Hello. This is The English We Speak with me, Feifei...
你好,這裡是《道地英語》。我是 Feifei...
...and me, Roy.
...還有我,Roy。
Roy, what are you holding?!
Roy,你拿的是什麼?
This? It's a sword.
這個?這是一把劍。
I can see it's a sword!
我看得出來是一把劍!
Why do you have one?
你為什麼有一把劍?
Well, I overheard you saying your friend Sandra is living in a bubble. So I asked my pal at the museum if I could borrow a sword to help your friend escape!
我聽到你說你的朋友 Sandra 生活在泡泡中,於是我問我的朋友我可以在博物館借一把劍嗎?幫助你的朋友逃走!
No, Roy. I said 'Sandra lives in a bubble', but it means that she doesn't really accept new ideas and all her friends have the same way of thinking.
No, Roy, 我剛才說 「Sandra lives in a bubble.」 的意思是她不願意接受新觀念、新事物,而且她的朋友們也大多都有同樣的思維方式。
'Living in a bubble' is the expression we're looking at in this programme.
「Living in a bubble」 就是這期節目中我們要教給大家的表達方式。
Ahhh, that makes more sense.

Roy, your imagination never ceases to amaze me.
Roy,你的想像總是讓我驚嘆不已。
You know what we should do?
你知道我們應該做什麼嗎?
I think we should listen to some examples...
我覺得我們應該聽一些例子...

This is The English We Speak from BBC Learning English,
這裡是 BBC英語教學的 《道地英語》節目。
and we're talking about the expression 'living in a bubble' which is used to describe someone who doesn't listen to people with different ideas, or maybe is a little sheltered from society.
我們正在教給大家 「living in a bubble」 這個表達的意思和用法。我們用 「living in a bubble」 形象地來形容某人生活在一個泡泡當中,不願意聽取與自己不同的意見,不願意接受新鮮事物;也就是說,一個人與外界沒有聯繫,與世隔絕。
I think it's sad when people live in a bubble because they don't get to experience new ideas or have their minds changed.
我認為當人們生活在自己的世界時是可悲的,因為他們無法體驗新想法或改變想法。
I don't live in a bubble. It's why I like working with you - because you have very different ideas to me and I like to listen to them.
我沒有生活在自己的世界裡。這就是為什麼我喜歡和你一起工作——因為你和我有非常不同的想法,而我喜歡聽他們的想法。
You're always wrong, but I still like you.
你總是錯的,但我還是喜歡你。
Thanks Feifei. I guess I should take this sword back to the museum.
謝謝 Feifei,我想我應該把這把劍還給博物館。
You should. Bye, Roy.
你確實該。再見,Roy。
Bye.
掰掰。
