Fancy seeing you here!

很高興在這裡見到你！

How are you all doing?

你們都好嗎？

I hope you're all really well.

我希望你們都很好。

Here's another video for you about phrasal verbs.

這是另一部關於片語動詞的影片。

Now I've never made a video about phrasal verbs properly before.

現在，我還從未正式製作過關於片語動詞的影片。

They are very important.

它們非常重要。

When you learn English at school, you probably don't realise that the spoken English language is very, very different to what you learn in your lessons at school.

當你在學校學習英語時，你可能沒有意識到，英語口語與你在學校的課程中所學的非常非常不同，

And grammar is not so important when you're trying to communicate and you realise how many of these phrasal verbs we actually use.

當你試圖交流時，文法並不是那麼重要，並且你會發現我們實際上使用了很多片語動詞。

Now why do we use phrasal verbs?

我們為什麼要使用片語動詞？

Well, that's a very good question.

這個問題問得好。

It's been a slow kind of journey of them taking over.

他們的接手是一個緩慢的過程。

You see, there's a phrasal verb, "taking over."

你看，剛剛就用了一個片語動詞，「taking over（接手）」

That means to dominate.

這意味著主宰。

It's been a slow process of them sort of coming into the language.

這是一個緩慢的過程，他們逐漸掌握了英文。

Very often, phrasal verbs just make everything easier.

很多時候，片語動詞會讓一切變得簡單。

They require less words to make the same point.

用較少的字數就能表達同樣的意思。

I don't even want to think about how difficult it would be to say "wake up" if I didn't use the phrasal verb wake up.

我甚至不願去想，如果不使用片語動詞 wake up，說 wake up 會有多困難。

But there was a time where we would have said arose or became awake or started the day.

但曾幾何時，我們會說 arose、became awake 或 started the day。

I have no idea.

我也不知道。

Something like that.

差不多就是這樣。

So I use hundreds of these things a day and I use them without even noticing.

我每天都要使用上百種這樣的東西，而且是在不知不覺中使用的。

And so when my students don't use them and they use a formal word instead,

當我的學生不使用這些片語動詞，而使用一個正式的詞時，

it really grates on me because I suddenly realise how informal and how kind of friendly and warm the language has become with these phrasal verbs.

我真的很煩躁，因為我突然意識到，有了這些片語動詞，語言變得多麼日常，多麼友好和溫暖。

I really like them.

我真的很喜歡它們。

So instead of learning great big long lists of phrasal verbs, I think it's much more effective to learn them by context.

所以我認為與其學習一大串長長的片語動詞，不如根據上下文來學習它們，效果會更好。

And today, I'm going to show you all of the phrasal verbs that you will need or that will come in handy for a typical day on the weekend.

今天，我將向大家展示所有你需要的片語動詞，或者在週末的典型一天中派上用場的片語動詞。

What are we waiting for?

我們還在等什麼？

Let's get started.

讓我們開始吧。

It's Saturday morning.

現在是星期六上午。

The sun is pouring in to your bedroom.

陽光灑進你的臥室。

If you're an early bird, you might just spring out of bed but if not, you might fancy having a lie in.

如果你是早起的鳥兒，你可能會立刻從床上爬起來，但如果你不是，你可能會想睡個懶覺。

Now to lie in is to sleep or lie in bed longer than usual.

「Lie in 」是指睡覺或躺在床上的時間比平時長。

I love lying in particularly on Sundays. That is my special day of rest, right?

我喜歡躺著，尤其是週日，那是我特別的休息日，對嗎？

It is a day of rest Sunday so everyone should lie in.

星期天是休息日，大家都應該好好休息。

So when you eventually get up, you start to get ready for the day.

所以，當你最終起床時，你就開始為一天做好準備。

You pick out your favourite outfit for the day, put it on and then you put on other things like makeup, sun cream, perfume, jewellery,

你要挑選當天最喜歡的服裝，穿上它，然後再戴上其他東西，如化妝品、防曬、香水、首飾、

hair clips, hairspray, a hat, sunglasses and some shoes.

髮夾、髮膠、帽子、太陽鏡和鞋子。

Then after a quick breakfast, or if you're anything like me you'll skip breakfast and just have coffee instead, you'll head out into the summer sunshine.

然後快速吃完早餐，如果你像我一樣不吃早餐，只喝咖啡，那麼你就可以在夏日的陽光下出門了。

You head down the road towards the bus stop and you get on a bus.

你沿著馬路走向公車站，然後上了一輛公車。

You sit down on the top floor because it's a double-decker bus --my favourite kind of bus -- and you put on your headphones and turn up your favourite music.

你坐在頂層，因為這是一輛雙層巴士（我最喜歡這種巴士）你戴上耳機，打開你最喜歡的音樂。

You look out the window and take in the sights as the bus drives through London and you just chill out for a bit.

當巴士駛過倫敦時，你會向窗外望去，欣賞窗外的風景，然後放鬆一下。

Now it's time to get off.

現在該下車了。

You get off the bus and you make your way towards your favourite cafe.

你下了公車，向你最喜歡的咖啡館走去，

And when they ask you if your coffee is to have in or to have out or take away, you say, "Take away, please."

當他們問你咖啡是內帶、外帶時，你說請外帶，然後慢慢地向公園走去。

And then you make your way slowly to the park.

然後慢慢地向公園走去。

You sit down on a rug in the park and spend a good couple of hours there.

你可以在公園的地毯上坐下來，花上幾個小時的時間。

You whip out the novel that you're currently reading and you just sip your coffee and kick back.

你拿出正在閱讀的小說，啜一口咖啡，然後躺下。

The sun comes out properly, so you lie down and sunbathe for a little bit.

太陽出來了，你可以躺下來享受一會兒日光浴。

Everything is just truly wonderful in that moment.

那一刻，一切都非常美好，

And now it's time for you to go and meet your friend.

現在你該去見你的朋友了。

You meet up with an old friend that you haven't seen in ages, and you have lunch in an amazing new cafe that has just opened up in East London.

你與多年未見的老朋友相聚，在倫敦東區一家新開的咖啡館共進午餐。

You've been meaning to try this cafe out for a while so you're really, really excited to try what they have.

你一直想嚐嚐這家咖啡館的味道，所以你很期待品嚐他們的東西。

You sit down and you really catch up with your friend.

你坐下來，和你的朋友好好敘敘舊。

There's plenty to discuss.

有很多事情可以討論。

You order, of course, smashed avocado on toast.

你點的當然是酪梨泥烤吐司。

Typical London hipster.

典型的倫敦潮人。

I joke about it but it's the most delicious thing ever.

我開玩笑說這是最美味的東西。

Smashed avocado, try it if you haven't.

酪梨泥，沒吃過的可以試試。

You hang out with this friend for at least an hour and a half to two hours.

你至少要和這位朋友一起玩一個半小時到兩個小時。

People in London are so busy so you literally have to plan months in advance if you want to see a friend these days.

倫敦的人都很忙，所以現在想見個朋友都得提前幾個月計劃。

You say goodbye to your friend and then after lunch, you wander around the shops for a bit and you're just quietly browsing the clothes in H&M when suddenly you bump into an old colleague from work.

和朋友道別後，午飯後你在商店裡閒逛了一會兒，正安靜地逛 H&M 的衣服時，突然碰到了以前的同事。

This happens so often in London I don't even know how.

這種情況在倫敦經常發生，我都不知道是怎麼回事。

It's such a big city yet I always bump into someone I know when I go into H&M.

城市這麼大，但我每次去 H&M 都能碰到熟人。

And you catch up briefly, have a bit of small talk and then you go on your way.

你們簡短地敘敘舊，閒聊幾句，然後就上路了。

You decide to head home but then you come across a really cool Japanese supermarket.

你決定回家，但卻遇到了一家很酷的日本超市。

That's the great thing about London. You're just walking along and you can just suddenly come across or find an amazing shop that you were not expecting to find.

這就是倫敦的好處，你走著走著，就會突然遇到或發現一家你意想不到的神奇商店。

There's just so many hidden gems in London.

倫敦有太多不為人知的寶藏。

You decide to pick up some things from the Japanese shop for dinner because you're eating in that night so you may as well have something interesting.

你決定從日本商店買些東西作為晚餐，因為你當晚要在店裡用餐，所以不妨吃點有趣的東西。

Oh no!

哦，不！

You realise your phone battery is running out but that's okay. You can just buy a magazine to flip through on the bus.

你意識到手機快沒電了，但沒關係，你可以買本雜誌在公車上翻翻。

A much better use of time than scrolling through Instagram I think.

我認為這比滾滑 Instagram 更能利用時間。

You get home and you decide to put your feet up because you've done a lot of walking that day.

你回到家，決定把腳抬起來，因為你那天走了很多路。

You put on a vinyl, a jazz music vinyl, and you just chill out for a second, and then you pour yourself a glass of white wine.

你放上一張黑膠唱片，一張爵士樂黑膠唱片，然後你放鬆一下，然後給自己倒一杯白葡萄酒。

You turn down the lights just to create a bit of atmosphere, some ambience.

你把燈光調暗，為了營造一些氣氛。

After dinner, you decide to turn in and get an early night.

晚餐後，你決定早點休息。

It has been a lovely, calm, relaxing day.

今天的天氣很好，平靜而輕鬆。

You do some yoga before bed to properly relax and then read a bit more of your novel and then you turn the lights off, and it's goodnight to the world.

你在睡前做一些瑜珈來適當地放鬆，然後再讀一點你的小說，然後關掉燈，向世界道晚安。

So that was literally my day about three weeks ago and I don't go to London very often anymore because I don't live there and so when I do go, I have such a great time and I just love it.

這就是我三週前的某一天，我已經不經常去倫敦了，因為我不住在那裡。

Pronunciation tips.

發音訣竅。

Okay, let me give you some tips for how to pronounce phrasal verbs.

讓我來教大家一些片語動詞的發音技巧。

The most important thing to tell you is about blending.

最重要的是要告訴你的是關於連音。

So, what we do is we blend the verb and the preposition together, and that again, you guessed it, is to make it easier to say.

我們將動詞和介系詞混合在一起，你猜對了，這是為了讓它更容易念。

We're really just quite lazy, aren't we?

我們真的很懶，對嗎？

We just want everything smooth easy to say.

我們只希望一切都能順暢易說。

Anyway, this is really easy when the verb ends with a consonant and the preposition starts with a vowel which is obviously very, very often.

總之，當動詞以子音結尾，而介係詞以母開頭時，這個問題就很容易解決了。

Let me show you what I mean.

讓我示範給你看我的意思。

For the phrasal verbs with turn, we've got turnoff, turnoff. It becomes one word.

帶 turn 的片語動詞，我們會念 turnoff，它變成了一個詞。

Don't say turn off, turn off. It's not as natural.

別分開說 turn off，這樣不自然。

We want this to sound really natural because if you're going to use phrasal verbs, you may as well sound natural because that's the whole point of using them.

我們希望這聽起來非常自然，因為如果你要使用片語動詞，最好聽起來自然一些，因為這就是使用它們的意義所在。

Similarly, in turnin, we've got turnin. It becomes one word, turnin.

同樣，turn in ，我們會說 turnin，變成一個字。

And the phrasal verbs with get, we've got getup, getup, not get up. It's getup.

片語動詞中有 get 的，會念 getup，而不是 get up，是 getup。

And geton. Geton the bus. Geton.

還有 geton。Geton the bus。

Sounds like a completely different word, doesn't it, when you think of it like that.

聽起來是完全不同的詞，不是嗎？

So yes, just remember to blend them together.

所以是的，只要記住把它們連在一起就可以了。

So I hope you enjoyed that video. A little bit different to usual.

我希望你們喜歡這個與往常有點不同的影片。

But as I told you before, I've got loads of ideas, so just be prepared for all these wild videos to come.

但正如我之前告訴過你們的，我有很多想法，所以請做好準備，迎接這些狂野的影片。

Hit subscribe, I would be so happy as usual. I know I always say that but honestly, that is just so great.

點擊訂閱，我會像往常一樣高興。我知道我總是這麼說，但說實話，這真是太棒了。

Comment down below if you liked it, let me know, just give me any sort of feedback that you'd like to give. I'm all ears to all of it.
