【句子】I will be driving 50 of our finest senior citizens to the polls, assuming, of course, that they remember that I'm coming for them. 【ModernFamilyS3E19】【发音】/aɪ/ /wɪl/ /biː/ /ˈdraɪ.vɪŋ/ /ˈfɪf.ti/ /əv/ /aʊə(r)/ /ˈfaɪ.nɪst/ /ˈsiː.ni.ə(r)/ /ˈsɪt.ɪ.zənz/ /tʊ/ /ðə/ /pəʊlz/ /əˈsjuːmɪŋ/ /əˈsuːmɪŋ/ /əv/ /kɔː(r)s/ /ðæt/ /ðeɪ/ /rɪˈmem.bə(r)/ /ðæt/ /aɪm/ /ˈkʌm.ɪŋ/ /fə(r)/ /ðəm/【发音技巧】of our连读；finest senior不完全爆破；that they不完全爆破；that I'm连读+闪音；【翻译】我负责接送50名十佳老人去投票站，当然，前提是如果他们还能记得这件事情的话。【适用场合】今天我们来学习一个英文中常见的委婉语表达，叫做senior citizen，字面理解是：“高级公民”，因为senior表示“高级的；高级别的；年长的”而citizen又有“公民”的意思；这样的说法，就比直接称呼老年人为the old；old people或者the elderly都更让人舒服。 下面我们来看几个例子：eg: Senior citizens get priority seating.老年人享有优先座位。 eg: This park offers free entry to senior citizens.这个公园对老年人免费开放。 eg: Senior citizens are eligible for a 20% discount on public transportation.老年人可享受公共交通票价8折的优惠。 那么在英文中，其实类似的委婉语Euphemism也挺多的，我们可以多看几个例子：比如说中文中我们比较忌讳直接说“死；死亡”；英文中也类似，通常我们可以用pass away；go to a better place；kick the bucket；meet one's end这样的短语来表达“死”；那“怀孕”的话，英文中我们可以委婉一点，说expecting；in the family way；have a bun in the oven；还有“失业”，也是在各个语言文化中比较敏感的词，在英文中你可以用between jobs；in transition；looking for new opportunities这样的表达来说明情况。 其实像以上这些委婉语的表达，我们在视频直播新概念第一册的课程中都有提到。暑期快到了，我们工作室瑶瑶老师亲自视频直播授课的课程也都陆续上线了，甚至包含最近大热门的原版教材课程，大家可以联系瑶瑶老师的微信teacheryao6 免费获取各个课程的试听，别错过我们的新课啦！ 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】My grandmother prefers "senior citizen" over "old lady"--it sounds more respectful.

I want to speak to the person who makes the decisions.这里谁负责？我想跟管事儿的聊几句。 eg: Mom said I was in charge of chopping the carrots.妈妈说胡萝卜归我切。 eg: My sister Fiona is coming to stay for the week, so she'll be in charge of the kids while I am away.我姐姐菲奥娜这周要来住，所以我不在家的时候，由她负责照看孩子们。 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】Who will be in charge of the department when Sophie leaves?

【句子】Kids, gather round! 【ModernFamilyS3E18】【发音】/kɪdz/ /ˈgæð.ə(r) / /raʊnd/ 【发音技巧】暂无；【翻译】孩子们，集合啦！【适用场合】今天的节目中，我们一起来学习一下gather round这个表达，在英文中此处的round也可以改成around；而且这样的短语，后面加宾语，可以，那我们得到gather around sb./sth.，此时可以理解成：to collect around sb./sth.“围在某个人/某个事物的旁边”；不加宾语，也是对的，可以理解成to come to some place and form a group“围过来；集合”； eg: All of the kids eagerly gathered around Santa Claus.所有的孩子都热切地围在圣诞老人身边。 eg: Come on, fellas, gather round the campfire!快来，伙计们，围到营火旁边来！ eg: Everyone, gather round—I only want to give these instructions once.大家都围过来，这些说明我只想讲一次。 eg: Santa Claus gathered all of the children around himself to hand out gifts.圣诞老人让孩子们都围在自己身边，以便分发礼物。 eg: Please gather everyone around the table for dessert.请把大家伙儿都叫过来围在桌边准备吃甜品了。 eg: The cowboys gathered round the campfire.牛仔们围坐在了营火旁。 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】等我端出生日蛋糕以后，你能把孩子们都聚过来吗？

Shut up!常用于祈使句的结构；这样的表达非常的形象，zip作名词是“拉链”，作动词是“拉上拉链”的意思；把嘴巴像拉上拉链一样，就是“闭嘴”了；下面我们来看一些相关的例子： eg: Zip it, class! The exam starts now!安静，同学们，现在开始考试。 eg: Zip it and eat your vegetables, or no dessert!别废话，把蔬菜吃了！不然没甜点吃了！ eg: A: "But Mom, I don't want to go!" B: "Zip it, Charlie!

Then I'm out of your hair forever. 【ModernFamilyS3E18】【发音】/ðɪs/ /gɜː(r)l/ /kʊd/ /bi:/ /ðə/ /wʌn/ /ðen/ /aɪm/ /aʊt/ /əv/ /jə(r)/ /heə(r)/ /fɔːˈrev.ə(r)/【发音技巧】could be失去爆破；Then I'm连读；out of连读+闪音；【翻译】这个女孩有可能就是我的真命天女，然后以后我再也不会烦你们了。【适用场合】今天我们来学习一个短语，叫做out of one's hair，那么在学习这个短语之前，我们先复习一个之前讲过的短语，叫做suck it up，可以理解成“忍一忍吧”；我们之前在讲解摩登家庭第二季第19集的时候，出现过这个短语，当时我们做过非常详细的讲解。大家可以点击一下超链接跳转复习一下：这个短语suck it up可以理解成：endure something painful, unpleasant或者accept something bad and deal with it well, controlling your emotions；所以就是碰到了一些不太开心，不愿意的事儿，“忍着、忍受”；常用于祈使句的句型结构； 比如说看看之前这俩例子：eg: I hated having to work two jobs, but with three small kids at home, I knew I just had to suck it up.我很讨厌同时打两份工，但是家里有三个小孩要养，我知道我也只能打碎牙往肚子里吞。 eg: I know the pain you're feeling is intense, but you have to suck it up until we get to the hospital!我知道你很疼，但是你得先忍忍，等我们去医院就好了。 今天我们重点来讲解一下out of one's hair，这个表达，这个短语之前在讲解绝望的主妇的时候，简单地提到过，当时是在第243期节目当中。大家可以点击一下超链接跳转复习一下。out of one's hair 字面的意思是“不在某个人的头发里”；一般引申意味可以理解成：“不再纠缠或者烦扰某个人；不再打扰某个人”；来看看对应的英文解释：No longer pestering or annoying to one 或者not one's responsibility or burden any longer；或者再看这条：If you get out of someone's hair, you stop getting in their way or interfering with what they are doing. eg: I've gotten the kids out of my hair for a few hours so I can go and get a relaxing massage by myself.我终于把孩子们打发走了几个小时，这样我能自己去享受一个放松的按摩。 eg: Once Jane is out of my hair, I'll be fine.只要简不要来烦我，我就没事儿了。 eg: Just do me a favor, will you? Keep her out of my hair from now on. 帮我个忙行吗？从今往后别让她再来烦我了。 这个短语的反义词是in one's hair，字面意思是“在某个人的头发里”其实可以引申理解成：“不断骚扰、打扰某个人”；persistently and annoyingly in one's presence eg: He's always in my hair.他总来烦我。/他总是阴魂不散。 eg: I can't work with you in my hair all day.你整天这样缠着我，我没法工作。 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】Would you like me to get out of your hair and leave you alone?

I swear, sometimes you can be as dumb as a doorknob, Larry.你以为你能自己修好洗衣机，就直接动手把它拆了？说真的，拉里，你有的时候真的是蠢得像一块木头。 eg: I used to think that she was as dumb as a doorknob when we were kids, but she grew up to be a physicist.小的时候我还以为她笨得要命，没想到她长大以后成了物理学家。 英文中我们还可以说：as dead as a doorknob，可以理解成中文的“死得透透的”，用来描述动物；或者说某个东西“不再存在的；消失的；失灵的；不再起到作用的”，相当于be defunct；日常生活中运用的时候，这样的两个短语当中的第一个as也会经常被省略，意思是没有变化的。 eg: A: "Is the squirrel dead? Poke it with a stick and check." B: "Yep, dead as a doorknob."A：“这松鼠死了吗？用棍子戳戳看。”B：“嗯，死得透透的了。” eg: Any animal unlucky enough to run out into this busy street will end up dead as a doorknob.任何不幸跑到这条繁忙马路上的动物，最后都会死得透透的。 eg: Oh, that idea from last week's meeting is as dead as a doorknob—the CEO just vetoed it.唉，上周会议上的那个想法已经凉透了，CEO刚刚否决了它。 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】Are you dumb as a doorknob?

Nice guys finish last.就算得靠撒谎忽悠客户来成交也没关系，反正好人没好报。 eg: Our culture rewards aggressive types. After all, we all know nice guys finish last.我们的文化就是推崇狼性，毕竟大家都知道，老实人总吃亏。 今天我们节目中要来学习的第二个表达，叫做：a dog-eat-dog world，字面意思是“一个狗吃狗、狗咬狗的世界”，其实你可以理解成“人吃人的世界，冷酷无情、弱肉强食的世界”；a society, situation, industry, etc. characterized by ruthless behavior and competition； eg: Your summer job at your uncle's company is pretty cushy, but don't expect every job to be that way—it's a dog-eat-dog world out there.你在你叔叔的公司当暑期工，当然很轻松了，但是别期待每份工作都是这样的，外面的职场可是弱肉强食，残酷得很。 eg: There are so few houses on the market right now that real estate is truly a dog-eat-dog world.现在市场上房源很稀缺，房地产行业完全变成了弱肉强食的世界。 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】It's a dog-eat-dog world for students today.

Are you in?这份工作需要加班，但是奖金不错，你要来吗？ eg: -- You're going to the mall later? -- Ooh, yeah, I'm in!——你一会儿要去商场吗？——对，我要去的。 在口语中be out可以理解成be in的反义表达。eg: Are you in or out?你到底是加入还是退出？ eg: No way!

That is not a problem. 或者Never mind.当有人对你提出一个要求，比如说："Can you help me please?" 你还是可以说：No worries.这个时候相当于“没问题”，I would be happy to. 下面我们来看几个例子： eg: A: "It looks like the file was deleted when the computer crashed."
