現在，讓我們來看看對話中的一些短語。

First, we have the phrase mix up.

首先，我們把短語搞混了。

So the meaning of the phrase that.

It refers to a situation where a mistake happened in the arrangement.

指的是在安排過程中出現錯誤的情況。

Example, I mixed up my luggage at the airport and now I have someone else's suitcase instead of mine.

例如，我在機場把行李弄混了，現在我的行李箱是別人的，而不是我的。

That means I did that by mistake, not intentionally.

這說明我是誤打誤撞，並非有意為之。

The second phrase we have is end up.

我們的第二個短語是結束。

So end up means to finally arrive at a particular result, often unexpectedly.

所以，"結束 "的意思是最終得出一個特定的結果，往往是出乎意料的。

Example, I didn't plan to work in this field, but I ended up loving it.

例如，我並沒有打算從事這一領域的工作，但我最終愛上了它。

The third phrase is catch up.

第三個短語是追趕。

So the phrase catch up has several meanings.

是以，"迎頭趕上 "一詞有多種含義。

But when she says in the conversation, I need to catch up on some TV shows.

但當她在談話中說，我需要看一些電視節目。

She wants to watch episodes on TV shows that she hasn't seen yet.

她想看她還沒看過的電視劇集。

That means she is behind on the latest episodes and she wants to get up to date.

這意味著她已經落後於最新的劇集，她想趕上最新的進度。

The fourth one, same old.

第四個，還是老樣子。

It is commonly used to express that things are unchanged or that a situation is recurring familiarly.

它通常用來表示事物沒有變化或某一情況正在熟悉地重複出現。

For example, nothing new, just the same old problems.

例如，沒有新東西，只有老問題。

Hit the gym is an informal expression that means to go to the gym or engage in a workout or exercise session.

Hit the gym 是一種非正式的表達方式，意思是去健身房或進行鍛鍊或運動。

The sixth one, the term chill, is often associated with relaxation.

第六個是 "寒冷"，它通常與放鬆聯繫在一起。

For example, after a long day at work, I like to chill and watch TV.
