Hello, welcome to the class today
大家好，欢迎来到今天的课程
For today’s slang, we will be talking about "all-nighters" and "one night stands."
今天的俚语，我们来讲通宵和一夜情
Okay, I know, they sound really similar. They both have the word "night" in them
它们听上去很类似吧，这两个俚语里都有“晚上”这个词
BUT you do not want to get them confused because they have very different meanings
但是你不想把它们混淆，因为它们的意思截然不同
Let’s talk about one first: all-nighters
让我们先看看通宵这个词
"All-nighters" can be used like this: I am going to pull an all-nighter because I have so much homework
可以这样用：我需要通宵因为我有很多作业
I definitely can’t get any sleep tonight
今天晚上是睡不了了
To "pull" an all-nighter means you are planning on staying up all night
意思就是你计划一晚上都不睡觉
The term "one night stand" on the other hand, refers to…well…sleeping with someone
一夜情，就是。。。和一个人睡觉
And never seeing them again
然后再也不会见到那个人
For example, if you were at a bar, and you met someone nice
如果你在一个酒吧，然后遇到了一个不错的人
and thought looked pretty good, then slept with them, and never saw them again
觉得长的不错，然后一起过夜，并以后不会再见到了
you just had a one night stand with this person
那你和这个人就发生了一夜情
So if someone asks you what you did over the weekend, make sure you have the two words separate
如果有人问你上个周末做了什么，你需要分清楚这两个俚语
To pull an "all-nighter" means to stay up all night
通宵的意思是一晚上没睡觉
To have a "one night stand" is to sleep with somebody
一夜情的意思是和一个人过夜
Those two phrases of slang sound very similar, but because their meanings are so different
这两个俚语听上去很接近，但是它们的意思非常不同
you don’t want to get them confused
你不想将它们混淆
Let’s talk about our sentence structure for today
让我们说说今天的句型
Here’s our example: Playing video games, though great for fun, can be bad if you play too often
例如：虽然游戏很好玩，但是如果玩多了会不好
So the structure of the sentence is "A, though B, has this effect (C)."
这个句型是 A，尽管B，会产生影响C
And B and C are usually kind of….juxtaposed. They’re opposites. They don’t
mean the same thing
B和C一般都是相反的
C will probably surprise you after hearing B
当你听到了B以后，C有可能会让你惊讶
Our last example is : carrots, though you may not like them, are very good for
you
我们最后一个例子是 虽然你可能不喜欢胡萝卜，但是吃胡萝卜对你非常有益
Okay? So remember that sentence structure – it will come back
现在要记住这个句型，因为我们接下来还要涉及

I know a lot of you are practicing reading English. Reading is a very important part of learning a language
很多人都在练阅读，阅读在学习一门语言里很重要
And usually, you’ll want to pick up a book by a classic author
一般你都想去读一些经典作者的作品
like Hemingway, Shakespeare, or all sorts of other authors you hear people talking about
例如海明威和莎士比亚
However, though these books are very educational
但是，虽然这些书籍非常有教育意义
they can be very confusing, because of the Old English that is used
他们会比较让人困惑，因为是用古英语写的
Recognize that sentence structure?
