In this episode, I am going to teach you a surprising meaning of a common word. The word is head. Head. H-e-a-d.
在本集中，我将教您一个常用词的惊人含义。这个词是head。
Did you know that head can be a verb? It can, and I think you will often hear the verb form of head in casual conversation.
你知道head可以用作动词吗？可以，而且我认为在日常对话中，你会经常听到head的动词形式。
When we use head as a verb, it means "to go." Or "to go in a certain direction." Or "to go to a certain place."
当我们将head用作动词时，它的意思是“去”。或“朝某个方向走”。或“去某个地方”。
Let me give you a couple of examples that will show you how we use the verb head. Imagine that somebody has been to a party at his friend's apartment.
让我举几个例子来告诉您如何使用动词head。想象一下，某人去他朋友的公寓参加聚会。
And when it has gotten a little bit late, the person says to his friend, "Okay, I'm heading out now." Okay, I'm heading out now.
天色稍晚时，这个人对他的朋友说：“Okay, I'm heading out now.”
In that example, this person uses the verb form of head and says, "I'm heading out." What does that mean? Why would somebody use the word head in that way?
在这个例子中，这个人使用了head的动词形式，说：“I'm heading out”。这是什么意思？为什么有人会这样使用head这个词？
Heading out means leaving. It means going out, or going to the outside. And, I think it also suggests the beginning of some kind of trip.
Heading out意味着离开。意思是出去，或者去外面。而且，我认为它也暗示着某种旅行的开始。
In other words, I'm leaving now and going somewhere else. Maybe I'm leaving now and going home. Here's another example:
换句话说，我现在要离开，去别的地方。也许我现在要离开，回家。另一个例子：
Imagine that somebody is in a new city. She doesn't know the city very well, and she's waiting for a bus that will take her downtown. A bus stops at the bus stop.
想象一下，某人来到了一个新城市。她不太了解这座城市，她正在等一辆开往市中心的公交车。一辆公交车停在了公交车站。
The door opens, and she says to the driver, "Does this bus head downtown?" Does this bus head downtown?
车门打开了，她问司机：“Does this bus head downtown?”
There again, you see the verb head, and it means "to go in the direction of downtown," or "to go to downtown."
你又看到了动词head，它的意思是“朝市中心方向行驶”，或者“去市中心”。
These two examples show you how we use the verb head to mean "to go in a certain direction" or "to go to a certain place."
这两个例子向你展示了我们如何使用动词head来表示“朝某个方向行驶”或“去某个地方”。
I think this surprising meaning of the word head is an important thing to know because you will often hear it in casual or informal conversations.
我认为head这个令人惊讶的含义是一件重要的事情，因为你经常会在随意或非正式的对话中听到它。
