Eat Sleep Dreamers I'm a firm believer that you can learn English anytime anywhere.

Eat Sleep Dreamers，我堅信你可以隨時隨地學習英文。

情態助動詞 A2

I always tell my students keep your head up and your eyes open and you can find great English everywhere you look.

我總是告訴我的學生，要抬起頭、睜大眼，你會在身邊看到很多很棒的英文。

過去簡單式

So today I thought I'd take you around London and we can find examples of great English around the city.

所以今天我想帶你們一起在倫敦走走，看看我們能不能在城市裡找到一些精彩的英文例子。

如果你準備好了，那我們就開始吧！

Alright, Eat Sleep Dreamers we've found our first example. This is a hair product, there's a couple of really nice phrases in here.

好了，Eat Sleep Dreamers，我們找到第一個例子了。這是一款美髮產品，上面有幾個很棒的用語。

The first one I want to look at is 'the big smoke'.

Now the big smoke is an informal phrase to mean a city.

"The big smoke" 是個非正式的說法，意思是「大城市」。

So we call London the big smoke, you can call any city the big smoke to be honest.

我們會叫倫敦 “the big smoke”，說實話，你也可以把任何城市這樣稱呼。

Another nice phrase we've got here is 'ta-da'.

這裡還有個很棒的短語是 “ta-da”。

So when you are revealing something to someone maybe in a dramatic way, you'll go 'ta-da'.

當你要向某人展示某個東西，可能是以一種戲劇性的方式，就會說 “ta-da”。

So a magician might say it or let's say you've got a nice new dress and you are wearing it and you show your partner you go, "ta-da," then we'll use it.

像是魔術師會這麼說，或是你穿了一件漂亮的新洋裝，然後展示給你的伴侶看，也可以說 “ta-da”。這時就能用這個詞。

Alright so as you can see, a couple of really nice phrases just from one advert. Amazing, alright, let's go find another one.

所以你看，只是一個廣告，我們就學到幾個很棒的片語。太棒了，我們再去找下一個吧！

Ok, I've just found another example. There's a film here called Downsizing.

好，我又找到另一個例子。這裡有一部電影叫做 *Downsizing*（縮小人生）。

The verb to downsize means to reduce in size.

動詞 “to downsize” 的意思是縮小尺寸或規模。

So often if someone lives in a big house and then they want to move to a smaller house then they downsize. They get a smaller house.

比如，有人住在一棟大房子，然後想搬到小一點的房子，他們就是在 downsize，也就是搬到更小的房子。

You could also think about a company downsizing. So reducing the number of staff members.

你也可以想到公司在 downsizing，也就是裁減員工數量。

So yeah it's quite a useful little verb. This of course is a noun, downsizing, the noun but yeah, you've got a film with great vocabulary.

這是一個挺實用的小動詞。當然這裡是用作名詞 *downsizing*，不過你看，這部電影的詞彙也很有教育意義。

So I'm walking along Carnaby street which is one of London's most famous shopping streets.

我現在走在 Carnaby Street，這是倫敦最著名的購物街之一。

And I'm just looking around to see if I can find any great vocabulary or useful phrases like anywhere in the shops.

我正在四處看看，看能不能在店裡找到一些不錯的單字或有趣的片語。

Often the shop windows will have phrases on them or the shops themselves have interesting names.

通常店面櫥窗上會有一些用語，或者店名本身就很有趣。

So I've just seen this sign that says Birchbox pop-up. A pop-up is a shop that's very temporary.

我剛剛看到一個牌子，上面寫著「Birchbox 快閃店」。快閃店是指臨時性的商店。

So maybe a company will rent a space on a street for a couple of months and they'll put the shop in there and it's only a temporary rent.

所以，也許一家公司會在街上租個地方幾個月，然後把店開在那裡，這只是臨時租賃。

它出現在那裡，然後就消失了。

So as soon as it's there, it's there for a month or a couple of weeks and then it's gone.

所以它一旦出現，就會在那裡待一個月或幾週，然後就消失了。

So you have to be quick. So it's a pop-up. And this is, this is some kind of makeup pop-up or something, I don't know.

所以你必須動作要快。所以這是一個快閃店。這是某種化妝品快閃店之類的，我不知道。

Alright, so I'm standing outside a card shop and I've had a look at some of the cards.

我站在一家卡片店外面，看了一些卡片。

And cards have amazing English on them. So the one I picked out there was troll.

卡片上的英文寫得真棒。所以我挑出來的那個是「酸民」。

It's a noun and it means someone on the internet who deliberately tries to annoy other people to get them angry.

這是一個名詞，指的是網路上故意惹惱別人、激怒他們的人。

So you'll see it in the YouTube comments or something, people being mean, they are trolls.

所以你會在YouTube留言區或其他地方看到，有人很刻薄，他們是噴子。

They are trying to get a reaction out of other people. So even on cards, you can get amazing English.

他們想引起別人的反應。所以即使在卡片上，你也可以很會很棒的英語。

Alright, we'e got a shop right here in Carnaby street. To skinny dip.

我們在卡納比街有一家店。這家叫「裸泳」。

Now skinny dip is a verb, it means to go swimming without any clothes on.

裸泳是動詞，意思是不穿衣服去游泳。

So it's a little cheeky shop name but I quite like it. To skinny dip.

這個店名有點俏皮，但我還蠻喜歡的。 「裸泳」。

So it's a verb to skinny dip. I think commonly you might use it as a noun skinny dipping and then use the verb to go.

所以「裸泳」是動詞。我覺得通常你會把它當名詞「裸泳」用，然後再用動詞「去」。

So for example, "On the last night of the holiday, we went skinny dipping." It means we went swimming without our clothes on.

例如，「假期的最後一晚，我們裸泳了。」意思是我們光著身子去游泳了。

Guys, I've had to come and stand in the doorway of a shop because it's absolutely pouring out there.

各位，我不得不站在一家商店的門口，因為外面下著傾盆大雨。

A storm has suddenly come in. I was looking around for English and now I've had to hide.

暴風雨突然來襲。我四處尋找英語，現在不得不躲起來。

But this is London, right? You walk around London, you kind of expect the weather to change.

但這是倫敦，對吧？在倫敦走來走去，你總能預料到天氣會變幻莫測。

Alright, Eat Sleep Dreamers, I'm braving the rain just for you so we can carry on finding some more English.

Eat Sleep Dreamers，我冒雨就是為了你們，這樣我們就可以繼續找英文了。

But only for you, ok? God. I wish I'd brought my umbrella.

但只為了你們，好嗎？天哪。真希望我帶了傘。

Now I know that a lot of you are thinking, "Well, look, Tom, I don't live in an English-speaking place, so there isn't English everywhere that I look," and that's absolutely right.

我知道你們很多人都在想：「嗯，湯姆，你看，我住的地方不是說英語的，所以並不是到處都能看到英語。」這絕對是對的。

I know that a lot of you do live in English speaking countries like in the UK or in America or Canada or Australia.

我知道你們很多人住在英語國家，像是英國、美國、加拿大或澳洲。

I know that in Hong Kong when I lived there, there was loads of English everywhere that I looked.

我知道我住在香港的時候，到處都是英文。

What I think you guys can do that don't live in an English-speaking country is to do exactly what Korean Billy suggested in one of my videos.

我認為你們如果不想生活在英語國家，可以做的就是按照韓國人比利在我的一個影片裡建議的去做。

Right, so look around you. What can you see and what's that in English? So for example, I just walked past this.

對，看看你周圍。你能看到什麼？ 「那」用英語怎麼說？比如，我剛剛走過這個。

What's that in English? It's a puddle, OK, a puddle. It's a noun, puddle.

「那」用英語怎麼說？ “那是一個水坑”，好吧，一個水坑。它是一個名詞，puddle。

Ok, so look around you, what can you see? What's it in English? How can you translate it into English?

看看你周圍，你能看到什麼？ 「那」用英語怎麼說？你怎麼把它翻譯成英文？

So start from where you are, look around you and that's where you can begin.

所以，從你所在的地方開始，環顧四周，你就可以開始了。

Alright, let's quickly dive into Pret A Manger, it's a place we can get food and let's just see what interesting vocabulary we can find.

好吧，讓我們快速進入 Pret A Manger，這是一個我們可以買到食物的地方，看看我們能找到什麼有趣的詞彙。

Alright, so here I've found something called an avo smoothie.

我在這裡發現了一種叫做酪梨奶昔的東西。

Avo is short for avocado, so it's the shortened form and a smoothie is a drink that kind of made up of fruits and juices and vegetables all sort of crushed together with milk and blended together.  Very healthy.

Avo 是酪梨的縮寫，所以它是酪梨的縮寫形式。奶昔是一種由水果、果汁和蔬菜壓碎，再加牛奶混合而成的飲料。非常健康。

Alright, guys I hope you enjoyed that little tour around London searching for great examples of English.

好了，各位，希望你們喜歡這趟在倫敦尋找優秀英文例句的旅程。

I think we found some pretty good ones. So what i want you guys to do is keep your heads up, keep your eyes open and keep searching for great great English.

我覺得我們找到了一些相當不錯的。所以我希望你們時刻觀察四周，保持敏銳，繼續尋找優秀的英語。

So whether that's around your city or online, doesn't matter, just keep searching for great English.

因此，無論是在你所在的城市還是在網路上，都沒關係，只需繼續尋找優秀的英語即可。

Alright guys, this is Tom, the Chief Dreamer, saying goodbye.
