情態副詞

My name is Helly R. I'm making this video roughly two hours before it will be shown to me.

我是 Helly R。這支影片大概會在播出前兩小時錄製。

I have, of my own free accord, elected to undergo the procedure colloquially known as severance.

我是自願選擇接受這個俗稱「離職」的程序的。

By the end of today's fun English lesson, you're going to learn a ton of formal advanced expressions with Apple TV's hit new series, Severance.

在今天有趣的英文課結束時，你將會透過 Apple TV 的熱門新影集《Severance》學到好多正式的進階表達。

So this series takes the concept of work life balance to the extreme.

這部影集把工作與生活平衡的概念發揮到了極致。

Work life balance is how we manage our time and energy between our work responsibilities and the rest of our life in a way that reduces stress and allows for well being, rest and enjoyment of both.

工作與生活平衡是我們如何在工作職責和生活其他部分之間管理時間和精力，以減輕壓力並讓我們能好好休息、享受生活。

So in the show, the characters literally have the parts of their brain dedicated to work and their personal life that severed or cut and divided.

在劇中，角色的腦部專門處理工作和個人生活的區域，真的被切開、分開了。

When they're at work, they have no idea about their personal life, and when they get back home, they have no idea about what happened at work.

他們在工作時，對個人生活毫無印象；回到家時，對工作時發生的事也一無所知。

And just in case you're new to the show, we've chosen a couple of scenes that will help you to get to know it, but without any spoilers.

萬一你對這部影集還不熟，我們挑選了幾個場景，希望能幫助你認識它，而且不會有劇透。

In the first scene of the series, Helly wakes up locked in a strange conference room and suffering from memory loss.

在影集的開頭，Helly 醒來時發現自己被鎖在一個奇怪的會議室裡，而且有失憶的狀況。

Let's see how she comes to her senses or starts thinking clearly again after a period of confusion.

讓我們來看看她在混亂過後，是如何恢復意識或重新開始清晰思考的。

I wonder if you'd mind taking a brief survey.

不知道你是否介意填寫一份簡短的問卷。

I know you're sleepy, but I just bet it'll make you feel right as rain.

我知道你很睏，但我敢打賭這會讓你精神百倍。

I'd be just thrilled to chat once we've run the survey.

If you can't answer the question, feel free to say unknown.

如果問題你答不出來，就說不知道也沒關係。

In which US state or territory were you born?

Please name any US state or territory that comes to mind.

請說出任何你想到的美國州或領地。

Egan 先生最喜歡的早餐是什麼？

And as a reminder, this is the final question to the best of your memory.

提醒一下，這是憑你記憶的最後一題。

What is or was the color of your mother's eyes?

你媽媽的眼睛是什麼顏色，或曾經是什麼顏色？

I can sense that the questions made you feel afraid or disoriented.

我感覺到這些問題讓你感到害怕或不知所措。

Well, the good news is you're at an orientation.

嗯，好消息是，你現在正在參加一個迎新會。

You see, you have been hired to a position on the severed floor of Lumen Industries.

你看，你被聘用到 Lumen Industries 的「斷離樓層」的職位。

I understand your confused about the severance procedure.

我明白你對斷離程序感到困惑。

Before we hop on that, let's chat about something I bet you have heard of.

在我們深入探討之前，我們先聊聊一個你一定聽過的東西。

Okay, so we hear Mark Scout's voice speaking to Heli via the intercom.

好的，所以我們聽到 Mark Scout 透過對講機跟 Heli 說話。

After his first question, he decides to start over.

在他問了第一個問題後，他決定重新開始。

不知道你介不介意填個簡短的問卷。

So to get ahead of yourself means saying something too soon.

所以「太心急」的意思就是太早說話了。

For example, imagine you are at a party and start a conversation with someone, but a few minutes later you realize you forgot to introduce yourself.

舉個例子，想像你在派對上跟某人開始哈拉，但幾分鐘後你才發現你忘了自我介紹。

You might say, sorry, I got ahead of myself.

你可能會說，對不起，我太心急了。

He starts with hello to greet Heli, which sounds a bit formal.

他一開始跟 Heli 打招呼時說了 hello，聽起來有點正式。

Then to make things feel more relaxed, he switches to hi there.

接著為了讓氣氛更輕鬆，他換成了 hi there。

A much more casual, friendly way to say hello.

一種更隨意、更友善的打招呼方式。

So he's politely asking Helly to take a brief or short survey.

所以他很有禮貌地請 Helly 填一份簡短或短的問卷。

Basically, a list of questions he needs to go through.

基本上，就是他需要走一遍的問題清單。

The phrase I wonder if you'd mind is a polite way to make a request.

「不知道你介不介意」這句話是用來提出請求的委婉說法。

Now, I know you're sleepy, but I just bet it'll make you feel right as rain.

好了，我知道你很睏，但我敢打賭這會讓你感覺煥然一新。

煥然一新就是完全沒問題的意思。

Mark is trying to convince Heli that taking the survey will help her feel better.

Mark 試圖說服 Heli 參加問卷調查，讓她感覺更好。

我們完成問卷調查後，我很樂意跟妳聊聊。

What do you think he means when he says he'd be thrilled here?

你覺得他說「我很樂意」是什麼意思？

He's saying he would feel excited and would really look forward to chatting.

他是說他會感到很興奮，而且非常期待哈拉。
