This is Elliot from E T J English.

這是E T J英語的Elliot。

And today I'm going to be explaining something.

而今天我將解釋一些事情。

I actually said just now at the start of this video.

其實我剛才在這個視頻的開頭就說了。

Now, usually when I do these kind of idiomatic expressions, okay, these kind of expressions that we commonly make in English when we greet each other when we speak to friends and things like this, usually I put them in a list like common British English expressions, my most popular video.

現在，通常我在做這些成語表達的時候，好吧，這些我們常用英語問候對方時的表達方式，當我們和朋友說話時，以及類似這樣的事情，通常我把它們放在一個列表中，比如常見的英國英語表達，我最受歡迎的視頻。

But this one needs to go in one video because this one is one of the most important.

但是這個需要放在一個視頻裡，因為這個是最重要的一個視頻。

Along with all right, up too much or you've been up to much is really, really, really important for English.

隨著all right，up too much或者you've been up to much對於英語來說真的非常非常重要。

So please focus on this one and learn it.

所以請大家關注這個問題，學習它。

The question in its longest form Have you bean up too much?

最長的問題你是不是豆子吃多了？

Have you been up to much?

Now listen to my pronunciation.

現在聽聽我的發音。

Like I said at the beginning, we've got have you bean up too much?

就像我一開始說的，我們已經得到了你的豆子太多？

Now listen to how I connect the words together.

現在聽聽我是如何把這些詞連在一起的。

Soon I'm going to be doing a YouTube video about connecting words to sound more like a native but just listen to this as a bit of a warm up for that video when it comes.

很快，我將在YouTube上做一個關於連接單詞的視頻，使其聽起來更像母語，但只是聽這個作為一點熱身的視頻時，它的到來。

If you can copy how I speak, try your best and try and copy how I say it.

如果你能模仿我的說話方式，就盡力去模仿我的說話方式。

Have you been up to much?

你最近忙嗎？

What does it mean?

這意味著什麼？

I'm sure a lot of you already know what it means and how we use it.

我相信很多人已經知道它的意思，也知道我們如何使用它。

But what it means is what have you been doing?

但它的意思是，你一直在做什麼？

Have you been busy done anything interesting recently?

你最近有沒有忙著做什麼有趣的事情？

That's kind of the sort of question that we're asking, but we're asking in a lot more common British informal way.

這就是我們要問的那種問題，但我們問的是一種更常見的英國非正式方式。

Yeah.

是啊。

Have you been up to much now?

你現在有什麼事嗎？

We can also shorten this and this is what a lot of people do.

我們也可以縮短這個時間，這是很多人的做法。

Okay, So you need to know this for when you're listening.

好吧，所以你需要知道這個 當你聽。

So we've got you've been up to much been up to much or the long version.

所以，我們已經得到了你已經到了很多... ...已經到了很多或長版。

Have you been up to much in a generic response?

你是不是在一般的迴應中，已經到了很多？

If we haven't really been doing much, how do we reply?

如果我們真的沒有做什麼，我們怎麼回答？

Well, we could just say not much.

好吧，我們可以只說不多。

Really.

真的嗎？

You on?

你在嗎？

That's like saying I haven't been doing very much.

這就像說我一直沒有做什麼。

What about you?

你呢？

Not much, really.

不多，真的。

You so just listen to this really natural response.

你所以就聽這個真的很自然的反應。

Okay.

好吧，我知道了

Hi, mate.

嗨，夥計。

How you doing?

That is a very common British English conversation beginning.

這是一個很常見的英國英語對話開頭。

It's small talk.

這是閒話。

We need to know small talk.

我們要懂得小題大做。

This question will be asked almost in every conversation when you meet somebody.

這個問題幾乎在你遇到某個人的時候，每次談話都會被問到。

Especially if they're native, obviously.

特別是如果他們是本地人，顯然。

And also, when you answer, think about when you last saw that person.

還有，當你回答的時候，想想你最後一次見到那個人是什麼時候。

Have you actually done much since you last spoke to that person?

自從你上次和那個人說話後，你真的做了很多事嗎？

Then you know how to respond.

那你就知道如何應對了。

But if you want the easy, easy way out, just say not much.

但如果你想用簡單易行的方法，就不要多說了。

If there is something really special or something you want to share that you've been doing, you could say Yeah, actually, last weekend I went to my sister's house and I cant sited for her because she went away for the weekend.

如果有一些很特別的事情或者你想分享你一直在做的事情，你可以說是的，其實上週末我去了我姐姐家，我不能為她作證，因為她週末去了。

And that's such a true story.

這真是一個真實的故事。

That is something I did last weekend as a really natural response.

這是我上週末做的一件事，是一種很自然的反應。

Usually we'll start with Yeah, and then we'll kind of talk about what it waas that we have been up to.

通常我們會從 "是 "開始，然後我們會說說我們一直在做什麼。

So that's your two different responses if you haven't been doing much or if you have done something that you want to share so that's talking about things that we have bean doing.

所以這就是你的兩個不同的回答，如果你沒有做太多的事情，或者你做了一些事情，你想分享，所以這就是在說我們有豆子做的事情。

But what about now?

但現在呢？

What if I'm on the phone to somebody and I want to say, What are you doing?

如果我在給某人打電話，我想說，你在做什麼？

I could also say what you up thio too much.

我也可以說你起來的東西太多。

And once again, same reply.

再一次，同樣的回答。

Yeah, I'm just cleaning the house right now.

是啊，我現在只是在打掃房子。

Or once again.

或者再一次。

No, not much, really.

不，不多，真的。

You know, you don't have to just say you you could say, What about you?

你知道，你不必只說你 你可以說，你呢？

That's how we return Questions will usually say you if it's more informal on to be formal, we could say, What about you also?

這就是我們的回報問題通常會說你如果是比較非正式的上要正式，我們可以說，你也怎麼樣？

So we've got what we've seen up to what we are up to right now, and also we can talk about the future.

所以我們已經看到了我們現在的情況，也可以談談未來。

What you up to today?

你今天在忙什麼？

You're getting up too much at the weekend.

你週末起得太早了。

You getting up too much at the weekend or you're getting up too much tomorrow.

你週末起的太多，或者明天起的太多。

You up too much tomorrow.

你明天太忙了

So you just need to get your grammar correct in this ondas, long as you've got up to that means doing that's like saying what you're doing.

所以你只要把這個昂達斯的文法弄好了，只要你已經到了那個意思做那就等於說你在做什麼。

Okay, so I hope you guys found this useful.

好了，希望你們覺得這個有用。

Like I said, this comes up in every, like every conversation that you will hear in English.
