"Ah, a toe!"

Well, I knew instantly because my, when I fell, my legs went out to the side and

嗯，我立刻就知道了，因为当我跌倒时，我的腿向一侧伸出，

with our little banisters going down.

This is horrendous.

I think you have to do that within the first like, five seconds.

Here.

Nick said, "I could have gone 50/50 on that."

这里。

尼克说：“我本来可以选择 50/50 的。”

What he meant was, there was a 50 percent chance that he would have been right, no

他的意思是， 无论他猜的是左还是右

matter what he had guessed, left or right.

，他都有百分之五十的可能性是对的 。

It was one of them.

这是其中之一。

So, he was saying, 50/50, I could have been right.

所以，他说，50/50，我可能是对的。

So, I should have just tried.

所以，我应该尝试一下。

I should have just guessed left or right.

我应该猜左或右。

And I might have been correct.

我可能是对的。

"Yeah, so I was, I must have been like 10 or 11 years old.

“是的，我就是这样，我当时大概10岁或11岁。

I was still at primary school, so hadn't moved on to high school.

我还在读小学，所以没有升入高中。

I was giving someone a piggyback in the playground."

我在操场上背着某人。”

Piggyback.

背驮式。

A piggyback is the act of having someone jump up on your back, and they

背驮式是指有人跳到你的背上，他们

normally put their legs around your waist, and they put their arms around

通常将腿放在你的腰上，用手臂搂住

your shoulders or around your neck.

And you hold them and you walk them.

你握住它们并行走。

So that's a piggyback.

所以这就是一个背驮。

To give someone a piggyback.

And I was the horse and I said, "How fast do you want to go?"

我就是那匹马，我说：“你想跑多快？”

And she said, "As fast as you can go."

So, I was like, "Neigh!"

我想那是秋天，因为我们有泥泞……

do you remember like, like playgrounds they'd always have these like

你还记得吗，像游乐场一样，他们总是有这些

sunken bits where maybe they hadn't done the foundations properly.

凹陷的地方，也许他们没有正确地打好地基。

Right, yeah.

对，是的。

Like sunken concrete.

就像下沉的混凝土一样。

Poor workmanship.

And so, yeah, and then they'd always get full of mud and then

做工很差。

所以，是的，然后它们总是沾满泥土，然后

when it rained they'd just like be little muddy puddles and then..."

下雨的时候，它们就像是泥泞的小水坑，然后……”

Here Nick said poor workmanship.

尼克在这里说的是糟糕的做工。

Poor workmanship is something that's being crafted in a bad way.

糟糕的做工是用一个手工制作的东西。所以

So, if I haven't done a good job at making whatever it is I'm making, then

，如果我在制作我正在制作的东西方面做得不好，那么

you can say, "That's poor workmanship.

你可以说，“这真是糟糕的工艺。

That shows poor workmanship."

这表明做工很差。”

Like if I'm plastering a wall and then painting it and I don't allow the plaster

就像如果我抹灰墙然后粉刷它，而我在把油漆涂在上面之前不让灰泥

to dry properly before throwing the paint on it, it's going to look bad.

完全干燥，它看起来会很糟糕。

It's not going to be a good job.

这不会是一个好工作.

And you say, "Hmm, the paint's a bit shoddy, the plaster all

然后你说，“嗯，油漆有点劣质，灰泥

looks a little bit rushed.

看起来有点仓促。

That's poor workmanship."

这是做工很差的。”

So, when time and effort have not been put into creating something,

所以，当没有投入时间和精力来创造一些东西时，

that results in poor workmanship.

就会导致做工很差。

"This muddy puddle was full of leaves, but it started to dry slightly.

“这个泥坑里满是树叶，但它开始稍微干了。

So, I'm running around as fast as I can with this big girl on my back and...

所以，我背着这个大女孩以最快的速度跑来跑去，然后……

and my foot caught some leaves and I slipped and went like into

我的脚踩到了一些树叶，我滑倒了，就像

full scissor splits 'kapow'."

剪刀劈叉‘kapow’一样。”

Scissor splits.

剪刀劈叉。

Now the splits is when you separate your legs out and

现在是劈叉 。 就是当你分开双腿并且

they go in opposite directions.

它们向相反的方向移动时。

Like flat against the floor, your legs go fully flat against the

就像平放在地板上一样，你的双腿以

floor in opposite directions.

相反的方向完全平放在地板上。

There are two types of splits that you can do.

你可以做两种类型的劈叉。

Scissor splits is where one leg goes forwards and one leg goes backwards,

剪刀式劈叉是一条腿移动的地方向前，一条腿向后，

just like a pair of scissors.

就像一把剪刀。

But the other splits are called box splits.

但其他劈叉称为盒式劈叉。

That's where your legs both go out to the sides.

这就是你的双腿向两侧伸出的地方。

So, one out on the left, one out on the right.

所以，一条在左边，一条在右边。

I did the scissor splits.

我做到了 “由于这个女孩

"And because of the weight of this girl on my back, I was quite

压 在我背上的重量，我变得相当

flexible, but she kind of made me go straight down all the way."

灵活，但她让我一路笔直地往下走。”

To be flexible.

要灵活。

To be flexible just means that you can bend very well.

灵活只是意味着你可以非常弯曲。好吧。

So, if you can stand up straight with your knees locked and bend down to touch

所以，如果你能站直，膝盖锁住，然后弯下腰，

the floor with the palms of your hands, then you are probably quite flexible.

用手掌接触地板，那么你可能相当灵活。

"...full splits.

“......完全劈叉。

Oh really?

哦，真的吗？

Could you do full splits at that point?

你当时能做完全劈叉吗？

Because that's a lot.

因为这很多。是的

Yeah..

For somebody that can't normally do it.

......

对于通常不能做到这一点的人来说。

So, I could if I was warmed up."

所以，如果我热身的话我可以。”

I mentioned being warmed up.

我提到了热身。

We warm up before working out or before performing.

我们在锻炼前或表演前进行热身。

So, we will often warm up our voice or warm up our bodies.

所以，我们经常会热身一下我们的声音或者热身一下我们的身体。

It's just the act of doing some movement to get the blood

这只是做一些运动来让血液

flowing and to get everything ready to perform or to work out.

流动并为执行或锻炼做好一切准备的 行为 。

"But an at a push, completely at a push, but that was too much of a push.

“但是一次推动，完全一次推动，但这推动力太大了。

It was too quick."

太快了。”

Here I said at a push.

这里我一推就说了。

This is a phrase that means if I really have to or at the

这句话的意思是“如果我真的必须这么做，或者

very extremes of my ability.

我已经竭尽全力了。”

So, I can lift 50 pounds at a push.

所以，我一次可以举起 50 磅。

If you really pushed me to my limits, if I really was trying very,

如果你真的把我推到极限，如果我真的非常非常努力

very hard, I could lift 52 pounds.

，我可以举起 52 磅。

So, I might be able to go that extra little bit further if I have to,

因此，如果有必要的话，

or if I'm being strongly encouraged to, or I'm really trying to motivate

或者如果有人强烈鼓励我这样做，或者我真的想激励

myself to go beyond my own limits.

自己超越自己的极限，我也许能够走得更远。

"With weight, and so yeah, I got this really complex fracture

“由于体重，所以，是的，我 的股骨一直

all the way down my femur.

骨折 。

I remember going down and then I blacked out."

我记得摔倒了，然后我就昏了过去。”

Here I use the phrasal verb black out.

这里我使用短语动词 black out。

I said I blacked out.

我说我就黑了。

So, if you black out it means that you faint or become unconscious.

因此，如果您昏厥，则意味着您昏倒或失去知觉。

Now this is not the same as going to sleep.

现在这与睡觉不一样。

Although if you're extremely tired or maybe you've had a few

不过，如果你非常累或者喝了几

drinks then you might say, "Oh, I completely blacked out last night."

杯酒，那么你可能会说：“哦，我昨晚完全昏过去了。”

But it is quite extreme.

但这是相当极端的。

So, this is usually reserved for when you have an accident, if you're hit

因此，这通常是在您发生事故时，如果您

in the head or something shocks you so much that you suddenly fall unconscious.

头部被击中或某些东西使您震惊而突然失去知觉时使用的。

This is blacking out, to blackout.

这就是黑化，黑化。

"And then I remember coming to and everyone stood around me."

“然后我记得我醒了，每个人都站在我周围。”

After that, I said, "When I came to."

然后我说：“当我醒过来的时候。”

To come to, in this context, is when you wake up after

在这种情况下，苏醒是指您在

blacking out or after fainting.

昏厥或昏厥后醒来。

So, you're unconscious for a little while and you finally open your

所以，你昏迷了一会儿，终于睁开了眼睛

eyes and you're back in the room.

，回到了房间。

You have come to.

你已经醒过来了。

"And I pulled my leg in front of me and tried to get up and then my leg

“我把腿拉到身前，试图站起来，然后我的腿

felt like it was just full of concrete.

感觉就像充满了混凝土。

It was like a dead weight just hanging off my body."

就像一个沉重的重量挂在我的身上。”

I describe my leg here as a dead weight.

我在这里将我的腿描述为沉重的负担。

When we talk about dead weights, we just mean a weight or the weight

当我们谈论自重时，我们只是指重量或

of something that is not moving.

不动物体的 重量

So, like and inert object, imagine if you were carrying a huge sack full

。 所以，就像惰性物体一样，想象一下如果你背着一大袋装满

of potatoes, that's a dead weight.

土豆的东西，那是一个自重。

It's just a weight that doesn't help you at all, which is different to

只是一个重量，对你没有任何帮助，这和

picking up a child of the same weight.

抱起同样体重的孩子是不同的。

They move and they're more dynamic.

他们会动，而且更有活力。

And so they're slightly easier to lift because they kind of help you by gripping

因此它们更容易举起，因为它们可以通过抓住

on and adjusting their body and being as light as a feather in their mind.

和调整它们的身体并在头脑中像羽毛一样轻来帮助您。

But if something is a dead weight, then it doesn't help you at all.

但如果某件事是沉重的负担，那么它对你根本没有帮助。

And in this case, my leg was like cut off.

在这种情况下，我的腿就像被砍掉了一样。

My brain had said, "Don't move this leg."

我的大脑说：“不要动这条腿。”

So, it's like my brain had stopped my muscles from responding and

所以，就好像我的大脑阻止了我的肌肉做出反应，

my leg was just hanging off my body and it was really heavy.

我的腿就挂在我的身体上，而且真的很重。

So, my leg was a dead weight.

所以，我的腿很沉重。

"And the teacher was completely unsympathetic and just came up and was

“老师完全没有同情心，只是走过来说

like, "Oh, stop being a hypochondriac."

，‘哦，别再成为疑病症患者了。’

Pull yourself together.

Pull yourself together.

振作起来。

振作起来。

She dragged me up off the floor and I tried to put weight on it.

她把我从地板上拖起来，我试图在上面施加重量。

And again, it felt like a dead weight and it, I just collapsed."

然后再一次，感觉就像是沉重的负担，我就崩溃了。”

I describe myself here as a hypochondriac.

我在这里将自己描述为一个疑病症患者。

A hypochondriac is somebody who is extremely worried about their health.

疑病症患者是极度担心自己健康的人。

And they're usually the kinds of people who go, "Oh no, look,

他们通常是这样的人，“哦，不，看，

I've got a cut on my finger.

我手指上有伤口。

Do you think I need to see a doctor?

你认为我需要看医生吗？

It might be infected.

它可能被感染了。

I might get septicemia, I might die."

我可能会得败血症，我可能死。”

So, a hypochondriac is someone who is excessively concerned and

因此，疑病症患者是指过度关心和

together can seem like you don't care.

I would only use that if you think someone is being melodramatic.

But we do like a bit of sarcasm here in the UK, and that's part of our humour.

但在英国，我们确实喜欢一点讽刺，这是我们幽默的一部分。

We like to say things that just are the complete opposite.

That's why he was called Speedy Gonzales.

这就是为什么他被称为“快速冈萨雷斯”。

And so this little mouse is a character that comes up in regular conversation

当我谈论速度快时，这只小老鼠就会出现在日常对话中。

I'll say, "Oh, I'm like Speedy Gonzales running all over the place."

Yeah, yuck!

And, um..."

是

的，恶心！

Tie off.

specifically to fasten something or hold something, usually at its end.

特指系紧某物或固定某物，通常是在其末端。
