很高興今天能和大家一起錄音。

Guys, Lindsay is out of town, so she is not here, but don't worry, she will be back.

夥計們，林賽出城了，所以她不在這裡，不過別擔心，她會回來的。

And we're looking forward to having her back.

But Aubrey, we're having some fun over here, right?

但奧布里，我們在這裡有一些樂趣，對不對？

Yes, I love recording with you, Michelle.

是的，我喜歡和你一起錄音，米歇爾。

Tell me, what is the name of the recording software that you use to record things like ads and titles?

告訴我，你們用來錄製廣告和標題等內容的錄音軟件叫什麼名字？

Yeah, that's the software that we record on.

是的，我們就是用這個軟件錄音的。

Which is a fun name for software because it has an interesting meaning in English, right?

這是一個有趣的軟件名稱，因為它在英語中有著有趣的含義，不是嗎？

It's not just the brand of some computer recording software.

這不僅僅是某些電腦錄音軟件的品牌問題。

So today we have a great question from our listener, Bita, about this word.

今天，聽眾 Bita 就這個詞提出了一個很好的問題。

So Bita says, hey, guys, the other day I came across the term Audacity on an Instagram reel, and I've been hearing it all the time, but I didn't know the exact meaning or whether it is used in a positive or negative way.

比塔說，嘿，夥計們，前幾天我在 Instagram 的卷軸上看到了 Audacity 這個詞，我一直都在聽，但我不知道它的確切含義，也不知道它到底是褒義還是貶義。

I would appreciate it if you could make an episode about it.

如果你們能製作一集相關內容，我將不勝感激。

And thank you for being our longtime fan.

And great question, and we use it both ways.

這個問題問得好，我們兩種方法都用。

This might be super positive to say someone has Audacity.

如果說有人擁有 Audacity，這可能是超級正面的說法。

是以，我將深入研究所有這些問題。

I mean, when I hear the word Audacity, I think of, well, first of all, our software.

我的意思是，當我聽到 Audacity 這個詞時，我首先想到的是我們的軟件。

But I also one of the first things I think of Barack Obama because he had a book called The Audacity of Hope.

但我首先想到的是奧巴馬，因為他有一本書叫《希望的勇氣》。

I don't know if I told you this, Michelle, or listeners out here, you may have heard this, that my son recently had to memorize a speech at school, and he memorized Obama's Yes, We Can speech, and it was all about hope and unity.

我不知道我是否告訴過你，米歇爾，或者在座的聽眾，你們可能聽說過，我兒子最近在學校要背演講稿，他背了奧巴馬的 "是的，我們能做到 "演講稿，講的都是希望和團結。

It was selections of it because it had to be three to five minutes, but he did such a great job.

因為必須在三到五分鐘內完成，所以要進行挑選，但他做得非常出色。

It's just such an amazing message of hope.

這真是一個令人驚歎的希望資訊。

Yeah, you sent me the video, I remember, and he's just what an incredible boy, right?

是的，你給我發了視頻，我記得，他真是個不可思議的孩子，對嗎？

But it is interesting to use it this way to say the Audacity of Hope.

不過，用這種方式來表達 "希望的勇氣 "還是很有意思的。

So we're going to talk about more what this means.

是以，我們將進一步討論這意味著什麼。

So it basically means this confidence, this boldness, you don't have fear, right?

所以，這基本上意味著這種自信，這種大膽，你沒有恐懼，對嗎？

And it can be used in either a positive or a negative way, don't you think?

它既可以被正面使用，也可以被反面使用，你覺得呢？

是以，在這裡，這是非常積極的。

The Audacity of Hope, meaning we are willing to hope even in spite of challenges, in spite of fears, right?

希望的勇氣，意味著我們即使面臨挑戰和恐懼，也願意抱有希望，對嗎？

We have confidence that we can have hope in spite of any reason that we wouldn't.

我們有信心，我們可以擁有希望，儘管我們有任何理由不希望。

So yeah, let's give some examples of how it can be used in a positive way.

是的，讓我們舉例說明如何以積極的方式使用它。

It's amazing that he had the audacity to move to New York all by himself.

And this is really interesting to think about describing someone as having audacity.

用 "膽大包天 "來形容一個人，這種想法真的很有意思。

You don't always know for sure how positive someone is being, right?

你並不總能確定別人的態度有多積極，對嗎？

If you say this, there could be an implication that you think it's sort of foolish or foolhardy, right?

如果你這麼說，可能會暗示你認為這有點愚蠢或魯莽，對嗎？

That someone maybe is just moving with no funds, no plan.

這個人也許只是在沒有資金、沒有計劃的情況下搬家。

Be like, he's got a lot of audacity to just move to New York by himself, right?

他一個人搬到紐約，膽子不小吧？

That might be almost criticism, but someone else might mean it as really a compliment.

這可能近乎責備，但別人可能真的是在讚美。

Like, I'm impressed that they're that brave.

You would have to listen to the intonation.

You would have to maybe know a little something about the person who's saying it.

你必須瞭解說這話的人的一些情況。

Or you might even have to ask a follow-up question, right?

或者，你可能還得問一個後續問題，對吧？

You could say, I think it's so impressive.

可以說，我覺得它太令人印象深刻了。

他的時尚選擇顯示了他的膽識。

他在紅地毯上真的很引人注目。

And again, is there an implied criticism here or is it only a compliment?

再說一遍，這裡是暗含責備，還是隻是讚美？

You might see word audacity in news media and the author may have intended one or the other and you won't be sure.

你可能會在新聞媒體上看到 "膽大包天 "這個詞，但作者的本意可能是這樣，也可能是那樣，你無法確定。

So let's talk about more of the negative side.

那麼，讓我們來談談更消極的一面。

Aubrey, you've made a really good point that even the positive ones could be a veiled criticism.

奧布里，你說得非常好，即使是正面的責備也可能是隱晦的責備。

It's not obvious because it could be taken positively.

這一點並不明顯，因為它可以被正面理解。

But these ones are a little bit obvious that they're negative, right?

但這些人的負面情緒有點明顯，對嗎？

In this way, audacity means almost too brave.

這樣一來，"大膽 "就意味著 "過於勇敢"。

And Aubrey, you want to read some of those examples?

奧布里，你想讀讀這些例子嗎？
