大家好，各位听众。
Hello, listeners.
欢迎回到卢克的英语播客。
Welcome back to Luke's English podcast.
这一集的主题是关于热浪的俚语和表达方式，教你像一个汗流浃背的英国人那样谈论酷暑。
This episode, the title of this episode is something like hot idioms and expressions, how to talk about heat waves like a sweaty British man.
这是我此刻想到的标题。
That's the title I've come up with at this moment.
我不确定最终发布时会不会用这个标题，但目前我就先这么叫着了。
I don't know if that's the title I'm gonna use when I actually publish this, but that's the kind of working title I'm going with at the moment.
我不确定用这个标题是不是明智，毕竟从算法角度来说，这真的是最佳选择吗？
I'm not sure if it's wise to use that title for the episode because, you know, algorithmically, would that is that the best title?
我也不清楚。
I don't know.
当内容创作者，确实容易想太多，对吧？
It's easy to overthink these things, isn't it?
现在做内容，算法总在悄悄影响你的判断。
As a content creator these days, the algorithm starts to mess with your head a little bit.
你就会想，标题里到底该塞哪些关键词才好。
You just think, oh, what's the what should I need to use keywords in the title.
标题也不能太长。
It shouldn't be too long.
天哪。
Oh, dear.
不过，我就先用这个了。
But, anyway, this is what I'm going with.
热词和流行表达。
Hot idioms and expressions.
像一个汗流浃背的英国人那样谈论热浪。
How to talk about heat waves like a, brackets, sweaty British man.
你觉得这个标题吸引人吗？
Is that a very attractive title for you?
你可能正坐在那儿想，我不只想了解怎么谈论热浪，还想更深入一点。
You might have been sitting there thinking, I want to know how to talk about heat waves and not just how to talk about heat waves.
你也许还在想，卢克，到底什么是热浪？
And you might be thinking, but, Luke, what is a heat wave?
我马上告诉你。
I'll tell you that in a second.
我想知道怎么谈论高温天气，特别是英国人是怎么说的。
I want to know how to talk about hot weather, but specifically how to talk how a British man would talk about hot weather.
你不需要是个男人，也能用我待会教你的这些表达。
I don't think you need to be a man to use the the English I'm gonna be teaching you.
你明白我的意思吧。
You get the idea.
这不就是我吗？
That's me, isn't it?
我今天可不就是个汗流浃背的英国人嘛。
That I'm a sweaty British man today.
确实如此。
I am very much so.
一个汗流浃背的英国人。
A sweaty British man.
所以我会教你怎么谈论炎热天气，还有跟‘热’相关的词汇，以及一大堆包含‘热’字的习语和表达。
So I talk how to talk about hot weather, also vocab relating to the word hot, and also loads of idioms and expressions that include the word hot.
你明白我的意思吧。
You get the idea.
大概就是这个意思。
That's the general idea.
我准备了一些笔记，录的时候会照着念。
I've got some notes that I'm reading from, and I'll be reading from them as I record this.
好的。
Okay.
你觉得怎么样？
How does that sound?
听起来很棒，卢克。
That sounds brilliant, Luke.
好的。
Okay.
太好了。
Great.
你愿意加入，我真的很高兴。
I'm very happy that you're on board.
目前欧洲大部分地区正经历一场热浪，天气极其炎热。
So there is a heat wave over large parts of Europe at the moment, and it is extremely hot.
热浪就是指一段异常炎热的天气。
A heat wave, this is just a period of unusually hot weather.
我们管这个叫热浪。
We call it a heat wave.
热浪。
Heat wave.
不是热浪。
Not heat wave.
虽然拼写里有个 't'，但平时根本不会念出来，所以大家都说成热浪。
There is a t in there, but generally, that's not pronounced, so you end up with heat wave.
这可不是喉塞音。
That's not a glottal stop.
我说热浪的时候，可不是在学伦敦口音。
That heat wave so I'm not being a cockney, there.
大多数人就是这么念这个词的，heat wave。
That's just how most people would pronounce that word, heat wave.
一场热浪。
A heat wave.
是的，目前欧洲大部分地区都在经历热浪，天气热得不得了。
Yes, over large parts of Europe at the moment, and it's extremely hot.
热得简直像蒸笼一样。
It is absolutely boiling.
我快被烤熟了，宝贝。
I'm baking, babe.
我真是热得受不了了，老兄。
I am absolutely sweltering, mate.
这将是我在这一集里最后一次说这句话了。
That's the last time I'm gonna say that in this episode.
我知道我可能说得太多了，你们听的时候说不定会想：他又来了。
I understand that I probably say those things too much, and you might listen and think, oh, he's doing it again.
他又在说那句话了。
He's saying that thing again.
Dave，这天气热得跟烤炉一样。
It is baking Dave.
Dave是谁？
Who is Dave?
我真是热得受不了了，老兄。
I'm absolutely sweltering, mate.
如果你不明白我为啥老提这个，回头去听一期关于喜剧演员保罗·乔杜里的内容。
If you don't understand why I keep saying that, go back and listen to an old episode about Paul Chowdhury, the comedian.
总之，天气热得让人日子特别难熬。
Anyway, so the weather is so hot that it's making life really difficult.
大家的脾气都特别暴躁。
Tempers are high.
也就是说，脾气暴躁指的是你的情绪，尤其是容易生气的状态。
That means if your temper is high, it means your temper is like your mood, especially an angry mood.
所以如果大家脾气都暴躁，那就是说人人都容易发火，你看街上的人、骑自行车的，全都这样。
So if tempers are high, it means people are irritable, people are getting angry, and I mean everyone, you know, just like you can see it, people in the street, cyclists.
昨天我和儿子坐公交，车正沿着马路开。
I saw I was on a bus yesterday with my son, and the bus was going along the street.
有个骑自行车的，我不清楚是谁的责任。
And a cyclist I don't know who was at fault.
我也说不准谁对谁错。
I don't know who was wrong and who was right.
但那个骑车的人从街上冲过来，结果不得不挤在公交车和旁边一辆车之间的窄缝里。
But this there was a cyclist coming down the street, and he ended up having to squeeze through a very narrow gap between the bus and, I don't know, another car on this side.
在我看来，公交车只是正常行驶，是那个骑车的自己决定要钻那个缝。
It seemed to me the bus was just sort of doing its normal thing and that this cyclist had decided to try to squeeze through this gap.
结果他挤进去才发现这地方太危险了，顿时火冒三丈——这也难怪，他一巴掌拍在了公交车身上。
And then when he was in the gap, he realized that it was incredibly dangerous to be in this gap, and he just really got angry, maybe understandable, and he slapped the side of the bus.
他狠狠拍了公交车一侧。
He smacked the side of the bus.
但他这一拍根本没起到作用，我觉得司机根本没注意到。
Didn't really have the, the effect he intended because I think the driver didn't realize.
车上站着一位年纪不小的男士，突然间，车窗就在他耳边‘啪’地一声撞上来，把他吓了一大跳。
But there was a man, sort of fairly old man standing there on the bus, And then suddenly, the window just went smack right next to his head, and he kind of, like, got really got a really big shock.
可这位骑车的人真是气炸了。
But this poor cyclist was absolutely furious.
这种事在城市里本来就不稀奇，但天气一热，大家本来就容易烦躁，尤其是那些非得赶着上班的人，情绪更容易爆发。
I mean, that's the that's the sort of thing that does happen in cities anyway, but it seems to be amplified when the the weather is like this and people are just, like, really, really annoyed, especially people who have to do things, like if you've gotta get to work and stuff.
如果你运气好，不用上班，有空闲时间，那就能放松一点，去河边逛逛，甚至跳进河里游一游。
If you're lucky enough not to have to work, and you've got free time, then you can afford to relax a bit more and go and spend time down near the river and even jump into the river.
最近确实有人跳进河里游泳，挺常见的。
People have been jumping in and swimming in the river and stuff like that.
我感觉好像没人真在干活，反正我没怎么看到。
No one seems to be doing I I get the impression not that much work is being done.
这周我儿子的托儿所已经停了两天了。
The the the my son's creche has has been closed a couple of days this week.
明天也关门。
It's closed tomorrow.
一下子，什么事都难办了。
So suddenly, it becomes difficult to get things done.
做播客相关的事真的特别难推进。
It's it's been really difficult to work on podcast stuff.
大家都火气很大。
Tempers are high.
谁都没耐心。
Nobody has patience.
啥事都干不成。
It's hard to get anything done.
晚上特别热，睡不着觉。
It's really hot at night, and it's hard to sleep.
孩子们也挺遭罪的。
The kids are suffering.
我儿子胸口长了热疹，全是小红点，情况挺严重的。
My son has got a a heat rash on his chest, lots of little red spots on his chest, and it's it.
他觉得很痒，很不舒服。
It's bothering him.
老是忍不住去抓。
He keeps scratching it.
所以我经常给他洗凉水澡，他其实还挺喜欢的，就是想帮他降温，让皮肤凉快点，毕竟他的皮肤已经过敏了。
So one of the reasons why I keep giving him little cool showers, which he actually likes, just to try and cool him down, try cool his skin down because his skin has reacted.
就连晚上，他也睡不太安稳。
And even at night, he sort of doesn't sleep very well.
在床上翻来覆去，睡我们床，半夜三更就爬过来，在我们中间滚来滚去，边抓边哼哼，半睡半醒的。
He tosses and turns in the bed, our bed, because, of course, he just comes into our bed at midnight and then just kind of rolls around in the bed between us and scratches and complaints and things like that, half asleep.
我女儿还好，但我们得特别留心，确保她喝够水，别晒太阳，诸如此类的事。
Our daughter's okay, but we have to make sure we have to really be on the ball to make sure that she's drinking enough and that she's avoiding the sun and stuff like that.
她有几个朋友，她八岁了。
A couple of her friends she's eight years old.
她有几个朋友被热浪害得挺惨的。
A couple of her friends have been really badly affected by the heat.
其中一个都病倒了。
One per one of them was sick.
另一个差点站都站不稳。
Another one sort of couldn't stand up.
情况真的很严重。
It's it's pretty bad.
这影响了方方面面。
It affects everything.
跟你说一下，现在几点了？气温多少？
What is just to let you know, what time is it and what is the temperature?
我现在录这段话的时候是上午十一点四十五分。
So it's currently 11:45 in the morning as I'm recording this.
上午十一点四十五分。
11:45 in the morning.
我看看手机上的天气应用，显示现在气温是35度，体感温度却高达40度。
And if I look at my weather app on my phone, it says that it's currently 35 degrees with a feels like temperature of 40 degrees.
相对湿度还算可以。
Relative humidity is relatively okay.
现在是34%。
It's 34%.
这时候，你们当中有些听的人可能正端着冰饮，笑得不行。
Now some of you listening to this will just be laughing into your drink of choice, your cold drink of choice at this point.
你们肯定正捧着冰镇饮料笑呢，35度还感觉像40度。
You'll be laughing into your icy beverage, like, 35 degrees with a feels like temperature of 40 degrees.
湿度才34%。
34% humidity.
别逗我了，Luke，你可是Luke's English Podcast的主持人。
Don't make me laugh, Luke from Luke's English podcast.
一个汗流浃背的英国男人。
Sweaty British man.
我敢说，世界其他地方的气温肯定比这高多了，但也许这种天气在当地算正常，甚至挺正常的。
I'm sure that in other parts of the world, it's much hotter than this, but, you know, it's that may maybe normal or maybe even be normal.
我说的是正常。
I say normal.
我也不太确定。
I don't know.
但在世界某些地方，这种天气已经持续了许多年，人们也就慢慢适应了，发展出了自己的文明。
But in some part parts of the world, it's been like that for many, many, many years, and you sort of, like, developed your civilization.
整个文明都是在这种环境下成长起来的，至于具体怎么做到的，我也不太清楚。
Your entire civilization has developed in that kind of environment, and you've I I don't know.
我不确定这么说对不对，但也许当地人早就想出了各种应对办法，比如建筑更注重隔热，炎热成了日常生活的一部分。
May I I don't know if this is correct, but perhaps you've developed solutions, partial solutions, like buildings might be better designed to deal with the heat, and just generally, it's just part of normal life.
我不是说这样就更容易了。
I'm not saying that makes it any easier.
我知道有些地方的高温已经严重到难以承受，而且还在不断加剧，情况真的很糟糕。
I know that in some parts of the world, it's just, like, unsustainably hot and is getting hotter, and it's it's awful.
不过，如果你那边情况更糟，我真的很理解你。
But, so my you have my sympathy if it's if it's worse for you out there.
当然，现在世界上其他地方也有一些地方异常寒冷，比如南半球正值冬季，可能正经历我们所说的寒潮，而不是热浪。
Then, of course, there are people in other parts of the world at this time where it's, like, unusually cold as well because maybe in the Southern Hemisphere, if it's winter, you might be going through, like, the opposite of a heat wave, which is what we call a cold snap, I suppose.
也许那里冷得非同寻常，你正为此受苦。
And maybe it's abnormally unusually cold, and you're suffering from that.
但今天早上，气温就已经是35度，到了下午和晚上，体感温度更是高达40度。
But today, in the morning, and it generally gets worse in the afternoon and in the evening, 35 degrees feels like 40 degrees.
所以对我来说，这感觉就是40度。
So as far as I'm concerned, it's 40 degrees.
我还有些数据要告诉你。
I've got other data for you.
露点温度是17摄氏度。
The dew point is 17 degrees centigrade.
我不太明白这代表什么。
I don't know what that means.
露点是什么意思？
What is the dew point?
露水通常是出现在物体表面的小水珠。
Dew is normally droplets of water that appears on things.
一般早上会看到露水。
Normally, you get dew in the morning.
一大早出门，发现草地上湿漉漉的，那就是露水，d-e-w。
When you come out of a house early in the morning and the grass is a bit wet, that's dew, d e w.
那露点到底指的是什么？
So what is the dew point?
我不太清楚。
I don't know.
现在是17摄氏度。
It's 17 degrees cent.
我其实不太懂这个数值代表什么。
I don't really understand that.
不过，现在真是热得不行。
Anyway, it's really hot.
今天最高能到多少度？
How hot will it get today?
现在是这个温度，但待会儿会升到大概41度。
So that's the current temperature, but it's gonna go up to about 41 degrees.
体感温度得有42、43度。
Feels like 42 or 43.
这种天气已经持续好久了。
It's been like this for ages.
看样子要降温了。
It looks like it's gonna dip.
会有很多雷阵雨，暴雨加雷电，之后气温才会回落到比较正常的水平。
There'll be lots of thunderstorms, tons of rain and thunderstorms, and then it's the the temperature's gonna drop, to something a bit more normal.
但我听说过后又会再热起来。
But then I've heard it's gonna go back up again.
也许再过一两周，天气又会回到这种状态。
Maybe in a in another week or two, we will be back to this.
今晚是卢克英语播客。
Tonight tonight on Luke's English podcast.
听起来确实就是这样，对吧？
It did sound like that, didn't it?
今晚半夜，特别是凌晨两点到五点你本该睡觉的时候，体感温度还会达到30度。
Tonight, the temperature, let's have a look at in the middle of the night when we should be sleeping from two till five, it's gonna feel like 30 degrees.
虽然没其他地方那么夸张，但怎么说呢，这儿现在的温度比往年同期高出差不多17度。
Again, not as bad as in some other places, but, anyway, it's something like 17 degrees hotter than it normally is at this time of year in this part of the world.
巴黎对这种高温根本没什么准备。
Paris is not very well prepared for this kind of heat.
是的。
Yes.
我住在巴黎。
I live in Paris.
有些人还是没意识到。
Some people still don't realize.
他们以为英国人就住在英国。
They think British man lives in Britain.
我住在巴黎。
I live in Paris.
在英国，比如伦敦——那是我以前住的地方——情况也差不多，可能稍微凉快那么一两度。
In The UK, in London in London, let's say, like, which is where I used to live, it's more or less the same, maybe a couple of degrees, better.
但巴黎和伦敦，这两座城市对这种高温都准备不足。
But Paris and London, both cities are not very well prepared for this kind of heat.
大多数地方，房间、公寓里都没装空调，而且这里历来也不怎么用空调。
Air conditioning is not installed in most places, rooms, apartments, and there there isn't much history of air conditioning.
这个国家倒是有些历史底蕴。
There's there's history in this country.
当然，每个地方都有自己的历史，但空调从来就不是其中的一部分。
There's his there's a lot of history, of course, just like there is everywhere, but the air conditioning doesn't really factor into it.
如果你上一门法国历史课，第二单元。
If you go if you take a French history course, unit two.
第一单元是法国大革命。
Unit one, the French Revolution.
第二单元是空调。
Unit two, air conditioning.
不是的。
No.
巴黎的历史里根本就没有空调这回事。
There is no air conditioning in the history of Paris.
我的意思是，它从来就不是夏天生活的一部分，也从未是。
I mean, it's it's it's not an ordinary part of summer life, and it never has been.
过去，空调确实没必要，但如今，如果我们还像以前那样生活，不采取任何应对措施，就越来越难熬了。
Previously, it it's air conditioning has not been necessary, really, but more and more, it's becoming unsustainable to live in this part of the world in the way that we did before without taking measures to deal with it.
目前没人知道该怎么解决这个问题。
Nobody is really sure how to deal with it.
对了，我觉得巴黎才是赢家。
By the way, I think Paris is the winner.
不是吗？
No?
巴黎不是赢家吗？
Isn't Paris the winner?
我看到一条社交媒体上的帖子，不过也不知道是不是真的。
I saw a social media post, so who knows if it's true.
但上面显示了欧洲几个城市的气温，巴黎是最热的。
But it showed the temperatures in different cities in in Europe, and Paris was the hottest.
没错。
Yes.
我不明白自己为啥对这事这么高兴。
I don't know why I'm so happy about that.
不管怎样，能在某方面拿第一总是好事，对吧？
It's always good to be number one in some regard, isn't it?
不是。
No.
没这回事。
It's not.
这次不是。
Not in this case.
当然，显而易见的问题是，这其实是个大规模、长期性的难题，跟整个气候状况脱不了干系，对吧？
Of course, the elephant in the room, which means the thing that perhaps the big thing that that perhaps we're not talking about, the elephant in the room is that this is a large scale, long term problem, isn't it, of course, with the climate in general?
这事我们早就知道。
And we've all known about it for ages.
各种预测我们都听过。
We've all been aware of the predictions.
新闻报道也看了不少。
We've all read the news reports.
政府和企业许下的承诺，我们也都清楚，可结果呢？
We're all aware of the pledges that were made by governments and businesses, and yet here we are.
我们是不是已经错过了应对气候问题的最后机会？
Are we past the point of no return for the climate?
更大的图景到底是什么？
What is the bigger picture?
这事儿真够吓人的。
It's fairly frightening stuff.
真的很可怕。
It's frightening.
让人特别沮丧。
It's depressing.
简直让人气愤。
It's infuriating.
令人极度不安。
It's deeply disturbing.
在世界上这么多问题之上，这个问题可能是最严重的，甚至可能引发其他诸多危机。
And on top of all the other problems in the world, this one is maybe the biggest and could even be the driver of lots of other issues.
是的。
Yes.
好吧。
Okay.
这确实有点让人不安和沮丧。
That's a bit disturbing and depressing.
我在其他地方注意到，又回到了空调这个问题上。
I have found in other places going back to air conditioning again.
我在一些地方发现，空调已经普及多年，制冷效果相当不错。
I have found in other places where air conditioning has been normal for years, the air con is pretty good.
你懂的。
You know?
比如很多公寓、住宅之类的，空调都做得很好，早就融入了建筑设计里。
Like, a lot of apartments, homes, and stuff are normally quite well air conditioned, and it's just sort of built into the design of places.
比如在美国，空调无处不在，人们都觉得理所当然。
For example, in The US, air con is everywhere, and you take it for granted.
东京很多地方也是这样。
It's the same in many parts of Tokyo, for example.
但在这里，人们最近才意识到需要空调。
But here, it's only recently that people have realized they need it.
你可以买到便携式的空调设备。
You can get portable air conditioning units.
你得去附近的五金店，就是那种卖冰箱、洗衣机之类东西的地方。
You have to go down to your local sort of hardware shop, you know, the the sort of place where they sell fridges and washing machines and things.
现在空调成了他们卖得最火的产品，但质量并不怎么样。
And now air conditioning units are perhaps the the hottest products that they're selling, but they're not the best ones.
而且，空调本身也是问题的一部分，对吧？
Also, air conditioning is is part of the problem, isn't it?
它对环境也不好，只是个局部的、短期的解决办法，我觉得这反而加剧了极端天气的根本原因。对了，刚才有只黄蜂差点飞进我开着的窗户。
It's also bad for the environment, and it's it's a very local and short term solution, which I think actually contributes to the main root cause of this kind of weather, and there's a wasp that nearly flew into my open window.
抱歉打断一下。
Sorry for the interruption.
所以没黄蜂。
So no wasp.
你不可能在卢克的英语播客里。
You can't be on Luke's English podcast.
什么？对。
The what yes.
要是真发生了，来只黄蜂。
If that happens, a wasp.
你知道的，黄蜂，一种可能会蜇你我的昆虫，就在这儿。
You know, a wasp, an insect that can sting you or me in this particular case.
它干嘛要这么做？
Why would it do that?
我干脆蜇他一下。
I'm gonna just sting that guy.
我不明白它为啥要这么做？
I don't know why would why would it do that?
我太热了。
I'm too hot.
黄蜂也会觉得热吗？
Are wasps too hot?
黄蜂现在怎么样？
How are the wasps?
从来没人提起黄蜂。
No one ever talks about the wasps.
大家总在说蜜蜂。
Everyone's always talking about the bees.
蜜蜂啊，这个蜜蜂那个蜜蜂的。
Bees, this bees, that.
哦，蜜蜂，蜜蜂，全是蜜蜂。
Oh, the bees, the bees, the bees.
根本没人谈黄蜂。
No one's ever talking about wasps.
黄蜂其实挺好的，没什么问题。
The wasps are like, actually, we're fine.
总之，黄蜂，h-u-a-n-g-fēng，黄蜂。
Anyway, wasp, w a s p w a s p.
它们看着有点像蜜蜂，但不是蜜蜂，而且据我所知，它们想蜇你多少次都行。
They look a bit like bees, but they're not bees, and they can sting you as many times as they want as far as I'm I'm aware.
再说，我房间里没装空调，比如在这间舱房里，可能有些人还不知道，你们到底在抱怨什么？
Anyway, I don't have an air conditioner in my room, for example, here at the in the pod room because some of you might not realize, you know, some of you, what are you complaining about?
卢克，你房间不是有空调吗？
You Luke, don't you have air conditioning?
没有。
No.
我也没有。
I don't.
你干嘛不买个空调呢？
Why don't you just get an air conditioner?
首先，安装一台空调特别麻烦，而且价格很贵。
First of all, it's very complicated and expensive to have one installed.
我可以买个便携式的，但我没买。
I could get a portable one, but I haven't.
大多数商店里的空调都卖断货了。
They they're all sold out in most shops.
如果我要买的话，好的空调真的特别贵。
And if I was to buy one I mean, they're very expensive, like good ones.
我要买的话，也会先给家里买一台。
If I was gonna get one, I'd get one for the home.
对吧？
Right?
我又不是有钱人。
And I'm not made of money.
你懂的。
You know?
我又不是有钱人。
I'm not made of money.
我可没本事这么随便花钱。
I can't afford to just splash the cash like that.
关键是，这种热浪来的时候，通常都是短暂的，我们也就熬一熬，等它过去就行了。
And and the thing is, right, we when these sorts of heat waves happen, normally, they're short term, and we just sort of cope with it until it's finished.
对吧？
Right?
所以我们只是尽量熬过这些不正常的天气。
So we just try to cope with these periods, which aren't normal.
而且一旦出现，一般也就持续一周左右。
And when they do happen, they're usually only about a week long.
这次热浪我已经持续了九到十天了，我觉得是这样。
This particular heat wave has been going on for about nine or ten days, I think it is.
我们总以为，也许明天就会结束了。
And we keep thinking, oh, maybe it's gonna stop.
这热浪什么时候能结束？
Is it gonna stop?
我们去看天气预报。
We look check the weather.
不会停的。
No.
它还会继续下去。
It's just gonna keep on going.
而且，情况还会更糟。
In fact, oh, it's gonna get worse.
这热气几乎无处可逃。
The heat is inescapable, more or less.
我这儿附近有家咖啡馆，里面有空调。
I mean, there is a cafe near here which has air conditioning.
我昨天去那儿了。
I went there yesterday.
那还不错。
That was not bad.
就是人太多。
But it's crowded.
大家都往那儿跑。
Everyone's going there.
到了下午，空调好像根本不起作用，还是闷热得一身汗。
And then in the afternoon, it seems the air conditioning doesn't really seem to work, and it's still all hot and sweaty.
我本来想说，哎呀，我是不是说得太多了，但这期节目说的其实就是这事。
I would say, oh, I'm talking about this too much, but that this is the whole topic of the comp the the episode.
明白吧？
Okay?
如果你觉得，哎呀别老聊这热天气了。
So if you're like, oh, stop talking about the hot weather.
不行，我偏要聊。
No, won't.
这整个就是本期播客的主题。
That's the whole subject of this podcast episode.
我知道我一直在抱怨，可有人过得比我艰难多了。
And again, I know I'm complaining and there are people who are far worse off than I am.
其实我还算幸运的，身体还算健康。
I'm actually one of the lucky ones because I'm fairly healthy.
我买得起风扇，这儿也开着一个。
I can afford stuff like fans, and I do have a fan running here.
我不确定你能不能听到背景里那种嗡嗡的转动声。
I don't know if you can actually hear that sound, that sort of whizzy, like, kind of whirring sound in the background.
这期节目里可能有点背景噪音。
Maybe a bit of background noise in this episode.
我不太确定。
I don't know.
这会影响录音效果吗？
Is that affecting the recording?
我确实开着个风扇，这简直是救命稻草。
I do have a fan going, which is an absolute lifesaver.
半小时前它没电了，瞬间我就感觉体温直线上升。
It ran out of battery about thirty minutes ago and instantly, like, my body temperature just went like, woah.
这风扇真挺管用的。
That's that is doing a really good job.
所以我把它插到这边了。
So I've plugged this in over here.
希望它能一直运转下去，别半路又罢工了。
So, hopefully, that's gonna keep going and it doesn't conk out at some point.
我能买得起风扇、空调这类东西，至少还有选择。
I could afford stuff like fans and air conditioners, and I have options.
你知道吧。
You know?
所以相对而言，对我来说没那么糟，比很多人好多了。
So relatively speaking, it's not as bad for me as it is for so many other people.
比如今天早上，我看到街上有人在修路。
For example, I saw some guys in the street doing roadworks this morning.
他们正在铺沥青，修复之前施工过的路段，就在那儿忙着干活。
They were, like, adding tarmac to a section of road where there'd been some work, and they're kind of, like, just doing work on the road.
你知道的。
You know?
他们穿着防护服，干着体力活。
And they were doing manual labor in protective clothing.
每个人都戴着手套。
They had gloves on.
有一个人戴了安全帽吗？
Did one of them have a helmet?
他们都有戴安全帽吗？
Were they wearing helmets?
还穿着防护长裤。
They had protective trousers.
你懂的。
You know?
天啊。
God.
肯定特别难受。
It must have been awful.
我知道自己还算幸运，但确实挺惨的。
So I'm aware that things are relatively fine for me, but still it is pretty awful.
你现在在哪？
Where are you?
你们那儿热得发烫吗？
Is it boiling to where you are?
这波热浪席卷了大半个欧洲，我这儿很多听众都在那儿。
This heat wave covers a lot of Europe, and I have a lot of listeners here.
你们应该深有体会。
So you may know exactly what I'm talking about.
我们当然有应对的办法。
We have ways of dealing with it, of course.
每个人都有自己的小招数，想方设法减轻这种恶劣天气的影响。
We've all got little ways of trying to limit the impacts of this terrible weather.
比如，尽量避开阳光，这不用说。
For example, avoid the sun, obviously.
比如说，我带着儿子散步的时候——对，就是那个s-o-n，你知道的——我可不是什么宇宙恒星，虽然他本身就是一个小宇宙。
But for example, if I'm walking down the street with my son, that's s o n, as you know, I don't have just I don't I have my own personal cosmic star that I can although he is a cosmic star in his own way.
我在说什么呢？
What am I talking about?
对。
Yes.
避开阳光。
Avoiding the sun.
我的意思是天上的太阳，s-u-n，当然了。
I mean, the sun in the sky, s u n, of course.
避开它。
Avoiding that.
所以如果我们一起走在街上，不管是和我女儿、儿子，还是和我妻子，我都无所谓。
So if we're walking down the street together, if I'm with my daughter or something or my son, if I'm with my wife, I don't care.
当然，和我妻子在一起时也一样，不过这周她一直在上班。
No, of course with my wife as well, although this week she's been at work.
我们走在街上时，会特意找阴凉的地方走，尽量不直接晒太阳。
If we're walking down the street trying to find the shade, walk in the shade, you know, try not to walk in direct sunlight.
很多人可能会想：这还用说吗？
For many of you thinking, well, duh, obviously.
但作为一个英国人，在阳光下，阳光通常特别有吸引力，对吧？
But as an English man, in the sunshine, it can be the sun is very attractive normally, Right?
所以对英国人来说，六月天一放晴，就特别想出去晒太阳。
So typically for an English person, when the sun comes out in June, you get you want to be in the sun.
都想补点维生素D。
You want to get that vitamin d.
你当然要以安全的方式多晒晒太阳，因为一年里有好几个月我们都缺阳光，那种美好又灿烂的阳光。
You want to expose yourself, obviously, in a safe way, but you do want to go out and get some sun on your skin because it just for so many months of the year, we are starved of sunshine, wonderful, glorious sunshine.
所以我们想跑到公园里，脱掉T恤，躺下来晒晒太阳。
So we want to get out and take our t shirt off in the park and lie down and do some sunbathing.
是啊。
Oh, yeah.
终于等到这一天了。
Finally.
好好享受吧。
Soak it up.
这本来就是我们平时会做的事。
That seem that's normally what we would do.
但在这类情况下，你必须避开阳光。
But, no, in these conditions, you must avoid the sun.
所以走路时要找阴凉处，过马路也要特意绕到有阴影的一边。
So finding the shade as you walk down the street, crossing the road to to make sure you're walking in the shade.
展开剩余字幕（还有 480 条）
等公交车的时候，我得转过身，确保我儿子站在我影子里。
When you're standing at the bus stop, I have to turn my body to make sure my son is standing in my shadow.
要是没阴凉，公交站又挤，我就得想各种办法，别让太阳照到他身上。
If there's no shade for us, if the bus stop is crowded, you know, we've got to I've got to find ways to make sure the sun isn't on him.
能洗凉水澡就洗，一天到晚，甚至夜里，都要经常冲凉水澡。
Taking cool showers when possible, cool and cold showers regularly throughout the day before bed, even in the night.
一感觉要热得受不了，就赶紧去冲个澡，至少也得把脚泡在凉水里，或者往脚上喷点凉水。
It's like you start to overheat, just get in the shower or at least dip your feet, spray cold water on your feet.
当然要开风扇。
Use a fan, of course.
多喝水。
Drink plenty of water.
他喝着水瓶里的水，还说‘干杯’，这声音听起来简直像达斯·维达。
Cheers, he says, as he drinks as he drinks water from his water bottle, which makes makes me sound like Darth Vader.
达斯·维达遇上这么热的天，会怎么反应？
How would Darth Vader react to hot weather?
在这种天气下当达斯·维达一定很难受。
It must be difficult being Darth Vader in these conditions.
帕尔帕廷皇帝，我有个迫切的请求。
Emperor Palpatine, I have a desperate request.
我能不穿这身盔甲吗？求你了。
Can I can I stop wearing this suit, please?
实在太热了。
It's just too hot.
维达大人，你对温度的执着真是让人无语。
Lord Vader, your sad devotion to temperature whatever.
如果帕尔帕廷皇帝是个像样的西斯导师，早就该让维达脱掉这身装备了。
If emperor Palpatine was any kind of decent Sith master, he'd let Vader go around without the suit.
他们就不能给他弄个便携式巴克塔治疗舱吗？
Can't they just hook up some sort of portable bacta tank for him?
我也不清楚。
I don't know.
达斯·维达在这种环境下真是遭罪啊。
It must be a nightmare for Darth Vader in the poor Darth Vader.
可怜的达斯·维达。
Poor Darth Vader.
我们为什么会对维达产生同情？
Why are we sympathetic to Vader?
他是个高贵的、杀人如麻的邪恶暴君。
He's an honorable, murderous, evil tyrant.
根本不存在这种人。
Doesn't exist.
是啊，没错。
Oh, yeah.
说得对。
That's that's right.
总之，多喝水。
Anyway, drink plenty of water.
用小喷雾瓶。
Use little spray bottles.
就是往皮肤上喷点水雾。
You know, spray spraying watery mist on the skin.
对吧？
Right?
很明显，出汗就是这个原理。
Obviously, that's what sweat does.
它通过让身体变湿来降温，你也可以用这种小喷雾瓶来辅助。
It cools you down by making you wet, but you can use this little spray bottle as well.
大量出汗的时候，更得多喝水，补充身体因出汗和其他消耗流失的水分。
When you sweat a lot, that's another reason why you've got to drink lots of water to to replace the the the fluids that, in your body that's being used as for sweat and other things.
用小喷雾瓶。
Use little spray bottles.
用便携小风扇。
Use mini portable fans.
我们给孩子们买了这种小风扇，挂在脖子上，吹出一股凉风对着脸。
The kids have got we bought these fans for the kids, and they hang them around their necks, and they blow air blow a little stream of air up onto their faces.
效果很不错。
It's quite good.
穿轻便的衣服。
Light clothing.
别做太剧烈的运动。
Don't do anything too strenuous.
放慢节奏，别太累着自己。
Just slow down and take it easy.
话虽这么说，我本人还是会做些剧烈运动的。
Although saying that, doing something strenuous I will be doing strenuous things.
周五我们要开车去乡下，我估计自己会变成一个‘汗流浃背’的司机。
On Friday, we're gonna drive to the countryside, And I imagine it'll be I will be a a kind of liquid driver.
这说法是不是有点怪？
Is that that's weird.
这话听起来真怪。
A weird thing to say.
我会变成个‘汗流浃背的司机’。
I'll be a liquid driver.
我的意思是，从出发那一刻起，我就知道会一身是汗。
I just mean I'm gonna be drenched in sweat, I can tell, from the beginning of that journey.
车里有空调，但我得搬东西，肯定一身汗。
The car has air conditioning, but, I'll be drenched in sweat because I'm gonna have to load the car.
得下地下室搬行李，再提上楼。
And that means going down to get going down to the basement to get the suitcase, taking that up the stairs.
我们公寓没有电梯。
We don't have a lift in our apartment.
提上楼让我老婆装箱，再去拿儿童安全座椅，装进车里，再搬张桌子，还有其他一堆东西，楼上楼下跑个不停。
Taking it up the stairs so my wife can pack it and then going and getting the car seat for the, you know, the the child seat and then installing that in the car, going and grabbing this table that we're gonna take and then all these other bits and pieces, lots of going up and downstairs carrying things.
我觉得我肯定会湿透了。
I'm gonna be absolutely drenched, I think.
我们得自己照顾好自己。
I have to look we have to look after ourselves.
我会好好照顾自己。
I will look after myself.
我会采取适当的预防措施。
I'll take the right precautions.
别做事太着急。
Don't do things too quickly.
慢慢来就好。
Just take things slowly.
睡觉时可以带冰瓶或冰袋，但别贴得太近。
Take frozen bottles or ice packs to bed, but don't hold them too close.
你知道这个吗？
Do you know about this one?
拿一个空的两升矿泉水瓶，装满自来水，拧紧盖子，放进冰箱冷冻。
Take a an empty bottle of water, like a two liter bottle of water, empty, fill it up with tap water, seal it, put it in the freezer.
冻好之后，瓶子里就变成一大块冰了。
When it's frozen, it's a big block of ice, basically, inside the bottle.
用毛巾包起来，睡前放在床上，让床的那块地方变凉。
You wrap it in a towel, and maybe before you go to bed, you put it on the bed, and it makes the bed that section that little part of the bed.
那里会形成一小片凉区，你可以躺上去休息一会儿，之后就把它放在身边。
There's a little cool patch there that you can lie on for for a while, and then you just kind of have it next to you.
我觉得没必要抱得太紧，如果你全身都很热，唯独一个地方冻得发冷，这恐怕不太健康。
You don't I I think you shouldn't really hug it too tightly because if you if you're really hot, if most of your body's really hot, but then there's one small local area that's freezing, I'm not sure that's very healthy.
对吧？
Right?
身体会一下子反应过来：等等，不对劲。
Because your body's like, woah.
这明显不均衡啊。
This isn't not this isn't there's an imbalance here.
不过，睡前让冰瓶陪着睡觉，感觉还挺舒服的。
But it's nice to have the icy cold bottle in the bed with you.
你可以来回挪动它，让床的不同部位都凉快下来，然后躺上去睡。
You can kind of move it around and cool down different parts of the bed that you can then sleep on.
你可以用手拿着它，这样能帮你降温。
You can kind of hold it with your hand, and that helps to cool you down.
只要把手放在上面，就能帮你降温，大概也能让血液凉下来。
Just just putting your hand on it can help to cool you down, helps to cool, I guess, the blood.
我不太确定。
I don't know.
你现在可能还有别的办法。
Now you you might have other tips.
如果你有在极端高温下保持凉爽的小妙招，欢迎分享一下。
If you do have other tips for staying cool in very, very hot conditions, please do share them.
我知道有些人会把床单打湿，拧干到不滴水，然后盖在身上睡，或者挂在风扇前面，又或者把冰镇的水瓶放在风扇前，让风吹出冷气。
I understand there are things like taking a sheet and making it wet and then squeezing the water out so it's damp and then sleeping underneath that or hanging it in front of a fan or putting a ice cold bottle of water in front of a fan so it blows cold air in your direction.
这类小技巧其实挺多的。
There's all these sorts of little tips.
把脚泡在一小盆凉水里，这招挺管用的。
Sitting with your feet in a in a little, bowl of cool water, that's quite good.
在家的时候，我有双室内拖鞋，穿着它走动效果特别好，因为地板是热的。
Even stuff like at home, I have these sandals, indoor sandals, and I find if I walk around with the sandals on, that makes a big difference because the floor is warm.
如果光着脚走路，脚反而不容易凉下来。
And if I walk around in bare feet, it seems my feet don't cool down.
但只要穿着拖鞋，脚和地板之间那点隔层，就能帮我去热。
But if I have the sandals on, just that little bit of insulation between my foot and the floor helps helps me to cool down.
我知道，不是每个人的情况都一样。
Now I know it's not the same for all of you out there.
很多人所在的地方要冷得多。
Many of you are in much colder places.
我之前说过这话了吗？
Did I say that already?
我想我已经说过了。
I think I have said that already.
所以我们彼此都羡慕对方。
So we we we envy each other.
如果你现在所处的地方太冷了，咱们其实是在互相羡慕，对吧？
If you are living in a in a situation that's too cold right now, we envy each other, don't we?
比如，我有个来自阿根廷的听众说，他们那儿现在是冬天，冷得受不了。
And, for example, I had an Argentinian listener who said they were in winter right now and complained it was too cold.
我就说，我真愿意把我的二十度分给他们。
And I said I would gladly give them 20 of my degrees.
要是能行就好了。
I wish I could.
不过，不管天气怎么样，这周我还是得给你们做一期节目。
Anyway, despite these conditions, I need to do an episode this week for you.
我手头还有几期节目在准备，但现在还不是发布的时候。
I have a couple of other episodes in the pipeline, but it's not the right time for them to be released.
所以这周我得找点别的内容，就一直琢磨着之前计划好的那期节目。
So I needed something for this week, and I just kept trying to work on an episode that I was planning to do.
说实话，我原计划做一期用短篇故事学英语的节目，但还没准备好，所以没法做。
I was to be honest, I was planning to do learn English with a short story, and I was just it's not ready so I can't do it.
今天是我唯一能录的时间，明天托儿所关门。
Today's the only day I can the creche is closed tomorrow.
没关系。
It's alright.
听起来我好像在找借口。
It sounds like I'm making excuses.
其实我只是想给你提供一些背景，解释为什么这期节目这么随意。
I'm more just kind of giving you context really for this rambling episode.
所以我想，不如趁这期节目，多教一些跟‘热’相关的英语词汇，特别是高温天气下的常用表达，比如热浪来临时人们会说的话，还有大量包含‘hot’这个词的习语和短语。
So I thought it would be a good opportunity then in this episode to teach you loads of English vocab related to things being hot, especially hot weather, the things people say during a heat wave like this, and then lots of idioms and expressions which include the word hot.
这些表达不只是形容物体热，还能用来描述各种其他情况，但都用了‘hot’这个词。
And those are to describe not just hot things, but to describe all sorts of other things, other situations, but they include the word hot.
这类表达的实际数量，可能比你想象的要多得多。
And there are a lot more of those those expressions than you might expect.
当然，单看‘hot’这个词，好像特别简单。
Now, obviously, the word hot on its own seems to be a really easy word.
对吧？
We right?
谁都懂‘hot’是什么意思。
We all know everyone knows what the word hot means.
这是学英语时最早接触的词之一。
It's one of the most it's one of the earliest words you learn in English.
别碰那个，烫。
Don't touch that.
这天气真热，或者今天热得不行。
It's hot or, oh, it's very hot today.
热和冷。
Hot and cold.
对吧？
Right?
所以，没错，'hot'这个词主要用作形容词，但它的用法不止描述温度，还有好几种其他含义。
So, yes, the word is mostly used as an adjective with a few different meanings or uses as well, not just to describe temperature.
但更重要的是，还有很多习语和复合名词都包含了'hot'这个形容词。
But importantly, there are also loads of idioms and compound nouns which include the adjective hot.
这些我都称之为固定的多词表达。
These are all what I'm calling fixed multi word expressions.
我待会儿会讲到大约三十个这样的表达。
I'll cover about 30 of them later in this episode.
天啊，这集得讲好久了。
God, it's gonna end up being long.
我早就看出来了。
I can tell.
先给你们举几个例子看看。
Here's a taste of some of those expressions.
比如说，我们会说'hot property'这种说法。
So we talk about things like hot property.
他可是抢手货。
He's hot property.
卖得特别火。
To sell like hotcakes.
一堆空话。
A load of hot air.
是的。
Yeah.
这有点说不清道不明。
It's a sort of I don't know.
我播客的批评者可能会说：我听了卢克的英语播客，但觉得内容空洞，没什么实质东西。
A critic of my podcast might say, I listened to Luke's English podcast, and I didn't feel it there was anything of substance to it.
在我看来，这纯粹就是一堆空话，还长达三个小时。
It just seemed like a load of hot air to me, and it was three hours long.
趁热打铁。
Strike to strike while the iron is hot.
共享办公和偷车接线。
Hot desking and to hot wire a car.
我稍后会详细讲这些表达，还有很多其他的。
So I'll go into detail about those expressions and many more later in the episode.
你正在收听卢克的英语播客，各位。
You're listening to Luke's English podcast, everyone.
大家好。
Hello.
现在热浪来袭，我正好在聊‘热’这个词。
And there's a heat wave, and I'm talking about things being hot.
所以，形容词‘热’可以有好几种意思。
So hot, the word hot, the adjective, can mean a few different things.
很明显，它可以指温度高，比如食物，你放进微波炉加热之后就变热了。
Obviously, it can mean high temperature, but also for food, obviously, the temperature of the food, you put it in the microwave so it's hot.
对吧？
Right?
从冰箱里拿出来，别让它凉着。
Take it out of the cold take it out of the fridge.
它现在是凉的。
It's cold.
放进微波炉加热一下，让它热起来。
Put it in the microwave to make it hot, to heat it up.
食物是这样，还有就是指辣的味道。
Food but also in terms of when food is spicy.
对吧？
Right?
比如印度菜通常都很辣。
Like, Indian food is often hot.
里面加了很多辣椒。
There's a lot of chili in there.
所以我们说这是道很辣的咖喱。
So we say it's hot, a really hot curry.
‘Hot’也可以形容人很有魅力。
Hot can mean sexually attractive.
‘Hot’还可以表示引发强烈情感。
Hot can mean causing strong feelings.
‘Hot’能指让人陷入困境，也能表示流行、时髦或成功。
Hot can mean making things difficult, and hot can also mean popular, fashionable, or successful.
那我们现在就来详细看看这些用法，好吗？
So let's look at those things right now in a bit more detail, shall we?
之后，我们再聊聊人们在天气特别热的时候会说什么，尤其是英国人常说的那些表达。
And then after that, we'll look at things people say, typical things that especially British people say in English when the weather is really hot.
不过首先，我们先弄清楚形容词‘hot’的基本含义。
But first, those basic definitions of the adjective hot.
第一个意思是‘热’，指温度高。
So first one is hot meaning high temperature.
这个用法很明显，大家都懂。
This is the one that obvious is obvious.
这个词用来形容温度很高的东西。
The word is used to describe things that have a high temperature.
比如，今天天气真热。
For example, it's hot today.
暖气片烫得很。
The radiator is hot.
小心点。
Be careful.
茶还烫着呢。
The tea is hot.
我的笔记本电脑都发烫了。
My laptop is hot.
希望别过热了。
I hope it doesn't overheat.
我们还有个词叫‘heat’。
We've also got the word heat as well.
我待会儿再讲这个。
I'll talk about that in a minute.
我也可以这么说。
I could also say as well this.
我们有‘热’和‘冷’这两个词。
We've got hot and cold.
对吧？
Right?
没错。
Right.
热和冷。
Hot and cold.
那极端情况是什么呢？
And what are the extremes?
如果一样东西特别热，我们该怎么说？
If something is extremely hot, we'd say it's what?
其实说得准确点，我们有好几种说法，比如闷热、酷热，但说到气候，一般都用‘热得发烫’。
It's absolutely well, we've got a few, sweltering, right, baking, but boiling is normally the one for climate.
所以热，真的是热得发烫。
So hot, absolutely boiling.
我们不会说‘非常发烫’，因为‘发烫’本身已经是极端表达。
We don't say it's very boiling because it's an extreme adjective.
对于极端形容词，我们通常会用别的副词来修饰。
So with extreme adjectives, we tend to use other adverbs.
绝对、完全，就是热得发烫。
Absolutely, completely, absolutely boiling.
所以我们说热，可以是‘挺热’，‘非常热’，‘极端热’，或者‘热得发烫’。
So we'd say it's hot, it's very hot, it is extremely hot, or it is absolutely boiling.
对吧？
Right?
没那么热的时候，我们会说‘暖和’。
A little bit less hot, you'd say it's warm.
有点暖和。
It's warm.
这样通常挺好的。
And that's normally good.
对吧？
Right?
这儿暖洋洋的，是不是？
Oh, it's nice and warm, isn't it?
这儿暖和得很。
It's nice and warm in here.
说实话，有点热。
It's a bit hot, to be honest.
你能把窗户打开吗？
Can you open the window?
然后你就把窗户打开了。
And you open the window.
一股滚烫的热气全涌进来了。
Just tons of boiling hot air comes in.
天哪。
Oh god.
但到了冬天，我们会开暖气。
But when it's when it's winter, you put the heating on.
对吧？
Right?
打开暖气，屋里就暖洋洋的。
You put the heater on, and then it's all nice and warm.
但如果太猛了，就会变得太热。
But if it's too strong, it's becomes hot.
对吧？
Right?
暖气片，就是那个加热器。
The radiator, the heater.
暖和、发热、滚烫。
So warm, hot, boiling.
如果从暖和往下走，大概就是凉快，一阵舒服的凉风。
If you go down from warm, you would probably have cool, cool, a lovely cool breeze.
对吧？
Right?
端盆凉水，把脚放进去。
Get get a bowl of cool water and put your feet in it.
哦，这感觉真好。
Oh, that's nice.
别太凉。
Not too cold.
刚刚好。
Just right.
挺凉快的。
It's cool.
再往下就是冷了，当然，非常冷，极冷，简直——怎么说呢？
And then cold, of course, and very cold, extremely cold, and absolutely, what?
冷得刺骨。
Absolutely freezing.
是的。
Yeah.
明白了。
Okay.
好了，言归正传，再说说‘热’这个形容词。
So, anyway, back to adjective hot.
今天真热。
It's hot today.
那个暖气片烫得很。
That radiator is hot.
小心点。
Be careful.
茶是热的。
The tea is hot.
你最好先放一会儿再喝。
You might wanna just leave it for a minute.
更强烈的表达方式。
Stronger versions.
这非常烫。
It's very hot.
这滚烫滚烫的。
It's boiling hot.
这烫得发红。
It's red hot.
形容食物和饮料时，我们不说‘滚烫’。
For food and drinks, we don't say food is boiling hot.
我们会说‘热气腾腾’。
We say it's piping hot.
有个挺地道的表达。
There's a nice expression.
滚烫的。
Piping hot.
那道菜上桌时还是滚烫的。
The food was served piping hot.
也可以说是热气腾腾。
Steaming hot as well.
热气腾腾的汤，滚烫的派。
Steaming hot, steaming hot soup, piping hot pie.
那碗汤滚烫的。
The soup was piping hot.
咖啡还冒着热气。
The coffee was still steaming hot.
然后‘hot’也可以表示辣。
Then hot meaning spicy.
对吧？
Right?
这个词用来形容吃下去会让嘴里火辣辣的食物。
This is used to describe food that creates that burning sensation in your mouth.
哦，这道咖喱可真辣，对吧？
Oh, this is oh, this is a spicy curry, isn't it?
哎，有水吗？
Oh, have you got some water?
这道咖喱实在太辣了。
This curry is really hot.
我吃不了太辣的食物。
I can't eat very hot food.
这酱汁对我来说太辣了。
The sauce is too hot for me.
那它的反义词是什么呢？
The opposite of that is what?
这是温和的，所以有辣的咖喱，也有不辣的咖喱。
It's mild, so a hot curry or a mild curry.
那‘辣’和‘辛辣’呢？
What about hot and spicy?
它们的意思是一样的吗？
Do they mean the same thing?
通常来说，它们确实是一个意思。
Well, often they do mean the same thing.
你可以说这道咖喱很辣。
You can say this curry is hot.
这道咖喱很辛辣。
This curry is spicy.
这两种说法其实可以互换。
And those things can mean the same thing.
对吧？
Right?
你可以说，哦，有点辣。
You can say, oh, it's a bit spicy.
我不喜欢吃辣的食物。
Or I don't like spicy food.
我实在受不了。
I can't can't handle it.
所以这些说法意思可能差不多。
So those things can mean the same thing.
不过，‘辣’也可能只是指放了很多香料，并不一定意味着辣得呛人。
But, however, spicy can simply mean that a lot of spices have been used and not necessarily that it's hot.
对吧？
Right?
比如这道菜很香，但不怎么辣。
For example, the dish is spicy, but not very hot.
米饭里加了各种香料调味。
The rice is flavored with spices.
我们说的香料，比如孜然，还有其他一些香料。
And we're talking about spices like, I don't know, cumin and I know other spices.
我还知道其他的。
I know others.
比如姜黄、孜然，这些都很常用，但其实并不辣。
Turmeric, cumin and turmeric, for example, very commonly used spices, but they're not actually hot.
对吧？
Right?
同样，'加了香料的'通常只是说放了香料，并不意味着有辣味。
Similarly, the word spiced often means that spices have been added without suggesting heat.
比如香料茶、香料酒、香料饼干。
So spiced tea, spiced wine, spiced biscuits.
是的。
Yeah.
肉桂、孜然、姜黄、小豆蔻、肉豆蔻和丁香都是香料，但它们都不辣。
Cinnamon, cumin, turmeric, cardamom, nutmeg, and cloves are all spices, but they're not hot.
好的。
Okay.
对。
Right.
但很多时候，‘辣’和‘ spicy ’意思差不多，但也不总是这样。
But a lot of the time, hot and spicy could mean the same thing, but not always.
不过‘辣’就是辣。
But hot is always hot.
‘spicy’ 可以指辣，也可以只是说加了香料。
Spicy could mean hot or just means that spices have been added.
对。
Right.
第三个意思是指‘辣’，也就是性吸引力强。
Third meaning is hot, meaning sexually attractive.
对吧？
Right?
一个特别帅的男生，一个特别漂亮的女生，他真的很帅，她真的很漂亮。
A really hot guy, a really hot girl, he's really hot, she's really hot.
这是非正式说法，用来形容外表有吸引力的人。
This is used informally to describe someone who is physically attractive.
她真的很有魅力。
She's really hot.
他是个帅哥。
He's a hot guy.
大家都觉得她很迷人。
Everyone thinks she's hot.
相关的词有：有吸引力、性感、美艳、英俊、漂亮。
Related words would be attractive, sexy, gorgeous, handsome, beautiful.
在英式英语里，我们也会说‘fit’。
In British English, we say fit as well.
对吧？
Right?
他身材真棒。
He's really fit.
他觉得你身材很棒。
He thinks you're fit.
她觉得你身材很棒。
She thinks you're fit.
他身材真棒。
He's really fit.
你觉得呢？
What do you think?
他身材很好，对吧？
He's fit, isn't he?
看看她。
Look at her.
她身材真棒。
She's really fit.
她真的很有型。
She's really fit.
他身材很好。
He's well fit.
顺便说一下，'hot'在非正式场合常用来形容人有吸引力。
This is one of the most common informal meanings of hot, by the way, meaning sexually attractive.
明白了。
Okay.
没错。
Right.
接下来第四个意思是'hot'表示引发强烈情感。
So then fourth is hot, meaning causing strong feelings.
这里用'hot'来形容那些能激起强烈情绪、观点、争论、兴奋或争议的事物。
So here the word is used to describe things that generate strong emotions, opinions, arguments, excitement, or controversy.
争议，争议。
Controversy, Controversy.
在英式英语里，这两种说法我们都用。
In British English, we say them in either way.
争议。
Controversy.
争议。
Controversy.
不知怎么的，我就是习惯说‘争议’。
I just naturally, for some reason, say controversy.
有争议的事情。
Controversial things.
比如说，这可是个热门话题。
For example, it's a hot topic.
就是，我说不上具体是什么。
Like, I don't know what.
气候变化就是一个热门话题。
Climate change is a hot topic.
我的意思是，现在人工智能、AI泡沫确实是个热门话题。
I mean, literally, AI, the AI bubble is a kind of a hot topic at the moment.
世界杯也是一个热门话题。
The World Cup is a hot topic.
这属于一个容易引发争议的问题，很多人对此意见不一。
It a hot button issue, like an issue that lots of people disagree about.
来听听我的看法。
Here's my hot take.
比如说，我也说不准。
For example, I don't know.
你对世界杯肯定也有自己的看法。
You've got a hot take about the World Cup.
这是我关于英格兰队在世界杯上的看法。
Here's my hot take about the about England in the World Cup.
我觉得所谓‘热门观点’，就像我后面会解释的，是一种你很快想到的观点，可能还带点独特性。
I think that I don't know what a hot take, as I'm gonna explain later, is like a, an opinion, maybe an opinion that you've kind of fairly quickly thought of and that's maybe a bit unique.
所以这其实就是我对某个话题的个人看法。
So it's like my own personal opinion on a subject.
如果是热门观点，那就是我最近才想到的东西。
And if it's a hot take, it's like something that I've fairly recently thought of.
我待会儿再回来说这个。
I will come back to that.
比如，移民是个热门的政治议题。
Immigration is a hot political issue, for example.
像愤怒、兴奋、热情、分歧、争议这些情绪，都包含在这个‘热’字的含义里。
Typical feelings, anger, excitement, enthusiasm, disagreement, con controversy, these are all sort of included in the sense of this word hot here as it's used like this.
意思是，情绪被比喻成发热的状态。
The idea that is that emotions are metaphorically heated.
第五种用法，‘热’表示让事情变得棘手。
And then number five, is hot meaning making things difficult.
当有压力、麻烦、危险或紧迫感的时候，就会这么用。
This is used when there's pressure, trouble, danger, urgency.
比如，她现在惹上麻烦了。
For example, she's in hot water.
你知道吗，总理因为那件事陷入了困境，就是那个……
You know, the prime minister is in hot water over the situation with the with the thing what?
那部由约翰·卡朋特执导、库尔特·拉塞尔主演的电影。
The the film, the thing, directed by John Carpenter starring Kurt Russell.
不是。
No.
想象一下，如果一部八十年代的恐怖片引发了巨大争议。
Imagine if if there was a big controversy about an eighties horror film.
不是。
No.
今天下午，总理因涉嫌腐败并与爱泼斯坦文件有关联而陷入舆论风波。
The prime minister's in hot water this afternoon after allegations of corruption and connections to the Epstein files.
你知道，她现在被推到了风口浪尖。
You know, she's in the hot seat.
身处风口浪尖就是指你得面对各种提问。我以前在英语课上做过一个叫‘风口浪尖’的练习，就是把一把椅子摆在教室前面，学生们轮流坐上去，其他人则可以问他们问题，可能是难题，也可能只是测试我写在他们身后黑板上的英语内容——而他们自己看不到黑板上写的是什么。
Right to be in the hot seat that's where you're in in a situation where you have to answer questions to be in the hot seat I used to do an exercise in my English lessons called the hot seat and you basically put a chair in the front of the class and the students take take in take it in turns to sit in the chair, the hot seat, and then all the other people in the class, you know, can ask them questions, maybe even difficult questions, or just ask them questions or test them on a bit of English that I've written on the board behind the person in the hot seat and they can't see what it is.
可能是某个短语动词之类的词，我会不断在黑板上写我们课上学过的词汇，班上的人通过提问帮坐在椅子上的人猜出这个词，大概就是这种玩法。
It could just be a phrasal verb or something and the I keep writing different bits of vocabulary that we've done in the class and the people in the in the room have to ask the person questions to help them guess what the word is, you know, something like that.
所以‘身处风口浪尖’就是你成为焦点，必须回答各种棘手的问题。
So that's to be in the hot seat where you're in a you are you are the the spotlight is on you and you've got to ask answer difficult questions.
我这集的脑子能正常运转吗？
Is my brain gonna work properly throughout this episode?
希望如此。
I hope so.
我想你也希望如此。
So do you as well, I imagine.
警察正在全力追捕。
The police are in hot pursuit.
意思是紧追不舍。
That means chasing someone.
我待会儿再回来说这个。
I'll come back to that as well.
这个问题变得太棘手了，意思就是太有争议、太麻烦，没法处理。
The issue became too hot to handle, meaning it was too controversial, too problematic to deal with, too hot to handle.
这其实跟压力、风险、责任、紧张和麻烦这些概念有关。
So this this relates to, you know, ideas of pressure, risk, responsibility, stress, trouble.
这个比喻是说，热度让人感到不舒服。
The metaphor is that heat makes life uncomfortable.
我待会儿会解释一下 'hot' 和 'heat' 的区别。
I'm gonna explain in a minute the difference between hot and heat.
如果你得解释一下，你能说清楚吗？
Could you explain it if you had to?
假如你突然被推到那个 'hot seat' 上，就像在我英语课上，有个学生或者老师，你能说说 'hot' 和 'heat' 有什么不同吗？
If you were suddenly put into the hot seat, like, you're in my English class, and one of the students, teacher, can you explain what is difference hot and heat?
我会说，好吧。
And I'd say, okay.
佩德罗，这题你来答。
Pedro, you're you're gonna answer this one.
你现在被点名了。
You're in the hot seat.
全班人都在问：真的吗，卢克？
And the whole class goes, really, Luke?
你能不能自己直接回答问题？
Can't you just answer the question yourself?
你干嘛非得把这变成什么学生主导的活动？
Why do you have to turn this into some sort of, you know, student led activity?
卢克，你就直接告诉我们答案吧，行不行？
Just tell us the answer for goodness sake, Luke.
这些问题太棘手了。
It's too hot for these.
你直接告诉我吧。
Just tell me.
你有没有遇到过这种情况，遇到一位刚参加完英语教学培训的英语老师？
Have you ever been in a situation like that with an English teacher where they've they've they've just come out of, like, English teaching training.
他们刚上完培训课，被灌输了一套理念：不能直接把答案快速说出来，必须想办法让学生自己把答案说出来。
They've just done their training course, and they've been told that you you can't just answer a question as efficiently and quickly as possible, that you have to find a way of eliciting the answer from the student themselves.
于是有个学生问：mean hot 和 heat 是什么意思？
So one of the students says, what is mean hot and heat?
有什么区别？
What is difference?
我的意思是，hot 和 heat 到底有什么不一样？
I mean, what's the difference between hot and heat?
对啊。
Yeah.
你觉得呢，曼uela？
Well, what do you think, Manuela?
你怎么看？
What do you think?
嗯，我也不太清楚。
Well, I don't know.
所以我才问你啊。
That's why I'm that's why I'm asking you.
说真的，这教学方法也不算差，因为很多时候这么做的目的，是想让学生更主动一点。
To be fair, it's not a bad teaching technique because a lot of the time what the purpose of doing that is to encourage the student to be a bit more autonomous.
对吧？
Right?
而且很多时候，学生自己其实能想明白，能自己推断词义，这可是非常重要的能力。
And a lot of the time, students can work it out for themselves, and that's a very important skill to be able to work out meanings of words and things.
但当时那种情况真的挺让人烦的，尤其是遇到那种死活不直接告诉你答案的老师，非得让你自己答，可你又根本不知道。
But in the moment, it can be quite irritable irritating, I mean, when you have one of those teachers who won't just give you a straight answer, and they always have to find a way to get you to answer the question yourself, and you just don't know.
所以这做法其实挺蠢的。
So it's it's pretty stupid.
是啊。
Yeah.
这里的隐喻是，炎热让人感到不舒服。
The metaphor here is that heat makes life uncomfortable.
而‘热’也可以表示流行、时髦或者成功。
And then hot meaning popular, fashionable, or successful.
这个词用来形容那些吸引大量关注的人、产品、趋势、想法或娱乐内容。
This is used for people, products, trends, ideas, and entertainment that are attracting a lot of attention.
比如，卢克的英语播客现在特别火，这话说得一点不假。
For example, Luke's English podcast is so hot right now, which is literally true.
我的意思是，从字面上讲，我指的是这个播客的物质载体温度有多高？
I mean, literally the temperature of what I mean, what is the material substance of this podcast?
比如说，它就是麦克风。
Let's say it is the microphone.
它就是我。
It is me.
它是我本人、这个房间，还有我周围的空气。
It is my body, the room, the air that surrounds me.
是摄像头和麦克风的温度。
It is the temperature of the camera of the microphone.
如果这就是《Luke的英语播客》的实质，那确实可以说，现在它真的非常火爆。
And if if that's what the substance of Luke's English podcast is, then it is certainly literally literally true that LEP is so hot right now.
但你也可能说，如果《Luke的英语播客》正在趋势榜上，人人都在讨论，算法都在推，短视频全在讲它——当然，事实根本不是这样。
But, also, you might say if Luke's English podcast was trending and everyone was talking about it and all the algorithms were pushing it and, you know, all the short form content was all about it, which is absolutely not the case.
我明显得改改我的播客运营方式了。
And I clearly need to change my I need to change my whole podcasting game.
我已经做了好多年了。
I've been doing this for years.
多年来，这个形式一直很成功，我只要专心把每期内容做好，发布出去，剩下的就顺其自然了。
And for many years, it's always been a successful format that I just try to make the episodes good and then publish them and hope that the rest will take care of itself.
但现在，你得更像个创业者一样去运作。
But these days, you've gotta be so much more entrepreneurial about it.
你得不断剪短视频、做片段、搞短内容、刷各种平台，你知道的。
You've gotta be making clips and shorts and bips and bops and bids and baps and ticks and tocks and you know?
你确实得做这些别的事情，对吧？
You gotta do all of that other stuff, haven't you?
天哪。
God.
这时候我知道，肯定有几百万人在想：卢克，我来帮你做。
At this point, I know there's millions of you going, I'll do it for you, Luke.
我来帮你做。
I'll do it for you.
我专门做短视频内容。
I'm I specialize in making short form content.
我很乐意帮忙，而且我肯定会收到一大堆人主动要求帮我做的请求。
I'd be glad to do it, and I'll be I'll be, inundated with requests from people who wanna do it for me.
不过，这事儿咱们改天再聊。
Anyway, that's another question for another time.
卢克的英语播客现在真是火得不行。
Luke's English podcast is just so hot right now.
大家都在聊这个。
Everyone's talking about it.
她是英国目前最炙手可热的新锐作家。
She's one of the hottest new writers in Britain.
现在科技圈最火的就是人工智能。
AI is the hottest thing in tech today.
那个街区现在特别热门，就是说很多人都想去。
That neighborhood is really hot at the moment, meaning that people want to go there.
人们都想在那里买房。
People want to purchase places there.
那是现在最值得去的地方。
It's the cool place to go.
热门房产，最被看好的人选。
Hot property, the hot favorite.
法国队是世界杯的最大热门。
France are the hot favorite for the World Cup.
西班牙是世界杯的头号热门。
Spain are the hot favorite for the World Cup.
是法国还是西班牙？
Is it France or Spain?
我觉得从技术上讲，还是法国更占优势。
I think it's still technically France.
抱歉，西班牙的听众们，但你们赢的机会和他们一样大。
Sorry, Spanish listeners, but, I mean, you've got just as much chance of winning as them.
英格兰。
England.
对啊。
Yeah.
英格兰才是头号热门。
England are the hot favorite.
我们首场比赛表现没那么差。
We weren't so bad in the opening game.
第二场比赛，我们没能赢下加纳，这对英格兰来说是一次现实的打击。
Second game, we could not beat Ghana, and it was a reality check for England.
稍微岔开一下，聊点世界杯的趣事。
Little bit of world a little tiny World Cup tangent.
在我们赢了克罗地亚之后，大家都觉得英格兰有戏了。克罗地亚可是支硬骨头队伍，实力很强，世界排名第十一，绝对是一支顶级球队。
Everyone expected England after we'd beaten Croatia, which Croatia, tough team, really tough, good team, sort of eleventh ranked eleventh in the world, and certainly, you know, a really decent team.
结果我们在首战以4比2击败了他们，那确实是个很棒的成绩。
And England beat them four two in the opening game, which was definitely a great result.
但那种兴奋的情绪，像浪潮一样席卷了整个英格兰。
But I think this feeling, this wave passed through the entire country of England.
在苏格兰，人们却说：我们根本不关心。
In Scotland, they were like, we don't care.
我们自己也有球队进了世界杯，这就够了。
We've got our team in we've got our team in the World Cup.
我们只希望，苏格兰至少能进一个球。
We just don't please let Scotland at least score a goal.
就英格兰，别闹了。
And the few you know, just England, shut up.
让苏格兰好好发挥吧。
Let Scotland shine.
第二场我们对上加纳，大家都觉得这肯定轻松拿下。
Anyway, we we played Ghana in the second game, and everyone thought, oh, this will be easy.
是的。
Yeah.
但结果并没有。
But no.
零比零。
Nil nil.
英格兰一球没进。
No goal from England.
真是让人沮丧。
It was frustrating.
不过得给加纳点赞，他们根本就是下定决心了。
But fair play to Ghana, they basically decided, right.
我们就不踢足球了。
We're just gonna we're not gonna play football.
我们只管使出浑身解数，绝不让英格兰队进一个球。
We're just gonna do everything we can to make sure England don't score any goals in this game.
加纳队的策略就是：这场比赛谁也别想进球，连教练都这么定的。
We just no goals will be scored in this game was the approach that Ghana took with their manager.
他们的教练叫什么名字？
What's the name of their manager?
他是个资历很深的足球教练。
He's a kind of a bit of a bit of a veteran football manager.
他们玩了一招我们足球圈里常说的‘大巴战术’。
And they they parked the bus, as we say in in footballing speak.
所谓‘大巴战术’，就是全队都缩在禁区里，密密麻麻全是防守球员，根本没空隙让对方把球传进来。
To park the bus means where, basically, the whole team crowds, the whole area in around the penalty area, so many defenders, so many players crowding there that it's basically impossible to get the ball through.
这真的让比赛变得特别困难。
It's made it really hard.
说实话，大家都说英格兰队人才济济。
I mean, to be fair, England everyone talks about England as being a very talented team.
他们得想出些有创意的办法，才能突破这种防守。
They need to find creative sparky ways to break through situations like that.
好了，扯远了，不聊世界杯了。
Anyway, that's the end of that World Cup tangent.
我以后还会再聊世界杯的。
I'll be coming back to the World Cup.
过一阵子，我会专门做一期加更节目，聊聊世界杯。
I'll talk I'll do another bonus episode about the World Cup at some point.
哎呀，糟糕。
Oh, dear.
这期节目我得放慢节奏，轻松点来。
This I'm gonna have to take it slow, take it easy during this episode.
这会是那种类型。
It's gonna be one of those.
你那边热吗？
Is it hot where you are?
可能吧。
It might be.
那咱们就一起热着听吧，行吧。
In which case, we'll just be hot together, okay, while we listen to this.
我再喝点水。
Let me drink some more water.
我再喝点水。
Let me drink some more water.
真提神。
Very refreshing.
对。
Right.
我们继续。
Moving on.
热门话题、热门人选、热点。
Hot property, hot favorite, a hotspot.
这跟流行、成功、需求有关，比如大家想要的东西、时尚和兴奋感。
This is associated with things like popularity, success, demand, like people wanting something, fashion, and excitement.
这个隐喻的意思是，关注会带来热度。
The head the metaphor is that attention creates heat.
那‘hot’和‘heat’有什么区别呢？
So what about hot versus heat?
我们来对比一下‘hot’和‘heat’这个词，后者可以作名词或动词。
Let's contrast the word hot with the word heat, which is a noun or a verb.
对。
Right.
所以‘heat’这个词既可以作名词，也可以作动词。
So the word heat is a noun or a verb.
‘Hot’是个形容词。
The word hot is an adjective.
对吧？
Right?
光是这一点，我觉得就已经说得很清楚了。
Well, that's probably enough even just to tell you that.
就这样吧。
There you go.
老师，这俩有什么区别？
Teacher, what is difference?
‘Hot’和‘heat’。
Hot and heat.
‘Hot’是形容词。
Well, hot's an adjective.
‘Heat’是名词或者动词。
Heat's a noun or a verb.
好的。
Okay.
非常感谢。
Thanks a lot.
祝你今天愉快。
Have a lovely day.
再见。
Bye.
再说说热量，这个名词。
Anyway, heat, the noun.
热量其实就是形容词‘热’的名词形式，指的是热的特性。
Heat is basically the noun form of the adjective hot, so it means the quality of being hot.
你能感觉到阳光的热量吗？
Can you feel the heat of the sun?
太阳非常热。
The sun is very hot.
感受一下这热气。
Feel the heat.
你能感觉到热气打在脸上。
You can feel the heat on your face.
今天特别强烈。
It's so strong today.
这热浪简直受不了，对吧？
The heat is unbearable, isn't it?
我们需要多种树，遮挡阳光的热气，保护地球不被太阳的高温侵袭。
We need more trees to protect us from the heat of the sun, to protect the earth from the heat of the sun.
城里建筑和地面的石头都会吸热、储热，导致晚上城市很难降温。
In the city, the stone bit the stone in buildings and the ground absorbs the heat and keeps it, stores the heat, which makes it harder for the city to cool down at night.
这就是‘heat’，名词用法。
That's heat, the noun.
‘Heat’作为动词，意思是让某物变热。
Heat, meaning heat the verb, is to make something hot.
比如，把烤箱预热到两百度。
So for example, heat the oven to 200 degrees.
heat up 就是对应的短语动词。
Heat up is the phrasal verb equivalent.
把烤箱加热。
Heat the oven.
把烤箱热一下。
Heat up the oven.
明白了。
Okay.
通常我们说把烤箱加热。
Normally, we say heat the oven.
我觉得我们一般会说加热烤箱，但你说 heat up 某物，意思是让整个东西都热透。
I I think we'd probably heat an oven, but you heat up something, meaning make it hot all the way through.
这问题问得好。
That's a good question.
heat 和 heat up 的区别。
Heat versus heat up.
好吧。
Alright.
太阳让地球变暖。
Anyway, the sun heats the earth.
这台小型木柴炉子足以让整个房间暖和起来。
This this small wood burning stove is enough to heat this entire room.
不过，heat 和 heat up 到底有什么不同？
What's the difference between heat and heat up, though?
你可以把房间加热。
You can heat as heat up the room.
房间正在变暖。
The room is heating up.
heat 和 heat up。
Heat and heat up.
