  • 老外来了:不上班你养我啊?我养你啊!老外聊中国电影

    主播:Vip(澳大利亚) 翩翩(中国)
    结尾:电影《甜蜜蜜》原声带


    1.《霸王别姬》
    说的是一辈子,差一年,一个月,一天,一个时辰...都不算一辈子!
    We were meant to be together for a lifetime.If it is one year less, one month less,one day less, or an hour less, then it’s no lifetime.

    Be meant to = be supposed to
    Lifetime: 一生的时间


    Note: 一个时辰英文表达其实是two hours,但这里为了保持统一,强调文学性用 an hour.


    2.《一声叹息》
    这么多年,牵着你的手,就象左手牵着右手没有感觉,但砍下去也会生疼。
    In all these years, when I was holding your hands,
    The feeling is not there, like my left hand holding my right hand. But if you cut it, it’s painful.

    Hold hands: 牵手
    Attachment:附件 依附的关系(非爱情维系的男女关系)


    3.《甜蜜蜜》


    傻丫头,回去泡个热水澡,睡个好觉,明天早上起来满街都是男人,个个都比豹哥好。
    Silly girl, go back have a warm bath and a good sleep, 
    when you wake up tomorrow morning, you’ll find many good men on the street, much better than Bao Ge.


    the mafia:黑社会, 
    he is in the mafia 他是黑社会
    he's in danger 出事了
    Have a bath 泡澡
    Take a shower 冲澡


    4.《花样年华》
    如果有多一张船票,你会不会跟我走?
    If I have more than one ticket, will you go with me?

    维普老师是一个typical指南,他觉得:

    * 类似于“如果你先遇见的是我,会不会爱上我?”之类的问题,就像是问“你说明年圣诞节会不会下雪?”一样的silly.

    * 如果有女生如此问,他说他当然会回答:Yes! (说你想听的答案,你开心就好咯)

    5.《纵横四海》
    其实爱一个人并不是要跟她一辈子的。我喜欢花,难道你摘下来让我闻;我喜欢风,难道你让风停下来;我喜欢云,难道你就让云罩着我;我喜欢海,难道我就去跳海?
    Actually if you love someone, you don’t have to be with them for a lifetime.I love flowers, It doesn’t mean that you should take it and smell it; I love the wind, It doesn’t mean that you should ask the wind to stop blowing. I love clouds, It doesn’t mean that you should have them shelter only me. I love the ocean, but I will not jump into it.

  • 老外来了:国人这10个标志,你全中了吗?

    一席英语出品

    主播:Alan(美国)   翩翩(中国)

    音乐:Listen - One OK Rock


    Today's fun topic:

    What are some telltale signs of person is Chinese?   判断中国人的标志有哪些?


    telltale signs   标志

    How you know what can you see a people is doing, from that you can tell where they from.   Telltale signs 就是从一个人的行为举止可以判断出这个人是哪个国家的、文化是什么样子的。


    We will look at a funny list of top 10 culture differences that foreigners noticed.   一些外国人在了解中国文化之后,总结出了一个sum up,前10项中国人的特征,一看就知道这是中国人!


    NO.10 Fight over who pays the dinner bill.   为谁来买单而打架。


        fight over   为……打架


    ‘ I'm gonna do it!’‘No! I 'm gonna do it!’   中国人会为了抢着买单而fight over,打到医院之后,又会继续为了抢着出医药费而买单。

    In America, people offer to pay the bill. But if you say ‘no, I wanna do it’ or ‘let me do it’ more than 2 times, people will just let you do it.   而在美国文化当中,如果一个人说“我来买单吧”说两遍,那么另一方就会毫不客气的let you do it哦。美国文化里可是不存在“客气”这件事情的。因为他们认为,总有一天你会treat back 请回来的


    NO.9 Drive around looking for the best parking space.   开着车到处寻找最好的停车位。


    drive around   开车四处转

    parking space   停车位


    Actually, right now, I spend a lot of time to drive around to look for a parking space, not the best one.   而现在对于翩翩老师来说,开车到处转可不是为了找最好的停车位,能找到停车位就已经很不容易啦。

    If in summer, you want to find a parking space maybe with a tree over it.   美国人同样也会去找最合适的停车位啊,尤其是在夏天,他们会更喜欢有树荫的停车位。所以这个中国人的特征并不是很typical很有“中国特色”啦。


    NO.8 Take showers at night.   晚上洗澡。


    take shower   淋浴

    take a bath   沐浴(in a bathtub在浴缸里的沐浴)

    It's showering.   下大雨了。

    In western countries,many people take showers in the morning.   中国人喜欢晚上洗澡,而在西方国家,很多人都是在早上洗澡的。


    NO.7 Never hug their parents.   从不拥抱父母。


    intimacy   亲昵的行为,亲密


    Chinese are too shy to show their love or intimacy to parents.   中国人对父母的亲昵和爱总是羞于去表达,因此从不,或者很少去拥抱父母。

    Most children hug their parents.   对欧美人来说,绝大多数的孩子都会拥抱他们的父母,physical touch 是一种表达爱的方式。

    中外“孝顺”的difference


    Xiaoshun: It's a special word for the way a kid treading their parents when the kid is growing up.   中国的“孝顺”是指:孩子在长大以后对待父母的一个特别的词语,不可以用到其他人身上,只能用于父母。


    Filial piety: It means loyalty to your parents.   英语当中的“孝顺”可以用filial piety来表达。But it's a technical word, not very common. 但这是一个术语,不是常用语。


    NO.6 Have a Chinese knick-knack hanging on the rear view mirror.   在车内的后视镜上挂小饰物。


    rear view mirror   后视镜

    What is a kninck-knack? It's a small and cheap decoration.   kninck-knack其实就是一个像中国结这一类的小饰物。外国人也会在车内的后视镜上挂一些小饰物,但不是中国结这种。


    NO.5 Leave the plastic covers on your remote control.   把遥控器上的塑料袋留在上面。


    remote control   遥控器

    中国人会为了keep it new 而把遥控器上的塑料袋留在上面不摘掉。也有一些家庭会把原本的plastic covers换成好看的保护袋。

    而在美国文化当中,大多数人可能会用cell phone cover, 但是可能不会Leave the plastic covers on your remote control。


    NO.4 Like to sing karaoke.   喜欢唱K。


    Most Americans don’t think about or do karaoke very much. Maybe at weddings.   美国人不太喜欢唱K, 即使是在婚礼上唱歌,也跟中国人在KTV里唱的不同。

    Lots of Asian people like to sing karaoke.   唱K 可以说是一种亚洲文化,不仅仅是中国人喜欢唱,其他亚洲国家的人也喜欢唱K哦。


    NO.3 Suck on the fish head.   吮吸鱼头。


    Definitely not where I come from.   西方人可是不吃鱼头的哟。

    In western countries, fish/ chicken/ pork serve as meat.   在西方国家,鸡鸭鱼肉极少会带着骨头上桌,永远都是以肉相见。 


    NO.2 Like to eat chicken feet.   喜欢吃凤爪。


    In China, it's a common thing to eat chicken feet. But most Americans wouldn't even consider it.   中国人吃凤爪很常见,但对于美国人来说,他们可是想都不敢想呢。所以这是不是够“中国特色”呢?


    NO.1 Drinking hot water.   喝热水。


    room temperature   常温的


    Most westerners don’t drink hot water. They prefer cold water or cool water, especially in the summer.   西方人喝水一定喝的是凉水,或者是room temperature water 常温水,他们更喜欢直接从水龙头接饮用水。

    Either room temperature water or ice water. Never hot water.


    How do you recognize a Chinese? Please comment to us!

  • 老外来了:孙红雷、张涵予…西方人眼中的“帅”男人!

    一席英语出品

    主播:Vip(澳大利亚) 翩翩(中国)

    歌曲:Better Than One


    What kind of guy is considered handsome from a western’s point of view?


    1. 提到“帅气”,我们首先想到的就是handsome,那么除了handsome之外,有没有其他的词汇来形容帅呢?Other words have the same meaning? 


    hot   

    adj. 形容词

    一般是指figure,形容一个人的身材有点xg.


    fit

    In the UK, ‘fit’ doesn’t mean physically fit. It’s just another word for handsome or attractive.   在英国,“fit”可不是说一个男生身体健康、身材健美哦,它是形容一个人非常的帅气,有吸引力呢。


    masculine

    That really means a man is a man’s man.  男生非常 manly,特别有阳刚之气的帅,就叫做masculine。


    good looking

    长得很好看就可以说这个男生是good looking


    cute

    cute也不是说男生长得可爱,而是说他长得很帅很英俊。

    √   女生形容男生cute   

    ×   男生形容男生cute    

    但是仅限于女生的表达,如果男生形容男生cute,则会被认为是offensive,你冒犯到对方啦!


    gorgeous

    可以说是handsome的最高级啦,形容一个人长得十分惊艳。

    But a man never calls another man ‘gorgeous’.   跟cute一样,也是仅限于女生去形容尤其好看的男生的。


    stud

    n.   名词

    Stud is a man who is very manly, but also very handsome and dresses well.   当你发现一个男人特别有男人味儿,长得又高又壮,衣品还非常好,那么就可以形容他为stud。


    Brad Pitt is a stud.   美国男演员布拉德·皮特就是一个富有男性魅力的人。


    2. standard   那么西方人眼中的帅气有什么样的判断标准呢?

    There’re 3 things:

    1.The first one is physically fit.   男生帅不帅,首先要看他是否身体健康、身材健美,不要太fat,也不要太muscly肌肉太发达。

    2.The second thing is good teeth, good smile.   其次,牙要好看。如果牙齿不好看,那怎么能用笑容打动别人呢?

    好的牙齿不仅要straight直,还要white白哟。


    3.The third thing is well groomed.   最后还要看这个男生是不是将自己修饰、打扮得很得体,而不是不修边幅。


    比如:

    a clean cut beard or moustache    干净整齐的小胡子

    clip his nails   修剪整齐的指甲

    nicely styled hair   有型的发型

    good hygiene   良好的卫生习惯


    [PS:]如果你想用style来形容一个人的话,应该怎样表达呢?

    He is very stylish.   他很时尚,很有风格。

    He is well- put together.   他很有品味。


    3. 中国人喜欢对人称呼“帅哥,美女”“handsome guy, beautiful woman” ,那么英语当中有没有similar expressions 呢?


    We don’t actually have anything like that.   其实没有哦,中国人为了表示polite而常常称对方为“帅哥、美女”,而西方人往往直接称对方为“Sir, Miss”.


    比自己年长一点的,或者同龄人,可以称呼Sir/ Miss

    比自己年纪小的,可以直接说excuse me...

    eg: Excuse me Sir/Miss, can I get some help?

    It’s very impolite to call someone by their job name.    

    They would definitely spit in your food, if you call a waiter/waitress by their job name.  


    4. “硬汉”和“都市美型男”怎么说?


    tough guy   硬汉

    张涵予、孙红雷这样的男明星就可以说是“tough guy”。

    metrosexual   都市美型男

    有一类男明星可称为“ metrosexual”,都市美型男。

    形容那些well dressed,而且现在已经逐渐成为一种风尚了。


    Review:


    handsome

    good looking

    hot

    fit(in UK)

    masculine

    gorgeous

    stud

    athletic

    主播:Alan(美国) 翩翩(中国)
    歌曲:Here With You - Asher Book


    Many people are becoming interested in working out! Do you do it? Do you like it?


    1. Your figure shows your class? 你的身材就代表了你的社会阶层吗?

    In American culture, you can rich or poor and still be overweight. 在美国,无论你贫富,都可能会胖哦。(其实哪个国家的人都一样啦)

    In general, people with more money tend to be healthier or slimmer, because they can afford healthy food. 但是通常来说,wealthy people物质条件比较好的人会有充足的钱来获得更好的食物。

    Is it nothing with working out? 所以物质条件比较好的人通常不会胖真的跟健身无关吗?
    × 当然不是!
    √ 健身是一种习惯或信念

    Maybe wealthy in their thirties turn to be a little more exercise. 可能30多岁的年轻人更具有这种健身的意识。

    Something that starts hard like exercise becomes easier overtime until it’s just a part of your day. 很多像健身这样的事情,一开始seems hard,但是它会get easier and easier, 会变得越来越简单。

    千万不要do nothing, and choose easy choice! Or your life will get hard!

    overweight 体重超重的
    fit 健康的

    2. Working out helps you to become a self-disciplined person 运动有助于你变成一个自律的人

    ①能够很好地管理自己的时间:manage their time well
    ②在一天之内能够完成大部分甚至所有的事情:accomplish everything or at least most things

    Alan 老师是个role model就在身边的幸运儿哦

    self-disciplined 自律的
    accomplish 完成

    在美国,备忘录叫Check List, 因为列出的list在每做完一项之后都要检查、画√呀。

    mental 大脑的,精神上的


    4. ways to working out 健身的方式

    Some people like to go to the gym, some people like to use Apps. 对于健身,有些人喜欢上体育馆、健身房,还有些人则是喜欢在家用通过一些软件来健身。

    歌曲:One day

    Foreigners learn Chinese
    Learning Chinese is not easy!

    1. Is Chinese hard? 外国人学汉语难吗?
    It’s easier if you are Korean or Japanese. But if you are westerner, you have that fear. 
    对于西方人来说,Chinese is really hard.

    Why is it hard for westerners to learn Chinese? 为什么西方人学汉语难?
    It doesn’t translate well. The grammar is very different from Romantic languages.
    欧美国家的语言一般都是Latin拉丁语系,因此,欧美人学Spanish、 French、 Italian都是比较简单的,一般听一听大约就能understand。
    但是汉语却是totally different!

    It is easily one of the hardest languages in the world. 
    汉语被公认为是世界上最难得语言之一。

    English is great easily to pick up.
    但英语却比较好上手, because of movies.
    Hollywood has made English accessible and spread the culture all over the world.
    Win觉得英语简单是因为好莱坞电影特别多,大家都在听、学。只要我们看好莱坞电影,我们就会have contact with English。

    They have bottleneck with their Chinese.

    dumb/ mute English 哑巴英语
    language bottleneck 语言瓶颈

    2. Where is Chinese difficult? 汉语究竟难在哪里呢?
    第一难:声调 the 5 tones 
    在英语中,tones emphasis on different words,在不同的单词上重读可能会引起意思的不同。
    在汉语中,tones are unlike anything in Western languages,在每一个character(字)上重读的意思都不一样。

    characters 汉字
    汉语的五种声调:
    First/ high-level tone 阴平(一声) 
    Second/ rising tone 阳平(二声)
    Third/ low/ low-falling-raising tone 上声(三声)
    Fourth/ falling tone 去声(四声)
    Neutral/ Fifth/ zeroth tone 轻声 
    Neutral tone is sometimes thought of incorrectly as a lack of tone.

    eg: I feel sick. 我感觉不舒服。
    That was sick! 太恶心了!

    对Win来说,low tone(三声)和falling tone(四声)They are so close! 太像了!

    Characters are exceptionally difficult to study and memorize. 汉字本身就格外的难学习和记住。

    第二难:文化背景 cultural context
    A meme: Fang bian (方便)
    ① Are you convenient tonight? 你今晚方便吗?
    Fang bian: Are you available to meet? 有时间吗?
    ②I need to go to the bathroom. 我需要去方便一下。
    Fang bian: use the bathroom 上厕所
    ③If he have enough money? 你方便付钱吗?
    Fang bian: Do you have enough money? 你的钱够吗?
    ④Then they eat ‘fang bian mian’. 他们回家后又吃了方便面。
    Fang bian: convenient food 速食品

    这么多的“方便”让外国人很confused,也很头疼。
