過去簡單式

Well, I think it's about time we had to catch up, don't you?

我想是時候讓我們敘敘舊了，你說呢？

是的，我知道你見到我很興奮。

My partner and I we just bought our first house.

我和我的搭檔我們剛買了第一套房子。

And finally we're here on before I start speaking anymore.

最後我們在這裡在我開始說話了。

I guess I should just let you guys know that this is going to be a listening practice video today.

我想我應該讓你們知道，今天這將是一個聽力練習視頻。

So you have the pleasure of sitting down relaxing.

It's good for your listening practice for in the future.

這對你今後的聽力練習很有好處。

Maybe when you're talking to native speakers, I'm also going to pause anytime I maybe say some kind of confusing expression, uh, for you to be able to understand and hopefully learn these expressions.

也許當你和母語者交談的時候，我也會隨時停頓，我也許會說一些混亂的表達，呃，讓你能夠理解，希望能夠學會這些表達。

So, yes, things have bean a little bit hectic.

Another phrase we could use is full on so hectic and full on.

我們還可以用另一個詞組，就是全力以赴，所以忙碌而充實。

Now, if things have bean quite hectic recently, that usually means things have been quite crazy out of the ordinary.

現在，如果最近的事情相當忙碌，那通常意味著事情已經相當瘋狂，不正常。

Maybe a lot of pressure a lot of stress on.

Of course, you can imagine that something that's been happening while I've been moving into a new house, moving out of one place and moving in to another.

當然，你可以想象，在我搬進新房子，從一個地方搬出，又搬到另一個地方的時候，發生了一些事情。

So, yes, things have been quite hectic on.

所以，是的，事情已經相當忙碌了。

As I said, we could also say things have bean full on full on.

正如我說的，我們也可以說事情已經豆滿缽滿。

Remember to connect your speech here, full on.

記得在這裡把你的演講連接起來，充分。

You can join the L to the awe full on makes it sound better on duh.

你可以把L加入到敬畏的滿上使聽起來更好的杜。

It will make you sound more natural with your pronunciation.

So again, when things have bean full on, usually it's like, Imagine you have a car and you push your foot down on the accelerator.

所以再一次，當事情有豆滿的時候，通常就像，想象你有一輛車，你把腳踩在油門上。
