situations when talking about clothing.

情況當我們在談論衣服時。

So, we'll start from the top, and we will work our way down. So, from the top, we have

因此,我們將從頂部開始,然後向下努力。 所以，從頂部開始，我們有

the collar of the shirt. So this is called the collar. Now, two verbs that we often use

襯衫的領子。所以這就是所謂的 collar。現在，我們經常使用在衣領上的兩個動詞

with collars are: "Fix your collar", or: "Pop your collar". Now, again, "to fix your collar"

經常使用在衣領上的動詞是：“fix your collar”，或者：“"Pop your collar“。現在，再次，”to fix your collar“

this means that maybe your collar is up on one side, like this, or there's something

wrong with it. You can just use the verb "fix". Fix your collar. Okay? Now, "to pop your collar"

part of the shirt, these are called your sleeves. Now, again, shirts can have long sleeves or

襯衫的一部分，這些被稱為你的袖子(sleeves)。 現在，再來一次，襯衫可以有長袖或

short sleeves. So, again, it can have long sleeves or short sleeves. Here, you have two

短袖。所以，再一次，它可以有長袖或短袖。 在這裡，你有兩個

expressions that I put: "Roll up" and "roll down". So if it's time to work hard, you can

say: "Time to roll up your sleeves." So to roll up your sleeves is to do this. To roll

說：“該開始幹活了。”(Time to roll up your sleeves) 所以捲起你的袖子是為了做到這一點。

them down is to put them back down. And again, you can think about many contexts where you

So, buttons. Exciting stuff. Now, you can see in this shirt, the top button is not buttoned.
