This is friendly john。John can talk to any one，every one loves having him around .

約翰特別友好。約翰會和任何人說話，每個人都喜歡他在身邊。

and he ' s always the first person invited to a party because he ' s so friendly . but what other words can we use to describe him？

而且他總是第一個被邀請參加聚會的人。因為他人真的很好。但是我們還能用什么詞來形容他呢？

drop an adjective down in the comments，an adjective that you would use instead of friendly . I would say that John is quite charming .

在評論中使用形容詞，你將代替friendly的形容詞。(威廉莎士比亞，形容詞，形容詞，形容詞，形容詞，形容詞，形容詞，形容詞)我想說約翰相當有魅力。

charming . pay attention to that ch sound at the beginning of the word。

有魅力。請注意單詞開頭的那個CH音。

Charming . it ' s that big open mouth vowel，charming。

有魅力。大嘴的元音，很有魅力。

charming people can talk to any one and their conversation s are fun and interesting，it ' s so easy to talk to charming people . it ' s so

有魅力的人可以和任何人對話。他們的對話很有趣，有趣，很容易和有魅力的人溝通。和約翰說話很輕松。

he ' s charming . the structure that we ' re using here I

s really simple.

他很有魅力。我們在這里使用的結(jié)構(gòu)很簡單。

Subject, linking verb and adjective. He is charming.

主語、連接動詞和形容詞。他很有魅力。

But you can also say that John is a charming guy or a charming person. If he's so friendly and he's so charming then he's probably quite sociable.

但你也可以說，約翰是一個有魅力的人。如果他非常友好，非常有魅力，那么他可能很善于交際。

Hear the stressed syllable there? Sociable.

聽到重讀音節(jié)了嗎？善于交際的。

Sociable people love being around other people. They usually seek them out and they seem to thrive in conversations.

善于交際的人喜歡與他人相處。他們喜歡去人多的地方，他們可以在對話中侃侃而談。

John loves going to all the events and all the parties. He is sociable.

約翰喜歡去參加所有的活動和聚會。他很善于交際。

For natural pronunciation practice, let's use the contraction here and say he's sociable. Now because the two consonants are the same, the same sound, they merge together.

為了練習自然發(fā)音，那就讓我們在這里使用縮寫吧，直接說他善于交際。因為這兩個輔音是相同的，是同一個音，所以它們會合并在一起。

He is sociable becomes he's sociable. He's sociable.

He is sociable 變成了 he's sociable。他很善于交際。

And lastly, friendly people like John can be described as welcoming. Now for those of you who struggle with this sound really focus on that /w/ sound.

最后，像約翰這樣友好的人可以說是歡迎的。對于覺得發(fā)這個音很困難的人來說，要多加注意這個/w/音。

No teeth involved, no teeth touching. It's not/v/ bu t/w/.

不要碰到牙齒。不是/v/，而是/w/。

If you need to, get a little bit of air from deep down in your stomach and push that out to make the sound. Welcoming.

如果你需要的話，可以從胃部深處獲得一點空氣，然后把空氣推出去發(fā)出聲音。受人歡迎的。

Someone who's welcoming is going to make you feel like you belong there the moment you walk into the room. They make you feel accepted and happy.

好客的人在你走進房間的那一刻就會讓你覺得賓至如歸。他們會讓你感到被接受，感受到快樂。

He's so welcoming. The minute we walked into the room he came over to give us a big hug and a huge smile.

他非常熱情。我們一走進房間，他就走過來給我們一個大大的擁抱和一個巨大的微笑。

Meet Sally. She's fun.

認識一下莎莉吧。她很有意思。

Sally is the first one to get up to dance when the music plays. She loves travelling and going to different cafes and restaurants and if you're having a bad day, she'll usually have a joke or two up her sleeve to cheer you up.

音樂響起時，莎莉是第一個起身跳舞的人。她喜歡旅行，喜歡去不同的咖啡館和餐館，如果你今天心情不好的話，她會說上一兩個笑話讓你高興起來。

There are some great adjectives that you can use to describe people like Sally. If you can think of any, let me know down in the comments below.

有一些很好的形容詞以用來描述像莎莉這樣的人。如果你能想到什么的話，請在下面的評論中告訴我吧。

But my first one is chirpy. And there's that CH sound again.

我能想到的第一個詞是活潑的。還有 CH 這個音。

Chirpy. Notice specifically that that vowel sound in the stressed syllable is not a short sound, it's ER as in her.

活潑的。大家要特別注意，重讀音節(jié)中的元音不是短音，而是 her 中的 ER 音。

Chirpy not chippy or chirpy. Chirpy.

是 chirpy，而不是 chippy，也不是 chirpy?；顫姷?。

Try it. If someone's chirpy, they're really happy, they're lively, they're excited about the day ahead.

試一下。如果一個人很活潑的話，他們整天很開心，對未來的日子非常激動。

She looked so chirpy when she arrived at the office today! Now I'm using the verb looked here but it doesn't mean that it was the colour of her hair or clothes or her facial features that made her look chirpy.

她今天來到辦公室時，看起來非常精神抖擻！現(xiàn)在我在這里用的是動詞 look，但這并不意味著是她的頭發(fā)、衣服的顏色或面部特征使她看起來很有活力。

It just means that she's showing the qualities of someone who is happy and lively and that it comes across in this way. And we often use verbs like this when we don't know for sure about that personality.

這只是意味著她有快樂和活潑的品質(zhì)，而且是以這種方式表現(xiàn)出來的。而當我們對這種性格不確定的時候，我們經(jīng)常使用這樣的動詞。

You can tell what they're like by little small things, the things that they do and the way that they act. Another really great adjective to describe someone who's fun is to say that they're adventurous.

你可以從一些小事上看出他們是什么樣的人，比如說他們所做的事情和他們的行為方式。描述有趣的人的另一個很棒的形容詞是：他們很有冒險精神。

Listen to that stressed syllable, adventurous. So adventurous people are the ones who are always willing to try new and different things which makes life exciting and fun.

要好好聽重讀音節(jié)，很有冒險精神的。富有冒險精神的人是那些愿意嘗試新的和不同的事情的人，這會讓生活更加令人興奮，更加有意思。

We always have a good time when Sally organises our trips because she's quite adventurous. We do things that we wouldn't normally do.

當莎莉組織我們的旅行時，我們總是很開心，因為她很有冒險精神。我們會做一些我們通常不會做的事情。

The last adjective that I've chosen to describe someone who is fun is witty. Now I wonder if you've heard this adjective before.

我選擇的最后一個形容詞是妙趣橫生的，用來描述很有意思的人。我想知道你以前是否聽說過這個形容詞。

Witty. I'm sure you know someone who's quite witty, who is quick-witted.

妙趣橫生的我相信你肯定會認識妙趣橫生的人，非常地聰明機敏。

They're the people who are really quick to respond and they're really funny when they speak just instantly, they have great humorous calls. Sometimes we call it banter when you can have a really great conversation back and forth with someone.

他們反應(yīng)非?？?，他們說話真的很有趣，他們瞬間就能想到很有意思的事情。有時，當你與某人來回地進行非常精彩的對話時，我們稱之為“打趣”。

They're smart, they make you laugh, they're entertaining, you know they're really fun to talk to. Oh Sally? I love chatting with Sally.

他們很聰明，他們會讓你笑，他們可以把人給逗樂，和他們聊天很有意思。哦，莎莉嗎？我很喜歡和莎莉聊天。

She's so witty and entertaining. Meet kind Ella.

她總是很妙趣橫生，讓人很開心。認識一下非常友好的艾拉吧。

If you don't understand how something works, she'll happily take the time to explain it to you. She'll share her lunch with you, she'll help you out with some extra cash if you need it.

如果你不明白某些東西是怎么一回事的話，她會很樂意花時間向你解釋。她會和你分享她的午餐，如果你需要的話，她會為你提供一些額外的現(xiàn)金。

If you know someone like Ella, you can definitely say that this person is kind but another way to describe her is generous. Let's break that down a little.

如果你認識像艾拉這樣的人的話，你肯定可以說這個人很善良，但另一種描述她的方式是慷慨大方。讓我們把它分解一下。

That sound is the same consonant sound as at the start of jam or jump. Generous.

這個音與 jam 或 jump 開頭的輔音相同?？犊蠓降摹?/p>

Where's the stress? Which syllable has the stress?

重音在哪里？重音在哪個音節(jié)上？

Generous. Much stronger on the first syllable, right?

慷慨大方的。第一個音節(jié)是是更重的，對吧？

Generous people are usually happy to share their time or their energy or their money with you because they're quite giving. Ella seems like a really generous person.

慷慨的人通常很樂意與你分享他們的時間或精力或金錢，因為他們很有奉獻精神。艾拉看起來是一個非?？犊娜?。

She often brings biscuits and cakes into the office to share with everyone. Now I'm using a different verb there, aren't I?

她經(jīng)常把餅干和蛋糕帶到辦公室，與大家分享。我在這句使用了一個不同的動詞，對吧？

Seems, is, looks and seems are all linking verbs so they're words that give more information about the subject and in this context, seem has a really similar meaning to look. We're taking a guess or we're assuming something about the person because of the behaviour that we observe in them.

Seems, is, looks 和 seems 都是連接動詞，也就是提供關(guān)于主語的更多信息的詞，在這種情況下，seem 與 look 的意思非常相似。我們在進行猜測，或者因為我們在他們身上觀察到的行為而對這個人做出一些假設(shè)。

We're saying that the person has said or has done some things that make us feel like they are a certain way. It feels like they're that person, they seem like a generous person.

我們說，這個人說過或做過一些事情，讓我們感覺他們是這樣的人。感覺他們是那樣的一個人，他們似乎是一個慷慨的人。

Another great adjective is considerate. Where's the stress there?

另一個很棒的形容詞是體貼的。這里的重音在哪里呢？

And importantly, where is there not stress? Considerate.

重要的是，哪個音不重讀呢？體貼的。

It's a short vowel sound but the other ones drop back, we hear that schwa sound coming in again. Considerate.

這是一個短元音，但其他的元音是往后收的，我們又聽到了中元音。體貼的。

Considerate people show concern for others, they think about how a situation or something might affect someone else. Ella seems considerate.

體貼的人會表現(xiàn)出對他人的關(guān)心，他們會考慮到某種情況或某件事情可能會影響到其他人。艾拉看起來很體貼。

She often offers to drop her colleagues home from work when it's raining. Thoughtful is our last adjective here.

下雨時，她經(jīng)常主動提出送同事下班回家。周到的是我們可以使用的最后一個形容詞。

Listen to that vowel sound in the stressed syllable thoughtful like in door. Thoughtful.

聽聽 thoughtful 這個詞重讀音節(jié)中的元音，和 door 是一樣的。周到的。

Thoughtful people are always thinking about others around them, they're paying attention to them, they're thinking about what they might need or what they might want. Ella organised a party on my last day in the office.

周到的人總是在為身邊的人考慮，他們會關(guān)注別人，他們在思考別人可能需要什么或可能想要什么。艾拉在我離職前一天組織了一個聚會。

She is so thoughtful. This is Ray.

她非常周到。這是雷。

He's really understanding. When there's a disagreement between people, Ray is the person who can see both sides.

他真的很善解人意。當人們之間有分歧時，雷能看到雙方的意見。

He's the colleague or the manager who will give you a break if you've had a rough day. You could definitely describe him as compassionate.

作為同事和經(jīng)理，如果你今天不太好的話，他會讓你休息一下。你可以把他描述為有同情心的人。

Listen again for that stress, compassionate. And importantly, where there is less stress where you see those schwa sounds.

再聽一下重音，富有同情心的。重要的是，中元音的重讀是要減輕的。

Compassionate. Compassionate is similar to considerate where you're really thinking about the people around you and you're doing things to show them that you care or in Ray's case, that you understand their situation.

富有同情心的。同情心這個詞和體貼很類似，你會為周圍的人著想，你做的事情會向他們表明你很關(guān)心他們，或者在雷的例子中，你可以理解他們的處境。

There's a warmth and there's comfort that comes with being near to or surrounded by compassionate people. She had no chance of getting the job but Ray spent a long time explaining to her why she didn't get the job.

靠近或被富有同情心的人所包圍，會有一種溫暖和安慰的感覺。她沒有得到這份工作，但雷花了很長時間向她解釋為什么她沒有得到這份工作。

He's incredibly compassionate. Just like the word really, using the adverb incredibly before an adjective is gonna really lift your description up.

他真的好有同情心。就像“真的”這個詞一樣，在形容詞前使用副詞“難以置信地”會讓你的描述更加生動。

It's gonna emphasise that meaning of the adjective. He's incredibly compassionate.

它可以對形容詞的意思加以強調(diào)。他真的好有同情心。

Here's a great one. Empathetic.

這里有個很好的詞。有同情心的。

Nice one. Now I can hear you wondering, questioning in your head.

很好。我可以聽到你可能在想，在你的腦海中可能在質(zhì)疑。

Pathetic is a negative adjective right but empathetic is a positive one. Empathetic people they understand how someone else feels because they can imagine themselves in that same situation.

“可悲的”是一個負面的形容詞，但“有同情心的”是一個正面的形容詞。有同情心的人可以理解別人的感受，因為他們可以想象自己處于同樣的情況是什么樣子的。

They can put themselves in someone else's shoes, you know that idiom right? To put yourself in someone else's shoes.

他們能設(shè)身處地為別人著想，你知道這個俚語吧？設(shè)身處地為他人著想。

It's the perfect idiom for the adjective empathetic. Ray is a great person to talk to when you're going through a rough time.

這是形容詞富有同情心所對應(yīng)的的習語。當你經(jīng)歷艱難的時刻時，雷是一個很好的談話對象。

He's so empathetic. We're getting a little more serious here.

他非常具有同情心。我們開始變得有點嚴肅了。

We have diplomatic. Diplomatic.

我們有“圓通的”這個詞。圓通的。

Where's that stress? Diplomatic.

重音在哪里？圓通的。

People who are diplomatic can deal with others in a really sensitive way, in a way that doesn't upset them. Ray managed to create a peaceful resolution for both sides.

圓通得體的人能夠以非常敏感的方式與他人打交道，不會讓人感到不開心。雷設(shè)法為雙方創(chuàng)造了一個和平的解決方案。

He's really diplomatic. And again, I've just thrown an adverb in there to modify that adjective, it's a really great way to emphasise the meaning of the adjective.

他非常圓通得體。同樣地，我加了一個副詞來修飾形容詞，這是一個強調(diào)形容詞含義的好方法。

He's really diplomatic. He's incredibly compassionate.

他非常圓通得體。他非常具有同情心。

This is Mia. She's smart, she's the person you go to when you've got a problem that you need help solving.

這是米婭。她很聰明，當你遇到需要幫助解決的問題時，就可以去找她。

She's always wanting to learn more. She has lots of different ideas and goals and she's good at making decisions.

她總是想要學習更多。她有很多不同的想法和目標，她很會做決定。

Can you think of any other adjectives to describe Mia? Mia is astute.

你能想到其他形容詞來描述米婭嗎？米婭很聰明。

Astute. So that second syllable is the one that's stressed and in there we can hear a little /j/ sound that's been added.

精明的。第二個音節(jié)是重音，我們可以聽到加上了一個/j/的音。

Can you hear it? Astute.

你能聽到嗎？精明的。

That's in my accent and in most British English accents but you will hear some American accents pronouncing this word as astute. Now what is astute?

這是我的口音，也是大多數(shù)英國人的口音，但你會聽到一些美國口音的人把這個詞讀成 astute。精明的是什么意思？

What's an astute person? They're really good at judging situations and people quite quickly and they use their knowledge to benefit them in some way.

什么樣的人是精明的呢？他們很擅長對情況和人進行迅速的判斷，而且他們可以利用自己的知識在某種程度上對為自己服務(wù)。

If you know anyone who invested in Bitcoin early on, they're astute. They were paying attention and making good decisions early on.

如果你認識早期投資比特幣的人的話，他們真的是很聰明。他們在早期就注意到了這個機會，并做出了正確的決定。

She's also ambitious. Notice that t-i-o-u-s at the end is pronounced /??s/.

她也很有野心。末尾的 t-i-o-u-s 發(fā)的是/??s/的音。

Ambitious. That middle syllable is the stressed one.

有野心的。中間的音節(jié)是重讀的。

Ambitious people are really determined to succeed. They're driven to reach their goals.

有野心的人決心要成功。他們有動力去實現(xiàn)自己的目標。

Mia's actually determined to be CEO of the company. She's a really ambitious woman.

米婭下定決心要成為公司的CEO。她是一個很有野心的女人。

Here's another great adjective. Resourceful.

還有一個很好的形容詞。足智多謀的。

Notice that Z sound? Resourceful not resource-ful but resourceful.

注意到了 Z 這個音嗎？讀音是/r??z??sf?l/。

Resourceful. Resourceful people are able to use whatever they have at the time to solve problems or to reach their goals so clever people, smart people are often quite resourceful and as we know, Mia is quite a resourceful person.

足智多謀的。足智多謀的人能夠利用他們當時擁有的東西來解決問題或達到他們的目標，所以聰明的人往往非常足智多謀，正如我們所知的，米婭是一個非常足智多謀的人。

The projector wasn't working during her presentation so she printed out copies quickly and gave them to everyone. She's very resourceful.

在她的演講過程中，投影儀不運轉(zhuǎn)了，所以她迅速打印了副本并分發(fā)給大家。她非常有辦法。

She solves problems quickly. This structure, one that we mentioned earlier actually, Mia is a resourceful person, is slightly more formal.

她能迅速解決問題。這個結(jié)構(gòu)其實我們之前提到過，米婭是一個足智多謀的人這個表達會稍微正式一些。

It's still really frequently used, it sounds natural but it's probably a little bit more professional than just saying she's resourceful. Mia's resourceful.

這句話真的經(jīng)常用，聽起來很自然，但可能比直接說她足智多謀更專業(yè)一點。米婭非常足智多謀。

She's quite a resourceful person. Just a little bit more professional.

她是一個非常有頭腦的人。會更專業(yè)一點。

And this is Sam. He's hard working.

這是山姆。他工作很努力。

He completes his tasks on time, he produces high-quality work. He stays late when he needs to and he takes charge of projects to make sure that they get done, he puts all of his effort into his work.

他按時完成任務(wù)，工作質(zhì)量很高。他在需要的時候會待到很晚，他負責的項目會確保項目完成，他把所有的精力都放在了工作上。

Now there are some really great adjectives to describe someone like Sam. We would say he's quite organised.

有一些很好的形容詞來描述像山姆這樣的人。我們會說他很有組織性。

Listening for the stress. Organised.

聽一下重音。很有組織性的。

Now think of someone in your life who is quite organised. These people make lists, they keep a diary of all of their deadlines.

想想你生活中很有組織性的人。這些人會列出清單，他們會寫下所有的最后期限。

They're always on time, everything is neatly arranged and in order. He looks like an organised person, all of his files are colour-coded.

他們總是很準時，一切都安排得整整齊齊，井然有序。他看起來是個很有組織的人，他所有的文件都是用顏色編碼的。

So again, this structure is a little longer, it's just as effective and has the same meaning as she looks organised. It's just a little more formal right?

同樣地，這個結(jié)構(gòu)有點長，不過同樣有效，而且和“她看起來有組織性”有相同的含義。它只是更正式一點，對嗎？

He looks like an organised man. He looks like an organised person.

他看起來是一個有組織的人。他看起來是一個有組織的人。

Hard-working people are often quite reliable. Hear that little short tiny little schwa sound in there?

努力工作的人一般都很可靠。聽見那里的中元音了嗎？

Reliable. No matter what happens, you can always rely on someone who is reliable, you can count on them, you can depend on them.

可靠的。無論發(fā)生什么事，你總是可以依靠一個可靠的人，你可以指望他們，你可以依賴他們。

They'll always make sure that they are there when they need to be, that they do what they need to do. So if you have a really urgent project to finish then you definitely want someone reliable, someone like Sam.

他們會確保在需要的時候出現(xiàn)，做他們需要做的事情。如果你有一個非常緊急的項目需要完成，那么你肯定想要一個可靠的人，一個像山姆這樣的人。

Sam looks like a reliable person. And one of my absolute favourite qualities in my team, efficient people.

山姆看起來是個可靠的人。還有我的團隊中我喜歡的品質(zhì)之一，那就是高效的。

Efficient. So that C actually makes a SH sound like ship.

高效的。C 發(fā)的是 SH 音，聽起來是 ship 是一樣的。

Efficient. You hear that short vowel sound unstressed in the first syllable.

高效的。你聽到第一個音節(jié)中的短元音不重讀。

Efficient. And you hear that schwa sound in the third syllable.

高效的。在第三個音節(jié)中可以聽到中元音。

When you're efficient, you complete your tasks on time, you complete your projects quickly and accurately. Sam looks like he's quite efficient, he always finishes his work ahead of time.

如果你很高效的話，你會按時完成你的任務(wù)，你會快速準確地完成你的項目。薩姆看起來相當有效率，他總是提前完成他的工作。
