these lone wolf terrorists and everything.

我不确定这到底有多大威胁，但我预计警察还得花大力气管控那些喝酒或做不该做事情的人。

I'm not sure how much of a threat that really is but I expect that the police will also have to work pretty hard to control sort of people who are drinking, you know, or doing sort of things they shouldn't be doing.

我预计会有一些人因醉酒闹事或类似行为被逮捕并受到指控。

I expect some people will get arrested and they'll be charged with, you know, drunken disorderly or behaviour or something.

至于我，我不知道自己会不会去参与奥运会。

But me, I suppose I'm I don't know if I'm going to go and get involved in the Olympics.

我没有票，而且我住在伦敦的另一边。

I don't have any tickets and I live on the other side of London.

我可能会去看看，但我认为自己很可能会避开，因为那里会太拥挤、太难搞。

I might go and have a look but I think I'm probably going to avoid it because it's going to be too crowded and too difficult.

所以我可能会待在家里，打扫房间，放松一下，就是那种事情。

So I'll probably just stay in and clean up my room and just chill out, know, that sort of thing.

只是追一追我喜欢的电视剧集。

Just catch up on episodes of TV shows that I like.

这听起来真让人难过，我打算在奥运会期间待在家里。

That sounds really sad, I'm just going to stay in during the Olympics.

其实我不确定我会这么做。

Actually I don't think I will.

我想我会出去。

I think I'll go out.

我会试着以某种方式参与其中。

I'll try and get involved in it somehow.

我觉得这会非常有趣。

I think it would be really interesting.

我觉得对来伦敦的游客来说也会很有趣。

I think also it'd be interesting for visitors coming to London.

他们可能会对这座城市有不一样的看法。

They might get a different view of the city.

他们可能会意识到，这座城市并不像他们预期的那样。

They might realize that it's not the same as as how they expected it to be.

我认为有些人仍然以为伦敦总是阴雨连绵、雾气弥漫、灰蒙蒙的，街上到处是像憨豆先生这样的人，或者某种维多利亚时代的伦敦景象。

I think some people still expect London to be constantly raining, foggy, grey, with people like Mr Bean wandering round and, you know, some sort of Victorian version of London.

但那已经不是现在伦敦的真实样子了。

But that's not really what it's like anymore.

这是一个极其充满活力且高度都市化的地方。

It's an incredibly dynamic place and extremely metropolitan.

这座城市里居住着来自世界各地的人们。

There are people from all over the world living in this city.

在这里，你几乎可以吃到任何你想吃的美食。

You can get almost any kind of food that you want here.

如果你喜欢日本料理，就能吃到想吃的全部寿司。

So if you love Japanese food you can get all the sushi you want.

如果你是土耳其人，想吃烤肉串，也能吃到所有的这类食物。

If you're Turkish and you like your kebabs you can get all of that stuff.

印度菜、伊朗菜、阿拉伯菜、韩国餐厅，各种各样的美食都有。

Indian food, Iranian food, Arabic food, Korean restaurants, all sorts of stuff.

这太棒了。

It's brilliant.

这一点确实很棒。

It's brilliant for that.

所以那些还没来过这里的人，仍然固守着伦敦是那种老派维多利亚式城市的刻板印象。

So still people who haven't been here they still cling to the stereotypes of London as a kind of old fashioned Victorian place.

我的意思是，当然有很多维多利亚时代的建筑，但这座城市并不真的那么传统。

I mean there are lots of Victorian buildings of course, but it's still it's not really that traditional.

它是一个相当现代的地方。

It's quite a modern modern kind of place.

在伦敦的街道上随意漫步，没有明确计划，偶然发现一些你从未见过的小咖啡馆、酒吧或店铺，真的很棒。

It's great to just wander through the streets of London without really having a plan and just kind of come across little cafes or pubs or little shops that you haven't discovered before.

这真的很棒，所以我推荐如果你还没来过伦敦，就过来吧。

It's really good so I recommend if you haven't been to London come over.

来英格兰吧，来伦敦逛逛，四处走走。

Come over to to England, visit London, come around.

不妨过来参观一下学校，伦敦英语学校。

Maybe come around and visit the school, London School of English.

你可以在那里喝杯茶。

You can have a cup of tea there.

如果你想的话，也可以在那里吃午饭。

You could eat your lunch there as well if you want to.

就过来吧，你知道的。

Just come over, you know.

我认为这对我们的经济当然会非常有帮助。

I think it would be really good for our economy, of course.

所以，如果你所在的国家目前经济强劲，那就来伦敦吧，顺便带些钱过来花一花，这或许能帮助我们渡过当前正在经历的经济衰退。

So if you're in one of these countries where the economy is really strong at the moment, come over to London and bring some of your money as well and sort of spend it because it might help us come through the recession which we're experiencing at the moment.

所以，是的，当我坐在这里，望着伦敦的街道、房屋、屋顶和摩天大楼时，我就在这里不断冒出各种想法，对吧？

So yes, as I sit here looking out at the streets and the houses and the rooftops and skyscrapers of London, I sit here and I just come up with ideas, don't I?

我会不断冒出一些播客的点子，然后把它们写下来、录下来，这样你听的时候就能专心提升英语水平。

I just come up with ideas for podcasts and then I write them down and I record them and it allows you to really concentrate on your English when you listen to it.

听这一集就像是给你的英语喝了一杯能量饮料。

It's like listening to an episode of this is like having an energy drink for your English.

这就像给你的英语腺体注射了一针肾上腺素，因为它真的能让你多一点专注力和集中力来学习英语。

It's like it's like some sort of shot of adrenaline for your English gland because it really does kind of just give you that extra ability to just focus and concentrate on English a little bit.

你知道人们很喜欢，因为一集通常包含采访、词汇、口音，还有各种你意想不到的内容，比如小笑话之类的。

And you know people love it because a typical episode might consist of interviews or vocabulary, accents, all kinds of things and stuff that you might not expect, little jokes and stuff.

所以我建议你继续收听卢克的播客，并把播客分享给你的朋友，让每个人都能为围绕卢克英语播客形成的在线社区贡献力量。

So I recommend that you continue to listen to Luke's podcast, share the podcast with your friends so that everyone can contribute to the growing online community that is surrounding Luke's English podcast.

所以，我通常用便携式录音机或台式麦克风来录制这些节目。

So yeah, I tend to record these episodes using either a handheld audio recorder or I use a desktop microphone.

台式麦克风效果更好一点，但便携式的用起来更方便。

The desktop microphone is a bit better, but the handheld one is a little bit easier.

那个便携设备录制的是WAV格式，我会把文件传到电脑里，先转换成MP3格式，然后再导入GarageBand，在那里我编辑卢克英语播客的所有节目，之后才发布到网上。

And that one records into WAV format, and I put it into my computer and I convert the audio file into mp3 before I put it into GarageBand where I edit all of the episodes of Luke's English podcast before they get published on the internet.

记得以前还没MP3的时候，我所有的音乐都存在CD里。

Just remember the days, back in the days before we had m p threes and things, and that's when I had all my music on CD.

不久之前，但如今把所有东西都存在CD上还是有点过时了。

Not too long ago, but still it's still a bit old fashioned now to have everything on CD.

我记得我以前坐在房间里，用CD播放器听音乐，把所有的CD都拿出来。

I remember I used to sit in my room with my CD player and I would have all of my CDs out because I'd listen to all the music.

我的书桌上堆满了CD，我一边听音乐，一边为朋友录制磁带。

My desk would be covered in CDs and I'd be listening to them all, making recordings, making tapes for my friends.

当然，现在所有东西都变成了MP3，可以轻松通过互联网分享，这对音乐产业来说是个问题，因为这种盗版行为影响了CD的销量。

Now of course everything's on m p three and it means it's easily shared over the internet, which is kind of a problem for the music industry because all of this privacy all of this piracy affects CD sales and things.

所以你知道，在一些地方，警方严厉打击盗版，互联网上有些网站允许人们免费分享音乐和电影。

So you know the police in some places really crack down on piracy and there are websites for example on the internet where you can share music and movies free.

但政府，尤其是FBI，对这种非法文件共享进行了严厉打压。

But the government particularly the FBI really cracked down on that kind of illegal file sharing.

目前，互联网上的这种情况很有趣。

It's an interesting situation with this on the internet at the moment.

是的，正在发生很多变化，很多变化正在进行中。

Yeah, there are lots of changes, lots of changes going on.

特别是在英国，正如我之前提到的经济衰退情况。

Particularly in The UK as as of course as I was saying about the recession.

政府正在大幅削减公共支出，这意味着公共服务会减少之类的。

The government is cutting back on public spending a lot which kind of means that public services get reduced and things like that.

谁知道呢？

Who knows?

我不知道如果我们走出衰退，会不会没事，但如果我们挺不过去呢？

I don't know if we come out of the recession, we should be alright, but who knows if we don't survive?

谁知道会发生什么？

Who knows what will happen?

也许政府会切断电力供应，我们都陷入黑暗。

Maybe the government will cut off the electricity supply and we'll all be plunged into darkness.

对。

Right.

好了，就这样。

Now that's it.

我刚才在那段话里已经讲过了。

I've just been through there in that sort of bit of speech there.

我刚刚讲了很多短语动词。

I just went through loads of phrasal verbs.

我不知道你有没有注意到它们。

I wonder if you noticed them.

现在我要把它们全部列出来。

Well now I'm gonna list them all.

它们的顺序基本和我待会儿列出的顺序一致。

They were pretty much in this order that I'm gonna list them in.

所以我现在要把所有的短语动词都列出来。

So I'm gonna list all of the phrasal verbs now.

我会给每个词举一些例句，说完后给你们机会跟着重复一遍。

I'm gonna give you sort of example sentences, I'll give you a chance to repeat the example sentence after I say it.

好的，第一个是 account for 某事。

Okay so the first one was to account for something.

解释某事。

To account for something.

解释某事。

To account for something.

我想我说过我不记得例子是什么了。

And I think I said I don't remember what the example was.

我想我可以这么做，如果我打开这扇窗户，可以给你一个例子，比如伦敦是个非常繁忙的城市，这正好解释了你能听到的所有噪音。

Guess what I could do is if I open the window here, I could give you an example which is like London's a very busy city which really accounts for all the noise that you can hear.

如果我打开窗户，你大概能听到外面的噪音。

If I open the window, you can probably hear the noise from outside.

伦敦是个非常繁忙的城市，这解释了你能听到的汽车和交通噪音。

London's a very busy city which accounts for all of the noise that you can hear of cars and traffic.

所以再把窗户关上，享受一些宁静。

So close the window again and get some peace and quiet.

所以如果某事解释了另一件事，那就像是某事的原因。

So if something accounts for something else it's like the reason for something.

所以伦敦很繁忙，这解释了噪音的来源。

So London's busy and that accounts for the noise.

明白吗？

Okay?

所以它说明某事物是另一事物的原因。

So it explains that something is the cause of something else.

明白吗？

Okay?

比如，你可能会说，我最近喝太多咖啡了，这导致了我的睡眠模式很差。

So you might say I've been drinking too much coffee which accounts for my poor sleeping patterns at the moment, for example.

好了，来解释某事物。

Alright, so to account for something.

比如，你可能会说，政府削减了公共支出，这导致了公共部门大量工作岗位的流失。

So you might say the government has cut back on public spending which accounts for the loss of so many jobs in the public sector, for example.

下一个短语是采取行动，采取行动。

The next one was to act on something, to act on something.

例如，付诸实施一个想法。

For example to act on an idea.

我相信我之前说过，我坐在这里，获得灵感，产生想法，然后通过录制播客来付诸实施这些想法。

And I believe I said that you know I sit here, get inspiration, I get ideas, and then I act on those ideas by recording a podcast.

所以，付诸实施某事，是指对已经发生的事情做出实际回应。

So to act on something is to actually do something in response to something else that's happened.

说‘付诸实施一个想法’非常常见。

And it's very common to say to act on an idea.

我有一个想法，然后付诸实施了。

So I had an idea and I acted on it.

所以在产生想法之后，我实际上采取了行动作为结果。

So after having the idea I actually did something as a result.

所以我把那个想法付诸实施了。

So I acted on the idea.

同意。

Agree with.

当然，每个人都知道什么是同意某事。

Well that's what everyone knows of course to agree with something.

我同意你，我不同意你。

I agree with you, I don't agree with you.

比如，我不同意你的观点。

I disagree with you, for example.

英语学习者常犯的一个错误，特别是如果你来自法国、西班牙、意大利、巴西或说葡萄牙语的地方。

A common mistake that learners of English often make, particularly if you're from somewhere like France or Spain or Italy, Brazil, if you speak Portuguese.

人们经常说 'I am agree'，但这是错误的。

It's very common for people to say, I am agree, but that's wrong.

I am agree。

I am agree.

正确的说法是 'I agree'，而 'I am not agree' 是错误的，应该说 'I don't agree'。

It should be 'I agree' and 'I am not agree' which is wrong should be 'I don't agree'.

这实际上是我听到的最常见错误之一。

That's one of the most common mistakes I hear actually.

事实上，我认为我之前已经提到过这个错误，就是在关于常见错误的那一集中。

In fact I think I've already mentioned that mistake in a previous episode, the one which was about common errors.

所以如果你想了解更多关于常见错误的信息，可以回去听我关于常见错误和典型错误的那集节目，那里有很多有用的内容。

So if you want to find out more about common mistakes go back to my episode about common errors and typical mistakes and you'll find loads and loads of useful stuff there.

下一个是要用‘appeal to’。

Next one was to appeal to.

这个播客真的吸引了很多不同的人。

This podcast really appeals to lots of different people.

这个播客吸引了很多不同的人。

The podcast appeals to lots of different people.

如果你看过我那个关于‘我喜欢’的16种表达方式的视频，那你应该记得我说过，住在夏威夷真的让我很向往。

Now if you've watched my video which is 16 ways to say I like it, then you'll remember that I say living in Hawaii really appeals to me.

所以如果某件事吸引你，就意味着它听起来不错。

So if something appeals to you, it means it sounds good.

它在你听来是个好主意。

It sounds like a good idea to you.

听起来像是你会喜欢或想做的事情。

Sounds like something you'd like or you'd want to do.

所以住在夏威夷真的让我很向往。

So living in Hawaii really appeals to me.

下一个是要支持某人。

The next one was to back someone up.

支持某人。

To back someone up.

如果你支持某人，意思是你在支持他们。

If you back someone up, it means you support them.

知道我所有的听众都在支持我并为我投票，这真是太好了。

So it's great to know that my all of my listeners really back me up and they vote for me.

基于。

Base on.

我想我漏掉了‘基于’。

I think I missed base on.

我不认为我用过它。

I don't think I used it.

但可以说，卢克英语播客的许多集都是基于我的经历或我的想法。

But you could say a lot of the episodes of Luke's English podcast are based on my experiences or based on my thoughts.

通常，你会在一部根据真实故事改编的电影开头看到这样的字幕。

Typically, would say you'd see at the beginning of a movie based on a true story.

但在电影中，它们很少真的那么贴近现实。

But in the movies, they're they're rarely that true.

如果写着‘根据真实故事改编’，那只是意味着它只是非常 loosely 基于真实事件。

If it says based on a true story, it just means it's very loosely based.

意思是最初确实有个真实故事的雏形，但你现在要看的这部电影实际上和那个原始故事已经没什么关系了。

That there was something of a true story at the beginning, but now the movie you're gonna watch has got actually nothing to do with that original story.

所以，总之，‘基于’。

So anyway, based on.

这些播客经常基于我的经历或我的想法。

These podcasts are often based on my experiences or my ideas.

这本书是根据真实故事改编的。

This this book is based on a true story.

从……开始。

Begin with.

从……开始。

Begin with.

我说过，每个播客都以一段铃声开头。

I said each podcast begins with a jingle.

每个播客都以一段铃声开头。

Each podcast begins with a jingle.

这意味着你在播客里听到的第一样东西就是一段铃声。

That means the first thing you get in a podcast is a jingle.

明白吗？

Okay?

但我现在想强调一些其他带有‘begin’的表达。

But I thought I would highlight now some other expressions with begin.

所以我们有'begin with'，播客是以一段片头曲开始的。

So we've got begin with, the podcast begins with a jingle.

我的演讲将会以一个问题开始，例如。

My presentation is going to begin with a question, for example.

但我们也会说'begin by doing something'。

But we also say begin by doing something.

这在演讲中就是一个例子。

And that would be, for example, in a presentation.

今天我将先问你们一个问题。

Today I'm going to begin by asking you a question.

我将先问你们一个问题。

I'm going to begin by asking you a question.

你不会说'我将开始以问你们一个问题'，但演讲会以一个问题开始。

You wouldn't say I'm going to begin with asking you a question, but the presentation is going to begin with a question.

我将通过做某事开始，意思是那是我首先要做的事情。

I am going to begin by doing something, meaning that's the first thing I'm going to do.

另一个是开始做某事。

And the other one is to begin to do something.

所以那就是我会开始做演示。

So that would be I'm going to I'll begin to do the presentation.

这仅仅意味着开始进行演示。

That just means start doing the presentation.

另一个是相信某事。

Another one was believe in something.

对吧？

Right?

你相信UFO吗？

Do you believe in UFOs?

你相信UFO吗？

Do you believe in UFOs?

你相信UFO吗？

Do you believe in UFOs?

显然，我们知道这意味着你认为它们存在，或者认为它们是真实或正确的。

Obviously we know that means that you think that they exist or that you think that they're true or right.

归属，我之前说过要归属于一个教派。

Belong to I said to belong to a sect.

如果你归属于某事物，就意味着你是那个群体的一部分，例如。

If you belong to something, means you're part of that group, for example.

我其实有个笑话，要讲给你听。

I've got a joke actually which I'm going to tell you.

我不保证它会很好笑，但无论如何我还是会讲出来。

I don't guarantee that it's going to be funny, but nevertheless I'm going to tell it anyway.

这个笑话是，为什么为什么，让我想想。

And the joke is why are why alright let me think.

为什么蚂蚁不能去教堂？

Why why can't ants go to church?

为什么蚂蚁不能去教堂？

Why can't ants go to church?

现在我得解释一下，因为你们可能不知道我在说什么。

Now I'm gonna have to explain this because you probably don't know what I'm talking about.

蚂蚁。

Ants.

蚂蚁是这种小昆虫。

Ants are these little insects.

黑色的小昆虫，它们排成队行走，喜欢收集树叶之类的东西。

Black little insects, they're walking in lines and they like to collect leaves and things.

蚂蚁。

Ants.

为什么蚂蚁不能去教堂？

Why can't ants go to church?

答案是因为它们是昆虫。

And the answer is because they're insects.

是的，没错。

Yeah, that's right.

昆虫。

Insects.

所以这是一个笑话，因为昆虫是一种动物，即昆虫。

So that's a joke because insects is a type of animal, insect.

而‘昆虫’意味着它们是一些有着奇怪信仰的奇怪小群体。

And insects means that they're in these weird little groups that have strange beliefs.

太好笑了。

Hilarious.

把这个笑话去掉，大概最好的做法就是把它扔进马桶冲走。

Take that joke away and just, you know, flush it down the toilet probably is the best idea.

或者把这个笑话去掉，讲给你的朋友听，你也能让他们感到困惑和疏远。

Or take that joke away and tell it to your friends and you can confuse and alienate them as well.

接下来是‘大吃一惊’。

So next is blow away.

如果我看到UFO，我会大吃一惊。

If I saw a UFO, I would be blown away.

如果你被震撼了，意思是您感到非常惊讶或震惊。

If you're blown away, it means you're really amazed or surprised.

天哪。

Oh my god.

我被震撼了。

I was blown away.

我看到了UFO。

I saw a UFO.

我被它彻底震撼了。

I was absolutely blown away by it.

爆炸。

Blow up.

爆炸的意思是爆炸。

Blow up means explode.

你知道的，爆炸。

You know, blow up.

所以如果军队攻击了UFO，它可能会爆炸。

So if the army attacked the UFO, maybe it would blow up.

出故障。

Break down.

比如，我的车在高速公路上抛锚了。

Like, my car broke down on the motorway.

那简直是一场噩梦。

It was a nightmare.

也许UFO会抛锚。

Maybe the UFO would break down.

所以，你知道，就是这种事。

So, you know, that sort of thing.

如果你们没听出来，那就是UFO出故障时的声音。

That's the sound of the UFO breaking down if you didn't realize that.

闯入。

Break into.

所以闯入一栋建筑，意思是未经许可，通过破坏窗户或门等方式进入。

So to break into a building, that would be to enter a building without permission by sort of damaging a window or damaging your door.

所以窃贼会闯入你的房子偷走你的电视。

So a burglar would break into your house to steal your TV.

别担心。

Don't worry.

我不觉得，现在这种情况已经相当罕见了。

I don't you know, it's it's quite rare these days.

是的。

Yes.

所以说到闯入，我说过外星人可能会闯入白金汉宫。

So to break into, I said the alien might break into Buckingham Palace.

希望这会挺有意思的。

Hopefully, it might be interesting.

突破，指的是你成功从某种禁锢中逃脱，比如你被锁在里面的时候。

Break out, that would be where you manage to escape from something, like if you've been locked in.

比如，你会从监狱里越狱。

So you would break out of prison, for example.

分手。

分手，你知道的，情侣如果吵架后决定不再在一起了，他们就会分手。

Break up, well you know boyfriend and girlfriend would break up if they had an argument and they decided they didn't want to be together anymore, they break up.

推翻政府。

推翻政府。

如果有革命，所有人都会联合起来，推翻政府，政府就会垮台，然后他们会建立一个新的政府。

If there's a revolution all of the people kind of get together and they get rid of the government and so the government falls down and they, you know, introduce a new government.

所以他们是推翻了政府。

So they bring down the government.

“推翻”也可以有其他意思。

Bring down also can mean another thing.

它也可以意味着让你感到沮丧。

It can mean to make you depressed.

就像，你知道的，天啊，别再跟我说这些了。

意思是你在让我感到抑郁。

It's meaning you're making me depressed.

别用你那些沉重的想法扫我的兴，哥们。

Don't bring me down, man, with your heavy ideas, man.

我不知道自己干嘛像个嬉皮士一样说话，因为不只是嬉皮士才会说：‘老兄，你已经彻底破坏了我的心情了。’

I don't know why I'm acting like a hippie because it's not just hippies who say, dude, you're, like, totally bringing down my vibe already.

不过他们不会在句尾加‘已经’这个词。

Although they wouldn't say already at the end.

你会说：‘老兄，老兄，那真是个糟糕透顶的故事。’

You're like, dude, dude, that was like a heinous story.

你彻底垮了。

You totally broke.

完全破坏了我的心情。

Totally brought down my mood.

是的，这是我模仿嬉皮士语气的拙劣尝试。

Yeah, that's my bad attempt at doing a hippie's voice.

别扫我的兴，哥们。

Don't bring me down, man.

你真是个扫兴鬼，这感觉太糟糕了，伙计。

在某事基础上继续发展。

比如说，你已经取得了一些成就，然后在此基础上再取得更多。

So that would be to let's say, you've already achieved something and you achieve something else on top.

所以你是基于自己的成功继续前进。

So you build on your success.

你可能会说，比如曼联希望在赛季初期建立的五分领先优势基础上再接再厉，类似这样的情况。

You might say, for example, Manchester United are hoping to build on the the five point lead which they've established in the opening part of the season, that kind of thing.

“Build up”意思是增加或积累，比如培养对卢克英语播客的兴趣，或者政府希望提升人们对奥运会的兴趣。

Build up means sort of increase or gather, build up an interest in Luke's English podcast, or the government wants to build up people's interest in the Olympics.

偶遇：你可能在伦敦的街道上偶遇一位老朋友。

Bump into you might bump into an old friend if you're walking through the streets of London.

这意味着你只是偶然、巧合地遇到了某人。

That means you just meet someone by accident and just meet them by coincidence.

前几天我碰到了我的朋友迈克，我们一起去喝了幾杯啤酒。

I bumped into my friend Mike the other day and we went for a couple of pints.

他不停地给我买啤酒，一杯接一杯，我们一共喝了九杯健力士黑啤。

He kept buying me pints and pints and pints and we drank it like nine pints of Guinness.

我彻底醉了。

I was absolutely wasted.

我上了地铁，感觉特别恶心，只好在白城站跳下车。

I got in the underground and I felt so sick I had to jump out at White City Station.

我在站台上吐了一地。

I threw up all over the platform.

太恶心了。

Was disgusting.

这就是在伦敦偶遇老朋友时有时会发生的事。

That's what happens when you bump into old friends in London sometimes.

你最后会陷入一场狂饮模式，拼命往嘴里灌大量健力士啤酒，然后变得特别难受。

You end up on some binge drinking bender where you just stuff loads of Guinness in your your mouth and then you end up like being really sick.

这太荒唐了。

It's ridiculous.

说实话，我不明白我们为什么要这么做。

I don't know why we do it to be honest.

在这个城市，我们就是这么疯狂，离不开喝酒。

We're just crazy in this city without beer drinking and stuff.

我不推荐这样。

I don't recommend it.

如果你在个喝不到啤酒的国家，别担心。

If you're in a country where you can't get beer, don't worry about it.

也没那么糟。

It's not that bad.

这只会让你发胖，让你不健康，让你感到恶心，还让你像个傻子一样行事。

It just makes you fat, makes you unhealthy, it makes you feel sick, and makes you act like an idiot.

所以如果你在那里喝不到啤酒，其实也没什么好遗憾的。

So you're not missing much if you if you can't get the beer over there.

哇哦。

Woah.

好的。

Okay.

接下来是什么？

What's next?

碰上一位老朋友。

Bump into an old friend.

好的。

Okay.

取消。

Call off.

如果他们不得不取消奥运会的开幕式，那会不会很尴尬？

Wouldn't it be embarrassing if they had to call off the opening ceremony of the Olympics?

所以‘call off’的意思是取消一个活动。

So to call something off means to cancel an event.

你可能会说，需要取消会议，比如‘call off’某个事情。

You might say, need to call off the meeting, for example, to call something off.

变得忘乎所以。

Get carried away.

变得忘乎所以。

Get carried away.

比如，当某人太兴奋而做得过头时，就是这种情况。

That's when for example someone gets too excited and they go too far.

在庆祝活动中，很多人会喝酒，然后变得忘乎所以。

So during the celebrations a lot of people will be drinking and they'll get carried away.

这意味着他们会变得过于兴奋，比如。

It means they'll get like over excited, for example.

另一个例子是，比如说，我带我弟弟去射击场。

Another example would be okay let's say for example if I took my brother to the shooting range.

我有时候会去射击场，朝靶子开枪，我想如果我带我弟弟去，他会开始飞快地连续开枪。

I go to a shooting range sometimes where shoot guns at a target and I think if I took my brother along he would start shooting the guns like you know really fast.

我会说：好了，冷静点，别太激动了，这很危险。

别太激动了。

就是你和朋友见面，他们告诉你最近的所有消息，向你更新他们的近况，这就是和某人叙旧。

如果你被逮捕，警察可能会对你提起刑事指控。

The police might charge you with a crime if you get arrested.

所以，被指控某事，或者警察对某人提起指控，意味着他们正式指控此人犯有罪行，之后此人必须出庭受审。

So to be charged with something or if the police charge someone with something it means that they officially accuse them of committing a crime and then they have to go to court after that.

打扫干净显然就是让某物变干净的意思。

Clean up obviously just means make something clean.

比如打扫你的房间，打扫你的厨房。

Clean up your room, clean up your kitchen for example.

'Cling to'，'cling to'，拼写是 c-l-i-n-g。

'Cling to', 'cling to', that's c l I n g.

'Cling to' 就是紧紧抓住某物的意思。

'Cling to' and that's like to hold on to something very tight.

比如小猴子会紧紧抱住妈妈的背，就是这种感觉。

For example, the baby monkey clings to its mother's back, you know, that kind of thing.

或者那个小男孩因为紧张，紧紧拽着妈妈的腿。

Or the little boy was nervous so he clung to his mother's leg.

类似这样的情况。

That sort of thing.

或者人们往往固守着关于英国人行为的这些刻板印象。

Or people tend to cling to these stereotypes of English behaviour.

你知道吧，咱们就抱着对伦敦的刻板印象吧。

You know, Let's cling to stereotypes of London.

偶然遇到。

Come across.

‘Cling to’的另一个例子是，如果你的船沉了，你知道，船沉了，很多人在水里紧紧抓住木头碎片，对吧？

Another example of 'cling to' would be if your boat sinks, you know, the boat sank and lots of people were in the water clinging to pieces of wood, right?

所以它只是意味着为了活命紧紧抓住某物，你知道的，为了活命紧紧抓住。

So it just means holding on to something for your life, you know, holding on for your life.

‘Come along’的意思就是来参加某个活动。

Come along means just come come to something.

意思就是来参加派对。

Meaning come to the party.

Come round 是同一个意思。

Come round is the same thing.

来学校一趟，来我家一趟，意思就是拜访。

Come around to the school, come around to my house, it means visit.

Come through 可能指度过一段艰难时期。

Come through might be to kind of go through a difficult period.

所以英国正在度过经济衰退，或者我经历过、挺过了人生中一段非常艰难的时光，比如。

So England is coming through a recession or I went through I came through a really bad time in my life, for example.

想出一个主意。

To come up with an idea.

我就坐在这里，望着伦敦，就能想出各种点子。

I just sit here and I look out at London and I come up with ideas.

It means to think of an idea or to invent an idea.

我想出了一个关于这个播客的绝佳点子。

I came up with a really good idea for the podcast.

专注于某事。

显然，这意思是集中注意力在它上面，把全部注意力都放在那件事上，专心致志。

听卢克的英语播客让我能非常认真地专注于我的英语学习。

Listening to Luke's English podcast allows me to concentrate on my English really carefully.

我们再看看还有什么？

或者你可能会把一辆车改成一艘船。

Or you might convert let's see you might convert a car into a boat.

我不明白你为什么要这么做，但如果你给汽车做好绝缘处理，把发动机放在合适的位置，再加个舷外马达之类的，确实可以把汽车改成船。

I don't know why you would do that, but it's possible if you insulate the car and put an engine in the right place and that can give it an outboard motor or something you might convert a car into a boat.

我不知道自己怎么会想到这个例子，但当时我只能想到这个了。

That's two minutes of you speaking in an audio file, m p three, in a response to one of my episodes of Luke's English podcast.

So maybe if you listen to the episode about men and women and you had something to say about women drivers, or you have something to say about the way men are stupid and women are crazy or something, then you can record two minutes of audio, send it to me.

我会把这些音频都放进一集节目中，然后让所有听众投票选出他们最喜欢的一段。

而这并不只是指英语最棒的。
