And we're still in the UK, this time with the Guardian – the headline:

而我們仍然在英國，這次是《衛報》--標題。

'Upsets' – occasions when someone wins something another

顛覆"--當某人贏得另一件事時的場合

person or team was expected to win.

個人或團隊有望獲勝。

Yes. OK. The spelling: U-P-S-E-T-S.

是的。好的。的拼寫。U-P-S-E-T-S。

This is a plural noun and it's pronounced 'upsets'.

這是一個複數名詞，其發音為'upsets'。

'Upsets' as opposed to 'upset'... because that's a different word.

'Upsets'與'upset'相對......因為那是一個不同的詞。

Yes... it is. It's the same spelling, but it's a verb.

是的......它是。它的拼寫相同，但它是一個動詞。

In the verb form it's 'to upset', and the adjective form

在動詞形式中，它是 "打亂"，而在形容詞形式中則是

– if you are 'upset', you're not happy about something.

- 如果你 "不高興"，你對某件事情不滿意。

But in the noun form, it's an 'upset' with the stress on the 'up-'.

但在名詞形式中，它是一個 "不安"，重音在 "上-"。

Yeah. So, an 'upset' is when the team that is supposed to have won,

是的。所以，"不高興 "是指本應獲勝的球隊。

or the person who is supposed to have won, doesn't win.

或本應獲勝的人卻沒有獲勝。

Exactly that.

正是如此。

And I'm afraid I'm going to mention...

而我恐怕要提到...

our Brazilian – our Brazilian followers might want to cover their eyes.

我們的巴西人--我們的巴西追隨者可能想捂住他們的眼睛。

Or ears...!

或耳朵...!

I'm going to mention the World Cup 2014

when Brazil were playing against Germany in the semi-final.

Everybody thought Brazil was going to win and what happened?

Yeah, yeah.

是的，是的。

But all of these words are connected, aren't they? They're all connected

但是所有這些詞都是有聯繫的，不是嗎？它們都是有聯繫的

and the key is that word 'set' that you find in the middle.

而關鍵是你在中間找到的那個 "集 "字。

Yes, exactly. And 'set' means settled or secure. But if you

是的，沒錯。而'設定'意味著定居或安全。但如果你

'upset' something, you unsettle it or you make it not secure.

擾亂 "一些東西，你讓它不安，或者你讓它不安全。

So, whether it's the noun, the verb, or the adjective, that's the idea.

所以，無論是名詞、動詞還是形容詞，都是這個意思。

Something that was secure and settled now isn't secure and settled,

以前安全和安定的東西現在不安全和安定了。

  and that has an effect.

而這是有影響的。

Yeah. So, for example, global warming has 'upset' the climate.

是的。是以，舉例來說，全球變暖已經 "破壞 "了氣候。

Yes.

是的。

沒有，但氣候已經受到嚴重影響，而且可能再次受到影響

people are 'upset' about the effects of the 'upset' to the climate.

人們對 "不安 "對氣候的影響感到 "不安"。

Absolutely. OK. Now, let's get a summary:
