露西的一天 第107期:準(zhǔn)備上床睡覺(jué)講解(3)
To tie, "tie," something is to create -usually to create a little knot, "knot," 系東西是進(jìn)行手工創(chuàng)造——通常情況下是打個(gè)“結(jié)”，
which is when you take a piece of rope or string and you move it in such a way 你可以拿一個(gè)繩或者線，來(lái)回穿梭，
that it creates almost like a little lock, and we call that a knot. 做成類似于小鎖的東西，我們稱之為結(jié)。
For example, when you are tying your shoes, you take the little strings in your shoes, such as tennis shoes 舉個(gè)例子，你在系鞋帶時(shí)，把一些小繩穿在你的鞋里，如網(wǎng)球鞋，
we called those strings shoelaces - and you tie knots in them so that they're tight. 那些繩子我們叫作鞋帶——你在鞋帶上打個(gè)繩結(jié)，這樣他們就緊了。
So, you tie a knot to keep a rope tight to keep it from becoming loose. 所以，打結(jié)就是讓繩子緊一些以防松動(dòng)。
In the story, Lucy says that she ties her hair back, which means she takes her hair, 這個(gè)故事中，露西說(shuō)她把頭發(fā)系在后面，這意味著她要把她的頭發(fā)拿起來(lái)，
and because she has long hair, she takes her hair and she puts it toward the back of her head, 因?yàn)樗念^發(fā)長(zhǎng)，所以她把頭發(fā)放到腦后，
and then she puts something around it to keep it there so it doesn't go back onto her face. This is tying it back. 然后用東西系起來(lái)，這樣，頭發(fā)就會(huì)留在那，不會(huì)沾到臉上。這就是把它系在后面。
Lucy says that she doesn't "like getting hair in" her "face," and that is why she ties her hair back. 露西說(shuō)她不喜歡把頭發(fā)粘在臉上，所以把頭發(fā)系在后面。
Then she flosses and brushes her teeth, and is now "ready for bed. 然后她用牙線刷牙，準(zhǔn)備好睡覺(jué)了。
By this time," she says," I am pretty beat," "beat." When you say you are pretty beat, you mean you are very tired. 這時(shí)，她說(shuō)，“我非常累” 當(dāng)你說(shuō)你很疲憊，意思是你很累。
Lucy goes into her bedroom and she gets undressed. To undress is the opposite of to dress. 露西進(jìn)入臥室，脫掉衣服。脫衣和穿衣相反。
To dress means to put clothes on you, so to undress means to take your clothes off. 一個(gè)是指穿上衣服，另一個(gè)則是把它們脫掉。
To get undressed means to undress yourself - to take your clothes off. 因此，脫衣就是自己脫掉衣服——把衣服脫下來(lái)。
