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。

格里芬肯定覺得我是個好老闆。

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？

So what do you boys have planned for today?

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。

He was just like my teachers back in school.

他就像我在學校時的老師一樣。

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？

I'm really not getting that relationship.

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？

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"。

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。

傑伊是這麼說的，因為這不符合事實。

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。

我不和曼尼那樣的孩子一起玩。

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

一起玩就是一起消磨時間，對嗎？

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？

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

是啊，她有這個根，非常明顯的根，是嗎？

Maybe those kids are finally catching up with you.

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。

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,

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。

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。

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 is a slang meaning that someone is the best.

Boss 是一個俚語，意思是某人是最棒的。

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.

這裡的漂亮是一種相當的感覺。

我很有老闆風範，或者說我很有老闆風範。
