The pronunciation has a lovely 'e' sound in the middle. Tom, do us a demo!

發音中間有一個可愛的 "e "音。湯姆，給我們做個示範！

'E' – 'sweeps'.

E'--'掃蕩'。

'Sweeps'. OK. Now, 'sweeps' is a verb.

"掃"。好了，現在，"掃 "是一個動詞。現在，"掃 "是一個動詞。

Tom, what do you do – tell us – when your kitchen floor is dirty?

湯姆，當你的廚房地板髒了，你會怎麼做--告訴我們？

When my kitchen floor is dirty, Catherine,

I use one of these: I use a brush. And I use the brush to clean the floor.

And every piece of dirt on your floor gets caught up in your brush, doesn't it Tom?

地板上的每一塊汙垢都會被你的刷子吸住，不是嗎，湯姆？

It does, yeah: it just takes it all up.

確實如此，是的：它只是把所有的東西都拿出來了。

And, actually, is there a phrasal verb we can use here?

而實際上，我們在這裡是不是可以用一個短語動詞呢？

Yes, you can 'sweep up' the dirt on your floor.

是的，你可以 "掃 "掉地板上的灰塵。

So, 'sweep' – if you sweep something or you sweep something up,

所以，"掃"--如果你掃了什麼東西，或者你掃了什麼東西。

you get all of it: nothing escapes.

你得到了所有的東西：沒有任何東西可以逃脫。

And this is the idea of 'sweeps' in our headline.

這就是我們頭條的 "掃貨 "理念。

If they swept all the Grammy [Emmy] Awards, they had all seven comedy awards – there was

如果他們橫掃了所有的格萊美[艾美]獎，他們擁有所有的七個喜劇獎--有。

nothing left for anybody else. So when we 'sweep' at an Awards – or we 'sweep' prizes,

沒有任何東西可以留給別人。所以當我們在頒獎典禮上 "掃蕩 "或者 "掃蕩 "獎品的時候，

it means we get all of them. There's nothing left for anybody else.

這意味著我們得到了所有的人。沒有什麼留給別人。

We sweep them up. We collect them all or we obtain them

我們把它們掃起來。我們把它們全部收集起來，或者我們獲得它們

all easily. Now, is this the same as the phrasal verb

'sweep away'? Are they related?

'一掃而空'？它們有關係嗎？

It's... they are related, but the meaning

這... ... 他們是有關係的，但意思是...

is quite different. If you 'sweep away' the competition it means that

是完全不同的。如果你 "橫掃 "了競爭對手，就意味著

you win everything and nobody else gets anything else.

你贏得了一切，沒有人得到別的東西。

So, it's the same sort of meaning but 'sweep away' refers to

所以，是同一種意思，但 "掃除 "指的是。

your opponents. When you 'sweep up' it refers to the prizes.

你的對手。當你 "掃蕩 "時，它指的是獎品。

So, we could say they 'swept up' the prizes because

所以，我們可以說他們 "包攬 "了所有獎項，因為
