This video is one that I've been meaning to make for a long time.
There are a few really common mistakes that my students keep making.
我想做这个视频已经很久很久了。
我的学生们总是会犯一些非常常见的错误。
Obviously nobody is telling you so how else are you supposed to correct them?
I'm Emma from mmmEnglish and in this lesson, I'm going to share three really common grammar mistakes that you need to stop making so don't go anywhere.
很显然，没有人会告诉你，那你该如何纠正这些错误呢？
我是 Emma ，欢迎来到 Emma 的美味英语，在本节课程中，我将会分享三个大家需要规避的非常常见的语法错误，所以千万别走开哦。
. . . . . . I've been teaching English for many years now.
我已经教英语教了很多年了。我在线上教过，在线下教过，在很多不同的国家教过。
I've taught students online, in classrooms and in so many different countries around the world.
But there are some really common mistakes that I keep hearing my students make all the time.
但是有一些常见的错误，我经常听我的学生会犯。
它们其实并不是什么严重的错误，它们只是你很早的时候养成的错误，没有成功摆脱它们，我很好奇大家有没有也犯我在本节课程中说到的错误。
And they're not even bad mistakes, they're just bad habits that you've learned really early and you've just never gotten rid of and I'm really curious to find out if you make the mistakes that I'm sharing in this lesson too. It's really difficult. In fact, it's almost impossible to know what mistakes you're making if nobody tells you right?
其实是很难的。事实上，如果没有人告诉你的话，基本不太可能知道自己在犯什么错误是吧？所以大家都原谅了你，并不是你的错。
So you're completely forgiven, it's not your fault. It's just that nobody tells you that you've made a mistake.
只是没有人告诉你你犯错了。母语者会在脑海中想：不，他们是这个意思，但是他们不会告诉你的。
Native speakers just think in their head: 'No they mean that. ' but they never say anything to you. But it's all good, today we're going to sort all of this out.
但是没事的，今天我们会学习如何解决这个问题。最好的在第一时间发现你的错误的方式就是花时间和英语母语者老师待在一起，而不只是英语母语者。
Now one of the best ways to even realise that you've been making mistakes in the first place is to spend some time with a native English teacher, not a native English speaker. They're not going to correct these kinds of mistakes for you.
他们不会给你纠正这种错误。但是老师可以这么做，如果你在语言学校参加英语课程的话就比较简单了，是吧？
But a teacher can and this is really easy to do if you go to English classes at a language school, right? But then you've got to go all the way to those classes, do the classes, come home again.
但是然后呢你需要去参加课程，然后回家，循环往复。这非常浪费时间，强度那么大也很难做到。
It's really time-consuming and it's hard to do that intensively. Well this is exactly how I felt when I became a Lingoda student.
好的，在我成为Lingoda的学生之前我就是这么觉得的。我没有时间去语言学校，但是Lingoda就和去上语言学校一样，但是所有的课程都是在线的。
I just didn't have time to go to a language school but Lingoda really is just like going to a language school but all the classes are online.
I still get native teachers, I get workbooks with every lesson to help me prepare for classes and review them afterwards.
我仍然可以请到母语老师，每节课都有练习册帮助我预习课程和课后复习。我的水平也从A1升到了C2，得到了相应的证书。
I get certificates as I increase my skills from A1 to C2. I get to hang out with classmates but it's way more flexible.
我可以和同学们一起出去玩，但是更加灵活自由了。我不需要舟车劳顿，在哪里
都可以进行。
I don't have to travel, I can do it from anywhere. If you want to try Lingoda for yourself, you can grab a free trial from their website but they're offering mmmEnglish students twenty-five percent off their first package of lessons.
如果你想要试一下Lingoda的话，大家可以从官网上免费试用一下，但是他们会给美味英语的学生第一套课程百分之二十五的减免。所以如果你想要充分利用的话，那就使用描述区的链接和优惠券吧。
So if you want to make the most of that deal, then use the link that's in the description and this voucher code. Guys, Lingoda really is not that expensive.
同志们，Lingoda真的没那么昂贵的。我很确定他们的课程一般都是八欧元，是的，Lingoda是美味英语频道的赞助商，但我也是自己花钱上课的学生。
I'm pretty sure that their classes start from around eight euros and yes, Lingoda are a sponsor of the mmmEnglish Channel but I'm also a paying student of theirs myself.
So I can confidently tell you that studying with Lingoda is like going to a language school but I think it's even better because it's flexible and you can take your classes whenever it suits you.
所以我可以很有信心地告诉大家在Lingoda上学习和去语言学校一样，但是我觉得这更好一点，因为它更加灵活自由，你们可以上那些符合你们时间的课程。
好的，到时间解决这三个常见的错误了。
Okay, time to fix these three common mistakes. Number one.
第一个。这些单词都不是可以互换使用的，对吧？“有趣的”的“滑稽的”，它们都是常见的英语形容词，但是意思完全不一样。
These words are not interchangeable, right? 'Fun' and 'funny', they're both common English adjectives but they mean two quite different things. Seriously, they're really different.
真的，它们完全不同。当时使用“有趣的”作为形容词的时候，意思是非常令人愉悦、很令人开心。
When you use 'fun' as an adjective, it means enjoyable and entertaining. We use 'fun' to talk about situations and events and people and activities when they help us to have a good time.
我们使用“有趣的”来谈论那些让我们觉得开心的情境、事件、人和活动。所以“有趣的”的反义词是无聊的。
So the opposite of 'fun' would be boring, dull. Right?
对吧？但是“滑稽的”的意思非常不同，对吧？
But the meaning of 'funny' is very different, right? We use 'funny' as an adjective in two ways, most commonly to describe situations or even people that are humorous, alright?
我们会有两种使用“滑稽的”的方式，大多数情况下都是用来描述滑稽的情境或者是人，对吧？那些让我们捧腹大笑的人或者是情境。
People or situations that make us laugh. And the second meaning of funny is to describe something as a little weird or a bit strange, odd.
“滑稽的”的第二个意思是描述有点奇怪的东西。你可以说：保罗很滑稽！
So you could say: Paul is funny! But you could also say: Paul is funny. . .
但你也可以说：保罗很奇怪......就是有点点古怪。
Like a little weird. Now the problem that most of my students have is that they use 'funny' instead of 'fun'.
很多我的学生都会有的问题是他们会使用“滑稽的”而不是“有趣的”。记住，这两个形容词的意思是完全不同的。
Remember, the meaning of these two adjectives is completely different. Describing a party as fun means that I had a really good time, I enjoyed myself.
说一个派对很有趣意思是我真的玩得很开心。可能我在跳舞，可能我在玩棋类游戏，我并不感到无聊。
Maybe I was dancing, maybe I was playing board games I wasn't bored. Now if I describe a party as funny, then it means I laughed a lot.
如果我说派对很 “funny” 的话，那意思就是我经常捧腹大笑。可能特别滑稽的事情发生了，或者是这个派对很奇怪。
Maybe something happened that was really quite humorous or it means that the party was weird, strange. Maybe everyone wore an eye mask the whole time and you couldn't see anyone or anything that was going on.
可能大家一直都要戴着眼罩，你看不到任何人，也看不到发生了什么事情。太奇怪了！
That's weird! Alright I'm going to do a little quick test before we move on, 'fun' or 'funny'?
在我们继续之前，会有一个小测试，是 “fun” 还是 “funny” 呢？对吧？
Okay? I watched a movie last night that made me laugh a lot.
我昨天晚上看了一部让我捧腹大笑的电影。这是部喜剧。
It was a comedy. Right, comedy, funny, right? It made me laugh.
好的，滑稽的喜剧是吧？它让我捧腹大笑。好的，那描述你总是玩得很开心的朋友呢？这个朋友一直会想出有趣的游戏。
Okay what about to describe your friend who you always have a good time with, who's always inventing entertaining games. 'Fun' or 'funny'?
“Fun” 还是 “funny” 呢？你的朋友让你玩得很开心。
Your friend helps you to have a good time. It's 'fun', they're fun.
是 “fun” ，他们非常有趣。那描述你笑话讲得很好，总是让人开怀大笑的朋友呢。
Now describe your friend who always tells great jokes and makes people laugh. That person is funny.
那个人很搞笑。对吧？你懂了。再来一次。
Okay? You got it. One more. Last weekend I went out on my friend's boat.
上周我乘了我朋友的船。我们去游泳了，还去钓鱼了。
We went swimming. We went fishing. The weather was really, really good.
天气真的非常非常好。是 “fun” 还是 “funny” 呢？
Fun or funny? Sounds like an enjoyable day, right?
听起来像是非常令人愉悦的一天，对吧？应该是有趣的。
It was fun. So do you think that you can remember the meanings of these words to make sure that you don't sound funny or funny when you use them.
你觉得你可以记住这些单词的意思，确保你用的时候不会听起来很滑稽吧。试着在评论区造个句子，这样大家就可以练习正确使用这些单词，不会出错。
Try writing a sentence in the comments so that you can practise using them correctly and make sure you're not using it in the wrong way. Mistake number two.
第二个错误。苹果过于多汁了。
This apple is too juicy. Okay, 'too' can mean also.
好的，“too” 也有也的意思。“I like it too” 的意思就是我也喜欢。
'I like it too' means I also like it. But the mistake that I'm talking about when you use 'too' is to add emphasis.
但是我现在讨论的错误是你们用以强调的时候使用 “too” 的情况。觉得 “too” 和 “very” 、 “really” 是同义词的想法是错误的。
Now it's a mistake to think that 'too' is a synonym for very, really or so okay? 'Too' does add emphasis but it means excessive, a higher degree or amount than you actually want or you need, so it's a negative thing.
“Too” 确实可以进行强调，但是它的意思是太过了，比你想要的或者是需要的更多，所以这个单词是负面的。比你想要的更多。
It's more than what you want. So when I said that my apple was too juicy, that sounds negative like there is more juice than I really want or I like.
当我说我的苹果过于多汁的时候，听起来比我想要或者是喜欢的更多汁。我可以使用 very 、really，如果我想要让这个形容词语气更强的话。
So I could use very, really or so if I wanted to make that adjective stronger. So here, none of these words have a positive or a negative meaning.
在这里呢，这些单词都没有积极或者消极的意思。它们只是增强它们修饰的形容词的语气。
They're just there to give extra strength to the adjective that they modify. We can say that something is hot but really hot is even more hot or we can say that she's excited but we can say she's so excited, alright?
我们可以说某个东西很烫，但是 “really hot” 是更烫的意思，我们可以说她很激动，但是我们也可以说她超级激动，对吧？增强形容词的语气。
To increase the meaning of that adjective. Now I know what you're thinking, 'too' also means a lot.
我知道你们在想什么，“too” 也有很多的意思。但是它的意思是负面的。
But it has a negative meaning. So too much of something is a bad thing.
某件东西太多了并不好。“too hot” 的意思是比应该更热，或者是比我想的更热。
My tea is too hot, I can't drink it! So 'too hot' means that it's hotter than it was supposed to be or hotter than I want.
她太紧张了，所以开始惊慌失措。考试太难了，没有人通过。
She was too anxious, and she started to panic. The test was too difficult, none of the students passed.
我们说它太难了，意思是比应该的难度更难。应该更简单一点。
So we're saying it's too difficult means that it was more difficult than it should have been. It needed to be easier.
当然了，钱很多，或者是假期很多是件好事情，对吧？但是使用 “too” 我们在暗示这是件消极的事情，消极的方面。
Now surely having too much money or too much time off work is a good thing, right? But by using 'too' we're suggesting that there's a negative thing, a negative aspect.
太多休息的时间也可能表明你变懒了。太多钱，可能你就不关心身边的人了，对吧？
Too much time off work could mean that you're getting lazy. Too much money, maybe you don't care as much about the people around you, right?
使用“too” ，有一些非常重要的区别你需要注意，我在这个视频中详细地进行了讲解，所以如果大家想继续和我练习的话，就来这里吧！第三个错误。
Using 'too', it's an important difference that you need to recognise and I go into even more detail about using 'too' in this video right here so if you want to keep practising with me, that way! Mistake number three.
不要说自己“令人厌烦”。当你这么说的时候，意思是你没什么意思，你会让其他人觉得厌烦，你很无聊。
Don't call yourself boring. When you say that it means you're not interesting, that you make other people feel bored, that you're really quite dull.
你应该说的是“我感到无聊”。对吧？就是你的生活平平无奇，什么有趣的事情都没有。
What you should say instead is "I'm bored". Alright? When you've got nothing going on when there's nothing interesting happening around you.
这只是暂时的感觉。说你很无聊的话，你说的是你的性格，对吧？我们并不想这么做。
This is just a temporary feeling. By saying that you're boring, you're talking about your personality generally, right? We don't want to do that.
不要搞混了。英语学习者经常犯这个错误，不只是关于形容词“厌烦的”和“令人厌烦的”，是关于“-ed”或者是“-ing”形式的形容词。
Don't confuse this. It's a really common mistake that English learners make and it's not just about the adjective 'bored' and 'boring' but it's about any adjective that has an -ed and an -ing form.
它们之间有非常重要的不同。大体上来说呢，-ed结尾的形容词描述的是人们对于某件事情的感觉。我们也描述动物对某件事情的感觉。
There's a really important difference between them. So in general, -ed adjectives describe how people feel about something. We also describe how animals might feel about something.
但是-ing形式的形容词描述的是一件事情，或者是导致那种感觉的人。让我们一起看一下几个例子吧，来测试一下。
But -ing adjectives describe the thing or the person that causes that emotion. So let's go through a few examples together to test this.
我想要描述一种情况，能量满满，让我感觉超棒。这个情境是令人激动的，还是感到激动的呢？
I want to describe a situation that was full of energy and it made me feel great. Was the situation exciting or excited?
我不能说是感到激动的，因为一种情形是不会有什么感觉的。我想要描述我在令人害怕的情境中的感觉。
I can't say excited because a situation can't feel anything. Now I want to describe how I felt in a scary situation.
我感到 frightened 或者是 frightening。是我有这种感觉，对吧？
I felt frightened or I felt frightening. It was me who felt something, right?
我感到害怕。那种情境，就是我身边发生的事情是令人害怕的，但是我感到害怕。
I felt frightened. The situation, whatever was happening around me was frightening but I was frightened.
好的，在我们结束今天的课程之前，还有另一个。我想要描述对我而言很难的一个考试，好吗？
Okay one more before we wrap up today. I want to describe an exam that was difficult for me to take, okay?
考试是感到困惑的还是令人困惑的。应该是哪一个呢？
The exam was confused or confusing. Which one?
记住考试并没有什么感觉，所以应该是令人困惑的，对吧？令人困惑的考试让我感到困惑。
Remember that an exam can't feel things so it has to be confusing, right? The confusing exam made me feel confused.
如果这个对你而言有点难的话，不要担心，我有一整节关于-ed和-ing形式形容词的课程，就在这里，大家可以一会儿看一下。我想要知道，说实话，你有时候会犯这些错误吗？
If this is a little tricky for you, don't worry I've got a whole lesson on -ed and -ing adjectives right up there so you can check that out next. So I want to know and be honest, do you sometimes make these mistakes?
在评论区告诉我吧。我希望你在本节课程中学到了新的东西和有用的东西。
Tell me in the comments. I hope that you learned something new and something useful in this lesson today.
想要练习的话，我真的希望大家造个句子，证明你们已经看了并且清晰地理解了所讲的一切。为我今天谈到的这三个错误分别造一个句子吧，我一会儿就会过去检查的。
To practise, I really would love you to write a sentence to prove to me that you watched and understood everything clearly. Write one sentence for each of the three mistakes that I talked about today and I'm going to come down and check them out in a minute.
如果你有朋友在学习英语的话，你觉得他们能从这个视频中获益的话，那请分享给他们哦。这些错误真的是太常见了，但是我们需要帮助大家意识到这些错误。
Now if you've got a friend who's learning English and you think they could really benefit from watching this lesson, then please share it with them. These mistakes are so, so common but we just have to help each other to realise that.
不要感到尴尬，试着去解决它们，对吧？试着摆脱这些坏习惯。
Don't be embarrassed about it, just try and fix them, okay? Try and break these bad habits.
