First, we'll watch part of the clip with subtitles.

首先，我們將觀看帶字幕的部分片段。

I want you kids to look around you today and think about your future.

我希望孩子們今天環顧四周，想想自己的未來。

Now is the time in your life when anything is possible.

現在是你人生中一切皆有可能的時刻。

Spiraling perfectly. It's going to be caught by Roy Parsons.

完美旋轉會被羅伊-帕森斯接住的

Roy Parsons is at the 20. Now he's at the 10. Nothing can stop Roy the Rocket. Touchdown!

羅伊-帕森斯在20號位現在他在10號位沒有什麼能阻止火箭羅伊觸地得分

I just think it's time to get realistic. Have you talked to my father about the carpet store? Roy?

我只是覺得該現實點了。你跟我父親談過地毯店的事了嗎？羅伊？

Had we caught it sooner? Well hindsight is 20-20, Roy. What's important is that we move quickly.

如果我們早點發現呢？事後諸葛亮嘛，羅伊。重要的是我們要儘快行動。

I'm not ready to die. You're not going to.

Hey, Roy, you pull those Persian off-white shags for the clearance sale?

嘿，羅伊，你為清倉大拋售拉來了那些波斯米白色的絨毯嗎？

Now we'll break down the video and learn key vocabulary.

現在我們來分解視頻，學習關鍵詞彙。

This place is the best. It's got beer, games, prizes, and you can never tell what time it is.

這個地方是最棒的。這裡有啤酒、遊戲、獎品，而且你永遠不知道現在幾點了。

Can tell, in this context, actually means to know or understand something.

在這裡，"能說 "實際上是指知道或理解某事。

For example, I can tell you're hungry because you're irritated, so I know you're hungry because you're in a bad mood.

例如，我能看出你餓是因為你很煩躁，所以我知道你餓是因為你心情不好。

And never tell means not being able to know or recognize something.

而 "永遠不說 "則意味著不知道或不認識某件事情。

For instance, I can never tell why my dog is barking.

例如，我從來都不知道我的狗為什麼叫。

In other words, I don't know or don't understand why my dog is barking.

換句話說，我不知道或不明白我的狗為什麼叫。

Here, Rick is saying you can never tell what time it is because there are no windows or clocks, so you just get lost in the video games and spend hours playing them.

在這裡，裡克說你永遠不知道現在是幾點，因為沒有窗戶或時鐘，所以你只能迷失在電子遊戲中，花幾個小時玩遊戲。

You sold a gun to a murderer so you could play video games?

你把槍賣給殺人犯就是為了玩電子遊戲？

Sold is the past tense of sell, which means to give something to someone in exchange for money or another item.

Sold 是 sell 的過去式，意思是把東西給別人以換取金錢或其他物品。

And murderer is a person who intentionally kills another person.

殺人犯是指故意殺害他人的人。

So when Morty says, you sold a gun to a murderer so you could play video games, he is expressing disbelief and disapproval that Rick is putting his own fun above the harm that might come from selling the gun to a murderer.

是以，當莫蒂說 "你把槍賣給殺人犯是為了能玩電子遊戲 "時，他表達的是對瑞克把自己的樂趣置於把槍賣給殺人犯可能帶來的傷害之上的不相信和不贊同。

The arcade in this scene is inspired by real arcades that actually exist in the U.S., like Dave & Buster's.

這個場景中的拱廊靈感來源於美國真實存在的拱廊，比如 Dave & Buster's。

Yeah, sure. I mean, if you spend all day shuffling words around, you can make anything sound bad, Morty.

是的，當然我是說，如果你整天都在拼字 你可以把任何東西都說得很難聽，莫蒂

Shuffling means to mix or change the order of things, like shuffling playing cards.

洗牌的意思是混合或改變事物的順序，比如洗撲克牌。

The phrase shuffling words around gives us the image of someone physically moving words as if they were cards to create a different sentence or statement.

shuffling words around "這個短語給我們的印象是，有人用身體移動詞語，就像移動撲克牌一樣，從而創造出不同的句子或語句。

So what Rick means here is that if you mix words around in a sentence, you can come up with different meanings, positive or negative.

是以，裡克的意思是，如果你在句子中混用詞語，就會產生不同的含義，無論是正面的還是負面的。

Here, he's acting like Morty has mixed up what really happened to make it sound like Rick did something bad.

在這裡，他的表現就像是莫迪把真實發生的事情搞混了，讓人覺得瑞克做了壞事。

Here, check this out, is a casual way of asking someone to look at or pay attention to something they have created or found interesting.

來，看看這個，這是一種隨意的方式，要求別人看看或注意他們創造的或發現有趣的東西。

For instance, if you see an awesome painting, you might tell someone, check this out.

例如，如果你看到一幅很棒的畫，你可能會告訴別人，看看這個。

In this scene, Rick is trying to change a subject or distract Morty with a video game so he doesn't have to talk about him selling the gun to a murderer.

在這個場景中，瑞克試圖用遊戲來轉移話題或分散莫蒂的注意力，這樣他就不用再談他把槍賣給殺人犯的事了。

是的，當然我是說，如果你整天都在拼字 你可以讓任何東西聽起來很糟糕，莫蒂

I had a nightmare. I was with an old man. He put a helmet on me.

我做了一個噩夢。我和一個老人在一起他給我戴上了頭盔

So now, Morty put on the helmet and he's playing a virtual reality video game, also known as VR.

現在，莫迪戴上頭盔，開始玩虛擬現實電子遊戲，也就是 VR。

In this game, he's living a second life as someone named Roy, and for him, it feels real, but it's just a video game.

在這款遊戲中，他以一個名叫羅伊的人的身份過著第二種生活，對他來說，這種感覺很真實，但這只是一款電子遊戲。

The word nightmare refers to a bad or scary dream that someone might have while sleeping.

噩夢一詞指的是一個人在睡覺時可能做的噩夢或可怕的夢。

For instance, if you have a dream about a bear chasing you, that's a nightmare.

例如，如果你夢見一隻熊在追你，那就是噩夢。

A helmet is a protective covering worn on the head, often used in sports or other activities to prevent injuries.

頭盔是戴在頭上的保護罩，通常在運動或其他活動中使用，以防止受傷。

For instance, if you ride a bike, make sure to put on a helmet.

例如，如果你騎自行車，一定要戴上頭盔。

So here, Roy thought it was a helmet that Rick put on him, but it was actually the VR.

在這裡，羅伊以為裡克給他戴的是頭盔，其實是 VR。

He thought that Rick and Morty in the arcade was a dream he had.

他認為，《瑞克和莫蒂》出現在商場裡是他的一個夢想。

Now let's see what else Morty does in this video game life as Roy.

現在，讓我們看看莫迪在扮演羅伊的視頻遊戲生活中還會做些什麼。

It's just a fever. Get some sleep. I don't want you missing school on Monday.

只是發燒而已好好睡一覺我可不想你星期一曠課

Fever is a high body temperature that often comes with an illness.

發燒是指體溫升高，通常伴隨著疾病。

You would say it's just to comfort someone who might be worried about something.

你會說，這只是為了安慰那些可能在擔心什麼的人。

In this case, it's being sick. It's a way to let them know that something isn't particularly serious.

在這種情況下，就是生病。這是讓他們知道事情並不特別嚴重的一種方式。

For instance, it's just $5, so let's buy it.

比如，只要 5 美元，那就買吧。

Missing typically means not able to be found because it's not in its expected place.

遺失通常是指找不到，因為它不在預想的地方。

But in this context, it means when a person is absent from a place.

但在這裡，它指的是一個人不在一個地方。

For instance, have you seen my dog? She's missing.

比如，你看到我的狗了嗎？它不見了

In this clip, Roy's mom doesn't want him to be absent from school, and his fever or sickness isn't bad enough to keep him from going.

在這個片段中，羅伊的媽媽不希望他缺課，而他的發燒或生病還沒有嚴重到不能上學的地步。

When someone tells you to think about your future, they usually want you to consider what could happen from your actions and decisions, meaning the things you do now could affect your life in the future.

當有人讓你考慮未來時，他們通常希望你考慮你的行為和決定可能帶來的後果，也就是說，你現在做的事情可能會影響你未來的生活。

Think about is a way to ask someone to reflect about a certain topic.

思考 "是一種要求別人思考某個主題的方式。

Anything is possible is an encouraging phrase that means you should never limit yourself because there are no boundaries to what you can achieve.

一切皆有可能 "是一句鼓舞人心的話，意思是你永遠不應該限制自己，因為你所能取得的成就是沒有界限的。

This is a very positive and motivating statement, often used to inspire people to chase their dreams and not be held back by doubts or fears.

這是一句非常積極、激勵人心的話，常用來激勵人們追逐夢想，不要被懷疑或恐懼所束縛。

A similar expression is nothing is impossible, similar to how it's not impossible to learn English with YouTube when you don't have a lot of time.

類似的說法還有 "沒有什麼是不可能的"（nothing is impossible），這就好比當你沒有太多時間時，用 YouTube 學習英語也不是不可能的。

And if you're just relying on YouTube or Netflix subtitles, it's easy to get lost.

如果您只依賴 YouTube 或 Netflix 的字幕，很容易迷失方向。

When YouTube's automatic subtitles say at the moment in your lives, but the teacher actually says now is the time in your life, which is totally different.

當YouTube的自動字幕說 "你們生命中的此刻 "時，老師卻說 "現在是你們生命中的時刻"，這完全是兩碼事。

This is exactly why I recommend my students FluentU, an app that teaches you English through authentic videos with accurate and interactive subtitles.

這正是我向我的學生推薦 FluentU 的原因，這是一款通過真實視頻和準確的互動字幕教授英語的應用程序。

FluentU gives you context specific definitions, never literal translations.

FluentU 提供針對具體語境的定義，而不是直譯。

I'm going to wear this all the time. I love this shirt.

我要一直穿著它。我愛這件襯衫。

So if we hover over the phrase, we see one context specific definition for this phrase and not three separate definitions since that wouldn't really make sense here.

是以，如果我們將鼠標懸停在這個短語上，我們就會看到這個短語的一個特定語境定義，而不是三個單獨的定義，因為那樣在這裡就沒有意義了。

If we click on it, we also get example sentences and real world video examples that demonstrate how the vocabulary is actually used.

如果我們點擊它，還可以獲得例句和真實世界的視頻示例，展示詞彙的實際使用方法。

You need to give me a smaller picture and I'll have it all the time.

你只需要給我一張小一點的照片，我就能一直擁有它。

Roy Parsons is at the 20. Now he's at the 10.

羅伊-帕森斯在20號位現在他在 10 號位

Now in this scene, we have gone into Roy's future and he is a big American football star.

現在，在這個場景中，我們已經進入了羅伊的未來，他是一名美國橄欖球大明星。

Don't forget that this is just Morty playing as the character Roy.

別忘了，這只是莫迪扮演的羅伊。

Spiral means winding in a continuous curve.

So spiraling perfectly refers to the football being thrown in a perfect spiral, which is the ideal way to throw a football for accuracy and distance.

是以，"完美螺旋 "指的是橄欖球以完美的螺旋形投擲，這是保證準確性和距離的理想投擲方式。

The numbers 20 and 10 indicate the yard lines on the football field, telling us how close Roy is to scoring.

數字 20 和 10 表示足球場上的碼線，告訴我們羅伊距離得分還有多遠。

A yard is a unit of measurement that is equal to 0.91 meters.

一碼是一個計量單位，等於 0.91 米。

In America, we don't use the metric system.

We use yards, miles and feet per units of distance.

我們使用碼、英里和英尺作為距離組織、部門。

So in this context, Roy is making a great play and getting closer to scoring points for his team.

是以，在這種情況下，羅伊的表現非常出色，離為球隊得分也越來越近了。

Sports terms and phrases are used so often in English.

英語中經常使用體育術語和短語。
