In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase, "a touch of class".

今天這支影片，我們要學的是片語「a touch of class」

形容詞比較級

When you do something with a touch of class, it means you do something in a way that makes it cooler than normal.

如果說你做某事「有格調」，這意味著你用比平常更酷的方式做某事。

祈使句型

Let's think about... maybe you're making a dinner for someone special in your life.

比如說…你正在為特別的人做一頓晚餐。

And you think to yourself, "If I put some candles on the table for this romantic dinner, it will add a touch of class."

然後你對自己想，「這是個浪漫的晚餐約會，在桌上放幾支蠟燭的話可以增添格調。」

So when you add a touch of class to something, it means you add something that makes it a little more special than it normally would be.

為某樣東西增添格調指的是我們加了些東西，使該事物比平常更加特別。

I thought when I bought these sunglasses that, even though they were only a dollar, they add a touch of class to how I look in my videos.

儘管這副太陽眼鏡只要一美元，但在買時，我是想著它會讓我在影片中看起來更加有格調。

And it's nice to have them on a sunny day, but they also add a touch of class.

陽光明媚的日子裡能有它實在太好了，同時也能為我增添格調。

The second phrase I wanted to teach you today is the phrase "world class".

今天要教大家的第二個詞是「world class」

When something is world class, it means it's super, super good.

說某物是「世界級」的，代表該物品超級超級好。

Or if someone is world class, it means they're super, super good.

或如果某人是世界級的，那就意味著他們非常非常優秀。

Think about your favorite athlete; they are probably a world class athlete.

想想你最喜歡的運動員，他們可能是世界級運動員。

There are hockey players in Canada that could play on any hockey team in the world because they are world class athletes; they're some of the best in the world.

加拿大的曲棍球運動員可以贏過世界上任何一支曲棍球隊，因為他們是世界級運動員； 他們是世界上最好的。

There's some restaurants in Toronto that are world class restaurants.

多倫多有些餐廳是世界級餐廳。

They serve food that's just really, really good, and people really, really like it, and it's some of the best food in the world.

他們提供頂級食物，廣受人們喜愛，是世上最優質的美食之一。

When you do something with a touch of class, you do it in a way where it's just a little extra special.

當你做某事「有格調」，意思是用比平常更特別的方式去做。

Or when you add something to something, you can add a touch of class by adding things like nice candles for a romantic dinner.

或者，當你添加上某些東西時，譬如為浪漫晚餐準備精美蠟燭等等來增添格調。

And if something is world class or if someone is world class, they are, like, the best in their field.

如果某物是「世界級」的或某人「世界一流」的，那麼他們就是該領域的佼佼者。

But, hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video.

好了，讓我們來看看之前影片中的評論吧。

This comment is in my pocket somewhere, and it is from Sherly.

讓我從口袋拿出這則評論，來自 Sherly 的留言。

And Sherly says, "I always love the last part of the video, where teacher Bob takes us on a tour of his well-organized farm."

Sherly 說：「我一直很喜歡影片最後， Bob 老師帶我們參觀他井井有條的農場那個部分。」

And my response was, "You'll be surprised, then, in the next video, as I'll be walking around my town."

我的回答是：「那下一支影片會讓你感到驚訝的，我會去鎮上走走。」

Let's walk around my town; I thought that I should do some of these videos on location.

帶大家逛逛我住的小鎮；我想說我應該拍些外景影片。

In English, when you do something on location, it means you do it, like, out in the town or out somewhere.

在英語中，出「外景」，意思是你不在室內，而是出去在城市裡或戶外做某事。

Normally, I do my videos on location on my farm, but I thought it would be fun to come downtown and shoot the video here.

通常，我會在自己農場拍攝，但我想來市中心拍攝應該也會很有趣。

I should walk this way, actually, sorry for spinning you around like that; I hope you didn't get too dizzy.

應該是走這邊，抱歉讓大家這樣轉來轉去，希望你們沒有頭暈。

Let's walk a little bit down the sidewalk here.

This is a small town, so I'm not too worried about someone taking my tripod⏤although that could happen, but I doubt that it will.

這是個很小的鎮，所以不必太擔心有人會拿我的三腳架，雖然還是有可能，但機率不大。

Um, I like the little town that I live close to.

I'll be honest, I haven't gotten out here much because of the pandemic, but it's a nice quaint little town.

老實說，因為疫情我很少來這，但這是個古色古香的小鎮，很不錯。

In fact, we only have about two fast food restaurants, um, and a few pharmacies.

事實上，這邊只有大概兩家速食店，還有幾家藥局。

The city⏤or the town⏤isn't big enough for that.

But it has all of the things that you would need, uh, if you wanted to get things.

There's a grocery store, um, like I said, there's a few fast food restaurants⏤I should check my time here.

鎮裡有一家雜貨店，幾家快餐店… 等等，我得看一下時間。

Oh, I can talk for 45 more seconds, that's good.

There's a place right over there where you can go if you need to renew your license.

如果需要更新駕照，那裡有個地方可以辦。

If you need to go to the doctor⏤even though there's not a hospital, there is a medical center.

即使這邊沒有醫院，如果需要看醫生，也可以去醫療中心。

A medical center is a place where you can go and see a doctor.

醫療中心就是可以去看醫生的地方。

And if it's really serious, they'll send you to a hospital.

如果病情嚴重，他們也會送你去醫院。

But it's a nice little town⏤I'll turn around once again so you can see the intersection behind me as I finish off this video.

這是個不錯的小鎮… 在影片結尾同時，我再轉一次身，這樣大家就可以看到我身後的十字路口。

I should wrap this up; I only have 10 seconds left.

Thanks for watching; I hope you enjoyed a little bit of a tour of my town.

感謝收看，希望大家喜歡今天的小鎮導覽。

I'll probably do one video a week out here.

以後每週應該會有一支影片是在鎮上拍攝的。

I'll see you in a couple (of) days with another short English lesson. Bye.
