Let's listen in.

讓我們聽一聽。

By the way, today's lesson is...

對了，今天的課程是... ...

It's about names that people have in English that are actually used as verbs, nouns, and

這是關於人們在英語中的名字，其實是用作動詞、名詞和。

adjectives; or they have a grammar function.

形容詞；或者它們具有文法功能。

And we're going to look at the board, see their conversation, and try to figure it out,

Okay, anyway, let's go to the board.

好吧，不管怎樣，我們去董事會吧。

So, let's start off at the beginning.

那麼，讓我們從頭說起。

Let's look at names.

我們來看看名字。

"Sue"... "Susan"...

"蘇"..."蘇珊"...

Short form of "Susan" is "Sue".

"蘇珊 "的簡稱是 "蘇"。

Okay?

好嗎？

And what "sue" means is to take someone to court.

而 "告 "的意思是把別人告上法庭。

So, when you sue someone, you can take them to court for money or to get something back.

所以，當你起訴別人的時候，你可以把他告上法庭，要錢或者要回東西。

But "to sue" means to go to court, to take...

但 "起訴 "的意思是上法庭，拿... ...

And make a legal argument that something belongs to you or should come back to you, or you

並從法律上論證某樣東西是屬於你的，或者應該回到你的手中，或者你

want money; compensation for, and it's a verb.

要錢；賠償，而且是個動詞。

Let's look at: "Pat"/"Patrick".

讓我們來看看。"Pat"/"Patrick".

"Patrick", the short form of "Patrick" is "Pat".

"帕特里克"，"帕特里克 "的簡稱是 "帕特"。

And "to pat" somebody is like this, like you do with a dog.

而 "拍打 "某人就像這樣，就像你拍打一隻狗一樣。

You know when you have a cat, and you're like: "Here, what a nice dog, what a nice cat"?

你知道當你養了一隻貓，你就會想，"這，多好的狗，多好的貓"？"給你，多好的狗，多好的貓"？

And sometimes people do it to irritate you, they're like: "That was a really good job

有時人們這樣做是為了激怒你，他們就像，"這是一個非常好的工作

you did!"

你做到了！"

They pat you on the back, and you're like: "I'm not a dog.

他們拍拍你的背，你就像，"我不是一隻狗。

Don't pat me."

不要拍我。"

Okay?

好嗎？

But "a pat" is like that: "Good job.

但 "拍一拍 "是這樣的。"幹得好

Good job.

做得好

Good boy."

好孩子。"

The next one is "Richard".

下一個是 "理查德"。

Now, I don't know why this is, but the short form for "Richard" is "Dick".

現在，我不知道這是為什麼，但 "理查德 "的簡稱是 "迪克"。

Okay?

好嗎？

And "dick", if you watch...

而 "雞巴"，如果你看... ...

Well, if you like Batman-some of you do-the first Robin's name was Dick Grayson.

如果你喜歡蝙蝠俠--你們中的一些人喜歡--第一個羅賓的名字是迪克-格雷森。

His real name was Richard Grayson, and the short name was Dick Grayson.

他的真名是理查德-格雷森，簡稱為迪克-格雷森。

And when we say: "to dick", it means to play around; not to be serious, to act like an

而當我們說，"老二 "的意思是玩玩而已，不是認真的，要表現得像個...

amateur or in a childish way.

業餘的或幼稚的方式。

So, if you're dicking around at work, it means you're not doing your job.

所以，如果你在工作中混日子，說明你不務正業。

And if you're dicking around, you're playing.

而如果你在玩，你就在玩。

I'd say: "Stop dicking around."

我會說："別再胡鬧了"

It means: "Stop fooling around.

意思是："不要再胡鬧了。

Stop playing around."

別玩了。"

"Nick".

"尼克"。

"Nick" means to make a small cut.

"Nick "的意思是小打小鬧。

You go: "What is 'small cut'?"

你去吧"什麼是'小切'？"

Well, you can do a small cut two ways.

好吧，你可以用兩種方式進行小切。

I'm going to give you my favourite example, which is the rose.

我舉個我最喜歡的例子，那就是玫瑰。

When you have a rose, it has what's called a 'thorn'.

當你有一朵玫瑰時，它有一個叫做 "刺 "的東西。

When you put your finger here, you get cut.

當你把手指放在這裡時，你會被割傷。

You get a small cut, which is a nick.

你會被劃出一個小口子，也就是一個缺口。

But also when you shave, you know, when you've got your little shaver, and you get a little

但當你刮鬍子的時候，你知道，當你拿著你的小剃刀，你會得到一個小的。

cut, you nick yourself.

切，你自己也會受傷。

So, "a nick" is a small cut or a scratch.

所以，"缺口 "就是一個小傷口或劃痕。

All right?

好嗎？

"Bill, B-B-B-B-B-Bill".

"比爾，B-B-B-B-B-比爾"。

Well, "Bill" can be either "Bill" or "Will".

好吧，"比爾 "可以是 "比爾"，也可以是 "威爾"。

Okay?

好嗎？

And I should have said, in this case, it's a verb, so we're looking here.

我應該說，在這種情況下，它是一個動詞，所以我們在這裡尋找。

So, "William", you can make it either "Bill" or "Will".

所以，"威廉"，你可以把它變成 "比爾 "或 "威爾"。

Once again, "Will" makes sense; I don't know why "Bill".

再次，"威爾 "說得通，我不知道為什麼是 "比爾"。

Maybe because if you take the "B"...

也許是因為如果你把 "B"... ...

I have no idea.

我也不知道

I'm just making this up; it's not real.

我只是在瞎編，這不是真的。

But if you take the "B" here and you make it like that, maybe.

但如果你把這裡的 "B"，你把它做成這樣，也許。

I don't know; I didn't make it up.

我不知道，不是我編的。

But "bill", in one case, is to give a paper asking for money.

但 "賬單"，有一種情況是給一張紙要錢。

So, when somebody says: "Bill me", it means: "Send me the amount...

所以，當有人說："給我開個賬單"，意思是："把錢寄給我...

A paper with the amount that I should give to you."

一張紙，上面寫著我應該給你的金額。"

Maybe I had dinner and I bought some things, so you're going to send the bill with a dinner,

說不定我吃了飯，買了些東西，你就會把賬單和飯菜一起送過來。

the book, the coffee, and it will say how much money I must give to you.

They bill you, right?

到了月底，他們會說，"你已經做了這個，這個，這個，還有這個。

Please pay this much money."

請付這麼多錢。"

That's a bill; you've been billed.

那是一張賬單，你已經收到了賬單。

"Will"...

"威爾"...

Well, you've studied grammar, I'm sure.

你肯定學過文法吧？

It's a modal verb for intention or future, so: "I will go" or "I will do it"-my intent-"but

這是一個情態動詞，表示意圖或未來，所以。"我會去 "或 "我會去做"--我的意圖--"但是

it's very difficult to be open and honest in these situations.

在這種情況下，很難做到開誠佈公。

So, when someone says: "I need to be frank", they literally mean: "I need to be open and

哦，請原諒我。

I forgot to mention that when we said: "frank", "frank" is not a verb like the other ones;

我們說的時候我忘了說。"坦率"，"坦率 "和其他的動詞不一樣。

it's actually an adjective.

它實際上是一個形容詞。

"He had a frank manner", "They had a frank conversation."

"他的態度很坦率"，"他們的談話很坦率"

Okay?

好嗎？

So, unlike a verb, it's an adjective; it describes it.

所以，與動詞不同，它是形容詞，它描述的是它。

And finally, let's go to "John".

最後，我們去找 "約翰"。

"John" equals, well, "John".

"約翰 "等於，嗯，"約翰"。
