Well, today we're talking about social media and how much we use it.

好了，今天我們來談談社交媒體以及我們對它的使用程度。

Well, I use social media all the time, so I have lots of things to say.

我一直在使用社交媒體，所以我有很多話要說。

OK, Georgie, so you said you use social media a lot.

喬吉，你說你經常使用社交媒體。

Well, the reason I like it is actually the reason I dislike it as well.

我喜歡它的原因其實也是我不喜歡它的原因。

It can be very entertaining, especially TikTok.

它可以非常有趣，尤其是 TikTok。

For example, yeah, the videos I watch are very fun and entertaining.

例如，是的，我觀看的視頻非常有趣和好玩。

I like that about it, but it's also something I hate because it can be very addictive and you can waste a lot of time watching TikTok videos.

我喜歡它的這一點，但也討厭它，因為它會讓人上癮，你會在觀看 TikTok 視頻時浪費很多時間。

I try not to, to be honest, because I'm too old.

老實說，我儘量不去，因為我太老了。

觀看 TikTok 視頻永遠不會嫌老。

But I always think I'm using it too much.

Do you think you use social media too much, Georgie?

你覺得你使用社交媒體太多了嗎，喬吉？

I think definitely I use social media too much.

我想肯定是我使用社交媒體太多了。

OK, Georgie, you used the word definitely.

好吧，喬吉，你用了 "肯定 "這個詞。

Yes, well, definitely means that something is certainly the case.

是的，好吧，這肯定意味著有些事情是肯定存在的。

If you definitely do something, there is no doubt that you did it.

如果你肯定做了某件事情，那就毫無疑問是你做的。

那麼，您使用社交媒體的目的是什麼？

You said you watch videos, but anything else?

你說你會看視頻，還有別的嗎？

The main reason I think is to stay in touch with my friends.

我認為主要原因是與朋友保持聯繫。

This was definitely true when I lived in Spain.

我在西班牙生活時，情況確實如此。

It was a good way for me to see what my friends in England were doing.

這對我來說是一個很好的途徑，可以瞭解我在英國的朋友們在做什麼。

I also posted things myself, so it was a way to show everyone else what I was doing as well.

我自己也會發布一些東西，所以這也是向其他人展示我在做什麼的一種方式。

尼爾，你使用社交媒體做什麼？

Well, I like messaging apps mainly and group chat so that I can catch up with friends who live far away that I can't actually see in person.

我主要喜歡消息應用程序和群聊，這樣我就能和那些住得很遠卻不能見面的朋友敘敘舊。

Neil, you just used the verb catch up with.

尼爾，你剛才用了 "趕上 "這個動詞。

Yes, so if you catch up with someone, it means you speak to them, you contact them and you find out what they've been doing in their life.

是的，如果你和某人敘舊，就意味著你和他說話，和他聯繫，瞭解他最近的生活。

Find out what activities or what changes in their lives have happened.

瞭解他們開展了哪些活動或生活中發生了哪些變化。

Yes, when you catch up with someone, it brings you up to date with their life and what they've been doing since you last saw them.

是的，當你與某人敘舊時，你會了解到他的最新生活，以及自上次見面以來他都在做些什麼。

So Georgie, you said you think you use your phone too much for social media.

喬吉，你說你覺得你的手機在社交媒體上用得太多了。

Do you have any plans to use your phone less?

I would love to use my phone less, but if I'm being realistic, I think I will probably continue using my phone in the same way.

我很想少用手機，但如果現實一點，我想我可能會繼續以同樣的方式使用手機。

It's just too difficult to reduce the screen time.

But maybe in the future I will put those limits that your phone can put to help me reduce my screen time.

不過，也許將來我會設置那些手機可以設置的限制，幫助我減少螢幕時間。

Georgie, you used words like maybe and probably and we use these when we're not sure or not certain if we are going to do something.

喬吉，你用了 "也許 "和 "可能 "這樣的詞，當我們不確定或不確定是否要做某件事時，我們就會用到這些詞。

Yes, so maybe I will use my phone less, maybe I will continue using my phone in the same way.

是的，也許我會減少使用手機，也許我會繼續以同樣的方式使用手機。

Probably I will continue using my phone in the same way.

我可能會繼續以同樣的方式使用我的手機。

Well Georgie, it sounds like you use your phone a lot.

喬吉，聽起來你經常使用手機。

Maybe you should have a break or just relax a bit.

也許你應該休息一下，或者放鬆一下。

Let's quickly recap the words and phrases we learned during the conversation.

讓我們快速回顧一下我們在對話中學到的單詞和短語。

We had maybe, which we use to talk about something that is not certain.

我們有 "也許"，用來形容不確定的事情。

Definitely, which we use to say something is certain.

肯定，我們用它來表示某事是確定的。

And catch up with, talking to someone you haven't seen for a long time.

和許久未見的人敘敘舊，聊聊天。
