Uh, I come in peace, and I'm super excited to join you.

嗯，我帶著和平而來，很高興能加入你們。

嗯，我很有創意、很勤奮、而且是 shredded。

Aww, yeah, today we're learning English with Disney Pixar's ELIO.

耶，今天我們要跟迪士尼皮克斯的ELIO一起學英文囉。

ELIO is a lonely, misunderstood child who longs to meet aliens and explore new worlds.

ELIO是個孤單、不被理解的孩子，他渴望遇見外星人並探索新世界。

I love all things space, and I hope you do.

我超愛太空的一切，希望你們也是。

I'm Xenia, your real-life English fluency coach.

我是Xenia，你的真人英語流利教練。

After sending the communication we just saw, his wish comes true.

傳送了我們剛才看到的訊息後，他的願望成真了。

In ELIO's message, we heard him say, "I come in peace." This is Elio Solis of the planet Earth.

在ELIO的訊息裡，我們聽到他說：「我帶著和平而來。」我是地球的Elio Solis。

You can hear this all the time in alien movies.

你可以在外星人電影裡常常聽到這句話。

It's a way to announce you're friendly and you have no violent intentions, like in this example from Toy Story.

這是一種宣告你很友善、沒有暴力意圖的方式，就像《玩具總動員》裡的例子一樣。

In his message, ELIO described himself as creative, hardworking, and shredded.

ELIO 在他的訊息中形容自己有創意、勤奮且 shredded。

What do you think "shredded" means in this context?

你覺得在這裡 "shredded" 的意思是？

Right, someone who is shredded might look like this.

沒錯，shredded 的人看起來可能會是這樣。

Keep in mind this is slang, and it's funny because ELIO is clearly exaggerating here.

要記得這是俚語，ELIO 誇張的說法很有趣。

他是個小孩，又不是健美運動員。

In today's scene, after being abducted, ELIO meets Gordon and soon realizes he is Kindred Spirit, that's someone who shares your personality and interests so you connect with them instantly.

在今天的這段劇情裡，ELIO 被綁架後遇到了 Gordon，很快就發現他是 Kindred Spirit，也就是跟你個性、興趣都一樣，能立刻產生連結的人。

In the movie, ELIO gets a chance to build a real connection with aliens.

在電影裡，ELIO 有機會跟外星人建立真正的連結。

They don't speak English, but they're interacting through a translation device.

他們不會說英語，但透過翻譯裝置在溝通。

Have you ever been in a situation where you get the opportunity to speak English, but

你有沒有遇過這種情況，有機會說英語，

a word you know you've learned simply won't come to you?

但一個你明明學過的單字，就是想不起來？

I've learned English and German myself, so I know how frustrating that is.

我自己學過英語和德語，所以我知道那有多讓人沮喪。

That's why our team created an app that uses scientific technology to solve this problem.

這就是為什麼我們的團隊開發了一個運用科技的 App 來解決這個問題。

每天只要用 10-15 分鐘，就能讓像 "shredded" 和 "Kindred Spirit" 這種困難的道地說法，像強力膠一樣牢牢記在腦裡。

Give it a try today, just click the link below.

今天就來試試看吧，點擊下方的連結就好。

I was just swaddling you because you seemed scared.

我只是因為你看起來很害怕，所以才把你包起來。

That's what my mom does when I get scared.

我害怕的時候，我媽都會這樣做。

我只是把你包起來，因為你好像有點害怕。

To swaddle means to wrap someone, usually a baby, tightly in cloth or blankets to make them feel warm and safe.

「包起來」的意思是把某人，通常是嬰兒，用布或毯子緊緊地包裹起來，讓他們感覺溫暖和安全。

For example, parents swaddle newborns like this.

接著，ELIO 說 Gordon 是個小屁孩。

So here, little isn't referring to Gordon's size.

所以在這裡，「小」指的不是 Gordon 的體型。

For example, a mother might tell her child, "You're still too little to watch that scary movie." Now here's an interesting pattern: be rude about it.

舉例來說，媽媽可能會跟小孩說：「你年紀還太小，不能看那部恐怖電影。」現在這裡有個有趣的句型：be rude about it。

When you use be + adjective + about it, you're describing someone's attitude or behavior toward something.

當你使用 be + 形容詞 + about it，你是在描述某人對某件事的態度或行為。

Don't be weird about it means don't act strange regarding the situation.

Don't be weird about it 的意思是，針對這個情況，不要表現得很奇怪。

Don't be dramatic about it means don't overreact.

Don't be dramatic about it 的意思是，不要反應過度。

And finally, you don't have to be mean about it means you could express that more nicely.

最後，you don't have to be mean about it 的意思是，你可以更委婉地表達。

Might have been difficult to understand Gordon's response without subtitles because of connected speech.

如果沒有字幕，你可能很難聽懂 Gordon 的回應，因為有連音。

That's how natives cut reduce and link their words and fluent speech.

這就是母語人士在流暢說話時，如何省略、連結他們的單字。

Wow, he almost said that as if it were just a couple words.

哇，他講得好像那只是幾個字一樣。

First off, in words like can't, won't, and don't, we often do not pronounce the T.

首先，在 can't、won't、don't 這類單字裡，我們通常不會發 T 的音。

Next, we sometimes drop the H sound in words like half and to, usually reduces to ta.

接著，我們有時候會省略 half 和 to 裡的 H 音，通常會簡化成 ta。

The two words link together and sound like after.

這兩個字連在一起聽起來像 after。

The T in about is between two vowel sounds, so it becomes a tap T, which sounds like a soft d sound.

about 中的 T 在兩個母音之間，所以會變成一個彈音 T，聽起來像輕柔的 d 音。
