【Court Date – ABSRDST】
Zach:大家好,欢迎收听Unheard English,我电台频道的英语节目。大家以后可以叫我小扎老师。我们今天主要讲一个很重要的问题:what have you been playing lately?不过,老师上课之前,我们先听听一首歌叫做“Court Date”来自ABSRDST。玩家们,准备好戴你们的英语帽子,歌曲结束了我们就开始学习!
【Court Date】Fade up
Zach:Alright, I am PUMPED! Let‘s do this!
【Jingle】【Boss Battle 1】
Zach:哎,刚刚说的那句话是什么意思呢?I am pumped 就是表示我兴奋极了,比方说,你即将去锻炼锻炼,一个人问你 are you ready to exercise? 你准备好开始锻炼吗?你就可以回答 I‘m pumped!再举个例子,也可以说this game is going to be awesome,I’m pumped for this game 这个游戏肯定会很牛,我等不及了!
Zach:今天我们要谈的话题比较开放式,就是这个问题what have you been playing lately。这个问题呢,是个很好的方法跟人家搭讪啊,就可以打破冷场,英文我们说break the ice。
Zach:首先我要说:千万不要问别人what do you play。我们听听一个anti-example,反的例子:
【Scott Pilgrim vs。The World】- What do you play?
Zach:听懂了吗? 让小扎老师再来重复一下吧:
男孩:Hi。
女孩:Hi。Um,what do you play?
男孩:Wow,um,Zelda。。。Tetris。。。That’s kind of a big question。
Zach:你们懂不懂这段对话中的错误在哪里吗?错就错在那个女孩的问题!那个女孩直接就问问男孩 “你玩什么游戏”。想象一下:如果你去问一个FOODIE, 吃货”what food do you eat 你吃什么食物?“ 他会怎么反应呢?再比如说,你去问问一个书呆子“what books do you read?”所以这个问题实在太大了!如果你是个认真的玩家的话,你什么游戏都会玩,对不对!所以,我们今天要练习一句更具体的问题:what have you been playing lately?你最近玩什么游戏?
Zach:让小扎老师来给你们听一个范例。
Zach 1:Hey, Zach, what have you been playing lately?
Zach 2: Oh, lately? Nothing special. I can’t stop playing this game on my phone, it’s called Clash: Royale. It’s a simple game, but it’s really fun to play for ten or fifteen minutes at a time. I have also been playing Final Fantasy 10, but it’s such a long game, I feel like I’ll never beat it. How about you?
Zach:好了,想重复听的同学就可以倒回去再听一遍。我们现在要集中注意力了解那段话中的几个关键词。
Zach:第一个是nothing special。这句话非常的有用。一个人问你 what are you doing,就可以回答nothing special。也可以用这句话回答人给你打招呼:hey,what‘s going on?或者what have you been up to lately,你最近忙什么?oh,nothing special。
Zach:还有对话中的at a time,it’s really fun to play for ten or fifteen minutes at a time。这个简直是意思,你每次玩这个游戏只会玩大概15分钟游戏。再举个例子,可以说I usually read two or three books at a time。在这个句子里,意思就是在同一段时间里看几本书,不是只看一本。I can only read for thirty minutes at a time。在这句话里,at a time的意思是跟我说的范例一样,我只能一次看30分钟书。
Zach:最后的关键词就是I feel like I‘ll never,范例中我说过I feel like I‘ll never beat it。这个短语表示我就觉得我不能完成这个游戏。再举个例子,I feel like I will never get used to speaking Chinese。哈哈,那句话真有道理!
Zach:小扎老师再给你们说说有关键词的一个例子!不过开始前,让我们先来仔细听几个生词。
Battle system – 战斗系统 – Battle system
Enemy – 敌人 – Enemy,复数 Enemies
Defeat – 战胜 – Defeat
Weapon – 武器 – Weapon
According to – 根据 – According to
Give up – 放弃 – Give up
Progress – 进步 – Make progress 取得进步
Zach:This game is so hard! I feel like I will never get used to the battle system. Right now I can fight two or three enemies at a time, but I can’t defeat the boss at the end of the level. I got a really good weapon, but according to my friend, it’s nothing special. I might give up on this game if I can’t make any progress later tonight.
Zach:好的,我们今天到此要结束了。你想要更多Unheard English的节目的话,我有一个条件:帮小扎老师成为网红!请你阿特我在微博上zgilly-unheard,跟朋友们分享节目,并且在荔枝上留言!
Zach:Thanks for listening. I’m going to put some music on now. I would like everybody to leave a comment answering the question: what have you been playing lately? In the next episode, 小扎老师 will highlight the most awesome answers!
Zach:最后要播放一首歌,小扎老师想让你留言回答今天讨论的问题:what have you been playing lately?当然要用英文回答!下一个节目,小扎老师会点名最牛回答的听众哟。
