全网最酷美语怎么说:第4期 你真讨人喜欢

 　　Nick: Hi everyone this is nick welcome to teaching series "how do you say this in American English." 大家好，我是Nick.

　　Brad:大家好,我是Brad

　　Nick:那今天还是请到我们这个特别好的老朋友Brad来跟我们大家一起分享Sweet在今天的场景的用法。那Sweet在中文中可以表达很多意思,比如说最常见的"食物是很甜的"。那大家也都知道还可以表达这个"something is amazing" 有些事非常awesome¹, cool， 你可以用比如说牛逼、很厉害有些东西可以用Sweet来表达，比如说你看到有人跳舞，这个舞蹈编排的非常好"The dance is pretty sweet, it's dope"待会我们会详细的解释去怎么用，当然了还有一个常见的就是你可以形容一个人非常Sweet，就是说他非常讨人喜欢，讨人喜爱。You are so sweet, so it describes the personality, right?

　　Brad: right

　　Nick: So like what I said before, I texted with a couple of my friends, and they replied me like "you are so sweet", what does that really mean?

　　Brad: Oh first that's a very a cute compliment to give someone. When you are being called sweet, you are desirable

　　Nick: Oh really?

　　Brad: Yeah, I mean, if you are being called sweet, it's definitely high compliment to be given and means they love your personality. You make them happy.

　　Nick: So am I like delightful²? Pleasant?

　　Brad: Yeah delightful and pleasant would be the words that could be almost replaced to sweet. Sweet is just more common in the English language.

　　Nick: that's pretty awesome. Do you know Chinese Lantern Festival, which was a couple of days ago?

　　Brad: Oh yeah of course

　　Nick: We lit off the firecrackers. They are always awesome. So can I say sweet when I see the firecrackers?

　　Brad: Yeah. It depends. Uh, in the scenario³, since we were discussing it, we would say that the large firecrackers are awesome. Because they make more light, they make more sound. They are much more awesome. But the smaller ones, yeah they are cool. They are not as good as the big ones but they are pretty sweet. That's an example when you would use sweet.

　　Nick: It's like the small firecrackers, or I can say specifically like the sparklers. They are sweet instead of awesome or cool.

　　Brad: they are not overwhelming you with the motions of how cool this is.

　　Nick: they don't blow your mind

　　Brad: Correct

　　Nick: awesome, thank you!那Brad刚刚就是说在这个personality这个部分,就是你如果非常讨人喜欢,比如说发信息,别人会跟你说You are so sweet，就是这个High compliment非常高的一个评价，说你很讨人喜欢，很delightful或者是pleasant.那在另一个场景的用法呢就是说某个东西很厉害,它是比awesome 低一点的级别，就是说它一些大的烟花,就是我们元宵节经常放的烟花，那种特别大的礼炮,飞的非常非常高，那种就可以叫Awesome. 因为程度是不一样的，你会觉得非常非常牛逼,非常厉害,非常酷.但是呢如果是那种小一点的,像那种窜天猴，仙女棒这种小小的,非常可爱,非常好看,观赏性非常强，这种就叫Sweet.It's pretty sweet.你不能说这种东西Awesome因为它这个level还达不到那种特别大的烟花那种震撼人心的效果，所以说一般这样的会叫做叫做Sweet. 那同样的如果你看到一个舞蹈,你觉得观赏性会很强,你看的很开心,你可以叫做"Oh, the dance is sweet" 这个就是一个Sweet的用法。那最后一个就是刚刚说的食物有糖"The food sweet"这种就不需要多阐述，大家都知道. So this is pretty much for today.

　　Brad:再见！
