English Listening Practice: Talking about Winter - (The English Like A Native Podcast)

Now, today it is freezing cold.

Ngayon, napakalamig ngayon.

Freezing cold.

Nagyeyelong malamig.

It's interesting because we can say it's cold.

Nakakatuwa kasi masasabi nating malamig.

And we can say it's freezing, but we often put those two together when

At masasabi nating nagyeyelo, ngunit madalas nating pinagsama ang dalawang iyon kapag

we want to say that it's very cold.

gusto nating sabihin na napakalamig.

We say it's freezing cold.

Sabi namin napakalamig.

Actually, I think it's interesting because we use the phrase freezing cold

Sa totoo lang, sa tingin ko ito ay kawili-wili dahil ginagamit namin ang pariralang nagyeyelong malamig

even when it's not actually below zero.

kahit na ito ay hindi talaga mas mababa sa zero.

When the temperature is above zero, but still quite low,

Kapag ang temperatura ay higit sa zero, ngunit medyo mababa pa rin,

perhaps it's five degrees.

marahil ito ay limang degree.

Then we might say, oh, it's freezing cold, or I'm freezing cold.

Pagkatapos ay maaari nating sabihin, o, ang lamig, o ako ay nilalamig.

I feel freezing cold today.

Nakaramdam ako ng lamig ngayon.

So it is just a way of emphasising how cold you think it is, even if it's

Kaya isa lang itong paraan ng pagbibigay-diin sa tingin mo kung gaano ito kalamig, kahit na

not literally freezing temperatures.

hindi ito literal na nagyeyelong temperatura.

Okay, so that's our first phrase, freezing cold.

Okay, kaya iyon ang aming unang parirala, napakalamig.

And today it quite literally is freezing cold.

At ngayon, literal na napakalamig.

We've had very low temperatures in London in the last week.

Nagkaroon kami ng napakababang temperatura sa London noong nakaraang linggo.

It's been dipping below zero every day and every night.

Ito ay lumulubog sa ibaba ng zero araw-araw at gabi-gabi.

In fact, it even snowed in London recently.

Sa katunayan, nag-snow pa nga sa London kamakailan.

Not enough for us to be snowed in, but we did have a little light

Hindi sapat para maulanan kami ng niyebe, ngunit mayroon kaming maliit na

blanket of snow across the country.

kumot ng niyebe sa buong bansa.

So there I said there wasn't enough snow for us to be snowed in.

So there I said there isn't enough snow for us to be snowed in.

I said, snowed in twice, actually.

Sabi ko, dalawang beses na nagsnow, actually.

I said "it snowed in London".

Sabi ko "nag-snow sa London".

And then I used the phrase "to be snowed in".

At pagkatapos ay ginamit ko ang pariralang "mag-snow in".

Now, the first time I said snowed in, in was the preposition.

Ngayon, ang unang pagkakataon na sinabi kong snowed in, in ay ang preposition.

I was saying it snowed, where?

Ang sabi ko umuulan ng niyebe, saan?

In London.

Sa London.

But the second time in was part of the phrasal verb.

Ngunit ang pangalawang pagkakataon sa ay bahagi ng phrasal verb.

Snowed in, snowed in.

Nag-snow in, snowed in.

So, it's not enough snow for us to be snowed in.

Kaya, hindi sapat ang snow para tayo ay mag-snow.

Now, to be snowed in means that you are trapped in your location because,

Ngayon, ang pag-snow in ay nangangahulugan na nakulong ka sa iyong lokasyon dahil,

there's too much snow for you to go out or go where you need to go.

napakaraming snow para lumabas ka o pumunta kung saan mo kailangan. pumunta ka.

So, I can't travel to work today because I'm snowed in.

Kaya, hindi ako makabiyahe papunta sa trabaho ngayon dahil na-snow ako.

The trains are not running.

Hindi tumatakbo ang mga tren.

My car is stuck on the drive because there is a lot of snow.

Natigil ang sasakyan ko sa biyahe dahil maraming snow.

Too much snow for me to actually get the car out and

Masyadong maraming snow para talagang mailabas ko ang kotse at

drive to work, to be snowed in.

magmaneho papunta sa trabaho, para ma-snow.

I don't think I've ever been seriously snowed in before.

Sa palagay ko ay hindi pa ako seryosong naulanan ng niyebe.

I've certainly had days rearranged, whether it was work or an event

Tiyak na nagkaroon ako ng mga araw na muling inayos, ito man ay trabaho o isang kaganapan

rearranged, because public transport hasn't been running due to snow or ice,

na muling inayos, dahil ang pampublikong sasakyan ay hindi tumatakbo dahil sa snow o yelo,

or in some cases 'leaves on the track'.

o sa ilang mga kaso ay 'umaalis sa landas'.

This is a part of popular culture.

Ito ay bahagi ng kulturang popular.

There was criticism one year that some of the trains weren't able to run

Nagkaroon ng pagbatikos noong isang taon na ang ilan sa mga tren ay hindi nakatakbo

because there was heavy leaf fall, so the leaves were falling off the trees

dahil sa mabigat na dahon ay nahuhulog, kaya ang mga dahon ay nalalagas sa mga puno

and falling onto the train tracks, which was preventing the trains from going.

at nahuhulog sa riles ng tren, na pumipigil sa mga tren sa pagtakbo.

And so they were saying, "I'm terribly sorry.

At kaya sinasabi nila, "I'm teribly sorry.

The trains have been cancelled due to leaves on the track", which we all

Kinansela ang mga tren dahil sa pag-alis sa riles", na

thought was quite funny really, as much as it was annoying, it was quite funny.

akala naming lahat ay medyo nakakatawa talaga, kahit nakakainis, medyo nakakatawa.

It kind of shows that we are not really very good at dealing with weather, even

Ito ay isang uri ng pagpapakita na tayo ay hindi talaga napakahusay sa pakikitungo sa panahon, kahit na

something as simple as falling leaves.

isang bagay na kasing simple ng pagbagsak ng mga dahon.

Anyway.

Anyway.

Have you ever been seriously snowed in to a point where perhaps you couldn't open

Naranasan mo na bang malubha ang niyebe sa isang punto kung saan marahil ay hindi mo mabuksan

your door to go outside of your house?

ang iyong pinto upang lumabas ng iyong bahay?

Now, I also said that London has been covered in, in fact, the UK has

Ngayon, sinabi ko rin na natakpan ang London, sa katunayan, ang UK ay

been covered with a blanket of snow.

natatakpan ng isang kumot ng niyebe.

So, this is another phrase, a blanket of snow.

Kaya, ito ay isa pang parirala, isang kumot ng niyebe.

Obviously a blanket is something you sleep with.

Malinaw na ang isang kumot ay isang bagay na iyong natutulog.

It's a large piece of cloth material.

Ito ay isang malaking piraso ng tela.

Usually a blanket, well, a duvet is filled with feathers or synthetic

Karaniwan ang isang kumot, mabuti, ang isang duvet ay puno ng mga balahibo o sintetikong

materials, and a blanket covers you, and it covers your bed, and it

materyales, at isang kumot ang sumasaklaw sa iyo, at ito ay tumatakip sa iyong kama, at ito ay

covers you, and it keeps you warm.

nagtatakip sa iyo, at ito ay nagpapainit sa iyo.

But a blanket of snow is just a way of saying that snow has

Ngunit ang isang kumot ng niyebe ay isang paraan lamang ng pagsasabing natabunan ng niyebe

covered the ground and the houses and the cars and everything.

ang lupa at ang mga bahay at ang mga sasakyan at lahat ng bagay.

There's a blanket of snow covering everything, because sometimes

May isang kumot ng niyebe na tumatakip sa lahat, dahil minsan

it snows and it doesn't stick.

umuulan at hindi dumidikit.

We talk about snow sticking, "oh, it's snowing, but I don't

Napag-uusapan natin ang tungkol sa pagdikit ng niyebe, "naku, umuulan, ngunit sa

think it's going to stick".

palagay ko ay hindi ito mananatili".

When snow sticks, it means that it stays, so it hits the ground or it hits a

Kapag dumikit ang snow, nangangahulugan ito na nananatili ito, kaya tumama ito sa lupa o tumama ito sa isang

surface and, it maintains its snow form.

ibabaw at, pinapanatili nito ang anyo ng niyebe nito.

It doesn't melt into water or slush.

Hindi ito natutunaw sa tubig o slush.

Slush is melting snow.

Ang slush ay natutunaw na niyebe.

So, it stays nice and crispy, white, beautiful, fluffy snow for you to then

Kaya, ito ay nananatiling maganda at malutong, puti, maganda, malambot na niyebe para ma-

enjoy, once you have a thick enough blanket of snow to go and dive into.

enjoy mo, kapag mayroon ka nang sapat na makapal na kumot ng snow na mapupuntahan at sumisid.

So, if the snow sticks, then you will have a blanket of snow covering the

Kaya, kung dumikit ang niyebe, magkakaroon ka ng kumot ng niyebe na sumasakop sa

ground and you can go, hopefully and enjoy the snow, especially if you've

ground and you can go, hopefully and enjoy the snow, lalo na kung na-

been snowed in and you can't go to work.

snow ka na at hindi ka makakapagtrabaho.

So, you can somehow get out of your house and go and enjoy the deep snow.

Kaya, kahit papaano ay makakalabas ka sa iyong bahay at pumunta at tamasahin ang malalim na niyebe.

Now, I am not a huge fan of the cold weather, I have to say.

Ngayon, hindi ako isang malaking tagahanga ng malamig na panahon, kailangan kong sabihin.

I always have very cold extremities.

Palagi akong may napakalamig na mga paa't kamay.

I have cold hands and cold feet and a cold nose.

Mayroon akong malamig na kamay at malamig na paa at malamig na ilong.

All the bits that kind of stick out of my body, but you know what

Ang lahat ng mga piraso ay lumalabas sa aking katawan, ngunit alam mo kung ano ang

they say, "cold hands, warm heart".

sinasabi nila, "malamig na mga kamay, mainit na puso".

And that's my next phrase.

At iyon ang aking susunod na parirala.

Cold hands warm heart is something you might say to

Ang malamig na mga kamay na mainit ang puso ay isang bagay na maaari mong sabihin sa

someone if they have cold hands.

isang tao kung mayroon silang malamig na mga kamay.

You're just reminding them that even though they have cold hands,

Pinapaalala mo lang sa kanila na kahit malamig ang kamay nila,

they aren't cold as a person.

hindi sila malamig bilang tao.

They have a loving, warm heart.

Mayroon silang mapagmahal, mainit na puso.

So, it doesn't really mean anything.

So, wala naman talagang ibig sabihin.

It's just something we say.

Ito ay isang bagay na sinasabi namin.

I don't know why it exists, but if I say, "oh, my hands are cold".

Hindi ko alam kung bakit nag-e-exist, pero kung sasabihin kong, "ay, ang lamig ng kamay ko".

"Cold hands warm heart."

"Malamig na kamay mainit ang puso."

You have cold hands, but you're still lovely.

Malamig ang mga kamay mo, ngunit maganda ka pa rin.

Or if you touch someone with cold hands, "ooh, your hands are cold".

O kung hinawakan mo ang isang taong may malamig na kamay, "ooh, ang lamig ng iyong mga kamay".

You might say yourself.

Baka sabihin mo sa sarili mo.

"Well, I have cold hands.

"Well, mayroon akong malamig na mga kamay.

But, cold hands, warm heart".

Ngunit, malamig na mga kamay, mainit na puso".

My hands are cold, but I'm a lovely person.

Malamig ang aking mga kamay, ngunit ako ay isang kaibig-ibig na tao.

Yeah.

I don't really know why that phrase exists.

Oo.

Hindi ko talaga alam kung bakit umiiral ang pariralang iyon.

It's just something that people say.

Ito ay isang bagay lamang na sinasabi ng mga tao.

So, tell me, do you often have cold hands?

Kaya, sabihin mo sa akin, madalas ka bang malamig ang mga kamay?

I think the phrase should really be 'cold hands, poor circulation',

Sa tingin ko ang parirala ay dapat talagang 'malamig na kamay, mahinang sirkulasyon',

or 'cold hands, need gloves'.

o 'malamig na kamay, kailangan ng guwantes'.

That would make more sense, then you're saying: I need some gloves.

Iyan ay magiging mas makatuwiran, pagkatapos ay sasabihin mo: Kailangan ko ng ilang guwantes.

Could I borrow some gloves?

Maaari ba akong humiram ng ilang guwantes?

Or, I've got cold hands.

O, mayroon akong malamig na mga kamay.

I have poor circulation.

mahina ang sirkulasyon ko.

Maybe that's something I should look into.

Baka iyon ang dapat kong tingnan.

Can I improve the circulation in my body?

Maaari ko bang mapabuti ang sirkulasyon sa aking katawan?

Anyway, being cold is not fun.

Anyway, hindi nakakatuwa ang pagiging cold.

I think it makes it hard to work and function, and in fact, and I guess

Sa tingin ko ito ay nagpapahirap sa trabaho at paggana, at sa katunayan, at sa palagay ko

this is the same for many people, I find that I'm unwell more often

ito ay pareho para sa maraming tao, nalaman kong mas madalas akong hindi maganda

in the colder months of the year.

sa mas malamig na buwan ng taon.

I recently, I was under the weather, in fact.

Ako kamakailan, ako ay nasa ilalim ng panahon, sa katunayan.

I went out for a meal with some friends, quite late at night.

Lumabas ako para kumain kasama ang ilang kaibigan, medyo gabi na.

It was cold.

Malamig na.

And then the next morning I woke up with a very sore throat.

At pagkatapos ay kinaumagahan nagising ako na may napakasakit na lalamunan.

I actually had laryngitis.

Nagkaroon talaga ako ng laryngitis.

I'd lost my voice, had a sore throat, a headache, a little bit of a temperature,

Nawalan ako ng boses, namamagang lalamunan, masakit ang ulo, medyo may temperatura,

just didn't feel well at all.

hindi maganda ang pakiramdam ko.

I was very much under the weather.

Masyado akong nasa ilalim ng panahon.

And under the weather is another phrase that's lovely.

At sa ilalim ng panahon ay isa pang parirala na kaibig-ibig.

Most English learners learn that phrase very early on, so I'm sure those of you

Karamihan sa mga nag-aaral ng Ingles ay natututo nang maaga sa pariralang iyon, kaya sigurado akong

listening have already heard this phrase, and it is commonly used so, keep using it.

narinig na ng mga nakikinig sa iyo ang pariralang ito, at ito ay karaniwang ginagamit kaya, patuloy na gamitin ito.

Hopefully you haven't felt under the weather at all because, you know, I

Sana ay hindi mo pa naramdaman ang ilalim ng panahon dahil, alam mo, sa

think once you get to a certain level, a certain age in your life, being ill is

palagay ko kapag nakarating ka sa isang tiyak na antas, isang tiyak na edad sa iyong buhay, ang pagiging may sakit ay

actually hard work because you can't have the rest that you need because we need

talagang mahirap na trabaho dahil hindi mo makukuha ang natitirang kailangan mo. kailangan kasi natin

to function, especially if we're parents.

mag function lalo na kung magulang tayo.

And the children, they don't stop, you still have to look after them.

At ang mga bata, hindi sila tumitigil, kailangan mo pa rin silang bantayan.

You still have to get up in the night and you know, you have to cook for

Kailangan mo pang bumangon sa gabi at alam mo, kailangan mong magluto para sa

them and do all the administration that comes with parenting.

kanila at gawin ang lahat ng pangangasiwa na kasama ng pagiging magulang.

So, even if you're ill, you still can't rest when you're

Kaya, kahit may sakit ka, hindi ka pa rin makakapagpahinga kapag nasa

an adult with responsibility.

hustong gulang ka nang may responsibilidad.

And I don't just have the kids, I also have my own business, so I'm

And I don't just have the kids, I also have my own business, kaya madalas nababaon ako

often snowed under with work and admin and things that I have to do.

sa trabaho at admin at mga bagay na kailangan kong gawin.

To be snowed under a commonly used phrase often used in the workplace.

Upang ma-snow sa ilalim ng isang karaniwang ginagamit na parirala na kadalasang ginagamit sa lugar ng trabaho.

If you are snowed under, it means that you have a lot of work.

Kung na-snow ka sa ilalim, nangangahulugan ito na marami kang trabaho.

Almost as if it's on top of you.

Halos parang nasa ibabaw mo.

You are overwhelmed with work.

Nababaliw ka sa trabaho.

You've been snowed on.

Na-snow ka na.

All this work is snowing down on you, weighing you down, and you're

Ang lahat ng gawaing ito ay bumabagsak sa iyo, nagpapabigat sa iyo, at

really struggling to cope with it all.

talagang nahihirapan kang makayanan ang lahat ng ito.

You can't take anymore.

Hindi mo na kaya.

You are snowed under.

Ikaw ay niyebe sa ilalim.

Okay, so I often feel snowed under, overwhelmed with work.

Okay, kaya madalas akong nag-snow sa ilalim, nalulula sa trabaho.

But the other thing that I find hard in the colder months is my battle with

Ngunit ang iba pang bagay na nahihirapan ako sa mas malamig na mga buwan ay ang aking pakikipaglaban sa

my sweet tooth is often more tricky.

aking matamis na ngipin ay kadalasang mas nakakalito.

It's a more fierce battle, should we say, in the winter months.

Ito ay isang mas mabangis na labanan, dapat nating sabihin, sa mga buwan ng taglamig.

Something about being cold makes me crave sugar and it makes me crave things

Isang bagay tungkol sa pagiging malamig ang dahilan kung bakit ako nanabik sa asukal at nagdudulot sa akin ng pagnanasa ng mga bagay

like a nice hot chocolate with melted marshmallows and chocolate biscuits and

tulad ng isang masarap na mainit na tsokolate na may mga tinunaw na marshmallow at tsokolate na biskwit at

just chocolate, chocolate in any form.

tsokolate lang, tsokolate sa kahit anong anyo.

And also things like cakes and, oh, just liqueurs as well.

At pati na rin ang mga bagay tulad ng mga cake at, oh, mga liqueur lang din.

I'm not a big drinker of alcohol, but I do like a sweet liqueur

Hindi ako masyadong umiinom ng alak, ngunit gusto ko ang matamis na liqueur

on a cold winter's evening.

sa gabi ng malamig na taglamig.

So, I have this very fierce battle going on across the winter months to

Kaya, mayroon akong napakabangis na labanan na nangyayari sa mga buwan ng taglamig upang

keep control of my cravings for sugar.

mapanatili ang kontrol sa aking pagnanasa para sa asukal.

What I really need to do, to be honest, is to try and go cold turkey

Ang kailangan ko talagang gawin, sa totoo lang, ay subukang mag-cold turkey

and just cut it out completely.

at putulin lang ito nang buo.

Now, to go cold turkey, is our next phrase, and this means

Ngayon, to go cold turkey, ay ang aming susunod na parirala, at ang ibig sabihin nito

to give something up abruptly.

ay isuko ang isang bagay nang biglaan.

So often when you are giving up something that you're addicted to, then you

Kaya madalas kapag ibinibigay mo ang isang bagay na ikaw ay gumon sa, pagkatapos ay

might wean yourself off, to wean off.

maaari mong awatan ang iyong sarili off, upang mawalay.

That's another interesting phrasal verb.

Iyan ay isa pang kawili-wiling phrasal verb.

It means to give up something gently, incrementally.

Nangangahulugan ito na isuko ang isang bagay nang malumanay, paunti-unti.

Bit by bit, step by step.

Paunti-unti, hakbang-hakbang.

So, if you are going to wean yourself off sugar, then you might

Kaya, kung aalisin mo ang iyong sarili sa asukal, maaari mo

just start day by day reducing the amount of sugary snacks you have.

na lang simulan araw-araw na bawasan ang dami ng matamis na meryenda na mayroon ka.

You still have sugar, but just a little bit, not as much as before, and you

Mayroon ka pa ring asukal, ngunit kaunti lang, hindi na kasing dami ng dati, at

reduce it down and down and down until you're hardly having any sugar at all.

binabawasan mo ito pababa at pababa at pababa hanggang sa halos wala ka nang asukal.

But to go cold turkey, to go cold turkey is to completely give up straight

Ngunit ang maging cold turkey, ang maging cold turkey ay ang ganap na pagsuko kaagad

away, have no sugar whatsoever, or whatever it is you're trying to give up.

, walang anumang asukal, o anuman ang sinusubukan mong isuko.

You give up abruptly, suddenly, and that can be hard.

Bigla kang sumuko, bigla, at maaaring mahirap iyon.

That usually means that you have a few days of hell while you are

Iyon ay karaniwang nangangahulugan na mayroon kang ilang araw ng impiyerno habang ikaw ay

dealing with your withdrawal.

nakikitungo sa iyong pag-withdraw.

So we talk about having withdrawal symptoms.

Kaya pinag-uusapan natin ang pagkakaroon ng withdrawal symptoms.

Often if you give up something like caffeine abruptly, if you go cold

Kadalasan kung bigla kang sumuko sa isang bagay tulad ng caffeine, kung lumalamig ka sa

turkey and give up all caffeine, when you usually have a lot of caffeine in

turkey at isuko ang lahat ng caffeine, kapag kadalasan ay marami kang caffeine sa

your diet, then you'll have withdrawal symptoms like a headache or you

iyong diyeta, magkakaroon ka ng mga sintomas ng withdrawal tulad ng pananakit ng ulo o

might feel quite tired and grumpy.

maaari kang makaramdam ng pagod at masungit.

Oh, I'm just looking out the window, and there's a fox in my garden.

Oh, nakatingin lang ako sa bintana, at may isang soro sa aking hardin.

He's a beautiful fox.

Siya ay isang magandang fox.

And he looks lovely against the snow.

At siya ay mukhang maganda laban sa niyebe.

He's got a big bushy tail and he is, he's looking quite fat,

Malaki ang buntot niya at siya nga, mukha siyang mataba,

actually, usually the foxes around here look a little bit skinny.

actually, kadalasan medyo payat ang mga fox sa paligid.

You know, they're city foxes.

Alam mo, sila ay mga fox ng lungsod.

They look a bit grubby and a little bit skinny, but this chap

Medyo masungit at medyo payat ang itsura nila, pero

looks like a real winter fox.

mukhang totoong winter fox ang chap na ito.

Very bushy and like tawny, like burnt orange red kind of colour.

Napaka palumpong at parang kayumanggi, parang sinunog na kulay kahel na pula.

Beautiful.

Maganda.

Absolutely beautiful.

talagang maganda.

So anyway, back to going cold turkey.

Kaya gayon pa man, bumalik sa malamig na pabo.

Yeah, I thought once about going cold turkey and doing a zero sugar

Oo, naisip ko minsan ang tungkol sa pagpunta sa malamig na pabo at paggawa ng zero sugar

diet, like cutting it out completely.

diet, tulad ng ganap na pagputol nito.

But after the first few hours, I got cold feet.

Ngunit pagkatapos ng unang ilang oras, nanlamig ang mga paa ko.

I just decided I couldn't do it.

Nagpasya na lang ako na hindi ko magagawa.

To get cold feet is to feel like you can't do it.

Upang makakuha ng malamig na paa ay pakiramdam na hindi mo ito magagawa.

So you are committed to something and then if you get

Kaya nakatuon ka sa isang bagay at pagkatapos kung nanlamig ka

cold feet, you have your doubts.

, mayroon kang mga pagdududa.

That's a good way to explain it, to doubt something.

Iyan ay isang magandang paraan upang ipaliwanag ito, upang pagdudahan ang isang bagay.

So we often use this phrase when someone's about to make a

Kaya madalas nating ginagamit ang pariralang ito kapag may isang taong gumawa ng isang

big commitment like marriage.

malaking pangako tulad ng kasal.

So imagining your best friend is about to get married and then the

Kaya't ang pag-imagine ng iyong matalik na kaibigan ay malapit nang ikasal at pagkatapos ng

day before the wedding they start talking about, how awful married life

araw bago ang kasal ay nagsimula silang mag-usap, kung gaano kahirap ang buhay mag-asawa

might be, and they just seem a bit jittery, a bit nervous and anxious.

, at tila sila ay medyo kinakabahan, medyo kinakabahan at nababalisa.

Then you might say to them, "you're not getting cold feet are you?

Pagkatapos ay maaari mong sabihin sa kanila, "hindi ka nilalamig paa?

I hope you are not getting cold feet."

Sana hindi ka nilalamig."

"Oh, no, no, no, no.

"Naku, hindi, hindi, hindi.

I'm not getting cold feet.

Hindi ako nilalamig.

I'm just a bit nervous.

Medyo kinakabahan lang ako.

What if it doesn't work out?"

Paano kung hindi natuloy?"

Okay, so to get cold feet is to feel doubt about something you're about to do.

Okay, kaya upang makakuha ng malamig na paa ay pakiramdam ng pagdududa tungkol sa isang bagay na iyong gagawin.

So, the thing is with sugar and especially a Western diet.

Kaya, ang bagay ay may asukal at lalo na ang isang diyeta sa Kanluran.

Our general Western diet is the sugar that's obvious, like sweets and biscuits

Ang aming pangkalahatang pagkain sa Kanluran ay ang asukal na halata, tulad ng mga matatamis at biskwit

and the sugar that people add to tea.

at ang asukal na idinaragdag ng mga tao sa tsaa.

That is just the tip of the iceberg.

Iyon lang ang dulo ng malaking bato ng yelo.

Because actually sugar is such a huge part of everything that we eat, unless

Dahil talagang ang asukal ay napakalaking bahagi ng lahat ng ating kinakain, maliban kung

you have like a whole foods diet.

mayroon kang isang buong pagkain na diyeta.

Sugar is in our bread, sugar is in pasta.

Ang asukal ay nasa aming tinapay, ang asukal ay nasa pasta.

You have a kind of a starch, um, uh, I can't remember what they call it.

Mayroon kang isang uri ng almirol, um, uh, hindi ko matandaan kung ano ang tawag nila dito.

Is it like complex sugars?

Ito ba ay tulad ng mga kumplikadong asukal?

Are in things like potatoes as well, so you know, it's hard to escape sugars.

Nasa mga bagay din tulad ng patatas, kaya alam mo, mahirap takasan ang mga asukal.

Then you've got fructose and fruit sugars.

Pagkatapos ay mayroon kang fructose at fruit sugars.

Even if you have a whole foods diet, you are going to have sugar

Kahit na mayroon kang isang buong pagkain na diyeta, magkakaroon ka ng asukal

in some form in parts of your diet.

sa ilang anyo sa mga bahagi ng iyong diyeta.

It's very hard to completely eliminate sugar.

Napakahirap ganap na alisin ang asukal.

It's very, very hard, especially if you have a busy life and you don't

Ito ay napaka, napakahirap, lalo na kung mayroon kang isang abalang buhay at wala kang

have the time to research, to plan, to shop, and to cook and prepare all

oras upang magsaliksik, magplano, mamili, at magluto at maghanda ng lahat

the food that you need to prepare.

ng pagkain na kailangan mong ihanda.

Now, I said that our sugar addiction, the basic sugars that we are familiar

Ngayon, sinabi ko na ang aming pagkagumon sa asukal, ang mga pangunahing asukal na pamilyar

with, that's the tip of the iceberg.

sa amin, iyon ang dulo ng malaking bato ng yelo.

If something is the tip of the iceberg, then it's just a small,

Kung ang isang bagay ay ang dulo ng malaking bato ng yelo, kung gayon ito ay isang maliit,

visible part of the problem.

nakikitang bahagi ng problema.

So, for example, I might have some swelling in my finger, in my thumb joint.

Kaya, halimbawa, maaaring magkaroon ako ng kaunting pamamaga sa aking daliri, sa aking kasukasuan ng hinlalaki.

My thumb might start to swell.

Baka mamaga ang hinlalaki ko.

The joint in my thumb might start to swell.

Ang kasukasuan ng aking hinlalaki ay maaaring magsimulang mamaga.

And you say, "oh, your thumb looks quite swollen".

At sasabihin mo, "naku, mukhang namamaga ang hinlalaki mo".

I'll say, "yes, yes.

Sasabihin ko, "oo, oo.

It's quite a problem actually."

Medyo problema talaga."

"Oh, well it's just a swollen thumb joint.

"Naku, namamaga lang yung thumb joint.

Just needs some anti-inflammatory."

Kailangan lang ng anti-inflammatory."

"No, no, no.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

"Hindi, hindi, hindi.

mga problemang ito na wala kang ideya dahil hindi sila nakikita."

So, this little visible part of my problem is just the tip of the iceberg.

Kaya, ang maliit na nakikitang bahagi ng aking problema ay dulo lamang ng malaking bato ng yelo.

And of course if you think about a true iceberg, what you see coming out

na gumagawa ng Iniisip ko ang tungkol sa Titanic.

Now, hands up if you are a fan of the film, Titanic.

Ngayon, itaas kung fan ka ng pelikula, Titanic.

Obviously based on a real, tragic event back in 1912, if I remember

Malinaw na batay sa isang tunay, kalunos-lunos na pangyayari noong 1912, kung

correctly, of the huge ship, the first of its kind that on its maiden voyage.

tama ang pagkakaalala ko, ng malaking barko, ang una sa uri nito na sa unang paglalayag nito.

A maiden voyage is, a ship's very first outing, first voyage.

Ang isang maiden voyage ay, ang pinakaunang outing ng barko, ang unang paglalayag.

Its maiden voyage from, where did it go from?

Mula sa unang paglalakbay nito, saan ito nagmula?

Was it from Liverpool to New York?

Mula ba ito sa Liverpool hanggang New York?

I can't remember where it set off from.

Hindi ko maalala kung saan ito nagmula.

I think it was Liverpool to New York and it hit an iceberg.

Sa tingin ko ito ay Liverpool sa New York at ito ay tumama sa isang malaking bato ng yelo.

And it was surprising for many, first that the iceberg did so much damage.

At ito ay nakakagulat para sa marami, una na ang iceberg ay gumawa ng napakaraming pinsala.

And that's because icebergs are so dangerous 'cause we don't know how

At iyon ay dahil napakadelikado ng mga iceberg dahil hindi natin alam kung gaano

You only see the tip, but it's a huge mass under the water.

Nakikita mo lamang ang dulo, ngunit ito ay isang malaking masa sa ilalim ng tubig.

And then people were also surprised by the fact that this supposedly unsinkable ship

At pagkatapos ay nagulat din ang mga tao sa katotohanan na ang diumano'y hindi nalulubog na barko

ended up sinking on its maiden voyage.

ay tuluyang lumubog sa kanyang unang paglalayag.

I mean, it's just irony for you, isn't it?

I mean, irony lang para sayo, di ba?

Very ironic and unfortunate.

Napaka-ironic at kapus-palad.

Yes, I digress.

Oo, lumihis ako.

Let's get back onto the topic.

Balik tayo sa topic.

So, tip of the iceberg.

Kaya, dulo ng malaking bato ng yelo.

What other phrases have we had so far?

Ano ang iba pang mga parirala na mayroon tayo sa ngayon?

We've had freezing cold, brr, to be snowed in, under a heavy blanket of snow.

Nagkaroon kami ng napakalamig na lamig, brr, na paulanan ng niyebe, sa ilalim ng mabigat na kumot ng niyebe.

Ah, something I didn't mention, which is very important.

Ah, isang bagay na hindi ko nabanggit, na napakahalaga.

If it is freezing cold and you are snowed in, or if there's just a blanket of snow

Kung napakalamig at na-snow ka, o kung may kumot lang ng niyebe

outside, then you want to wrap up warm.

sa labas, gusto mong balutin nang mainit.

Wrap up warm, and this is something we use very, commonly, very regularly.

Balutin nang mainit, at ito ay isang bagay na ginagamit namin nang napaka, karaniwan, napaka regular.

We tell people to wrap up warm, it's cold outside.

Sinasabi namin sa mga tao na magbalot ng mainit, malamig sa labas.

Or I might say, "I need to wrap up warm.

O maaari kong sabihin, "Kailangan kong balutin nang mainit.

It's freezing" and it just means to cover yourself in lots of layers to

Nagyeyelo" at nangangahulugan lamang ito na takpan ang iyong sarili sa maraming layer upang

wear very warm clothes in order to keep your temperature up in the cold weather.

magsuot ng napakainit na damit upang mapanatili ang iyong temperatura sa malamig na panahon.

So, wrap up warm because it's freezing cold, but you

Kaya, balutin ang mainit-init dahil napakalamig, ngunit

know, cold hands, warm heart.

alam mo, malamig na mga kamay, mainit na puso.

Useless saying.

Walang kwentang kasabihan.

If you don't wrap up warm, you might end up under the weather, which will be

Kung hindi ka magbalot ng mainit, maaari kang mapunta sa ilalim ng lagay ng panahon, na magiging

sa trabaho at gumana sa lahat ng mga cylinder.

To be functioning on all cylinders means everything's full energy.

Ang paggana sa lahat ng mga cylinder ay nangangahulugan ng buong enerhiya ng lahat.

You're functioning full energy, you are fully aware.

Gumagana ka nang buong lakas, ganap mong nalalaman.

Everything's 100%, but if you're under the weather, then you are not 100%.

Lahat ay 100%, ngunit kung ikaw ay nasa ilalim ng panahon, kung gayon hindi ka 100%.

And then we talked about sugar, didn't we?

At pagkatapos ay napag-usapan natin ang tungkol sa asukal, hindi ba?

I talked about having a sweet tooth and the fact that I should go cold

Napag-usapan ko ang tungkol sa pagkakaroon ng isang matamis na ngipin at ang katotohanan na dapat akong mag-cold

I have my doubts.

Mayroon akong mga pagdududa.

I think to myself, I can't do it, because I know that even the most

It would be very difficult to be completely without sugar.

Napakahirap maging ganap na walang asukal.

So, we had quite a few cold wintery idioms and phrases there.

Kaya, mayroon kaming ilang malamig na mga idyoma at parirala sa taglamig doon.

I'm gonna share a few more with you.

Ibabahagi ko pa sa iyo ang ilan.

So, one phrase you might use to describe a person who is unpredictable,

Kaya, ang isang parirala na maaari mong gamitin upang ilarawan ang isang tao na hindi mahuhulaan,

is the phrase to blow hot and cold.

ay ang pariralang umiinit at malamig.

Now, if you blow hot and cold, it means that your mood changes from

Ngayon, kung mainit at malamig ka, nangangahulugan ito na ang iyong kalooban ay nagbabago mula sa

being a very warm personality.

pagiging isang napaka-mainit na personalidad.

So, when we talk about people being warm, we mean they're friendly,

Kaya, kapag pinag-uusapan natin ang pagiging mainit ng mga tao, ang ibig nating sabihin ay palakaibigan sila,

they're nice, they're warm.

mabait sila, mainit sila.

You might warm to somebody.

Baka mainit ka sa isang tao.

"Oh, I really warmed to him.

"Naku, naiinitan talaga ako sa kanya.

He was very nice."

Napakabait niya."

I felt warm and friendly and nice towards this person.

Nakaramdam ako ng init at palakaibigan at mabait sa taong ito.

But if someone blows cold, then you know, if they're icy, you can

Ngunit kung ang isang tao ay nanlamig, alam mo, kung siya ay nagyeyelo, maaari mong

describe someone as being quite icy.

ilarawan ang isang tao bilang medyo nagyeyelo.

Then they're not very friendly, they don't make you feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Tapos hindi sila masyadong palakaibigan, hindi nila pinaparamdam sa iyo na mainit at malabo sa loob.

So, if someone blows hot and cold, then they really switch between

Kaya, kung ang isang tao ay umiinit at malamig, pagkatapos ay talagang lumipat sila sa pagitan

being friendly and being unfriendly.

ng pagiging palakaibigan at pagiging hindi palakaibigan.

So, with these kinds of people, you don't know where you stand.

Kaya, sa mga ganitong uri ng tao, hindi mo alam kung saan ka nakatayo.

You don't know if they like you or not.

Hindi mo alam kung gusto ka nila o hindi.

You don't know if they're going to be happy or if they're

Hindi mo alam kung matutuwa ba sila o magagalit

going to be angry and agitated.

at magagalit.

You don't know if they're annoyed with you and if you've done something wrong.

Hindi mo alam kung naiinis sila sayo at kung may nagawa kang mali.

It's really hard to know with someone who blows hot and cold what is going on.

Mahirap talagang malaman sa isang taong mainit at malamig kung ano ang nangyayari.

So, to blow hot and cold.

Kaya, upang pumutok ng mainit at malamig.

And another one similar to this is to go hot and cold.

At isa pang katulad nito ay ang maging mainit at malamig.

You might say, "oh, it just went all hot and cold.

Maaari mong sabihin, "naku, naging mainit at malamig ang lahat.

I just went all hot and cold."

Nag-init at malamig lang ako."

This is, although it sounds very similar to the previous one, to go hot and

Ito ay, bagama't ito ay halos kapareho sa nauna, ang maging mainit at

cold is a way of describing a feeling of being shocked or stunned usually

malamig ay isang paraan ng paglalarawan ng isang pakiramdam ng pagkagulat o pagkatulala kadalasan

because it's, you know, bad news.

dahil ito ay, alam mo, masamang balita.

So, perhaps you hear that trip that you've been planning for over a year

Kaya, marahil narinig mo ang paglalakbay na iyon na pinaplano mo nang higit sa isang taon

and you've spent a lot of money on.

at gumastos ka ng maraming pera.

Perhaps you hear the news that everyone's going on strike, which is something

Marahil ay naririnig mo ang balita na ang lahat ay nagwewelga, na isang bagay

na nangyayari sa UK sa ngayon.

It seems like everyone is going on strike, which is causing havoc, especially for

those who are travelling over this period.

mga naglalakbay sa panahong ito.

So if I hear that this trip of a lifetime that I've put a lot of energy and

Kaya't kung mabalitaan kong ang paglalakbay na ito sa buong buhay ko na pinaglaanan ko ng maraming lakas at

finance into is potentially going to be cancelled because of strikes, then

pananalapi ay posibleng makansela dahil sa mga strike,

I might suddenly go all hot and cold.

baka bigla akong mag-init at malamig.

"Oh, what?

"Oh, ano?

Is my flight still going ahead?

Tuloy pa ba ang flight ko?

Oh, I just went all hot and cold for a minute there, phew.

Naku, saglit lang akong nag-init at malamig doon, phew.

My flight is still going.

Tuloy pa rin ang flight ko.

I'm very pleased about that."

I'm very pleased about that."

So to blow hot and cold, and to go hot and cold.

Kaya't uminit at malamig, at uminit at malamig.

Very similar, but very different.

Magkatulad, ngunit ibang-iba.

Now, in the cold light of day, this is a great phrase.

Ngayon, sa malamig na liwanag ng araw, ito ay isang mahusay na parirala.

This means in reality.

Nangangahulugan ito sa katotohanan.

When you see something in the cold light of day, then you

Kapag nakakita ka ng isang bagay sa malamig na liwanag ng araw,

see it for what it really is.

makikita mo ito kung ano talaga ito.

We often use this phrase when talking about a decision that's been made

Madalas naming ginagamit ang pariralang ito kapag pinag-uusapan ang tungkol sa isang desisyong nagawa na

probably a little bit too quickly.

marahil ay medyo masyadong mabilis.

So, if you make a decision, maybe to commit to something that's too

Kaya, kung magpapasya ka, maaaring mag-commit sa isang bagay na sobra

much or to spend money on a product that's too expensive, or to agree

o gumastos ng pera sa isang produkto na masyadong mahal, o sumang-ayon

to something like moving in with your boyfriend or girlfriend.

sa isang bagay tulad ng paglipat sa iyong kasintahan o kasintahan.

In the cold light of day, you might look at that decision and think,

Sa malamig na liwanag ng araw, maaari mong tingnan ang desisyong iyon at isipin,

actually, that was the wrong decision.

sa totoo lang, iyon ang maling desisyon.

So to see something in the cold light of day is to see something in

Kaya't ang makakita ng isang bagay sa malamig na liwanag ng araw ay ang makakita ng isang bagay sa

reality with a level head, a clear mind, and we usually use it when

realidad na may antas ng ulo, malinaw na pag-iisip, at karaniwan nating ginagamit ito kapag

talking about regret of a decision.

pinag-uusapan ang pagsisisi sa isang desisyon.

Or changing our mind about a decision we made when we weren't thinking

O pagbabago ng ating isip tungkol sa isang desisyon na ginawa natin noong hindi tayo nag-iisip

straight or in the heat of the moment.

ng tama o sa init ng sandali.

So there we go.

Kaya ayun.

Heat and cold.

Ang init at lamig.

You make a decision in the heat of the moment.

Gumagawa ka ng desisyon sa init ng sandali.

Sometimes we feel passionate and we make a quick decision in the heat of the

Minsan nakakaramdam tayo ng passion at mabilis tayong gumagawa ng desisyon sa init ng

moment, but then in the cold light of day, we realise that was the wrong decision.

sandali, ngunit sa malamig na liwanag ng araw, napagtanto natin na maling desisyon iyon.

Now, I'm sure I've been in this situation many times.

Ngayon, sigurado akong maraming beses na akong nasa ganitong sitwasyon.

Can I think of one occasion right now off the top of my head?

Maaari ba akong mag-isip ng isang pagkakataon ngayon sa tuktok ng aking ulo?

Off the top of my head, that means right now, in the moment without preparing.

Off the top of my head, ibig sabihin sa ngayon, sa sandaling hindi naghahanda.

Can I think of a time when I made a decision in the heat of the

Maaari ba akong mag-isip ng isang pagkakataon na gumawa ako ng isang desisyon sa init ng

sandali at pagkatapos ay pinagsisihan ito sa kalaunan?

Yes, I decided, when I was younger, to enroll on a course

Oo, nagpasya ako, noong bata pa ako, na mag-enroll sa isang kurso

to become a driving instructor.

para maging driving instructor.

I enrolled on the course because I was convinced by a salesperson that

Nag-enroll ako sa kurso dahil nakumbinsi ako ng isang salesperson na

it was the best side job I could do while I was studying and it was a

ito ang pinakamagandang side job na magagawa ko habang ako ay nag-aaral at ito ay isang

remote job, so I could do it anywhere in the world or in the UK at least.

malayong trabaho, kaya maaari ko itong gawin kahit saan sa mundo o sa UK man lang.

And so it would be a good thing for my future as well to have this side hustle.

At kaya ito ay magiging isang magandang bagay para sa aking hinaharap pati na rin ang magkaroon ng ganitong side hustle.

I made a split decision in the heat of the moment after listening

But then when it came down to it, to actually doing the course, the amount of

sa pagiging driving instructor.

I hate being sat in a car for hours and hours and hours, and it was a

trabaho, binigay ko ito sa huli.

I had to cut my losses.

Kinailangan kong putulin ang mga pagkalugi ko.

To cut your losses is to walk away from something, even when you've lost,

Ang bawasan ang iyong mga pagkalugi ay ang paglayo sa isang bagay, kahit na natalo ka, sa

either financially or maybe you've put in a lot of effort, a lot of time, and

pananalapi o marahil ay naglagay ka ng maraming pagsisikap, maraming oras, at

you just have to say, I've lost that.

masasabi mo lang, nawala ko iyon.

I can't get that back, but I'm not going to lose anymore.

Hindi ko na iyon maibabalik, ngunit hindi na ako magpapatalo.

I'm just going to cut my losses and walk away.

Puputulin ko na lang ang mga pagkalugi ko at lalayo.

So I lost quite a lot of money, but I decided it just wasn't for me.

Kaya medyo malaki ang nawala sa akin, ngunit napagpasyahan kong hindi ito para sa akin.

It was taking too much time and it was continuous money I was having

Ito ay tumatagal ng masyadong maraming oras at ito ay patuloy na pera na kailangan kong

ilagay sa pagsasanay na ito at naisip ko, hindi na ako magbabayad.

It's not for me.

Hindi ito para sa akin.

I'm gonna walk away.

lalayo na ako.

So I cut my losses and I walked away.

Kaya pinutol ko ang mga pagkatalo ko at lumayo ako.

In the cold light of day, I made the right decision.

Sa malamig na liwanag ng araw, gumawa ako ng tamang desisyon.

Have you ever made a decision like that?

Nakagawa ka na ba ng ganoong desisyon?

A heat of the moment decision that you regretted in the cold light of day.

Isang init ng sandali na desisyon na iyong pinagsisihan sa malamig na liwanag ng araw.

Okay, so we've had, to blow hot and cold, to go hot and cold -whew, in the heat of

Okay, kaya nagkaroon kami ng, uminit at malamig, uminit at malamig -whew, sa init ng

the moment, and in the cold light of day.

sandali, at sa malamig na liwanag ng araw.

Now, to add fuel to the fire, this is a phrase, which means you

Ngayon, upang magdagdag ng panggatong sa apoy, ito ay isang parirala, na nangangahulugang

are giving even more agitation to an already agitated situation.

nagbibigay ka ng higit pang pagkabalisa sa isang nababagabag na sitwasyon.

So, if someone is annoyed that you borrowed their car without asking and

Kaya, kung may naiinis na hiniram mo ang kotse niya nang hindi nagtatanong at

they're shouting at you, "I can't believe you borrowed my car without asking.

sinisigawan ka, "Hindi ako makapaniwalang hiniram mo ang kotse ko nang hindi nagtatanong.

That's terrible.

Grabe.

How dare you?"

How dare you?"

And then you say to them, "I crashed your car while I was

At pagkatapos ay sasabihin mo sa kanila, "Nabangga ko ang iyong sasakyan habang nasa

out, and it's a complete mess."

labas ako, at ito ay isang ganap na gulo."

Then you are adding fuel to the fire.

Pagkatapos ay nagdaragdag ka ng panggatong sa apoy.

You are going to make that person explode with anger.

Papasabog mo ang taong iyon sa galit.

So to add fuel to the fire is, you can see it visually, can't you?

Kaya para magdagdag ng gasolina sa apoy ay, makikita mo ito sa paningin, hindi ba?

If you have a fire that's burning.

Kung mayroon kang apoy na nasusunog.

And you add fuel to it, what's gonna happen?

At dagdagan mo ito ng gasolina, ano ang mangyayari?

The fire is going to become more intense.

Ang apoy ay magiging mas matindi.

So, adding fuel to a metaphorical fire is just giving it reason

Kaya, ang pagdaragdag ng gasolina sa isang metaporikal na apoy ay nagbibigay lamang ng dahilan

to be even more intense.

upang maging mas matindi.

Usually fire represents passion.

Karaniwan ang apoy ay kumakatawan sa pagsinta.

In this case, it's usually anger, so it's a negative passion.

Sa kasong ito, kadalasan ito ay galit, kaya ito ay isang negatibong simbuyo ng damdamin.

So, to add fuel to the fire, to make a situation seem worse or

Kaya, upang magdagdag ng panggatong sa apoy, upang gawing mas masahol pa ang isang sitwasyon o

make someone feel more angry.

maging mas galit ang isang tao.

Now, talking about things growing.

Ngayon, pinag-uusapan ang mga bagay na lumalaki.

Our next phrase is the snowball effect.

Ang aming susunod na parirala ay ang snowball effect.

A snowball effect.

Isang snowball effect.

When we talk about a snowball effect, we're talking about something

Kapag pinag-uusapan natin ang tungkol sa epekto ng snowball, pinag-uusapan natin ang tungkol sa isang bagay

becoming greater, becoming bigger than it was when it started.

na nagiging mas malaki, nagiging mas malaki kaysa noong nagsimula ito.

So, imagine you have a teeny tiny little snowball and you continue to roll it,

Kaya, isipin na mayroon kang isang maliit na maliit na maliit na snowball at patuloy mong igulong ito,

roll it, roll it through the snow.

igulong ito, igulong ito sa niyebe.

It will get bigger and bigger and bigger.

Ito ay palaki ng palaki at palaki.

So, if something is a snowball effect, then it's something that's growing.

Kaya, kung ang isang bagay ay isang epekto ng snowball, kung gayon ito ay isang bagay na lumalaki.

You could say that a trend has a snowball effect.

Maaari mong sabihin na ang isang trend ay may epekto ng snowball.

If one person tries doing something new on social media, with a new piece of music

Kung ang isang tao ay sumusubok na gumawa ng bago sa social media, gamit ang isang bagong piraso ng musika

and they share it and a few people like it, but then someone with a big following,

at ibinahagi nila ito at ilang mga tao ang nagugustuhan nito, ngunit pagkatapos ay isang taong may malaking tagasunod,

they like it and they copy the trend.

gusto nila ito at kinokopya nila ang trend.

Then it has a snowball effect.

Pagkatapos ay mayroon itong epekto ng snowball.

The more people like it, the more they do it, the bigger the trend grows.

Kung mas maraming tao ang nagugustuhan nito, mas ginagawa nila ito, mas lumalaki ang trend.

So, that is a snowball effect.

Kaya, iyon ay isang epekto ng snowball.

Now, when it comes to trends, there's not a snowball's chance in hell I'm

Ngayon, pagdating sa trend, walang snowball's chance sa impyerno na ako ay

ever going to be one of those social media people who does every trend

magiging isa sa mga taong social media na gumagawa ng lahat ng uso

because it's just, it's just not me.

dahil lang, hindi lang ako.

I just don't have the time.

Wala lang akong time.

So, to have a snowball's chance in hell.

Kaya, upang magkaroon ng pagkakataon ng snowball sa impiyerno.

Or there's not a snowball's chance in hell means there's just no chance.

O walang chance ng snowball sa impyerno ibig sabihin wala lang chance.

Thinking about hell being all fire and brimstone.

Iniisip na ang impiyerno ay puro apoy at asupre.

It's a very hot place, hell, and so a snowball in hell, it's

Ito ay isang napakainit na lugar, impiyerno, at kaya isang snowball sa impiyerno, ito ay

not going to last very long.

hindi magtatagal.

So, a snowball doesn't have a chance of surviving in hell.

Kaya, ang isang snowball ay walang pagkakataon na mabuhay sa impiyerno.

Okay, so there's not a snowball's chance in hell that I'm ever going

Okay, kaya walang snowball na pagkakataon sa impiyerno na ako ay magiging

to be one of these people who does all these social media trends.

isa sa mga taong ito na gumagawa ng lahat ng mga uso sa social media na ito.

In fact, I will do daily trends when hell freezes over.

Sa katunayan, gagawa ako ng pang-araw-araw na uso kapag nag-freeze ang impiyerno.

That's another phrase that you can use to say something is never gonna happen.

Iyon ay isa pang parirala na maaari mong gamitin upang sabihin ang isang bagay ay hindi mangyayari.

I'll do it when hell freezes over because hell is very hot

Gagawin ko ito kapag nag-freeze ang impiyerno dahil napakainit ng impiyerno

and it will never freeze over.

at hinding-hindi ito magyeyelo.

So, moving from snow through to ice.

Kaya, ang paglipat mula sa niyebe hanggang sa yelo.

If you are in a situation where you don't know someone, or it's a little

Kung ikaw ay nasa isang sitwasyon kung saan wala kang kakilala, o medyo

bit awkward, no one's talking, then you might want to try an icebreaker.

awkward, walang nagsasalita, baka gusto mong sumubok ng icebreaker.

An icebreaker.

Isang icebreaker.

You might want to break the ice.

Baka gusto mong basagin ang yelo.

So, this is when the situation is quite icy.

Kaya, ito ay kapag ang sitwasyon ay medyo nagyeyelo.

Nobody's talking to one another.

Walang nagsasalita sa isa't isa.

It feels a bit awkward, it feels icy and cold.

Medyo awkward, parang nagyeyelo at malamig.

And so you might want to tell a joke or simply ask a question

Kaya baka gusto mong magbiro o magtanong lang

in order to break the ice.

para mawala ang yelo.

So, you break the cold atmosphere by trying to encourage conversation.

Kaya, sinisira mo ang malamig na kapaligiran sa pamamagitan ng pagsisikap na hikayatin ang pag-uusap.

Now, a phrase that means to discourage.

Ngayon, isang parirala na ang ibig sabihin ay panghinaan ng loob.

If you need to discourage something you could say to pour cold water on something.

Kung kailangan mong pigilan ang isang bagay, maaari mong sabihin na magbuhos ng malamig na tubig sa isang bagay.

For example, if I break the ice by talking about something generic like

Halimbawa, kung masira ko ang yelo sa pamamagitan ng pag-uusap tungkol sa isang bagay na pangkaraniwan tulad

the weather, but then we move on to talking about politics and that

ng lagay ng panahon, ngunit pagkatapos ay magpapatuloy tayo sa pag-uusap tungkol sa pulitika at iyon ay

becomes a heated discussion which could potentially turn into an argument,

magiging mainit na talakayan na posibleng maging isang pagtatalo,

then I might want to pour cold water on that discussion and change the

kung gayon maaari kong buhusan iyon ng malamig na tubig. talakayan at baguhin

subject completely, to stop it becoming too heated, too angry, too awkward.

nang lubusan ang paksa, upang hindi na ito maging masyadong mainit, masyadong galit, masyadong awkward.

Another phrase that uses the word ice is to be on thin ice

Ang isa pang parirala na gumagamit ng salitang yelo ay ang pagiging nasa manipis na yelo

or to be walking on thin ice.

o ang paglalakad sa manipis na yelo.

This means that you are in a precarious, a dangerous situation.

Nangangahulugan ito na ikaw ay nasa isang delikado, isang mapanganib na sitwasyon.

You are perhaps behaving in a way that will get you into

Marahil ay kumikilos ka sa paraang magdudulot sa iyo ng

trouble if you're not careful.

problema kung hindi ka mag-iingat.

For example, you are at work and you keep breaking the rules.

Halimbawa, nasa trabaho ka at patuloy kang lumalabag sa mga patakaran.

Not in a big way, just in a little way, but you keep doing it and

Hindi sa malaking paraan, sa maliit na paraan, ngunit patuloy mong ginagawa ito at

you've had a few warnings, but you keep bending those rules, behaving
