Good morning, everyone. I'm Yao. Welcome to this episode of English Language, "Made in America". In this episode, we will learn a English line together. It is still from the third season of Modern Family, episode 18. First, let's listen to today's key sentence.

Hey mom, guess what? Griffin invited us all over to his house for a pool party and barbecue tonight. Hey mom, guess what? Griffin invited us all over to his house for a pool party and barbecue tonight. Hey mom, guess what? Griffin invited us all over to his house for a pool party and barbecue tonight. Hey mom, guess what?

Griffin invited us all over to his house for a pool party and barbecue tonight. 那么在这一段英文台当中呢,我们需要注意哪些翻译技巧呢? 第一处,当 invited us, 放在一起的话呢,我们会有一个连读的处理。 那么你可以读成,invited us, invited us. 再来看一下第二处翻译技巧。

当 all over 放在一起的话呢会有一个自然的连读 那么你可以读成 all over all over for a 我们放在一起呢也会有一个自然的连读 那么你可以读成 for a for a and barbecue 这样的两个单词呢放在一起会有一个失去爆破的处理 那么你可以读成 and barbecue and barbecue

Ah, thank you. Hey, Mom, guess what? Griffin invited us all over to his house for a pool party and barbecue tonight. Pool party, huh? Yeah, and he said bring your swimsuits. He was pretty adamant about it. It's 50 degrees outside. Sounds fun. Great, I'll call him.

You know what, kid?

We think that Griffin might be hanging out with you because he's got a little crush on your mother and me. And you? Wow. I can't believe it. Listen, it's fine. You're going to be fine. I'm sorry. Are you kidding? It's fantastic. How is it fantastic? I'm only hanging out with him because I have the hots for his sister, Chloe. You've met Griffin. The kid's a doorknob.

So you're just using him? Yeah, and I felt really guilty about it until now. Now it's a win-win. Not for me. Just suck it up, mom. I've done a lot for you over the years. Jay, you too. This girl could be the one that I'm mad at your hair forever. Pool party, mom. Dress accordingly. 那么今天节目当中呢,我们来学习一个口语当中很常见的表达,叫做 Guess what? 那么这样一个表达是一个什么样的含义和用法呢? 我们来看一下这样一段话。

It is used to introduce something surprising or exciting that you want to tell somebody. 这个短语呢,用于引出你想告诉别人的令人兴奋或者惊喜的消息。 下面呢,我们来看一下这样的几个例子。 第一个,guess what, your mother is coming to visit this weekend after all. 猜猜怎么着,你妈妈这个周末还是要过来呢。 Guess what, your mother is coming to visit this weekend after all.

A 问,猜猜怎么着? B 回复说,呃,你刚和 CEO 开完会回来,所以我都不敢问是怎么了。 Guess what? Well, you just got back from the meeting with the CEO. So I'm afraid to ask. 下面呢,我们来看一下倒数第三个例子。 Alice 说, Guess what? Bob 回复说, I don't know what. Alice 说, I'm going to Europe this summer. Bob 回复说, That's very nice.

Alice 猜猜怎么着? Bob 回复说,不知道,怎么了? Alice 说,今年夏天我要去欧洲了。 Bob 回复说,太棒了呀。 Guess what? I don't know. What? I'm going to Europe this summer. That's very nice. 再比如说呢,看倒数第二个例子。 It's a conversation between John and Jane. John 首先说,Guess what? Jane 回复问,What? John 说,Mary is going to have a baby.
