If you're lost, you can look and you will find me, time after time.
如果你在学习方面迷茫了，可以来找我，反复来我这里学习。
Hey, everyone.
大家好。
I'm Alex.
我是Alex。
Thanks for clicking, and welcome to this lesson on some common word pairs or expressions with time.
感谢大家点击链接进入本课程，学习一些常用的关于时态变化的词组或短语。
So, not just the word " time" , but different expressions we use to indicate time, or different expressions or word pairs we use to talk about how long something takes, or when something happens.
不只是个单词“时态”，我们还要用不同的词语来表示时间，我们用不同的表达方式或词组来描述某件事情需要多长时间，或是在什么时候发生的。
So, first we're going to look at five, and then we're going to look at another five, and each time we go over one of these word pairs I'll give you an example sentence, and I want you to, you know, see if you can guess the meaning of this expression from the context, and then I will tell you the actual definition of, you know, what this expression or this word pair means.
首先，我们先讲一下前5个，再说一下后5个，每复习这些词组中其中一个时，我会给大家举个例子，希望你们，能明白。但愿你们能从上下文中猜出这个表达式的意思，之后我会告诉大家这个表达式或词组的真正含义。
So, let's not waste any more time and let's begin.
别浪费时间了，开始吧。
Number one: " then and there" .
第一个：“当场”。
The sentence is: " I was hired then and there." Now, if you know the meaning, obviously, of " then" , at that time; and " there" , in that place - it means at that moment.
句子是这样的：“我当场被录取了。”现在，如果你知道它的含义了，很明显，“那时”，那个时候，“那里”，在那个地方—意思就是就在那一刻。
Okay?
懂了吗？
So at that exact moment.
就在那个时候。
At that moment.
在那一刻。
So, imagine you go to a job interview in this case and the interview goes very well, sometimes the person who does your job interview says: " Okay, we'll. . . We'll call you back and we'll let you know." But sometimes if they know that you're the right person for the job, they will tell you when. . .
因此，想象一下你去参加一场面试，面试过程很顺利，面试官有可能会说：“好的，我们打算......我们打算之后再联系你，通知结果。”但有时候，如果他们知道你是适合这个岗位的人选，他们会告诉你......
They will ask you, actually: " When can you start? " and they will hire you on the spot, they will hire you then and there, in that moment.
当他们真的这样问你：“你什么时候能开始工作？”他们就是打算要当场雇用你，此时此景，就在那一刻。
Okay?
懂了吗？
So that's what " then and there" means, at that moment.
这就是“当场”的意思，就在那一刻。
Or: " She kissed me then and there." , " I was hired then and there." Next: " sooner or later" .
或是：“她当场亲了我。”“我当场就被雇佣了。”接下来：“迟早”。
Sooner or later.
迟早。
" You'll have to do it sooner or later." So, most of us I think don't like washing dishes or we don't like doing the laundry, and we just look at it in the corner, you know, telling ourselves: " Okay, we will do it. Not now, later. Later." Okay?
“你迟早都要这么做”，我认为多数人都不爱刷碗或洗衣服，我们就只是把它扔在那不管，你理解吧，并告诉自己：“好的，我们得这么做。但不是现在，晚点，晚点的。”懂了么？
And maybe, you know, somebody will tell you: " Okay, can you. . . ? Can you do it now? Because you will have to do it sooner or later." And in this case it means eventually.
你也可能知道，某个人会告诉你：“好的，你能？你能现在就做吗？因为你迟早要做的。”在这种情况下，意思就是早晚都要。
Okay?
懂了吗？
So, to say something a little more serious: " Sooner or later we're all going to die." You know, it's going to happen.
那么，说一点更严肃的话题：“我们所有人早晚都有死亡的一天。”你知道的，这一天早晚都要来。
It's going to happen.
早晚都会发生的。
That's not the happiest memory or the happiest image, but you know, I think you get the meaning.
这在记忆和想象中不是件很快乐的事，但我认为你明白其中的含义了。
Sooner or later.
迟早。
" Wait and see" .
“拭目以待”。
Very simply: " Let's wait and see what happens." This just means let's be patient.
简单的例子：“让我们拭目以待将会发生什么吧。”就是表示让我们耐心点等着吧。
Be patient.
耐心一点。
Okay?
懂了吗？
So, if you are watching a movie with a friend and your friend wants to know what happens next in the movie because you have seen the movie before, and your friend's like: " Oh, what happens next? What happens next? " And you just say: " Wait and see. Okay? Just wait and you will see what happens next." So, just be patient.
那么，如果你和朋友一起看电影，你的朋友们想知道影片下一幕将会发生什么，但你已经看过这部电影了，你的朋友会说：“后面发生什么了？之后怎么了？”你只是说：“拭目以待吧。好吗？静静地观赏接下来的一幕吧。”请耐心点。
Now, the final two on the first board are very similar: " now and then" , " from time to time" .
现在，第一部分的最后两个词组非常相似：“时不时地”，“不时”。
Both of these, if you look at the sentences: " I talk to him now and then." , " She reads biographies from time to time." What do you think these expressions mean?
这两个词组，如果你看下这个句子：“我会时不时的跟他聊天。”“她会不时地阅读传记。”你认为这种表达式是什么意思？
Sometimes, that's right.
有时，这样没错。
So, infrequently or sometimes.
很少或者有时候。
Sometimes.
有时。
Another word, maybe might be new for some of you guys: " infrequently" , not frequently, and these are interchangeable.
另一个单词，可能对你们某些人来说是陌生的：“很少地”，不经常性的，可交替的。
Okay?
懂了吗？
So: " now and then" , " from time to time" .
那么：“时不时地”，“不时”。
" We go to restaurants from time to time." , " We go to restaurants now and then." , " I read mystery novels from time to time." , " I read mystery novels now and then." -" How often do you call your mom? " -" Now and then." , -" From time to time." Okay?
“我们时不时地就会去饭店吃”，“我们不时的就会去饭店吃。”“我不时的就会阅读一些探秘小说”，“我时不时地就会阅读探秘小说。”-“你多久给你妈妈打一次电话？”-“时不时的就会”，“不时的。”懂了吗？
So, we have: " then and there" , " sooner or later" , " wait and see" , " now and then" , " from time to time" .
我们还讲了：“当场”，“迟早”，“拭目以待”，“时不时地”，“不时的”。
And now let's look at five more.
现在再来说一下另外5个词组。
So, magic.
见证奇迹的时刻。
Ooo.
噢！
Hwah!
喔哦！
Okay, so the next five.
来看下接下来的5个。
First: " quick and easy" .
第1个：“又快又容易”。
" The test was quick and easy." So, something that doesn't take a lot of time, is not very difficult, basically let's just say very easy.
“考试又快又简单。”不用耗费太多时间做某事，也不难，基本上可以说成很简单。
Doesn't take time, doesn't take a lot of effort.
不花太多时间和精力。
So, often, if you like to cook and you see recipes on the internet or in a cookbook, you know, some of the cookbooks are called: " Quick and Easy Recipes" .
通常的，如果你喜欢做饭，你可以在网上或烹饪书中找到食谱，一些烹饪书被称作“又快又简单的食谱”。
So, a quick and easy recipe for pancakes, for example.
例如，烙饼的快速便捷食谱。
Okay?
懂了吗？
So something that doesn't take a lot of time and something that is simple, not complicated.
就是一些不耗时间、很简单、不复杂的事情。
The final four are all very much related to making progress.
最后4个都和进步有很大的关系。
So, think about your own progress in English and learning a new language.
想想你自己在英语方面的进步，并学习一门新语言。
Now, to learn a new language you should go " slowly but surely" .
为了学习一门语言，你应该“慢而稳”。
So: " He's improving slowly but surely." So, you're doing something slowly, it's not fast, like learning a language takes time, but if you go watch videos or study your books or listen to movies, you will definitely, like, surely. . .
这样说：“他的进步很慢，但是很稳。”如果你正在慢慢的做着某事，不快，像学习语言一样耗费时间，但如果你在看视频、看书或看电影，你当然会......
Slowly but surely, definitely improve.
又慢又稳的，这样肯定会取得进步。
So this just means gradually.
意思就是循序渐进的。
You will gradually improve.
你会逐步得到提升。
Okay?
懂了吗？
So let's go slowly but surely, slowly but surely.
让我们慢而稳的，循序渐进的。
Next: " slow and steady" .
接下来：“缓慢而稳定”。
" Don't rush! Just go slow and steady." So, you see: " slowly but surely" , " s but s" , " slow and steady" , " s and s" .
“别着急！慢慢的，稳当的。”你学到了：“慢但很稳”，“X但很X”，“缓慢而稳定的”，“X而且X”。
Basically, they both mean gradually or without rushing.
它们基本上都表示循序渐进，不着急的意思。
So, I'm just going to write without rushing, not rushing.
我准备一笔一划地写字，不急于求成。
And if you're sitting there watching me, saying: " What is 'rush'? What does 'rushing' mean? " To rush means to do something quickly, very, very fast.
如果你坐在那看着我，说：“‘快点的’是什么意思？‘着急的’是什么意思？”快点的意思就是非常非常快的做某事。
Okay?
懂了吗？
So: " Don't rush. Just go slow and steady." Steady, like calmly, at a regular pace.
像这样：“别着急。慢慢的，稳当的。”稳当，就好比平静的，一步一步的。
Not, like, fast, slow, fast, slow, but the same pace.
不像是快会，慢会，快会，慢会，而是一个节奏的。
You're very focused.
你非常专注。
Okay.
好的。
Next: " little by little" and " step by step" .
接下来：“一点一点的”和“一步一步的”。
Oo, baby.
亲。
You guys know what I'm talking about.
你们应该知道我要说什么。
So: " Little bit little, we're getting there." Same as here: " Slowly but surely" , gradually, " little by little" , this is also an Oasis song.
像这样：“我们会一点一点的抵达那里”。类似于：“慢而稳”，逐步的，“一点一点的”，这还是一首绿洲之歌的名字呢。
" Little by little" , something, something.
“一点一点的”，布拉布拉。
I can't remember.
我记不住了。
If you know, let me know in the comments.
如果你知道，请在留言区告诉我。
And finally: " step by step" .
最后一个：“一步一步的”。
" Just go step by step." So, you take steps when you walk.
“一步一步的走。”当你走路时，是一步一步的走。
Right?
对吧？
So if you do something step by step by step, you start at the bottom and you maybe keep walking up, or you are at the beginning of a very long journey,
如果你一步一步的做某件事，从零开始，你会继续往前走，或是在一次漫长旅程中起步，
a very long trip, and you. . .
非常漫长的旅程，而你......
How do you get to the end?
你如何抵达终点？
How do you reach your goal?
如何达成你的目标？
Step by step by step by step.
一步一步一步一步的。
Okay?
懂了吗？
So, gradually.
循序渐进的。
