Hello! I'm Emma from mmmEnglish. English idioms. . .
嗨，我是 Emma，來自mmmEnglish。英語習語…
Can you think of some examples? "The early bird gets the worm!"
你能舉出幾個例子嗎？「早起的鳥兒有蟲吃！」
"Bite your tongue!" Do they "drive you crazy?"
「忍住不說！」它們「把你逼瘋了嗎？」
Idioms are really common English expressions that can be used in formal and informal situations. They're quite challenging to learn because the meaning of the whole idiom, all of the words together, often doesn't relate to the literal meaning of the individual words.
習語是英語中非常常見的一種表達方式，正式和非正式語境都可以使用。學習它們確實很有挑戰性，因為習語整體的意思，所有單詞合在一起的意思，經常和單個單詞的實際意思沒有關係。
The idiom - as you're painfully aware - has its own unique meaning. So in this lesson, I'm going to teach you a few useful idioms that will help you to talk about your holidays.
正如你痛苦地了解到，習語，有它獨特的含義。那麼本節課，我打算教你們一些有用的習語，來幫助你談論你的假期。
Now I'm sure that you'll be able to think about a holiday that you've had in the past and use the idioms that I'm going to share in this lesson to help you talk about them. Now, there are lots of English idioms, but learning to use some of them will help you to sound creative, interesting and fun when you're using English.
現在我確定你能夠想到一些你曾有過的假期，而且能用我即將在本節課教你的習語幫助你談論假期。嗯，英語習語數量巨大，但是學習使用它們會在你說英語的時候讓你聽起來更有創造力，更有意思和趣味。
And of course, it will definitely help you to understand more of what native speakers say. Using idioms correctly in your English speaking exams like IELTS or TOEFL will definitely impress your examiner - so it's worth spending some time learning a few idioms that you can use to talk about holidays that you've had.
當然了，它毫無疑問還會幫助你更多地理解本地人的話。在你的英語考試，比如雅思和託福中正確地使用習語會幫助你給考官留下更深刻的印象。所以花一些時間學習一些習語是非常值得的，這樣你就可以它們談論你度過的假期了。
Now, a quick note. Remember that the tense changes can affect the verb in the idiom - if there is one.
那麼，注意一下。記住如果時態改變了，會影響習語中的動詞，如果有動詞的話。
For example, "We're going to travel light." "We travelled light."
例如，「我們將要輕裝旅行。」「我們輕裝旅行了。」
"We are travelling light." So pay close attention to how I'm using the idiom in these examples.
「我們馬上就輕裝旅行。」所以密切注意我是如何在這些例子中使用習語的。
Now, let's look at that same example again in more detail. "To travel light" or "to pack light".
那麼，我們來更詳細地看一些例子。「輕裝旅行」或者「輕裝上陣」。
Now, if someone travels light or packs light, they don't take a lot of luggage with them on a trip. They don't take lots of bags.
那麼如果某人輕裝旅行或者輕裝上陣，他們在旅行中沒有帶很多行李。他們沒有帶很多行李袋。
"We have to walk a fair way from the station to our hotel, so try to pack light." "We only stayed for three days, so we packed light!"
「我們從車站到旅館不得不走相當長一段路程，所以儘量輕裝上陣。」「我們只打算呆3天時間，所以我們輕裝上陣吧！」
"Do you need some help collecting your luggage, or are you travelling light?" "To hit the road."
「你需要幫忙整理你的行李嗎，還是你要輕裝旅行？」「開始旅行。」
This idiom means to leave or to start a journey. "We're going to hit the road at 8am."
這個習語意思是離開或者開始一段旅程。「我們打算上午8點啟程。」
We're going to leave at 8am. "We hit the road early so that we reached the village by lunchtime."
我們打算上午8點離開。「我們早點啟程這樣我們就能在午飯前到達村莊。」
Now, this idiom is just as easily used when you're at a barbecue with friends and you decide it's time to go home. You can say "Okay, it's time to hit the road" or "It's time I hit the road".
那麼，這個習語只是簡單用於當你和朋友吃燒烤時，你覺得是時候回家了。你可以說「好了，是時候離開了」或者「我該走了」。
"To catch the sun". This idiom is used to say that someone is sunburned, burnt by the sun.
「曬黑」。這個習語被用於指某人被曬黑了，被太陽曬黑了。
"We spent the whole day at the beach so we all caught the sun." To someone who looks sunburnt, you could say "You look like you caught the sun today!"
「我們花了一整天的時間在沙灘上，所以我們都被曬黑了。」對看起來曬黑的某人，你可以說「你今天像是被曬黑了！」
"Try not to catch too much sun today! Keep your hat on." Notice how this idiom can change depending on the tense.
「今天儘量不要被曬黑！戴上帽子。」注意這個習語隨著時態是如何變化的。
Same with the next one - "to live it up" or "to live the life". This idiom is used to say that someone is really enjoying themselves and they're having a really good time.
下一個也一樣 - 「縱情歡樂」或者「逍遙過日」。這個習語用於指某人非常享受，他們度過了一段很棒的時間。
Without worrying about anything - including money. "We're going to live it up in a 5 star resort for a few days!"
不需要擔心任何事，包括金錢。「我們打算在5星酒店好好地享受幾天！」
"We're going to live the life on a beach in Mexico." "We were living the life and having cocktails by the pool when the cyclone hit."
「我們打算在墨西哥的沙灘上縱情歡樂。」「旋風來的時候，我們正縱情歡樂，在遊泳池邊喝著雞尾酒。」
"To do something on a shoestring" or "to do something on the cheap." Now this idiom is nothing like the last one.
「小本經營」或者「廉價地」。這個習語跟上一個一點也不一樣。
If you do something on a shoestring or on the cheap, you do it without spending a lot of money. Staying in hostels is a good option if you're travelling on a shoestring budget.
如果你小本經營某事或廉價地做某事，意思就是你做某事不用花太多錢。如果你旅遊的預算少，住青旅會是個不錯的選擇。
"We travelled through France last year on a shoestring!" "We plan to spend a month in Bali on the cheap and then, live it up in Singapore for a few days before we fly home."
「我們去年用很少的錢去法國旅遊了！"「我們計劃在峇里島用很少的錢呆一個月，在我們回家之前再在新加坡縱情享樂幾天。」
"At the crack of dawn." This idiom describes the earliest time in the day, just as the sun is rising.
「破曉時分。」這個習語用於描述一天中最早的時間，太陽剛剛升起的時候。
"We were up at the crack of dawn to watch the sun rise." "It's a long drive, so we set off at the crack of dawn."
「我們在破曉時分起床看日出。」「這是一段很長的車程，所以我們很早就出發了。」
"Paul got up at the crack of dawn every day to hike around the island." "Bright and early."
「保羅每天在日出時分起床環島騎車。」「一大早。」
Now, this idiom is similar to the last one, it's used to explain that something happens early in the morning. It's not quite as early as at the crack of dawn though.
那麼，這個習語近似於上一個，它用於解釋某事發生在很早的早晨。它不像 at the crack of dawn 那麼早。
"We had to get up bright and early to catch the train to Paris." Another idiom that's similar is "first thing".
「我們不得不一大早起床趕去巴黎的火車。」另一個相似的習語是 "first thing"。
It means before anything else is done in the morning. "We need to check out first thing tomorrow."
它的意思是早上趕在任何其他事完成之前。「我們需要明天一大早需要先退房。」
"You need to call and make a reservation first thing. We don't want to miss out!" "To call it a day" or "call it a night".
「你需要先打電話預約。我們不想有錯漏！」「收工」 或 「今晚到此為止」。
This idiom means to stop doing an activity for the rest of the day or to finish what you're doing at night and go home to bed. "We were so exhausted that we decided to call it a day and ordered room service in our hotel room!"
這個習語意思是在一天中接下來的時間停止做某個活動，或是在晚上完成你正在做的事，回家睡覺。「我們太累了所以決定到此為止，並預定了客房服務到酒店房間！」
"Let's just call it a day and go to the pub!" "I need to call it a night, I've been dancing for 12 hours! !"
「我們今天到此結束，去酒吧吧！」「我需要到此為止了，我已經連續跳了12個小時了！」
"Itchy feet". Okay, so this idiom is used when someone feels the need to travel. They don't want to stay still!
「對旅行的渴望。」那麼這個習語用於某人感到需要去旅行。
My friends always tell me that I have got itchy feet! "After being away from work for so long, it's really difficult to sit at my desk for eight hours a day!
他們不想在呆著不動了！「在這麼長時間不工作之後，再在椅子上一呆8個小時真的很難！
I've got itchy feet already!" "I noticed that Ben is really distracted at the moment.
我已經開始渴望旅行了！」「我發現 Ben 現在真的注意力很分散。
Do you think he's got itchy feet?" So there were quite a few idioms there, weren't there?
