In this episode, I am going to teach you a word that is very common and very useful. I should say, "I'm going to teach you a special meaning of a common word."
在这一集中，我将教你们一个非常常见且非常有用的单词。我应该说，“我将教你们一个常见单词的特殊含义。”
The word is wheel. Wheel. W-h-e-e-l. Wheel. The meaning that I have in mind today does have something to do with cars and other vehicles that travel along the road or travel along a street or that roll on the ground.
这个词是wheel。今天我想到的意思确实与汽车和其他沿道路行驶或沿街道行驶或在地面上滚动的车辆有关。
But this is a different meaning from the usual meaning. Usually, when we are talking about cars or trucks, when we use the word wheel, we are talking about the part that rolls on the ground or that rolls on the street.
但这与通常的含义不同。通常，当我们谈论汽车或卡车时，当我们使用wheel这个词时，我们说的是地面上滚动或在街道上滚动的部分。
So we would say that a car has four wheels. This is a different meaning of the word wheel.
所以我们会说汽车有四个wheels。这是wheel这个词的不同含义。
Have you ever heard anyone use the word wheel with a different meaning when they are talking about cars or trucks?
你有没有听过有人在谈论汽车或卡车时使用wheel这个词的不同含义？
Wheel can mean the steering wheel—the round part that you hold and turn to turn or steer the car or the truck.
Wheel可以表示方向盘——你握住并转动以操纵汽车或卡车的圆形部分。
We often call the steering wheel just "the wheel." The wheel. And it is always "the (or the [thee]) wheel," never just "wheel."
我们经常将方向盘称为“the wheel”。而且它总是“the wheel”，而不是“wheel”。
So, if you hear a native English speaker refer to "the wheel," they are probably talking about a car's or truck's steering wheel.
如果您听到以英语为母语的人提到“the wheel”，他们可能在谈论汽车或卡车的方向盘。
And that's why when we refer to the person who is driving a car or truck, we can call that person the driver, or we can say, "the person who is behind the wheel."
这就是为什么当我们提到驾驶汽车或卡车的人时，我们可以称该人为驾驶员，或者我们可以说“the person who is behind the wheel”。
If you are behind the wheel, that means you are sitting in the part of the car or truck where you can hold the steering wheel and turn the vehicle.
如果您坐在方向盘后面，则意味着您坐在汽车或卡车的某个位置，您可以握住方向盘并转动车辆。
The person who is driving is behind the wheel. This is a very common phrase.
开车的人在方向盘后面。这是一个非常常见的短语。
You will often hear people refer to the person who is driving as "the person who is behind the wheel." And you will also hear this person described as being "at the wheel."
您经常会听到人们将开车的人称为“the person who is behind the wheel”。您还会听到将此人描述为“at the wheel”。
At the wheel, behind the wheel: they both mean the person who is holding and turning the steering wheel. Because the steering wheel can be referred to as "the wheel."
At the wheel和behind the wheel都表示握住并转动方向盘的人。因为方向盘可以称为“the wheel”。
We also use "the wheel" in this phrase: "to get (or to be) behind the wheel." To get behind the wheel or to be behind the wheel.
我们也在这个短语中使用“the wheel”：to get behind the wheel或to be behind the wheel。
If you get behind the wheel, that means you sit in your car and drive. And if someone is behind the wheel, that means that person is driving.
如果你get behind the wheel，那就意味着你坐在车里开车。如果someone is behind the wheel，那就意味着那个人在开车。
Here is an example of a sentence that uses this kind of phrase: "You should never get behind the wheel if you have been drinking alcohol."
下面是一个使用这种短语的例句：“You should never get behind the wheel if you have been drinking alcohol.”
In other words, you should not start to drive if you have been drinking alcohol. You should not drive a car.
换句话说，如果你喝了酒，你就不应该开始开车。你不应该开车。
If you have been drinking alcohol, you should not get behind the wheel. I guess we could also say you should not be behind the wheel.
如果你喝了酒，你就不应该get behind the wheel。我想我们也可以说你不应该be behind the wheel。
This is "the wheel," a very common and useful phrase that I think you should know.
以上就是“the wheel”，一个非常常见和有用的短语，我认为你应该知道。
