My mom knit me a hat and we were going to make  a pom-pom to put on top but we didn't know how.

我媽媽給我織了一頂帽子，我們打算做一個絨球放在上面，但我們不知道怎麼做。

But you've just never-- I've just never put a pom-pom on a hat. 

但你只是從來沒有 -- 我只是從來沒有把絨球戴在帽子上。

Okay, what do the instructions say?  This thing is not self-explanatory.

好吧，說明書上怎麼說？ 這東西不是自明的。

If something needs instructions, that's the  opposite of self-explanatory. If something is  

如果某件事情需要說明，那就是自明的反面。如果某件事情是

self-explanatory, that means you can understand  it by looking at it, it's easily understood,  

不言自明，也就是說你看一眼就能明白，很容易理解。

it's clear by looking at how to figure it  out, how to do it. If that's not the case,  

看看怎麼弄明白，怎麼做就清楚了。如果不是這樣的情況。

then you need instructions. A pompom is  exactly what you'll see us make here,  

然後你需要說明。絨球就是你將看到我們在這裡做的東西。

an ornamental ball. It's also used in  cheerleading. Let's see that clip again.

Okay, see, it says wind the yarn.

好了，看到了吧，上面寫著繞線。

纏繞紗線。風這個詞是個動詞。你繞的東西。我們稍後會看到，在視頻中。

Wind. Wind. Wind. Past tense is wound. But  these four letters can also be pronounced  

風，風風。 風。風，風過去式是wound。但這四個字母也可以讀作：

wind, the natural movement of air. Here it's wind,  wind the yarn, wrap it around this pompom maker.

風，是空氣的自然流動。這裡是風，把紗線繞起來，纏在這個絨球製造機上。

Are they both out at the same time? Yeah, it looks like it. 

他們是同時出來的嗎？是的，看起來是這樣。

So... And you start here  at the base, it looks like. 

所以，你從這裡開始的基礎，它看起來像。

Now hold on, there are four of these things.

等等，這些東西有四種。

Twice there, I used the phrase 'it looks  like'. This means 'it seems like this is  

在那裡，我有兩次用了'看起來像'這個詞。意思是 "好像是這樣的"。

true' or 'this will be true' but it doesn't have  to be something you can see, that you can actually  

真實 "或 "這將是真實的"，但它不一定是你可以看到的東西，你可以實際

look at. For example, I was talking to  my friend Laura on the phone in the fall.  

看。比如，我在秋天和朋友勞拉通電話。

We had a trip planned together and because of the  virus, we thought we were going to have to cancel.

said it looks that way. It seems that it will  be true, that we'll have to cancel our trip.  

說它看起來是這樣的。看來這將是真的， 我們將不得不取消我們的行程。

I also said, now hold on. 'Hold  on' is a phrasal verb that means  

我還說，現在抓緊。'Hold on'是一個短語動詞，意思是說

two different things. Hold on, get a grip on  something, like a, here, a pencil, hold on.

兩種不同的東西。抓緊，抓緊某樣東西，比如，這裡，一支鉛筆，抓緊。

It also means wait, stop. And that's how I mean  it here. Now hold on, wait, stop. There are four  

它也意味著等待，停止。這就是我在這裡的意思。等一下，等一下，停一下。有四個

of these things. I thought there are only two. How  does that make sense with the directions? This is  

這些東西的。我以為只有兩個。這怎麼和方向說得通呢？這個是

a phrase we use on the phone a lot too. 'Hold on'  means you're going to pause a phone conversation,

Are they both out at the same time? Yeah, it looks like it. 

他們是同時出來的嗎？是的，看起來是這樣。

So, and you start here at the base, it looks like. Now, hold on. There are four of these things.

Maybe a YouTube video is in order.  What do you think? These are about  

也許YouTube的視頻是為了。 你覺得呢？這些是關於

在我看來，像泥一樣清晰。是啊，他們不是很清楚吧。

Maybe a YouTube video is in order. 'In order'  has two different meanings. Here it means  

也許YouTube的視頻是為了。'按部就班'有兩種不同的意思。這裡的意思是

appropriate to the situation. The situation, the  directions were hard to understand. Watching a  

適合的情。情況，方向很難理解。看著一個

how-to video on YouTube was definitely appropriate  to the situation. Here's another example. Someone  

YouTube上的如何操作視頻絕對適合這種情況。這裡還有一個例子。有人

Let's study the phrase 'what do you think'? I  said 'what do you think' a little stress on the  

我們來學習'你怎麼看'這句話？我說'你覺得呢'這句話有點強調。

question word, wuh-- wuh-- stress on the verb  think, think, think. And I had some reductions.  

疑問詞，wuh -- wuh -- 在動詞上強調think，think，think。我有一些減少。

not easy to understand. Mud is  opaque, you can't see through it,  

不容易理解。泥巴是不透明的，你看不透它。

it's not clear. Something that's  hard to understand is clear as mud.

不清楚。一些難以理解的東西，就像泥巴一樣清晰。

These are about as clear as mud in my opinion. So she's holding it like this and she's

wrapping it around here. Right.

把它包在這裡。好吧，我知道了

My mom said 'wrapping it around'. Wrap around.

所以她就這樣拿著它，然後把它包在這裡。

Right.

好吧，我知道了

But then-- 

但是...

I mean, I, apparently, I would say you do the  same for each one? But it doesn't say that.

我的意思是，我，顯然，我會說你對每一個人都是一樣的？但它並沒有說。

I used the adverb apparently. I was describing  what to do, what I thought the directions were  

我用的是副詞顯然。我是在描述該怎麼做，我認為方向是什麼。

saying, but I wasn't sure. The instructions didn't  actually say to do that. It's what I was guessing  

說，但我不確定。說明書上其實並沒有說要這麼做。這就是我所猜測的

based on what I saw in the directions. Apparently  means as far as one can know, see, or understand.

"我喜歡 "是什麼意思？我們經常用 "我喜歡"，"她喜歡"，"他喜歡"，當我們

telling the story of a past conversation. It's  equal to saying: I said, she said, and so on.  

講述過去談話的故事。這等於說。我說，她說，等等。

Here's an example from a YouTube video.  She's like 'Dad you can't believe it.'

I'm like, she's like. Here, talking to  my mom, I'm not retelling a conversation. 

我很喜歡，她的樣子。在這裡，和我媽說話，我不是重述對話。

But we also use this to say our  opinion on something, our feelings.  

但是我們也會用這個來表達我們對某件事的看法，我們的感受。

My feeling was, if I was going to put a  pompom on a hat it might as well be a big one.

我的感覺是，如果要在帽子上放一個絨球，還不如放一個大的。

I think you might want the small one actually. I want a big pompom. I'm like, if you're

Geez is an exclamation used to show surprise or  annoyance. It comes from Jesus which can offend  

嘖嘖是一種感嘆詞，用來表示驚訝或惱怒。它來自於耶穌，可以冒犯

people when used in this context. Jesus, you don't  have to shout. So instead of that, you can say:  

人，當用在這種情況下。天啊，你不必大喊大叫。所以，你可以說，代替這句話。

geez, you don't have to shout! Adding Louise,  a first name that can be given to women,  

天啊，你不用大喊大叫的!加上路易絲，這個名字可以給女性。

doesn't change the meaning. I would say  this is a little old-fashioned. Geez Louise,  

並沒有改變意思。我想說這有點老套了。天啊，路易絲

but I still use it sometimes, it's definitely  way less common than just saying geez.

但我有時還是會用，它絕對比只說哎呀少了很多。

Wow, oh wow. Okay. Geez Louise. 

哇，哦，哇。好吧。吉茲路易斯。

Yeah. It's completely beyond me to understand  how this is going to become a pompom.

是啊，我完全不明白這怎麼會變成絨球。

是的，就是這樣。Covid時間。這將是顯而易見的，因為面具。

Obvious. This is something that is  easily understood, that is clear.  

顯而易見。這是很容易理解的事情，很明顯的事情。

It's very different from using beyond me.  If it's beyond me, I don't understand it.  

這和用超越我的方法很不一樣。 如果是超越我的，我就不懂了。

If it's obvious, it's clear and I do understand  it. it's also the opposite of clear as mud,

如果是明顯的，那就是清楚的，我是明白的.這也是清澈如泥的反面。

I really couldn't believe how much winding I  had to do. But eventually I finished that side  

我真的不敢相信自己要做多少繞口令。但最終我還是完成了那邊的工作

and had to move on to the other side. I wasn't  quite sure how to move from one side to the next.

Now, I said before that WIND can  be wind or wind. In the past tense,  

現在，我之前說過，WIND可以是風，也可以是風。用的是過去式。

WOUND, that's also two words. We have the past  tense of wind, wound, but it's also pronounced  

wound，這也是兩個字。我們有風的過去式，wound，但它的發音也是

wound, which means to injure someone, or an  injury. When you have a word like this that has
