Hello 大家好,我是 Jenny,你正在收听由 Jason 和 Jenny 为你主持的《潘吉·Jenny 告诉你》Hi everyone, I'm Jason, and welcome to today's podcast 我们今天的节目呢,要聚焦,要 focus on 一个中文字这个字,它虽然很简单,但是它非常的高

非常的搞 You can use this word in so many ways in Chinese and in English, right?对,那 Jason,这个字是什么呢?搞这个字就是搞搞没错因为搞确实它能和很多其他的词来搭配比如说什么搞笑啦,搞怪啦搞事业

你中文现在好与时势竞我在搞中文你在搞中文对搞事业还有另外一个搞钱听过吗都是现在很流行的说法对对对你现在好好搞中文是吧对所以对对对

对,你必须用各种不同的词词来翻译这个词

So today we're gonna help you 就是要教教大家刚刚我们所有举的这些例子也是日常生活中我们说的最多的这些稿英语应该如何表达这么多的稿别担心今天的节目帮你搞定 That's right, we'll help you nail it

所以搞定可以说 to nail something, right?Nail it.That's right, yeah.To nail it just means to do a super good job.Okay, we like it.那虽然搞啊,刚刚我们举了很多不同的这个搭配,它要用不同的表达。But Jason, I think we can maybe start generally?你觉得 generally speaking, 搞这个字英语是什么意思呢?The

这些都是搞

我们首先要看的这个稿是很常见的一个句子一个问句就是你在搞什么你们在搞什么

And I use this a lotI say this a lot to my kids 因为他们经常在搞一些让我比较怀疑的事情 Yeah but because it has like you said that feeling ofHey maybe they're doing something suspiciousRight they're doing something they shouldn't be doing 对对对我有点怀疑有点 suspicious 所以在英语里面这种你要怎么表达这个你在搞什么有点 suspicious 的这个语气呢 What are you doing

但你也可以说,你对什么感觉?这个"对"的感觉是一样的,对吗?你对这个事情做什么?你做的事情不像是对的,我认为。有点不太好。是的,正确。他们可能在看太多电视,或者在看错了电视频道,或者他们只是不做自己的工作。

对,因为我觉得你刚刚这个 what are you up to 语气很重要啊你要真的 convey 这个在搞什么 you can't just say what are you up toyeah, if you just said what are you up toit's just a very casual questionwhat are you doing right nowand it doesn't imply any kind of suspicion at allbut if you say what are you up toit definitely does

所以就是 stress 那个 you 是吧好明白了或者我觉得搞还有一个就是

澳洲人会说 mucking around 或者美国人会说 messing around 那个 Yeah it sounds like I imagine you know someone just kind of pushing all the stuff around them in all different directions and making the room very messy right so if you're messing around you're just you're not being organized you're not doing it the right way so what are you messing with over thereYeah again it has this you know something is a little off something is a little off

对对对所以你可以问他们对特别后面加这个 over there 我觉得就更加有一种怀疑的语气

对好那看完了你在搞什么我们接下来看看前面说到的现在很流行的两个说法一个是搞事业一个是搞钱那你知道他的意思吗

希望搞事业不会对你的 health 有很大影响啊。

之前大学毕业在玩啊在谈恋爱啊什么但现在我要好好的搞事业 So it really implies thisI need to focus on my career nowYeah, your priorities have changedNow your career is your priority, right?It's what you're focused on 对对对对 Priority 就是最重要的事情对吧你人生的排序里面优先级里面如果现在是搞事业 Then that is your top priority

Yeah, top priority.So, to focus on one's career,我们可以这样说。这个时候 to focus on something 就是一个动词,是吧?Yeah, it's a verb, right?You are kind of like looking at it with all of your attention.That's what I think of when I think of focusing on something, right?没错,但是呢,我们也能把 focus 变成一个形容词。Yeah, you can also use it as an adjective and say you're very focused.

So to be focused on your career.Yeah, exactly.So for example, she's only ever focused on her career.

就是他一直在专心搞事业是吧除了 focus 我们还能用的一个动词这个大家肯定很熟悉这就是这个蛮有意思的因为 career 就是我们的 work 嘛因为你这样讲很奇怪嘛所以我们会说这个时候会用 career 这个词

Exactly, you could say something likeI've been working hard on my career for the past few yearsOK, 所以不只是 work onwork hard on 就是很努力很专心地搞事业好, 那当然专心搞事业呢我们是要花很多的功夫很多的努力进去的 Yeah, you really have to put effort into it, right?You can't just look at it and focus on itYou also have to put effort into it

对对对因为 focus 有的时候就是你的一个意愿你的一个 intention 但是除了有意愿你还要有实际的行动还要有 real actionyou have to put real effortinto your careerso 专心搞事业也可以用这个说法好那其实刚刚看那么多专心搞事业的态度 it's all about

对对对其实我们可以对很多不同的东西投入啊但当你搞事业的时候呢你投入的是你的事业所以我们可以说是一个人的事业

或者还有一个敬意词就是

对就有点像我们说 New Year's Resolution 我今年 2024 年专心搞事业 In the year 2024I'm dedicating myself to my career 是吧就像一个宣告像一个 announcementYeah it's almost like there's an official ceremony for it right 对啊

因为搞事业就是你要很 serious 嘛对不对 and hopefully 你专心搞事业以后呢也有很好的经济回报 financial reward 可以搞点钱 that's rightyou can get some money

OK, so 搞钱,但是我觉得最口语的说法就是刚刚 Jason 那个,to get money, to get some money,但是除了 get 以外呢,我是不是也能沿用前面的这个 to focus on doing something?Yeah, you could absolutely also say to focus on making money, but if you said that it's a little different than focusing on your career alone, right?You might have other ways of making money outside of your job.

因为搞钱这里的重点是那个钱就是不一定是光来自于你的事业现在不是有很多人他除了有主业他还有很多副业因为就得搞钱啊要养家糊口要养车养房这种

对,所以副业呢,英语的说法就是一个 side hustle,h-u-s-t-l-e,有的时候还不只是一个副业,a few side hustles,还有好几个哈。

对很辛苦啊对 很多人需要多个偷渡对 这些人我们就可以叫他们是 hustlers 对吗他们是 hustlers 对 正确他们总是在 hustling

对对对,专心搞钱,因为这个生活成本非常高嘛。好,那英语里面其实会用一些很有意思的比喻,就是来形容搞钱。

所以这里的 make bread 不是说你在做面包而是说你在搞钱因为英语经常用 bread 来形容钱啊比如说家里就是谁主要是养家的就是 the main bread earner 嘛

对对对,breadwinner,sorry,对他们那除了面包以外呢还用纸,是吧,来比喻所以这里的 paper 不是 A4 的纸是什么呢?抄票是吧,百元大抄现金

而且这里现金而且还是 stacking 就是一叠一叠的 if you're stacking paper 那我觉得这个搞钱很成功了 very successfulthat's rightyeah you're filling your housewith stacks of paperif they're money paperthen you're doing wellyeah you're not just making moneyyou're making some real moneyyeah

对,所以英语里面这个口语的如果说,不是说什么真钞还是假钞,而是说真的赚很多的钱,对吧?也可以说 making some serious money。对,你做的钱不算是真实的,对吗?但是你做的钱是真实的,因为它是这么大的。对,你做的钱是真实的。

对,所以这些都是搞钱英语的说法。好,那你看,专心搞事业,搞钱,我就觉得很累,所以呢,我们需要笑一笑,我们现在来搞笑,好吧?对,对,我们需要搞笑,对吧?搞笑的东西。

对搞笑在中文里面它有不同的词性嘛有一个词性是形容词比如一个人很搞笑或者这个电影很搞笑 We just meanIt's funnyIt's hilariousOr 有的时候搞笑是那种就无厘头广东话说周星驰的电影那种搞笑 That's right

They're very silly, right?Very goofy, funny and like a fun, cute kind of way, right?Right, right. 无厘头就是那种比较 goofy,比较 silly 的。但是除了形容词呢,搞笑它还可以是动词啊,还可以是一个 verb。Yeah, you can also make funny things or do funny things.Yeah, 所以当它是动词的时候,搞笑其实就像 Jason 刚刚说的,it's about your behavior, the way you behave, the way you act, right?

很会搞笑对他又在搞笑了但我觉得这里有个很重要的就是 You are making funny stuffYou are doing funny thingsBut it's not the same as making fun of 什么 Yeah if you were to say you're making fun of someone for examplethat means you're being mean you're being cruel you're mocking them and that's totally different

对因为 to make fun of 就是嘲笑的意思不是搞笑其实我想到搞笑我也想到比如美国有一个节目叫 Saturday Night Live

每个礼拜六对吧里面有很多短剧那个对而且它经常会 make fun of 现在发生的一些 current events 还有公众人物所以这种搞笑英语就是你刚刚说的那个什么词啊 spoofspoof 它是一个名词吗 s-p-o-o-f

还有一个说法叫 parody 是吧嗯

OK 好那搞笑看完了以后呢接着我们看看搞怪搞怪英语要怎么说呢 JasonYeah here we're not making something funnywe're making something weirdwe're making something strangeor odd

对对对因为怪嘛对吧 strangeweird 或者搞怪很多时候是 something crazyor wildyeah it's totallyunexpectedrightit's somethingyou wouldn't expect to see 没错比如说 Lady Gaga 刚出道的时候她那个打扮 right 起装衣服她很会搞怪然后那个怪就是你说的很 unexpected 人家都想不到可以这样打扮对

对,所以 that's essentiallywhat 搞怪 means 好,那我们今天看那么多的稿节目最后教大家两个形容词一个是难搞一个是好搞

我觉得这个是最直接最直白的翻译那除了 do 我觉得难搞好像英语是不是也说 something is difficult to handle 是吧

难搞的事情通常这种 situations 就是很 tricky or sticky situations, right?

英语还说粘 sticky 对对对就是难搞的事情就是这样呀它不一定是那种 difficult 就是需要你什么很高的 IQ 但是它是麻烦

就这种那除了形容事情难搞我们还可以用它来形容一个人其实英语里面形容人好像都不用说 someone is difficult to handle 可以说 someone is very difficult 是吧

对,we could say someone is very difficult or they're very hard to deal with,they're very hard to interact with。哦,对,to deal with 很好,因为就是有这个互动嘛,难搞的人就是跟他接触互动很难,so they're difficult to deal with or they're hard to deal with。但是希望我们不要难搞啦,希望我们都是比较好搞的,好吧?Yes, the opposite,right?Somebody who's very easy to deal with.

对对其实我觉得他用来形容事情更多一点那形容事情的时候当然你就可以把刚刚什么 hard difficult 换成 easy 就可以了比如说

对,就像吃一块蛋糕那么容易啊或者还可以用什么公园来形容,是吧?对,很好搞啊

总之啦,不管是 piece of cake or walk in the park,they are easy peasy。Yeah, they are easy peasy。I like to say this one with my kids a lot,because it rhymes and it's fun to say, right?对对对,跟小朋友就很喜欢用这种押韵的啊,easy peasy。

好的,那我们今天的节目就快要结束了,希望今天的节目帮大家搞清楚,搞明白了这个稿子,不同的情景,不同的场合底下要怎么用。Very quickly before we go, Jason,我刚说的这个搞清楚,搞明白英语怎么讲呢?Something that's easy to get a handle on, easy to get a grip on, right?

to get a handle on something 或者 to get a grip on something 这两个词都是说你能抓住一个东西所以它就比喻这个东西你抓牢了那你就是搞清楚搞明白了它 Yeah, exactlyWe hope after today's showyou finally got a handle on today's word 搞好,那我们的时间也到了非常感谢大家的收听 We look forward to seeing you next time
