This is The English We Speak with you, Neil.

這裡是《道地英文》，有你，Neil。

Ah, Neil, it sounds like you're in a good mood.

You'll never find me in a bad mood, Fei Fei.

Fei Fei，你永遠看不到我心情不好。

I need to leave early today and wondered if you could finish this program on your own,

我今天需要早點離開，想問你能不能自己完成這個節目，

If you think I'm going to do all my work and yours,

如果你以為我要做我自己的工作還要做你的，

那你就是活在「雲裡霧裡」的世界。

What I mean is that you are silly to think the impossible is possible.

我的意思是，你認為不可能的事可能發生，真是太天真了。

這就叫「生活在虛無飄渺的世界裡」。

Basically, you are misguided to think I can do my work and your work.

基本上，你誤以為我能做我自己的工作還能做你的工作。

Neil thinks I'm silly to believe he can do his work and mine.

Neil覺得我傻，居然相信他能做自己的工作還能做我的。

Let's hear some examples, shall we, while you visit cloud cuckoo land.

那我們來聽一些例子吧，當你暫時去「虛無飄渺的世界裡」吧。

If my teacher thinks I can do my grammar homework and learn all my new vocabulary tonight,

如果我的老師認為我今晚可以做完文法作業又學完所有新單字，

If you think we're going to win this match with only ten players,

如果你以為我們只有十個人也能贏這場比賽，

He's clearly living in cloud cuckoo land.

How can we ever afford to buy a house with the little money we earn?

我們怎麼可能靠微薄的薪水買得起房子？

So, living in cloud cuckoo land describes a situation where someone thinks doing something impossible is possible.

所以，「活在虛無飄渺的世界裡」形容的是有人認為不可能的事是可能的情況。

So, it's about someone being unrealistic?

Like you wanting to go home early and me doing all your work.

就像你想早點回家，卻要我幫你做所有工作。

Well, Neil, if you think I'm going to sit here and miss out on front row seats at the theatre,

好啦，Neil，如果你以為我會坐在這裡錯過劇院的前排座位，

then you are living in cloud cuckoo land.

那你就是「活在虛無飄渺的世界裡」。

Oh, so you're off to the theatre, leaving me to finish the program.

哦，你要去劇院，把完成節目留給我？

Well, everyone, today's program is about the phrase "living in cloud cuckoo land," and it appears I'm in it.

好了，大家，今天的節目是關於「活在虛無飄渺的世界裡」這個片語，看來我自己就活在裡面了。
