Well hey there, I'm Emma from mmmEnglish! Today I'm going to teach you to introduce yourself effectively.
大家好呀，我是艾瑪，歡迎來到美味英語頻道！今天呢，我要教大家如何有效地介紹自己。
And there are three reasons why this is such an important skill to learn. Of course, we've got to introduce ourselves all the time, right?
這是三個為什麼這個技能是大家需要學習的非常重要的技能的原因。當然了，我們總是需要介紹自己，對吧？
In lots of different contexts. So spending the time getting your introduction right is gonna help you and it's gonna benefit you over and over and over again.
在許多不同的情況下。所以花一些時間來學習正確地介紹自己肯定會幫助你，而且它將使你一直受益。
And when you meet someone new, you will likely feel a little nervous. It's totally normal, right?
當你遇到新朋友的時候，你可能會感到有些緊張。非常正常，對吧？
But if you can get off to a good start, then it's gonna help you to feel more confident going into the rest of the conversation. So nailing that first introduction is so important.
但是如果你對話開始的時候不錯的話，那會幫助你感到更加自信地進行剩下的對話。因此，抓住首次的介紹非常重要。
And of course, if you can introduce yourself clearly and confidently, you'll make a great first impression with people that you meet.
This is going to help you build great relationships, to make friends and be liked which really, deep down is what we all really want.
當然了，如果你可以清楚而自信地自我介紹，那你肯定會給和你見面的人留下很好的第一印象。這將幫助你建立良好的人際關係，交到朋友，讓自己被喜歡，而這其實是我們所有人真正想要的。
Ideally, you're watching this video with your notebook handy so that you can take some notes as we go.
You can listen to me talk about introducing yourself as much as you like but if you don't start playing with the language and the ideas that I'm sharing today to make it useful and relevant for yourself, what's the point?
最好的是，你看視頻的時候旁邊有筆記本，以便在學習過程中記一些筆記。你可以聽我談論如何介紹自己，想聽多少都可以，但如果你不開始使用一下我今天要分享的這些語言和想法，讓它們對你而言是有用並且相關的話，那又有什麼意義呢？
So if you've shown up today and you're ready to participate in this lesson, let me know in the comments, I'm really excited to get started.
And of course, if you can think of a friend or a colleague who needs to work on this skill too, share this lesson with them, make sure you subscribe and let's get into it!
所以呢，如果你今天出現了，並準備參加這節課程，那就在評論中告訴我吧，我非常激動地想要開始呢。當然了，如果你能想到一個朋友或同事，而他也需要鍛鍊這項技能的話，那就與他們分享一下本節課程吧，請確保你訂閱了哦，那就讓我們開始吧！
So imagine hearing this question: Tell us about yourself.
想像一下你聽到這個問題：向我們介紹你自己。
And feeling cool, calm and collected as you reply. That is exactly what we're working towards today.
而且當你回復時，你感覺鎮定自若。這正是我們今天努力的方向。
We want to, not only just answer this question with ease, but we want to do it accurately as well. There are lots of different places and contexts where you might need to introduce yourself.
我們不僅要輕鬆地回答這個問題，而且也要準確地回答。有很多不同的地方和情境，你可能需要進行自我介紹。
Some of them are formal, some of them are really informal. So knowing your context and your audience is extremely important, I can't stress that enough.
其中一些是正式的，而其中一些是非正式的。所以了解你的語境和聽眾非常重要，再怎麼強調也不過分。
It's so important. And adjusting your introduction just slightly to those different situations is a really powerful skill to learn.
非常非常重要。根據不同的情況稍微調整一下你的自我介紹是需要學習的一個非常強有力的技能。
Because it might be useful to talk about your education and your profession in some contexts, but really weird to bring that up at a party, right? Like that's a good way to bore someone to tears.
因為在某些情況下談論你的學歷和你的職業可能會比較有用，但是在派對上說這個其實很奇怪，對吧？不過是讓人感到無聊到爆的一個好方法。
So let's get started with your introduction today. And how do we start?
所以今天讓我們開始你的自我介紹吧。我們如何開始呢？
We start really simply and casually with your name. I am Emma or I'm Emma.
我們非常簡單隨意地從你的名字開始。我是艾瑪。
Now in most situations, it's much more natural to use the contraction I'm Emma, it sounds much more relaxed that way. You can also say: My name is Emma.
在大多數情況下，使用縮寫形式 I'm Emma 是更加自然的，這種聽起來要輕鬆得多。你也可以說：我的名字是艾瑪。
Or my name's Emma. Simple, right? You've got this.
或者是我叫艾瑪。簡單吧？你學到這個啦。
Now what if you have a preferred name or a nickname? It is always really good to let the person who you're addressing know right up front right?
如果你有更喜歡的名字或者是暱稱呢？讓和你對話的人剛開始就知道是很好的，對吧？
And an informal way to do that is to say: My friends all call me. . . My name is Beatrice, but my friends all call me Bee.
一種非正式的方式可以說：我的朋友都叫我……我的名字叫貝阿特麗採，但我的朋友都叫我貝。
A slightly more formal way to do that is to say: My name is Ybiskay, but it's hard for some people to say it, so you can call me Ybis.
一種更正式的說法是：我叫 Ybiskay，但是對於有些人來說很難念，所以你可以叫我 Ybis。
This is a really great expression to note down if people find it really hard to say your name. Maybe it's a long name, maybe it's not a very common name in the place where you live.
如果人們真的很難說出你的名字的話，這是一個很好的可以記下來的表達。也許這個名字很長，也許在你居住的地方這個名字並不是非常常見。
You kind of get sick of having to explain it again and again. So as long as you don't mind, then this is a really great way to introduce your name or a version of your name that you'd like to be called.
你有點討厭一次又一次地解釋它。所以只要你不介意的話，那麼這是介紹你名字或者是你想被大家叫的名字的非常好的方式。
The next piece of basic information to include is something about location. It could be to do with where you're living now or where you're from originally.
下一部分要包含的基本信息是關於位置的。這可能與你現在居住的地方有關，或者是你原來是來自哪裡的。
And there's lots of different ways to elaborate on this type of information. So I'm going to give you a few different ways of doing it here but it's up to you to pick and choose which version works best for your story.
有很多不同的方法可以對這種類型的信息進行詳細地說明。因此呢，我將在這裡為大家提供幾種不同的方法來進行介紹，但是要選擇哪個版本是取決於你的啦，選擇那個對你而言最好的版本。
Okay so experiment, get a little playful with some of these combinations. I'm from Australia.
嘗試一下吧，和這些組合玩一玩。我來自澳大利亞。
And again, I'm using that contracted form here because I am from Australia sounds just a little bit stiff, you know so to sound more relaxed, and more natural, say: I'm from with your country or your city name, could be either.
You could say: I am and your nationality adjective, so I'm Australian.
同樣地，我在這裡使用的是縮寫形式，因為I am from Australia 聽起來有點僵硬，所以要聽起來更放鬆更自然地話，你可以說：我來自加你的國家或者是你的城市的名字，兩者都可以。你可以說：我是，然後加你的國籍形容詞，所以我是澳大利亞人。
Turkish, Vietnamese, Brazilian. These are all examples of nationality adjectives.
土耳其人，越南人，巴西人。這些都是國籍的形容詞的例子。
And these nationality adjectives are usually different to the country name, right? So you've got to be careful that you're using the right form of the word with each of these expressions.
這些國籍形容詞通常對應的是不同的國家名，對吧？所以要小心一點哦，保證你使用的是這些表達的正確形式。
We don't say: I'm from Australian.
我們不說：我來自澳大利亞人。
Or I am Australia. Now if you said: I'm from Melbourne.
或者我是澳大利亞。現在呢，如果你說：我來自墨爾本。
It's actually not super clear whether that's the place where you live now or where you're from originally.
So if you're not from the place that you're in while you're making the introduction, then you could say: I come from a place, you know and we use this when there's a bit of distance between where you are now and wherever that place is so it could be another city or another country.
其實並沒有說清楚那是你現在住的地方，還是你生於這個地方。因此，如果你不是來自你所在的地方，在進行自我介紹時，那麼你可以說：我來自某個地方，當你現在所在的地方和這個地方有點點距離的話，那我們就會使用這個表達，那個地方可以是另外一個城市或者是另外一個國家。
But if you want to be clearer, all you need to do is just choose some more specific verbs. You could say:
但是，如果你想說得更加清晰的話，你所要做的就是選擇一些更具體的動詞。你可以說：
I was born in, with the place name. I was born in Melbourne.
我生於，加上那個地方的名字。我出生在墨爾本。
I grew up in or I was raised in. Or even, I spent my childhood in and a place name, so this is talking about you know when you were a child, where were you what were you doing, it's an interesting way to bring up that part of your life.
我在哪裡長大。甚至是，我在某個地方度過了我的童年，所以這是在談論你小時候的事情，你在哪裡，你在做什麼，這是一種有趣地方式去回憶那部分生活。
And they all express a really similar idea so you can pick and choose how you use them. I was born in Australia and spent my childhood growing up in various cities along the east coast.
它們表達的意思非常相似，所以你可以選擇你想要使用哪個。我出生在澳大利亞，成長在東海岸的各個城市。
I'm originally from Melbourne, but now I'm based in Perth. So if you wanna say how long you've been living in your current location, it is the perfect chance to use the present perfect.
我來自墨爾本，但是現在我住在珀斯。所以，如果你想說自己在目前的地方住了多久的話，那其實是使用現在完成時的非常完美的機會。
I've been living in Perth since 2016. I've lived in Perth for the past four years.
自2016年以來，我一直住在珀斯。我在珀斯住了四年了。
Or I could also say: I moved to Perth a few years ago.
或者我也可以說：我幾年前搬到了珀斯。
There are just so many different ways to express this information, honestly. I could keep going!
說實話，其實有很多方式來表達這些信息。我可以繼續說很多！
And I'm sure that many of these structures are actually really familiar to you but as you're preparing your introduction, really pay attention to the story that you're telling. And take the time to make sure that you're expressing your ideas accurately.
而且我敢肯定，其中有很多結構你應該都很熟悉，但是當你準備自我介紹時，還是要注意你在講述的故事。花些時間，確保你在準確地表達你的想法。
And once you write your introduction, you are most welcome to add it down into the comments below. I'll take a look at as many as I can and make sure that they sound awesome.
而且呢，如果你寫完了你的自我介紹的話，非常歡迎把它添加到下方的評論區哦。我會儘可能多地看一些，確保它們聽起來是很不錯的。
So talking about your name, your location, these are the basics. And like I said earlier, if you can get this part right, and you can just say it really naturally as soon as you get asked, then this is going to set you up really well for what comes next.
說說你的名字，你的位置，這些是最基本的信息。就像我之前說的，如果你能把這部分說好，當別人問到你的時候，你就可以很自然地說出來，那你就為接下來要做的事情做好準備了。
And what comes next really does depend on the context so I've got a few different options for you to consider here. If you are introducing yourself to a new neighbour for example, you might choose to focus more on your family.
接下來要說的其實取決於語境，所以我有幾種不同的選擇可以供大家考慮。比如說你要向你的新鄰居介紹一下自己的話，你可以選擇更加側重於你的家庭。
But then if you're introducing yourself at a job interview you might talk about job related experience, obviously. And if you're introducing yourself to an English class, you might focus on your hobbies and your interests, things that will help the other people in your class connect with you and you know, reveal their shared interests.
但是如果你是在面試中介紹自己時，很顯然你可能會談論與工作相關的經歷。如果要向英語課上的同學介紹自己的話，你可能會側重於自己的興趣愛好，那些會幫助班上的同學和你建立聯繫的事情，表現出大家共同的興趣。
Now you might want to talk about your family a little bit when you introduce yourself. And the amount of information that you share here is up to you whatever you feel comfortable sharing.
現在呢，你可能想在自我介紹的時候談談您的家人。你在這裡分享的信息量取決於你覺得分享多少是感覺比較舒服的。
We want to be careful not to overshare you know, to bore someone with your entire family history unless they asked for it because they're particularly interested. But if you're married you would say:
我們要注意不要過度分享，你說自己的家族史太多以至於讓人感到無聊，除非是他們自己問的，因為他們非常感興趣。但是，如果你結婚了，你可以說：
We've been married since and a time or a date. I've been married to my husband since August last year.
我們已經結婚多長時間了。我去年八月份和我的丈夫結婚了。
For example. Now if you're not married but you still want to mention the length of your relationship, you can say:
例如。如果你還沒有結婚的話，但你仍然想提一下你的的戀愛時間長短，你可以說：
We've been together for and a time period. Okay, we've been together.
我們在一起已經有一段時間了。我們一直在一起。
In a relationship context, that tells the length of your relationship. I always find it kind of tricky to talk about my relationship with my partner in English because we don't actually have many words to describe it.
在談論關係的語境中，這表明了你的關係持續了多長時間。我發現用英語來談論我和我的伴侶的關係有點點困難，因為我們實際上沒有很多詞彙來描述它。
My partner, Shah and I have been together for eleven years now. We're engaged but we've been engaged for about six or seven years now.
我的伴侶 Shah 和我在一起已經十一年了。我們已經訂婚了，但已經有六七年了。
So we have no plans to get married so he's not ever going to be my husband. I can introduce him as my fiance, but then I always get asked:
我們沒有結婚的計劃，所以他永遠不會成為我的丈夫。我可以介紹他為我的未婚夫，但之後我總是被問到：
When's the wedding? You know, what are your plans? And of course, we have none so that conversation gets really boring.
什麼時候舉辦婚禮呢？你們有什麼計劃呢？當然了，我們沒有計劃，所以對話就會變得很無聊。
And after eleven years of being together, the word boyfriend is really flippant and not particularly useful so I usually just call him my partner. But in our situation, we are business partners too and so in that context, things can also get really confusing.
在一起七年之後，男朋友這個詞聽起來比較輕率，而且不是特別有用，所以我通常只會把他稱為我的伴侶。但是我們的情況是這樣的，我們也是事業合作夥伴，因此在這種語境中，事情也會變得非常混亂。
So if you want to talk about the family that you live with, then you could say something like: We're a family of five.
因此，如果你想談論和你一起居住的家人的話，那麼你可以說：我們一家五口。
I live here with my family. We're a family of five.
我和家人一起住在這裡。我們一家五口。
But if you're talking about the family that you grew up in, then you need to clarify, you need to say: I grew up in a family of five.
但是，如果你想談論的是你長大的家庭的話，那你需要說清楚，你需要說：我成長於一個五口之家。
Now that information is pretty general, it could be a single parent and four kids, or it could be two parents and three kids it's pretty loose. If you have children that you wanna talk about, say:
這些信息是非常籠統的，可能是一個單親父母和四個孩子，或者可能是兩個父母和三個孩子，是很鬆散的。如果你有想要談論的孩子，那麼可以說：
I have a seven year old son. I'm a single parent.
我有一個七歲的兒子。我是單親父母。
I'm a mother of twins. And it's really nice to add a little bit commentary around family members, just to make it a bit more interesting.
我是一對雙胞胎的母親。對家庭成員添加一些評論是很好的，可以讓事情更加有趣一點。
You could say: I'm a single mum. I've got twin girls, they're five years old.
你可以說：我是一個單身媽媽。我有一對雙胞胎女兒，她們五歲了。
And they just started school this year, so it's been pretty exciting for us! And the reason why adding just a little bit of this type of information is so great, is because it gives hints and clues to the person that you're talking to to help them continue the conversation in a really positive way.
她們今年才剛開始上學，所以對我們來說都非常令人興奮！為什麼添加一些這種類型的信息是非常好的呢，這是因為它為和你交談的人提供了一些提示和線索，幫助他們以一種非常積極的方式繼續進行對話。
You know they could ask: What school are they going to?
你知道他們會問：他們要去哪所學校？
Or maybe comment and say: You know, now that they're at school, you must feel like you've got so much time to yourself again! ?
或者也許發表評論說：你懂得，既然她們上學了，那你肯定覺得自己有更多時間了，對吧！？
Something like that. When you're talking about your brothers and sisters, of course you can say: I've got three sisters.
類似這樣的事情。當然了，當你談論你的兄弟姐妹時，你可以說：我有三個姐妹。
But it's a bit of a mouthful to say: I've got two brothers and three sisters.
但這說起來有點點拗口：我有兩個兄弟和三個姐妹。
Right? So instead, we use the word siblings to talk about brothers and sisters, it's quite general. Two brothers and a sister would equal three siblings.
好了嗎？因此我們會使用兄弟姐妹這個詞來談論兄弟和姐妹，這是一個比較籠統的說法。兩個兄弟和一個妹妹等於三個兄弟姐妹。
I have three siblings. Now when you say that, it doesn't include you.
我有三個兄弟姐妹。當你這麼說時，其中是不包括你的。
Okay you're talking about the other children in your family. If you want to include you, say:
好的，你談論的是家庭中的其他孩子。如果要包括你的話，那就說：
I am one of four siblings. And if you've got no siblings, then you're an only child.
我是四個兄弟姐妹之一。如果你沒有兄弟姐妹，那麼你就是唯一的孩子。
I'm an only child. You might also want to talk about your extended family.
我是獨生子。你可能還想談談你的大家庭。
Now this is a really, really great expression to use when you're talking about aunties, uncles, grandparents, cousins. By saying extended family, you're including all of them, you don't have to go into detail about who and how many, and all of that kind of thing.
當你談論阿姨、叔叔、祖父母和表親時，這是一個非常非常有用的表達方式。說到大家庭呢，你就包括了所有人，你不會詳細地說是誰以及有多少人這種事情。
I live in Perth, but most of my extended family lives in Melbourne. But saying extended family means you don't need to list out everyone, right?
我住在珀斯，但我的大部分大家庭成員都住在墨爾本。但是說大家庭意味著你不需要列舉出所有的人，對吧？
So you might want to talk about interests or hobbies, things that you do outside of work. We'll talk about work in a second so don't jump ahead.
你可能想談談興趣或愛好，工作以外的事情。我們很快就會談論工作，不要跳過哦。
But to talk about hobbies, you might say: I enjoy with a noun. I enjoy baking.
但是談論愛好時，你可以說：我喜歡加一個名詞。我喜歡烘烤。
Don't say: I enjoy to bake. Right? Enjoy as a verb is always followed by a noun and this is a gerund, okay?
不要說：我喜歡烘烤。對吧？享受作為動詞後面總是加一個名詞，而且一個動名詞，好嗎？
You can always say I like or I love with a noun. So I love playing football, for example.
你可以說我喜歡或者是我愛，後面一個名詞。例如，我喜歡踢足球。
But the verbs like and love, they can be followed by a gerund or the verb infinitive and the meaning stays the same. So you can also say: I love to play football.
但是動詞「喜歡」和「愛」，它們後面可以是動名詞或動詞不定式形式，意思是一樣的。所以你也可以說：我喜歡踢足球。
The meaning is exactly the same. You could say: I'm really into something.
含義完全相同。你也可以說：我真的很喜歡某件事情。
And this is a really great, a really natural way of talking about the things that you like. I'm really into jazz music.
這是一種談論自己喜歡的事情非常棒，非常自然的方式。我真的很喜歡爵士音樂。
Now having a couple of interesting things to include about yourself in your introduction is so useful in lots of different contexts.
If you've ever been part of an English class or some other meeting, where you've got to meet people for the first time, then the teacher will often suggest let's go around the room and you'll need to introduce yourself.
在你的自我介紹中包含一些關於你的有趣的事情在很多情境中都是非常有用的。如果你曾經參加過英語課或其他會議的話，你第一次見到某個人，老師會經常建議我們在教室轉轉，進行自我介紹。
Tell us your name, where you're from and something interesting about yourself. It's always good to have something ready to answer this question, maybe you've got a special talent or an interesting hobby or a unique achievement that you can share in the situation.
告訴我們你的名字，你來自哪裡，以及關於自己的一些有趣的事情。準備一些內容來回答這個問題是非常好的，也許你有特殊的才能或有趣的愛好，或者是可以在這種情況下分享的獨特成就。
And a fun way of introducing this it to say: One thing you may not know about me is. . .
一種有趣的介紹方式是說：你可能不了解我的一件事是……
One thing you may not know about me is I love to have dinner parties and I'll spend whole days preparing and organising themed events for my friends. So I'm curious to hear your ideas about this.
你可能不了解我的一件事是我很喜歡宴會，我會花一整天的時間為我的朋友準備和組織主題活動。我很好奇大家是怎麼想的。
See if you can finish the rest of this sentence down in the comments below. One thing you may not know about me is. . .
看看你是否能在下方的評論區完成剩下的句子。你可能不了解我的一件事是……
Of course, you might want to talk about your job, right? So when you're talking about your job, when you're talking about your job in your introduction, usually you're just sharing what you do and maybe who you work for.
當然了，你可能想談談你的工作，對吧？當你談論工作時，當你在自我介紹的時候談論你的工作的時候，通常只是分享你從事的工作以及可能為誰工作。
And again, there are lots of different ways to talk about your work, the company, etcetera. But what we really want to do today is make sure you're doing it accurately.
然後同樣地，有很多不同的方式談論你的工作，你的公司等等。但是我們今天真正想做的是確保你說的是正確的。
Prepositions and articles are really challenging to get right in this section, might be a little tricky so I hope that you are definitely taking notes as we go and that you're applying the information that I'm sharing now to your situation. Of course you could say: I am a or an and a job position.
在本部分中介詞和冠詞是非常具有挑戰性的，可能有些困難，所以我希望大家在我們進行的時候記一下筆記，將我要分享的信息運用到你的情況之中。當然你可以說：我是一個……加一個職位。
Your job position is a countable noun so this means you need to include an article. I'm a graphic designer.
你的職位是可數名詞，所以這意味著你需要加上冠詞。我是一名平面設計師。
I'm an engineer. Just make sure you're not saying: I'm engineer.
我是個一名工程師。一定不要說：我是工程師。
That's wrong, okay? And if there's only one of your role within your company, then you definitely can use the definite article, the.
那是錯的，好嗎？如果你的職位在公司中只有一個的話，那麼你就需要使用定冠詞 the。
Okay I talk more about definite and indefinite articles up here in this video. But you could say I am the CEO of a tech company.
我在這個視頻中更加詳細地談論了定冠詞和定冠詞。但是你可以說：我是一家科技公司的執行長。
Or I am the owner of a florist. You could also talk really generally about the field or the industry that you work in by using in.
或者是：我是一家花店的店主。你也可以大致談論一下你所從事的領域，使用 in。
I work in and the industry. I work in marketing.
我在什麼行業工作。我從事市場營銷工作。
I work in construction. I work in design.
我在建築行業工作。我從事設計工作。
Now if you wanna say which company employs you, then you can use either at or for with the company name. So you might say: I work at Vogue.
現在呢，如果你想說是哪家公司僱用的你，你可以說 at 或者是 or 加公司的名字。所以你可以說：我在 Vogue 工作。
Or I work at an architecture firm. Or I work for the government.
或者是我在一家建築公司工作。或者是我為政府工作。
Do you work for yourself? Are you your own boss?
你為自己工作嗎？你是你自己的老闆嗎？
Well in this case you could say: I work for myself. I'm self-employed.
在這種情況下，你可能會說：我為自己工作。我是自由職業者。
Or I run my own business. And here's a little hint.
或者是我在經營自己的生意。這裡有一些提示。
If you're unsure about how to talk about your job in your industry, as it relates to your industry, then listen to others who are from your industry introduce themselves.
Lots of TedTalks or lots of industry-relevant videos around where you can listen to people introduce themselves in that context and learn from them.
如果你不確定如何談論在你的行業中你的工作，它和這個行業有什麼聯繫的話，那就可以聽聽和你同行業的人是如何介紹自己的。很多 TedTalk 或者是很多與行業相關的視頻，你可以在這些視頻中聆聽人們在這種情況下是如何介紹自己的，並且向他們學習。
You may want to talk about education or your qualifications in your introduction and this is most common in a professional context maybe in an interview or you know, a work context. And again, there's lots of different ways that you can do this.
你可能想在你的自我介紹中談論你的教育或資質的話，這是在專業環境中最常見的，也許是在面試中，或者是在工作環境中。同樣地，你可以通過多種不同的方式來說這個。
You could say: I have a degree in with an industry.
你可以說：我有某個行業的學位。
like architecture or design. I have a degree in engineering.
例如建築或設計。我擁有工程學學位。
You can also say: I'm a qualified with your job title. I'm a qualified engineer.
你還可以說：我是具有資質的，加你的職位頭銜。我是一名具有資質的工程師。
I'm a qualified architect. Now notice that I'm using the job title and not the industry there, okay?
我是一名具有資質的建築師。請注意，我使用的是職位名稱，而不是行業，對吧？
Sounds similar to saying I'm an architect but the difference is that the adjective qualified clarifies your status. Add it if it feels important to clarify given the context.
聽起來類似於說我是建築師，但是區別在於形容詞「具有資質的」標明了你的身份。如果需要根據上下文進行澄清，那就把它給加進去吧。
Maybe in an interview it's relevant. But there's no need to tell someone at a party that you're a qualified engineer, alright?
也許在採訪中很有關係。但是沒有必要在聚會上告訴別人你是具有資質的工程師，對吧？
In that context, you would just say: I'm an engineer. If you're studying at university now then some of these expressions are gonna be really useful.
在這種情況下，你只會說：我是個工程師。如果你現在正在大學學習，那麼這些表達應該非常有用。
I'm studying with the industry. I'm studying environmental science.
我正在學習這個行業。我正在學習環境科學。
Or it could also be the name of your degree as well. I'm studying applied science.
或者也可以是你的學位的名稱。我正在學習應用科學。
I'm completing a PhD in and whatever the research area is, maybe it's public health. I'm completing a PhD in Public Health.
我正在攻讀博士學位，加上你的研究領域，也許是公共衛生。我正在攻讀公共衛生博士學位。
I'm in my final year of something degree. You know, I'm in my final year of an economics degree.
我正處於攻讀學位的最後一年。我正在攻讀經濟學的最後一年。
I'm nearing the end of my studies is another way of expressing that. And maybe you're undertaking some less formal training.
我的學業即將結束是另一種表達方式。也許你正在接受一些非正式的培訓。
And that's totally cool as well, you might wanna say: I'm currently taking an online course to upskill. Or I'm doing an extra course to improve my skills in that area, something like that.
而且那也很酷，你可能想說：我目前正在參加在線課程，以提高我的技能。或者我正在讀一門額外的課程來提高自己在那個領域的技能。
So by now you should have a whole list of dot point ideas that we can start to build your introduction around. For me, we could say: I'm Australian.
到目前為止，你現在應該有一個完整的清單了，那我們就可以開始構建你的自我介紹啦。對我來說，我們可以說：我是澳大利亞人。
I live in Perth. I'm originally from Melbourne.
我住在珀斯。我原來是墨爾本人。
Interests, hobbies. I love swimming in the ocean every morning.
我的興趣愛好是。我喜歡每天早上在大海裡遊泳。
I'm a qualified English teacher. I teach on YouTube.
我是一名具有資質的英語老師。我在YouTube上教課。
I'm interested in businesses and startups. Great!
我對企業和初創公司非常感興趣。太棒了！
Okay have you got your list ready too? If not, just hit pause now, pause the video, write out your list and then continue on.
好的，你也準備好你的清單了嗎？如果沒有的話，請點擊暫停，暫停視頻，寫出你的列表，然後再繼續。
Because now we need to find a way to pull all of those ideas together, okay? We want to make sure that your sentences flow together and that they sound really natural as you speak or you say your introduction.
因為現在我們需要找到一種方法來把所有的這些想法組織在一起，好嗎？我們要確保，當你說話或進行自我介紹時，你的句子放在一起是流暢的，它們聽起來很自然。
And to do that we need to combine these ideas into some longer sentences and add a few grammatical words to help. Hi, I'm Emma.
為此，我們需要將這些想法組合成一些較長的句子，並添加一些語法詞彙來把這些句子給組織起來。嗨，我是艾瑪。
I was born in Melbourne and I grew up in various cities along the east coast of Australia. I've been living in Perth on the west coast of Australia with my partner for the past four years and we absolutely love it, especially early morning ocean swims!
我出生於墨爾本，我在澳大利亞東海岸的各個城市長大。我和我的伴侶一起住在澳大利亞西海岸的珀斯已經四年了，我們非常喜歡它，特別是清晨在海洋中遊泳！
I'm a qualified English teacher and I teach students online and I also have an interest in business and startups, as well. One thing you may not know about me is that I teach millions of students each month on my YouTube channel.
我是一名具有資質的英語老師，我在網上教學生，我也對商業和初創公司非常感興趣。你可能不了解我的一件事是，我每月都會在我的 YouTube 網站上教數以百萬計的學生。
Now obviously you know that about me, but most people I meet don't so, it's always an interesting conversation starter. This is the type of script that I want you to write now.
你肯定知道我的這個情況，但是我遇到的大多數人並非如此，所以它是一個非常有趣的開場白。這就是我想讓大家寫的那種類型的稿子。
Alright, and once you've got it written down, make sure you share it down in the comments below so that I can give you some feedback and some corrections to help you improve it if you need it.
The sooner you get your introduction written and shared down below, the better, the more likely I'll be to see it and be able to respond.
好的，你寫下來之後，一定要在下方的評論區分享哦，這樣我可以給你一些反饋和糾正，在需要的時候幫助你進行提升。越早把你的自我介紹寫下來並且分享在下面越好，因為我越有可能看到它，並能夠進行回應。
I definitely love to see you each commenting and giving support and constructive feedback to each other down in the comments below. It's so helpful and it helps everyone to keep improving together.
我非常希望看到大家都在下方評論，我也很願意給大家提供支持和建設性的反饋。這非常有幫助，它可以幫助每個人不斷進步。
Now once you have your script prepared and reviewed, save it on your phone, make a recording of it, whatever it takes to just have it with you regularly okay? And you need to practise it out loud.
如果你寫完了你的稿子並且檢查完畢了的話，那就把它保存在手機上，進行錄音，不管是什麼形式，要經常帶著它，好嗎？而且你需要大聲練習。
Alright? On a daily basis. Don't just read it, practise how it sounds, how it comes out of your mouth.
好嗎？每天都要練習。不要只是讀出來，練習它的發音，它是如何從你的嘴裡發出來的。
This is going to help you to speak more naturally, feel more comfortable as you are saying the words and the sounds and connecting those things together. It's really, really important that you practise out loud daily until you nail this.
這將幫助你在說話的時候說得更加自然，讓你感覺更加有自信，而且能夠把這些聯繫起來。每天大聲練習直到你完全掌握了，是非常重要的。
But even before then, you know, start practising it in real English situations. It's probably not going to be perfect at first, but you will get better every time you put it into that context.
但是，即使在那之前，也要開始在真實的英語情境中進行練習。起初可能並不完美，但每次在語境中練習都會變得更好。
And you put yourself into that situation or you hear that question: Tell me about yourself.
你讓自己置身於這種情況，或者是你聽到了這個問題：介紹一下你自己。
And you might freeze at first but it's going to change over time, you know, you've prepared for this. You've got your answers ready.
一開始你可能會僵住，但是隨著時間的流逝情況會改變的，因為你已經為此做好了準備。你已經準備好了答案。
You don't need to panic and that is the kind of headspace and feeling that you need to step into a conversation with. I hope this lesson was really practical, really useful for you.
你無需感到驚慌，那就是你需要進入一個對話所帶著的感覺。希望本節課程確實是有用的，你覺得很有用。
And if you're ready to keep building your conversation skills and learn how to keep your conversation going after you've introduced yourself, well move along to this lesson right here where we'll practise some small talk conversation starters together. I'll see you in there!
如果你準備繼續鍛鍊自己的對話技巧，了解在介紹自己之後如何讓對話進行下去，那就看看這節課程吧，在這裡我們將進行練習一些閒聊的開場白。再見！
