And if you're a loyal subscriber, respect you.

如果您是我們的忠實訂戶，我們向您表示敬意。

This is the YouTube channel for daily, natural English that is in use today.

這是一個 YouTube 頻道，介紹當今使用的日常自然英語。

None of this outdated stuff that's not actually being used.

沒有這些過時的、沒有實際用途的東西。

And today the setting is the British seaside.

而今天的背景則是英國的海濱。

前幾個星期，我去了布萊頓海灘。

I used to live there, so I have a lot of memories there.

我曾經住在那裡，所以我在那裡有很多回憶。

And I spent the whole day there just listening out for what people were saying and making notes on the culture.

我在那裡花了一整天的時間傾聽人們的談話，並記錄下他們的文化。

Today you're going to learn some lovely seaside vocabulary, which is very important for daily English.

今天，您將學習一些可愛的海邊詞彙，這些詞彙對日常英語非常重要。

And of course you're going to learn about British culture.

Get yourself a lovely chilled glass of lemonade and let's get started.

給自己來一杯冰鎮檸檬水，我們開始吧。

在這裡，我們可以找到真正的樂趣。

We're usually so polite and controlled in our everyday life.

在日常生活中，我們通常都是彬彬有禮、有條不紊的。

But on the seaside, all of that goes out the window and everyone just lets their hair down.

但在海邊，這一切都不復存在，每個人都會盡情釋放自己。

And as you all probably know, it's the one place where your inner child can come out as much as it wants.

你們可能都知道，在這裡，你內心的孩子可以盡情釋放。

Acting like a child and behaving like a child all day is completely normalised.

整天表現得像個孩子，完全正常化了。

The British seaside is a national institute.

英國海濱是一個國家級研究所。

It's the home of the fish and chips, the buckets and spades, and of course the socks and sandals.

這裡是炸魚和薯條的故鄉，是水桶和鏟子的故鄉，當然也是襪子和涼鞋的故鄉。

Okay, first of all, we say dip to mean going swimming in the sea.

好吧，首先，我們說的浸泡是指下海游泳。

Usually a dip is just to cool down if it's really hot.

如果天氣很熱，浸泡通常只是為了降溫。

On the day that I went, it was only about 20 degrees, so it wasn't that hot.

我去的那天，氣溫只有 20 度左右，所以並不熱。

But still, people go swimming in the sea, even when the sea is freezing.

但人們仍然下海游泳，即使海水冰冷刺骨。

Chicken is what we say when someone is too scared to do something.

當一個人不敢做某事時，我們就會說 "膽小鬼"。

It's not very kind to call someone a chicken, but it's quite funny.

說別人是膽小鬼並不厚道，但很有趣。

And obviously chickens are quite scared, aren't they?

Daddy, can you help me dig out a moat for my castle?

爸爸，你能幫我為我的城堡挖一條護城河嗎？

So near where I was sitting, there was a family and there were some children playing and they were making sandcastles, which is a very typical activity.

在我坐的地方附近，有一家人和幾個孩子在玩耍，他們在堆沙堡，這是一項非常典型的活動。

Here we have the phrasal verb to dig out, meaning to literally get the sand and dig it out to make a moat around the castle, so that when the tide comes in, which we'll talk about in a second, it will go around the outside like a moat.

這裡有一個短語動詞 "挖"，意思是把沙子挖出來，在城堡周圍築一條護城河，這樣當潮水來臨時（我們稍後會講到潮水），沙子就會像護城河一樣繞到城堡外面。

So here you've learnt the new word moat, if you didn't know that already, which falls into the category of castle language, and I love castles.

如果你還不知道護城河這個詞的話，那麼你已經學會了這個新詞，它屬於城堡語言的範疇，而我喜歡城堡。

This is related to fish and chips, or as we often say, fish and chips.

這與魚和薯條有關，也就是我們常說的 "魚和薯條"。

I have to say, we really do fish and chips very well, especially if you order that by the sea, where it's likely to be fresh.

我不得不說，我們的炸魚和薯條確實做得很好，尤其是在海邊點的炸魚和薯條，因為那裡的魚很新鮮。

So there was a little fish and chip shop right near the beach, which, by the way, is so common.

海灘附近有一家炸魚薯條小店，順便說一句，這很常見。

There's usually about 20,000 of them all competing for the customers.

通常會有大約 20 000 家這樣的公司在爭奪客戶。

You have to be ready for them, because they ask them very quickly, and there's often a queue behind you.

你必須做好準備，因為他們問得很快，而且你後面經常要排隊。

What they're actually saying here is, do you want that wrapped?

他們實際上是在說，你想要那個包裝嗎？

Which means, would you like them to wrap the box in paper, so it's like a bundle.

也就是說，你希望他們用紙包好盒子，這樣就像捆綁在一起一樣。

Usually people do this when they want to keep the fish and chips warm, if they're taking them to the beach, or taking them home, or far away to have them.

通常，如果要把炸魚和薯條帶到海邊，或帶回家，或帶到很遠的地方吃，人們就會這樣做，以保持炸魚和薯條的溫度。

Up until the 1980s, fish and chips were wrapped in newspaper to save money.

直到 20 世紀 80 年代，為了省錢，炸魚和薯條都是用報紙包裹的。

But this was later deemed unhygienic, so was banned.

但這種做法後來被認為不衛生，是以被禁止。

They're asking if you want salt and vinegar.

In the UK, we like to put vinegar on chips.

在英國，我們喜歡在薯片上放醋。

除非你嘗試過，否則不要妄加評論。

其實他們說的是番茄醬或蛋黃醬。

I think this is the most difficult one to understand when it's said fast.

我認為這是最難以理解的，因為說得太快了。

我是說，這太瘋狂了，不是嗎？

What I saw when I was queuing for fish and chips.

我在排隊買炸魚薯條時看到了什麼？

A man behind me wearing socks and sandals.

我身後有個人穿著襪子和涼鞋。

This is famously from the UK, the kind of UK look in the summer.

這就是英國著名的夏季英國風。

Apart from being completely red from head to toe because of sunburn, not only do we look like a lobster or a prawn, we're also wearing sandals with socks, which is kind of eccentric, kind of pointless, kind of weird.

除了因為晒傷而從頭到腳通紅之外，我們不僅看起來像龍蝦或大蝦，還穿著帶襪子的涼鞋，這有點古怪，有點無意義，有點怪異。

To be honest, socks and sandals kind of comes in the same category as carpet for me.

老實說，襪子和涼鞋對我來說和地毯差不多。

They're both kind of cozy, but also a bit weird.

它們都有點舒適，但也有點怪異。

Fun fact, the Romans wore socks and sandals over 2,000 years ago.

有趣的是，2000 多年前的羅馬人就穿襪子和涼鞋了。

Isn't the sea such a gorgeous shade of turquoise?

That's actually quite difficult to say, gorgeous shade, gorgeous shade.

這其實很難說出口，色調華麗，色調華麗。

現在，這裡有一個高級詞來形容藍色。

And you know when the sea is like a colour of greeny blue, which it often is in the UK, it's never that crystal clear, beautiful, almost white colour that you get in the Caribbean.

要知道，英國的海水通常都是碧藍碧藍的，而加勒比海的海水卻不是那種清澈見底、美麗近白的顏色。

So turquoise, great word to describe the colour of the sea.

綠松石，形容大海顏色的好詞。

Here, we are just remarking on something beautiful, which is very much part of British culture.

在這裡，我們只是在評論一些美好的事物，而這正是英國文化的一部分。

We often see something and just remark on it to everyone around us.

我們經常會看到一些事情，然後就對周圍的人議論紛紛。

I heard this when I walked down to the shore.

When you say the shore, you're really talking about where the sea meets the beach.

你說的 "海岸"，其實是指海與沙灘交匯的地方。

So where the waves are crashing onto the beach.

That's called the shore, or the shoreline.

I just paddled, which means you just get your feet wet and you walk out a little way, usually in your jelly shoes or your flip-flops.

我只是划船，這意味著你只是把腳弄溼，然後走出去一段路，通常是穿著果凍鞋或人字拖。

Because of the pebbles, they're so painful on your feet.
