Pretty soon you'll be able to do any multiplication, whether it's 2 times 7.

很快你就可以算任何的乘法了，像是 2 乘以 7

Wow, Matilda, you know how to multiply big numbers.

哇，Matilda，妳好厲害，會算這麼大的數字。

I read this book last year in mathematics at the library.

我去年在圖書館借了一本數學書來看。

Matilda was one of my favorites when I was a kid.

Matilda 小時候我最喜歡的角色之一就是她。

I still remember laying around in my grandparents living room and watching the VHS with my cousins.

我還記得小時候，我都會躺在爺爺奶奶的客廳，跟表兄弟姊妹一起看 VHS 錄影帶。

I think that for me, Matilda's magic were an inspiration when I myself felt powerless as a little kid.

我覺得 Matilda 的魔法對我小時候覺得無力的我來說，是一種啟發。

So we're going to be learning tons of advanced vocabulary and pronunciation with a hilarious scene where Matilda plays a prank on her dad.

所以我們要透過 Matilda 捉弄她爸爸的爆笑場景，學到超多進階的單字和發音。

By the way, you'll be learning this word prank along with hook, wiseacre, ingenuity, swelleda, and

對了，你會學到這個單字 prank，還有 hook、wiseacre、ingenuity、swelleda，

So stick around until the end of this lesson.

And so you don't forget a single one of these.

這樣你就都不會忘記這些單字。

We're saving them all for you over on the RealLife English app.

我們都把這些收錄在 RealLife English app 上了。

And I'll be telling you more about that in just a little bit.

Now let's meet Matilda's bullying father, Harry, played by the incredible comedic actor Danny DeVito.

現在，讓我們來認識一下 Matilda 欺負人的爸爸 Harry，由超讚的 comedic actor Danny DeVito 飾演。

Twenty years ago, we could turn the numbers back by hand.

二十年前，我們可以用手回溯數字。

But the feds like to test the ingenuity of American Businessman.

但聯邦調查局喜歡測試美國商人的 ingenuity。

You run it backwards, the numbers go down.

你把它往反方向開，數字就會下降。

沒有，但大家不是需要好車嗎？

I'm smart, you're dumb, I'm big, you're little, I'm right, you're wrong, and

我很聰明，你很笨，我很大，你很小，我對，你錯，

Matilda, genius that she is, decides to get even with her dad.

Matilda 這個小天才，決定要好好報復她爸爸。

And we're gonna see what happens in just a little bit.

我們馬上就會看到接下來會發生什麼事。

But for now, let's learn all of the advanced vocabulary and pronunciation that we've encountered already.

不過現在，我們先來學學我們剛剛遇到的所有進階單字和發音。

所以在數學裡，times 的意思就是 multiplied by。

So when Ms. Honey says 2 times 9, she's asking 2 multiplied by 9, which equals 18.

所以當 Ms. Honey 說 2 times 9 時，她是在問 2 multiplied by 9，結果是 18。

Now, Ms. Honey is surprised that Matilda answered such a difficult math question so quickly.

Ms. Honey 對 Matilda 這麼快就答出這麼難的數學題感到很 surprised。

This is just a polite way of saying, what did you say?

這只是個 polite way，意思是「你說什麼？」

You'll probably hear it more commonly reduced to simply pardon.

你可能會更常聽到簡化成 pardon。

你可以在現實生活中使用這個。

When you didn't hear someone, clearly you were surprised by what they said, or even when you're a little offended and ask for clarification.

當你沒聽清楚別人在說什麼時，顯然你對他們說的話感到 surprised，或是當你有點被冒犯，想請對方再說一次時。

Also from Benin, 7th century Fula tribe, I believe.

還有來自貝南，七世紀的 Fula tribe，我相信。

It was taken by British soldiers in Benin, but it's from Wakanda.

這是英國阿兵哥在貝南拿走的，但它其實是來自 Wakanda。

And if you're new here, every single week we make new lessons like this one with your favorite movies and TV series so that you can finally understand fast speaking natives without getting lost, without missing the jokes and without subtitles.

就像我們的粉絲 Camilla 一樣，她說她正在發展她的聽力，並且開始理解真實生活中的說話方式和單字連結。

So Harry is a car salesman, but he's not an honest one.

所以 Harry 是一個汽車銷售員，但他不是一個誠實的人。

就像 Matilda 說的，他是一個壞蛋爸爸。

A crook is a dishonest person or criminal, like the wet bandits from the classic Home Alone movies.

壞蛋是指一個不誠實的人或罪犯，就像經典電影《小鬼當家》裡的 wet bandits 一樣。

The dishonest thing that Harry is doing is trying to make the mileage on the car, that is how many miles it's gone in its lifetime, appear less than it actually is.

Harry 做的這件不誠實的事，是想讓汽車的里程數，也就是它開了多久的紀錄，看起來比實際少。

Twenty years ago, we could turn the numbers back by hand, but here, take my hat.

二十年前，我們可以用手把數字調回去，但這裡，拿我的帽子。

So Harry used to turn the numbers back by hand, but

所以 Harry 以前是用手調數字，但是

now he's using a two directional drill, which is a type of power drill that can spin in both directions, but

現在他用的是雙向電鑽，這是一種可以雙向旋轉的電動工具，但是

In forward mode, it drills holes or drives screws into something.

在正轉模式下，它可以鑽孔或將螺絲鎖入物體。

In reverse mode, it can unscrew or like in this scene, spin the meter backwards.

在反轉模式下，它可以卸下螺絲，或像這個場景一樣，將里程錶往回轉。

In other words, Harry is changing the numbers on the counter speedometer to make it look like the car has been driven less than it really has, so he can charge more for it.

換句話說，Harry 正在更改計數器 speedometer 上的數字，讓它看起來像是車子開得比實際少，這樣他就可以賣得更貴。

By hand means manually, not automatically.

用手寫的意思是手動，不是自動。

You can write a letter by hand, or if the dishes are too delicate for the dishwasher, you can wash them by hand.

你可以用手寫信，或者如果盤子太精緻不能放進洗碗機，你也可以用手洗。

By the way, I promise to tell you more about the vocabulary flashcards that we made for this lesson.

對了，我答應過大家，這堂課我們會做一些單字小卡，到時候再跟大家分享。

They'll make you feel almost as powerful as Matilda.

這會讓你感覺自己差不多跟 Matilda 一樣厲害。

So, has it ever happened to you that you get a chance to actually practice your English by having a conversation, whether online or in person.

所以，你有沒有遇過這種情況：有機會跟別人實際練習英文對話，不管是線上還是面對面。

But that word that you know that you've learned simply will not come to you when you most need it.

但你明明學過，心裡知道那個單字，卻在最需要的時候怎麼樣都想不起來。

Trust me, I know how frustrating that feels to be in a conversation and to be frequently pausing because you're forgetting all the useful words you know.

相信我，我懂那種感覺有多讓人沮喪，在對話中頻頻停頓，因為你忘了所有你知道的實用單字。

I've been there myself many times in learning six different languages.

我自己學習六種不同語言的時候，就常常遇到這種情況。

This feeling when you know what you want to say and you just want to be able to express your thoughts as easily as you can in your native language.

那種感覺就是，你知道自己想表達什麼，而且你希望能夠像講母語一樣輕鬆地表達你的想法。

Well, let me tell you the good News is the RealLife English app can help you a lot with this.

好了，讓我告訴你個好消息，RealLife English App 可以幫你很多。

As I mentioned, every single lesson comes with a deck of vocabulary flashcards, and

就像我說的，每一堂課都附有一副單字小卡，

by practicing these for just 10 to 15 minutes a day, you can transfer the new expressions that you learned from your short term memory to your long term memory.

而且每天只要練習個 10 到 15 分鐘，你就可以把學到的新說法，從短期記憶轉移到長期記憶。
