Right, let's get started with the lesson.
我們開始上課。
Okay, let's start with the word yes.
好吧，讓我們從「是的」這個單詞開始。
I'm pretty confident that most of you know this word, I bet you can't even remember when you learnt this word.
我非常有信心，你們大多數人都知道這個詞，我敢打賭，你甚至不記得什麼時候學到這個詞。
In English, we have lots of alternatives for this word, but learners of English will often find themselves just using the word yes, instead of the alternatives.
在英語中，我們有很多詞可以替代 這個詞，但是英語學習者經常會發現自己只使用「是的」這個詞，而不是用其他的詞。
I have got seven for you today, the first one is this one, yep, yep.
今天我要教你們七個，第一個就是 yep。
Now this is usually used in spoken English, and it's quite informal.
這個詞在通常在口語中使用，它是非常不正式的。
It's a non-standard spelling of yes, and it represents the pronunciation, yep, yep.
它是「yes」的非標準的寫法，看這個單詞就知道它的發音，yep，yep。
"Have you done your homework?"
你做完作業了嗎？
"Yep, yep, I have."
是的，我做完了。
We use it all the time, especially in casual conversations, but when I was teaching students in person, I would use it and they would look at me with a face of confusion.
我們一直使用它，尤其是在隨意的對話中，但是當我親自教學生時，我會用它，他們會困惑地看著我。
It's not a word that you often find in textbooks, an alternative for this which is used more in America, you'll still find it in Britain, but because it's a spoken word rather than a written word, this next alternative represents the American pronunciation more, it's yap, yap.
這不是一個你能在教科書中經常看到的詞，這種替代說法在美國更常用，你還是會在英國發現它，但是因為這是口語而不是書面語，所以下一個替代說法更能夠代表美式發音，那就是 yap，yap。
We also have number three, which is yeah, yeah.
我們還有第三個，那就是 yeah，yeah。
This can be spelled in a variety of ways, but it's normally used in spoken English, and it is just a casual way of saying yes, and I imagine if we did a study of every single sentence uttered by English speakers across the world, I feel that yeah, would be more common than yes.
它的拼法有很多，但它通常用於英語口語它只是一種隨意的回答，我想如果我們研究世界各地的英語使用者說的每句話，我覺得 yeah 會比 yes 更常見。
I feel that I hear it more than yes.
我覺得我更常聽到它，而不是 yes。
Yes has lots of emphasis, it's more formal.
Yes 更強調一些，它更正式。
Yeah, is more casual, and it's easier to say in my opinion.
Yeah 則更隨意一些，而且我覺得它更好發音一些。
Now, number four, is slightly more formal, and it is used to respond usually to a request.
第四個稍微正式一些，而且通常用來回應請求。
It's certainly, certainly.
那就是當然了，當然了。
We also have the more American version which is sure, sure.
當然我們還有更美式的版本，那就是 sure，sure。
"Can you drive me home today?"
你今天能開車送我回家嗎？
"Sure, certainly."
當然，當然。
Now, because in the UK, we watch a lot of American TV programmes and American films, we are becoming more used to using Americanisms like sure, so it's definitely something that we will understand and potentially use.
因為在英國，我們會觀看許多美國電視節目和美國電影，我們越來越習慣於使用美式的說法，比如 sure，所以這絕對是我們會理解並可能使用的詞。
An additional alternative number six is, of course, of course.
第六個替代說法是 of course，of course。
Now the last one, or should I say the last three, but I've grouped them into one, they're not necessarily a direct translation of yes, but they're used in place of yes.
現在說最後一個，或者我應該說最後三個，但我將它們分組為一個，它們不一定是 yes 的直接翻譯，但是它們被用來代替 yes。
They are I do, I will, and I have, and there are many others as well.
它們是 I do，I will，和 I have，還有很多其他的。
I'm talking about echoing a question.
我指的是回答問題的情況。
For example, "Do you like kittens?"
例如，你喜歡小貓嗎？
Instead of saying, yes, you could say I do.
你可以說我喜歡，而不是是的。
"Will you have a kitten soon?"
你馬上會養小貓嗎？
"Yes, I will."
是的，我會的。
"Have you bought an excessive amount of cute kitten toys?"
你是否買了過多的可愛貓咪玩具？
Yes or I have.
是的或我買了。
I just thought I'd mention that one there, so if you find yourself saying yes, a lot, you can switch it up and say something different.
我想我剛剛說了，如果你發現你總是在說 yes，你可以把它換掉，說點別的。
Now, what comes next?
那麼接下來是什麼？
I'll give you a few seconds to guess, it's no.
我給你們幾秒猜一猜，那就是不。
So in the yes section I mentioned yep and yap, we have that informal variant of no as well, it is nope, nope.
我在「yes」的部分提到了「yep」 和「yap」，我們也有「no」的非正式變體，那就是 nope，nope。
"Did you do your homework?"
你做作業了嗎？
"Nope, nope."
沒有，沒有。
Again, as with yep, I think that we use nope, more than no.
同樣地，我認為我們使用 nope 比 no多。
I would like a scientist to do a study into this, it's something I want to know about, but I don't care enough to do it myself.
我希望有科學家對此進行研究，這是我想知道的，但是我自己不太想去做。
Another alternative, which is potentially used more in America, and it's definitely not formal, you would not want to say this to your boss, nah, nah.
另一種替代說法，它在美國使用得更多，而且絕對不正式，你不能對你老闆這麼說，nah，nah。
I use this a lot actually, I'd use it with my friends, I use it to express a bit of disgust.
事實上我經常使用這個詞，我會對我的朋友，我用它來表達一點厭惡。
"Do you want this for dinner?"
你晚餐想要吃這個嗎？
"Urgh, nah, nah"
呃，不，不。
I might also use it if I'm expressing a bit of disbelief.
我可能還會用它來表示一點點懷疑。
"Nah, no, I don't believe that, nah"
不，不，我不相信。
Another one which is very forceful, no way, no way.
另一個詞非常強勢，那就是沒門，沒門。
There is no way in hell that I'm going to do that, no way.
要我做那件事，絕對沒門，沒門。
Now, I'm not sure if you know this, but British people love to say please, thank you, and sorry, sorry, especially all the time, so it should come as no surprise, that sorry, is a perfectly fine alternative for no.
我不確定你是否知道這一點，但英國人總是喜歡說請，謝謝，對不起，尤其是對不起，所以 sorry 是一個完美的替換 no 的說法應該不出奇。
This is global, but especially in Britain.
這不是全球性的，但在英國尤其如此。
"Are you coming tonight?"
今晚你要來嗎？
"Sorry."
對不起。
Don't even have to say no, just a sorry will do.
甚至不必說不，一句對不起就行了。
Something that's slightly less strong is not likely, not likely, rather than saying it's not likely, just not likely will do.
不那麼強勢的說法是不太可能，不太可能，不用說這不太可能，就說不太可能就行了。
"Do you think you'll get a promotion this year?"
你覺得你今年能升職嗎？
"Not likely, no, I don't think "that I will get a promotion this year."
不太可能，不，我認為我今天會升職。
Now another really forceful one, we can say absolutely not, or certainly not.
另一個非常強勢的說法，我們可以說絕對不，或當然不。
I love that word, and I'm noticing it growing in popularity at the moment.
我喜歡這個詞，而且我注意到它越來越受歡迎。
Everyone seems to be saying absolutely, so get on board the absolutely train, absolutely not.
每個人似乎都在說絕對，所以快登上絕對的快車吧，絕對不。
"Will you go out with him again?"
你還會跟他一起出去嗎？
"Absolutely not, certainly not."
絕對不會，當然不會。
If you want to express no in another apologetic way, we have, unfortunately not, unfortunately not.
如果你想用另一種道歉的方式表達，我們可以說不幸的是不可以，不幸的是不可以。
Or we also have, I'm afraid not, I'm afraid not, and don't get this confused, because to be afraid of something is to be scared of something, but if I say I'm afraid not, it means I'm sorry.
或者我們也可以說恐怕不行，不要搞混了，因為 be afraid of 的意思是害怕，但是如果我說恐怕，那意味著我很抱歉。
You know, I'm scared to tell you this because I'm so sorry about it, but no.
你知道的，我不敢告訴你這個，因為我很抱歉，但是不行。
We also have, if only, if only, short for if only I could.
我們還可以說，if only，if only，是要是我可以的話就好了的縮寫。
"Can you come tonight?"
你今晚能來嗎？
"If only, if only I could but I can't."
要是我能去就好了，但是我不可以。
It's implying that you can't.
它暗示你做不到。
And finally one to use if you're offered something or you're offered an experience and you want to decline it, I'll pass, short for I'll pass on that, no, thank you.
最後一個用於當別人主動邀請你或主要邀請你做什麼事情，而你想要拒絕，你可以說我放棄，是我放棄那個，不用了，謝謝你的縮寫。
Right, let's move on to Britain's favourite word, sorry.
好的，現在來說英國人最愛說的詞，對不起。
I've got five alternatives for you.
我為你們提供了五個替代說法。
The first one is I didn't mean it or I didn't mean to.
第一個是，我不是那個意思，或者我不是故意的。
Most of these can be used in conjunction with sorry, so don't worry, Brits watching, you can still use your favourite word.
大部分這些詞可以跟對不起一起使用，所以不用擔心，觀看視頻的英國佬們，你們仍然可以使用自己最喜歡的那個詞。
"I didn't mean to run over your toe."
我不是故意要軋到你的腳趾。
To run over something implies that you have gone over it with your car wheel.
軋到某物意味著你的車輪壓住了那個東西。
Another one, it was wrong of me.
另一個，這是我的錯。
"It was wrong of me to put your white work shirts in with my red knickers."
把你的白色工作服和我的紅色內褲放在一起是我的錯。
You've got pink work shirts now.
現在你的工作襯衫變成了粉色。
Alternatively, you could say I was wrong to.
或者你可以說我錯了。
"I was wrong to go to the concert without you, to go and see your favourite band without you."
沒帶你去看你最愛的樂隊的演唱會是我錯了。
Also we have I should never have.
我們還可以說我本不應該。
"I should never have worn white on your wedding day."
我本不應該在你的婚禮那天穿白色衣服的。
True story, I didn't wear white, but I went to a wedding and a girl was wearing a white bridal-style dress, is this okay in your culture?
這是真實的故事，我沒有穿白色衣服，但我參加了一個婚禮，但一個女孩穿著一件白色的新娘禮服，這在你的文化中是可以的嗎？
Let me know because it's not okay in ours, didn't say anything just judged silently.
請告訴我，因為這在我們的文化裡是不可以的，我什麼都沒說，就是默默地吐槽。
Now the last one, this is definitely an Americanism, it's come over to the UK, and it's very, very casual and can sometimes be considered obnoxious if used in an incorrect situation so be careful with it, but it is my bad, my bad.
最後一個絕對是美國的，它來到英國，非常非常隨意，如果使用不當，有時可能會惹人討厭，所以要小心，那就是我的錯，我的錯。
Now I remember being a young child and hearing this on programmes like Friends, and I didn't really understand what it meant.
我記得我小時候在《老友記》這樣的節目中聽到這個詞，我不是很明白這是什麼意思。
I was always taught to say sorry, of course, because I grew up in Britain and it's our favourite word, but I remember hearing my bad and thinking your bad, like you are bad?
我總是被教導說對不起，當然是因為我在英國長大，這是我們最喜歡的詞，但是我記得我聽到「my bad」的時候，我想「your bad」，意思是你很壞嗎？
No, my bad, it's a very casual, fairly impolite way of saying sorry, it's okay to use it with your friends and if it's not a serious mistake.
不，是我的錯，這個說法很隨意，是說對不起的很不禮貌的說法，這個詞可以對朋友用，如果錯誤不太嚴重的話。
Okay, let's move on to thank you, thank you.
好的，讓我們繼續說謝謝你，謝謝你。
I have got eight alternatives for thank you, lots to do here.
我有八種替換謝謝你的說法，有很多要講。
The first one is you're a star, you're a star, or you're an absolute star, we're using the absolute word.
你一個就是你是一顆星星，你是一顆星星，或者你絕對是顆星星，我們使用了絕對這個詞。
Instead of saying thank you, we're just telling someone that they're so wonderful, and we appreciate them so much.
我們不說謝謝你，我們只是告訴某人他們真是太好了，我們非常感謝他們。
Very similar is you're a life-saver, you're a life-saver.
這個跟你是個救命者很類似，你是個救命者。
So that means that somebody has done something that has saved you a lot of trouble.
這意味著某人所做的某件事使你免於很多麻煩。
Maybe you left your phone on a train, and somebody managed to get in contact with you and give it back to you, "Ah, you're a lifesaver, you've saved my life."
也許你把手機落在火車上了，有人設法與你聯繫並將其還給了你，「啊，你是個救命者，你救了我的命。」
"You've brought me my smartphone back and that is my life."
「你把我的智慧型手機還回來了，這就是我的命。」
Another way of showing that you really appreciate someone, I don't know what I'd do without you.
另一種表示你真的很感激某人的方式，我不知道沒有你我該怎麼辦。
I don't know what I'd do without you, very similar to life-saver.
我不知道沒有你我該怎麼辦，與救命者那個非常相似。
Another one which is a good way to respond to a compliment because if you're lucky enough to receive lots of compliments, you might find yourself saying thank you, thanks, thank you, thanks all the time, and that's a wonderful problem to have.
另一種很適合回應稱讚，因為如果你有幸能夠收到很多讚美，你可能會發現自己在說謝謝，謝謝，這是個美好的煩惱。
But another phrase that we can use is, I appreciate that, I appreciate it, I appreciate that.
但是另一個我們能使用的說法是我很感激。
Yeah, it's a nice one, so next time you receive lots and lots of compliments, you can switch between, thank you, I appreciate that, thanks, I appreciate it.
是的，這個說法不錯，所以下次你收到很多讚美時，你可以在謝謝你，我很感激，謝謝，我很感激之間切換。
Ah, you're just so lucky to have me, aren't you?
有我在你們真是太幸運了，不是嗎？
I have equipped you for your next influx of compliments.
我讓你們準備好接受下一次的讚美潮。
You're welcome.
不客氣。
Now something you can say if someone has made an extra effort for you, if they've gone above and beyond that means to make an extra effort, you can say you shouldn't have, you shouldn't have and this doesn't literally mean, you shouldn't have done something, it's obviously done with a smile.
如果有人為你付出了很多，如果他們做了太多了，也就是說他們額外出了很多力，你可以說你本不應該，你本不應該，它並不是字面上的意思，你本不應該做某事，說這話的時候一定要面帶微笑。
It means you shouldn't have gone to so much effort, thank you so much.
它的意思是你本不應該付出這麼多的，非常感謝你。
Finally, we have three informal ones.
最後我們有三個非正式的說法。
One is extremely British, and there was actually a study, the other day, the other day, I mean a couple of years ago in a very unreliable newspaper, but I enjoyed reading it, saying that this word has now replaced thank you.
一個非常英式，實際上之前有個研究，我指的是幾年前，在一個非常非常不可靠的但是我喜歡看的報紙上說這個詞已經代替了謝謝你。
It is cheers, cheers, and this is typically something we say when we bash our drinks together before drinking them, but now it's something we use instead of thank you.
那就是 cheers，cheers，這通常是我們在喝酒之前一起舉杯時說的話但現在我們用它代替了謝謝。
"Cheers, cheers, mate, thank you for that."
「謝謝，謝謝，夥計，感謝你那麼做。」
Another one, which I don't like, and I've said this before in a video, I don't like it.
另一個我不太喜歡，而且我在之前的視頻說過，我不喜歡它。
At nurseries and at schools, they encourage the children to say ta instead of thank you, because it's easier to say, but when someone says, "Ah, ta, ta very much." I just think it sounds like they're not putting in enough effort, but maybe I just need to get over myself, and then the last one is fab, short for fabulous.
在託兒所和學校，人們鼓勵孩子們說「Ta！」 而不是謝謝你，因為它更容易說，但是當有人說，「啊，非常 ta，ta。」，我會覺得他們沒有努力說，也許我需要過我自己這一關，最後一個詞是 fab，fabulous（棒極了） 的縮寫。
It's just a way of saying, great, thank you so much, fab, that's fab.
它是表達「很好，非常感謝你」的一種方式，棒，很棒。
Okay, lastly, on to overused word number five, it's okay, okay.
好的，最後要說被過度使用的第五個詞，那就是好的，好的。
I have got five here for you.
我要教你們五個替換說法。
The first one is okey-dokey, okey-dokey, or is it Ned Flanders from the Simpsons that says okely-dokely, maybe don't say that, well, you can.
第一個是 okey-dokey，okey-dokey，或者是《辛普森一家》裡的 Ned Flander 說的 okely-dokely，還是別那麼說吧，嗯，你可以這麼說。
Okey-dokey is very common.
Okey-dokey 非常常用。
It's definitely something that's informal.
它毫無疑問是非正式的。
Use it amongst friends.
只能在朋友之間使用。
Potentially don't write it in formal academic writing.
請不要在正式的學術著作中使用。
Definitely don't use it in formal academic writing.
絕對不要在正式的學術著作中使用。
Another very plain and simple alternative is all right, all right, okay, all right, they are almost exactly the same.
另一個非常簡單明了的替換說法是 all right，all right，okay，all right，，它們幾乎完全一樣。
We also have very well, very well which almost implies a little bit of displeasure.
我們還有很好，很好，它暗示了有一點不高興。
"Very well, if that's what you want."
如果那是你想要的，那很好。
Next, we have right-oh, right-oh, and this is one that has come from my fiance, I asked him just before writing this script, if he can think of any other alternatives for okay, and he said right-oh and this is definitely one that is used by the older generation, I think, but I think it's a lovely one, and these older kind of more old fashioned words do come back in fashion.
接下來我們有 right-oh，right-oh，這個是我未婚夫說的，我在寫這個視頻的臺詞之前問他是否能想到其他「okay」的替換說法，然後他說「right-oh」，我想這是絕對是老一輩使用的，但我認為這是一個可愛的說法，這種更老派的說法一定會再次流行的。
If I were to say to him, "Oh, by the way, my mom's coming over for lunch."
如果我對他說，「哦，順便一提，我媽媽要來吃午餐。
"Right-oh, good, okay."
他會說：「很好，好的。」
And the last one, one that is very commonly used in Britain when we don't want to express, positive or negative emotions about something, fair enough, fair enough, okay, I have no feelings about this.
最後一個，一個在英國很常用的說法，當我們不想表達你對某事的正面或負面情緒時，我們會說很公平，很公平，好的，我對這件事沒什麼感覺。
Right, that was it for today's lesson.
好的，這就是今天的課程。
I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope you learned something.
我希望你們喜歡它，我希望你們有所得。
Please feel free to share any other alternatives that you can think of, or any alternatives that you use in your own language that might not necessarily translate into English, but might be interesting.
請隨時分享你想到的你在自己的語言中使用的替換說法，不一定要翻譯成英語，但是可能會很有趣。
I'm always interested in where you're from and what kind of words you use.
我總是對你們來自於哪裡以及你們的用詞很感興趣。
