So I thought it would be a good idea to make another English lesson at the mall.

我覺得在商場裡再上一堂英語課是個好主意。

I did one of these a few years ago now, but I thought it would be fun to do another one.

幾年前我做過一個這樣的影片，但我覺得再做一部會很有趣。

So here we are at the mall.

我們現在在商場裡。

And I wanted to start by telling you about three verbs that I use when I talk about the mall.

首先，我想告訴大家我使用的三個動詞。

I would say something like this:

當我談到商場時，我會這樣說：

"I'm here today to go shopping."

「我今天是來購物的。」

I might also say, "I'm here today to do some shopping."

我還可以說：「我今天是來購物的。」

Be careful with that one, though.

用第二個的時候要小心點。

You do need the word some in there or you can even use a little bit.

你需要加上 some 這個詞，也可以用 a little bit。

"I'm here today to do a little bit of shopping."

「我今天是來購物的。」

And then, also, in English, we like to use the word "grab" a lot.

在英語中，我們也喜歡用 grab 這個詞。

"I'm here to grab some things."

「我是來買東西的。」

I'm not actually going to buy anything, though.

不過我不會買任何東西。

This is I'm just giving those as examples.

我只是舉例說明。

But once again, welcome to this English lesson at the mall.

不過，還是歡迎大家來商場上這堂英語課。

So I'm happy because this mall still has a map of the mall.

我很高興，因為這個商場還有商場地圖。

You can see a map of the mall up there and a list of all the stores.

你可以在上面看到商場的地圖和所有商店的清單。

Different mall that I was at recently, you have to download an app in order to find stores in the mall.

最近去過的一個不同的商場，必須下載一個應用程式才能找到商場裡的商店。

I like this better.

我更喜歡這個。

You'll usually find a map like this.

你通常會找到這樣一張地圖。

Close to the entrance of the mall.

靠近商場入口。

We would call that the entrance.

我們稱之為入口。

There's no main entrance in this mall, though.

不過，這個商場沒有主入口。

There's just a lot of entrances like one on every side of the mall, if not more.

只是入口很多，比如商場的每一邊都有一個，甚至更多。

So the map of the mall and one of the entrances.

這就是商場的地圖和其中一個入口。

Oh and by the way, mall is actually the short way of saying shopping mall.

對了，「商場」其實是「購物中心」的簡稱。

So I am right now at a shopping mall in Burlington, Ontario.

我現在就在安大略省伯靈頓的一家購物中心。

If I wanted to speak quickly, though, I would just say, "Right now, I'm at a mall in Burlington, Ontario."

如果我想講快一點，就說：「現在我在安大略省伯靈頓的一家商場裡。」

So in North America, we generally refer to all of the places where you can buy things as either stores or shops.

在北美，我們通常把所有能買到東西的地方統稱為商店或店鋪。

We use those two words interchangeably quite a bit.

我們經常交替使用這兩個詞。

I know if you're learning British English, there might be a slight difference between stores and shops.

我知道，如果你正在學習英式英語，商店和店鋪之間可能會有一點區別。

But this behind me, I would call it a store.

但我身後的這個，我稱之為 store。

I might also call it a shop.

我也可以稱它為 shop。

I would use both words interchangeably.

我會把這兩個詞交替使用。

But this down here, let me spin you around.

不過，讓我帶你繞一圈。

You look down here, I would call this a kiosk when it's located kind of in the middle part of the mall.

從這裡往下看，我把它稱作小亭，因為它位於商場的中間部分。

We call these little things kiosks.

我們稱這些小東西為小亭。

You can see down the middle, there are a number of different kiosks here.

你可以看到中間有許多不同的小亭。

You can buy a case for your cell phone.

在這裡，你可以購買手機殼。

You can buy popcorn and here, you can buy more cases for your cell phone or a cell phone if you need one.

你可以買爆米花，還可以在這裡買更多的手機殼，如果需要的話，還可以買手機。

So I thought real quick, we should review the vocabulary we use to talk about different kinds of stores.

所以我想，我們應該儘快回顧一下我們用來談論不同類型商店的詞彙。

This store behind me is a computer store.

我身後的這家店是一家電腦店。

This is a place where they sell computers.

這是一個賣電腦的地方。

This store here is a shoe store.

這家店是鞋店。

This is where you would come if you wanted to buy a new pair of shoes.

如果你想買一雙新鞋，就會來這裡。

This is a clothing store.

這是一家服裝店。

You would come to a store like this if you needed to buy a shirt or a skirt or maybe you need a suit, you would definitely come to a clothing store if you needed to buy clothes.

如果你需要買一件襯衫或裙子，或者需要一套西裝，你肯定會到這樣的服裝店來。

We also still have department stores at our malls.

我們的商場裡還有百貨商店。

A department store is a large store that sells pretty much everything.

百貨商店是一家大型商店，幾乎什麼都賣。

This department store sells clothing.

這家百貨公司出售服裝。

But if you look over here, you can also buy pots and pans and other things for your kitchen.

但如果你看看這裡，你還可以買到鍋碗瓢盆和其他廚房用品。

So these stores are generally quite big. Department stores generally have everything and usually there's more than one floor.

這些商店一般都是相當大的百貨商店，通常應有盡有，而且通常不止一層。

I think this one has two or three floors.

我想這棟樓有兩三層。

There's lots of things you could buy here.

你可以在這裡買到很多東西。

So right now I'm going down the escalator.

所以，現在我要從手扶梯下去。

An escalator is this really cool thing that you can go on when you want to get from one floor to another.

手扶梯是當你想從一個樓層到達另一個樓層時，你可以乘坐這個很酷的東西。

It's kind of like stairs for lazy people.

這有點像懶人的樓梯。

I remember as a kid the first time I went on an escalator, I actually forgot to take a step at the end and I tripped, but as an adult, I'm pretty good at going up and down the escalator.

我記得小時候第一次坐自動扶梯時，我居然忘了在最後走一步，結果被絆倒了，但作為成年人，我已經很擅長上下手扶梯了。

So I personally have not done a lot of shopping at a store like this.

我個人並沒有在這樣的商店裡買過很多東西。

This is a dress store.

這是一家服裝店。

You would come to a store like this if you were going to a fancy party or a wedding and you needed to find a dress.

如果你要參加一個豪華派對或婚禮，需要找一件禮服，你就會來這樣的商店。

So I have been to a store like this, though.

不過，我還是去過這樣的商店。

This is a jewelry store.

這是一家珠寶店。

I have been to jewelry stores not to buy jewelry for myself, but I have bought jewelry for Jen in the past.

我去珠寶店不是為了給自己買珠寶，而是為了給珍買珠寶。

So this is a jewelry store.

原來這是一家珠寶店。

This is where you would come if you needed earrings or maybe a necklace, uh or maybe a nice ring.

如果你需要耳環、項鍊或者漂亮的戒指，你就會來這裡。

So at the mall, there are a lot of stores, but the two kinds of stores that I see most often would be clothing stores.

在商場裡有很多商店，但我最常去的兩類商店是服裝店。

And if you look behind me over here, another shoe store, I find that the majority of the stores at malls in my part of the world are either selling clothing or they're selling shoes.

如果你看看我身後的另一家鞋店，我發現在我所在的地區，商場裡的大多數商店不是在賣服裝，就是在賣鞋。

So the store we're about to go in is one of my favorite stores.

我們要去的商店是我最喜歡的商店之一。

I love bookstores.

我愛書店。

I love coming and seeing what new books have come out recently.

我喜歡來看看最近出了什麼新書。

This bookstore in particular is a very, very nice store to shop at.

特別是這家書店，是一家非常非常適合購物的商店。

I've bought many, many books in this bookstore.

我在這家書店買過很多很多書。

So if you are athletic, if you like to play sports, you might want to go to a sporting goods store to buy some shoes or some shorts or other athletic gear.

如果你是運動健將，如果你喜歡運動，你可能想去體育用品商店買雙鞋、幾條短褲或其他運動裝備。

I'm not sure if that's the name that's used around the world in English.

我不確定這是否是世界各地是這樣稱呼這類商店。

But in Canada, we would call this a sporting goods store.

但在加拿大，我們稱之為體育用品店。

You can come here and buy anything you need for playing different sports.

你可以來這裡購買各種運動所需的任何物品。

You could buy a basketball, you could buy ice skates.

你可以買籃球，也可以買溜冰鞋。

I'll show you some on the wall right here.

我給你們看牆上的一些。

After all, we are in Canada, there are a lot of different ice skates available to be purchased here.

畢竟，我們是在加拿大，在這裡可以買到很多不同的冰刀。

So if you are into sports, if you like playing sports, this would be the store for you.

如果你喜歡運動，如果你喜歡玩體育，這家商店將非常適合你。

A sporting goods store.

一家體育用品商店。

So sometimes you're not feeling well.

所以有時你會感覺不舒服。

And if that's the case, you might want to go and find a drug store.

如果是這樣的話，你可能要去找一家藥店了。

So in Canada, we would call this either a drug store or a pharmacy.

在加拿大，我們稱之為藥店或藥房。

This is a place you would go if a doctor gave you a prescription and you needed to get it filled or maybe you just need something because you have a headache or maybe because you've hurt yourself and you just need some bandages.

如果醫生給你開了處方，你需要去配藥，或者你只是因為頭痛需要一些東西，或者你受了傷需要一些繃帶，

So you would then go to a drugstore.

你就會去這個地方。

When my kids were younger, they loved going to stores like this.

我的孩子還小的時候他們很喜歡去這樣的商店。

This is a toy store.

這是一家玩具店。

So if you needed to buy puzzles or games or stuffed animals or any other types of toys, this would be a great store to come to.

如果你需要購買拼圖、遊戲、毛絨玩具或任何其他類型的玩具，來這家商店都是不錯的選擇。

So, always a favorite with my kids when they were little.

我的孩子們小時候總是很喜歡這裡。

This is a toy store.

這是一家玩具店。

So it doesn't surprise me that this store is closed.

我對這家店關門並不感到意外。

This is what we would have called a record store or a CD store.

這就是我們所說的唱片店或 CD 店。

This is a place where you could buy music, but people usually don't buy their music that way anymore.

這是一個可以購買音樂的地方，但人們通常不會再用這種方式購買音樂了。

Usually they get their music online.

他們通常從網上獲取音樂。

So a store like this used to be very, very popular.

像這樣的商店曾經非常非常受歡迎。

But as you can see, even though the mall is open, this store is closed.

但是，正如你所看到的，儘管商場在營業，這家商店卻關門了。

So if you're wondering why there aren't very many people here, it's probably because I'm here on a Monday afternoon.

如果你想知道為什麼這裡人不多，那可能是因為我是週一下午來的。

So generally, people shop a lot on the weekends and maybe at night after work.

人們一般會在週末或晚上下班後大量購物。

But, I'm here today at one o'clock on a Monday.

但是我今天是星期一一點鐘來的。

So the mall is a little bit empty.

所以商場有點空蕩蕩的。

So it's pretty common for Canadians to go south in the winter. Jen and I don't do that very often.

加拿大人冬天去南方是很常見的。珍和我並不經常這樣做。

But if we did, we might come to a store like this to buy a bathing suit.

但如果是這樣，我們可能會到這樣的商店來買泳衣。

Yes, this is an entire store that is just filled with bathing suits and things you would buy if you were going south for the winter.

是的，這家店裡擺滿了泳衣和你去南方過冬時會買的東西。

So this is another store that I don't know a lot about, but this is a store that sells makeup.

這是我不太瞭解的另一家店，但這是一家賣化妝品的店。

So if you needed nail polish or you needed lipstick or you needed anything else, eyeliner. I don't even know all the words that you would use to describe what they sell in the store.

如果你需要指甲油、口紅或其他任何東西、眼線筆，我甚至不知道該用什麼詞來形容店裡賣的東西。

But you would come to this makeup store if you wanted to buy those things.

但如果你想買這些東西，你就會來這家化妝品店。

So when it comes to stores that I don't really know anything about and I might actually blush a little bit as I talk about this one.

說到那些我一無所知的商店，我可能真的會有點臉紅，因為我說到了這個。

This is a lingerie store.

這是一家內衣店。

This is a store you would go to for more intimate apparel.

這是一家你會去購買更多貼身衣物的商店。

I guess that's a good way to describe it, but it's here.

我想這是一個很好的描述方式，但它就在這裡。

It's at the mall.

在購物中心。

I've never shopped here, but this is a lingerie store.

我從沒在這裡買過東西，但這是一家內衣店。

So I've mentioned this in other videos uh when you're in Canada and you need to go to the washroom, you look for a sign like this and yes, we do use the word washroom.

我在其他影片中提到過這個問題，當你在加拿大需要去洗手間時，你要尋找這樣的標誌，是的，我們確實使用 washroom 這個詞。

If you were in the United States, you might use bathroom or restroom.

如果你在美國，你可能會使用 bathroom 或 restroom。

But certainly, if you need to go to the washroom or go to the bathroom uh or go to the restroom, you would certainly find one at a mall and it's usually in the food court.

當然，如果你需要上廁所或上洗手間，你肯定能在商場裡找到，而且通常是在美食廣場。

It's usually at the back of the food court.

通常在美食廣場的後面。

So this is one of my favorite places to go to in any mall. This is the food court.

在任何商場裡，這是我最喜歡去的地方之一。這是美食廣場。

The food court is the place in the mall where you can find all different types of restaurants in this food court.

美食廣場是購物中心中的一個地方，在這裡你可以找到各種不同類型的餐廳。

You can buy French fries, you can buy coffee, you can buy bagels, you can buy chicken, you can buy subs.

你可以買薯條，可以買咖啡，可以買貝果，可以買雞肉，可以買潛艇堡。

Uh, you can buy almost anything in this food court.

在這個美食廣場，你幾乎可以買到任何東西。

Uh, I think I might get some food myself in just a minute but there's so many choices.

我想我要點個東西給自己吃，但選擇太多了。

I'm not sure what I'm gonna get.

我不知道我要買什麼。

Hi. Could I get a double buddy burger with no onions?
