小明英語(yǔ)課堂 第15課: bust

教案：

Hi! Welcome to class for today. Our slang today isabout "busting. Alright. So what does "bust" mean

歡迎來(lái)到今天的課程。我們今天的俚語(yǔ)是關(guān)于bust的。它是什么意思呢?

So if you throw a balloon that's full of water and itexplodes everywhere, you just "busted" thatballoon

如果你扔一個(gè)充滿(mǎn)水的氣球,然后它爆炸了,你打碎了那個(gè)氣球

You can bust a tire if a nail goes into it…so yeah.Bust means "break" or "explode"

你可以把釘子釘進(jìn)去使一個(gè)輪胎爆炸。Bust的意思就是打破,爆炸的意思

However, if you have been "busted," it means you have been exposed

如果你被busted了,它的意思就是你被暴露了。

Your plan, which was probably very carefully planned and arranged, like a beautiful building, hasexploded

你的計(jì)劃,可能是通過(guò)很多計(jì)劃和安排的,就像一個(gè)漂亮的建筑爆炸了

and everyone can see what you were trying to do

所有人都知道了你想做什么

It's easy to get busted while robbing a bank, or trying to sneak out of the house to see a movie

在搶劫銀行或者從家里溜出去看電影都比較容易被暴露并且抓住

These are all plans, you would expect them to go some way, and all of a sudden someone seesit

就是關(guān)于你所期待的計(jì)劃在進(jìn)行,但是突然有人看到了

someone exposes it, and *pwwh*, it's ruined. It'll never work

有人揭發(fā)了你的計(jì)劃,這樣你的計(jì)劃就被破壞了

It's the most frustrating, I think, when you're trying to plan a surprise party for your friend

這是很讓人沮喪的。當(dāng)你試著去給你的朋友一個(gè)驚喜派對(duì)的時(shí)候

and suddenly you're busted when your friend hears you talking to someone about what kind ofcake to get

突然你在跟別人商量買(mǎi)什么蛋糕的時(shí)候被人聽(tīng)見(jiàn)了,被揭發(fā)了

After a plan is exposed like that, it is bust.

當(dāng)一個(gè)計(jì)劃被揭發(fā)了之后,它就沒(méi)用了

It is useless. Or even if the plan just didn't work like you hoped, you can still call it "bust"

如果一個(gè)計(jì)劃沒(méi)有實(shí)現(xiàn),你也可以叫它bust

For example, you can hear, "wow, that party was supposed to be a lot of fun, but it turned outto be a bust because no one came"

例如,你可能會(huì)聽(tīng)到 "那個(gè)派對(duì)本應(yīng)該是很有意思的,但是它失敗了,因?yàn)闆](méi)有人來(lái)參加"

Or, "well, my mom saw me climbing out the window, to watch that movie with you, so I guessthat plan is a bust

或者 "我媽媽看到了我從窗戶(hù)爬出去去和你看電影,所以我想這個(gè)計(jì)劃泡湯了

So remember, "busted": you have been exposed, someone has discovered your plan, andafterwards, the plan itself is a bust

記住,busted的意思是你被揭發(fā)了,有人發(fā)現(xiàn)了你的計(jì)劃,然后計(jì)劃就泡湯了

Sentence structure. Here is our example: "As in everything, there are difficulties in buying a car"

現(xiàn)在是句型。這是我們今天的例句"總之,買(mǎi)一輛車(chē)有很多難題

As in everything, there are A's in B. So you're saying that lots of things have "A's"

總之,在B里有很多A。所以你說(shuō)的是很多都有A

And the example that you're using right now is B. So here's another one

總之,在城市里居住有一些問(wèn)題

As in everything, there are problems with living in the city

現(xiàn)在所用的例句是關(guān)于B的。另外一個(gè)例子是

Lots of things have problems (A's) just like living in the city (B)

很多事都有問(wèn)題(A),就像居住在城市里(B)

And I know those two sentences are both bad things, but there are also good sentences

我知道這兩句話(huà)都是比較消極的,但是也有正面的句子

"As in everything, there are good sides to dropping out of college"

總之,退學(xué)也有它自己的優(yōu)勢(shì)

So you can use the sentence for negative, and for positives

你可以把句子用在正面和負(fù)面的話(huà)題上

But you're talking about a aspect of an example

但是你是在講一個(gè)例子的一個(gè)方面

A aspect applies to a whole range of things. Why don' you try making a sentence

一個(gè)方面包含一系列的事物。你也來(lái)試試吧

Our etymology for today is "imag-" or "image." I think I just gave away one of the words

我們今天的詞源是imag或者image。我想我剛剛已經(jīng)透露了一個(gè)單詞了。

But the root is spelled I-M-A-G. This is Latin for "representation," "likeness," "picture,"appearance"

詞根是imag。在拉丁語(yǔ)里的意思是表現(xiàn),圖畫(huà),外觀(guān)

So I-M-A-G is a picture of something. For example

所以imag是某物的一個(gè)圖片。

this video is a representation of me, but it's not actually me

例如這個(gè)視頻是我的一個(gè)表現(xiàn),但是它不是我。

So this kind of moves into our first word, "image"

所以這就說(shuō)到了我們第一個(gè)詞,image。

You know what it means. It's a picture, or just the visual of something

你知道它的意思吧,是一張圖,或者是一個(gè)物體的視覺(jué)呈現(xiàn)

Because it is representing something, but it's not the actual thing

它是某物的展現(xiàn),但不是某物本身

And you can have mental images, too, and this is called imagery

你也可以有心里的影像。這叫做imagery(意象)

We talk about imagery a lot in English class

我們?cè)谟⒄Z(yǔ)課上討論很多關(guān)于意象的問(wèn)題

When you read a book and someone starts talking about this beautiful dinner that they had

當(dāng)你讀一本書(shū)的時(shí)候某人開(kāi)始講關(guān)于他們吃過(guò)的一頓特別美好的晚餐

with juicy turkey lying on the table, surrounded by lots of baked potatoes and ..oh, I'm gettinghungry

餐桌上有多汁的火雞,周?chē)€有很多烤土豆。。。我餓了

Because I have imagery in my head, I can see the pictures that you're talking about

因?yàn)槲业哪X海里有意象,我可以看到你所說(shuō)的視覺(jué)呈現(xiàn)

And yes, these pictures are imaginary. They're just in my head. They're not real

當(dāng)然這些圖是意象的,它們只在我腦海里。他們不是真的

And all these imaginary pictures are part of your imagination

這些意象的圖都是你想象的一部分

the ability to form images and ideas in your head

想象力是可以在你的腦海里組成圖和想法的。

They represent something that could be real, but they're not

它們呈現(xiàn)的是一些可以為真實(shí)的事物,但是它們的出現(xiàn)是虛構(gòu)的

And if you have a lot of imagination, it means you are very imaginative

如果你有很多想象力,你是一個(gè)很富有想象力的人。

You can put lots of pictures in your head. You have that ability

你可以在腦海里存放很多圖片,你有這種能力

So that is our etymology for today

這就是我們今天的詞源。
