Hello, everyone, and welcome back to English with Lucy.

哈囉，各位，歡迎回到 English with Lucy。

You guys have requested it.

這是你們要的。

I've had so many requests for another slang,

好多人都要我再做一集俚語的教學

British slang video, so I thought I'd cover

英國俚語的影片，所以我想我的影片會包括

British slang verbs and also

英國的動詞俚語

some slang phrasal verbs as well.

還有一些片語動詞俚語。

Really, really useful.

真的真的很好用。

Before we get started, this video is sponsored

在我們開始之前，這部影片是由

by the Lingoda Language Marathon.

Lingoda 的語言馬拉松活動贊助。

It's an amazing opportunity,

這是個很棒的機會

but I'm not going to talk about it now.

但我不會現在講這個。

I'm going to talk about it at the end.

我要在結尾再講。

So you can click to the time that you see on your screen now

所以你可以拉到螢幕上的這個時間標記

and I will have all the information for you.

我會告訴你所有相關資訊。

Basically, a specific number of you will be

基本上，有一部份的你們將能

able to do three months of daily English classes.

在 3 個月期間每天上 1 堂英文課。

It's 567 euros, but if you complete the whole marathon,

總共是 567 歐元，但如果你完成整個馬拉松課程

you get all of your money back,

就能拿回所有的費用

567 euros refunded back to you.

567 歐元全都會歸還給你。

So click on the timestamp on the screen

所以拉到螢幕上這個時間標記

to find out more information,

去了解更多資訊

or just wait til the end of the video.

或是繼續觀看直到影片結尾。

Let's get started.

我們開始吧！

Or should I say let's crack on.

或是我應該說，我們趕快繼續。

We'll talk about that one in a minute.

1 分鐘之後我們會講到那個。

So, lots of lovely slang, predominantly British,

所以，有許多可愛的俚語，主要是英國

although you will find some in Australia, for example,

雖然你也會在其他地方聽到，例如澳洲

and maybe the United States,

或者美國

but most of them are more used in the UK.

但大多數還是英國比較常用。

But in the UK, you will definitely need to understand

但在英國，你就必須了解

these words if you're going to integrate with natives.

這些字的意思，如果你要更像個本地人的話。

I'm also going to chuck in, include,

我也會加入很多，包括這個

lots of extra bonus British slang words.

額外的英國俚語。

Oh my God, that's hard to say.

我的天啊，真繞口。

And I will explain them as I go along.

我在進行課程的同時也會解釋。

The first one is 'to fancy',

第一個是「to fancy」。

and I have mentioned this one before,

這一個我之前就有提過了

but it's so important that I'm going to mention it again.

但它真的太重要以至於我要再一次提到它。

You need to know this verb.

你必須知道這個動詞。

You need to know it, we use it all the time.

你必須知道，我們很常用。

It has two meanings,

這有 2 種意思

it can mean to be romantically interested in somebody,

它可以代表喜愛某人

so an example could be, I fancied Will for ages

要舉個例子的話，我喜歡 Will 好些年了

and I was gobsmacked when I found out that he fancied me too.

當我知道他也喜歡我的時候真的大吃一驚。

'Gobsmacked' means shocked, speechless.

「Gobsmacked」 意思就是受到驚嚇、目瞪口呆的。

Now, the other way that we use this verb

這個動詞的另一個用法是

is to express that we want or we feel like something.

表達我們想要做某事。

I could say, I really fancy fish and chips tonight.

我可以說，我今晚想吃炸魚薯條。

And that means I really feel like fish and chips.

而那句話的意思是，我真的很想要炸魚薯條。

I want fish and chips.

我想要炸魚薯條。

Or in a question, do you fancy going to the pub?

或是在問句中，你想要去酒吧嗎？

Do you want to go to the pub?

你想要去酒吧嗎？

Do you feel like going to the pub?

你想要去酒吧嗎？

Now, note I said, do you want to go,

現在，要注意我剛剛說「want to go」

but do you fancy going?

但 fancy 則是 「fancy going」

Do you feel like going?

然後另一個是 「feel like going」。

So, remember that if you use it in an exam.

所以，如果你在考試的時候寫到，要記得它們的區別。

Right, the next one, number two is a phrasal verb.

好，下一個，第二個是片語動詞。

It is to dob somebody in.

就是「to dob somebody in」。

To dob somebody in.

告某人的狀。

This means to report a person to somebody of authority for a wrongdoing.

這個意思是去向上級報告某人的做的壞事。

So, if somebody's done something wrong,

所以，如果某個人做了壞事

you inform someone in a position of authority.

你向位高權重的人告發那個人的作為。

For example, I can't believe Ellie dobbed me in

例如，我不敢相信 Ellie 跟老師報告

to the teacher for skipping class yesterday.

我昨天蹺了課。

She dobbed me in.

The first meaning is to talk to somebody

第 1 個意思是跟某人聊天

in a flirtatious way.

但是用調情的語氣。

To talk to somebody flirtatiously.

譬如 1 個保全不讓我們進去夜店

I'll say, I'll see if I can chat her up.

我會說，看看我能不能說服她。

It doesn't mean I'm going to flirt with her.

意思不是我要去跟她調情。

It means I'm going to try and be really, really nice to her

意思是我要試試看，對她很好

so that I avoid using slangs

所以我會避免用俚語

so that they can understand me better,

這樣他們可以更了解我在說甚麼

but pop is the one that I struggle with

但 pop 要不要用我很難決定

because I just use it all the time.

因為我太常用了。

And pop, the meaning is very simple.

而 pop 的意思也很簡單。

Once you understand it, you will be fine.

一旦你了解了，一切都沒問題。

It means to go somewhere usually for a short period of time

意思是去某個地方，通常只有一小段時間

and often without notice.

而且往往沒人通知你。

So, without notice is you haven't advised

所以，沒有通知是指你沒有告知

the place or the people that you're going to go there,

你要去的地方或你要見的人

We often use it with a preposition.

我們通常會用來當介系詞。

It means do you mind if I quickly visit your house for a second?

意思是，如果我在你家坐一會兒，你介意嗎？

So it's normally something spontaneous, unplanned,

所以這通常是自願的、沒計畫的

short period of time, but it basically just means go.

時間短的，但基本上就是要去。

Number six, to go on about.

第 6 個，「to go on about」。

This means to talk continuously and to talk too much.

這意思是不斷地說話，而且有點講太多話了。

Can also just be a verb on its own, it is to faff around,

單獨使用也可以做為動詞，就是「to faff around」

or you can shorten it to faff, just to faff.

或是可以縮短為「to faff」。

It's not a phrasal verb in this case.

這時候就不是片語動詞。

It's got two meanings, both are quite similar.

這也有 2 個意思，2 個意思有點像。

The first meaning, the most common one

首先是最常聽到的

is to spend time doing unimportant things

就是花時間做不重要的事

and avoid what you really should be doing.

你在做甚麼？

Have you just been faffing around?

你只是在耍廢嗎？

I'm trying to say what have you been doing

很愛到處開玩笑，我可能會說

faffing around, stop messing around it could also mean.

Faff on its own, stop faffing, oh I'm just faffing.

單獨使用 Faff 的意思是，不要再瞎忙，噢我只是在瞎忙。

We don't necessarily have to include that around there.

在這裡我們就不多做解釋了。

Number eight, a verb on its own,

第 8 個，一個單獨使用的動詞

to scoff, to scoff,

I might say you scoff that,

我可能會說你在狼吞虎嚥

you ate that quickly and greedily.

你吃地又急又快。

It's very informal, it's quite friendly,

這很口語，但也蠻友善的

it's not necessarily negative if you use it in the right way.

如果你好好用的話，這不會是個負面用詞。

So I might say I scoffed my dinner

所以我可能會說，我狼吞虎嚥的吃完晚餐

and I went up for seconds.
