Hello everyone and welcome to Xiaoming English
大家好，歡迎來到小明英語

很高興可以見到大家

我們現(xiàn)在就開始課程吧

So the first section of today’s class is called Hello Slang
今天課程的第一部分是“你好俚語”

and the slang for today is “sketch”, which is also used as “sketchy”
今天的俚語是“Sketch”，或者也可以說“Sketchy”

它們的意思就是不靠譜

它們?cè)趺磿?huì)有這個(gè)意思

Sketch本來就是畫畫的意思，做出來一個(gè)草圖

Calling something sketch is saying that it was done very quickly, it’s not

complete
說一件事是Sketch是指這件事做得非常倉促，沒有完成

So as a slang, it means something is not working, or doesn’t look very good.
所以用作俚語時(shí)，它的意思是不工作，或者看起來很不行

Like you know也可以說不靠譜

Let’s try using them in a sentence
讓我們?cè)囋囋谝粋€(gè)句子中用一下這個(gè)俚語

For example, if I’m on the computer
舉個(gè)例子，如果我在用電腦

在電腦上面，查查一個(gè)東西，找一個(gè)網(wǎng)站

然后那個(gè)網(wǎng)站（有）不靠譜的感覺
