The weather today is not normal.

今天的天氣不正常。

It is November 25th and it is 10 degrees Celsius out here.

今天是 11 月 25 日，這裡的氣溫是 10 攝氏度。

In fact, if I was to choose an English word to describe this weather, I would choose the word bizarre.

事實上，如果讓我選擇一個英文單詞來形容這種天氣，我會選擇 "怪異 "這個詞。

The weather is bizarre for this time of year.

每年這個時候的天氣都很怪異。

Normally it's minus one and maybe snowing a little bit, but definitely this weather is bizarre.

平時是零下 1 度，可能還會下點小雪，但現在的天氣肯定很詭異。

When you use the word bizarre to describe something that's not normal, you're really emphasizing that it's really not normal.

當你用 "離奇 "這個詞來形容不正常的事情時，你其實是在強調它真的不正常。

So anyways, welcome to this English lesson.

總之，歡迎來到這節英語課。

Let's go a few places and let's look at a few more things that are not normal, and I'll teach you some words and phrases you can use to describe them.

讓我們去幾個地方，再看看一些不正常的事情，我會教你一些可以用來描述它們的詞和短語。

So sometimes in English we simply use the word odd to describe something that isn't how it normally is.

是以，有時在英語中，我們只需用 "odd"（奇怪）一詞來形容與通常情況不同的事物。

Now it's pretty normal to have Christmas displays set up in town, but what I find odd about this Christmas display is how early it was set up.

現在，在鎮上擺放聖誕飾品已經很正常了，但讓我感到奇怪的是，這個聖誕飾品擺放得如此之早。

For me, I think that Christmas displays should be set up around December 1st.

對我來說，我認為聖誕展覽應該在 12 月 1 日左右佈置。

I don't feel like they should be here at the beginning of November.

我覺得他們不應該在 11 月初就來這裡。

To me, the timing is a little bit odd.

對我來說，這個時機有點奇怪。

For me, a normal time to set up a Christmas display would be December 1st.

對我來說，佈置聖誕展覽的正常時間是 12 月 1 日。

That sounds like a good time.

聽起來不錯。

Christmas is December 25th.

聖誕節是 12 月 25 日。

Let's wait until December 1st.

讓我們等到 12 月 1 日吧。

So maybe it's just me, maybe everyone else in the world loves it, but for me, setting up Christmas displays before December 1st seems a little odd.

所以，也許只是我的原因，也許世界上其他人都喜歡這樣，但對我來說，在 12 月 1 日之前佈置聖誕裝飾似乎有點奇怪。

A little bit not normal.

有點不正常。

Sometimes in English we just use the word unusual.

有時在英語中，我們只用不尋常這個詞。

It's unusual to see people eating ice cream cones in November in Ontario, Canada.

在加拿大安大略省，11 月還能看到人們吃冰激凌甜筒，這很不尋常。

Usually we eat ice cream in the warmer months, in June, July, August, and even in September.

我們通常在溫暖的季節吃冰淇淋，六月、七月、八月，甚至九月。

But I thought I would get an ice cream cone today, even though this is kind of unusual for this time of year.

但我覺得今天應該吃個甜筒冰淇淋，儘管這在每年的這個時候都有點不尋常。

So again, when you're talking about something that's not normal in English, you can use the word unusual.

所以，當你在談論一些在英語中不正常的事情時，可以再次使用 "不尋常 "這個詞。

So sometimes in English we put the word odd and the word unusual together, and we say that something is odd and unusual.

是以，在英語中，我們有時會把 "odd"（奇怪）和 "unspecialty"（不尋常）放在一起，說某件事既奇怪又不尋常。

These houses behind me are a little bit odd and unusual.

我身後的這些房子有點古怪和不尋常。

In Ontario, Canada, we don't often paint our houses with vibrant colors like this.

在加拿大安大略省，我們很少把房子刷成這樣鮮豔的顏色。

These are really, really cool.

這些真的非常非常酷。

And by the way, if you wanted to buy one, I think this one is for sale.

順便說一句，如果你想買一個，我想這個正在出售。

So sometimes we say something is odd and unusual.

是以，有時我們會說一些奇怪和不尋常的事情。

We put the two words together.

我們把這兩個詞放在一起。

I'm going to show you a few more of these.

我再給你們看幾個。

I think what I like the most about these odd and unusual houses is how the colors are very, very vibrant.

我覺得這些奇特的房子最吸引我的地方就是它們的色彩非常非常鮮豔。

I think I mentioned that already.

我想我已經說過了。

Even the fence in front of this house, the house itself is a cool green.

就連房子前面的柵欄，房子本身也是涼爽的綠色。

This one behind me is yellow and purple mixed together.

我身後的這個是黃色和紫色混合在一起的。

So just very, very cool.

所以非常非常酷。

Kind of odd and unusual.

有點奇怪和不尋常。

And it doesn't have to be a negative thing.

這不一定是件壞事。

Some people really like odd and unusual things.

有些人非常喜歡稀奇古怪的東西。

I think sometimes my English lessons are a little bit odd and unusual, but you guys seem to like them.

我覺得有時我的英語課有點古怪和不尋常，但你們似乎很喜歡。

So sometimes we put those two words together to describe something and say it's odd and unusual.

是以，有時我們會把這兩個詞放在一起形容某件事情，說它奇特、不尋常。

Sometimes you see something and you just think, that's weird.

有時你看到一些東西，會覺得很奇怪。

It's not what you expect to see.

這不是你期望看到的。

You're like, oh, that's weird.

你會想，哦，這太奇怪了。

That's a little bit weird.

這有點奇怪。

I'm going to show you something that I think is a little bit weird.

我要給你們看一些我覺得有點奇怪的東西。

If you look over here, there is a spot where you can charge an electric vehicle.

如果你看這裡，有一個可以給電動汽車充電的地方。

But what's kind of weird is it's in an alley, so you can, I'm not even sure how you would get your car into this little spot.

但有點奇怪的是，它在一條小巷裡，所以你可以，我都不知道你怎麼把車開進這個小地方。

And then if you look over here, I don't even see a place where you can plug in your electric vehicle.

再看這邊，我甚至沒看到一個可以給電動車插電的地方。

Like, normally there would be some sort of charging station.

比如，通常會有某種充電站。

So whenever I see this, whenever I'm in this town and I walk by this area and I see this electric car charging area, I think, that's weird.

所以，每當我看到這個，每當我在這個小鎮，路過這個區域，看到這個電動汽車充電區，我就會想，這太奇怪了。

So I came to the town of Grimsby, Ontario today to make this English lesson and there's a lot more traffic than I expected.

今天我來到安大略省的格里姆斯比鎮上英語課，這裡的交通比我想象的要繁忙得多。

I think this is a bit out of the ordinary.

我覺得這有點不尋常。

It's one o'clock in the afternoon on a Monday.

現在是星期一下午一點。

I didn't expect to see so many cars driving down the road.

我沒想到會看到這麼多車在路上行駛。

I think it's a little bit out of the ordinary.

我覺得這有點不尋常。

In English when we say something is out of the ordinary, it's different than how it normally is.

在英語中，當我們說某件事情 "出格"（out of the ordinary）時，它就與通常的情況不同。

I would think that normally this town is very quiet on a Monday afternoon, that there is very little traffic, but it seems to me like there's almost a bit of a traffic jam.

我認為，通常情況下，週一下午這個小鎮是非常安靜的，車流很少，但在我看來，這裡幾乎有點堵車。

If you look down the road, there's this huge row of cars.

如果你往路上看，就會看到一大排汽車。

I know the cars aren't flying by really quickly, but I think this is definitely out of the ordinary.

我知道車速並不快，但我認為這絕對不尋常。

I think normally on a Monday afternoon, it would be very quiet and there would be very little traffic.

我想，通常在週一下午，這裡會非常安靜，車流很少。

So behind me you can see our local hospital and I would say this, doctors and nurses work wacky hours.

在我身後，你可以看到我們當地的醫院，我想說的是，醫生和護士的工作時間都很古怪。

When you use the word wacky in English, you're describing something that is very abnormal.

當你在英語中使用 "古怪 "一詞時，你描述的是非常不正常的事情。

Did I teach the word abnormal yet?

我教過 "不正常 "這個詞了嗎？

Abnormal is the opposite of normal, but doctors and nurses work wacky hours.

不正常是正常的反義詞，但醫生和護士的工作時間卻很古怪。

They work during the day, they work at night, they work in the evening, they work early in the morning.

他們白天工作，晚上工作，傍晚工作，清晨工作。

Most people have normal hours.

大多數人的工作時間都很正常。

Most people work from 8 to 5 or 7 to 4 or if you have a long day, maybe 7 to 5.

大多數人的工作時間是 8 點到 5 點或 7 點到 4 點，如果你的工作時間較長，可能是 7 點到 5 點。

But doctors and nurses definitely work wacky hours.

但醫生和護士的工作時間肯定很古怪。

By the way, we're getting a new hospital.

順便說一句，我們要建一所新醫院了。

They're slowly building a new hospital.

他們正在緩慢地建造一座新醫院。

The old one is in front here and the new one is just, I bet you they're about halfway done, the new hospital.

舊醫院就在前面，新醫院就在後面，我敢打賭，新醫院已經完成了一半。

It's pretty cool.

這很酷。

Then the doctors and nurses could work wacky hours in that hospital.

這樣，醫生和護士就可以在醫院裡瘋狂地工作了。

Sometimes we just say something is strange.

有時候，我們只是說有些事情很奇怪。

If you look at this tree behind me, you can see that it has all of its leaves on it still.

如果你看看我身後的這棵樹，就會發現它的葉子都還在。

And that's a little bit strange for this time of year.

在這個季節，這有點奇怪。

Usually at this point in the fall, you don't see leaves on the trees.

通常在秋天的這個時候，樹上是看不到葉子的。

Usually they're all on the ground.

通常它們都在地面上。

Now if there's a lot of leaves on the ground, that's pretty normal.

如果地上有很多樹葉，那很正常。

But it certainly is strange that this tree still has all its leaves.

但奇怪的是，這棵樹的葉子居然還沒掉光。

It's also a bit strange that the lake doesn't have a little bit of ice on it yet.

還有一點奇怪的是，湖面上還沒有一點冰。

If we walk over here, we're by Lake Ontario.

如果我們走到這裡，就到了安大略湖邊。

It's a little bit strange.

這有點奇怪。

Normally the lake isn't frozen over, but normally at this time of year, there's a little bit of ice along the shore.

通常情況下，湖面不會結冰，但每年的這個時候，湖岸上通常會結一些冰。

Just a tiny bit.

只有一點點

There's probably going to be people from this area who say there's never ice on the lake at this time in November.

可能會有來自這個地區的人說，11 月的這個時候湖面上從來沒有結過冰。

But for me, on November 25th, I think it's strange that there's not a little bit of ice there.

但對我來說，11 月 25 日這一天，我覺得很奇怪，那裡竟然沒有一點冰。

And it's definitely strange that that tree has all its leaves on it still.

那棵樹上的葉子都還在，這肯定很奇怪。
