Yes, we got a really good question about this age-old debate and when you are asked "how are you?' Do you say I'm good. I'm well, do you say something else？
是的，关于这场由来已久的辩论，我们有一个非常好的问题，当你被问到“How are you？”你会说“ I'm good” ”I'm well”或者其他的什么？
And you're gonna see we're gonna read this question and then I'll share away I didn't feel like Lindsey and I could answer this on our own.
你们会看到，我们会读到这个问题，然后我会分享我的感受，我觉得林赛和我自己无法回答这个问题。
I needed to get, you know, advice, get insight from people from other English speaking countries.
我需要，你知道的，建议，从其他英语国家的人那里获得灵感。
Yeah, I am so excited you guys know that here on All Ears English, we primarily teach American English, but it's just one of the Englishs, out there.

I've heard someone use that term before world Englishes right? It's one of the versions yeah, one of the versions of English in the world.

But first, the question, shall I read the question? All right so, Paola says hello, girls! Firstly thank you for your podcast. I love it very much. Well, that is amazing, Paola, thank you so, Paula.
但首先，问题是，我应该读出问题吗？好了，宝拉向你们问好，姑娘们！首先，感谢您的播客。我非常喜欢它。太棒了，宝拉，谢谢你，宝拉。
Yes, I'm Italian with friends from the US and the UK, so in the US I learn to say I'm good about my feeling and I'm well about my health.
是的，我是意大利人，有来自美国和英国的朋友，所以在美国我学会了说“I'm good”来表达感受，“ I'm well ”表示我的健康状况良好。
In the UK, when I answer I'm good, they start to laugh, telling me yes, yes, I know you are good. joking that when I say good I mean beautiful. That's what I learned. Thank you, Paola.
在英国，当我回答“I'm good”，他们开始笑起来，告诉我是的，是的，我知道你很好。开玩笑说，当我说“I'm good”，我的意思是很美。这就是我所学到的。谢谢你，宝拉。
So there's some confusion from Paola about when whether or not to say good or well and what it means, right? Big question and I immediately reached out to friends from England from Ireland around the world because I hadn't heard this.That good would maybe mean beautiful and I figured you wouldn't know either.
所以宝拉对什么时候说“good”与“well”，并且对其中的意思的意思有些困惑，对吗？这是个大问题，我立刻联系了来自爱尔兰的朋友，因为我还没有听说过“good”意味着美丽，我想你也不会知道。
I'm like we need some insight about， is this British slang? What's going on? So we have answers today, guys from around the world and I'm excited to share them with you.
我想我们需要了解一下，这是英国俚语吗？到底怎么回事？我们今天有了答案，来自世界各地的伙计们，我很高兴能与你们分享它们。
Wow, coming to you in all ears English from the global English, right? I love it, so good, but there is an episode that our listeners could check out right? Yes, we want to share with you.
哇，在All Ears English 学习全球英语，对吗？我喜欢，太好了，但是有一集我们的听众可以去查看，对吗？是的，我们想和你分享。
You and Michelle Lindsay did a great episode about Good versus well in American English. Yes 1047 so you can find that on our blog in our archives called I'm Good Versus I'm well.
你和米歇尔·林赛用美式英语做了一集关于“good”与“well”。是的，1174，所以你可以在我们的博客上找到这句话，标题是“I'm Good Versus I'm Well”。
But this focuses a little bit on American English and why you know both are fine or just kind of the internet's a deep dive into how this works in the US.
但这篇文章的重点是美式英语，以及为什么你知道这两种英语都可以，或者只是在互联网上深入探讨一下这在美国是如何使用的。
Yeah, but today we're going global, so guys hit that follow button, go to 1047, listen to the episode and then hit follow on all ears English, so I want to know what you found out from different friends around the world.
是的，但今天我们要走向全球，所以大家点击关注按钮，转到1047，收听这一集，然后点击关注，所以我想知道你们从世界各地的朋友那里学到了什么。
For example, a British person.
例如，一个英国人。
Let me know， first of all what I texted them because... what did you ask them exactly? Yeah, I asked first of all when someone says how are you, what do you say? And if someone answers I'm good, what do you think? Are you like rolling your eyes like Americans and their bad grammar or is it fine? And I wanted to know this? My British friends I asked would that mean I'm beautiful if someone says I'm good.
我给他们发了什么短信，因为...你到底问了他们什么？是的，我首先问的是，当有人问候你时，你会说什么？如果有人回答我很好，你会怎么想？你是会像美国人那样对他们他们糟糕的语法翻白眼，还是还好？我想知道这件事。我问我的英国朋友，如果有人说“ I'm good.”，那是不是意味着我很漂亮？
Answers to all of those questions. Wow okay, so should I go ahead and read claire's answer first? All right, so again you asked about the good vs. well, here's the answer. British hair is British.
所有这些问题的答案。哇，好吧，那我是不是应该先读一下克莱尔的答案？好的，你又一次问到了good vs. well，这是答案。英国人版本。
I'm not going to use the British accent, but... no, don't. All right.
我不会用英国口音...不，不要。
No English people no, her answer is no English people don't say I'm good, they respond "very well. Thanks, how are you" or "I'm fine. Thank you", but it depends on who's asking too.
没有英国人,没有，她的回答是没有英国人说“I'm good”，他们的回答是very well. Thanks, how are you" 或者"I'm fine. Thank you",但这取决于是谁在问。
If they say I'm good it means they're well behaved.
如果他们说“I'm good”，那就意味着他们表现得很好。
British generally understand when Americans say that they don't think dumb Americans. okay, well, that makes me feel better. exactly.
英国人一般都能理解美国人的意思，所以不会觉得他们很蠢。好吧，是的，这让我感觉好多了。一点儿没错。
And she didn't respond about the beautiful thing, but my other friend Joe did so.
她没有对这件“美丽”的意思进行解释，但我的另一个朋友乔解释了。
This is a second person from England and he said they would not mean beautiful if they're joking and saying "yeah, I know you're good."
这是第二个来自英格兰的人，他说，如果他们开玩笑地说“yeah, I know you're good.”，他们意思就不是漂亮。
They would be teasing that you're saying I'm good at something or I'm well behaved.
他们会取笑你说我擅长某件事，或者我很守规矩。
So when I looked back at paola's question I think she assumed they meant you're good like you're beautiful.
所以当我回头看宝拉的问题时，我想她认为他们的意思是你很好，就像你很漂亮一样。
They might not have meant that they might have meant like, oh, you're good at something, you're well behaved.
他们可能并不意味着，哦，你擅长某件事，你表现得很好。
They were definitely teasing her that if you're saying I'm good, it doesn't mean, you know, it means something different, but it's not necessarily beautiful.
他们肯定是在戏弄她，如果你说“I'm good”，这并不意味着，你知道，这意味着不同的东西，但不一定是美丽的意思。
Okay, so it sounds like in British English it's kind of a hanging idea. If we say I'm good, it's like you're well behaved.You're good at what, right? What are we talking about? exactly. So it's kind of incomplete.
好的，在英式英语中，这听起来像是一个悬而未决的想法。如果我们说“I'm good”，就好像你表现得很好。你擅长什么，对吧？我们在说什么呢？一点儿没错。所以它是一种不完整的东西。
It's not so much that it's like, they see it as bad grammar. It's just it's incomplete. What.
与其说是这样，不如说他们认为这是糟糕的语法。只是它还不完整。
Yeah, so it's good to know in England based on these responses, you probably shouldn't say I'm good when someone asks you how are you? There are better options. Stay to the end of the episode.
是的，所以根据这些回答，在英国知道这一点是件好事，当有人问你“How are you？” 你可能不应该说“I'm good”。还有更好的选择。我们放在了结尾。
We are going to give you some pro tips about things you can always say to be understood around the world ooh global English, I love it all right.
我们将给你一些专业的小贴士，让你的英语可以被世界各地的人都理解，全球英语，我喜欢。
So then you talk to Orla who is also in our B2 fluency course so you can hear more from Orla in that course exactly she is from Ireland. I interviewed her 4 RB2 course.
然后你和奥拉交谈，她也是我们B2流利课程的学员，所以你可以在课程中听到更多关于奥拉的信息，确切地说，她来自爱尔兰。我采访了她的4RB2课程。
Amazing yeah, and here's what she said do you want to read at Lindsey? Oh sure.
太棒了，是的，她是这么说的，你想读吗？哦当然。
So, Orlaw says in Ireland typically, if asked how are you? We would say I'm grand or I'm doing well with more American influence coming into Ireland from social media.
所以，奥洛通常会在爱尔兰回答，如果被问到“How are you” 我们会说“ I'm grand ”，或者 “ I'm doing well”，受社交媒体影响，爱尔兰也受到美式英语影响。
I hear "good good yeah, how's it going yourself 'or "I'm good". Sorry, how's it going yourself?
我有听到有人说"good good yeah, how's it going yourself '或者 "I'm good". Sorry, how's it going yourself?
And then she goes on to say I'm good would not be perceived as beautiful. right.
然后她接着说 I'm good不会被认为是美丽的意思。对的
