I can just tell it's going to get in my way.

To start, I had a lot of questions about the basics.

首先，我有很多關於基礎知識的問題。

Okay, so take this, bring it down, trap it with your fingers, and then go under.

好了，拿著這個，把它放下來，用手指夾住，然後往下走。

Well, first you have to comb it out, just like you did for me.

嗯，首先你得把它梳出來，就像你為我做的那樣。

Why did I use a phrasal verb, comb out, instead of just the verb comb?

為什麼我用的是短語動詞 "梳理"，而不是動詞 "梳理"？

Comb means simply to pull a comb through hair.

梳子的意思很簡單，就是用梳子梳理頭髮。

Comb out, the definition is a little more specific.

It means to make hair neat and smooth with a comb.

意思是用梳子將頭髮梳得整齊光滑。

So you can comb your hair and do a bad job, but if you've combed it out, you've gotten rid of all of the tangles.

所以，你可以把頭髮梳得很糟糕，但如果你已經把它梳理好了，你就已經把所有打結的頭髮都弄掉了。

Also, the verb comb can relate to things other than hair.

此外，動詞梳子還可以與頭髮以外的事物相關。

For example, they're combing the park where she thinks she lost her engagement ring.

例如，他們在她認為丟失訂婚戒指的公園裡尋找。

This means to search or examine thoroughly.

Do you do like the top layer and then the layer underneath and then the layer underneath?

你是先做上面一層，然後再做下面一層，最後再做下面一層嗎？

我對如何處理後腦勺的這些頭髮感到害怕。

I was pretty sure I should divide it into layers to cut each layer separately.

我很確定應該把它抽成幾層，每層分別切。

This is different than sections, which can mean to divide something in any way.

這與 "分割 "不同，"分割 "的意思是以任何方式分割東西。

Layer is a section that goes one on top of the other.

Okay, I don't even know what that means, but we shall see.

好吧，我甚至不知道那是什麼意思，不過我們走著瞧吧。

Okay, so also how wide of a swath am I cutting at any given time?

好吧，那麼在任何時候，我的切割範圍有多大？

At this point, I think Christina can hardly believe how many questions I have.

此時此刻，我想克里斯蒂娜幾乎不敢相信我有這麼多問題。

它不僅用於頭髮，還用於土地。

Corn and soy fields seem to take up vast swaths of Indiana's land across the state.

玉米和大豆田似乎佔據了印第安納州的大片土地。

Here, we're not talking about hair or land.

在這裡，我們談論的不是頭髮或土地。

We're talking about AI and how it's poised to take over large swaths of human activity, simply meaning huge sections.  It's poised to take over large swaths of human activity, and in doing so, erode our individual and shared humanity.

我們正在討論人工智能，以及它如何準備接管人類的大量活動，簡單地說，就是大片大片的活動。  它準備接管人類的大部分活動，並以此侵蝕我們個體和共同的人性。

How wide of a swath am I cutting at any given time?

在任何時候，我都能在多大範圍內切割？

Oh, that's wider than I would have thought.

Okay, so I do the comb, and then I trap it with my finger, and then I stick the comb between my legs, and then I cut about an inch.

好的，我先用梳子梳，然後用手指夾住，再把梳子伸到兩腿之間，然後剪掉一英寸。

It's not the straightest line I've ever cut.

I just said, it's not the straightest line I've ever cut.

我只是說，這不是我剪過的最直的線。

You don't want to hear that from your hairdresser.

你不會想從你的理髮師那裡聽到這些的。

But to be fair, a bunch of family came out on the deck where we were and were watching, so there was a lot of pressure.

但公平地說，有很多家人來到我們所在的甲板上觀看，所以壓力很大。

I was not happy with how my first snip went.

我對第一次剪輯的結果並不滿意。

我的丈夫戴維很快補充了他自己的看法。

I can tell I'm going to be able to clean it up when I'm done.  Clean it up.

Go back and take care of the little issues after the larger work is done.

在大工程完成後，再回頭處理小問題。

If you use the word generous with an amount, that means you actually went over the amount.

如果你用 "慷慨 "這個詞來形容某個數額，那就意味著你實際上超出了這個數額。
