Hi. Welcome again to www.engvid.com. I'm Adam.
欢迎来到英格威英语学习网。我是亚当。
Today, we're going to look at some vocabulary that gets students confused,
今天我们来看一些让学生们感到困惑的词汇，
because the words are so similar that people don't know what to do with them.
因为这些词汇太相似了，人们不知道怎么用它们。
Let's look at these words. First, listen carefully to how I say them.
我们来看看这些词。首先，仔细听听我是怎么讲述它们的。
As a verb: "live". Of course, the noun is: "life". The adjective: "live".
作为动词：“活着”。当然，名词形式是“life”。形容词是“live”。
Verb: "live"; adjective: "live"; adjective, a different adjective: "alive"; a noun: "living"; an adjective: "living"; a gerund: "living".
动词：“live”；形容词：“live”，形容词，一个不同的形容词：“alive”；一个名词：“living”，一个形容词：“living”；动名词：“living”。
Okay, so here are your words. Now, people will often say: "What's the different between 'live' and 'alive', or 'live' and 'alive'?" Okay, so let's look at all of these.
这些就是今天要学的单词。人们常说：“live和alive的区别是什么，或者live和alive的区别是什么？”我们来学学这些单词。
First of all, what does it mean to live? So I'll add this here. "To live".
首先，活着是什么意思？我把它写在这里了。“to live”。
Basically, "to live" means to not be dead. Very simply put. Right?
基本上，“to live”意味着没死。很简单的说法。
To live means to eat, to drink, to breathe, to go to a club and dance, to sing.
活着就是去吃，去喝，去呼吸，去去俱乐部跳舞，去唱歌。
Whatever you think is living. For example, you go to work, you make money, that is your life.
无论你怎么想都是活着。例如，你去工作，你赚钱，这就是你的生活。
You live your life to help your family or your friends, or your community. Okay?
你活着是为了帮助你的家人、朋友或社区。
"Life" is everything, everything that we do. From the minute you wake up to the minute you go to sleep.
生活就是一切，就是我们做的任何事情。从你醒来到你睡着的时间。
Well, even in your sleep, it's still life. Right? You're still living.
甚至在你的睡眠中，它也是生活。你还活着。
So, from the minute you're born to the minute you die, that's life.
从你出生那一刻到你死亡那一刻，这就是生活。
Now, "live" is completely different from "live". "Live", when we say something is live, we mean at the same time and usually in person.
live和live意思是完全不同的。“live”，当我们说某事是非录制时，我们指的是同时进行，通常也是当面。
For example, you go to a concert, a music concert, you're seeing the band perform live, in front of you, at the same time.
比如，你去了一个音乐会，你看到乐队在你面前现场表演，同时进行。
Anything else, if you listen to music on your iPod, or MP3 player, or your phone, then you are listening to a recorded performance.
其他的情况，如果你在你的音乐播放器或手机上面听歌，你听的是录制的表演。
You're listening to recorded music. If you're at the stadium and you're seeing the band on the guitars, and drums, and whatever, you're seeing it live.
你听的是录制的音乐。如果你在一个场馆里，你看到乐队弹着吉他，打着鼓，等等。你看的就是现场演出。
Now, if you're on Skype and you're speaking to someone on the other side of the planet.
如果你用Skype和地球另一端的人通话，
Is this conversation happening live? Yes, because you're doing it at the same time.
这个对话是实时的吗？是的，因为你同时在说。
But if you record your video message, send it to your friend by email, he or she opens it and sees the video, then it's not live.
但如果你录制了视频信息，通过电子邮件发送给你的朋友，他或她打开它并看到视频，那么它就不是实时的。
Then it's a recording. "Alive". "Alive" is the state of living, of being not dead again. Right?
那就是录音了。“活着”。“活着”是活着的状态，是不死的状态。对吧？
Usually it's a feeling, it's an adjective. It talks about a feeling or a state of being.
通常它是一种感觉，它是一个形容词。它谈论的是一种感觉或者一种存在状态。
I'll give you an example in a second. Now, "living" has many uses. Oh, I forgot to add one here.
我很快会给你一个例子。“living”有很多用法。我忘了在这里加上一个了。
We'll start with the verb. As a verb, it is basically the continuous form of "to live".
我们来以动词开始。作为一个动词，它基本上是“活着”的进行时。
For example, in the present perfect, continuous: "I have been living in my apartment building for three months."
例如，在现在完成进行时中：“我已经在我的公寓里住了三个月了。”
It means three months I started... Three months ago, I started to live there, and I still live there now.
这意味着我开始的三个月...三个月前，我开始住在那里，现在我仍然住在那里。
The continuous. As a gerund. We can use "living" as a gerund. "Living with cancer is a very bad way to live." Basically.
进行时。作为动名词。我们可以用“living”作动名词。“患有癌症是一种非常糟糕的生活方式。”基本上。
"Living with cancer is very difficult." So, again... Let me just write this out, because you might not know this.
“身患癌症生活是非常困难的。”所以，再一次...我把它写出来，因为你们可能不知道。
A gerund is the "ing" form of a verb, but we use it like a noun. Okay?
动名词是动词的“ing”形式，但我们把它当作名词使用。好吧？
"Living in Canada is sometimes difficult because it's so cold, but other times, it's nice."
“在加拿大生活有时很困难，因为太冷了，但其他时候，很好。”
As an adjective. We use "living" as an adjective to talk about something that is alive. Right?
作为一个形容词。我们用“living”作为一个形容词来谈论某个活着的东西。
So, for example, a living creature. Any living creature is anything that can die.
比如，一个活着的生物。任何生物都是会死的生物。
A rock is a nonliving creature. This marker is a nonliving creature. I am a living creature.
石头是非生物。这只马克笔是非生物。我是一个活着的生物。
I hope you are living creatures, too. We can also use "living" to describe somebody's state.
我希望你也是一个活着的生物。我们可以用“living”来描述某人的状态。
For example: "A living legend." When we talk about a person and we call him or her a legend,
比如：“一个活着的传奇。”当我们谈论一个人时，我们称他或她为传奇人物，
it means they're very famous, and their story is very long, and everybody knows it.
这意味着他们非常有名，他们的故事很长，每个人都知道。
And if we say: "A living legend", then this person is still alive today.
如果我们说：“一个活着的传奇”，那么这个人今天仍然活着。
So, for example, some people think that Nelson Mandela is a legend, what he did in South Africa.
例如，有些人认为纳尔逊·曼德拉是一个传奇，他在南非的所作所为。
So he is a living legend. We can learn from him directly. Good. This one may be a little bit surprising: "living" as a noun.
所以他是一个活着的传奇。我们可以直接向他学习。好。这个词可能有点让人吃惊：“living”作为名词。
We say: "You make a living." Notice the article "a". What does it mean if you're making a living?
我们说：“你在谋生”。注意冠词“a”。如果你要谋生，这是什么意思。
"Living" here means income. Every day, you go to work, you work hard, you get a paycheque to take home to your family.
“living”在这里意思是收入。每天，你去上班，努力做事，你可以把薪水带回家给家人。
You are making a living. Great. So, now we know what all of these words mean. Let me give you some example sentences.
你在谋生。很好。我们知道所有这些词的意思。我来给大家看一些例句。
"To live". Okay? "It is important to live life to the fullest." Basically means live every day like there is no tomorrow.
“to live”。好吧？充实地生活是很重要的。基本上就是每天活的就像没有明天一样。
Sing, laugh, love, dance, shout to the skies if that's what works for you. Right?
唱歌，欢笑，爱，跳舞，如果对你有用的话，朝着天空大喊。
But live life every day like it's your last; enjoy it. Life: "Life is very mysterious."
都是把每天活成你的最后一天。享受它。生活：“生活是非常神秘的。”
I can't explain it to you, but I think you understand. Life is very mysterious.
我无法向你解释，但是我觉得你理解。生活是非常神秘的。
All kinds of strange things happen in it; some good, some bad, some neutral, maybe.
各种奇怪的事情都会发生，有些是好事，有些是坏事，或许有些不好不坏。
Live: "The best live performance I have ever seen was Pink Floyd." I saw them at the Exhibition Centre in downtown Toronto.
现场：“我看过的最好的现场是平克·弗洛伊德的现场。我在多伦多市中心的展览中心看到了他们演出。
Best live performance I have ever seen. Think about what was the best live performance you have ever seen. Alive.
我看过的最好的现场演出。想想你看过的最好的现场演出。活着的。
Now, personally... Again, I'm from Toronto, Canada. Winter is coming now, it's very, very cold.
就我个人来说，再说一次，我来自加拿大的多伦多。冬天来了，非常非常冷。
And I think: when do I feel the most alive? When I'm sitting on a beach somewhere,
我想:什么时候我觉得自己最有活力？当我坐在沙滩上，
under sunshine, I hear the waves coming, I'm drinking a nice little cocktail with a fruit in it.
在阳光下，我听到海浪袭来，我喝着一杯美味的水果鸡尾酒。
That makes me feel alive. Winter, not so much. Living. "I'm an English teacher.
这让我感觉到活着。冬天，不太行。生计。“我是一个英语老师。
That is how I make my living." We already spoke about Nelson Mandela, he's a living legend.
这就是我谋生的方式。”我们已经谈论过纳尔逊·曼德拉，他是一个活着的传奇。
I told you: "Living with cancer or living with any disease is very terrible, really."
我告诉过你：“身患癌症或者身患任何疾病活着都是很糟糕的，真的。”
I shouldn't use it as an example, but it is one. And: "I don't necessarily enjoy living in Canada in the winter, because it's so cold."
我不该把它当作一个例子，但是它算是一个。“我并不喜欢冬天住在加拿大，因为那里太冷了。”
But there you have it. That's how you do it. Okay, if you're not sure about what these words mean,
但现在你知道了。你就是这么做的。好吧，如果你不确定这些词的意思，
