Nick: Hi everybody, this is Nick. Welcome to teaching series "how do you say this in American English."大家好，我是Nick. 因為這個禮拜brad和我都休假，所以大家暫時聽不到brad聲音。但是我想啊，我特別舍不得大家，所以還是堅持錄這個節目。
今天我們要講的表達是，腦子短路。腦子短路在中文是一個很幽默的表達。分場合，正式場合不太用，但是在朋友說話的時候，顯得非常幽默。就是說你一時記不起來某件事情，某件東西。比如你在跟朋友談到學英語，你覺得有一個節目非常好，但是你就是記不起來名字。后來記起來了，哦原來是美語怎么說這個節目。那我們假設我們有個好朋友叫jack，和你聊天，他說 "hey Nick, how is it going?" 然后你回答說，"good, just a little bit busy. I've been learning English". 然后他說"Oh wow. That's good. How?"然后你回答說 "I subscribed a teaching series called...called what..uh" 然后你拼命搖頭，你記不起來"um...called what." 然后你拼命搖頭。對吧，你記不起來 "sorry, I can't really remember that". 你朋友就說， "Is it 'how do you say this in American English?'" 然后你恍然大悟, "Oh! That's it! It was a brain fart, sorry!" 就是說腦子短路了，一下子沒想起來.
或者你也可以用來犯了一件低級錯誤。比如你明明拿著手機，卻滿世界找手機。你明明拿著眼鏡，卻滿世界找眼鏡。有時候會發生在我身上。這時候你的朋友jack又出現了，問，"Hey Nick. What are you doing? What are you looking for?" 然后你說"I'm looking for my phone, I thought I had it with me. I mean it's just. I don't know it's weird. I need to call my friend."然后Jack說 "Oh what? Wait, Your phone? You are holding it! Man!" 然后你發現，咦，我真的在拿著誒。然后你滿臉通紅的說，"oh! It was a brain fart, brom I'm sorry"說是一個腦子短路了剛剛，記不起來。這就是一個腦子短路的用法。一時記不起來某件事情或者犯了很低級的錯誤。
So this is pretty much for today's class. I'll see you guys next time.
