Couple of days last week I took Manny to school on my motorcycle.

上週有幾天，我騎摩托車送曼尼去上學。

Griffin must think I'm pretty boss.

格里芬肯定覺得我是個好老闆。

Yes, Jay.

是的，傑伊。

It's all because of you.

都是因為你

Kids are looking for role models.

孩子們在尋找榜樣。

Why do you think Fonzie was so popular?

你認為方茲為何如此受歡迎？

He told people that they were rich, but really took their money with his scheme?

他告訴人們他們很富有，但真的用他的計劃拿走了他們的錢？

Oh, that's a...

哦，這是一個...

Yes.

是的。

Hola, Griffin.

你好，格里芬

How are you?

你好嗎？

Oh, thirteen.

哦，13。

I'm fine.

我沒事

So what do you boys have planned for today?

你們今天有什麼計劃？

Well, it's kind of a surprise for Griffin, but let's just say it involves decoupage.

對格里芬來說，這算是個驚喜，但我們只能說它涉及到了裝飾。

Oh, jeez.

天啊

Come on, let's go.

來吧，我們走

Goodbye.

再見

Oh, no.

哦，不

What?

什麼？

You were right.

你是對的。

This boy is not here to see Manny.

這孩子不是來看曼尼的

I told you.

我告訴過你

You see the way he looks at me?

你看到他看我的眼神了嗎？

No, Fonzie.

不，方茲

The way he looks at me.

他看我的眼神

He couldn't talk.

他不能說話。

He kept staring.

他一直盯著我看。

He was just like my teachers back in school.

他就像我在學校時的老師一樣。

Gloria, you're very pretty.

格洛麗亞，你真漂亮。

But the kid idolizes me.

但那孩子崇拜我。

Really?

真的嗎？

Griffin!

格里芬

Manny!

曼尼

Do you want to go with Jay to ride his motorcycle, or do you want to go with me to the supermarket and buy a couple of onions?

你是想和傑伊一起去騎他的摩托車，還是想和我一起去超市買幾個洋蔥？

Motorcycle rides!

騎摩托車

Onions sound good.

洋蔥聽起來不錯。

I'm really not getting that relationship.

我真的不明白這種關係。

Can't you just be happy that Manny's making new friends?

你就不能因為曼尼交了新朋友而高興嗎？

Yeah, because it doesn't add up.

是的，因為這不符合事實。

So the connected speech we see here, can't you, it happens in the combination of letters T and U, so they make this new sound, can't you.

是以，我們在這裡看到的連接語音 "can't you "發生在字母 "T "和 "U "的組合中，是以它們發出了新的音 "can't you"。

So can't you turns into can't you.

所以，"你不能 "變成了 "你不能"。

And this interesting phrase, it doesn't add up.

而這句有趣的話，並不符合事實。

So Jay says, because it doesn't add up.

傑伊是這麼說的，因為這不符合事實。

Ethan, can you define this?

伊桑，你能給它下個定義嗎？

Yeah, so if something doesn't add up, it means it doesn't make sense.

是啊，所以如果有什麼不對的地方，就說明它不合理。

I believe it comes from mathematics, that if two things you're solving for X and the two things that add up, they're not coming out to the right formula, it probably has something to do with that.

我相信它來源於數學，如果你在求解 X 的時候，兩件事情相加的結果不符合正確的公式，這很可能與此有關。

Cool kids like Griffin and Cooper,

像格里芬和庫珀這樣的酷孩子

I don't hang out with kids like Manny.

我不和曼尼那樣的孩子一起玩。

Manny's very cool.

曼尼很酷

To hang out with is to just spend time with, right?

一起玩就是一起消磨時間，對嗎？

We usually hang out with our friends.

我們通常和朋友一起出去玩。

This is one of those really versatile phrasal verbs though, because someone could call you and ask you, say I call Ksenia, what are you doing?

這是一個非常通用的短語動詞，因為有人會打電話問你，比如我給克休莎打電話，你在做什麼？

She could say, oh, just hanging out, which means I'm not really doing anything.

她可能會說，哦，只是出去逛逛，這意味著我其實什麼都沒做。

She could be cleaning up, she could be watching a movie, but it's just a way to be vague with our language.

她可能在打掃衛生，也可能在看電影，但這只是我們語言模糊的一種方式。

Did you notice here also Gloria's pronunciation of very?

你注意到格洛麗亞對 "very "的發音了嗎？

Manny's very cool.

曼尼很酷

Yeah, she has this root, very pronounced root, yeah?

是啊，她有這個根，非常明顯的根，是嗎？

Like a R.

像一個 R。

The top R, right?

最上面的 R，對嗎？

Very.

非常好

Maybe those kids are finally catching up with you.

也許那些孩子終於趕上你了。

I get it.

我明白了。

That's an interesting use of the phrasal verb catch up.

這個短語動詞 catch up 的用法很有意思。

To catch up with something, like imagine if you are running, or if you are riding a car, and if you catch up with another car, you make up the difference, so you become closer or on the same level.

追上某物，就像想象你在跑步，或者你在騎車，如果你追上了另一輛車，你就彌補了差距，從而變得更接近或在同一水平線上。

But here it has another meaning.

但在這裡，它有另一層含義。

In this context, what does it mean to catch up to someone?

在這種情況下，追上某人意味著什麼？

Yeah, if you catch up to someone in this sense, it's saying, because she's saying that Manny is cool, like he's a trendsetter, and they're finally catching up, they're finally starting to be cool as well.

是啊，從這個意義上說，如果你追上了某個人，那就是在說，因為她在說曼尼很酷，就像他是個潮流引領者，而他們終於追上了，他們終於也開始變得很酷了。

So he was cool in a different way, and the other kids are finally getting hip with his style.

是以，他以一種與眾不同的方式變得很酷，而其他孩子也終於開始追隨他的風格。

Okay, so it's similar to the meaning of like catch up with something when you're running or riding, right?

好吧，這和跑步或騎馬時追上什麼東西的意思類似，對嗎？

There's another really nice way that we use this phrasal verb though.

不過，我們使用這個短語動詞還有一個非常好的方法。

If you and I haven't spoken in a long time,

如果我們很久沒有聯繫了

I might say, well, let's have a call and catch up.

我可能會說，那我們打個電話聊聊吧。

Meaning let's get up to date with what's been happening with you, what's been happening with me.

意思是讓我們瞭解一下你和我的最新情況。

Like catching up with the news or catching up on the news.

比如追看新聞，或者追看新聞。

Or catch up on a series, maybe, because you've been behind on the episodes.

或者追看一部連續劇，也許是因為你的劇集已經落後了。

Maybe with Netflix and so on, we don't use it so much nowadays, but when we used to have an episode coming out every single week, we might catch up because we missed a few weeks of the series.

也許現在有了 Netflix 等，我們就不太常用了，但以前每週都有一集的時候，我們可能會因為錯過了幾周的劇集而追劇。

Or if I'm taking a course, let's say, and I missed a couple of lessons, and now I have to catch up with my studies.

比方說，如果我正在學習一門課程，我錯過了幾節課，現在我必須加快腳步學習。

A couple of days last week,

上週有幾天

I took Manny to school on my motorcycle.

我騎摩托車送曼尼上學。

Here a very common connected speech pattern, couple of days.

這裡有一個非常常見的連接語音模式，幾天。

So the phrase couple of days, of is getting reduced totally.

所以，這幾天，我的體重完全下降了。

We just hear a schwa sound here, couple of days.

我們只是在這裡聽到了一個 "schwa "音，有幾天了。

Griffin must think I'm pretty boss.

格里芬肯定覺得我是個好老闆。

Yeah, it's different.

是的，這不一樣。

That's a nice expression.

說得真好。

I'm pretty boss.

我是個大老闆

So he's not a boss, mafia boss or something.

所以他不是老大、黑手黨老大什麼的。

Boss in this situation.

這種情況下的老闆。

Boss is a slang meaning that someone is the best.

Boss 是一個俚語，意思是某人是最棒的。

They're really cool.

他們真的很酷。

They're really hip.

他們真的很時髦。

And it's funny because it's a more modern slang, and he's an old guy, so he's trying to be cool by using this modern slang, but it just doesn't fit at all with who he is and his age.

這很有趣，因為這是一種更現代的俚語，而他是個老人，所以他想用這種現代俚語來耍酷，但這與他的身份和年齡完全不符。

Just wanted to take a moment here to explain the word pretty.

我只想花點時間解釋一下 "漂亮 "這個詞。

So pretty, it's not in the sense of beautiful or handsome.

漂亮，不是指美麗或英俊。

Pretty here is the sense of quite.

這裡的漂亮是一種相當的感覺。

I'm quite a boss or I'm quite boss.

我很有老闆風範，或者說我很有老闆風範。

Notice the pronunciation as well.

還要注意發音。

That's not pretty.

這可不好看。

That's pretty.

真漂亮

Kids are looking for role models.

孩子們在尋找榜樣。

Why do you think Fonzie was so popular?

你認為方茲為何如此受歡迎？

He told people that they were rich, but really took their money with his scheme.

他告訴人們他們很富有，但實際上卻用他的陰謀奪走了他們的錢財。

Oh, that's a yes.

哦，是的。

I think he didn't want to explain too much to Gloria, so he just said yes, because there's a funny situation happening.

我想他是不想向格洛麗亞解釋太多，所以就答應了，因為發生了一件有趣的事。

So Gloria confuses Fonzie and Ponzi.

所以格洛麗亞混淆了方茲和龐茲。

Ethan, do you want to explain that to our viewers?

伊桑，你能給我們的觀眾解釋一下嗎？

So Fonzie was a character,

所以方茲是個人物

I believe the series was called Happy Days, and he was this really cool guy who everyone looked up to.

我記得那部劇叫《快樂時光》，他是一個很酷的人，大家都很崇拜他。

We used that expression earlier.

我們之前用過這個說法。

That's exactly what Jay is talking about as a role model.

這正是傑伊所說的榜樣。

A role model is someone who you look up to, someone who you admire.

榜樣是你仰望的人，是你崇拜的人。

He just says yes, because he's not wanting to have to explain the confusion that she made, because a Ponzi scheme, which is what Gloria is defining there, is basically that it's like a pyramid scheme.

他只是說 "是"，因為他不想解釋她的混淆，因為龐氏騙局，也就是格洛麗亞定義的龐氏騙局，基本上就像是金字塔騙局。

Hola Griffin, how are you?

格里芬，你好嗎？

Oh, 13.

哦，13

I'm fine.

我沒事

So what do you boys have planned for today?

你們今天有什麼安排？

Well, it's kind of a surprise for Griffin, but let's just say it involves decoupage.

對格里芬來說，這算是一個驚喜，但我們只能說它涉及到了裝飾。

Come on, let's go.

來吧，我們走

So here's an interesting connected speech pattern.

是以，這裡有一個有趣的連貫語音模式。

We drop the D sound in the word kind, and link this to off, but off changes the F to V, because it is followed by the vowel.

我們去掉單詞 kind 中的 D 音，並將其與 off 聯繫起來，但 off 會將 F 改為 V，因為其後面是元音。

Kind of a.

有點像

So we link all three words together.

是以，我們把這三個詞聯繫在一起。

Kind of a.

有點像

Kind of a surprise.

有點意外。

Cassandra, I wanted to comment just on some of the context too here, because both of us were laughing that she asked him, how are you?

卡桑德拉，我也想評論一下這裡的一些上下文，因為她問他 "你好嗎？"時，我們都笑了。

And he is aghast.

他大吃一驚。

He's without words.

他無言以對。

And then finally he says 13.

最後他說 13。

So he completely wasn't listening to the question.

所以他完全沒在聽這個問題。

He understood how old are you?

他明白你多大了？

Because he's staring at Gloria, since she's wearing a very revealing outfit.

因為他在盯著格洛麗亞看，因為她穿得很暴露。

And the other funny thing here is Jay is wearing this leather jacket.

還有一件有趣的事，傑伊穿著這件皮夾克。

So he's probably trying to look cool like Fonzie.

所以，他可能是想扮酷，像方茲一樣。

And he's wearing his motorcycle jacket.

他還穿著摩托車夾克。

I have to be blatantly honest.

我必須公然實話實說。

I don't know what a decoupage is.

我不知道什麼是 Decoupage。

Is it like paper mache or something?

是紙糊的嗎？

Yeah.

是啊

It's just like you decorate a certain object or you want to reproduce a shape of some object.

這就像你裝飾某個物體，或者你想再現某個物體的形狀一樣。

And you use like strips of paper.

你用的就像紙條一樣。

Like you need a lot of strips of paper.

就像你需要很多紙條一樣。

And you glue several layers of paper on this object.

然後在這個物體上粘幾層紙。

Jay says OGs after that, because it's this cool kid that he's wanting Manny to impress.

之後，傑伊說 OGs，因為他想讓曼尼對這個很酷的孩子刮目相看。

And he's doing something that's very artsy, not so cool by traditional terms.

他所做的事情很有藝術氣息，用傳統術語來說並不酷。

Goodbye.

再見

Oh, no.

哦，不

What?

什麼？

You were right.

你是對的。

This boy is not here to see Manny.

No, Fonzie.

不，方茲

The way he looks at me.

他看我的眼神

He couldn't talk.

他不能說話。

But the kid idolizes you.

但孩子崇拜你

Really?

真的嗎？

And she says that the boy was staring at her.

她說那個男孩一直盯著她看。

Staring is just to look closely, very attentively, without sometimes even blinking, right?

凝視就是仔細地看，非常專注地看，有時甚至連眼睛都不眨一下，對嗎？

Kids might have a staring contest.

孩子們可能會進行瞪眼比賽。

We did this when we were young.

我們年輕的時候也這樣做過。

Like you stare at each other to see who is the first one to blink.

就像你們互相盯著對方，看誰先眨眼。

Yeah, yeah.

是啊，是啊。

And whoever blinks first loses.

誰先眨眼，誰就輸了。

So, idolizing someone is to really admire someone.

所以，崇拜一個人，就是真正佩服一個人。

Usually it happens like with pop stars.

這種情況通常發生在歌星身上。

So, teenage girls usually idolize some pop stars.

是以，少女們通常會把一些流行歌星當作偶像。

And here is also interesting connected speech, right?

The kid idolizes me.

Jay, we use this to get us tables at restaurants.
