現在進行式

Today, I'm gonna talk about words 
commonly used in British English

今天要來介紹英式英文的常用語！

Many people , just like me, like the UK
and their accent

很多人可能跟我一樣很喜歡英國，也超愛英國腔

I believe that we are less familiar to British English

我相信大家對於英式英文是比較陌生的

There are many words that are used only in British English

英式英文當中，有很多字是他們獨特擁有的

If you heared them suddenly in a movie or a TV series

可能在看電影的時候或是影集的時候突然遇到

Next week, a movie I've been waiting for a long time
will be released

下禮拜就有一部我期待已久的電影要上映

也就是 Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

The main character, Newt Scamander in it
starred by Eddie Redmayne

其中 Eddie Redmayne 所飾演的男主角

the words I think are commonly used in British English

我個人認為常聽到的英式英文用語入門班！

And don't forget to watch until the end, there is a surprise!

那記得要看到最後喔，會有一個小驚喜！

Even though some words in British English are very unique

雖然英式英文有些字是非常獨特的

there are similar words in American English

不過相對的在美式英文也有類似的字

"Bloody" can be used before almost every word

Bloody 幾乎可以加在任何字的前面

And the similar word in American English is "freaking"

那比較接近的美式用法是 freaking

for the new Fantastic Beasts movie to come out!

「怪獸與牠們的產地」電影的上映！

When you feel something is strange, weird

I think the word is really similar to the verb "dodge"
which means "閃躲"

這個字我覺得很像動詞 dodge 也就是閃躲

so there's a easy way to remember this word

it means that there are something strange

In American English, we can say "suspicious"

I think I saw a lot of dodgy people in the trailer

我在預告片裡好像看到很多可疑奇怪的人

我會好好盯著他們的一舉一動的

"Brilliant" is also commonly used in American English

Brilliant 這個字雖然在美式也很常聽見

but it's much more popular in British English

不過卻是英式英文當中非常愛用的字

Usually we'll use it when we heard something great 
as a response

通常會使用在聽到好消息之後的回應當中

The Fantastic Beasts movie is having its premiere

「怪獸與牠們的產地」電影的首映會

而 smack 若當作動詞則是有打的意思

so "gobsmacked" is like when you're surprised

所以 gobsmacked 就是當你很吃驚的時候

你就會做這個像是在「打嘴巴的動作」

在美式英文，如果我們很吃驚的話

就可以用 shocked 或者是 astonished

如果鄧不利多出現在這部新電影裡的話

if Dumbledore were to appear in the new movie

In British English, "wicked" means very cool

在英式中，wicked 的意思是非常酷，很帥的意思

but in American English, it means bad and evil

不過在美式，則是不好，邪惡的意思

So if you want to find a similar word 
in American English, you can use "cool"

所以如果想在美式表達類似的意思可以用 cool

all those wicked spells and enchantments in the movie!

This adjective means you're extremely tired

這個形容詞代表你「精疲力盡，累到不行」

In American English, we'll say "exhausted"

我要來一場哈利波特電影馬拉松

在英式裡，可以用 gutted 來形容「悲痛欲絕」

and in American English we can use "devastated"

我買不到「怪獸與牠們的產地」的電影票

I couldn't get the tickets for the Fantastic Beasts

我們在乾杯的時候都可以講 cheers

we can use "cheers" before we drink an alcoholic drink

cheers 大部分時候是代表謝謝，有時會代表再見

在美式英文裡，cheers 通常只會有乾杯的意思喔

幫我弄到「怪獸與牠們的產地」的電影票

in American English, "cheers" can only be used 
before you drink alcohol

In British English, if you wanted to use a word

The similar word in American English is "wow"

他剛剛真的是從皮箱裡爬出來的嗎？

我們會用 mate 來去叫你的好麻吉

在美式英文當中如果你要稱呼一位好友

In American English, if you want to call a friend

It is one of the most commonly used British words

你就可以用這個字來說你認為他在亂講

那在美式當中就等同於說 nonsense

you can use this word to show that you think 
the person is saying something stupid

你對這個電影新系列沒有興趣？

In American English, it's like "nonsense"

You're not interested in the new franchise?
