未來簡單式

And this probably will happen to you or happens to you or happened to you.

這可能會發生在你身上，或發生在你身上，或發生在你身上。

現在進行式

People will say things to you that you just really have no idea what they're talking about or what they mean, and maybe you will answer them in the wrong way.

人們會對你說一些你根本不知道他們在說什麼或什麼意思的話，也許你會以錯誤的方式回答他們。

If you make a mistake when you're answering somebody's question, don't worry.

如果你在回答別人的問題時出錯，不要擔心。

I know that you get embarrassed, like, oh my god, that's in English.

我知道你會覺得尷尬，比如 "天哪，那是英語"。

But you have to understand that even if somebody asks me a question, I can give the wrong answer because maybe I wasn't listening to them, because I'm pretty bad at listening to people, or I just didn't hear what they said.

但你必須明白，即使有人問我問題，我也可能給出錯誤的答案，因為也許我沒有聽他們說話，因為我很不擅長傾聽別人說話，或者我只是沒聽清他們說了什麼。

So don't feel bad, and I'm going to teach you some expressions that people might say to you, and now you can fix your mistakes and I can help you.

所以別難過，我會教你一些別人可能會對你說的表達方式，現在你可以糾正自己的錯誤，我也可以幫助你。

My friend was driving in a car, obviously, not an airplane, and he was going into a parking lot, and the parking attendant or the person that works at the parking lot said, hey, where are you off to today?

我的朋友開著車，顯然不是飛機，他進了一個停車場，停車場的管理員或工作人員說，嘿，你今天要去哪兒？

But he would never have said it that slowly or understandably.

但他絕不會說得那麼慢，也不會說得那麼明白。

He probably said, where are you off to today?

他可能會說，你今天要去哪兒？

And my friend thought about it and said, oh, yes.

我的朋友想了想，說，哦，是的。

The parking attendant looked confused because he asked him a question, like, where are you going today?

停車場管理員一臉茫然，因為他問了他一個問題，比如，你今天要去哪裡？

What my friend thought, he said, which is kind of weird, is, hey, you have a day off today, or it's your day off today.

我的朋友想了想，他說，這有點奇怪，嘿，你今天休息一天，或者說今天是你的休息日。

And my friend thought about it and said, why does this guy care, and how does he know that today's my day off, because it's a Monday, and most people work on Mondays.

我的朋友想了想說："這傢伙怎麼會在乎，他怎麼知道今天是我的休息日，因為今天是週一，而大多數人都在週一上班。

So, you know, he calls me and says, Ronnie, I need your help.

所以，他打電話給我說，羅尼，我需要你的幫助。

What does that mean, where are you off to today?

這是什麼意思，你今天要去哪裡？

He basically was asking where he's going.

So this is how I come and I help my friends, and I say, oh, let's do this.

我就是這樣來幫助我的朋友們的，我說，哦，讓我們開始吧。

The person wants to know, basically, where are you going, but they're just not going to ask you, hey, where are you going?

基本上，對方想知道你要去哪裡，但他們不會問你，嘿，你要去哪裡？

They're going to say, where are you off to today?

I can say to my friends or my family, say, hey, hey, I'm off to the store, okay?

我可以對我的朋友或家人說，嘿，嘿，我去商店了，好嗎？

We don't say, hey, mom, I'm going to the store.

我們不會說，嘿，媽媽，我要去商店。

In natural language, we say, I'm off to the store, I'm off to the races.

在自然語言中，我們會說 "我要去商店"、"我要去賽馬"。

是以，"關閉 "有許多不同的含義。

The first meaning, maybe you know, because you have, yes, a holiday from work, I got a day off.

第一層意思，也許你知道，因為你有，是的，下班的假期，我有一天假。

Now, to have a day off means that you don't have to work, it's a day to relax or do whatever you like to do.

現在，休息一天意味著你不必工作，這一天你可以放鬆或做任何你喜歡做的事。

You'll also know the expression, I'm off tomorrow.

你也會知道 "我明天休假 "這句話。

If you say, I'm off tomorrow, it doesn't mean where you're going.

如果你說，我明天就走，那並不意味著你要去哪裡。

Again, both of these expressions, we're talking about not working, okay?

同樣，這兩種表達方式，我們都在談論不工作，好嗎？

I'm off tomorrow, yeah, or I got a day off, whoo-hoo, okay?

我明天休息，對，或者我有一天假，嗚呼，好嗎？

Where are you off to, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, it changes the meaning of it.

你要去哪裡，嗯哼，嗯哼，嗯哼，它改變了它的意義。

And you'll notice that this has a noun, and this is going to have a time marker.

你會注意到，這裡有一個名詞，而且會有一個時間標記。

So, I'm off tomorrow, you're talking about your schedule, but I'm off to some place, you're talking about going someplace.

所以，我明天休息，你說的是你的日程安排，但我要去某個地方，你說的是去某個地方。

Another way that we use the word off, let's say you wake up in the morning, you got your coffee ready, and you open the milk, and you poured it, oh, uh-oh, the milk seems a bit strange right now, and you, oh, and you smell the carton or the bag, and you go, oh, oh, wow, that milk is off, or this milk is off, but hold on, was the milk even on at some point?

我們使用 "脫落 "一詞的另一種方式是，比方說，你早上醒來，準備好咖啡，打開牛奶，倒上牛奶，哦，哦，牛奶現在看起來有點奇怪，你，哦，你聞了聞紙盒或包裝袋，然後你說，哦，哦，哇，這牛奶脫落了，或者這牛奶脫落了，但是等等，牛奶在某一時刻是否還開著呢？

It's not like a light in English that we turn on and off.

它不像英語中的燈，我們可以打開或關閉。

If something is off with food, it means it's not fresh, or it's not good to drink or eat.

如果食物有問題，就意味著不新鮮，或者不適合飲用或食用。

Sometimes you open a bottle of wine, I open bottles of wine sometimes, and you smell it, and it's like, oh, oh, I think this wine is off.

有時你會打開一瓶酒，我有時也會打開幾瓶酒，你聞一下，就會覺得，哦，哦，我覺得這酒不對勁兒。

So when we talk about food or drinks, we mean that it's basically just not fresh, and I don't recommend drinking the milk.

是以，當我們說到食品或飲料時，我們的意思是基本上就是不新鮮的，我不建議喝牛奶。

Now, the wine, I mean, you can still drink it.

現在，酒，我是說，你還是可以喝的。

I don't think it'll make you sick, but don't drink the milk, okay?

我覺得不會讓你生病，但別喝牛奶，好嗎？

If you open up a bag of chicken, like, oh, oh, this chicken is off, it means it's not fresh.

如果你打開一袋雞肉，比如，哦，哦，這隻雞不新鮮，那就說明它不新鮮。

Sometimes you're looking at something, and maybe your friend sees the letter B, and you see the letter D, and your friend says, wow, my eyesight must be off, on, off, on, off, because I see a different letter than you.

有時，你在看東西時，也許你的朋友看到的是字母 B，而你看到的是字母 D，然後你的朋友說，哇，我的視力一定有問題，因為我看到的字母和你的不一樣。

So eyesight is you're measuring the distance of things with your eyes, and like, oh, it's off.

所以說，視力就是你用眼睛測量事物的距離，比如，哦，它偏離了。

Maybe your friend's hanging a picture on the wall, and it's crooked, and like, oh, guess what?

也許你的朋友在牆上掛了一幅畫，畫歪了，你猜怎麼著？

It means it's not perfect when we talk about measurement or eyesight.

這意味著，當我們談論測量或視力時，它並不完美。

Something that's, like, it might be crooked, which is the opposite of straight, but when we use it like this, it means, like, it's the wrong calculations, so be careful.

一些東西，比如，它可能是歪的，與直的意思相反，但當我們這樣使用它時，它的意思是，比如，它的計算是錯誤的，所以要小心。

You don't want a crooked picture frame on your thing.

你可不想在你的東西上裝一個歪歪扭扭的相框。

If that happens, what you're going to do is you're going to get one of these things.

如果發生這種情況，你要做的就是拿到這些東西中的一個。

And this makes sure that what you're hanging is straight.

這樣就能確保你掛的東西是直的。

If the bubble is off, not in the middle, it means it's not straight, so you got to be careful with the measurements, here.

如果氣泡偏離，不在中間，就意味著不直，所以測量時一定要小心。

And the last one, one of my favorites, maybe you see some guy and he's smoked a little bit too much crack for Tuesday, or they're just kind of acting strange, you can say, oh, that guy's a little off.

最後一條，也是我最喜歡的一條，也許你看到某個人，他在週二吸了太多的快克，或者他們表現得有點奇怪，你就可以說，哦，那傢伙有點不對勁。

My grandmother used to say to people, she's off with the fairies.

我祖母常對人說，她和仙女一起走了。

But if there were fairies, please come take me away.

但如果真有仙女，請來帶我走吧。

So, if somebody is a little off, it might mean they're a little bit crazy, or yeah, there's something that's not quite right about them.

所以，如果某人有點不對勁，這可能意味著他有點瘋了，或者是的，他有什麼地方不太對勁。

他們不是百分之百，你知道嗎？

哦，你知道，我今天有點不在狀態。

And you know, that's just a really good excuse, so use it.

你知道，這只是一個很好的藉口，所以要善加利用。

There's nothing really wrong with you, you're just a little off, you're feeling a little crazy, you're feeling a little not fresh in the morning, okay?

你真的沒有什麼問題，你只是有點不正常，你感覺有點瘋狂，你感覺早上有點不新鮮，好嗎？
