In today's video, we're going to look at vocabulary, and it sort of looks like phrasal verbs, except there's a twist here.

在今天的視頻中，我們將學習詞彙，它有點像短語動詞，只不過這裡有一個轉折。

We're not actually looking at phrasal verbs.

實際上，我們不是在研究短語動詞。

We're looking at nouns with prepositions that have a slightly different meaning when they're put together than the two words.

我們要看的是帶有介詞的名詞，當它們放在一起時，其含義與兩個詞略有不同。

And if you'll notice, all of these combinations use a body part.

如果你注意到，所有這些組合都使用了一個身體部位。

Now, the difference between these and a phrasal verb is that all of these combinations need a separate verb in order to work.

現在，這些組合與短語動詞的區別在於，所有這些組合都需要一個單獨的動詞才能起作用。

So, for example, thumbs down or thumbs up, you're going to need the verb because this by itself is not a verb.

例如，拇指向下或拇指向上，你需要使用動詞，因為這本身不是動詞。

You have the noun, thumb, you have up, you have down, regular preposition.

你有名詞 "拇指"，你有 "向上"，你有 "向下"，常規介詞。

Remember, phrasal verbs, you have a verb and a preposition creating a different meaning.

請記住，短語動詞是由一個動詞和一個介詞構成的，它們具有不同的含義。

Here, we have a noun and a preposition, and we need the extra verb.

在這裡，我們有一個名詞和一個介詞，我們需要額外的動詞。

So, give a thumbs up or give thumbs down.

是以，請豎起大拇指或摁下大拇指。

Basically, when you're giving thumbs up or when you get a thumbs up, so it could be give or get, basically, it's approval.

基本上，當你豎起大拇指或當你得到大拇指時，可以是給予或得到，基本上就是認可。

If you give someone the thumbs up, you're giving them approval, yeah, go ahead.

如果你向某人豎起大拇指，就表示你認可他，是的，請繼續。

If you're getting the thumbs up, it means you've received approval or permission from a higher authority, go ahead.

如果你豎起了大拇指，這就意味著你得到了上級領導的準許或許可，請繼續吧。

Thumbs down, obviously, decline, reject something, right?

大拇指向下，顯然是拒絕，拒絕什麼，對嗎？

So, if you want to start a new project, you go to your manager or your boss, and you say, I have a great idea for this project, can I go ahead with it?

所以，如果你想啟動一個新項目，你就去找你的經理或老闆，然後說，我有一個關於這個項目的好主意，我可以去做嗎？

And then you come out and your co-worker says, oh, how'd it go?

然後你出來，你的同事說，哦，怎麼樣？

He goes, well, he gave me a thumbs down or I got a thumbs down, okay?

他說，好吧，他給了我一個大拇指，或者我得到了一個大拇指，好嗎？

And that's what this means, rejection or approval.

Leg up, so basically, you have or you get, and you'll notice that a lot of these use get and have as their verb.

腿抬起來，所以基本上是 "你有 "或 "你得到"，你會注意到，其中很多都使用 "得到 "和 "有 "作為動詞。

When you have a leg up, it means you have an advantage, you have a bit of an edge on somebody else or something else.

當你有優勢時，就意味著你有優勢，你比別人或其他東西更有優勢。

So, if I have a company and I'm selling a certain product, and another company has joined the market, but I'm already in the process of producing or manufacturing this product, so I have a leg up in terms of sales because I can start next year, whereas the other company will need another year and a half to enter the market.

是以，如果我有一家公司，我正在銷售某種產品，而另一家公司已經加入了市場，但我已經在生產或製造這種產品，那麼我在銷售方面就佔了先機，因為我可以從明年開始，而另一家公司還需要一年半的時間才能進入市場。

So, by having that leg up, I can get my name recognition going, the brand recognition, etc.

是以，有了這條路，我就能獲得知名度和品牌認知度等。

If you let your hair down, it means you're relaxed or you're a little bit wild.

如果你把頭髮放下來，就意味著你放鬆了，或者你有點狂野。

It means you're not too serious, you allow yourself to have a good time, relax, do whatever you want.

這意味著你不太嚴肅，你允許自己享受美好時光，放鬆自己，做任何你想做的事。

So, if you go on vacation, usually you're a very serious person, you go to work, you wear a tie or a shirt or whatever, sorry, and then you're always very, you know, a very conservative, very responsible person.

所以，如果你去度假，通常你是一個非常嚴肅的人，你去工作，你會打領帶或穿襯衫什麼的，對不起，然後你總是非常，你知道，一個非常保守，非常負責任的人。

But then when you go on vacation, you just let your hair down, and you're drinking, and you're dancing, and you're meeting all kinds of fun people and having a good time.

但當你去度假時，你就會放飛自我，喝酒跳舞，結識各種有趣的人，享受美好時光。

所以，你掌握了一些東西，就意味著你掌握了國家的脈搏，或者你掌握了局勢，就意味著你瞭解它。

You understand the situation, you understand the feeling very well.

你很瞭解當時的情況，也很理解那種感覺。

When you put your finger on it, it means you identify.

當你用手指觸摸它時，就意味著你認同了它。

It's very similar, you identify something, so I know what this is, but I can't put my finger on it.

這很相似，你能辨認出一些東西，所以我知道這是什麼，但我無法確定它是什麼。

I can't exactly identify what this thing is, okay?

我不能確定這到底是什麼東西，好嗎？

So, to keep one's eyes on, basically you just watch.

所以，要想盯住一個人，基本上就是看。

Watch carefully, make sure nobody steals it.

So, if I'm in the coffee shop and I want to go use the washroom, I say to the person next to me, can you just keep your eyes on my bag while I'm gone?

所以，如果我在咖啡店裡想去洗手間，我會對旁邊的人說，我走的時候你能幫我看著包嗎？

And this person will just keep an eye on, watch it, make sure nobody does anything to it.

這個人就會盯著它，看著它，確保沒有人對它做任何事情。

If you keep an eye out, so keep eyes on, and notice also I have eyes, and here I have eye.

如果你留心觀察，那麼也要留心觀察，注意我也有眼睛，這裡我也有眼睛。

所以，請密切關注，仔細觀察。

所以，如果你做了壞事，比方說，當你還是個青少年時，你在廣場後面抽你的第一支菸，所以你總是，你知道，保持你的眼睛，確保沒有大人來或沒有警察來。

And then if you get somebody else does something bad, like somebody does drugs, then they keep an eye out for police, so something more specific, okay?

然後，如果有人做了壞事，比如有人吸毒，他們就會留意警察，這樣就更具體了，好嗎？

Not promoting either of those things, just giving you an example in English.

我不是在宣傳這兩件事，只是用英語舉個例子。

所以，還是那句話，保持，抬起頭來。

Now, chin up can be a verb or keep your chin up as a noun.

現在，"下巴抬起來 "可以是動詞，也可以是名詞。

Both of them essentially mean the same thing.

Let's say you had a basketball game and you lost, and your coach tells you, you guys played a great game, you put a good effort, keep your heads up.

比方說，有一場籃球比賽，你們輸了，教練告訴你們，你們打得很好，很努力，抬起頭來。

挺胸抬頭意味著為自己感到驕傲。

Don't feel dejected, don't feel sad, don't feel upset about whatever happened.

抬起你的下巴，驕傲點，好嗎？

Now, heads up, again, notice that I have the head with an S, heads.

現在，抬起頭來，再次注意，我的頭頂上有一個 "S"，即 "頭"。

It doesn't mean you have more than one head.

Usually when somebody shouts heads up, and usually, heads up, right, like they do it very loud, it means that something is flying in the air, everybody should look up to see where it is, and just, it's a warning.

通常，當有人喊 "抬頭 "時，通常是 "抬頭"，對，就像他們喊得很大聲一樣，這意味著有東西在空中飛，每個人都應該抬頭看看它在哪裡，這只是一個警告。

Now, realistically, if something is flying in the air, and somebody yells heads up, most people automatically go down because they know something is in the air.

現實生活中，如果有東西在空中飛行，有人大喊 "抬頭"，大多數人都會自動趴下，因為他們知道空中有東西。

If you put heads up, then you might get hit in the head, so it's a little bit risky.

如果你把頭抬起來，那麼你可能會被擊中頭部，所以這有點冒險。

It's just a warning shout, and you're shouting it to many people, that's why many heads.

這只是一個警告性的呼喊，你在向很多人呼喊，所以才會有很多人點頭。

Head around, in this case, again, it could be a verb, head around the building means go around the building, but if you're talking about, as a noun, oh, sorry, I got the wrong colour here, you try to get your head around something.

Head around，在這種情況下，也可以是動詞，head around the building 的意思是繞著大樓走，但如果你說的是名詞，哦，對不起，我弄錯顏色了，你試著繞著什麼東西走。

It means you have a problem, or something that is very difficult to understand, you're trying to get your head around.

這意味著你遇到了問題，或者遇到了很難理解的事情，你正試圖理清頭緒。

另一個可以使用的動詞是包裹。

Wrap, so here's a puzzle, somebody did something that just doesn't make any sense, and you're just, you know, you're just trying to get your head around it, like, why did this person do that?

這是個謎題，有人做了一件毫無意義的事，而你只是，你知道，你只是想弄明白它，比如，這個人為什麼要這麼做？

It doesn't make sense, so you're trying to understand.

Now, again, hand out could be a verb, the teacher hands out some assignment, but if somebody has their hand out, if someone has their hand out, it means they're asking for help, or they're asking for money, or they're asking for charity, right?

再說一遍，"伸出手 "可以是動詞，老師會佈置一些作業，但如果有人伸出手，如果有人伸出手，就意味著他們在尋求幫助，或者他們在要錢，或者他們在請求施捨，對嗎？

So that's what to have one's hand out means to ask for something.

To have a stomach for something means to be able to tolerate it, okay?

對某種事物有胃口，就意味著能夠忍受它，明白嗎？

If you don't have the stomach for high-risk maneuvers, and like, let's say you're driving and you want to make some really fast turns, or things like that, some people don't have the stomach for it.

如果你不喜歡高風險動作，比方說，你在開車時想要快速轉彎，或者類似的動作，有些人就不喜歡。

這意味著他們太害怕了，或者他們受不了，或者他們生病了，或者其他什麼原因。

If you do have the stomach for something, it means you're willing to try to do it, okay?

如果你有勇氣去做一件事，就意味著你願意嘗試去做，好嗎？

Back up, to have your back up, or to have your back up against, like against the wall, for example, okay?

背靠背，就是背靠著，或者背靠著，比如靠著牆，明白嗎？

So, again, back up could be a verb, to back up, or to back up your computer, but here, we're talking about your actual back, right?

同樣，"備份 "可以是一個動詞，可以是備份，也可以是備份你的電腦，但在這裡，我們說的是你真正的背部，對嗎？

So if you have your back up, now, think of a cat.

所以，如果你有後備力量，現在就想想貓吧。

When a cat thinks it's about to be attacked, its back goes up, and it gets into, like, this little curve, right?

當貓覺得自己要被攻擊時，它的背就會挺起來，就像這個小弧度，對嗎？

If you have your back up, it means you're defensive, you're ready to fight.

如果你有後備力量，就意味著你是防守型的，你已經做好了戰鬥準備。

You think someone is attacking you, so you get very defensive.

你認為有人在攻擊你，所以你會變得非常自衛。

If you have your back up against something, it means also you're in a very difficult position, you don't have options, right?

如果你背靠著什麼東西，這也意味著你處於非常困難的境地，你沒有選擇，對嗎？

And you think that you're... somebody's trying to attack you as well.

你認為你......有人也想攻擊你。

So, if you have your back up against the wall, you don't really have any options, and you're probably going to attack at some point, because that's your only option.

所以，如果你背靠著牆，你真的沒有任何選擇，你可能會在某些時候發動攻擊，因為這是你唯一的選擇。

Now, so all of these are nouns with prepositions.

現在，所有這些都是帶介詞的名詞。

這個，是一個實際的短語動詞。

This is a verb, so muscle, you have muscles all over your body.

這是一個動詞，所以肌肉，你全身都是肌肉。

To muscle through means to force your way through something.

強行通過的意思是強行通過某件事情。

So, if a door is locked, you just, you know, use a little bit of muscle power and you muscle through the door.

所以，如果一扇門被鎖住了，你只需要，你知道，用一點肌肉力量，你就能用肌肉穿過這扇門。

So, for example, if you're at the office, you want to get something done, you want your boss to sign something, you just muscle it through to his desk, he signs it, you're off.

是以，舉個例子，如果你在辦公室，你想完成一件事，你想讓你的老闆籤個字，你只需把文件送到他的辦公桌上，他簽了字，你就可以下班了。
