A lot of times in English we use shapes to describe things.

在英語中，很多時候我們用形狀來描述事物。

For most students, they have the classic shapes: Square, circle, and triangle; and I'm going

對於大多數學生來說，他們有經典的形狀。正方形，圓形，三角形，而我要去的是

to today teach you a few other shapes that we use, which are sometimes a combination

今天要教大家一些其他的形狀，我們使用的，這有時是一個組合。

of shapes that we can use to accurately describe real-world things.

的形狀，我們可以用它來準確描述現實世界的事物。

Okay?

Okay?

好嗎？

All right, so, E, you're going to get yourself a new suit, and it seems you have a cylindrical

好吧，那麼，E，你要給自己買一套新衣服，看來你有一個圓柱形的... ...

body, and you're talking about your head is oval.

身，你說的是你的頭是橢圓形的。

Well, I guess it is kind of egg-shaped, isn't it?

嗯，我想它是一種蛋形的，不是嗎？

Okay, so let's look at the usual suspects: The square... sorry.

好了，讓我們看看通常的嫌疑人。廣場... 抱歉

The circle, the square, and the triangle.

圓形、方形和三角形。

We talk about these shapes all the time.

我們一直在談論這些形狀。

Many students say, you know: "Teacher, it's like a square; it's like a circle", they don't

很多學生說，你知道嗎？"老師，它像一個正方形，它像一個圓形"，他們不知道。

even use this one.

甚至用這個。

Sometimes we say this: "Round".

有時我們會這樣說。"圓"。

We use "round" to describe something that's circular.

我們用 "圓 "來形容圓形的東西。

Oops, I just told you one of the words you're going to learn, but you'll see what I mean.

哎呀，我只是告訴你一個你要學的字，但你會明白我的意思。

And these are pretty good for describing the world, but the world we live in aren't nice,

而這些都是很好的描述世界，但我們生活的世界並不美好。

complete shapes.

完整的形狀。

In fact, sometimes they're mixed, so I'm going to try to give you as much as I can.

其實，有時候也是參差不齊的，所以我要儘量給你提供更多的資訊。

And you see me looking around for objects I might be able to find in the real world

你看我到處找尋我可能在現實世界中找到的東西。

that you use every day that you can actually start going: "Wow, I can use my English and

你每天都在用的東西，你可以真正開始去。"哇，我可以用我的英語和

it's actually... these strange words have real meaning."

其實... ...這些奇怪的詞是有實際意義的。"

So, let's look at the first one: A "cone".

那麼，我們來看第一個。一個 "錐體"。

Sorry, it's a circle with a triangle.

對不起，這是一個圓與一個三角形。

I did it again.

我又做了一次。

So, when you look here, you put these two together-okay?-and they form this weird kind

所以，當你看這裡，你把這兩個放在一起，好嗎？

of, I don't know... you might say... sometimes you've seen in the old movies when they would

的，我不知道... 你可能會說... 有時你會看到在老電影中，當他們會...

have, like, a megaphone: "Helllloo?"

有一樣，一個擴音器。"Helllloo？"

Okay?

好嗎？

That's a cone-shaped.

那是一個圓錐型的。

When I was born, I had a cone shape.

當我出生時，我的形狀是錐體。

They pulled me out, and my head was kind of like that.

他們把我拉了出來，我的頭有點像那樣。

It's embarrassing, but true.

這很尷尬，但卻是事實。

Anyway, so, a cone.

總之，所以，一個錐子。

I don't have anything for a cone, unfortunately.

很不幸，我沒有錐子的東西。

But I know something all of you enjoy in the summertime.

但我知道你們大家在夏天都喜歡的東西。

Just take this, make it upside down.

就拿這個來說，把它顛倒過來。

And when you go for ice cream, you will say: "Can I have a blueberry ice cream, please?

當你去吃冰淇淋的時候，你會說，"請給我一個藍莓冰激凌，好嗎？

And I want it on a cone", and they will give you a cone.

我想把它放在錐子上"，他們會給你一個錐子。

There, ice cream cone.

好了，冰激凌筒。

Didn't think I could do it, but there you go: Ice cream cone - that's the first one.

我以為我做不到，但你去吧。冰淇淋筒--那是第一個。

And, really, it is a circle with a triangle mixed together.

而且，真的是一個圓形與一個三角形混在一起。

All right?

好嗎？

So let's look at the next one: "Semi-circle".

那麼我們來看下一個。"半圓"。

Well, if I'm from Jamaica, man, you know what I mean, because it's a patty.

好吧，如果我是牙買加人，夥計，你知道我的意思， 因為它是一個餡餅。

A "patty" is a food in Jamaica, but a "semi-circle" is half a circle.

在牙買加，"餈粑 "是一種食物，但 "半圓 "是半圓。

But I have a better one for you for that.

但我有一個更好的給你。

A lot of times when you have... because I do teach kids when I'm not here, and I want

很多時候，當你有... 因為我做教孩子 當我不在這裡，我想。

them to sit down, I ask them to sit down in a semi-circle or a semi-circle, okay?

他們坐下來，我請他們坐成半圓或半圓，好嗎？

And it means they sit in a half-a-circle formation, so I can stand here and talk and then they

這意味著他們坐在一個半圓的陣型， 所以我可以站在這裡說話，然後他們...

sit around me.

坐在我身邊。

Right?

對吧？

Because I don't want them behind me in a circular formation.

因為我不想讓他們在我身後排成圓陣。

Another word for saying "semi-circle" is... to describe this, you would say: "semi-circular".

"半圓 "的另一個詞是... 描述這個，你會說，"半圓"。"半圓"。

Semi-circular, that means half a circle.

半圓，就是半圓的意思。

So, a semi-circle is what it is, but it's a semi-circular shape; half of a circle.

所以，半圓是什麼，但它是一個半圓的形狀，半圓的一半。

Cool?

酷嗎？

All right.

好吧，我知道了

Want to go for the next one?

要不要去參加下一場？

The next one I have something for you: A "cylinder".

下一個我有東西給你。一個 "圓筒"。

Now, what is a "cylinder"?

現在，什麼是 "圓柱體"？

Do you remember I told you?

你還記得我告訴過你嗎？

In some cases what we have is things are mixed together in reality because you cannot get

在某些情況下，我們有的是事情在現實中混在一起，因為你不能得到的。

just a square, and a triangular, or a circle shape.

只是一個正方形，和一個三角形，或者圓形的形狀。

A cylinder is: Take a square and pull it out, and then make it round, and you have a cylinder.

一個圓柱體就是。把一個正方形拉出來，然後把它做成圓形，就成了一個圓柱體。

And I'm sure you're saying: "Okay, what are you talking about?

我相信你一定會說， And I'm sure you're saying, "Okay, what are you talking about?"好吧，你在說什麼？

I don't understand."

我不明白。"

This is a cylinder.

這是一個圓柱體。

The marker is long and round.

記號筆又長又圓。

And if that's not good enough for you, your bottles of water are cylinders.

如果這對你來說還不夠好，你的水瓶是圓柱體。

We cut them off at the ends, but it's a cylinder.

我們把它們的兩端剪掉，但它是一個圓柱體。

And for those of you, like my French friends, you'll know a cylinder that makes you very

對於那些像我的法國朋友一樣的人，你會知道一個圓柱體，讓你非常的

happy.

幸福的。

Yeah?

是嗎？

Yes.

是的，我知道

Yeah?

是嗎？

Makes me happy, too.

讓我也很高興。

So, the cylinder part is here.

所以，氣缸部分就在這裡。

You might even say this is a bit of a cone here, so we've got the two shapes together;

你甚至可以說這裡有點像圓錐體，所以我們把這兩個形狀放在一起。

but really we're looking at the cylinder - it's round.

但實際上我們是在看圓柱體--它是圓的。

And that's why I said in many real-world objects we talk about, you would say: "But I wouldn't

這就是為什麼我說在很多現實世界的對象，我們談論，你會說。"但我不會

say it's a cylinder."

說它是一個圓柱體。"

And you're right, because you're going: "James, that's not really a cylinder."

你是對的，因為你要去。"詹姆斯，這不是一個真正的圓柱體。"

I go: "It's not, but it is... it is cylindrical, like a cylinder."

我走了。"它不是，但它是..:"它不是，但它是... 它是圓柱形的，像一個圓柱體。"

You'll notice when we have the cylindrical and you go circular, they're descriptive,

你會注意到，當我們有圓柱形，你去圓形，他們是描述性的。

so I'm giving you what it is - the shape.

所以我給你的是什麼--形狀。

But how would I use this in real life?

但是，在現實生活中，我會如何使用呢？

I wouldn't say: "This is a cylinder."

我不會說："這是一個圓柱體"

Because if someone told me this is a cylinder, I'd say they're wrong.

因為如果有人告訴我這是一個圓柱體，我會說他們錯了。

If they told me it's cylindrical, I'd go: "Yeah, it's round, it's long.

如果他們告訴我它是圓柱形的，我會去。"是的，它是圓的，它是長的。

It's a square that's been pulled, and it's got circles; it's cylindrical."

這是一個被拉開的正方形，它有圓形，它是圓柱形的。"

Same with a marker - it's cylindrical.

和記號筆一樣--它是圓柱形的。

Cool, right?

酷吧？

And now you sound very intelligent.

現在你聽起來非常聰明。

"Can you pass me that cylindrical wine bottle, not the square one?

"能不能把那個圓柱形的酒瓶遞給我，不是方形的？

No, no, no.

不，不，不。

I don't want boxed wine; I want a bottle of wine.

我不要盒裝酒，我要一瓶酒。

Thank you."

謝謝你。"

Okay?

好嗎？

Cool.

爽啊

So that's "cylindrical".

所以這就是 "圓柱體"。

Now let's look at the other one.

現在讓我們看看另一個。

"Egg shape".

"蛋形"。

You've seen this in life, and I don't have one, but you know what one is.

你在生活中見過這個，我沒有，但你知道什麼是 "一"。

But what do we call it?

但我們叫它什麼呢？

You can't...

你不能...

well, you can say everything is egg shape, but that's so unsophisticated and I know you've

你可以說所有的東西都是蛋形的，但那太不成熟了，我知道你已經...

been one of our viewers for a while, so you want the... the good vocabulary.

一直是我們的觀眾之一 有一段時間，所以你想... 良好的詞彙。

Well, we would say this: "Oval".

好吧，我們會這樣說。"橢圓"。

And I've met many people who actually have oval heads.

而且我見過很多人其實都是橢圓頭。

Remember I said I had kind of a cone head?

還記得我說過我有種錐子頭嗎？

Well, some people have oval heads, so the base is bigger than the top.

嗯，有些人的頭是橢圓形的，所以底子比上面大。

Right?

對吧？

It's actually quite a pretty shape.

其實它的外形很好看。

There's also "heart-shaped", and I'll give you that one.

還有 "心形"，我給你說。

And when they say: "Heart-shaped", it's like this, like a heart.

而當他們說。"心形"，是這樣的，就像一顆心。

Okay.

好吧，我知道了

Some people have heart-shaped heads.

有些人的頭是心形的。

They don't have two bumps, but you can say: "Heart-shaped" or "Oval-shaped", and this

他們沒有兩個凸點，但你可以說。"心形 "或 "橢圓"，還有這個。

can be descriptive for somebody's face.

Okay?

好嗎？

All right, so we're there.

好吧，所以我們在那裡。

Let's move on to the next one: "Sphere".

我們繼續下一個。"球體"。

Well, a "sphere" is a round... round thing, like a full circle that's three-dimensional,

嗯，"球體 "是一個圓... 圓的東西，就像一個完整的圓，是立體的。

okay?

好嗎？

And you're probably thinking: "Besides the planet Earth, where is James going to get

你可能在想，"除了地球之外，詹姆斯還能從哪裡獲得

a sphere for me to see?"

一個球體給我看？"

Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dunh.

There's a circle, and a circle, and a circle goes in three dimensions.

有圓有方，有方有圓，有方有圓的立體。

Our planet is "spherical".

我們的地球是 "球形 "的。

Notice I stopped saying the word "sphere" and I changed that word for "sphere" or "spherical"?

注意到我不再說 "球體 "這個詞了，我把這個詞改成了 "球體 "或 "球形"？

Because that's what it is.

因為這就是它。

To describe something, you say: "It's spherical."

為了描述某個東西，你說："它是球形的"

Sorry.

對不起，我不知道

There we go.

我們走吧

Spherical, meaning three-dimensional, round ball.

球形，意為立體、圓球。

We could also use a simple word: "Round".

我們也可以用一個簡單的詞："圓"。

Right?

對吧？

It's round, which doesn't mean just circle; it means it has to have some kind of volume

它是圓的，這並不意味著只是圓的，它意味著它必須有一定的體積。

around it so you can see height, length, and depth.

在它的周圍，你可以看到高度、長度和深度。

Not bad, see?

Helps me... reminds me of my old math days, except now it makes sense to me.

幫助我... ... 讓我想起了我以前的數學時代， 除了現在我覺得有意義。

[Laughs]

[笑]

Okay, so we've got the long, round shape of the cylinder; we've got the round shape of

好了，我們已經得到了長長的圓筒形狀；我們已經得到了圓筒的形狀。

the sphere; we've got the egg shape or the oval; we've got the circle with the triangle

球體；我們有蛋形或橢圓形；我們有圓形與三角形

for the cone or remember my head-okay?-we've got the semi-circle and remember the kids

我們已經得到了半圓，並記住了孩子們的頭。

are sitting around it for half a circle.

正在圍著它坐了半圈。

So, these are all circular things.

所以，這些都是循環的事情。

What about the other ones?

那其他的呢？

Well, let's just step over here-right-and let's talk about things that have more of

好吧，讓我們在這裡一步 - 右 - 讓我們來談談的事情，有更多的。

this case we're being rectangular, it also has other dimensions.

這種情況下我們是長方形的，它也有其他的尺寸。

Cool?

All right.

好吧，我知道了

Now we're getting somewhere.

現在，我們得到的地方。

Now: "Cube".

現在，"立方體"。"立方體"。

we elongate it, then we kind of put round edges on it.

我們把它拉長，然後我們把圓邊上的那種。

And I'm sure you guys are going to go: "Okay, what is that?"
