marinate0:38
影片例句：Go ahead and marinate on that for a second. You can thank me later if you want.
例句翻譯：讓你沉澱一下，之後再謝我也行。

marinate 是「滷、發酵」的意思，是一種烹飪方式。不過在這裡的衍生意是深入的思考，就像是滷汁很入味一樣，要深入的思考一件事情。想要表達深入思考還可以用這些字：contemplate, mull over, put on your thinking cap。
E.g., He contemplated for a while and decided to have minced pork rice for lunch.
他深入思考後決定午餐吃魯肉飯。

put someone on the spot1:14
影片例句： Now a lot of them thought at this point the experiment was over until we really put them on the spot and tried to get them to call that person.
例句翻譯：很多人以為寫完就結束了，不過我們更進一步，讓他們打給那位特別的人。

put someone on the spot 是讓人處在一個尷尬或是困難的狀況，to put someone in a dilemma。在影片裡叫他們打給他們感謝的人就是 putting them on the spot。
E.g., Tommy really put the boss on the spot when he asked for a raise in front of the whole team. I haven’t seen him for the past week though.
Tommy 在大家面前要求加薪讓老闆很難堪，話說我已經一個禮拜沒看到他了。

補充：on the spot 是「就地」的意思
to puke on the spot 就是「就地嘔吐」

影片例句：Is everything okay? Yes! But I have to read this out loud to you.
例句翻譯：你還好嗎？我沒事，不過我需要把這個讀出來給你聽。

read out loud 是大聲讀出來，也就是 read loudly 或是 read at the top of your lungs。”out loud” 時常用來形容某個行為的聲效，像是 laugh out loud 是「大聲笑出來」或是 think out loud 是「把思考的說出來」都是使用範例。
E.g., I was just chatting with my hot classmate when I thought out loud and asked her to marry me.
我原本只是好好的跟我的漂亮同學聊天，不過我一不小心就跟她求婚了。

love someone to death3:44
影片例句：I love her to death, and she keeps me going with positive talk, she is a woman that knows what she wants and won't give up until it is achieved.
例句翻譯：我超愛她，她時常鼓勵我讓我堅持下去，她是一位知道自己想要什麼，並且會儘全力去爭取的強女人。

love someone to death 就是愛死一個人了。其實很多的動作都可以加上 “to death” 用來誇飾，比如說 starve to death 或是 freeze to death 都是誇飾那個動作本身。
E.g., I love Bruno Mars to death, his music is like a table of my favorite food combined.
我愛死火星人了，聽他的音樂就像是一次吃到我所有最愛吃的食物一樣。

補充：愛死一個人也可以說
love someone to bits
a big fan of someone
really into someone

particularly 是一個副詞，形容極端的程度。同義字有 extremely, incredibly, especially, terribly 等。記得它是一個副詞，所以只能修飾動詞或是形容詞。
E.g., This exam is particularly hard
這個考試特別地難。
