Yes, it's a single word this time: F-L-U-K-E – 'fluke'.

Yes. And this time the Metro, here in the UK:

是的。而這次是英國這裡的《地鐵報》。

That's 'fallen for' – suddenly started loving someone.

那是'愛上'--突然開始愛一個人。

Yes, we have a phrasal verb. 'Fallen' – F-A-L-L-E-N.

是的，我們有一個短語動詞。'Fallen' - F-A-L-L-E-N。

And the second word is 'for' – F-O-R.

而第二個詞是'為'--F-O-R。

And if you've 'fallen for' someone, you've fallen in love with them.

如果你已經 "愛上 "某人，你就已經愛上了他。

It's a very, very similar expression to 'fall in love'.

這是一個與 "墜入愛河 "非常、非常相似的表達。

If you fall in love with someone, you can say you've 'fallen for them'.

如果你愛上了一個人，你可以說你已經 "愛上了他"。

Now, when you fall in love with somebody,

You can talk about when you 'fell for' your wife or husband.

你可以談談你什麼時候 "愛上 "了你的妻子或丈夫。

We're not saying everybody wants to marry Emma Raducanu,

我們不是說每個人都想嫁給艾瑪-拉杜卡努。

but what we are saying is New York, here – the people of New York –

但我們要說的是紐約，在這裡--紐約的人民----。

have suddenly thought: 'She's great! She's amazing! We love her!

忽然想到：'她很好！她很了不起！'。她很了不起!我們愛她!

We want to know more about her!'

我們想知道更多關於她的資訊！'

All of a sudden, they're all talking about her

突然間，他們都在談論她了

and they think she is amazing.

而且他們認為她很了不起。

So, they've 'fallen for her' means they think she's great: they love her.

所以，他們 "愛上了她 "意味著他們認為她很好：他們愛她。

Does it mean people are falling over then? Are they actually falling?

那麼這是否意味著人們正在跌倒？他們真的摔倒了嗎？

They're not actually dropping to the ground.

他們實際上並沒有掉到地上。

So, it is not that kind of 'fall'.

所以，這不是那種 "墮落"。

It's much more to do with the feelings.

這與感情有很大關係。

So, the word 'fall' is used metaphorically.

是以，"跌倒 "這個詞是用來比喻的。

And I've heard the phrase 'to fall for a joke', for example.

而且我聽說過 "上當受騙 "這個詞，比如說。

Does that mean people are falling in love with jokes?

這是否意味著人們正在愛上笑話？

Now, don't... not to be confused with – yeah.

現在，不要......不要與之混淆--是的。

If you 'fall for someone' you fall in love with them.

如果你 "愛上某人"，你就會愛上他們。

If you 'fall for something', we can often say that that's

如果你 "愛上了什麼"，我們常常可以說，那是

actually to do with a joke or a trick that you were fooled by.

實際上是與你被愚弄的一個笑話或一個把戲有關。

So, for example Rob, if someone rings up from... and says:

所以，比如說羅伯，如果有人從......打電話來，說：

'I'm from your bank. There's a problem with your account. Please log in.'

'我是你的銀行的。你的賬戶有問題。請登錄。

And you log in and give them lots of money and later you think:

而你登錄並給他們很多錢，後來你想。

'Oh no! That was a scam and I fell for it.'

'哦，不！那是一個騙局，我上當了。

It means you were tricked by it,

這意味著你被它欺騙了。

or you can 'fall for a joke' – means that

或者你可以 "上當受騙"--意味著

somebody plays a prank on you and you... you get tricked.

有人對你進行惡作劇，你......你被騙了。

OK. No romance involved there. OK.

好的。這裡不涉及浪漫。好的。

No. Not at all.

不，一點也不。

Excellent. OK. Thanks for that.

很好。好的。謝謝你的建議。

Let's have a summary of that expression:
