And one problem that I have with my students is people tend to learn, especially in school.

而我的學生有一個問題，就是人往往會學習，尤其是在學校。

In other countries, people tend to learn idioms which we don't actually use anymore.

在其他國家，人們往往會學習一些我們實際上已經不用的成語。

Some idioms can sound really outdated.

有些成語聽起來真的很過時。

So today, here for you I have the perfect list off idioms that people use in the UK today.

所以今天，在這裡我為大家完美的列舉了當今英國人使用的習語。

Right now, every day, general expressions that we can use.

現在，每天，一般的表達方式，我們都可以使用。

Okay, idiomatic expressions on.

好，成語表達上。

Of course, The quick disclaimer.

當然，快速免責聲明。

I do need to tell you that these idioms are informal.

我確實需要告訴你，這些成語是非正式的。

You cannot use them really in a formal situation.

你不能在正式場合真的使用它們。

So let's get straight into it.

那我們就直接進入正題吧。

I'm going to give you a situation for this first idiom.

這第一個成語我給大家講一個情況。

I work at home.

我在家裡工作。

Okay?

好嗎？

I live in quite a small place because I work at home.

我因為在家工作，所以住的地方挺小的。

I spend all of my time at home.

我的時間都在家裡。

I don't really get to go outside.

我沒有真正去外面。

I find that staying inside all day it tends to drive me around the bend.

我發現整天呆在屋裡，往往會把我逼得走投無路。

That's right.

是的

That's the idiom.

這就是成語。

Drives me round the bend.

驅使我繞著彎子走。

Something contrive you around the bend on.

某種程度上，你在彎道上的考慮。

This basically means that something can make you really bored or really angry or annoyed about something.

這基本上意味著，有些事情會讓你真的很無聊，或者真的很生氣，或者很煩躁的事情。

So people could also drive you round the bend, which means they just make you a bit frustrated, a bit annoyed and sometimes board.

所以人家也可能把你逼得走投無路，也就是說他們只是讓你有點沮喪，有點煩躁，有時候還會板著臉。

Next video does your head in or does my head in or during my head in.

下一個視頻做你的頭在或做我的頭在或在我的頭在期間。

If something does your head in, then it's something that really annoys you.

如果有什麼事情讓你頭疼，那就是真正讓你討厭的事情。

So this one is quite related to the last one.

所以這個跟上一個很有關係。

I want you to use the idiom in the comments, and I want you to tell me one thing that people do that really does your head in.

我要你在評論中使用這個成語，我要你告訴我一件人們做的事情，真的讓你頭疼。

Now listen to the connected speech between D and I on head on in does my head in?

現在請聽D和我之間的連線演講，頭在不在我的頭在？

We moved the deed to the beginning of the next word does my head in because the combination of continent on vowel always pushes together, so it does my head in head in.

我們把deed移到下一個單詞的開頭do my head in，因為大陸在元音上的組合總是推在一起，所以它do my head in head in。

So one thing that really does my head in is when people chew really loudly when they're eating.

所以有一件事讓我很頭疼，那就是當人們吃飯時咀嚼的聲音非常大。

You know that kind of Yeah, I can't stand that.

你知道那種 是的，我不能忍受。

So annoying.

好煩人。

I hate it.

我討厭它。

Guys, if you're chewing to quietly close your mouth and enjoy your food, I don't need to enjoy your food with you.

小夥伴們，如果你們咀嚼是為了安靜地閉上嘴享受食物，我就不需要和你們一起享受食物了。

So yeah, If something does your head in, it annoys you.

所以啊，如果有什麼事情讓你頭疼，你就會很煩。

That's it.

就這樣吧

所以，如果有人不斷地哭泣，因為他們是他們剛剛分手 與他們的女朋友或男朋友在那裡，真的很傷心，他們不會停止哭泣。

And it's been weeks and weeks and they're still crying.

而且已經幾周了，他們還在哭。

I might just need to say, Oh, come on, you need to get a grip Or I might say, Come on, get a grip of yourself, Control yourself, you know, move on, continue, behave calmly.

我可能只需要說，哦，來吧，你需要得到一個控制 或者我可能會說，來吧，得到一個控制自己， 控制自己，你知道，繼續前進，繼續，表現平靜。
