Hello and welcome to 6 Minute Vocabulary with me Finn. . .
欢迎收听六分钟词汇，我是费恩。
And me Alice. And today's show is all about binomials.
我是爱丽丝。本期我们要学的是组合词。
Or as some call them, binomials. Yes, those short and sweet phrases English speakers love to use in everyday English.
也叫做组合词。那些说英语的人喜欢在日常英语中使用简短而甜美的短语。
We'll look at what binomials are, what they mean and how to use them.
我们将会了解什么是组合词，如何运用它们。
There'll be a cheap and cheerful quiz.
然后会有个简单的小测试。
And we'll leave you with a quick and dirty tip for learning vocabulary.
传授你学习词汇的超棒妙招。
So: to start off, let's listen to Charlie and his mum talking about football practice.
所以，首先，让我们听一下查理和他的妈妈谈论足球练习。
Here's a question to think about while you listen: what's a good treatment for aches and pains?
边听录音边思考：什么是治疗疼痛的好方法？
What's good for aches and pains? Let's find out.
什么对疼痛和痛苦有好处？让我们来听听看吧。
Hello, love. How was practice today?
亲爱的。今天的练习如何？
Horrible. I hate football.
很糟糕。我讨厌足球。
Oh dear. Why's that?
噢，亲爱的。为什么？
I'm sick and tired of being in goal. Look at these bruises — I'm black and blue.
我厌倦了进球。看看这些瘀伤，我身上青一块紫一块的。
Let's have a look. . . oh yes love, why don't you jump in the bath?
让我看一下......噢，亲爱的，去洗个澡吧！
Warm water's very good for aches and pains.
温水对疼痛和痛苦非常有益。
So, that's Charlie and his mum. And we asked you: what's good for aches and pains?
这就是查理和和她妈妈的对话。所以，我要问你：什么可以缓解疼痛和痛苦？
And Charlie's mum says the answer is: a warm bath.
查理的妈妈说：洗个热水澡。
That's right. And the phrase aches and pains is our first binomial.
你答对了。痛苦和痛苦是我们的第一个二项式。
Now binomials are short English phrases made of two words that go together — and the two words are often joined with and. Like aches and pains. Which means: general pains in the body, that usually aren't serious.
现在，组合词是由两个单词组成的简短英语短语，并且两个单词经常与 and 连在一起。像 aches and pains，这意味着：全身普遍疼痛，通常并不严重。
Ok, now it's important to remember that binomials are always fixed: you can't change anything about them. You can't say pains and aches.
好了，现在重要的是要记住组合词总是固定的：一点也不能改变。你不能说 pains and aches。
You can't say aches and hurts and you can't say hurts and pains.
你不能说 aches and hurts 或 hurts and pains.
So, Alice. Do you suffer from aches and pains?
那么，爱丽丝。你有感觉过疼痛和痛苦吗？
Sometimes, Finn, when you're around. Anyway, poor Charlie said he was black and blue. He's talking about the bruises on his body he got from playing football.
有时候感觉过，当你在身边时，Finn。总之，可怜的查理说他身上青一块紫一块的。他说的是踢足球后身上的瘀伤。
Black and blue? Must have been a tough game?
青一块紫一块？一定是一场艰难的比赛吧？
Yes, no wonder Charlie said he's sick and tired of football.
是的，难怪查理说他厌倦了足球。
Sick and tired. It means really fed up and bored with something. And remember, we can't say tired and sick.
Sick and tired。意思是真的厌倦了或对有些东西感到无聊。记住，我们不能说 tired and sick。
We can't say sick and bored either. What are you sick and tired of at the moment, Finn?
我们也不能说 sick and bored。你有厌倦什么吗，Finn？
Well I'm sick and tired of commuting: travelling to work. It took me about an hour this morning.
我厌倦了通勤：来上班。今天早上我花了大约一个小时。
An hour? That's a really long time.
一个小时？这可真够久啊！
And another binomial: bit by bit — this time, the word in the middle is by instead of and.
还有另一个组合词：bit by bit——这次，中间的单词是 by 而不是 and。
And we're talking about binomials. And if you were listening carefully at the beginning of the show you might have noticed that we used a couple of binominals right at the start.
我们在谈论组合词。而且，如果你在节目开始时仔细聆听，你可能已经注意到我们在开始时就使用了一些组合词。
Short and sweet was one of them — it means simple, quick and useful.
Short and sweet 就是其中之一，意思是简单，简短还实用。
Short and sweet or: quick and dirty. That's another binomial with a similar meaning: quick and dirty means simple, short and basic.
Short and sweet 或者：quick and dirty。这是另外一个有相似含义的组合词：quick and dirty 的意思是简单，简短和基本。
And another similar one is: cheap and cheerful.
另一个相似的是：cheap and cheerful.
So, three binomials there you can use to describe something as quick, simple and basic.
因此，你可以使用三个组合词来描述快速，简单和基本的事物。
Now let's hear today's expressions again.
让我们再来看看今天的表达。
-Aches and pains. -It describes body pains that aren't serious.
-Aches and pains.-它描述了不严重的身体疼痛。
-Sick and tired. - Fed up, bored and angry.

-Bit by bit. -To describe slow change. And to say something is simple, short and basic we had three binomials: Short and sweet; quick and dirty; cheap and cheerful.
