Hi Tim here with another 9 - five English lesson.

你好，我是Tim，帶來了另一節9-5英語課。

未來簡單式

Today's lesson will be our first to focus on english phrase, Alvar verbs and we're going to kick off with some phrase Alvar verbs for talking about beginnings if you're not sure what a phrase, Alvar verb is.

今天的課程將是我們的第一節課，重點是英語短語，阿爾瓦動詞，如果你不確定什麼是短語，阿爾瓦動詞，我們將用一些短語阿爾瓦動詞來談論開頭。

Well I just used one I said we're going to kick off.

好吧，我只是用了一個，我說我們要開球了。

Kick off is a phrase of verb because it has a verb kick and a preposition off and when used together, the meaning is different from the individual words.

Kick off是一個動詞短語，因為它有一個動詞kick和一個介詞off，當一起使用時，意思與單個單詞不同。

There are hundreds of these little two word combinations in english, we use them all the time and their meaning isn't always clear from the two words they're made of.

在英語中，有數以百計的這種小的兩個字的組合，我們一直在使用它們，而它們的意思並不總是從它們的兩個字中明確。

So it's a great idea to study them in our example to kick off means to start or begin and just like the verb start.

是以，在我們的例子中學習它們是一個很好的主意，踢開意味著開始或開始，就像動詞開始一樣。

We can either say that an event kicks off or that we kick off an event.

我們既可以說一個事件啟動了，也可以說我們啟動了一個事件。

Let's try a bit of practice with this phrase of verb.

讓我們試著用這個動詞短語進行一下練習。

Listen to each example, then repeat it yourself.

聽聽每個例子，然後自己重複一遍。

The event kicks off this morning at eight a.m.

該活動於今天上午八點拉開帷幕。

We're going to kick our conference off with a great speaker in that first example kick and off stayed together.

我們將用一個偉大的演講者來啟動我們的會議，在這第一個例子中，我們的會議將在一起啟動和關閉。

But in the second example, those two words were split as in kick our conference off, Some phrase of verbs can be split like this, some can't and some like kick off can be used both ways.

但在第二個例子中，這兩個詞被拆開了，如kick our conference off，有些動詞短語可以這樣拆開，有些則不能，有些如kick off則可以兩種方式使用。

So when you learn a new phrase of verb, it can be a good idea to make note of whether it can be split like this.

是以，當你學習一個新的動詞短語時，記下它是否可以這樣拆分是個好主意。

There's another common phrase of verb that has basically the same meaning as to kick off and that's to start off.

還有一個常見的動詞短語，其含義與 "開球 "基本相同，那就是 "開始"。

But with start off we usually give some more explanation of what's happening.

但在開始時，我們通常會對正在發生的事情做一些更多的解釋。

We might say let's start the meeting off with some introductions.

我們可能會說，讓我們以一些自我介紹來開始會議。

And while kickoff is often used with events or things with an official start.

而開球往往用於有正式開始的事件或事物。

The phrase Alvar verb to start off is used to describe the beginning of a journey or a process.

阿爾瓦動詞開始的短語是用來描述一個旅程或一個過程的開始。

Let's try some examples with to start off.

讓我們嘗試用一些例子來開始。

Remember to repeat the examples after you hear them.

記住在你聽到這些例子後要重複它們。

I'd like to start this meeting off by reviewing the agenda.

我想通過回顧議程來開始這次會議。

We will start off on our trip to Chicago tomorrow.

我們將在明天開始我們的芝加哥之行。

Now I don't want you to think you can just change the preposition and keep the same meaning or sense.

現在我不想讓你認為你可以只改變介詞而保持相同的意思或意義。

One tricky thing about phrase all verbs is that you can have one verb with many different prepositions and each combination has a different meaning.

關於所有動詞短語的一個棘手問題是，你可以讓一個動詞與許多不同的介詞搭配，而每個組合都有不同的含義。

For example we just looked at to start off but we might also use the phrase Alvar verb to start up.

例如，我們剛才看的是to start off，但我們也可能用Alvar verb to start up這個短語。

However they're not used in exactly the same way.

然而它們的使用方式並不完全相同。

If you start something up you're not beginning a meeting or a journey or a process instead you're starting a business or a machine.

如果你開始做一件事，你不是在開始一個會議、一個旅程或一個過程，而是在開始一個企業或一臺機器。

If you start up a business you are creating a new one and if you start up a machine you are turning it on.

如果你啟動一個企業，你就是在創造一個新的企業，如果你啟動一臺機器，你就是在開啟它。

How about some practice with this phrase.

All verb once again repeat the examples after you hear them.

所有動詞在你聽完後再次重複這些例子。

Susan left our company last year to start up her own business when I arrive at the office each day I start up my laptop so you can start up a new business.

蘇珊去年離開了我們的公司，開始了她自己的事業，當我每天到達辦公室時，我啟動我的筆記本電腦，這樣你就可以開始一個新的事業。

But do you think you can start up a new hobby or some activity that you do in your free time?

但你認為你可以開始一個新的愛好或一些你在空閒時間做的活動嗎？

Like I recently started up swimming on weekends.

In fact, no, we can't say that for hobbies.

事實上，不，我們不能對興趣愛好這麼說。

We use a different phrase Als verb to take up.

我們用一個不同的短語Als動詞來承擔。

So you can say I recently took up swimming on weekends.

所以你可以說我最近開始在週末游泳了。

But here's another tricky thing about phrase of verbs, sometimes the same phrase Alvar verb can have different meanings to take up, doesn't just mean to start a new hobby.

但這裡還有一個關於動詞短語的棘手之處，有時同一個短語阿爾瓦動詞可以有不同的含義拿起，並不只是指開始一個新的愛好。

We also use it to talk about how much space or time something uses like responding to email takes up so much time.

我們也用它來談論某件事情使用了多少空間或時間，比如回覆電子郵件就佔用了這麼多時間。

Let's practice to take up with a couple of examples.

讓我們用幾個例子來練習一下。

One for each of these meanings, repeat the examples after you hear them last year.

每種意思都有一個，在去年聽到這些例子後再重複一遍。

我在空閒時間開始從事園藝工作。

This table takes up too much space in our office.

這張桌子在我們的辦公室佔據了太多的空間。

We've practiced several phrase Alvar verbs to talk about beginnings, but how do these sound in a conversation, let's listen to a short conversation between tom and Bonnie.

我們已經練習了幾個談論開始的短語阿爾瓦動詞，但這些在對話中聽起來如何，讓我們聽聽湯姆和邦妮的簡短對話。

They're talking about a speech that Bonnie is preparing for.

他們在談論邦妮正在準備的演講。

So how are you going to start your speech?

那麼你打算如何開始你的演講呢？

I think I'm going to kick off with a story.

Yeah, I want to start off with something interesting.

是的，我想用一些有趣的東西來開始。

We'll repeat the dialogue but this time we're going to beep out the second speaker's words, you will have to say those parts yourself, remember to start by saying you're going to kick off with a story, then explain that you want to start off with something interesting.

我們將重複這段對話，但這次我們要把第二位發言者的話嗶出來，你要自己說這些部分，記得一開始就說你要用一個故事來開場，然後解釋你要用有趣的東西來開場。

Our first with a focus on phrase of verbs.

我們的第一個重點是動詞的短語。

 We've learned how to use several phrase, all verbs related to beginnings, including to kick off to start off to start up and to take up we'll be back soon with some more useful english expressions. 

我們已經學會了如何使用幾個短語，都是與開始有關的動詞，包括to kick off to start off to start up and to take up 我們很快就會回來，帶來一些更有用的英語表達。
