We have: 'kick off', 'large-scale' and 'hit'.

ื™ืฉ ืœื ื•: 'ื‘ืขื™ื˜ื”', 'ื‘ืงื ื” ืžื™ื“ื” ื’ื“ื•ืœ' ื•'ืžื›ื”'.
01:40
That's 'kick off', 'large-scale' and 'hit'.
20
100520
3960
ื–ื” 'ื‘ืขื™ื˜ื”', 'ื‘ืงื ื” ืžื™ื“ื” ื’ื“ื•ืœ' ื•'ืžื›ื”'.
01:44
OK. Well, let's have a look at your first news headline
21
104480

ื‘ืกื“ืจ. ื•ื‘ื›ืŸ, ื‘ื•ื ื ืกืชื›ืœ ืขืœ ื›ื•ืชืจืช ื”ื—ื“ืฉื•ืช ื”ืจืืฉื•ื ื” ืฉืœืš
01:47
to learn about one of those words. What is it please?
22

2560
ื›ื“ื™ ืœืœืžื•ื“ ืขืœ ืื—ืช ืžื”ืžื™ืœื™ื ื”ืืœื”. ืžื” ื–ื” ื‘ื‘ืงืฉื”?
01:50
OK. So, looking in the Times newspaper โ€”
23
110320
3320
ื‘ืกื“ืจ. ืื–, ืžืกืชื›ืœื™ื ื‘ืขื™ืชื•ืŸ "ื˜ื™ื™ืžืก" -
01:53
that's from the UK โ€” we have the headline:
24
113640
3080
ื–ื” ืžื‘ืจื™ื˜ื ื™ื” - ื™ืฉ ืœื ื• ืืช ื”ื›ื•ืชืจืช:
02:03
That's 'kick off' โ€” begin; start.
25
123600
3880
ื–ื” 'ื”ืชื—ื™ืœ' - ื”ืชื—ืœ; ื”ึทืชื—ึธืœึธื”.
02:07
That's right. 'Kick off' is a phrasal verb,
26
127480
3280
ื–ื” ื ื›ื•ืŸ. 'ื‘ืขื™ื˜ื”' ื”ื•ื ืคื•ืขืœ ื‘ื™ื˜ื•ื™,
02:10
made up of the first part, 'kick',
27
130760
2400
ื”ืžื•ืจื›ื‘ ืžื”ื—ืœืง ื”ืจืืฉื•ืŸ, 'ื‘ืขื™ื˜ื”',
02:13
and then the particle 'off'.
28
133160
4320
ื•ืœืื—ืจ ืžื›ืŸ ืžื”ื—ืœืงื™ืง 'ื‘ื“ืจืš'.
02:17
And we hear this expression used in football, don't we?
29
137480
4160
ื•ืื ื—ื ื• ืฉื•ืžืขื™ื ืืช ื”ื‘ื™ื˜ื•ื™ ื”ื–ื” ื‘ืฉื™ืžื•ืฉ ื‘ื›ื“ื•ืจื’ืœ, ืœื?
02:21
Yeah. So, at the beginning of a football match
30
141640
2760
ื›ึผึตืŸ. ืื–, ื‘ืชื—ื™ืœืช ืžืฉื—ืง ื›ื“ื•ืจื’ืœ
02:24
there is 'the kick-off'; that's a noun.
31
144400
1960
ื™ืฉ 'ื”ื‘ืขื™ื˜ื”'; ื–ื” ืฉื ืขืฆื.
02:26
Or the players 'kick off' as a verb and it means just start the game.
32
146360
5080
ืื• ืฉื”ืฉื—ืงื ื™ื 'ื‘ื•ืขื˜ื™ื' ื‘ืชื•ืจ ืคื•ืขืœ ื•ื–ื” ืื•ืžืจ ืคืฉื•ื˜ ืœื”ืชื—ื™ืœ ืืช ื”ืžืฉื—ืง.
02:31
Obviously, in football you 'kick' the ball
33
151440
2440
ื‘ืจื•ืจ ืฉื‘ื›ื“ื•ืจื’ืœ ืืชื” 'ื‘ื•ืขื˜' ื‘ื›ื“ื•ืจ
02:33
and so 'kick off' means start the football match.
34
153880
3880
ื•ืœื›ืŸ 'ื‘ืขื™ื˜ื”' ืคื™ืจื•ืฉื• ืœื”ืชื—ื™ืœ ืืช ืžืฉื—ืง ื”ื›ื“ื•ืจื’ืœ.
02:37
So, are we talking about football in this story here?
35
157760
3480
ืื–, ื”ืื ืื ื—ื ื• ืžื“ื‘ืจื™ื ืขืœ ื›ื“ื•ืจื’ืœ ื‘ืกื™ืคื•ืจ ื”ื–ื” ื›ืืŸ?
02:41
Well, actually we're not, no.
36
161240
1840
ื•ื‘ื›ืŸ, ื‘ืขืฆื ืื ื—ื ื• ืœื, ืœื.
02:43
So, 'kick off' originates from football but it can be used
37
163080
4560
ืื–, 'ื‘ืขื™ื˜ื•ืช' ืžืงื•ืจื• ื‘ื›ื“ื•ืจื’ืœ, ืืš ื ื™ืชืŸ ืœื”ืฉืชืžืฉ ื‘ื•
02:47
in a wide variety of other contexts,
38
167640
3480
ื‘ืžื’ื•ื•ืŸ ืจื—ื‘ ืฉืœ ื”ืงืฉืจื™ื ืื—ืจื™ื,
02:51
just meaning to start something.
39
171120
3240
ืจืง ื›ืœื•ืžืจ ืœื”ืชื—ื™ืœ ืžืฉื”ื•.
02:54
Although, actually in this story there is a connection to football
40
174360
3320
ืืžื ื, ืœืžืขืฉื” ื‘ืกื™ืคื•ืจ ื”ื–ื” ื™ืฉ ืงืฉืจ ืœื›ื“ื•ืจื’ืœ
02:57
because the trial involves footballers
41
177680
3080
ื›ื™ ื‘ืžืฉืคื˜ ืžืขื•ืจื‘ื™ื ื›ื“ื•ืจื’ืœื ื™ื ืžืงื‘ื•ืฆืช
03:00
from the team MK Dons โ€” transporting them around โ€”
42
180760
3400
MK Dons - ืžืกื™ืขื™ื ืื•ืชื ืžืกื‘ื™ื‘ -
03:04
so the headline writer has had a bit of fun there;
43
184160
3200
ื›ืš ืฉื›ื•ืชื‘ ื”ื›ื•ืชืจื•ืช ื ื”ื ื” ืฉื ืงืฆืช;
03:07
he's using 'kick off' to mean start something in general,
44
187360
5320
ื”ื•ื ืžืฉืชืžืฉ ื‘'ืงื™ืง-off' ื›ื“ื™ ืœื”ืชื—ื™ืœ ืžืฉื”ื• ื‘ืื•ืคืŸ ื›ืœืœื™,
03:12
but there is a connection to its original meaning about football.
45
192680
4280
ืื‘ืœ ื™ืฉ ืงืฉืจ ืœืžืฉืžืขื•ืช ื”ืžืงื•ืจื™ืช ืฉืœื• ืœื’ื‘ื™ ื›ื“ื•ืจื’ืœ.
03:16
Yeah, I get that. Right, OK.
46
196960
1600
ื›ืŸ, ืื ื™ ืžื‘ื™ืŸ ืืช ื–ื”. ื ื›ื•ืŸ.
03:18
And it's quite an informal expression, this one, as well, isn't it?
47
198560
3000
ื•ื–ื” ื‘ื™ื˜ื•ื™ ื“ื™ ืœื ืจืฉืžื™, ื’ื ื–ื”, ืœื?
03:21
That's right, yes. You wouldn't see in...
48
201560
2960
ื ื›ื•ืŸ, ื›ืŸ. ืœื ื”ื™ื™ืช ืจื•ืื” ื‘...
03:24
you know, sort of, official documentation
49
204520
2360
ืืชื” ื™ื•ื“ืข, ื‘ืขืจืš, ืชื™ืขื•ื“ ืจืฉืžื™
03:26
about the start of something โ€”
50
206880
2040
ืขืœ ื”ืชื—ืœื” ืฉืœ ืžืฉื”ื• -
03:28
you wouldn't see the verb 'kick off',
51
208920
2160
ืœื ืชืจืื” ืืช ื”ืคื•ืขืœ 'ืœื”ืชื—ื™ืœ',
03:31
but we use it all the time and it's OK to use in headlines, obviously.
52
211080
4480
ืื‘ืœ ืื ื—ื ื• ืžืฉืชืžืฉื™ื ื‘ื• ื›ืœ ื”ื–ืžืŸ ื•ื–ื” ื‘ืกื“ืจ ืœื”ืฉืชืžืฉ ื‘ื›ื•ืชืจื•ืช, ืžื•ื‘ืŸ ืžืืœื™ื•.
03:35
Yeah. OK. So, we 'kick something off' or we 'kick off something':
53
215560
3760
ื›ึผึตืŸ. ื‘ืกื“ืจ. ืื–, ืื ื—ื ื• 'ื‘ื•ืขื˜ื™ื ืžืฉื”ื•' ืื• 'ื‘ื•ืขื˜ื™ื ืžืฉื”ื•':
03:39
that's the kind of way we use it generally, yeah?
54
219320
2120
ื–ื” ืกื•ื’ ื”ื“ืจืš ืฉื‘ื” ืื ื—ื ื• ืžืฉืชืžืฉื™ื ื‘ื• ื‘ืื•ืคืŸ ื›ืœืœื™, ื›ืŸ?
03:41
That's right. The verb can be separated
55
221440
2160
ื–ื” ื ื›ื•ืŸ. ื ื™ืชืŸ ืœื”ืคืจื™ื“ ืืช ื”ืคื•ืขืœ
03:43
so that means you could put something in the beginning:
56
223600
2760
ื›ืš ืฉื–ื” ืื•ืžืจ ืฉืืชื” ื™ื›ื•ืœ ืœืฉื™ื ืžืฉื”ื• ื‘ื”ืชื—ืœื”:
03:46
we can 'kick off the project' or 'kick the project off'.
57
226360
5160
ืื ื—ื ื• ื™ื›ื•ืœื™ื 'ืœื”ืชื—ื™ืœ ืืช ื”ืคืจื•ื™ืงื˜' ืื• 'ืœื”ืชื ื™ืข ืืช ื”ืคืจื•ื™ืงื˜'.
03:51
OK. Great. Let's have a summary then of that phrase:
58
231520
3400
ื‘ืกื“ืจ. ื’ื“ื•ืœ. ืื– ื‘ื•ืื• ื ืขืฉื” ืกื™ื›ื•ื ืฉืœ ื”ื‘ื™ื˜ื•ื™ ื”ื–ื”:
04:02
So, we've been talking about 'kick off',
59
242600
2200
ืื–, ื“ื™ื‘ืจื ื• ืขืœ 'ื‘ืขื™ื˜ื”',
04:04
but we use the word 'kick' in another English expression,
60
244800
3720
ืื‘ืœ ืื ื—ื ื• ืžืฉืชืžืฉื™ื ื‘ืžื™ืœื” 'ื‘ืขื™ื˜ื”' ื‘ื‘ื™ื˜ื•ื™ ื‘ืื ื’ืœื™ืช ืื—ืจ,

'to kick something into the long grass',

'ืœื‘ืขื•ื˜ ืžืฉื”ื• ืœืชื•ืš ื”ื“ืฉื ื”ืืจื•ืš',

ื‘ืกื“ืจ. ื”ื›ื•ืชืจืช ื”ื‘ืื” ืžื’ื™ืขื” ืž-BBC News ื•ื”ื™ื:

ื–ื” 'ื‘ืงื ื” ืžื™ื“ื” ื’ื“ื•ืœ' - ื”ื›ื•ืœืœ ื”ืจื‘ื” ืื ืฉื™ื ืื• ื“ื‘ืจื™ื.

71
286960

'ื’ื“ื•ืœ' - ื‘ืจื•ืจ ืฉื–ื” ืื•ืžืจ ื’ื“ื•ืœ.
