Hello English learners(学习者) and welcome to EnglishPod. My name is Marco. And I'm Erica. Erica, today we are really excited, right? Yeah, we've got a great lesson today all( 全部) about real English. Exactly(确切地).
English that you hear in movies and TV shows. Yeah, speaking of movies, today's podcast takes place at the movies. Exactly. And that's why it's so fun(有趣的) today. Uh-huh. Okay(好), great.
So before( 在…之前) we listen to our dialogue, let's take a look(看) at our vocabulary(词汇) preview(预演). Vocabulary preview. In today's vocabulary preview, we have two words. And the first word is inconsiderate. Inconsiderate. Inconsiderate.
So Erica, what is it when someone is inconsiderate? If someone's inconsiderate, they're not thinking about the feelings of other people. Right. So for example, yesterday I was on the subway and it was full. Right. And an old lady(女士) was standing(站立) there and no one got up to give her their seat(座位).
That was pretty inconsiderate. Great. So now let's take a look at our second word and it's keep it down. Keep it down. Keep it down. Keep it down.
So why don't we listen to some examples on how we use keep it down so we can understand. Example one. Excuse(原谅) me. Do you mind(头脑) keeping it down? It's after midnight. Okay.
I'm sorry. Example two. I'm trying to study. Do you mind keeping it down? Example three. You mind keeping it down?
I'm trying to watch the game. So that means be quiet. Yes. Don't make(使) so much noise(喧闹声). I used to hear this one all the time from my mother. I think we all did when we were children.
Yeah. Okay. So now let's listen to the dialogue for the first time. It's going to be kind(种类) of fast. But don't worry( 担忧) about it if you can't understand everything. By the end of today's lesson, you will understand this dialogue.
People in front of us are making so much noise. It's so inconsiderate. Don't worry about it. It's not such a big deal(买卖). I can't hear a thing. Excuse me.
Can you keep it down? Sure( 〈口语〉 的确). Sorry about that. Someone's phone is ringing(响). Honey(蜜), I think it's your phone. Did you forget to switch(转换) it off?
I know. You're right. That's so embarrassing( 令人难堪的). Do you mind keeping it down? I'm trying to watch a movie here. Well, I hate it when people's phones ring when I'm watching a movie.
I think everyone gets kind of angry, but we're going to talk about this a little bit(一点) later. Why don't we take a look now at our Language Takeaway(外卖食品). Language takeaway. So the language takeaway is our most important words for today's lesson. And our first word today is not such a big deal. Not such a big deal.
Not such a big deal. So when something is not a big deal, it's... Not a big problem.
