未來進行式

Today we'll be learning English with one of the funniest celebrity stories that I've heard in a while.

今天我們要學英文，從一個我聽過最有趣的明星故事開始。

情態副詞

We'll listen to Tom Cruise talking about his experience filming Top Gun, where he actually chose to fly in real fighter jets for the movie.

我們要聽湯姆克魯斯分享他拍攝《捍衛戰士》的經驗，他為了電影真的選擇搭乘真正的戰鬥機。

Now, most actors would just use green screens and special effects, but not Tom Cruise.

大多數演員只會用綠幕和特效，但湯姆克魯斯不是。

In fact, I would even say that this man, Tom Cruise, is the real deal.

事實上，我甚至可以說，湯姆克魯斯這個人，就是真實的代表。

That's slang for saying that he is authentic, that he is what he is and is truly skilled at what he does.

這是一種俚語，意思是說他很真實，他就是他自己，而且在做的事情上真的很有本事。

所以他不是個假貨或裝模作樣的人。

Alright, now let's watch him tell this incredible story.

好了，現在我們一起來聽他講這個超讚的故事。

I've heard you in interviews talking about the trials of being in one of those jets.

我聽過你在訪談中說，搭乘那種噴射機的種種挑戰。

When you first start flying, you're gonna.

Yeah, properly, like fill a bag sick, you know.

對啊，超嚴重的，那種會吐滿一整個袋子的那種，你知道。

I flew with the Blue Angels and then I went.

我跟藍天使飛行隊一起飛，然後我去了。

When we were filming, when I made my deal, I said, I've got to fly in the F14.

我們在拍戲的時候，在我談好合約時，我說，我一定要搭F14。

I made it with the studio and I had to be filmed in the F14 live.

我跟製片廠談好，我必須要在F14裡實際拍攝。

And so I had to go through all the ejector seat training and couldn't wait to fly.

所以我必須要接受所有的彈射座椅訓練，而且迫不及待想飛。

So in the morning I said my first pilot that I flew with, his name was Bozo.

所以那天早上，我跟我的第一位飛行員說，他叫Bozo。

And we were up there, we had five minutes of film, we had to coordinate, he and I.

我們在天上，我們有五分鐘的影片，我們必須協調，我和他。

And we had other airplanes coming in on us and there was air combat maneuvers and we very detailed briefings and everything.

我們還有其他飛機朝我們飛來，還有空中纏鬥演習，我們有非常詳細的簡報等等。

So we're going out and we're just right, you know, I don't know, a couple feet off the deck in the desert and we're just sweating.

所以我們出去，我們就在，你知道，我不知道，離地面幾英尺的沙漠裡，我們就在流汗。

Alright, you're going to want to stay until the end to get the rest of the story.

好了，你想要留到最後，聽完剩下的故事。

Now let's analyze the most advanced expressions that we just saw in the first clip.

那我們來分析一下，剛剛在第一個片段裡看到的，最厲害的那些表情。

我有聽你在訪談裡說過，在那些噴射機裡飛行的艱辛。

Trials here means difficulties, like challenging experiences that test your limits.

這裡的 trials 是指困難，像是考驗你極限的挑戰性經驗。

It's not about a court trial, it's about going through something really tough.

不是指法庭上的審判，而是指經歷一些非常艱難的事情。

For example, this winter has been a trial for me physically and emotionally.

舉例來說，這個冬天對我來說，在身體和心理上都是一個考驗。

So Graham describes flying fighter jets as horrific, which means absolutely terrible or extremely unpleasant.

所以 Graham 形容開戰鬥機是 horrific，這表示非常糟糕或極度不愉快。

But when you first start flying you're gonna.

但當你剛開始飛行的時候，你會。

You get sick, you know, but like, properly sick?

你會暈機，你知道，但那種是，真的很暈嗎？

When Graham says properly sick, he's checking with Tom.

Graham 說 properly sick 的時候，他是在跟 Tom 確認。

If he means sick, as in going to throw up.

In English, the expression I'm gonna be sick when said exactly like this means I'm going to vomit.

在英文裡，說 "I'm gonna be sick" 的時候，意思就是我快要吐了。

So when Tom says fill a bag sick, that's his way of confirming exactly what Brent meant.

所以當 Tom 說 fill a bag sick，這就是他確認 Brent 意思的方式。

Filling a bag, like the bag they give you throw on a boat and get seasick.

fill a bag，就像是給你的那個袋子，然後丟到船上然後暈船。

You know, I flew with the Blue Angels and then I went when we were filming, when I made my deal, I said, I've gotta fly in the F14.

你知道嗎，我跟 Blue Angels 一起飛，然後我去了，當我們在拍攝的時候，當我談好條件，我說，我一定要搭 F14 飛。

I made it with the studio and I had to be filmed in the F14.

我跟製片廠談好，我必須要在 F14 裡被拍攝。

The Blue Angels are the US Navy's aerobatic demonstration team.

Blue Angels 是美國海軍的特技飛行表演隊。

And the Navy is the part of the military that operates ships and sea based aircraft.

而海軍是軍隊中負責操作船艦和海基飛機的部分。

Aerobatic means performing stunts, skillful movements in the air like loops and rolls.

特技飛行（Aerobatic）是指在空中表演特技、熟練的動作，像是筋斗和滾轉。

And the F14 is a specific type of fighter jet which was the main plane used in the original Top Gun movie.

而 F14 是一種特定的戰鬥機，也是早期《捍衛戰士》電影裡的主要飛機。

And so I had to go through all the ejector seat training.

所以，我必須要接受所有的彈射座椅訓練。

To eject means to push something out of something else.

eject 的意思就是把某樣東西從別的東西裡推出去。

Like we used to eject CDs from computers and stereos.

就像我們以前會把 CD 從電腦和音響裡退出來一樣。

Now, an ejector seat is a special safety seat in military planes.

現在，彈射座椅是軍機裡一種特殊的安全座椅。

If there's an emergency, the seat can shoot the pilot out of the plane so they can parachute to safety.

如果發生緊急狀況，這個座椅可以把飛行員射出飛機，讓他們能跳傘求生。

And Tom needed to learn how to use the ejector seat before he was allowed to fly in the morning.

而湯姆在早上被允許飛行之前，必須學會怎麼使用彈射座椅。

I said the first pilot that I flew with, his name was Bozo.

我說，我第一次飛行的教官，他叫做 Bozo。

You've probably heard of Bozo the Clown, a famous clown character who appeared on children's TV shows for decades, right?

大家可能聽過 Bozo 小丑，就是那個出現在兒童電視節目幾十年的知名小丑角色，對吧？

Well, in English, this name has actually become associated with clowns in general.

在英文裡，這個名字其實已經跟小丑劃上等號了。

So sometimes people informally use the word bozo to refer to someone who acts silly or foolish.

所以，有時候大家會隨便用 bozo 這個詞來稱呼一個行為傻氣或愚蠢的人。

You think so you can take the average guy off the street and you could do a better job.

你覺得你可以隨便找個路人來，然後他就能做得比他們好。

This Bozo right here could probably be a better congressman than them.

這裡的這個小丑，搞不好還能當個比他們更好的國會議員。

By the way, these advanced expressions that you're Seeing highlighted in blue is you can practice them on our app.

順帶一提，你現在看到的這些藍色標示的進階說法，都可以在我們的App上練習喔。

Honestly, you may ask, why would you not do that?

說真的，你可能會問，為什麼不這麼做呢？

Well, we've discovered that this is a great method to memorize words so you can remember them later when you have conversations in English.

嗯，我們發現這是一個記單字的好方法，這樣你之後在用英文對話時就能記起來。

I mean, I'm sure you've been in situations where you try to speak English, but

我的意思是，我確定你一定遇過那種想說英文，但是

it's like all the words you know have disappeared from your brain.

腦袋裡所有你知道的單字都消失了的情況。

So thousands of learners just like you are using our app to start speaking English naturally with the words they learned from our lessons.

所以，有成千上萬跟你一樣的學習者，正在使用我們的App，用他們從課程學到的單字，自然地開口說英文。

I'll leave the link in the description below so you can click on that right now using your phone and continue watching this lesson from there.

Film here refers to the amount of videotape they had for filming the scenes for the movie.

這裡的影片指的是他們拍攝電影場景所用的錄影帶份量。

They had enough for five minutes of shooting.

還有其他飛機進攻我們，進行了空戰演習，還有非常詳細的簡報等等。

A briefing in this context is a professional meeting where it is given a detailed explanation of what exactly is going to happen, what everyone's job is, what safety rules to follow and things like this.

這裡的簡報是指一場專業會議，會詳細說明接下來會發生什麼事、每個人的任務是什麼、要遵守哪些安全規定等等。

Tom is explaining that these flights were very coordinated.

Tom 正在解釋這些飛行任務都經過非常周密的協調。
