哈嘍，歡迎回到“跟露西一起學英文”。今天，我們將講我最愛的另一集“五種常見的英式英文用語”。在我們開始之前，你一定要在社交媒體上聯系我喔，就在這邊。我也有Instagram賬號。當然，你也可以在YouTube上訂閱我或者在臉書上按我贊。對我的中國粉絲們來說，我也有微博賬號喔。
Okay, so our first expression is "a piece of cake." And this is very similar to "easy-peasy, lemon squeezy," which we've discussed in a previous video. And basically, it means very easy. So I might come out of a particularly easy exam saying, "That exam was a piece of cake." That exam was really easy.
好了，我們的第一個用語是“a piece of cake”。它跟“easy-peasy, lemon squeezy”的意思很類似，我們在上一個視頻中討論過。它基本上是“很簡單”的意思。所以我可能會在考完一個很簡單的考試后說：“That exam was a piece of cake.”那考試很簡單。
So, number two, "Break a leg!" actually looks really rather cruel, but I promise you it's positive. And "Break a leg!" means "Good luck!" So before a race, before a job interview, before a test,instead of saying "Good luck!," I might say "Break a leg!" Do really well.
第二個“Break a leg!”聽起來好像挺殘忍的，但我保證它很積極。“Break a leg!”代表“祝你好運”！所以在比賽、工作面試或考試前，比起說“Good luck”，我可能會說“Break a leg!”，好好發揮吧。
So since we're talking about legs, let's bring arms into the equation as well. Number three is "It cost an arm and a leg." And this basically means something was really expensive. If I say, "My bag cost an arm and a leg," I mean it cost a lot of money.
既然我們說了跟腿有關的用語，那么也一起討論一下手臂吧。第三個用語是“It cost an arm and a leg”。它基本上就是指東西很昂貴。如果我說：“My bag cost an arm and a leg”，意思就是它花了很多錢。
Now, the next one isn't particularly nice. It is "to pop one's clogs." And this actually means "to die," but we use it quite affectionately. It's like a nice way of saying that someone's died. So, "I'm going to a funeral this Sunday. My neighbor's popped his clogs." It's a way of saying "My neighbor's died," but we don't want to say the "death" word, so we say "They've popped their clogs."
下一個用語并不是特別好，它是“to pop one's clogs”，意思其實就是指“死掉”，但我們把它用得比較有感情一點兒。這是一種表示別人過世比較好的說法。所以，“I'm going to a funeral this Sunday. My neighbor's popped his clogs.”就是說“我鄰居死掉了”的一種方式，但因為我們不想講出死這個字，所以我們說“They've popped their clogs（他們過世了）”。
And then we have number five, "to call it a day."And this means "to end a task." So, for example,"I'm feeling a bit tired. I think I'll call it a day." And that means "I think I'll stop here. Let's finish." So, well, as we come to number five,I think I'll call it a day now! Bye!
接下來第五個用語“to call it a day”，意思就是“結束一個任務”。例如：“I'm feeling a bit tired. I think I'll call it a day.”，意思就是“我想我就在這邊先停止，我們做個結束吧。”所以，我們已經到第五個用語了，我想我們現在就結束吧，再見！
