Let's not beat around the bush,

get the hell out of here.

If English is not your native language,

you may think it's difficult to learn.

Well, as someone who grew up speaking English, let me just say...

Yes, yeah, you're absolutely right.

English sucks.

It's confusing, there are too many rules and too many exceptions,

I before E except on Tuesdays and during full moons or something,

the birth of my channel literally begins with a video of how I hate pronouncing the word rural.

And now, I'm gonna complain about idioms.

Idioms are a group of words established by a usage as having meaning not deducible from those of the individual words,

blah blah blah.

Basically, figures of speech, alright?

Raining cats and dogs, meaning it's raining heavily.

It's raining a lot, but it has nothing to do with cats and dogs.

Who thought of this morbid metaphor?

They could have chosen rocks,

barrels, tires, anything else that was heavy and not alive.

If someone told me it was raining tables and chairs outside,

I'd be like, Oh man,

that's some heavy rain, I should probably stay inside.

But if I found out cats and dogs were falling out of the sky,

I'd be like, what the f* are we waiting for Jeremy?

We gotta save him!

Idioms help us express simple feelings in a more illustrated and colorful way.

And yes, I did look into the origins of these sayings,

but personally some of them just don't make sense upfront.

Turn a blind eye, or refusing to acknowledge something which you know to be real.

Pretend something didn't happen.

Like when you catch your sibling trying to sneak out of the house after being grounded,

and then they threaten you not to tell on them or else they'll punch you in your sleep,

you turn a blind eye.

Also, that's blackmail.

Okay, I get the blind eye part,

but why do you need to turn it?

If you're already blind, you won't be able to see anyway whether or not you're turned.

That's redundant.

Either turn or be blind.

They both accomplish the same level of visual ignorance.

If it was turn an eye blind, now that makes sense.

Ah, it's just more morbid.

Eat your heart out to feel great sadness,

often used as a taunt towards someone to encourage jealousy or regret.

My goodness, another gruesome idiom.

It's bad enough that I have to take my heart out to be able to eat it,

but then I gotta eat it.

This expression is often used with the name of someone famous as if to make them feel jealous of your accomplishment.

Hey, what do you think of my painting?

Wow, look at that.

Eat your heart out, Michelangelo, am I right?

I'm already dead.

In a pickle, to be in a troublesome situation.

Look, you could have picked a ditch,

a well, a chimney, anything that could contain a body, but a pickle?

Hey, I got your message.

Ran as fast as I can.

What's wrong?

Just help me out, no questions asked.

It's all downhill from here,

used to signify that the situation will only get worse from that point on.

But going downhill is the best part!

Think of all the things and activities you do going downhill.

Skiing, sledding, biking, hell, walking.

None of these are fun going uphill.

I guess in its defense the idiom could mean being out of control while going downhill,

but honestly you could be out of control at any level of steepness.

I've fallen up the stairs just as much as I've fallen down them.

Tickled pink.

To be delighted.

Yo, Reggie, got anything good for your birthday?

Yeah, actually, my parents finally got me a switch.

Wow, you must be tickled pink.

Yeah, you're right, I guess it only works for white people.

Which I don't understand, because when you're dead,

you shouldn't be able to feel anything, let alone embarrassment.

Ugh, Cindy, look at her top.

I wouldn't be caught dead wearing something so ugly.

Ugh.

Oh, don't worry.

I'll make sure they don't find your body.

Happy as a clam, an exaggeration of happiness.

The complete idiom is actually as happy as a clam at high tide,

because that's when they're least likely to be attacked by predators,

but many go with a shortened version in reference to how clams look like they're always smiling.

Uh, nope, I disagree.

It's just the angle of which you're looking at them.

If you look at them from this angle,

it looks like they're frowning.

And rightfully so, because I like clam chowder,

and being delicious is not a compliment you should be smiling about.

Goody Two Shoes.

Used to refer to someone who always does everything right and follows the rules,

to the point of annoyance.

Often used negatively.

Well, I did you guys a favor and read the story of Goody Two Shoes to see why.

Let me summarize it for you.

100

Marjorie, meanwhile, and her brother were two homeless orphans.

101

Marjorie grew up only wearing one shoe.

102

One day they meet a rich gentleman who buys her new clothes and a new pair of shoes.

103

She was so excited and grateful that she exclaimed it to everyone she met,

104

earning her name, Goody Two Shoes.

105

She believed the rich man was good and wise because of his great learning,

106

and so she learned to read and helped teach all the children in the village to learn as well.

107

She prevented a man from being robbed and murdered because she warned him after overhearing some men plotting about it.

108

She saved numerous animals from being abused by people.

109

She was so wise and good that some idiots accused her of being a witch and put her under trial.

110

She proves everyone wrong and continued being the goody two-shoes badass that she is.

111

Why is this used to make fun of people?

112

I strive to be a goody two-shoes and you should too.

113

Piece of cake or pie.

114

An easy or simple task.

115

There's nothing simple about a cake.

116

There's so many different ways to make a cake.

117

I guess if you don't care how it tastes,

118

baking a cake or pie can be simple.

119

But if the quality doesn't matter,

120

then you could easily just use any other food as the idiom.

121

Wow, that cake looks amazing!

122

Did you really make that?

123

Ah, yeah, it was a piece of steak.

124

What?

125

Eat your heart out, Duff Goldman.

126

Is that.. a famous chef or baker?

127

That's a no-brainer!

128

Okay man, I just wanted to know if you made it.

129

And Bob's your uncle.

130

Okay, weirdo.

131

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?

132

They already know NordVPN is sponsoring this.

133

But if you're unfamiliar with NordVPN,

134

it's a virtual private network service that helps protect your privacy and security online,

135

ensuring you browse the net anonymously with no data logging using military-grade encryption.

136

With thousands of servers in over 61 countries,

137

a lightweight user-friendly software, NordVPN lets you virtually be wherever you want in the world.

138

Have more than one device?

139

And no problemo!

140

You can protect up to six devices at once.

141

No way, you're pulling my leg!

142

Yes, but I'm telling the truth,

143

and hurry because this deal will end in early September.

144

If you've been on the fence about it,

145

now's the time to decide.

146

The ball is in your court.

147

Again, that's NordVPN.com slash Domix with the code DOMIX for 75% off a 3-year plan plus an extra month for free.

148

Enjoy the new school year!

149

Good luck!

150

I mean, you suck.

背景與語境

在學習英語的過程中，許多語言學習者可能會覺得理解和使用英語習語特別困難。習語是通過使用形成的片語，其含義並不能從個別單詞的字面意義中推斷出來。在這段對話中，講者深入探討了習語的複雜性，同時通過幽默的方式展示了這些表達的奇特和多樣性。通過對習語的分析，學習者不僅可以提高他們的詞彙量，還能更好地理解和運用這些富有表現力的語言形式。

日常交流的五個熱門短語

逐步影子跟讀指南

為了提高你的英語口語能力，尤其是掌握這些習語，以下是一個推薦的英語影子跟讀方法：

選擇合適的影片：在看YouTube學英語時，選擇包含豐富習語的對話影片。
初步理解內容：在觀看影片的第一遍時，儘量理解大意，不要過於糾結於具體單詞。
停頓跟讀：將影片分段，暫停並模仿講者的發音和節奏。注意語調和情感表達。
錄音比較：將自己的聲音錄下來，與影片中的發音進行對比，找出差距並加以改進。
反覆練習：多練習直至能自信地使用這些習語，這對雅思口語練習特別有幫助。

通過這種影子說的技巧，不僅能夠增強你的口語能力，還能讓你在使用英語時更加自信。在學習的過程中，保持積極的心態，嘗試去理解每一個習語背後的文化背景，這將大大提高你的英語溝通能力！

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：

結構	影片中的用法
“used to” used to + 動詞 — 過去的習慣或狀態，現在已不再如此	used to signify · Used to refer
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的	has been brought · being grounded · must be tickled
現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事	has been brought · I've fallen · you've been
定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物	someone who grew · someone who always

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
