Hi everybody, this is Nick. Welcome to teaching series "how do you say this in American English".
Nick: Hello大家好我叫Nick
Brad:大家好，我是Brad. Hi everyone, my name is Brad.
Nick:今天呢還是我的老朋友Brad，我們今天來教大家另外一個非常應景的短語叫做這個Party非常high。這個high要怎么表達。其實要注意，這個high在這里是用了錯誤的，等會我會和大家詳細解釋為什么是錯的。對于這個Party非常熱鬧非常high的一個場景的表達，我們叫做Lit或者我們可以簡略它t的發音, The part lit. Hi, Brad, remember the party we went to last night?
Brad: Yeah!
Nick: That was awesome, that was impressive. Arona's party.
Brad: Don't say too much, man, do talk too much.
Nick: That was so impressive. So in that kind of situation, would you use the word "lit".
Brad: Yeah that was definite lit where the music is loud, everyone is around moving. Can I talk about when you would not use it yet?
Nick: Yeah, I'll talk about that later. 這個Brad剛剛說的是Lit在Party非常熱鬧非常high(注意:這個high還是錯的)的一個場景的時候還是用lit, "the party is lit". 為什么我們說這個high是錯誤的呢？Would you ever use the word "high" to describe a party?
Brad:No, "high" would be someone who's...
Nick: Who's like drugged, stoned?
Brad: Like marijuana, cocaine. If you are around cocaine in America, get out. You can get in a lot trouble.
Nick: Exactly, that's for sure. 那Brad剛剛就說這個high是用于stoned.順帶教大家一個短語stoned. 說吸完毒的感受 "are you stoned" 就是問你是不是剛吸過毒。這個時候呢才可以用high. High一般就是形容吸毒，你不要上來就說I'm high形容你非常的高興，或者是興奮到極點，這是不對的。在形容party的這一點上,我們可以用lit代替我們所謂的極度好,極度牛逼,非常令人印象深刻的party我們都可以叫lit. But there are something we have to be noticed, right? Like you can't use "lit", like in what kind of situation?
Brad: "Lit" you can almost go with a certain level of active. Like people moving around, as mentioned. It's lit. But if no one is moving. People are just sitting on a couch. Watching a television show. It's not lit. you are just hanging out.
Nick: So let's say I hit the bar with a couple of friends. We just drink beers and watch TV and talk with each other…
Brad: It's a good time but it's not lit
Nick: So you can't describe that situation as "it's lit"
Brad: It's a weird word to use for that.
Nick: Brad剛剛也和我們解釋了，其實我剛剛描述的一個情況就是在我們國內來說叫酒吧。這種酒吧，放著輕柔的音樂。你和朋友三三兩兩地去聊天，去玩，去玩桌游或者怎么樣都好。這種情況下就不能用lit, 其實用中文想想，這種情況下就是hanging out的一個場景，就是和朋友聊聊天，消磨時間，這種時候就不能用lit. Lit只能用在非常激動非常興奮的一個場合like a concert.
Brad: Yeah for sure, concerts are lit. Unless it's an orchestra. I mean love orchestra, I love piano but piano is never "lit".
Nick: I don't play piano, I mean I wish I could. 那Brad剛才還是解釋了一下，說在很classical的場合，是不能用這個lit. 因為還是像剛剛說的必須要在party非常high非常impressive的情況下才能用這個lit. 那以后大家去玩啊去一個party, 去一個極度有氣氛讓你非常的忘乎,所以你們就可以說This part is so lit.今天就是一個我們的主要內容.see you guys next time. Bye！
Brad: Bye, everyone！
