Hello and welcome again. So last week, I made a video about idioms and using idioms to express different feelings.
哈喽,欢迎回来。上周,我做了一个关于习语和使用习语表达不同感受的视频。
嗯,今天我邀请了一群来自外面的学生来练习这些习语,供你们学习和欣赏。让我们直接开始吧。
As I said, last week, I'd made this video about idioms and it's all about feeling and we looked at out being angry, upset, nervous, bored, happy, sad, lots of feelings.
And I thought it would be a good idea to ask some of the students out there in YouTube land or Facebook land to make a short video of themselves using these idioms.
正如我说过,上周,我做了一个关于习语的视频,它是关于表达感受的,我们学习了如何表达生气,难过,紧张,无聊,快乐,悲伤,等很多感受。我觉得让一些在 YouTube 或 Facebook 上的学生用这些习语制作一个短片是个好主意。
Because the key thing about idioms, right, is not just to take one and use it in the test.
You have to practice, you have to see it in context several times, start practicing it and then you build your confidence, and then you do better in the test.
因为习语的关键不仅仅是在考试中使用它。你需要练习,你需要在不同的语境中多次看到它,开始练习,然后你就会建立自信,然后你就会在考试中做得更好。
So, I thought this would be a great opportunity.
So, I've got several students who have sent me videos, and we're going to look at them now together and learn and practice.
所以,我认为这将是一个很好的机会。我有几个学生给我发了一些视频,现在我们一起看一下,学习和练习一下。
Let's see the first one in action. You know, when this whole lockdown thing is over, I could hardly wait to go out and watch a movie with friends.
让我们看看第一个应用。你知道,当整个封锁结束后,我迫不及待地想出去和朋友们看一场电影。
I love that, "when this whole lockdown thing", great way of speaking, "this whole lockdown thing", when something's quite negative. And I totally get it. Shaku, fantasty!
我喜欢“when this whole lockdown thing”,“this whole lockdown thing”用得好,表示一些很负面的事情。我完全理解。酷,太棒了!
She wants to go out, she can hardly wait to go out with friends. Well, to be honest, me too.
她想出去,她迫不及待地想和朋友出去。老实说,我也是。
And here's the next one, Mahima. As I was chessed off with the lockdown, I got thrilled to bits when I came to know that my husband is taking me out for dinner.
这是下一个,Mahima。因为我对封锁感到厌烦,当我知道我丈夫要带我出去吃晚饭的时候,我兴奋极了。
He really blew my mind. That's crazy, "blew my mind", "he blew my mind".
他真的让我大吃一惊。太疯狂了,“大吃一惊”,“他让我大吃一惊”。
That's great. I love that, Mahima. So again, with the lockdown.
She was cheesed off with the lockdown, right, really fed up and how lucky, she has such a wonderful husband who's gonna take her out.
太好了。我喜欢,Mahima。还是关于封锁期。她对封锁很恼火,对吧,真的受够了,多幸运,她有这么好的丈夫,他会带她出去。
