Nick: Hi everybody, 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: 今天我們要講一個非常接地氣的網(wǎng)絡(luò)表達，叫做累成狗。意思就是說，非常非常累，累到極端。這里的"累"當然可以用其他形容詞代替，比如"冷成狗"，"熱成狗"等等，當然了，和狗本身沒有任何關(guān)系
Nick: Hey what's up Brad.
Brad: Not much. How is it going, Nick?
Nick: good good. It's just… I'm tired as fuck.
Brad: How? What did you do?
Nick: ah… I hit the gym yesterday. You know I haven't been working out for a freaking long time, like a month or so. After that, I was like tired as fuck. I was beat.
Brad: Happens to me too! I work out a lot and it's nice outside so I'm woke as fuck! Whenever I'm tired as fuck I just drink a lot of coffee, you know, caffeine? I pretty much live off coffee during the week
Nick: Yeah I feel you. I've been there before. But coffee is not my cup of tea, not my thing though.
Brad: Coffee isn't your cup of tea?
Nick: No it's not.
Brad: When you are using "as fuck" you do need to be careful when and where you use it. Not only is it informal but it's very inappropriate. With me it's totally fine since we're close friends and we've been in class together and pretty much the same age but I don't recommend using it in front of anyone older. Also in my eyes, it could be just mean, I'm sure a lot of people are gonna share this thing (or some) thoughts. But it's not really appropriate to curse in front of a woman-you are using "fuck", which is a very bad curse word. Even now we are in a pretty closed room but I'm always to check over my shoulder when I'm saying "fuck" because of this. So you don't really wanna say "fuck"
Nick: It's a swear word.
Brad: Yeah it's a swear word. I won't be saying fuck in Chinese like all the time. People will be like I'm weird
Nick: Apparently that's pretty informal.剛剛brad提醒我們，用這個短語的時候，千萬不要在正式場合用，因為這個短語很不正式。其實很好理解，你總不可能在正式場合說，你累成狗吧。對吧，那會鬧笑話的。而且在英語中"fuck"也是一個非常粗俗的一個詞。所以大家盡量在熟人之間使用，不要再女孩子或者是正式場合用，不太恰當。So this is pretty much it for this time. I'll see you guys next time, bye.
Brad: 再見
