Hello there lovely people, welcome back to English with Catherine.

大家好，歡迎回到凱瑟琳英語。

to 不定詞

If you're new here, hello, welcome, this is my channel, my name's Catherine.

如果你是新來的，你好，歡迎，這是我的頻道，我叫凱瑟琳。

And if you're a loyal subscriber, thank you so much.

如果您是忠實的訂閱者，非常感謝。

This is the YouTube channel where you will learn daily natural English that is in use today.

在這個 YouTube 頻道中，您將學習到當今使用的日常自然英語。

And some of this stuff you really can't learn in textbooks, I'm afraid.

恐怕有些東西在教科書上是學不到的。

Today's video is called I Say This Every Day, Summer Edition.

今天的影片名為「我每天都會這麼說，夏日版」。

As you can tell from my dress, it's a lovely summer's day.

從我的裙子上可以看出，今天是個宜人的夏日。

You're going to learn some English for having small talk, for making plans, for making new friends, and even having deeper conversation.

您將學習一些英語，用於閒聊、制定計劃、結交新朋友，甚至進行更深入的交談。

I don't know what we're waiting for, let's just get started.

我不知道我們還在等什麼，趕緊開始吧。

Small talk, this is part of daily life here in Britain, especially if you live here, you're going to have to get used to having small talk with strangers.

閒聊，這是英國日常生活的一部分，尤其是如果你住在這裡，你就必須習慣與陌生人閒聊。

People just love to chat here, so you have to be ready.

人們喜歡在這裡哈拉，所以你必須做好準備。

It's an absolute scorcher today, isn't it?

I've talked about this before, but when the weather is really hot in England or in the UK, we're likely going to remark on it.

我以前說過這個問題，但當英國或英格蘭的天氣非常炎熱時，我們很可能會對此發表評論。

An absolute scorcher, as you probably worked out, means very hot, probably over 25 degrees.

正如你可能已經知道的那樣，"絕對高溫 "意味著非常熱，可能超過 25 度。

Of course, we have the tag question at the end, isn't it?

當然，最後還有一個標籤問題，不是嗎？

It doesn't need an answer, we just use them to make conversation flow.

這不需要答案，我們只是用它們來讓對話流暢。

This is what we say when we're asking if you're going on holiday.

當我們問你是否要去度假時，我們就會這麼說。

Us Brits start planning our holiday in, like, January.

我們英國人從一月份就開始計劃假期了。

January, February, and March, they're quite dark, dingy months.

一月、二月和三月，都是陰沉沉的月份。

So in around June or July, people start saying this in small talk.

是以，大約在 6 月或 7 月，人們開始在閒聊中這樣說。

You know when this happens to me is when I'm in the hairdressers.

我在理髮店時就會遇到這種情況。

I don't usually like small talk in the hairdressers, I get really awkward for some reason.

我通常不喜歡在美髮店裡閒聊，不知道為什麼，我會覺得很尷尬。

Now, if you actually want to see people and do things in your life, you need to know how to make plans.

現在，如果你真的想在生活中見人、做事，你就需要知道如何制定計劃。

I'm actually a real planner, so I love a calendar and a diary.

實際上，我是一個真正的計劃主義者，所以我喜歡日曆和日記本。

Do you fancy coming over for a barbecue this evening?

This is actually something that a friend said to me the other day.

這其實是前幾天一位朋友對我說的話。

And I was so happy because I haven't been to a barbecue yet this summer.

我非常高興，因為今年夏天我還沒有參加過燒烤活動。

And barbecues are quite a big deal in the UK.

As soon as the sun kind of peeps out from behind the cloud, everyone's like, get the barbecue, and we go.

當太陽從雲層後面露出頭來的時候，大家就開始烤肉，然後我們就出發了。

We're using do you fancy to make plans here.

我們在這裡使用 "您是否喜歡制定計劃"。

And it's a nice way of asking someone, is this something you'd like to do?

這也是一種很好的詢問方式，你願意這樣做嗎？

We say come over when we want to invite someone to our home.

當我們想邀請某人來家裡做客時，我們會說 "過來"。

We never really say come to my house, come to my flat.

我們從不說來我家，來我的公寓。

Come over on Saturday or come over on Monday for coffee.

週六過來，或者週一過來喝咖啡。

Also, nice weather encourages spontaneity in us Brits.

此外，好天氣還能激發我們英國人的自發性。

We're not usually very spontaneous as a nation.

作為一個國家，我們通常不是很自發。

But when there's gorgeous weather, it's almost like you have to seize the moment.

但是，當天氣晴朗時，你幾乎必須抓住這一刻。

So that's when we're likely to be our most spontaneous, inviting people over in the same day.

是以，這也是我們最隨心所欲的時候，在同一天邀請別人來家裡做客。

Now guys, what do you do if someone invites you to something and you want to say no?

夥計們，如果有人邀請你們去參加什麼活動，而你們想拒絕，該怎麼辦？

You want to politely decline, but you're not sure how to say it in a nice way without sounding a bit too direct.

你想婉言謝絕，但又不知道怎麼說才好聽，又不會顯得太直接。

I'm really sorry, but I'm a little bit busy later on.

真的很抱歉，我一會兒有點忙。

So here we're politely declining, but we're also suggesting doing it another time.

所以在這裡，我們婉言謝絕，但也建議下次再做。

所以，這並不是一個很難的 "不 "字。

It's just no today, but not tomorrow maybe or next week.

只是今天沒有，但明天也許沒有，或者下週也沒有。

Or I'm really sorry, but I've already made plans.

或者我真的很抱歉，但我已經有計劃了。

Again, we're saying no, but we're suggesting another plan to make up for it.

我們再次拒絕，但我們建議用另一個計劃來彌補。

What about if you want to say yes to an invitation, but with some conditions?

如果您想答應邀請，但附帶一些條件，該怎麼辦？

So you can go, but maybe not till later or after you've done something you need to do.

所以，你可以去，但也許要等到晚些時候，或者在你做完你需要做的事情之後。

I've got to drop Freddie off at a friend's first, but then I'll head over.

我得先把弗雷迪送到朋友家，然後再過去。

Here we're using the phrasal verb to drop off, meaning you have a child, you need to take your child to their friend's house or somewhere, and that's what we say.

在這裡，我們使用的是短語動詞 "送"，意思是你有一個孩子，你需要把孩子送到他的朋友家或其他地方，這就是我們所說的 "送"。

In the UK, it's the etiquette, as I'm sure it is in your country, to bring something to an event or to an occasion if you've been invited to it.

在英國，如果有人邀請你參加某項活動或出席某個場合，你必須帶些東西去，這是一種禮儀，我相信在你們國家也是如此。

Or if it's a barbecue, you could say this,

如果是燒烤，你也可以這樣說、

And that's saying you'll go to a shop on your way to their house and get some burgers for the barbecue that will probably end up completely burned later on.

這就是說，你會在去他們家的路上去一家商店買一些燒烤用的漢堡包，而這些漢堡包很可能會被燒得面目全非。

When you want to tell them you're coming and you're going to be there very soon,

當你想告訴他們你要來了，而且很快就會到、

That means you've already started your journey to their house, to their home, and you're going to be there soon.

這意味著你已經開始了去他們家的旅程，去他們的家，而且你很快就會到那裡。

You're at a party, which can be a very scary environment if you're not feeling very confident with your English.

你正在參加一個派對，如果你對自己的英語不太自信，這可能是一個非常可怕的環境。

So as we all know, in conversation, we're likely to be asked what we do for a living, what we like, what we dislike, whether we have children, what our life plans are, maybe.

是以，我們都知道，在交談中，我們很可能會被問到我們是做什麼工作的，我們喜歡什麼，不喜歡什麼，我們是否有孩子，我們的人生規劃是什麼，等等。

Now, I don't always like asking this question.

現在，我並不總是喜歡問這個問題。

It's perfectly fine to ask it, obviously.

顯然，問這個問題完全沒問題。

But I like to ask about what someone likes in life.

但我喜歡問一個人在生活中喜歡什麼。

Because sometimes what they do for money or what they do for a job isn't necessarily what they love doing in their spare time.

因為有時他們為錢或為工作而做的事情並不一定是他們業餘時間喜歡做的事情。

We're not all lucky to have a job that we absolutely love.

我們並不都能幸運地擁有一份自己絕對熱愛的工作。

Sometimes we don't want to talk about it.

So you could ask, what are you into, then?

But what are you into is just a very general way to ask that.

不過，"你喜歡什麼 "只是一個非常籠統的問題。

音樂、自然、旅行，什麼都喜歡。
