My heartbreak started with an email.

我的心碎是从一封电子邮件开始的。

Yes.

是的。

He sent me an email, which let's be honest is probably the most cold-hearted and

他给我发了一封电子邮件，说实话，这可能是最冷酷、最

cowardly way to break up with someone.

懦弱的分手方式。

This young man, let's call him Eddie.

这个年轻人，我们就叫他埃迪吧。

Eddie and I met while working on board the cruise ships, and anyone who has

ever upended their lives to take up an opportunity in another country or at sea

will know how vulnerable you can feel.

So I was pretty vulnerable at this time and I was looking

to build a support network.

So long story short, despite not looking for love, Eddie stole my heart.

长话短说，尽管埃迪不是在寻找爱情，但他却偷走了我的心。

He knew exactly what to say and how to treat me in order to win my heart.

To be honest, I've always worn my heart on my sleeve, and after

all this time, I still don't know if that's a blessing or a curse.

这么久，我仍然不知道这是福是祸。

Anna,

That is how a seemingly beautiful relationship ended with betrayal

一段看似美好的关系就是这样以背叛

and a blunt, unapologetic email.

和一封直率、毫无歉意的电子邮件结束的。

From that point, I had to piece myself back together.

从那时起，我必须重新振作起来。

So I put my heart and soul into my work and spent my free time

因此，我全心全意地投入到工作中，并将空闲时间投入

indulging in activities that are close to my heart, like playing

到自己喜欢的活动中，比如弹

piano and exploring new places.

钢琴和探索新的地方。

Two years later, out of the blue, Eddie contacted me asking to meet me for coffee.

I agreed, purely because I was curious and because I never felt

By this time I had my life together and I was in a great place.

He, however, was deeply unhappy.

We talked things through and I expressed how much he had hurt me.

is what you could have had, but you messed up, so eat your heart out.

But I didn't.

I actually felt sorry for him in the end.

Now I am pleased to tell you that I did find true love in the end,

现在我很高兴地告诉你，我最终找到了真爱，

someone who loves and respects me, who makes me feel young at heart,

and that is something that I wish for everyone who's listening to me today.

现在，在听那个非常遗憾、令人心碎的故事时，您是否注意到

the many heart phrases that I used?

我使用了许多令人心碎的短语？

There were, in fact, 20.

事实上，有 20 个。

So sit back and relax as I unpack them for you, you might want to grab

所以，当我为您打开包装时，请坐下来放松，您可能想拿

a piece of paper and a pen and make some notes, but if you're driving,

一张纸和一支笔做一些笔记，但如果您正在开车，

please don't be writing notes.

请不要写笔记。

That's dangerous.

那很危险。

You can always listen back later on.

您稍后可以随时回听。

So I use the phrase to break my heart.

所以我用这句话来伤我的心。

If you break someone's heart, it's when you destroy them

如果你伤了某人的心，那是当你在

emotionally, you upset them deeply.

情感上摧毁他们时，你让他们深感不安。

So it's often when someone breaks up a relationship.

因此，经常有人会破坏一段关系。

If the other person is committed to that relationship and happy, then by betraying

如果对方致力于这种关系并且快乐，那么背叛

them or by breaking off the relationship, then you're going to upset them.

他们或中断关系，那么你就会让他们感到不安。

And in this case, we would say you broke their heart.

在这种情况下，我们会说你伤了他们的心。

Okay.

Sometimes you get to the end of a relationship and both of you just

好的。

有时，当一段关系结束时，你们都

know that you don't want to be together anymore, and there's not

知道你们不想再在一起了，而且并没有

really much heartbreak involved.

太多的心碎。

Nobody's breaking anyone's heart.

没有人会伤任何人的心。

It's a mutual agreement that you want to end the relationship.

您想要结束这种关系是双方同意的。

Sometimes you might hear 'you broke my heart' used in different contexts.

有时您可能会听到在不同的情况下使用“你伤了我的心”。

So, for example, if my child does something that's just so terrible or says

举例来说，如果我的孩子做了一些非常可怕的事情或者说了

something that's just so painful to me.

一些让我非常痛苦的事情。

For example, if one of my sons turned out to be a violent criminal

例如，如果我的一个儿子最终成为一名暴力罪犯

and does terrible things to people, that would break my heart.

并对人们做出可怕的事情，那会让我心碎。

My heart would feel broken.

我的心会感到破碎。

I would have pain in my heart because the people I love and care

我会因为我所爱和关心的人而心痛

about are doing terrible things.

正在做可怕的事情。

Has anyone ever broken your heart?

有没有人伤过你的心？

Given that most people will go through some form of breakup or

鉴于大多数人都会经历某种形式的分手或

have some disappointing news from a loved one, then I think all of us

从亲人那里得到一些令人失望的消息，那么我想我们所有人

will have experienced some form of heartbreak at some point in our lives.

都会在生命中的某个时刻经历某种形式的心碎。

And if you are experiencing that right now, I'm sending you a big hug.

如果你现在正在经历这种情况，我会给你一个大大的拥抱。

Okay, so the next phrase is a change of heart.

好吧，下一句话是改变主意。

If you have a change of heart, it's the same as changing your mind.

如果你改变了主意，那就和改变主意是一样的。

It means you suddenly feel differently about something.

这意味着你突然对某件事有不同的感觉。

So I might have a long standing feud between my siblings,

所以我的兄弟姐妹之间、

with my brother and sister.

我的兄弟姐妹之间可能有长期的不和。

I might decide that I'm never speaking to my brother and sister again because

由于我们十年前的一次争吵，

of an argument we had 10 years ago.

我可能会决定不再和我的兄弟姐妹说话

And I'm adamant that that's it.

。 我坚信就是这样。

Never again.

再也不。

But then a few months later, I'm suddenly speaking to them again.

但几个月后，我突然又和他们说话了。

You could say that I've had a change of heart.

你可以说我变心了。

I now feel differently about the situation.

我现在对这种情况有不同的感觉。

I've changed my mind.

我改变了主意。

So to have a change of heart.

所以要改变主意。

If you follow your heart, then you are pursuing your passion.

如果你追随你的心，那么你就是在追求你的激情。

You are going for the thing that feels right.

你会追求感觉正确的事情。

I remember when I was trying to decide which courses to take

我记得当我试图决定

at college and university, I was asking everyone's advice,

在学院和大学选修哪些课程时，我询问了每个人的建议，

"What should I do?

“我应该做什么？

I don't know what to do."

我不知道该怎么办。”

And then my mum just said to me,

然后我妈妈就对我说：

"Look, Anna, it's your life.

“听着，安娜，这是你的生活。

You have to follow your heart.

你必须跟随你的心。

Ignore what everyone tells you.

忽略每个人告诉你的。

Don't do courses just because that's what someone else thinks you should do.

不要仅仅因为别人认为你应该做的事情而去上课。

Follow your heart.

跟随你的心.

What makes you happy?

什么让你快乐？

What do you think you want to do in life?"

你认为你一生想做什么？

And I said,

"I want to be an actress.

我说：

“我想成为一名演员。

I want to be a singer and a dancer."

我想成为一名歌手和舞者。”

And so I followed my heart.

所以我跟随我的心。

Next is to wear your heart on your sleeve.

接下来就是把你的心挂在袖子上。

If you're the kind of person who wears your heart on your sleeve, then

如果你是那种把心事表露在外的人，那么

you are very open with how you feel.

你就会非常坦诚地表达自己的感受。

Many of us tend to hide our emotions, don't we?

我们很多人都倾向于隐藏自己的情绪，不是吗？

Especially if we like someone or if we're feeling sad about something.

尤其是当我们喜欢某人或为某事感到悲伤时。

It's almost like there's a level of shame associated with expressing our emotions,

就好像表达我们的情绪会带来一定程度的羞耻，

so we hide them away from the world.

所以我们把它们隐藏起来，远离世界。

But if you wear your heart on your sleeve, then you don't, you show

但如果你把你的心表露在外，那么你就不会，你会向

everyone how you're feeling and how you feel about different people.

每个人展示你的感受以及你对不同人的感受。

You wear your heart on your sleeve.

你把你的心挂在袖子上。

Then I used a very unusual phrase, I said, cross my heart and hope to die.

然后我用了一个非常不寻常的短语，我说，交叉我的心，希望死。

Now, this is commonly something that a youngster would say, but as

现在，这通常是年轻人会说的话，但随着

we get older, you will hear this particular phrase occasionally

年龄的增长，你会听到

used by adults, but shortened.

成年人偶尔使用这个特定的短语，但会缩短。

So people often say, cross my heart, cross my heart.

所以人们常说，十字我心，十字我心。

This doesn't mean that you literally want to die.

这并不意味着你真的想死。

It means that you promise that you sincerely promise.

意思是你承诺，你真诚地承诺。

So this would normally be the response to someone asking if you are

因此，这通常是对某人询问您是否

definitely going to do something or asking if you promise to do something

肯定要做某事或询问您是否承诺做某事（

they're asking you to commit to a thing that you said that you'd do.

他们要求您承诺做您说过要做的事情）的回应。

So if you say,

所以如果你说：

"Look, don't worry about clearing up the garden.

“听着，不用担心清理花园。

I'll do it later."

我稍后会做。”

And you don't believe me because I say this all the time and you

你不相信我，因为我一直这么说，而你

really need the garden cleaning up.

真的需要清理花园。

So you'd say,

所以你会说，

"You promise?

“你保证？

You promise, you'll do it later today?"

你保证，今天晚些时候你会做到吗？”

I'd look you back in the eye and say,

我会看着你的眼睛说：

"I cross my heart."

“我在心里划十字。”

With the extension of that being cross my heart and hope to die.

随着这种存在的延伸，我的心越发希望死去。

As children, when you say this, you often even do a little draw, a little

作为孩子，当你说这句话的时候，你甚至经常会做一点画，

cross with your finger across your chest, so you cross across your chest, as you

用手指在胸前画一个小十字，所以你在胸前十字，就像你

say, cross my heart and hope to die.

说的，十字我的心，希望死。

It's quite morbid really thinking about it.

仔细想想真是太病态了。

I think that the sense of that second part is if I break my

我认为第二部分的意义是，如果我违背诺言

promise, the Lord can strike me down.

，主就会击倒我。

I will die.

我会死。

If I break my promise.

如果我违背了我的诺言。

I will definitely commit to this, I won't let you down.

我一定会承诺这一点，我不会让你失望的。

Next is to take something to heart.

接下来是将某件事牢记在心。

If you take something to heart, it's very similar to take something

如果你把某件事放在心上，那就和把某件事放在心上非常相似

personally, it means that you really believe and are affected by something

就个人而言，这意味着您确实相信 某人所做或所说的

that someone has done or said.

事情并受到其影响

So if I were to say to you,

。 所以如果我对你说：

"Oh, have you had a haircut?

“哦，你理发了吗？

Your hair looks a bit different."

你的头发看起来有点不一样了。”

I'm just making a general comment there, but you might be feeling

我只是在那里发表一般性评论，但您可能

very sensitive about your hair.

对自己的头发感到非常敏感。

Maybe you did have to have a haircut because your hair is thinning

也许你确实需要理发，因为你的头发稀疏

and you're trying to disguise it.

，而你想掩饰它。

And so me making a comment about your hair tells you that it no longer looks

所以我对你的头发发表评论告诉你，它不再看起来

good or that it's really obvious, even though that's not necessarily what

很好，或者它真的很明显，尽管这不一定是

I said, you really took it to heart.

我说的，但你真的把它放在心上。

Or an example from my childhood when I used to sing as a child in the house, I

或者是我童年时期的一个例子，当时我小时候经常在家里唱歌，我

say a child, like a young teenage girl.

说一个孩子，就像一个年轻的十几岁的女孩。

Sometimes my mum would say,

有时我妈妈会说：

"Oh, what's going on up there?

“哦，上面发生了什么事？

It sounds like someone's murdering a cat."

听起来像是有人在谋杀一只猫。”

And I really took that comment to heart.

我真的把这个评论牢记在心。

You know, my mum was just being a bit playful, but I really felt quite

你知道，我妈妈只是有点贪玩，但我

sensitive about that, and it made me feel really insecure about singing.

对此感到非常敏感，这让我对唱歌感到非常没有安全感。

And it took me a long time to get past that comment.

我花了很长时间才克服这个评论。

I still hold it with me today.

今天我仍然把它带在身边。

So I really took that to heart, even though it wasn't

所以我真的把这件事记在心里，尽管这并不是

intended to be anything serious.

什么严肃的事情。

Next is to steal someone's heart.

接下来就是偷走某人的心。

If you steal someone's heart, then you make them fall in love with you.

如果你偷走了某人的心，那么你就让他们爱上了你。

Now, this could be romantic, as it was in my story.

现在，这可能很浪漫，就像我的故事一样。

You make someone fall in love with you and you run off together to have a happy life.

你让某人爱上你，然后你们一起私奔，过上幸福的生活。

Or it could be just, you know, like a really cute little teeny weeny kitten

或者它可能只是，你知道，就像一只非常可爱的小猫

has been left in a box on your doorstep.

被留在你家门口的盒子里。

And although you said you'd never have a pet and you're not a big fan of cats,

尽管你说过你永远不会养宠物，而且你也不喜欢猫，但

this tiny kitten just stole your heart.

这只小猫却偷走了你的心。

You fell in love with it.

你爱上了它。

You couldn't give it away.

你不能把它放弃。

You couldn't leave it there.

你不能把它留在那里。

So you took it in and you became a cat owner.

所以你收留了它，你就成为了猫的主人。

It stole my heart.

它偷走了我的心。

Next, we have to speak from the heart.

接下来，我们要说的是心里话。

If you speak from the heart, it just means that you are very honest.

如果你是发自内心地说的话，那只能说明你很诚实。

You open up and you say what you are truly feeling.

你敞开心扉，说出你的真实感受。

You might hear this being stated by someone who you wouldn't

你可能会听到某个你意想不到的人说出这句话是

expect to speak from the heart.

发自内心的。

So someone who would always have an arranged speech, so like a politician

因此，总是有安排好的演讲的人，就像政治家

or someone in authority who would be giving a press conference or just

或权威人士一样，他们会举行新闻发布会或只是

speaking to a larger group of people.

对一大群人发表讲话。

Often they are well prepared.

他们往往做好了充分的准备。

They know exactly what they're doing.

他们清楚地知道自己在做什么。

But on the odd occasion, they will become quite personal and

但在某些奇怪的场合，他们会变得非常个人化，并且

they will speak from the heart.

会发自内心地说话。

They will just tell you what they're genuinely feeling and thinking, and reveal

他们只会告诉你他们的真实感受和想法，并展示

themselves rather than putting on a show.

自己，而不是表演。

They speak from the heart.

他们发自内心地说话。

Next we have close to my heart.

接下来我们要靠近我的心。

If something is close to your heart, it means that you care about it.

如果某件事贴近你的心，那就意味着你关心它。

Now, this is often used to describe causes that you care about.

现在，这通常用于描述您关心的原因。

So if you are a particular follower and supporter of animal rights causes,

因此，如果您是动物权利事业的特定追随者和支持者，

if you are a vegan, if you are a women's rights supporter and activist.

如果您是素食主义者，如果您是妇女权利支持者和活动家。

If you are closely following the news on climate change and the work of the

如果您密切关注有关气候变化的新闻和气候活动人士的工作

climate activists, then these are all causes that are close to your heart.

，那么这些都是您关心的事业。

You could also use this phrase to describe activities and hobbies

您还可以使用这个短语来描述

that you particularly like.

您特别喜欢的活动和爱好。

So I could say squash.

所以我可以说南瓜。

Squash is very close to my heart.

壁球离我的心很近。

The piano is very close to my heart.

钢琴离我的心很近。

These are the things that I really do care about.

这些是我真正关心的事情。

I don't just like them.

我不只是喜欢他们。

I really, really love them.

我真的真的很爱他们。

Moving on to the phrase, eat your heart out.

继续说这句话，吃掉你的心。

Now, this isn't actually a very nice phrase.

现在，这实际上不是一个很好的短语。

You're telling someone to go and eat their own heart.

你是在告诉某人去吃掉自己的心。

Now, to eat your heart out is a phrase that you would use,

现在，“吃掉你的心”是你会用的一个短语，

you would aim it at someone.

你会把它瞄准某人。

Sometimes we follow it by a name.

有时我们会在它后面加上一个名字。

Eat your heart out Mariah Carey.

玛丽亚凯莉尽情享受吧。

In this case, you are suggesting that you or someone you are watching or someone

在这种情况下，您是在暗示您或您正在观看的人或

you are with is better than Mariah Carey.

与您在一起的人比玛丽亚·凯莉更好。

So if I'm with my best friend and my best friend has just entered a singing

所以如果我和我最好的朋友在一起并且我最好的朋友刚刚参加歌唱比赛

competition and she absolutely smashes it, she wins first place and she's amazing.

她在比赛中绝对获胜，她赢得了第一名，她太棒了。

She can do all the warbling that Mariah Carey does.

她可以唱玛丽亚凯莉所做的所有颤音。

And I say to her,

我对她说：

"You were so amazing.

“你太棒了。

I mean, eat your heart out, Mariah Carey."

我的意思是，尽情享受吧，玛丽亚·凯莉。”

I'm saying you are better than Mariah Carey.

我是说你比玛丽亚·凯莉更好。

But eat your heart out can also have the sense of excessive suffering

但是，吃尽全力也可能让人感到过度痛苦，

that someone might go through because they can't have or obtain something.

因为他们无法拥有或获得某些东西。

So in my story, I said that while sitting across from Eddie, I was thinking,

所以在我的故事中，我说当我坐在埃迪对面时，我在想，

"Oh, eat your heart out, eat your heart out."

“哦，把你的心掏出来，把你的心掏出来。”

Because he potentially was suffering from regret.

因为他可能正在遭受遗憾。

The fact that he let me go and he couldn't be with me anymore, he had no chance

事实上，他放了我，他不能再和我在一起了，

of winning me back after what happened.

在发生这件事之后，他没有机会赢回我。

And so in my head I was thinking,

所以我在心里想，

"Haha, you are suffering, excessively suffering because

“哈哈，你正在受苦，过度受苦，因为

you can no longer have me."

你不能再拥有我了。”

And so this phrase, yeah, it's just like throwing tomatoes at

所以这句话，是的，就像向

someone and and just saying, suffer.

某人扔西红柿然后说，受苦。

"You suffer.

“你受苦了。

You can't have what you want."

你无法拥有你想要的东西。”

Or like I said, if you say the phrase and follow it by someone's name,

或者就像我说的，如果你说出这个短语并在后面加上某人的名字，

then you're suggesting that the thing is better than that person.

那么你就表明这个东西比那个人更好。

So you might say,

所以你可能会说，

"Look at my new Volvo.

“看看我的新沃尔沃。

Isn't it amazing?

这不是太神奇了吗？

It does 0 to 60 in five seconds.

它在五秒内从 0 加速到 60 英里。

It's so fantastic.

太棒了。

I've done all these upgrades on it.

我已经在它上面完成了所有这些升级。

Eat your heart out Tesla."

特斯拉，让你尽情享受吧。”

Or

"Eat your heart out Elon Musk."

或者 “埃隆·马斯克，尽情发挥吧。”

Okay, I'm gonna move on from eating out hearts.

好吧，我要继续吃外卖了。

Where are we up to?

我们要去哪里？

What's next?

下一步是什么？

Ah, yes, bleeding heart.

啊，是的，心在滴血。

If you describe a bleeding heart, what you mean is that you are just in pain.

如果你描述一颗流血的心，你的意思是你只是在痛苦。

So if I say to someone,

所以如果我对某人说：

"Oh, just take my bleeding heart out of my chest."

“哦，把我流血的心从胸口拿出来吧。”

It's not really something I would say it's very dramatic, but I'm just

我想说的并不是什么戏剧性的事情，但我只是

saying that my heart is bleeding.

说我的心在流血。

I'm in so much pain, there's just, yeah, distress pouring out of my heart.

我非常痛苦，是的，痛苦从我的心里涌出来。

My heart is bleeding.

我的心在流血。

Sometimes we say this in a sarcastic way.

有时我们会以讽刺的方式这么说。

You really have to read the tone and the context.

你真的必须阅读语气和上下文。

So if you tell me a sob story, but I don't think it's really that bad, or if I'm

所以，如果你告诉我一个悲伤的故事，但我认为这并没有那么糟糕，或者如果我对

feeling quite annoyed with you because actually you've done something to hurt me.

你感到非常恼火，因为实际上你做了一些伤害我的事情。

Like, let's take Eddie for example.

让我们以艾迪为例。

If he sat there across the table from me all those years later and said,

如果这些年后他坐在我对面的桌子上说：

"I'm sorry that I cheated on you and dumped you in such a terrible

“我很抱歉我欺骗了你并以如此可怕的

way, but you have to understand I was having a really hard time.

方式抛弃了你，但你必须明白我当时过得很艰难。

I was so lonely that I had to cheat on you because I just

我我太孤独了，以至于我不得不欺骗你，因为我只

needed someone to be with me."

需要有人陪伴我。”

Then I might look at him and say,

然后我可能会看着他说：

"Oh, my heart is bleeding for you."

“哦，我的心在为你流血。”

It's a sarcastic way of saying, "that's just pathetic.

这是一种讽刺的说法，“这太可悲了。

I don't feel sorry for you in the slightest.

我一点也不为你感到难过。

Don't try and tell me your terrible sob story because that's not nearly

不要试图告诉我你可怕的哭泣故事，因为那远没有

as bad as what you did to me or what I've been going through."

你对我所做的或我所做的那么糟糕。”一直在经历。”

Okay.

好的。

So you have to really read the context and the tone to understand

因此，您必须真正阅读上下文和语气才能了解

if that one is genuine or not.

该内容是否真实。

Next I used the nice phrase, heart and soul.

So if someone describes you that way, that's something to smile about.

Now, to win someone's heart is similar to steal someone's heart, it means

现在，赢得某人的心类似于偷走某人的心，这意味着

that you've made a real effort to make someone like you, and in some

情况下，爱你，而且它起作用了。
