Sometimes in English you need to be able to tell someone what to do.

有時在英語中，你需要能夠告訴別人該怎麼做。

This verb form is called the imperative, and in this video we're going to look at 10 ways

這種動詞形式被稱為命令狀語，在這個視頻中，我們要看看10種方式。

to use the verb, "to be" in its imperative form.

要用動詞，"被 "的賓語形式。

1. Be careful!

1.小心！

You can say, "Be careful!" to someone if they are doing something dangerous.

如果有人在做危險的事情，你可以對他說："小心！"。

Imagine you and a friend are mountain climbing, and as your friend climbs above you, you see

想象一下，你和朋友在爬山，當你的朋友爬到你的上方時，你會看到

that he is in a dangerous situation.

他現在的處境很危險

You could say, using the imperative:

你可以說，用的是定語。

Be careful!

小心點！

Be careful up there Dave.

小心點，戴夫

You might slip.

你可能會滑倒。

Be careful Dave.

小心點，戴夫

It looks dangerous up there.

2. Be quiet.

2.安靜點

Imagine you are driving in a van and you have a bunch of your children in the back if you

想象一下，你開著一輛麵包車，後面有一群孩子，如果你

have children and they are being loud.

有孩子，他們很吵。

You could use the imperative phrase, "Be quiet!" to tell them that they are being too loud

你可以用 "安靜點！"這樣的命令性短語來告訴他們，他們太吵了。

and you would like them to quiet down.

你想讓他們安靜下來

3. Be prepared.

3.3. 做好準備。

Let's imagine that a storm is approaching and you are listening to the news.

讓我們想象一下，一場風暴即將來臨，你正在收聽新聞。

On the news the news anchor may say: Be prepared!

在新聞中，新聞主播可能會說。準備好！

暴風雨就要來了。

Be prepared people!

大家做好準備！

High winds are imminent.

大風即將來臨。

Be prepared!

有備無患

A storm will arrive soon.

一場暴風雨很快就會到來。

And this is the imperative form of "to be" with the word prepared.

而這是 "要 "字與 "備 "字的賓語形式。

Letting you know that you should make sure you have food, candles, and other things you

讓你知道，你應該確保你有食物，蠟燭，和其他的東西，你

may need in the event of a disaster.

4. Be happy!

4.開心點!

You might know the song, "Don't worry.

你可能知道《別擔心》這首歌。

Be happy!"

開心點！"

And this song actually uses two sentences in the imperative.

而這首曲子居然用了兩句御用詞。

The first is the negative form, "Don't worry."

第一種是消極形式，"別擔心"。

and the second is the affirmative form, "Be happy!"

而第二種是肯定的形式，"要快樂！"。

And basically it is telling you that you should set aside your worries in life, don't think

基本上就是告訴你，你應該放下生活中的煩惱，不要去想什麼

about your problems, and just try to be happy.

關於你的問題，並只是嘗試快樂。

Don't worry.

別擔心

Be happy!

開心點

5. Don't be late.

5.不要遲到。

So I've switched over to using the negative form of the imperative.

所以我改用了否定式的御用詞。

In the affirmative form we say things like, "Be happy!".

在肯定的形式下，我們會說："要快樂！"等話。

In the negative form we say things with, "Don't" in front.

在消極的形式下，我們說事情的時候，前面會有，"不要"。

So we would say things like, "Don't be late."

所以我們會說，"不要遲到 "之類的話。

So imagine you are a teacher and you and your students are going to go on a trip.

所以，想象你是一名老師，你和你的學生要去旅行。

You would say to your students:

你會對你的學生說。

Don't be late tomorrow morning.

明天早上不要遲到。

We are leaving at 7am.

我們早上7點出發

Don't be late because the bus will not wait for you.

不要遲到，因為公車不會等你。

Don't be late.

不要遲到。

6. Don't be mean.

6.不要吝嗇。

You might be talking with a brother or sister and maybe it's turning into an argument and

你可能會和兄弟或姐妹哈拉，也許會變成一場爭吵，而。

one of you is starting to get angry and saying words that they should not say.

你們中的一個人開始生氣了，說出了不該說的話。

You could say:

你可以說：

Don't be mean.

別這麼刻薄

Don't be mean to me when you talk.

你說話的時候不要對我凶。

And this is again the negative form of the imperative and you're indicating to the person

而這又是否定形式的命令，你是在向人表明... ...

that you would prefer that they are kind to you.

你寧願他們對你好。

Don't be mean.

別這麼刻薄

Let's keep this argument civil.

7.7、不要害怕。

Imagine you're walking with a small child and it's nighttime.

想象一下，你和一個小孩子一起走，現在是晚上。

你會對孩子說。

Don't be afraid.

不要害怕

I am here with you.

我在這裡和你一起。

Don't be afraid.

不要害怕

I will hold your hand.

我將握住你的手。

And in this way you use the imperative to indicate to the child how they should be feeling.

而你用這種方式向孩子表明他們應該有怎樣的感受。

It won't necessarily stop them from being afraid, but it might assure them that you

這不一定能讓他們不再害怕，但可以讓他們確信，你...

are watching over them.

正在看著他們。

Don't be afraid.

不要害怕

8. Don't be difficult.

Sometimes when having a small argument with a friend who you know really well, you might

say to them:

對他們說。

Don't be difficult.

別為難。

If they are making the argument somewhat uncomfortable for you.

You would need to know the person well to make this statement.

你需要很瞭解這個人，才會有這樣的說法。

But let's say for instance a friend was bugging me, or making fun of me about something.

但比如說朋友在煩我，或者取笑我什麼。

I could say to them:

我可以對他們說

Dave, don't be difficult.

戴夫，別這麼難纏

Let's try to resolve this nicely.

讓我們試著好好解決這個問題。

9. Don't be an idiot.

Please don't ever say this sentence to someone, but you should know what this sentence is.

基本上，這意味著他們認為這個人的行為方式，他們是

showing that they are not intelligent.

顯示他們並不聰明。

And so they would say in derogatory way, it is a bit of an insult:

所以他們會用貶義的方式說，這是一種侮辱。

Don't be an idiot.

別傻了

Again, please don't use this sentence yourself.

再次，請不要自己用這句話。

This is only so you will recognize it.

這只是為了讓你認識它。

但在英語中有時會聽到這樣一句話："Don't be an idiot."。

10. Let's be kind to each other.

10.讓我們互相善待。

So this is the form of the imperative that includes the person who is speaking.

所以這就是包括說話人在內的命令形式。

When we use, "Let's" in front of an imperative sentence it means that I myself as the speaker

當我們把 "Let's "用在命令句前面時，意味著我自己作為說話人。

am included in the command.

包括在命令中。

So if I say:

所以如果我說：

Let's be kind to each other.

It means that myself and the other people that I am talking to will all attempt to be

這意味著，我自己和其他與我交談的人都會試圖成為。

kind to each other in the conversation.
