First, we will watch the clip with the subtitles.

首先，我們會跟著字幕一起看影片。

接著你會學到關鍵的單字和發音。

And finally, at the end, you'll test your comprehension by by watching the entire scene one last time.

最後，在課程結束時，你會再看一次整個場景來測驗你的理解力。

And I'll ask you some quiz questions to see how well you've understood everything.

我還會問你一些測驗題，看看你對內容的理解程度。

所以，我們現在就來看第一個片段吧。

I don't know what else I can do, because if I do something right, it's unacknowledged.

我不知道還能做什麼，因為如果我做得對，卻未被認可。

But if I do something wrong, she is vicious.

但如果我做錯了什麼，她就很惡毒。

You know, I'm just saying that I would just like a little credit for the fact that I'm killing myself trying.

What is it that you want me to say to you, huh?

And every word she uses perfectly captures that feeling of being trapped in a toxic work situation.

她說的每個詞都完美捕捉了那種被困在有毒的工作環境裡的感覺。

Let's break down these expressions that native speakers reach for when they're at their breaking point.

我們來拆解一下母語人士在到達崩潰點時會用的這些表達方式。

Because if I do something right, it's unacknowledged.

因為如果我做得對，卻未被認可。

When something goes unacknowledged, it's like it never happened.

當事情未被認可時，就好像它從未發生過一樣。

Nobody says good job or gives you credit.

沒有人說做得好，或給你肯定。

It's the opposite of being acknowledged or appreciated.

這跟被認可或被讚賞是完全相反的。

Check out this example of someone getting their hard work acknowledged.

來看看這個例子，有人努力的成果被認可了。

It's nice for my mother when I mention in the papers.

我在報紙上提到我媽媽時，她會很高興。

但如果我做錯事，她就很惡毒。

Many learners mistakenly pronounce the C here as an S sound.

很多學習者會把這裡的 C 誤唸成 S 的發音。

Make sure you say vicious with a clear sh sound.

請確保你把 vicious 唸成清晰的 sh 音。

Vicious means extremely cruel or aggressive.

Vicious 的意思是極度殘酷或具攻擊性。

A vicious person doesn't just criticize, they attack you personally.

一個惡毒的人不只是批評，他們還會人身攻擊你。

So when Andy says Miranda is vicious, she's saying Miranda insults her.

所以當 Andy 說 Miranda 惡毒時，她是在說 Miranda 侮辱她。

I think the politically correct term is ocularly impaired.

我認為政治正確的說法是「視力受損」。

他們很惡毒，而且他們很危險。

Now let's practice some connected speech.

This is how natives cut, rejuice and morph words together when they speak.

母語人士說話時，就是這樣把單字連在一起、簡化、融合的。

Learning it helps you sound more natural.

And it makes it much easier to understand Fast speaking natives.

而且這樣一來，要聽懂母語人士講話就容易多了。

The words doesn't and even link together while the T sound gets dropped.

doesn't 和 even 這兩個字連在一起，T 的音也被省略了。
