'Stable', 'heartfelt' and 'eye-opening'. So,

穩定"、"發自內心 "和 "令人大開眼界"。所以。

let's start with your first headline, with that word 'stable', please.

讓我們從你的第一個標題開始，用 "穩定 "這個詞，請。

Yes, we're at Sky first of all – the headline:

是的，我們在天空首先是--頭條。

'Stable' – fixed; not likely to change.

穩定'--固定的；不可能改變。

如果我沒有它，它就會搖擺不定。我現在就在晃動我的三腳架。

Right. That's very 'unstable'. You've got an 'unstable' picture there.

對。那是非常'不穩定'的。你有一個'不穩定'的畫面。

Yes, I have, yeah. So, 'stable' is used to talk about

是的，我有，是的。所以，'穩定'是用來談論的

physical things like this tripod, but we can also use it, like many...

物質的東西，如這個三腳架，但我們也可以使用它，像許多...

like many items of vocabulary, in figurative way.

像許多詞彙項目一樣，以比喻的方式。

Yes, absolutely. So, 'stable' here is referring to his physical

是的，絕對的。是以，這裡的'穩定'是指他的身體

condition – his medical condition – saying that if something's...

條件--他的醫療條件--說，如果有什麼東西...

if you're 'stable' medically, it means you are not changing:

如果你在醫學上是 "穩定 "的，那就意味著你沒有變化。

you're not getting worse. You're probably not getting better,

你沒有變得更糟。你可能沒有變得更好。

but it means that your condition is not changing so it's not as

但這意味著你的病情沒有變化，所以它不像

worrying as when your condition is critical or deteriorating.

當你的病情危急或惡化時，就會擔心。

It basically means very little change.

這基本上意味著很少有變化。

Yeah. And we can use it to talk about, sort of, situations in general.

是的。而且我們可以用它來談論，某種程度上，一般情況下。

For example, the economy can be described as 'stable'.

例如，經濟可以被描述為 "穩定"。

Yes, when there's not great periods of economic change, where investments

是的，當沒有大的經濟變化時期，投資

aren't changing too much, things aren't going up and down too much,

沒有太大的變化，事情沒有太大的起伏。

we can say: 'It's stable.' You can talk about other things, like...

我們可以說：'它很穩定。你可以談論其他事情，例如

you can be in a 'stable relationship'.

你可以處於一個 "穩定的關係"。

That means the kind of relationship where there isn't lots of drama,

這意味著是那種沒有很多戲劇性的關係。

you're not arguing and breaking up and getting back together;

你們不是在爭吵，分手後又複合。

you just have a strong, solid, reliable relationship.

你只是有一個強大、堅實、可靠的關係。

Yeah. And you've already mentioned it,

是的。而且你已經提到了。

but the negative of 'stable' is 'unstable'.

但 "穩定 "的反義詞是 "不穩定"。

That's right, yes. So, if you're in an 'unstable relationship',

這是正確的，是的。所以，如果你處於 "不穩定的關係"。

you're doing lots of breaking up and arguing.

你在做很多分手和爭吵的事情。

If the economy is 'unstable',

如果經濟是'不穩定的'。

it means there's lots of ups and downs with the economic situation.

這意味著經濟形勢有很多起伏。

Now, like with most words in most languages, there are different

現在，就像大多數語言中的大多數詞一樣，有不同的

versions of the word. We've been looking at the adjective...

該詞的版本。我們一直在關注形容詞...

we've been looking at the adjective.

我們一直在看形容詞。

We can also turn this into a noun: 'stability'.

我們也可以把它變成一個名詞："穩定"。

Yes, we can... yeah. So, that would be 'stability'.

是的，我們可以......是的。所以，這將是 "穩定"。

That's S-T-A-B-I-L-I-T-Y

這就是S-A-B-I-L-I-T-Y

and the negative of that is 'instability',

而其負面效應是 "不穩定"。

so starting with an 'in-', the prefix 'in-',

所以以 "in-"開頭，前綴為 "in-"。

is the opposite of 'stability' as a noun.

是與作為名詞的 "穩定 "相反。

So, we've got 'unstable', but 'instability'.

是以，我們已經有了 "不穩定"，但 "不穩定"。

Yes! Different prefix there: from 'un-' to 'in-'.

是的!那裡的前綴不同：從'un-'到'in-'。

And it gets worse, I'm afraid...

恐怕情況會越來越糟......。

I'm afraid it does, yeah.

恐怕是這樣的，是的。

...because the verb form of this word 'stable' is 'stabilise'.

...因為這個詞'穩定'的動詞形式是'穩定'。

Yes. And the opposite of that is...?

是的。而與此相反的是......？

'Destabilise'. Yeah.

'破壞穩定'。是的。

So, we've got all the different prefixes: we've got 'unstable',

是以，我們已經有了所有不同的前綴：我們已經有了 "不穩定"。

'instability' and 'destabilise'. And just to make it slightly more

'不穩定'和'不穩定'。而只是為了讓它稍微更

complicated, there are two ways to say... to spell 'stabilise'.

複雜，有兩種說法......來拼寫'穩定'。

If you're here in the UK, you spell it with an 's' in the middle.

如果你是在英國，你就在中間加一個 "s "來拼寫。

If you're speaking American English, it's with a 'z'.

如果你說的是美式英語，那就是用'z'。

Yeah. I would like to apologise on behalf of the English language

是的，我想代表英語語言道歉

for the complicated collection of prefixes connected to this word.

為與該詞相連的複雜的前綴集合。

Yeah... sorry everyone.

是的......對不起大家。
