早啊,同學們
哈囉
哈囉
00:04
Morning, how are you?
1
4400
2100
早安,你好嗎?
00:07
- I'm fine thank you, and you?
- I'm fine thank you, and you?
2

(齊聲)我很好,謝謝,你呢?
你呢?
00:11
Yeah!
3
11900
2020
耶
耶
00:15
Don't high-five him.
Who taught you to say that?
4
15920
2580
別擊掌,誰告訴你們這樣說的?
00:18
Like all of our teachers.
All of them.
Ever.
5
18500
5120
就是我們所有人的老師
他們全都這樣教
一直都這樣
00:24
We need to change this
6
24720
2300
我們得做點改變
00:34
First we don't always say
"How are you?"
7
34720
3900
首先,我們不是一直都說"How are you"
00:38
We say many different things.
For example...
8
38620
3780
我們用很多不同方式來問候
舉例來說
00:43
We might say
"How's it going?" or
9
43600
2760
我們可能會說"How is it going?"
或是說"Hey, how are you doing?"
00:46
"Hey how are you doing?"
10
46360
1220
00:47
Australians will often say a mix of this
11
47580
4300
澳洲人會經常將他們混著說
00:51
"How are you going?"
12
51880
1160
"How are you going?"
00:53
This one, in the UK, in the U.S. it's not common to say
13
53040
4000
這句話在英國、美國不是很常說
但是,澳洲人的英文,會這麼說
00:57
But Australian English, yes
14
57040
3460
01:01
and yes you can also say
"Oh hi, how are things?"
15
61520
4020
當然,你也可以說
"Oh! Hi, how are things?"
01:05
These ones here,
repeat with me and pay close attention to the intonation
16
65740
6000
這裡的這句話,重覆和我說一遍
然後,將你的注意力放在語調上
01:11
"You okay?"
"You alright?"
17
71940
1940
"You OK?" "You alright?"
01:13
Of course we miss the "Be" verb here
"ARE you okay?" "ARE you alright?"
18
73880
4960
當然,我們在這裡少了Be動詞
"Are you OK?" "Are you alright?"
01:18
But it's very common just to say
19
78840
2940
但是,經常在這邊只說
01:21
"You okay?"
"You alright?"
20
81780
3380
"You OK?" "You alright?"
01:25
This confuses Americans apparently
21
85160
2880
這裡很顯然會讓美國人感到很疑惑
因為在英國人的英文中
01:28
because in British English this one is very common it's very casual
22
88040
6020
這個說法非常普遍
蠻不正式的
01:34
"Alright?"
23
94060
1160
"You alright?"
01:35
It's just a "Hello"
or a "How are you?"
24
95220
3700
這就只是個"哈囉"或是個"你好嗎?"
01:38
it's very casual it's normal
25
98920
2000
蠻不正式的、很平常
01:40
but if you say this to an
American they will be like this
26
100920
4360
但是,你將這句話對美國人講
他們會像這樣
01:45
"Am I alright? I'm fine do I look sad?"
27
105280
3340
"我一切都好嗎? 我很好啊"
"我看起來很難過嗎?"
01:48
So for Americans that sounds more serious.
You're asking:
28
108620
4460
所以對美國人來說
這個聽起來就很正式
你像是在問
"喔...你很難過嗎?"
01:53
"Oh are you sad?!"
29
113080
2140
01:55
But for British people no this is just normal it's fine
30
115220
3960
但對英國人來說
不會啊,這很正常,這問候很好
01:59
But remember I said pay close attention to the intonation
31
119180
3900
但記住我剛剛說的,把注意力放在語調上
"You OK?" "Alright?"
02:03
"You okay?"
"Alright?"
32
123080
1840
02:04
sounds happy but all of these you would ask to this person
33
124920
5780
聽起來很開心吧
但是,這些話你拿來問這個人
02:10
If that's their expression
if it's a normal day, nothing bad happened
34
130700
5020
是否他們覺得
是否就像平常一樣,沒什麼壞事發生
02:15
But what if...
35
135720
2340
但是,如果呢?
如果你的朋友看起來很傷心
02:18
if your friend looks sad or if you know something bad happened
36
138060
4240
或是你知道有什麼壞事已經發生了
02:22
There is a different way you
can ask these questions
37
142300
3540
會有不同的方式讓你可以問這個問題
02:25
First the intonation
38
145840
1540
首先,就是語調上
02:27
The intonation with these changes
Listen...
39
147380
3860
這些問句的語調上改變了,仔細聽
02:31
"You alright?"
40
151240
1600
"You alright?"
02:32
See it does this up/down thing
"You alright?"
41
152840
3620
感受到了嗎? 就是這個起伏
"You alright?"
02:36
See the intonation goes up and down there
"Are you okay?"
42
156460
3780
對吧,語調在這裡先上揚再下挫了
"You OK?"
02:40
So it really depends on your intonation how you say them
43
160240
5000
所以這十分仰賴你在說它時的語氣
02:45
"You okay?"
"Are you alright?"
44
165260
3480
"You OK?"
"You alright?"
02:48
These ones may sound very casual,
normal, maybe happy
45
168740
4040
這些問候聽起來不正式、很平常,或許是開心的
02:52
So if your friend looks like this or maybe something bad happened,
46
172780
5180
所以如果你的朋友看起來像這樣
或是有什麼不好的事發生了
02:57
Let's ask a different question
47
177960
2380
讓我們用不同的問句來問
"What's up?" 或是 "What's the matter?"
03:02
"What's up?" or "What's the matter?"
48
182160
3180
03:05
These two questions show concern for your friend
49
185340
2980
這兩個問題表達出對你朋友的關心
03:08
You're asking for details you're asking about the problem
50
188320
3620
你正在問細節,你正在問那個問題是什麼
03:11
And important to note, don't ask
"What's your problem?"
51
191940
5900
然後,一定要注意別問
"What's your problem?"
03:17
Don't ask that question it doesn't sound friendly,
it doesn't sound like you care
52
197840
6680
別問那個問題
它聽起來不是友善
它聽起來不是你在乎他
03:24
It sounds like
"PFFF! What's your problem!?"
53
204520
4180
它聽起來像
噗~"What's your problem?"(你是有什麼毛病?)
03:28
So if you want to ask "what's your problem?"
Don't ask that
54
208940
4180
所以如果你想要問"你遇到了什麼問題?"
別那樣問,改問這樣
03:33
Ask: "What's the matter?"
That is much better
55
213120
6080
"What's the matter?"
那樣...就好很多了
03:39
Possible answers to: "How are you?"
Don't say "I'm fine thank you, and you?"
56
219200
6500
回答"How are you?"的可能的答案
別說"I'm fine. Thank you. And you?"
03:45
No! No more!
57
225700
2400
不。別再這樣回答了
03:48
So for British people it's very common if you're good to normal
58
228100
5540
對於英國人來說,很普遍的
如果你對於現狀感到不錯
03:53
to start your answer with "Yeah"
59
233640
3460
你回答的開頭可以伴隨著"Yeah"
03:57
For example...
60
237100
1740
舉例來說
03:59
This is the more realistic answer
we don't say "I'm fine thank you, and you"
61
239340
6040
這算是個比較實際的回答
我們不說"I'm fine. Thank you. And you?"
04:05
We say
"Yeah, good, you?"
62
245380
2880
我們會說"Yeah! Good! You?"
04:08
other ways you can answer if you're happy or just normal
63
248260
4460
其他你可以表示你很開心或很平常的方式是
04:15
"Yeah, I'm great"
64
255900
1700
"Yeah! I'm great"
04:17
"Yeah, I'm good"
65
257600
1820
"Yeah! I'm good"
04:19
"I'm pretty good"
66
259420
2560
"I'm pretty good"
04:21
"Yeah, doing well"
67
261980
2080
"Yeah! Doing well"
04:24
"Yeah, doing good"
68
264060
1460
"Yeah! Doing good"
04:25
Or if you don't want an adjective:
"Yeah, can't complain"
69
265520
4260
或是你不想要有形容詞
"Yeah! Can't complain"(沒什麼好抱怨的)
04:29
You'll notice that I haven't included any extreme adjectives
70
269780
4540
你會發現我沒有加入一些措辭強烈的形容詞
04:34
Because we're British, we don't do emotions
71
274320
4520
因為我們是英國人
我們不會情緒化
04:38
I'm joking but in British English we don't typically talk about how great we are
72
278840
7360
我說笑的,但是
在英國人的英文中,基本上我們不會討論我們有多重要
04:46
We don't do that
73
286200
1480
我們不會那樣做
04:47
So if someone asks you how are you and in fact you're brilliant, you're amazing
74
287680
5460
所以如果有人問你"How are you?"
而事實上你感覺很順利、你感覺很棒
04:53
"I'm AMAAAAAZING!"
75
293140
2820
我超棒的~~
04:55
You would still say one of these
76
295960
2360
你仍然會說這當中的其中一句
04:58
but less commonly you might hear
77
298320
3640
但是,比較不常見,你可能會聽到
05:02
"I'm wonderful!"
78
302340
1260
"I'm wonderful"
05:03
You probably won't hear that but you might
79
303600
4940
你或許不會聽到啦
但你可能會聽到
05:08
"Oh everything is hunky dory!"
80
308540
2040
"Oh! Everything is Honky Dory"
05:10
If you say everything's hunky-dory it means there are no problems everything is happy and lovely
81
310580
6120
如果你說"Everything is Honky Dory"
意思是沒有任何的問題
所有事都是快樂且美好的
05:16
It's really not common to hear that
82
316700
2940
這真的沒有很常會聽到
05:19
Actually if someone says this they're
probably joking or being sarcastic
83
319640
5180
事實上,如果有人說這句
他們或許是在開玩笑或是在嘲諷
05:24
so just keep that in mind
84
324820
2400
所以,只要將它記在心上就好
05:27
Also I often hear "so-so"
85
327220
4500
對了,我也很常聽到
"So-so"
05:31
Don't say this! Never say this! No!
In my life no one has ever said this... I think
86
331720
9260
別這樣講,永遠別再這樣講
不要
在我人生中,沒有人有這樣講過
05:40
So it doesn't sound natural, don't say it
87
340980
3420
我是這樣想
這聽起來不自然,別這樣說
05:44
AH! I forgot!
88
344400
1900
啊,我忘了
05:46
oh my god I'm so stupid I almost forgot probably the most important one
89
346740
4840
天啊!我真笨
我幾乎忘了或許是最重要的一句
05:51
This might be the most common one
90
351580
2700
這可能是最常見的一句
05:54
"Yeah I'm alright"
91
354280
1180
"Yeah! I'm alright"
05:55
You can also say "I'm alright"
92
355460
3160
你也可以說"I'm alright"
05:58
but remember again that is a bit more British
93
358620
3100
但是記住,同樣,這有一點英式
06:01
"You alright?"
94
361720
1040
"You alright?"
06:02
"Yeah I'm alright, you alright?"
95
362760
1560
"Yeah! I'm alright. You alright?"
06:04
"Yeah I'm good"
96
364320
1140
"Yeah! I'm good"
06:05
So these ones again they're more if you feel happy,
you feel good, you feel normal
97
365460
5580
所以這幾句,同樣的,比較像是
如果你感覺開心、你感覺很棒、你覺得很平常
06:11
But what if you feel not so great you
feel a bit sad maybe well something happened
98
371560
6400
但是,如果你覺得沒有很好呢?
你或許覺得有點難過
或是有什麼事發生了
06:17
Remember I said if you're feeling like this you probably will start your answer with:
99
377960
5900
記住我說的,如果你感覺像這樣
你或許會在你回答的開頭加上"Yeah"
06:23
"Yeah"
100
383860
1220
06:25
For example
101
385080
1100
舉例來說
06:26
"Yeah I'm good"
102
386180
1080
"Yeah! I'm good"
06:27
But if you feel like this probably you will start your answer with:
103
387260
5660
但是,如果你感覺像這樣
或許
你會以這樣當你回答的開頭
06:32
"Well..."
104
392920
1140
"Well..."
06:34
For example
105
394060
1860
舉例來說
06:36
And remember we are British we don't have emotions
106
396600
2980
記住,我們是英國人,我們不太會情緒化
06:39
Even strong emotions, we suppress them because we're British
107
399580
4680
即使是強烈的情感我們也會壓抑它
因為我們是英國人
06:44
So if you feel bad you are not REALLY BAD
108
404260
4360
所以如果你感覺沒很好
但沒有那麼的糟
06:48
You're only A BIT bad
For example
109
408620
3320
你只有一點糟
06:51
"Well I'm a bit tired"
110
411940
3440
舉例來說
"Well...a little bit tired"(這個嘛...我有點累)
06:55
"Well I'm a bit sleepy"
111
415380
2760
"Well...I'm a little bit sleepy"(這個嘛...我有點想睡)
06:58
"I'm a bit ill"
112
418140
2440
"(cough)...I'm a little bit ill"(咳...我有點不舒服)
07:00
We're British, we like to repress our emotions
113
420720
3000
我們是英國人,我們喜歡去壓抑我們的情緒
07:03
Now perhaps something bad happened
perhaps you don't feel good at all
114
423720
5720
現在或許有些壞事發生
或許你真的沒有感到很好
07:10
"Well I've been better"
or "I've seen better days"
115
430900
5360
"Well...I've been better."(我已經好一些了)
或是
"I've seen better days"(我看到好點的日子了)
07:16
These ones they imply that perhaps
something bad happened
116
436260
3940
這些是他們暗示或許真的有什麼壞事發生了
07:20
Maybe someone died maybe you just broke up with your partner
117
440220
7000
或許某人過世了
或許你剛和你的伙伴拆夥了
07:27
Any combination of this
This looks like a maths problem
118
447920
5020
任何和這句話的組合
這看起來像個數學問題
07:32
but you can use any combination of this one for your answer
119
452940
4420
OK. 但你可以將這句組合在任何回答上
07:37
If you feel bad, for example
120
457360
2380
如果你覺得不好
舉例來說
07:39
The short way "Hmm not that great" or
"I'll be honest I'm not doing so well"
121
459740
7040
短一點"Mmm...Not that great"
或是說
"I'll be honest. I'm not doing so well"(老實說,我沒有過得很好)
07:46
and again you can mix them I'm not doing so great I'm not doing that well
122
466780
4840
一樣你可以混合它們
"I'm not doing so great"
"I'm not doing that well"
07:51
you can choose any mixture of these words
123
471620
4000
你可以從這些字句中任意選擇混搭
07:55
and that means you feel like this
124
475620
2760
那表示你感覺像這樣
07:58
So in the comments let me know: How are you doing? How is everything?
125
478380
4280
