In this episode, I am going to teach you an interesting expression.
在这一集中，我将教你一个有趣的表达方式。
This is an expression that we use when we want to say that somebody is not unfamiliar with something.
当我们想说某人对某事并不陌生时，我们会使用这个表达方式。
In other words, this is an expression that we use when we want to say that somebody knows about something.
换句话说，当我们想说某人知道某事时，我们会使用这个表达方式。
Somebody has experience with something. Somebody is already familiar with something or some place or some activity.
某人对某事有经验。某人已经熟悉某事、某个地方或某项活动。
And the expression is "no stranger to" that place or that thing or that activity. No stranger to. That's no—n-o, stranger—s-t-r-a-n-g-e-r, to—t-o. No stranger to.
这个表达方式是“no stranger to”那个地方、那个东西或那个活动。
Stranger can be an adjective, but it can also be a noun. And you have probably heard this noun before. A stranger is somebody you don't know, or somebody you are not familiar with.
Stranger可以是形容词，也可以是名词。你可能以前听过这个名词。Stranger是你不认识的人，或者你不熟悉的人。
When we say that somebody is no stranger to something, we are saying that person is not a stranger to something. Instead, that person is familiar with that thing.
当我们说somebody is no stranger to something时，我们是在说这个人对某事并不陌生。相反，这个人对那件事很熟悉。
That person has some experience with it. Let me give you an example of the kind of situation where we use the expression "no stranger to."
那个人对此有一定的经验。举例说明我们在什么情况下会用到“no stranger to”这个表达。
Let's say that you are starting a new job. You are starting a new job in an office. And, on your first day, somebody is training you.
假设你开始了一份新工作。你在办公室开始了一份新工作。第一天，有人在培训你。
Somebody is showing you around the office and teaching you some of the things that you will need to know.
有人带你参观办公室，教你一些你需要知道的东西。
And this person starts explaining some software to you. And this is a kind of software that you are already very familiar with.
这个人开始向你解释一些软件。这是一种你已经非常熟悉的软件。
And so you say to the person who is training you, "Oh, I am no stranger to this software." I am no stranger to this software.
于是你对培训你的人说：“Oh, I am no stranger to this software.”
That is a way of saying, "Oh, I am already familiar with this software. I already know this software." I am no stranger to this software.
这就是说：“哦，我已经熟悉这个软件了。我已经知道这个软件了。”
Here's another example: Imagine that you are playing cards with a group of friends. And in the end, you lose the game. You don't win. Instead, you lose.
另一个例子：想象一下你和一群朋友打牌。最后你输了。你没有赢。相反，你输了。
And somebody is consoling you. "Oh, don't worry about it," they say. "It's okay if you lost." And you say to them, "I am no stranger to losing at this game."
有人在安慰你。“哦，别担心，”他们说。“输了也没关系。”然后你对他们说“I am no stranger to losing at this game”。
In other words, "I am familiar with losing at this game." And that is "no stranger to," a very interesting and useful expression that I think you should know.
换句话说，“我对输掉这场比赛并不陌生。”以上就是“no stranger to”的用法，这是一个非常有趣且有用的表达方式，我认为你应该知道。
