【发音技巧】kind of连读；lean in连读；have a连读；

【翻译】通常来说，当有人说：“我有个计划”的时候，大家就应该前倾凑过来的。

今天节目中，我们来学习一下这里lean in的用法；

来看两条不同的英文解释：

When you lean in a particular direction, you bend your body in that direction.

或者

to bend or incline closer to the interior or central point of something, such as a structure, classroom, group of people, etc.

这个短语可以理解成：“身体前倾；向前一步”的意思；短语中的介词in也可以换成forward，变成lean forward；

eg: I had to lean in to hear what the professor was saying.

我不得不身体前倾才能听到教授在说什么。

eg: We all leaned in to look at the specimen in the tank.

我们都向前凑在一起看箱子里的标本。

eg: Water damage has caused the wall in our living room to start leaning in.

eg: She leaned forward and whispered something in my ear.

她身体前倾，在我耳边低声说了些事情。

eg: The north wall of the barn leans in a little. Is it going to fall?

这个谷仓的北墙有点向内倾斜了，会塌吗？

lean in还可以用来表示：“按压；挤压”的意思；

to incline or press into something；当这个用法的时候，lean in也可以换成lean into；

eg: You have to lean into the wind when you walk or you will be blown over.

你走路的时候得顶着风走，不然你就会被吹倒的。
