杰夫的一天 第99期：休息 郵件和垃圾講解(1)

Part nine is called "Relaxing, the Mail, and the Trash." 第九部分稱為“休息”、郵件和垃圾。

We begin with the sentence "With the dinner dishes done," 我們以“由于晚餐餐具洗好擦干了”這個句子開始，

the dinner dishes are the dishes we use to eat our dinner, and when I say they are done, I mean that they are washed and dried. 晚餐餐具是我們用來吃晚餐的餐具，當(dāng)我說“they are done”，我是指它們洗好并擦干了。

So, "With the dinner dishes" washed and dried, "my wife and I sit down on the couch to chill out." 因此，“由于晚餐餐具”洗好擦干了，“我和我妻子坐在沙發(fā)上歇息。”

To chill, "chill," out, "out," (two words) means to relax. “To chill out”(兩個字)是“休息”的意思。

Sometimes we use this expression as a command. 我們有時會把這個短語當(dāng)做命令使用。

If someone is very excited, you may say, "Hey, chill out," means relax, don't be so excited. 如果有人非常興奮，你可能會說，“Hey, chill out”，意思就是放松點，別那么興奮。

You will also hear just the word chill. 你也可能只會聽到“chill”這個詞。

"Hey, chill," that's informal for relax, don't be so excited. “Hey, chill,”，這是“放松點，別那么興奮”的非正式表達(dá)。

You will also hear people say, "I'm just chilling." 你還會聽到有人說，“I'm just chilling。”

I am just chilling means I'm just relaxing. Again, that's very informal. “I'm just chilling”的意思是“我正在休息”。這也是非正式表達(dá)。

Well, my wife and I are chilling, and we're watching the national news. 那個，我和我妻子正在歇息，我們正在看國內(nèi)新聞。

The national news is the news broadcast on television, and in Los Angeles, this is at 6:30 in the evening — it comes on at 6:30. 國內(nèi)新聞是電視上的新聞廣播，在洛杉磯，國內(nèi)新聞在晚上6:30開播。
