Section 1
大家是否還記得之前我們講過關(guān)于“whats up?”以及回答方式,那么我們生活中還可以講哪些地道的問候語呢?這些也是需要一個禮貌的回答即可嗎?
筆記分享
What do you say when you meet a co-worker in the office?
當你在辦公室遇到同事時,你會說什么?
Whats a good simple easy greeting?
有什么好的簡單的問候方式嗎?
Heres whats funny, its often a question but we dont necessarily want an answer.
有趣的是,這通常是一個問題,但我們不一定想要答案。
Necessarily 美 [?nes??ser?li]
adv.必要地;必然地;不可避免地
For example, "Hey, whats up?
例如,“嘿,怎么了?
" We dont actually mean tell me everything you got going on, the answer to that is "Not much."
我們的意思并不是告訴我你在做什么,回答是“沒什么”。
Another greeting, "Hey, hows it going?"
另一個問候,“嘿,最近怎么樣?”
Again, were not asking you to really tell us how things are going for you.
同樣,我們并不是要您真正告訴我們您的情況如何
The answer to that is "Good."
答案是“不錯”。
Or you could say "Hey whats going on?
或者你可以說“嘿,怎么樣?
Again, we dont need to know what you really have going on.
同樣,我們不需要知道你到底在做什么。
Its just a greeting and to that you could say "Not much."
這只是一個問候,你可以說“沒什么”。
Now my dad, when he would go on runs around the town and he would pass somebody else running, he would always say "How are you doing?"
現(xiàn)在,我爸爸在鎮(zhèn)上跑步的時候,當他跑過別人的時候,他總會說:“你好嗎?”
"How you doin?" short for "How are you doing?"
“你好嗎?” “你好嗎?”的縮寫。
How are you doing? Thats another good greeting.
你好嗎?這是另一個很好的問候。
Again, the answer is just "Fine."
同樣,回答只是“很好”。
If its before noon, my favorite greeting is "Morning!"
如果是在中午之前,我最喜歡的問候是“早上好!”
I use this as I walk around the neighborhood in the morning and see neighbors.
當我早上在附近走動并看到鄰居時,我會使用它。

大家可能想不到這期我們會講到不太文明的 "Sh*t out of" ,最常聽到可能會在一些電影或美劇中,我們一起去看看如果將它放到生活場景中會怎么用?
筆記分享
Were cussing today in this English lesson. Americans use the phrase "Sh*t out of" a couple of different ways.
今天這節(jié)英語課我們要講臟話。美國人有好幾種使用“Sh*t out”的方式。
First, "Sh*t out of luck." Notice "out of" becomes "outta". Sh*t out of luck.
首先,“真倒霉?!弊⒁狻皁ut of”變成了“outta”。真倒霉。
This means what you want to happen, theres just no way it can happen.
這意味著你想要發(fā)生的事情是不可能發(fā)生的。
You look into every possibility and and its just not going to work out.
你調(diào)查了每一種可能性,結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)這是行不通的。
For example, last weekend, last minute, I decided to visit my friend, I needed to rent a car.
例如,上周末,最后一分鐘,我決定去拜訪我的朋友,我需要租一輛車。
And I tried Zipcar, I tried all the car rental places in my neighborhood.
我試了Zipcar,我試了附近所有的租車公司。
I even tried some new app I never heard of before but nothing was available, I was sh*t out of luck.
我甚至嘗試了一些我以前從未聽說過的新應(yīng)用程序,但是都行不通,我真是太倒霉了。
We also use it with the verb "beat" and "scared".
我們還將它與動詞“擊打”和“害怕”一起使用。
If something scares the sh*t out of you, Its just really, really scary.
如果有什么事嚇到你了,那真的非常非??膳隆?/p>
Lets say I dont think my husband is home, I walk in, its late at night, it turns out hes there, huh!
假設(shè)我認為我的丈夫不在家,我走進去,已經(jīng)很晚了,發(fā)現(xiàn)他在那里!
I see him and for a second I dont realize its him, Im like "David, you scared the sh*t out of me."
我看到他,有那么一瞬間我沒意識到是他,我想"大衛(wèi),你嚇死我了"
Now I hope youre never in a fight because I hope no one ever beats the sh*t out of you.
現(xiàn)在我希望你永遠不會打架,因為我希望沒有人能打敗你。
That means they really got you good, it wasnt just a little minor scuffle, hfff, they beat the sh*t out of you.
這意味著他們真的把你打得很厲害,這不僅僅是一場小小的混戰(zhàn),hfff,他們把你打得一塌糊涂。
Minor 美 [?ma?n?r]
adj.少數(shù)的;輕微的;較小的;次要的;小調(diào)的;小音階的
n.未成年人;輔修科目;輔修課程
v.輔修
Scuffle 美 [?sk?fl]
n.(短時間與某人的)小扭打,沖突
vi.(短暫而不嚴重地)扭打;爭斗
Note: Sh*t out of luck can get shortened to SOL, if someone wants to use this phrase but not cuss. Sorry, youre SOL.
注意:Sh*t out of luck可以縮寫為SOL,如果有人想用這個短語而不是罵人的話。對不起,你是 SOL。

在標點符號積累中,連字符也是經(jīng)常被我們忽略的書寫細節(jié),今天我們一起區(qū)分hyphen, En dash,Em dash,這三種“橫線”怎樣出現(xiàn)在文字中?表達怎樣的含義,書寫要求是什么?
筆記分享
I cant stand it when people misuse the hyphen.
我不能忍受人們誤用連字符。
We have three different punctuation symbols that looks similar. We have the hyphen, the En dash, a little longer, and the Em dash, longer still.
我們有三個看起來相似的標點符號。我們有連字符,En破折號,有點長,還有Em破折號,更長。
We use the hyphen to connect words that as an idea are describing something.
我們用連字符連接詞語,作為一個概念來描述某事。
For example, a five-minute break. Its not a five break, its not a minute break.
例如,休息五分鐘。不是五次休息,也不是一分鐘的休息。
Its a five-minute break. Use a hyphen without spaces for five-minute.
休息五分鐘。five-minute使用連字符,不帶空格。
You can use and En dash, thats the next longest line to show a range of time.
你可以用和En破折號,這是下一個最長的線來表示時間范圍。
For example, the event is from 7-10 tonight.
例如,活動將在今晚7點10分舉行。
Now the em dash, this is the longest line is used show parenthetical thats extra information.
現(xiàn)在em破折號,這是使用的最長的一行顯示插入額外的信息。
Parenthetical 美 [?p?r?n?θet?kl]
adj.插入的;插入成分的
And it drives me crazy when people use the hyphen here.
當人們在這里使用連字符時,我簡直快瘋了。
For example, my dad who is never late, whos over an hour late.
舉個例子,我從不遲到的爸爸,遲到了一個多小時。
My dad whos, dad whos, that doesnt go together in one idea.
我的爸爸是誰,爸爸是誰,這不符合一個想法。
So we need an Em-dash there. Em dash doesnt have a space before or after.
所以我們需要一個Em-dash。. Em破折號前后都沒有空格。
Hyphen, en dash, em dash. Learning how to use this can make you writing look more sophisticated.
連字符、en 破折號、em破折號。學習如何使用它可以讓你的寫作看起來更復雜。
