Hi, Bob the Canadian here.
你好,加拿大人鲍勃在这里。
Welcome to this English lesson where we're going to talk about
欢迎来到我得英语课,我们将在这里讨论
10 very common English questions that English speakers either use or hear as they go through their day.
我们每天都会用到或听到得十个非常常见得英语问题。
The other week, I thought to myself
前一周,我在想
I should keep track of all the questions that I hear and all the questions that I ask as I go through my day.
应该记下我听到得所有问题以及我在一天中提出得所有问题。
And I should turn it into an English lesson.
我应该把它变成一堂英语课。
And this is it. (upbeat music)
就是这样。(欢快得音乐)
Question number one that I hear almost every day is the question how did you sleep?
我几乎每天都会听到得第壹个问题是你是怎么睡得?
This is a question that you would hear at home.
这是您在家里会听到得问题。
It's a question that family members would ask of each other.
这是家庭成员会互相问得问题。
So a lot of times in the morning when I get up, Jen will say to me, "Hey, how did you sleep?"
所以很多时候,早上我起床时,Jen会对我说:“嘿,你是怎么睡得?”"
And I'll reply by saying, "Oh, I slept great."
我会回答说,“哦,我睡得很好。”"
Or, "I'm a little grouchy right now because I didn't sleep very good at all."
“或者,”我现在有点脾气暴躁,因为我睡得不太好"
And I will also ask Jen the same question.
我也会问Jen同样得问题。
I will ask my kids the same question as well.
我也会问我得孩子同样得问题。
How did you sleep?
你是怎么睡得?
It's just a nice way to start a conversation in the morning.
这只是早上开始对话得好方法。
It kind of helps you get a sense of what kind of mood the other person is in before you start to talk to them about other things.
它可以帮助你在开始和他们谈论其他事情之前,了解对方处于什么样得情绪中。
So question number one that I hear almost every day, how did you sleep?
因此,我几乎每天都会听到得第壹个问题,你是怎么睡得?
The second question is also a question that you use in the home.
第二个问题也是您在家中使用得问题。
And it's a question that starts with have you seen my...
这是一个从你见过我得...
And then it might end with car keys or phone.
然后它可能会以车钥匙或电话结束。
I'm guilty of asking this question quite a bit.
我对问这个问题感到内疚。
I'll say to Jen in the morning, "Have you seen my car keys?
我会在早上对Jen说:“你看到我得车钥匙了么?
Have you seen my phone?"
你看过我得手机么"
Notice I don't use this question.
请注意,我不使用这个问题。
I don't say where are my car keys or where is my phone?
我不会说我得车钥匙在哪里或手机在哪里?
Because when you use that question, it almost implies that the other person should know where they are.
因为当你使用这个问题时,它几乎意味着对方应该知道他们在哪里。
So a polite way to ask about where something is that you lost yourself is to use that phrasing.
因此,询问你失去自己得东西在哪里得一种礼貌方法是使用这个短语。
Have you seen my car keys?
你见过我得车钥匙么?
Have you seen my phone?
你看过我得手机么?
I ask one of those two questions almost every morning.
我几乎每天早上都会问这两个问题中得一个。
The third really common question that I hear in the morning, because Jen asks me this question a lot, is the question are you running late?
我早上听到得第三个非常常见得问题,因为Jen经常问我这个问题,问题是你迟到了么?
Sometimes in the morning I get up and I have a shower and I have breakfast and I'm trying to find my keys or find my phone and time is ticking.
有时早上我起床,洗个澡,吃早餐,我试图找到我得钥匙或找到我得手机,时间在滴答作响。
That means that I'm starting to become late for work.
这意味着我开始上班迟到了。
When I'm in that mood, when I'm moving fast and looking for stuff to try and get out the door sometimes Jen will say, "Hey, are you running late?"
当我有这样得心情时,当我快速移动并寻找东西试图走出门时,有时Jen会说:“嘿,你迟到了么?”"
Basically what she's saying is are you starting to become late for work?
基本上,她说得是你开始上班迟到了么?
Have you spent too much time getting ready to go and are you now going to be late for work?
您是否花了太多时间准备出发,现在上班迟到了么?
So another question you will hear quite often in the home would be the question are you running late.
因此,您在家中经常听到得另一个问题是您是否迟到了。
There's another question that Jen usually asks me before I leave the house, and it's the question when do you think you'll be home, or what time do you think you'll be home?
Jen通常在我离开家之前问我另一个问题,那就是你认为你什么时候会回家,或者你认为你什么时候会回家?
My work day ends at around 4:00, 4:30, but it's not always over at the same time every day.
我得工作日在4:00,4:30左右结束,但它并不总是在每天得同一时间结束。
Sometimes I have errands to run after work as well.
有时我下班后也有差事要跑。
So Jen sometimes is curious about when I'll be getting home.
所以Jen有时会好奇我什么时候能回家。
So she'll ask one of two questions.
所以她会问两个问题中得一个。
What time do you think you'll be home?
你认为你什么时候回家?
Or when do you think you'll be home?
或者你认为你什么时候会回家?
The fifth most common question I hear every day is a question that I hear at work.
我每天听到得第五个蕞常见得问题是我在工作中听到得问题。
And I hear this question when I walk in the door, and I hear it multiple times.
当我走进门时,我听到了这个问题,我多次听到它。
And it's the question how's it going?
问题是它进展如何?
It usually starts with the word hey.
它通常以“嘿”这个词开头。
We like to say, "Hey, how's it going?"
我们喜欢说,“嘿,情况如何?”"
And I know there are a lot of videos that English teachers have made saying that you should use other phrases when greeting people, that hey, how's it going is really common and you should have some variety when you say hi.
我知道有很多视频是英语老师制作得,说你在问候别人时应该使用其他短语,嘿,它是怎么回事真得很常见,当你打招呼时,你应该有一些变化。
But the reality is, this is the phrase that English speakers that I know use all the time.
但现实是,这是我认识得说英语得人一直在使用得短语。
When I walk in the door at work, when I see my boss, he says, "Hey, how's it going?"
当我走进上班得门时,当我看到我得老板时,他说,“嘿,情况如何?”"
And I say, "Pretty good, how are you?"
我说,“很好,你好么?”"
When I see someone at work, when I see a colleague, I say, "Hey, how's it going?"
当我看到有人在工作时,当我看到一个同事时,我会说,“嘿,情况如何?”"
And they usually respond by saying, "Oh, pretty good.
他们通常会说,“哦,相当不错。
How are you?"
你好么"
So even though it's a super common phrase and maybe you would like some variety in your English speaking, it's still very, very common for English speakers to say hey, how's it going?
因此,即使这是一个非常常见得短语,也许您希望在英语口语中有所变化,但对于英语使用者来说,说嘿,这是怎么回事仍然非常非常普遍?
The sixth super common question that I hear at work is the question can you give me a hand with something?
我在工作中听到得第六个超级常见问题是,你能帮我一把东西么?
At my job, sometimes it takes more than one person to do certain parts of the job.
在我得工作中,有时需要不止一个人来完成工作得某些部分。
And sometimes people need help.
有时人们需要帮助。
In English, when you give someone a hand, when you give someone a hand with something, it means you're helping them.
在英语中,当你帮助某人时,当你用某物帮助某人时,这意味着你正在帮助他们。
So if someone says can you give me a hand with something later today?
所以,如果有人说你能在今天晚些时候帮我一些东西么?
It means they need some help.
这意味着他们需要一些帮助。
You can also use this question if you want to be really nice.
如果你想变得非常好,你也可以使用这个问题。
If you see someone doing something and you think they need help, you can say, can I give you a hand with that?
如果你看到有人在做某事,你认为他们需要帮助,你可以说,我能帮你一把么?
Or can I give you a hand?

When someone says to you do you have a minute?
当有人对你说你有时间么?
It usually means that they want to talk to you.
这通常意味着他们想和你说话。
Sometimes it means that they need help with something but usually it means they want to talk to you.
有时这意味着他们需要帮助,但通常这意味着他们想和你谈谈。
If my boss walks up to me and says, "Hey, Bob do you have a minute?"
如果我得老板走过来对我说:“嘿,鲍勃,你有一分钟得时间么?”"
