The link will be in the description below, but I will tell you more about this later. And now, let's check out the first scene.

鏈接將在下面的說明中提供，但我稍後會告訴你更多相關資訊。現在，讓我們來看看第一個場景。

See? No goblins. Do you think they've given up?

看到了嗎？沒有妖精你覺得他們放棄了嗎？

Wrong! Goblins don't give up. They're too stupid to know how. They're relentless and they're out there, right now, plotting.

錯了妖精是不會放棄的他們太蠢了，不知道怎麼放棄他們無情無義，現在就在外面密謀著呢

Which is why I came back for you. Now is the perfect time to bird. Bird!

這就是我回來找你的原因。現在是捕鳥的最佳時機鳥

Oh, come here, come here, come here. Don't go up there. No, come here.

哦，過來，過來，過來。別上去不，過來

Wait a minute. Do birds live in these little houses?

等一下鳥兒住在這些小房子裡嗎？

Yeah. Oh my gosh, that's genius. Who thought of that? You can stick your tongue right in a hogsquill.

是啊哦，我的天哪，真是天才。誰想出來的？你可以把舌頭伸進豬嘴裡 You can stick your tongue right in a hogsquill.

Let me bring you some context here. The Grace family has just discovered a hidden world of magical creatures in Spider Week.

讓我給大家介紹一下背景。格蕾絲一家剛剛在《蜘蛛周》中發現了一個神奇生物的隱祕世界。

They also find a special book written by their ancestor, which holds secrets about these creatures.

他們還發現了一本祖先寫的特別的書，裡面記載了關於這些生物的祕密。

Here we see Hogsquill, a hobgoblin who has decided to help the children.

在這裡，我們看到了決定幫助孩子們的妖精霍格斯奎爾。

He's warning them that the goblins haven't given up on trying to steal the book.

他警告他們，妖精們還沒有放棄偷書的念頭。

Remember, this book contains important knowledge about how to protect magical creatures.

記住，這本書包含如何保護神奇生物的重要知識。

By saying that goblins never give up, he means that they never quit or stop trying to achieve their goal.

他說妖精永不放棄，意思是他們從不放棄或停止努力實現自己的目標。

They're too stupid to know how. They're relentless and they're out there right now, plotting.

他們太蠢了，不知道怎麼做。他們是無情的，他們現在就在外面密謀。

Which is why I came back for you. Now is the perfect time to...

這就是我回來找你的原因現在是...

Hogsquill goes on to describe the goblins as relentless.

霍格斯奎爾繼續形容地精是無情的。

In this context, if you are relentless, you won't stop or give up.

在這種情況下，如果你堅持不懈，你就不會停止或放棄。

Hogsquill is basically saying that the goblins are heartless creatures and nothing will stop them.

霍格斯奎爾基本上是在說，地精是無情的生物，沒有什麼能阻止他們。

Check this example from How to Train Your Dragon.

看看《馴龍高手》中的這個例子。

In some other contexts, the word relentless can have a positive meaning when talking about determination and persistence in pursuing your goals.

在其他一些語境中，當談到追求目標的決心和毅力時，"relentless（不懈）"一詞也有積極的含義。

Relentless means persistent and unstoppable.

不懈意味著堅持不懈、勢不可擋。

And they're out there right now, plotting.

Plotting is secretly scheming and planning something, just like Jafar in a Latin movie.

密謀就是暗中謀劃，就像拉丁電影中的賈法爾一樣。

My most trusted counselor plotting against me all this time.

我最信任的顧問一直在密謀反對我。

This is horrible, just horrible. How will I ever...

太可怕了，太可怕了我以後怎麼...

It happens in the word hear, so what we hear is come here, come here.

它發生在 "聽到 "這個詞中，所以我們聽到的是 "來這裡，來這裡"。

Hogsquill eats birds, that's why when he sees a birdhouse that can work as a trap, he exclaims, that's genius.

Hogsquill 喜歡吃鳥，所以當他看到一個可以當陷阱用的鳥籠時，他驚呼道："太天才了。

Something genius is something smart, brilliant, or innovative.

天才是指聰明、卓越或創新的事物。

Similar phrases would be, wow, that's really smart, or that's a great idea.

類似的短語還有：哇，這真是太聰明瞭，或者這真是個好主意。

A difficult phrase for pronunciation. Who thought of that?

一個發音困難的短語。這是誰想出來的？

First of all, we have here a TH sound, a flap T at the end of thought, thought of, thought of, but then OFF gets reduced just to a simple schwa sound and links all three words together.

首先，我們這裡有一個 TH 音，在 thought、thought of、thought of 的末尾有一個瓣 T，但後來 OFF 變成了一個簡單的 schwa 音，並將這三個詞聯繫在一起。

You can pause and try to repeat the phrase several times.

您可以停頓一下，試著多重複幾遍這句話。

Oh my gosh, that's genius, who thought of that? You can stick your tongue right in a horse.

哦，我的天哪，真是天才，誰想到的？你可以把舌頭伸進馬嘴裡

Do you know this animal? It's an anteater and it uses its long tongue to catch ants from the termite nests.

你認識這種動物嗎？它是食蟻獸，用長長的舌頭從白蟻窩裡抓螞蟻。

It sticks its tongue right in, so to stick in means to insert.

它把舌頭伸進去，所以伸進去就是插入的意思。

We can stick in a plug into a socket and you can commonly hear another phrase in this context, which is to plug in.

我們可以把插頭插到插座上，在這種情況下，你通常會聽到另一個短語，那就是 "插入"。

But there's something very important that all parents say to their kids, never stick your fingers in a socket, that's dangerous.

但有一點非常重要，所有父母都會對孩子說，千萬不要把手指伸進插座裡，那很危險。

So we covered some really nice vocabulary here, relentless, plotting, stick in, but let me tell you this, if you don't review the words and expressions you use, you will likely to forget them very soon.

是以，我們在這裡涉及了一些非常好的詞彙，如無情、陰謀、插入，但讓我告訴你，如果你不復習你使用過的單詞和表達，你很可能很快就會忘記它們。

If you want to be able to actually use these words next time you get into an English conversation,

如果你想在下次英語會話中實際使用這些單詞、

他需要一隊勇敢的新兵幫他設下陷阱。

When Hogsquill warns the kids about Mulgarath, the goblin's leader, we can see how worried he is.

當霍格斯奎爾警告孩子們要小心妖精首領馬爾加拉斯時，我們可以看出他有多麼擔心。

Because if Mulgarath gets his hands on the entire book, something terrible will happen.

因為如果馬爾加拉斯拿到整本書，就會發生可怕的事情。

To get a hold of is a great expression that means to obtain or possess something.

掌握 "是一個很好的表達，意思是獲得或擁有某樣東西。

想象一下，你正伸手去拿架子上的玩具。

當你伸出手，終於抓住玩具時，你就抓住了它。

Another common phrase is to get a hold of yourself.

This means to regain control of your emotions, to calm down.

這意味著要重新控制情緒，冷靜下來。

For example, this clip from The Simpsons, when Homer gets overly excited,

例如，《辛普森一家》中荷馬過於興奮的片段、
