I don't kind of have that.

我沒有那種感覺。

I don't have something like that to pay for it.

我沒有這樣的東西來支付。

Hey, you're reading my mind.

嘿，你在讀我的心。

Hi, James Ming vid today.

嗨，詹姆斯-明今天的視頻。

I'd like to work on the word.

我想在這個詞上下功夫。

Some a simple enough word, but like many things that seem simple to actually explain it properly is not easy.

一些足夠簡單的詞，但就像許多看似簡單的事情一樣，要真正正確解釋它並不容易。

So we're gonna take the time today and we're going to go through this word now.

是以，我們今天要花時間，我們現在要通過這個詞。

Why are we doing some?

我們為什麼要做一些？

Well some is used in english as a determiner but it's also used as a pronoun and adjective and an adverb and that's what I meant.

有些在英語中被用作定語，但它也被用作代詞、形容詞和副詞，這就是我的意思。

But it's not quite easy.

但這並不十分容易。

So you'll see it in sentences and you'll think what's it doing there.

所以你會在句子中看到它，你會想它在那裡做什麼。

The other thing is we can take the words some and added towards to make the world more formal or we can make it much more casual, right?

另一件事是，我們可以把一些詞和添加向使世界更正式，或者我們可以使它更隨意，對嗎？

So we can go from business english, two bar english just by using the words some and that's kind of cool.

是以，我們可以從商務英語到兩個酒吧英語，只是通過使用一些單詞，這有點酷。

So I thought it'd be really good that we took the time to go over it and he agrees with me because he wants to be helped me out here.

所以我想，我們花時間去看一下真的很好，他同意我的看法，因為他想在這裡幫助我。

Alright, anyway, before this lesson gets tiresome to started on it, why don't we go to the board check out how some is used.

好吧，無論如何，在這節課開始之前，我們為什麼不去黑板上看看有些人是如何使用的。

We can talk about how where you shouldn't get confused by it because there's another word that's similar to it and we'll break into the four parts and give you examples.

我們可以談談你不應該被它迷惑的地方，因為還有另一個與它相似的詞，我們將抽成四個部分，給你舉例。

Don't forget we always do a quiz.

不要忘記我們總是做測驗。

So make sure you stay at the very end.

所以要確保你留在最後。

Okay let's go to the board and get started.

好了，讓我們到黑板上開始吧。

So some it's an unspecified amount.

所以有些是不確定的金額。

This is a nice fancy word for meaning we don't know.

這是一個漂亮的花言巧語，表示我們不知道的意思。

It's not specific.

這並不具體。

Remember if you've heard the word specific specific means something like one or two or this rag.

請記住，如果你聽說過具體這個詞，具體的意思是像一個或兩個或這塊破布。

This bracelet, it's very very specific when it's not it's an approximate.

這個手鐲，它是非常非常具體的，當它不是它是一個近似值。

Right?

對嗎？

So some is an unspecified amount.

所以有些是不明確的數額。

So we don't know really what the number or the sizes.

是以，我們不知道真正的數字或尺寸是多少。

We do know something about somebody we know it's more than one or two but it's less than many.

我們確實對某人有所瞭解，我們知道這比一兩個人多，但比很多人少。

An example.

一個例子。

If I say can you give me some money?

如果我說你能給我一些錢嗎？

I'm doubting you guys are going to give me a million dollars.

我很懷疑你們是否會給我一百萬美元。

You might give me a dollar or two.

你可以給我一兩美元。

You might give me five, probably more than a dollar or two because I said give me some money, right?

你可能會給我五塊，可能超過一兩塊，因為我說過給我一些錢，對嗎？

You might give me 56, maybe 34, but you're not going to give me a million.

你可能給我56個，也許34個，但你不會給我一百萬。

And that's how we know some falls in that ball park or that area there.

這就是我們如何知道有些人落在那個球館或那個地區的原因。

That gray area.

那個灰色區域。

Now we don't want to confuse some with its homonym.

現在我們不想用它的同義詞來混淆一些。

Some um this has two particular meanings which is different than the unspecified meaning of this sum.

有些嗯這有兩個特定的含義，這與這個總和的不特定含義不同。

So let's get through it quickly.

是以，讓我們快速瞭解一下。

They sound the same, right?

它們聽起來是一樣的，對嗎？

But what's the difference when you see this word here, it means a particular amount of money and that means it could be a large sum or a small sum and you'll hear people say it like that.

但是，當你在這裡看到這個詞時，有什麼區別呢？它意味著一個特定的金額，這意味著它可能是一大筆錢或一小筆錢，你會聽到人們這樣說。

And if it's a large sum, it means a lot of money.

如果是一筆大數目，就意味著有很多錢。

It's not being specified.

它沒有被指定。

So it's kind of similar in that case.

所以在這種情況下，它有點類似。

But we are talking about money specifically.

但我們具體談論的是錢。

That's what makes it specific.

這就是它的特殊之處。

So a large sum would be a lot of money and a small sum would be a small amount of money.

是以，大筆的錢是很多的錢，小筆的錢則是少量的錢。

Cool.

酷。

Alright.

好吧。

So if you say he asked a large sum for a bottle of water, that means he asked for a lot of money for this water or the house was a small sum.

是以，如果你說他為一瓶水要了一大筆錢，那就意味著他為這瓶水要了很多錢，或者房子是一小筆錢。

It wasn't very much not a lot of money.

這不是非常多的錢，不是很多的錢。

The second meeting for this some is the total result of adding items or numbers.

這一些的第二次會議是添加項目或數字的總結果。

You'll primarily find this word here in mathematics when you add two numbers together, when you have that plus sign and you say two plus two.

你主要會在數學中找到這個詞，當你把兩個數字加在一起時，當你有那個加號時，你說二加二。

The sum is for double peace sign.

和是指雙和平標誌。

But anyway, so that's the sum.

但無論如何，這就是總和。

When we put things together, you can also have some venting any two items.

當我們把事情放在一起時，你也可以有一些發洩任何兩個項目。

Right?

對嗎？

The sum of a man is not his parts meaning when you take all the things together, there could be more to that man than just the sum of his parts.

一個人的總和不是他的部分，意思是當你把所有的東西放在一起時，這個人可能比他的部分之和更多。

All the parts added together.

所有的部分加在一起。

And that's when we take items because it doesn't have to be just numbers for instance, the some of your skills doesn't equal who you are as a person.

這就是我們的項目，因為它不一定只是數字，例如，你的一些技能並不等於你是一個什麼樣的人。

That's a big philosophical statement for saying just because you can run re jump play baseball, that's still not who you are.

這是一個很大的哲學聲明，因為說你能跑能跳能打棒球，這仍然不是你是誰。

You're bigger than that.

你比那更大。

That sum the addition of the parts.

這是對各部分的補充。

Cool.

酷。

Alright.

好吧。

So now that we've got this one out of the way, but you've learned a second word, you're welcome.

所以現在我們已經把這個問題解決了，但你已經學會了第二個詞，歡迎你。

Let's go back to some and we'll talk about how some Is this simple yet.

讓我們回到一些，我們將談論一些 是這樣簡單卻。

I'd like to say simple elegance but it's got so much complexity to it.

我想說簡單的優雅，但它有這麼多的複雜性。

And we'll look at how some can be used as a pronoun, an adverb adjective and a determiner.

我們將看看一些人如何作為代詞、副詞形容詞和定語使用。

So the first we're gonna look at is some as a pronoun.

所以我們首先要看的是作為代詞的一些。

As you see in this sentence, we have some have left already.

正如你在這句話中看到的，我們有一些已經離開了。

Well we could say they have left already.

好吧，我們可以說他們已經離開了。

So remember how I said it can replace words and if I didn't mention it at the beginning, some can actually replace another word.

是以，記得我說過它可以取代單詞，如果我在開始時沒有提到，有些人實際上可以取代另一個單詞。

And this is how we do it with pronouns instead of they have left already.

而這是我們用代詞的方式，而不是他們已經離開。

We say some have left now.

我們說有些人現在已經離開了。

How many have left?

有多少人已經離開？

Let's go back to the board an unspecified amount.

讓我們回到董事會一個不確定的數額。

So we don't know if it's 345 or six but some have left.

所以我們不知道是345人還是6人，但有些人已經離開。

Okay.

好的。

So they left the party already.

所以他們已經離開了聚會。

Some have left the party already.

有些人已經離開了黨。

For an example, as a determiner, determiner tells us what we're talking about.

舉個例子，作為一個定語，定語告訴我們我們在談論什麼。

It determines the object we're talking about and you know the or the and or a are also determine hours, right?

它決定了我們所談論的對象，你知道或和或a也是決定小時的，對嗎？

So this falls in that category.

所以這屬於這一類。

So when I say please bring some chairs, this is what's determining how many chairs.

是以，當我說請帶一些椅子時，這就是決定有多少椅子的原因。

Now, once again, I'm gonna go back to the top of the board.

現在，我再一次回到黑板的頂部。

I'm going to ask you a question.

我要問你一個問題。

How many chairs should you bring?

你應該帶多少張椅子？

30 50, 100.

30 50, 100.

That would be many chairs.

這將是許多椅子。

Bring some.

帶上一些。

Maybe I'm having some friends for dinner and I've got a small house or maybe a medium house probably want 345 chairs.

也許我有一些朋友來吃晚飯，我有一個小房子，也許一箇中等的房子可能需要345把椅子。

So bring me some chairs please.

所以請給我拿一些椅子。

Cool.

酷。

Alright then we determine that number being less than many, but more than one or two by some chairs.

好吧，那麼我們確定這個數字少於許多，但超過一或二的一些椅子。

It's not modifying the chairs.

這不是在修改椅子。

It's not saying this is a some chair.

這並不是說這是個什麼椅子。

I wouldn't know what that meant in english, but I know I need a number of chairs but not too many.

我不知道那是什麼意思，但我知道我需要一些椅子，但不能太多。

Next we can use some as an adverb.

接下來我們可以用一些作為副詞。

What do you mean A man to modify how a verb is being utilized or used in this case?

在這種情況下，什麼叫A人修飾動詞的利用或使用方式？

We say the sentence.

我們說這句話。

He had grown some since last year.

自去年以來，他已經長大了一些。

Well your boy, your son was about this tall, but now he's taller.

你的孩子，你的兒子以前也就這麼高，但現在他更高了。

He's grown some, he has changed in height, growing is what things do biological things.

他長大了一些，他的身高也發生了變化，成長是事物的生物特性。

People and plants, Animals, they grow.

人和植物、動物，它們都在生長。

So he has grown some and I'm saying there's been a change in the growth unspecified.

所以他已經成長了一些，我說的是在成長中出現了不明確的變化。

Once again because I'm not saying he has grown.

再一次因為我沒有說他已經成長。

Okay, depends where you're watching.

好吧，取決於你在哪裡看。

Okay.

好的。

If you were in North America, he could have grown two ft if you're in.

如果你在北美，他可能已經長了兩英尺，如果你在。

If you're in europe asia, he has grown, I don't know what two ft would be 25 centimeters.

如果你在歐洲亞洲，他已經長大了，我不知道兩英尺會是什麼25釐米。

You figure it out?

你搞清楚了嗎？

No, that would be like 10 inches.

不，那將是10英寸的樣子。

Yeah, Okay.

是的，好的。

A foot whatever.

一隻腳什麼的。

But you get the point, there's been a change unspecified.

但你要明白，已經有了一個未說明的變化。

So the person isn't saying specifically, he has grown 75 centimeters in one year.

所以這個人並沒有具體說，他在一年內長了75釐米。

He's grown some an approximate amount and finally we can use it as an adjective, right?

他長了一些大概的數量，最後我們可以把它作為一個形容詞，對嗎？

And here's one of my favorite.

這是我最喜歡的一個。

Let me read it first and I'll explain why it's one of my favorite lines in literature.

讓我先讀一下，我再解釋一下為什麼這是我最喜歡的文學作品中的一句話。

All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than other animals.

所有動物都是平等的，但有些動物比其他動物更平等。

So in this case we're modifying animals.

所以在這種情況下，我們正在修改動物。

Some animals, we're not just talking about a number of animals were saying a specific group of animals, but that group hasn't been what it's unspecified.

有些動物，我們不只是在談論一些動物，而是在說一個特定的動物群體，但這個群體還沒有被什麼它是不明確的。

So which animals are there?

那麼有哪些動物呢？

Now, this line is a great line because it comes from a book called Animal Farm and if you want to enhance your reading skills, I would suggest you pick it up.

現在，這句話是一個很好的臺詞，因為它來自一本叫做《動物農場》的書，如果你想提高你的閱讀能力，我建議你拿起它。

It's by Georgia all Well, it's very timely.

這是由喬治亞州所有 嗯，這是非常及時的。

He wrote it way back.

他在很早以前就寫過。

I can't remember if it was after World War One and World War II and he was talking about I guess it was communism and how communism at that time.

我不記得是否是在第一次世界大戰和第二次世界大戰之後，他在談論我猜是共產主義和當時的共產主義。

So if you live in a state of a Communist state, I'm not putting it down, this is over wells work.

是以，如果你生活在一個共產主義國家的州，我不是在放下，這是過井的工作。

But he was talking about how sometimes communism can lead to having first all people are equal, but then having a separation where some people get to be a little bit better than the others, which is kind of against the idea of communism.

但他說的是，有時共產主義會導致首先所有人都是平等的，但又有一種分離，有些人可以比其他人好一點，這有點違背共產主義的理念。

So it was his critique about communism.

所以這是他對共產主義的批判。

So this is a great line because he says it starts off with comrade, all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal, you know what I'm saying?

所以這句話很好，因為他說一開始是同志，所有動物都是平等的，但有些動物更平等，你知道我在說什麼嗎？

Right?

對嗎？

So of course that's not being equal and that was the whole point of that particular line.

是以，這當然是不平等的，這也是那條特定線路的全部意義。

So George orwell, Animal Farm pick it up.

是以，喬治-奧威爾，《動物農場》把它撿起來。

It's a great read, especially if you want to get better understanding our idioms or cultural references.

這是一本很好的讀物，特別是如果你想更好地理解我們的成語或文化參考。

You say that to a Canadian american british person, they're like, oh yeah, I get it right away.

你對一個加拿大人、美國人和英國人說，他們會說，哦，是的，我馬上就明白了。

Okay, so it will help you deepen your english understanding while you are getting to know about us.

好的，所以它將幫助你在瞭解我們的同時加深你對英語的理解。

Cool.

酷。

So now I've broken down some and it's four parts.

是以，現在我已經分解了一些，它是四個部分。

We talked about something that would be not exactly the same because it's a homophone and we have to do something interesting and I said something right, unspecified.

我們談到的東西會不完全一樣，因為它是同音字，我們必須做一些有趣的事情，我說的東西是對的，沒有明確的說法。

Don't you just love it as I said, this word is found.

難道你不喜歡我說的，這個詞被發現了。

So we use it in.

所以我們把它用在。

So, oh geez, here I go go, so many different ways, you know?

所以，哦，天哪，在這裡我去了，這麼多不同的方式，你知道嗎？

Yeah, we use in so many different ways.

是的，我們以許多不同的方式使用。

It's actually kind of fun.

這實際上是一種樂趣。

So let's go to the second part.

是以，讓我們來看看第二部分。

We're going to do the quiz.

我們要做測驗了。

I'll introduce you into a way to make some a little bit more formal and throwing a little bit of vocab that you can use it in the next part of your business meeting.

我將向你介紹一種方法，使一些更正式，並拋出一點詞彙，你可以在你的商業會議的下一個部分使用它。

Right?

對嗎？

Yeah.

是的。

Let's go to the board and do the quiz.

讓我們到黑板上做測驗吧。

You ready And we're back now.

你準備好了，我們現在回來了。

I had made an unspecified mistake on the first board.

我在第一塊板上犯了一個不明不白的錯誤。

Did you catch it?

你抓住它了嗎？

Did you see what I forgot to do or were you unspecified?

你是看到了我忘了做的事，還是沒說清楚？

Let's go to the board.

讓我們到董事會去。

Yeah.

是的。

On the first board.

在第一塊板上。

I forgot to put the I in there.

我忘了把 "I "放在那裡。

So yeah, I'm human, I make mistakes but let's go to the board because we want you not to make mistakes and we're gonna do our quick quiz with a bit of a bonus.

所以，是的，我是人，我犯了錯誤，但讓我們去董事會，因為我們希望你不犯錯誤，我們要做我們的快速測試，有一點獎勵。

And of course, yeah.

當然還有，是的。

Alright.

好吧。

So I want to put some in the correct place in the sentence.

所以我想把一些放在句子中的正確位置。

So in these these four or five sentences, five sentences.

所以在這些這四、五句話中，五句話。

That's interesting.

這很有意思。

Some can replace, remember we talked about some can replace words as well as modify in that case.

有些可以替代，記得我們談到過有些可以替代單詞以及在這種情況下修改。

We can put some in these sentences and I want you to figure out where it would be.

我們可以在這些句子中放一些，我希望你能想出它會在哪裡。

Okay and then I want you to tell me because this is the way rolls around here.

好的，然後我要你告訴我，因為這是在這裡滾動的方式。

What kind of modification was it?

那是什麼樣的修改？

Because I said not only can you replace the word, it can be modified.

因為我說不僅可以替換這個詞，還可以修改。

So it's not just a determiner, right?

所以它不僅僅是一個定語，對嗎？

It could be a adjective and pronoun and finally adjective adverb Throw down and determine all four.

它可能是一個形容詞和代詞，最後是形容詞副詞 扔下來，確定所有四個。

Alright cool.

很好，很好。

So let's take a look at the first sentence and by the way they were on the first board even though I made an unspecified mistake.

是以，讓我們看看第一句話，順便說一下，儘管我犯了一個不明確的錯誤，但他們還是在第一塊板上。

So we did it.

所以我們就這麼做了。

And if you understood it this should be a piece of cake.

如果你理解它，這應該是小菜一碟。

Like really easy for you.

就像對你來說真的很容易。

If you're having a problem, go back listen to what the lesson was.

如果你有問題，回去聽一聽是什麼課。

Okay then come back here.

好的，然後回到這裡。

But let's go to the board for now.

但現在讓我們先去看一下董事會。

# one he had grown a moderate amount since I last saw him.

# 自從我上次見到他以來，他已經適度地成長了。

What is that?

那是什麼？

Mhm.

嗯。

Well let's get an ear market.

好吧，讓我們去找一個耳朵市場。

What part do we have to change?

我們必須改變哪一部分？

Well he had grown here a moderate amount.

嗯，他在這裡成長得很適度。

Remember we said when we use it in the what kind of way the adverb way we used as an adverb.

記得我們說過，當我們把它用在什麼樣的方式上時，副詞方式我們作為副詞使用。

How did he grow?

他是如何成長的？

He had grown some in this case means a moderate amount not being determined.

在這種情況下，他增長了一些，意味著適度的數量沒有被確定。

I think I was talking about two ft or 25 centimeters or something like that.

我想我說的是兩英尺或25釐米或類似的東西。

That was that one there.

這就是那裡的那個人。

Let's look at the second one.

讓我們來看看第二個問題。

I made an unspecified amount of money.
