是以，這是一個三個字的表達。

And it basically means to relax after a serious problem or event.

Now, I'm familiar with that word 'sighs'.

I think we all do it when we sit down and we relax:

我想我們都會這樣做，當我們坐下來，我們放鬆。

we 'sigh'. We make this noise, a 'sigh', don't we?

我們'嘆息'。我們發出這種聲音，'嘆息'，不是嗎？

Yeah, it's like: 'Ahhh.' So... very good.

是以，舉例來說，如果你有頭痛，你可以服用...

some kind of medication to give you pain 'relief'.

某種藥物可以讓你的疼痛得到 "緩解"。

But in this headline we mustn't take this literally.

但在這個標題中，我們決不能從字面上理解這一點。

We're not hearing lots of people going, 'Ahhh,' are we?

我們沒有聽到很多人去'啊'，是嗎？

No. No, we're not. It's basically used as an expression

to say that after a serious problem or a situation,

負面情況下，我們現在可以放鬆了。

And what other situations might we give a 'sigh of relief'?

Well, I can give you a really good personal example.

OK. Let's move on to your next headline please.

好的。讓我們繼續討論你的下一個頭條新聞。

OK. So, our next headline is an opinion piece

好的。是以，我們的下一個頭條是一篇意見文章

That's 'big blow' — large unexpected negative event.

這就是 "大打擊"--大型意外的負面事件。

好的。所以，這是一個兩個字的表達。

First word: 'big' — B-I-G. Second word: 'blow' — B-L-O-W.

第一個詞：'大'--B-I-G。第二個詞：'吹'--B-L-O-W。

And it basically means an event that has a large

Now, 'blow' often refers to the act of 'blowing' with air... like that.

現在，'吹'通常指的是用空氣'吹'的行為......像這樣。

Is that what this expression has something to do with?

這就是這種表達方式的關係嗎？

A lot of air-related expressions today apparently: 'sighing' and 'blowing'.

今天顯然有很多與空氣有關的表達："嘆氣 "和 "吹氣"。

But now, let's talk about this idea of 'blow'.

但現在，讓我們來談談這個 "打擊 "的概念。

So, when somebody 'blows' air at you, it hits you

所以，當有人向你 "吹 "氣時，它就會擊中你。

Another way in which we use 'blow' that will reinforce this idea

我們使用 "打擊 "的另一種方式將強化這一理念

is in something like fighting: in fighting you have punching.

是在類似戰鬥的東西中：在戰鬥中，你有拳頭。

in which Tyson Fury won against Dillian Whyte

其中泰森-富里贏得了對迪連-懷特的比賽

and his final punch was a... or his final hit was an uppercut

他的最後一拳是......或者他的最後一擊是上勾拳

So, we use that idea of 'blow' for impacts,

是以，我們用 "打擊 "這個概念來應對沖擊。

especially related to punch and punches and air.

特別是與拳頭和拳腳以及空氣有關。

Right, but here in this expression 'big blow',

對，但在這裡，在這個表達中，"大的打擊"。

we're not referring to air or to punches, are we?

我們不是指空氣或拳頭，是嗎？

所以，我們在這裡談論的是什麼。

and let's focus in on that idea of an impact,

讓我們把注意力集中在這種影響的想法上。

that has a devastating effect and it's a massive impact.

這有一個破壞性的影響，它是一個巨大的影響。

OK. And I'm just thinking back to last year's Euros,

好的。而我只是回想了一下去年的歐洲盃。

when our country's team, England, lost at the last minute.

當我們的國家隊--英格蘭隊在最後一分鐘輸掉比賽時。

That was a 'big blow' — for us at least, wasn't it?

那是一個'大打擊'--至少對我們來說是這樣，不是嗎？

That was a 'massive blow' but well done once again to Italy.

這是一個 "巨大的打擊"，但意大利再次做得很好。

OK. Let's have a summary of that expression:

好的。讓我們對這種表達方式進行總結。

我們剛剛提到了去年的歐洲盃。
