Okay, so romantic and dramatic.

好吧，好浪漫，好戲劇化。

Yeah, I think she really needed to hear that.

是啊，我想她真的需要聽到這句話。

Right?

對不對？

So I think she really wanted to hear, I love you.

所以我覺得她真的很想聽到 "我愛你"。

Yeah, that's right.

是的，沒錯。

And there's some interesting phrases here in this dialogue.

這段對話中有一些有趣的短語。

And today we're going to focus mostly on phrases.

今天我們主要討論短語。

So why don't we start with Fluency Builder?

那麼，我們為什麼不從 "流暢構建器 "開始呢？

Fluency Builder.

流暢性生成器。

Okay, on Fluency Builder today, we are going to take a look at some of these phrases.

好了，今天的 "流利說"，我們將學習其中的一些短語。

And the first one is very important and very different.

第一點非常重要，也非常不同。

So obviously this dialogue is about love.

很明顯，這次對話是關於愛的。

And we heard two different ways that this word is used.

我們聽到了這個詞的兩種不同用法。

And the first one is to love someone.

第一條就是愛一個人。

Right.

對

So he said, I love you.

於是他說，我愛你。

We all pretty much understand what that means.

Right.

對

But they also mentioned to be in love with someone.

Okay, so he said, I am in love with you.

I'm in love with you.

Okay, so what's the difference between to love and to be in love?

好吧，那麼 "愛 "和 "戀愛 "有什麼區別呢？

To be in love with someone means that you have these strong romantic feelings towards somebody.

愛上一個人，意味著你對某人有強烈的浪漫情懷。

That's right.

這就對了。

So you can only be in love with your boyfriend, your girlfriend, your husband, or your wife.

所以，你只能愛上你的男朋友、女朋友、丈夫或妻子。

So you can love your parents, you can love your family, but you can't be in love with them.

You can only be in love with your girlfriend, boyfriend, husband, wife.

你只能愛上你的女朋友、男朋友、丈夫、妻子。

That's right.

So moving on to the next phrase.

接下來是下一句。

Now the girl asked her boyfriend, can we talk?

現在，女孩問她的男朋友，我們能談談嗎？

Right.

對

We know the meaning, right?

我們知道其中的含義，對嗎？

But why does she say, can we talk?

但她為什麼說，我們能談談嗎？

Okay.

好的

So you use this when you want to start a conversation about something serious.

所以，當你想開始一段嚴肅的對話時，就可以用它。

Okay.

好的

So if you wanted to talk to me about my new shirt.

如果你想跟我談談我的新襯衫

I wouldn't ask, I wouldn't say, Hey Marco, can we talk?

我不會問，我不會說，嘿，馬可，我們能談談嗎？

Oh, I really like your shirt.

哦，我真的很喜歡你的襯衫。

Where'd you get it?

你從哪兒弄來的？

Exactly.

沒錯。

Right.

對

It has to be serious.

必須嚴肅認真。

It has to be serious.

必須嚴肅認真。

So usually if somebody says, Hey, can we talk?

It means that there's going to be a serious topic.

這意味著會有一個嚴肅的話題。

It's going to be probably bad news.

這可能是個壞消息。

So if your boyfriend or girlfriend tells you this, well, it's not a good sign.

這就對了。

So you know what I'm talking about?

你知道我在說什麼嗎？

You understand me.

你明白我的意思。

But the interesting thing is that we can also make it a question.

但有趣的是，我們也可以把它變成一個問題。

And it's all about the change in tone.

這一切都與語調的變化有關。

Okay.

好的

So with this in mind, let's listen to two examples of the same phrase, but with different tones and you try to see which one is the question.
