For fluent English, you need vocabulary, common  phrases, idioms, phrasal verbs, even slang.  

要想說一口流利的英語，你需要詞彙、常用短語、習慣用語、短語動詞，甚至是俚語。  

to 不定詞

In this video, we're going to study real English  conversation to get all of these. We're sitting  

在這段視頻中，我們要學習真實的英語對話，把這些都學會。我們坐在

現在進行式

down with my mom, we're working on a knitting  project, and you're going to hear her drop  

下來與我的媽媽，我們正在工作 在一個編織項目，你會聽到她的下降，

some slang in our conversation. Lots of great  vocabulary here, idioms, learn them from my mom  

我們談話中的一些俚語。這裡有很多好的詞彙，成語，跟我媽學的。

and you'll never forget them. As always, if you  like this video, or you learn something new, or if  

你將永遠不會忘記他們。一如既往，如果你喜歡這段視頻，或者你學到了一些新的東西，或者如果

you like my mom, give it a thumbs up and subscribe  with notifications. I'd love to see you back.

你喜歡我的媽媽，請豎起大拇指，用通知訂閱。我很想看到你回來。

When I filmed this, Corona Virus was raging and I  was visiting my parents, so we wore masks inside.  

我拍這個的時候，冠狀病毒正在肆虐，我去看望我的父母，所以我們在裡面戴了口罩

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.

一種裝飾球。它也用於啦啦隊。我們再看一下那個片段。

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

好了，看到了吧，上面寫著繞線。

Wind the yarn. The word wind is a verb. You wind  something. We'll see that later in the video.  

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.

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.  

我們本來計劃一起去旅行，因為病毒的原因，我們以為要取消了。  

It seemed like we would need to cancel. I said it  looks like we're going to have to cancel. And she  

看來我們要取消了。我說，它看起來像我們將不得不取消。然後她

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,  

我們在電話裡也經常使用的一句話。'等一下'表示你要暫停電話交談。

ask the person to wait while  you quickly attend to something.  

請人家等一下，你趕快去辦。  

Can you hold on a second? Could I please get  a latte to go? Okay, I'm back, for example.

你能等一下嗎？能不能給我來杯拿鐵？好吧，我回來了，例如。

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. '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.

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

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

在我看來，這些都像泥巴一樣清晰。所以，她拿著它像這樣，她的。

把它包在這裡。好吧，我知道了

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

我媽媽說'繞著走'。繞來繞去。

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.

I'm trying to learn how to do something. What's  something you've learned how to do by YouTube?
