情態副詞

And in today's lesson, we are helping you to understand everyday American words that can actually be rude or offensive in Britain.

而在今天的課程中，我們要幫助大家瞭解美國的日常用語，其實在英國是可以很粗魯或冒犯的。

So today I'm here to tell you these words that you don't get in trouble if you're visiting Britain or if you're speaking to someone from Britain.

所以今天我在這裡告訴你這些話，如果你去英國旅遊，或者你跟英國人說話，你就不會有麻煩。

We've got quite a few words here that can actually be very, very rude because they have different meanings in Britain than in America.

我們這裡有不少詞，其實可以非常非常粗魯，因為它們在英國和美國有不同的含義。

Just a little warning for you now that some of these words can be quite rude and offensive, so have a think about whether or not this lesson is for you.

現在只是給你一個小小的警告，其中有些話可能是相當粗魯和令人反感的，所以你要想一想，這節課是否適合你。

But if you definitely want to find out, then keep watching.

但如果你肯定想知道，那就繼續看吧。

Okay, so the first word that we're going to take a look at is the word thick now in American English.

好了，我們要看的第一個詞就是現在美式英語中的 "厚 "字。

On the way that you might think of this word is to describe something that is quite thick.

在方式上，你可能會認為這個詞是形容相當厚重的東西。

The opposite would be something that slim or thin.

對立面將是東西纖細的或薄的。

But in Britain, this is actually a slang way of calling someone unintelligent or stupid.

但在英國，這其實是一種俚語，用來稱呼一個人不聰明或愚蠢。

It's used quite often, actually in Britain to describe this.

這句話用得很頻繁，其實在英國就是用來形容這個。

Should you ask no more favors from me, like for than in your fake insurance claims?

你是不是不應該再要求我幫你的忙了，比如說比你的假保險理賠？

Dad reckons his way up that ladder twittering taught you couldn't teach him a thing.

爸爸估計他那一路走來嘰嘰喳喳的教你也教不了他什麼。

I mean, it's never occurred to him that he might just be thicker picture.

我的意思是，他從來沒有想過，他可能只是圖片比較厚。

Okay, so moving on our next word is Randy.

好了，那麼繼續我們的下一個詞是蘭迪。

Now in America, this is actually a male name, so there are probably many boys of many men that are called Randy.

現在在美國，這其實是一個男性的名字，所以可能有很多男性的很多男孩都叫蘭迪。

One that springs, to my mind, is a wrestler.

If there are any wrestling fans here from the nineties called Randy Savage, so it's very common to be a male name, However, in the UK, it is actually a slang way of saying that you are sexually aroused.

如果這裡有九十年代的摔跤迷叫蘭迪-薩維奇的話，所以這是非常常見的男性名字，然而在英國，這其實是一種俚語，表示你性慾旺盛。

So another word for horny basically give me one good reason why I shouldn't.

所以，另一個詞的角質基本上給我一個很好的理由，為什麼我不應該。

Just run the so the next everyday American word that can be rude in Britain is the word pans.

只要跑了那麼下一個美國的日常用語，在英國可以不禮貌，就是平底鍋這個詞。

So in America, this is what we would call trousers.

所以在美國，這就是我們所說的褲子。

So it's a piece of clothing that you wear on the lower half of your body so you might have a trouser suit.

所以這是一件穿在下半身的衣服，所以你可能有一件褲裝。

Or in America, they would call it a pantsuit, where it's basically mainly what men would always wear on what women wear as well also, but we would wear it instead of a skirt or a dress on our lower half of our body.

或者在美國，他們會把它叫做褲裝，在這裡，它基本上主要是男人會一直穿在女人穿的東西上也是如此，但我們會把它代替裙子或裙子穿在我們的下半身。

However, in the UK, this word is what we call underwear.

不過，在英國，這個詞就是我們所說的內褲。

So if someone is talking about your pants, we are actually talking about underwear in the UK So if, for example, you were to go shopping and you ask for the pants department, you might be a bit surprised when the sales assistant takes you to the underwear section.

所以，如果有人在談論你的褲子，我們實際上是在談論英國的內衣，所以，如果，例如，你去購物，你問褲子部門，當銷售助理把你帶到內衣區時，你可能會有點驚訝。

Because if you're in Britain, this is what people would think when you ask where the pants are.

因為如果你在英國，當你問到褲子在哪裡時，人們會這樣想。

I think it's also important to know that this word is also used as a slang way of saying that something is not very good.

我想也要知道，這個詞也是作為一種俚語，說什麼東西不是很好。

So in the UK, we might say something is a bit rubbish if it's not very good or we might also say it's pants.

所以在英國，如果某樣東西不是很好，我們可能會說它有點垃圾，也可能說它是褲子。

So if someone asks you or what did you think of the new movie?

所以如果有人問你或者你覺得新電影怎麼樣？

When you went to the cinema, they might say, Oh, it was pants So they would mean that it wasn't very good.

當你去電影院的時候，他們可能會說："哦，那是褲子，所以他們的意思是說那不是很好。

Take your tie off a least why you won't track see bombs.

把你的領帶摘下來，至少你不會追蹤到炸彈。

The tracksuit bottoms air from lost property as our my new underpants, which I won't show you what's in that bag.

運動服打底褲的空氣從丟失的財產作為我們的新內褲，我不會告訴你什麼是在那個包。

Well, in there are the trousers and pants I water school this morning.

好吧，裡面有我今天早上水校的褲子和褲子。

Are you doing a fashion show or something?

Okay, So keeping in the region of where you wear your pants or your underwear, the next word we're going to look at is bum.

好的，所以保持在你穿褲子或內褲的區域，下一個詞我們要看的是屁股。

So in America, this can actually be a derogatory way of calling ah, homeless person.

所以在美國，這其實可以是一種貶義的稱呼啊，無家可歸的人。

So they might say that there were a lot of bums on the street or something.

所以他們可能會說，街上有很多流浪漢什麼的。

However, if you say this in Britain, people are going to be really confused and think that you are talking about people being naked on the street or something because a bum in the UK is your bottom.

但是，如果你在英國說這句話，人們會非常困惑，認為你說的是人家在大街上裸體什麼的，因為在英國，一個屁股就是你的底褲。

Or you could also say in a rude way, ass and in America they would call it in ass.

或者你也可以不禮貌的說，屁股，在美國他們會叫屁股。

Okay, so be careful with that word as well.

Let's have a look at some examples of this word in use.

我們來看看這個詞的一些使用實例。

Okay, so the next word is actually related to this one because the word is fanny.

好了，下一個詞其實和這個詞是有關係的，因為這個詞是扇子。

So in America, this word actually means your bomb.

所以在美國，這個詞其實是指你的炸彈。

So you might have heard that people wear a fanny pack, which is a kind of a bag that you attach around your waist to keep your belongings in.

所以，你可能聽說過，人們都會戴一個腰包，這是一種套在腰間的包，可以把自己的物品裝在裡面。

It's really handy if you go out running or cycling, for example, whereas in the UK we call this a bum bag.

比如說你出去跑步或者騎車的時候，真的很方便，而在英國，我們把這個叫做bum bag。

But funny, however, in Britain is not the word for bum.

但是，有趣，不過，在英國並不是流浪漢的意思。

It actually means, ah, woman's private area, So her vagina.

其實就是指女人的私密部位，所以她的陰道。

I have seen a lot of people laughing when there is confusion around it, so it's still in the same kind of region, but to very different meanings.

我看到很多人在周圍出現混亂的時候都會笑，所以還是在同一種區域，但意義卻大不相同。

It's really important to notice, well, that this word would only be used amongst close friends because it is British slang, and it's a very informal way off describing this part of the body.

真的很重要的是要注意，這個詞只會在親密的朋友之間使用，因為這是英國的俚語，這是一種非常非正式的方式來描述身體的這個部位。

It's just I've helped an old lady to the toilet, and now she's in the toilet, and I didn't realize the help would extend helping to go on.

只是我扶過一個老太太上廁所，現在她在廁所裡，沒想到幫助會延伸幫助下去。

I don't think it's right for me to see her.

是啊，你不喜歡芬妮的，那麼？

Why am I talking about old ladies families while we're talking about families?

為什麼我們在談論家庭的時候，我卻在談論老太太的家庭？

Okay, so the next word that is used every day in America can also sometimes be used every day in Britain as well is the word knob.

好的，那麼下一個在美國每天都在用的詞，在英國有時也可以每天都在用，就是旋鈕這個詞。

So when you think of this word, you might think of a door knob or the drawer knobs.

所以當你想到這個詞的時候，你可能會想到門把手或者抽屜把手。

So the little handles on the door or on a chest of drawers that allow you to open and close it.

所以門上或抽屜櫃上的小把手，可以讓你打開和關閉它。
