Things Native English Speakers Say - British English Podcast

Hello and welcome to The English Like a Native Podcast.

您好，欢迎来到像母语一样的英语播客。

The listening resource for intermediate to advanced level English learners.

适合中级到高级英语学习者的听力资源。

My name is Anna.

我的名字是安娜。

And my name's Nick.

我的名字叫尼克。

And today we're having a good old chinwag.

今天我们有一个很好的老下巴。

I'm a bit sniffly today, Nick.

我今天有点抽鼻子，尼克。

I've got a little bit of a runny nose, so you'll have to forgive me.

我有点流鼻涕了，所以你得原谅我。

Well, on that note, shall we have a chat about noses?

好吧，说到这里，我们可以谈谈鼻子吗？

What we could do, yeah.

我们能做什么，是的。

Let me just get a tissue.

让我拿张纸巾。

OK, so I said I had a runny nose.

好吧，所以我说我流鼻涕了。

Can we just explain that?

我们可以解释一下吗？

Because if something is runny, well, if you're running then you're actually

因为如果有东西流淌，那么，如果你在跑步，那么你

moving on your two legs quite fast.

的两条腿实际上移动得相当快。

Yeah, quite fast.

是的，相当快。

You might be running away.

你可能会逃跑。

Yes, but if you're runny...

是的，但是如果你流鼻涕……

If your nose is runny, or your eggs could be runny, couldn't they?

如果你流鼻涕，或者你的鸡蛋可能流鼻涕，不是吗？

Or slime could be runny.

或者粘液可能会流淌。

Yeah.

It's a description of the movement style of a substance.

是的。 它是对物质运动方式的描述。

Or a consistency.

或者说是一致性。

Consistency, yeah.

一致性，是的。

So, if your eggs are runny, then they're very soft.

所以，如果你的鸡蛋是稀的，那么它们就很软。

Your porridge could be a bit runny.

你的粥可能有点稀。

But don't go off the subject, Nick.

但别偏离主题，尼克。

Stick to eggs.

坚持吃鸡蛋。

So, runny eggs are very loose eggs, almost like a soft egg, a soft-boiled

所以，流鸡蛋是非常松散的鸡蛋，几乎就像软鸡蛋、半熟

egg, but a hard-boiled egg would have a hard, firm consistency.

鸡蛋，但全熟鸡蛋会有坚硬、坚固的稠度。

I didn't realise we were deep diving into eggs.

我没有意识到我们正在深入研究鸡蛋。

Well, I just thought eggs would be a more polite way of talking

嗯，我只是认为鸡蛋是一种更礼貌的方式来谈论

about the consistency of runny.

流鼻涕的稠度。

So, we like a runny egg, don't we?

那么，我们喜欢流鸡蛋，不是吗？

We like the yolk to be runny.

我们喜欢流淌的蛋黄。

I cannot abide a hard-boiled egg.

我无法忍受煮鸡蛋。

You can't abide a hard-boiled egg.

你无法忍受煮熟的鸡蛋。

No, no.

I think, if somebody in a restaurant gave me eggs on toast and the yolk

不，不。

我想，如果餐馆里有人给我鸡蛋吐司，而且蛋黄

was not runny, I probably wouldn't send it back because I'm British, but

没有流淌，我可能不会把它退回来，因为我是英国人，但

I would be extremely disappointed.

我会非常失望。

You'd be angry on the inside.

你内心一定会生气。

I'd write them a bad Trustpilot review.

我会给他们写一篇糟糕的 Trustpilot 评论。

But you'd have a hard-boiled egg in a ramen or in a salad.

但你会在拉面或沙拉中加入煮鸡蛋。

So in a salad, definitely because I think having a runny yolk on

所以在沙拉中，绝对是因为我认为

salad leaves is a bit weird.

沙拉叶上有流淌的蛋黄有点奇怪。

But, I was actually looking at making a ramen yesterday and you're right

但是，我昨天实际上正在考虑做拉面，你是对的

that they would normally do it as a hard-boiled egg, but I would still try

，他们通常会把它作为煮鸡蛋来做，但我仍然会尝试

and get it on the runnier side of hard.

把它放在更流动的硬面上。

Right.

Okay.

正确的。

好的。

Mm.

So, if you have a runny nose, then it just means that the mucus in your

毫米。 所以，如果你流鼻涕，那就说明你

nose, which is quite disgusting, is quite loose, and therefore you

鼻子里的粘液很恶心，很松散，所以你

have to keep blowing your nose.

必须不停地擤鼻涕。

So, I do have a little bit of a runny nose.

所以，我确实有点流鼻涕。

I fear that I may have a cold coming on.

我担心我会感冒。

But, I'm well in myself, so you just have to put up with my constant

但是，我自己很好，所以你只能忍受我不断的

sniffles, unfortunately, Nick.

抽鼻子，不幸的是，尼克。

I'll do my best.

我将尽我所能。

You can cope.

I'll try.

你可以应付。

我会尽力。

You'll manage.

你会处理的。

So, thinking about the word nose, it's actually used in quite a

那么，想想鼻子这个词，它实际上用在很多

lot of English phrases, isn't it?

英语短语中，不是吗？

The thing that comes to mind straight away is to be nosy.

我立刻想到的就是多管闲事。

What does it mean to be nosy?

多管闲事是什么意思？

Well, it's like, your nose is the bit that sticks out the farthest.

嗯，就像，你的鼻子是伸出最远的部分。

On your face.

Yes.

在你的脸上。

是的。 因此，如果您对某件事非常感兴趣，您可能会离

And so if you are very interested in something, you might be getting very

close with your face and you might stick your nose in a bit too far.

自己的脸很近，而鼻子可能会伸得太远。

So, being nosy is being overly inquisitive, looking into things

所以，多管闲事就是过度好奇，调查一些

that maybe are not your business.

可能与你无关的事情。

Right.

So it's about curiosity.

正确的。

所以这与好奇心有关。

It's funny though, because you used the word inquisitive, and curious,

不过这很有趣，因为你用了“好奇”和“好奇”这个词，

which I think are both beautiful English words and quite positive.

我认为这都是美丽的英语单词，而且非常积极。

I think it's quite a good thing to be inquisitive and curious, although they

我认为好奇心强是件好事，尽管有人

do say that curiosity killed the cat.

说好奇心害死猫。

But the word nosy doesn't have that positive connotation, does it?

但八卦这个词并没有那么积极的含义，不是吗？

No, it has negative connotations.

不，它有负面含义。

It's something you would say if you weren't being very

我想 ，如果你对某人不太

polite about somebody, I think.

有礼貌，你就会这么说。

So it's not nice to call someone nosy?

所以说别人多管闲事不是很好吗？

No.

不，

I mean, it's not like a swear word, is it?

我的意思是，这不像脏话，是吗？

No.

And it's not really offensive, but it's not kind.

不。 这并不是真正的冒犯，但也不友善。

Well, it's slang, I think.

嗯，我想这是俚语。

I think it derives from slang.

我认为它源自俚语。

So, if you are nosy, then you are quite curious and you're interested

所以，如果你爱管闲事，那么你就很好奇，并且

in other people's business.

对其他人的事感兴趣。

You're interested in things that are going on with other

您对与 您无关的

people that don't involve you.

其他人发生的事情感兴趣

So, like, if you are arranging to go and have a day out with your friends, and

。 所以，就像，如果你安排去和你的朋友出去玩一天，但

I'm not invited for some reason, because you don't like me maybe, and I am asking

出于某种原因我没有被邀请，因为你可能不喜欢我，我会问

you lots of questions and showing lots of interest, too much interest, then

你很多问题并展示很多兴趣，兴趣太大，那就

you could say that I was being nosy.

可以说我多管闲事了。

And you might say to me,

你可能会对我说：

"Anna, stop being so nosy."

“安娜，别再多管闲事了。”

It's like if you were saying to me, "I'm trying to think about what you've

就好像你对我说：“我在想你

got me for Christmas or my birthday."

给我准备了什么圣诞节或生日礼物。”

As a present.

作为礼物。

Yeah, as a present.

是的，作为礼物。

Or, it was under the tree and you were giving it a shake and saying,

或者，它在树下，你摇晃它并说：

"I want to know what it is."

“我想知道它是什么。”

I'd say,

我会说：

"Stop being so nosy."

“别这么多管闲事了。”

Just wait, be patient.

等等，要有耐心。

You don't need to know, you'll spoil it by trying to find out.

你不需要知道，你会因为试图找出答案而破坏它。

Yeah.

是的。

You're not privy to the information and you don't have

您不了解这些信息，也无权

a right to know the information.

了解这些信息。

Or even if you bought something for somebody and you were being asked,

或者，即使你为某人买了一些东西，而你被问到：

"How much do you spend on them?"

“你在这上面花了多少钱？”

Again, it's information that is slightly inappropriate to ask for.

再说一次，询问这些信息有点不合适。

Yeah.

Like someone's age.

是的。

就像某人的年龄一样。

How old are you?

你今年多大？

Yeah.

Yeah.

是的。

是的。

Never you mind.

没关系。

Stop being so nosy.

别这么多管闲事了。

That's another phrase, isn't it?

这是另一个短语，不是吗？

Never you mind.

没关系。

That's such an interesting phrase.

这是一个非常有趣的短语。

Never you mind.

没关系。

Never you mind.

Mind your own business.

没关系。

管好自己的事吧。

Yep.

是的。

All very similar things.

所有的事情都非常相似。

Yeah.

是的。

Now...

Keep your nose out.

现在... 别管管你的鼻子了。

You could call someone nosy, but an extension of that is...

你可以称某人爱管闲事，但延伸的话就是……

Oh, a nosy parker.

哦，爱管闲事的帕克。

A nosy parker.

一个爱管闲事的帕克。

Yeah.

That's a noun, isn't it?

是的。 这是一个名词，不是吗？

You're a nosy pa...

你真是个爱管闲事的人……

You're almost giving them a name of somebody that behaves in such a way.

你差点就给他们起了一个有这种行为的人的名字。

Hey, nosy parker.

嘿，爱管闲事的帕克。

Yeah.

He's a nosy parker.

是的。

他是个爱管闲事的帕克。

This phrase I've known from being a kid, something we'd like shout at each other,

我从小就知道这句话，我们喜欢对彼此大喊：

"Hey, you're a nosy parker."

“嘿，你是个爱管闲事的停车者。”

It's a bit of a junior, kind of juvenile sort of phrase.

这是一个有点初级、有点幼稚的短语。

But I just did a little Google search, as you do, trying to find

但我只是像你一样在谷歌上进行了一些搜索，试图找出

out like the origin of nosy parker.

喜欢管闲事的帕克的起源。

And it's not completely certain, but one source suggests that it comes from

这并不完全确定，但有消息来源表明，它来自

a very long time ago with a chap called Matthew Parker, who was the Archbishop

很久以前，一个叫马修·帕克的小伙子，他

of Canterbury, during his time and that he was known for basically being overly

在他的时代担任坎特伯雷大主教，众所周知，他基本上对过度

interested in or prying into other people's affairs, other people's business.

感兴趣或窥探别人的事，别人的事。

Trying to find out if they were being sacrilegious.

试图找出他们是否亵渎。

Yeah, just trying to find out what people were doing.

是的，只是想了解人们在做什么。

So, he was known for being very interested in other people's business and other

因此，他因对别人的生意、别人

people's opinions and lifestyles.

的观点和生活方式非常感兴趣而闻名。

And so because his surname was Parker, he was given the nickname Nosy Parker.

因为他的姓氏是帕克，所以他被昵称为“Nosy Parker”。

And that was obviously so popular at the time that it continued on as a way to name

这显然在当时非常流行，以至于它继续作为一种命名

anyone who was curious and inquisitive.

任何好奇和好奇的人的方式。

It's funny because if you're a religious leader, you often, I

这很有趣，因为如果你是一名宗教领袖，你经常，我

assume he would still be doing it.

认为他仍然会这样做。

You would run something called confession.

你会进行一种叫做忏悔的活动。

So, if you ran a church and you had a congregation who would come and see you.

所以，如果你经营一家教堂，并且有一群会来看你的人。

You sit in these boxes, right?

你坐在这些盒子里，对吗？

Sometimes they would be completely private and you'd slide something

有时他们会完全私密，你会滑过一些东西

across, and sometimes if you wanted, you could be open, and so the priest

，有时如果你愿意，你可以开放，这样牧师

could see your face and you would tell them and there was a saying,

就可以看到你的脸，你会告诉他们，有一种说法，

so I grew up Catholic and it was,

所以我是天主教徒长大的，它是：

"Bless me, father, for I have sinned."

“父亲，请保佑我，因为我犯了罪。”

And it was something like "I've got these confessions to make."

这就像“我要坦白这些”。

And then you would tell them, these are all the bad things I did.

然后你会告诉他们，这些都是我做的坏事。

And as a child, in a Catholic school, you'd go in and say,

当你还是个孩子的时候，在一所天主教学校里，你走进去会说：

"I didn't eat my breakfast, I ate too many sweets."

“我没吃早餐，我吃了太多甜食。”

And then at the end of it, the priest would say,

最后牧师会说：

"Here are some penance prayers to say.

“这里有一些忏悔祈祷文。

Go and say 'The Our Father' five times, and that will

去念诵‘我们的天父’五遍，这样就能

relieve you of your sinfulness."

解除你的罪孽。”

So, it makes me think if this nosy parker, either he was so nosy that the confessions

所以，这让我想到，如果这个爱管闲事的帕克，要么他太爱管闲事

of everybody wasn't enough, or people would come and tell him stuff, and he'd

，以至于每个人的坦白都还不够，要么人们会过来告诉他一些事情，他会

be like, I can't believe that's true!

说，我不敢相信这是真的！

I must go and find out!

我必须去看看！

And go around, you know, sticking his nose in other people's business.

你知道，他到处闲逛，插手别人的事。

Yeah, and then you said to stick your nose in.

是的，然后你说要插手。

So, that is another common phrase that we use for nosy people, isn't it?

所以，这是我们用来形容爱管闲事的人的另一个常用短语，不是吗？

We say,

我们说：

"Stop sticking your nose in."

“别再插手了。”

Or,

"You are sticking your nose into that person's business and it doesn't

或者，

“你插手了那个人的事，但它不

belong there, so take your nose out."

属于那里，所以把你的鼻子拿开。”

Just like you were saying earlier, like literally sticking your face into

就像你之前说的，就像把你的脸伸进

something to find out more and your nose being the first thing to enter.

某个东西来了解更多，而你的鼻子是第一个进入的东西。

So, to stick your nose in or to keep your nose out is the other common phrase.

因此，另一个常见的短语是“坚持到底”或“保持鼻子外”。

So, if you're telling someone to stop asking questions, you say,

所以，如果你告诉某人不要再问问题，你可以说：

"Keep your nose out.

“别插手。

It doesn't concern you."

这与你无关。”

Now, connected to this, if you're going to have a look at a place, maybe you're

现在，与此相关的是，如果你要去一个地方看看，也许你会在

going to have a wander around a shop that you haven't been in before or a

你以前没有去过的商店或城镇里闲逛

town, if you're on a holiday perhaps.

，如果你在度假的话也许。

And you're literally just going to have a look around, you've got no other

你实际上只是四处看看，你没有其他

specific purpose, you're not going to take part in activities or buy anything

具体目的，你不会参加活动或购买任何东西

necessarily, you're just going to look.

，你只是看看。

Then you could use the phrase...

然后你可以使用短语...

To have a nose about.

To have a nonosabout。

To have a nose about.

有一个鼻子。

So, Nick, you've got something happening right now, so you go and do that.

所以，尼克，你现在有事情发生，所以你就去做吧。

I'm going to go and have a nose about in the village.

我要去村子里探探一下。

Oh, I see.

我懂了。

Yeah.

Yeah.

是的。 是的。

If you went to the supermarket to do some shopping, I could say,

如果你去超市购物，我可以说：

"Anna, can you go and buy the vegetables?

“安娜，你能去买蔬菜吗？

I'm going to have a nose about in the seasonal aisle and see what's there."

我要去季节性的过道里嗅一嗅，看看那里有什么。”

Very nice.

很不错。

And also if you're in a shop and always the shop assistant spots you

而且，如果你在商店里，总是有店员发现你

and they come over and you're like,

，他们走过来，你会说，

"Oh no, they've seen me."

“哦，不，他们看到了我。”

And they say,

他们会说：

"Hello, can I help you with anything?"

“你好，有什么可以帮到你的吗？”

And I would reply,

我会回答：

"I'm just having a nosy."

“我只是多管闲事。”

Yeah.

是的。

Or just having a nose about, just doing a bit of window shopping.

或者只是四处看看，逛逛橱窗。

Yeah.

Seeing what's around.

是的。

看看周围有什么。

Just having a nosy or just having a nose about.

只是爱管闲事或只是爱管闲事。

These are very much slang or colloquial sayings that mean I'm just having a look.

这些都是俚语或口语，意味着我只是看看。

I have no intentions.

我没有任何意图。

Okay.

So, one other phrase that comes to mind which involves the word nose

好的。

因此，我想到的另一个涉及“鼻子”一词的短语

is related to being a bit of a snob.

与“有点势利小人”有关。

And it's something that the kitten did to me this morning, that I put

这是小猫今天早上对我做的事情，我把

his food down and it's a food that he's had before and he's loved before.

他的食物放下了，这是他以前吃过的、他以前爱过的食物。

And yet when I put it down on the floor this morning, he turned his nose up at it.

然而，当我今天早上把它放在地板上时，他却对它嗤之以鼻。

No way.

决不。

He did.

他做到了。

I was hurt.

我受伤了。

He turned his nose up at it and then he sat down and he looked at me and he went,

他对此嗤之以鼻，然后坐下来看着我，

"Meow," like he was really disgruntled.

“喵”了一声，好像他真的很不满。

He has high standards.

他有很高的标准。

Very high standards.

非常高的标准。

So, to turn your nose up at something, can you give us a very clear explanation

那么，如果你对某件事嗤之以鼻，你能给我们一个非常清晰的解释

of what this means metaphorically?

吗？这隐喻意味着什么？

So, it means that you don't like something.

所以，这意味着你不喜欢某件事。

And in English, I think we often use it in a snobby connotation.

在英语中，我认为我们经常将其用于势利的含义。

So, if somebody doesn't like something, it can be that they just don't like it, but

所以，如果有人不喜欢某件事，可能只是因为他们不喜欢它，但

to turn your nose up at something often refers to the fact that it might be that

对某件事嗤之以鼻通常指的是这样一个事实：

they feel that they're too good for it.

他们可能觉得自己太优秀了，不适合做这件事。 。

Yeah.

So it's more, it's more of a rejection than just a simple dislike because,

是的。 所以更多的是一种拒绝，而不仅仅是一种简单的不喜欢，因为，

you know, there's many things I don't like, but I don't turn my nose up at it.

你知道，有很多东西我不喜欢，但我不会对此嗤之以鼻。

For example, I eat your sprouts, even though I don't like sprouts

例如，我吃你的豆芽，尽管我不喜欢豆芽，

because I know they're good for me and you do cook them well.

因为我知道它们对我有好处，而且你确实把它们煮得很好。

It is a rejection, you're right.

这是拒绝，你是对的。

So, it's saying...

所以，它是说……

Yeah.

I don't want this in a way that's suggesting you're superior.

是的。

我不希望这表明你很优秀。

It almost kind of infers that they would push the bowl away from them.

这几乎暗示着他们会把碗推开。

Yes.

Yeah.

是的。

是的。

Saying, I don't want this today.

说，我今天不想这样。

Unacceptable.

不可接受的。

Yeah.

是的。

Yeah, so to turn your nose up at it, and you can actually imagine

是的，如果你对此嗤之以鼻，你实际上可以想象

them doing this physically.

他们在身体上这样做。

So, if someone thinks they're too good for something, they look at it

所以，如果有人认为自己在某件事上太优秀了，他们会看着它，

so their nose points down as they look down towards it, and then they go,

当他们低头看向它时，他们的鼻子会向下，然后他们会说，

"Huh!

No!"

“哈！

不！”

And they lift their nose high up into the air as they turn their face away.

当他们把脸转开时，他们把鼻子高高地举到空中。

So, physically they turn their nose up at it, and metaphorically they reject

因此，他们在身体上对它嗤之以鼻，而在隐喻上，他们

it by turning their nose up at it.

通过嗤之以鼻来拒绝它。

That kind of leads me on to, when you feel irritated, there's a phrase you can use.

这让我想到，当你感到恼火时，可以使用一个短语。

That involves the word nose.

这就涉及到鼻子这个词了。

So, you might be talking about gets up my nose?

所以，你可能是在说惹我生气？

Yeah, if something gets up my nose.

是的，如果有什么东西进入我的鼻子。

And that would come from the actual sense of something being stuck up your nose

这来自于有东西卡在你鼻子里的实际感觉

and it being very unpleasant, right?

，非常不愉快，对吗？

Yeah.

是的。

So, it's almost a physical, you know, suggestion.

所以，这几乎是一个物理上的建议。

So, something that comes to mind with me is if you get water up your nose.

所以，我想到的是如果你的鼻子进水了。

It's horrible, right?

太可怕了，对吧？

I don't like that.

我不喜欢这样。

Oh, like when you're swimming.

哦，就像你游泳时一样。

Take your head away, yeah.

把你的头拿开，是的。

And it goes in your sinuses and then you get that kind of pain,

它进入你的鼻窦，然后你会感到那种疼痛，

especially if it's chlorinated water.

特别是如果它是氯化水。

Yeah, yeah.

是啊是啊。

Or if somebody who's trying to be very irritating slowly sticks

或者，如果有人试图变得非常恼人，慢慢地粘上

something, a little stick up your nose just to try and annoy you.

一些东西，稍微抬起你的鼻子，只是为了试图惹恼你。

For me, in the summer, it's the bugs.

对我来说，夏天最重要的是虫子。

I always have a bug fly up my nose.

我的鼻子里总是有一只虫子飞进来。

I'm like, what's that?

我想，那是什么？

Yeah, that really gets up my nose.

是的，这确实让我很恼火。

But we use this metaphorically to suggest that it's a person

但我们用这个比喻来暗示这是一个人

or a thing gets up our nose.

或一件事进入了我们的鼻子。

It irritates us.

这让我们很恼火。

Very irritating.

It's usually people, isn't it, that we use this for.

非常令人恼火。

我们通常用这个来服务于人，不是吗？

So, I say,

"I was on the school run this morning, Nick, and I saw the

所以，我说，

“尼克，今天早上我在学校跑步时，我看到了

neighbour from three doors down.

三扇门外的邻居。

Oh, she really gets up my nose.

哦，她真的让我很恼火。

Yeah.

She really irritates me."

是的。 她真的让我很恼火。”

Or you could say,

或者你可以说，

"I do like Daniel, but his voice really gets up my nose."

“我确实喜欢丹尼尔，但他的声音让我很不舒服。”

His voice really grates on me.

他的声音真的让我很恼火。

It's really irritating.

真的很烦人。

Yeah.

是的。

Yeah.

I mean, it's a really interesting phrase, right?

是的。

我的意思是，这是一个非常有趣的短语，对吧？

So, there's one final phrase that you mentioned before we started recording,

所以，在我们开始录音之前你提到了最后一句话，

which is to have a nose for something.

那就是对某事有敏锐的嗅觉。

What does this mean?

这是什么意思？

It means that you have an intuition.

这意味着你有直觉。

Ahh!

Yeah.

啊！ 是的。

It means that you, and it's almost, there's a, like an innate skill

这意味着你，几乎，有一种

associated with this, right?

与此相关的天生技能，对吗？

If you say,

如果你说：

"Oh, you know, Anna really has a nose for pronunciation quirks."

“哦，你知道，安娜真的很擅长辨别发音怪癖。”

Okay.

好的。 然后你会说，有些事情安娜天生就明白

Then you'd say, there's something that Anna innately understands that other

people, even though they try and learn it, they are just not as good at.

，而其他人即使尝试学习，但他们并不擅长。

Yeah, so it's like a natural ability to have a nose for something.

是的，所以对某事有敏锐的嗅觉就像是一种天生的能力。

A knack.

一个诀窍。

Yeah, I guess it's like if some people have a very attuned sense of

是的，我想这就像有些人有非常协调的嗅觉

smell, a very acute sense of smell and they can smell certain things that

，非常敏锐的嗅觉，他们可以闻到

other people maybe can't pick up on.

其他人可能无法闻到的某些东西。

Mm hmm.

嗯嗯。

I think I do have quite a good sense of smell actually, just talking about that.

我想我的嗅觉确实很好，只是说说而已。

You also have a good sense of pronunciation quirks.

您对发音怪癖也有很好的感觉。

Lots of people learn to be musicians, but if somebody was able to just hear

很多人学习成为音乐家，但如果有人能够听到

the music and then play it on the piano.

音乐，然后在钢琴上弹奏它。

They have an ear for it.

他们有耳朵。

They have an ear for it, right?

他们有耳朵，对吗？

But yeah, having an ear for something means that you can really hear

但是，是的，拥有耳朵意味着你可以真正听到

something and you understand it.

并且理解它。

Having a nose for something is the same, but it's more about, you know.

对某件事有敏锐的嗅觉是一样的，但它更重要的是，你知道。

Just to be able to sense something in the air.

只是为了能够感受到空气中的某些东西。

Yeah.

是的。

You can sniff it out.

你可以闻一闻。

So, you could say,

所以，你可以说，

"Do you know what, Nick, I think that Gerald and Gina are having an affair."

“尼克，你知道吗，我认为杰拉尔德和吉娜有外遇。”

And you'd be like,

你会说，

"Don't be so silly.

“别这么傻。

They hate each other."

I say,

他们互相憎恨。”
