頻率副詞

Are you confused sometimes with people's answers?

你是否有時對別人的回答感到困惑？

This is a recent trend that started, I don't know how long ago, 42 minutes ago it started.

這是最近的趨勢，我不知道是多久前開始的，42 分鐘前開始的。

And the way that people in North America, Canada, and America, because in Mexico they speak Spanish, and some other English-speaking countries, I don't know, England, New Zealand, Australia, do they do this there, too?

北美、加拿大和美國的人們也是這樣做的，因為在墨西哥他們說西班牙語，還有其他一些英語國家，我不知道，英國、紐西蘭、澳洲，他們也是這樣做的嗎？

If you're living in one of these English-speaking countries, watch my lesson and tell me in the comments if you hear this confusing answer where you are.

如果你生活在這些英語國家中的任何一個，請觀看我的課程，並在評論中告訴我你在哪裡聽到過這種令人困惑的答案。

So, if someone asks you a question, like, example, hey, Ronnie, do you want to hang out later?

所以，如果有人問你一個問題，比如，嘿，羅尼，你待會兒想一起出去玩嗎？

So it's very confusing because we have a positive and a negative, but if I say, no, yeah, that actually means yes, I do want to hang out later.

所以這很讓人困惑，因為我們有正反兩方面，但如果我說，不，是的，這實際上意味著是的，我確實想晚些時候出去玩。

Your life would be easier if the person said, no, yeah, let's hang out.

如果對方說 "不，好吧，我們一起出去玩吧"，你的生活就會輕鬆很多。

But a lot of the times when we speak, we shorten our answers.

但很多時候，當我們發言時，我們會縮短我們的回答。

然後我們就有了，是的，沒有。

所以，我們想，好吧，讓我們跟著...

所以，嘿嘿，你想掛出以後呢？

Well, so that means no, or sometimes we say nope, nope.

嗯，所以這意味著不行，或者有時候我們說不行，不行。

If they give you another answer or an excuse, we understand more.

如果他們給你另一個答案或藉口，我們會更加理解。

Hey, do you want to hang out on Saturday?

Yeah, no, for sure means 100% yes, definitely.

是的，"不"、"肯定 "意味著 "100%是"、"肯定"。

那麼，我們為什麼不直接說 "是 "或 "不是 "呢？

哦，嘿，星期一怎麼樣，羅尼？

Not free on Sunday at all, although at first I said no, and then I said yeah, and they said no.

週日完全不免費，雖然一開始我說不免費，後來我說免費，他們又說不免費。

No, yeah, no, not going to do it on Monday.

I used to do this a lot when I was a kid.

I would go to my friend's house, and I was a shy kid, I'm still shy, and my friend would say, hey, Ronnie, do you want a Diet Coke?

我會去我朋友家，我是個害羞的孩子，現在也是，我朋友會說，嘿，羅尼，你要健怡可樂嗎？

What I should say is yes, or yes, please, but I have a tendency instead of saying yes or no to...

我應該說 "是的"，或者 "是的，請"，但我有一種傾向，不說 "是的 "或 "不是"，而是...

Instead of saying yes to say sure, so if someone asks you a question and the answer is sure, that means yes.

與其說 "是"，不如說 "肯定"，所以如果有人問你一個問題，而你的回答是 "肯定"，那就意味著 "是"。

So, when I was doing this lesson, I was thinking, oh, why do we do this?

所以，在上這一課的時候，我在想，哦，我們為什麼要這樣做呢？

Why can't we just say, hey, do you want to hang out later?

為什麼我們就不能說，嘿，你一會兒想出去玩嗎？

So, we have a technique in English called softening the answer.

是以，英語中有一種技巧叫 "軟化答案"。

So, you don't want to make your friend cry when you say, no, I hate you.

所以，當你說 "不，我恨你 "時，你不會想讓你的朋友哭泣。

So, we do this to soften the answer, say, hey, do you want to hang out later?

所以，我們這樣做是為了軟化回答，說，嘿，你想待會兒一起出去玩嗎？

It's like you're giving the person the possibility of it being a yes, and then you're like, no.

這就好像你給了對方 "是 "的可能性，然後你又說 "不"。

So, the person's got their hopes up, and they're all excited, and then, phew, no, yeah, no.

於是，人們滿懷希望，興奮不已，然後，呼，不，是的，不。

Maybe that isn't a way of softening things.

也許這並不是一種軟化的方式。

Maybe it's making it harder for the person.

Hey, Ronnie, do you want to hang out later?

And the other reason why we do this is I mentioned at the beginning, it's a trend.

我們這樣做的另一個原因是，我在開頭提到過，這是一種趨勢。

People didn't speak like this, like, 20, 30 years ago.

二三十年前，人們不會這樣說話。

It's just something that's come up recently to confuse you.

這只是最近出現的讓你困惑的事情。

生活在這個時代，你不覺得幸福嗎？
