  • Hello and welcome to The English We Speak.
  • 大家好,欢迎来到我们说的英语节目。
  • Rosie and I are doing a salsa class tonight.
  • 罗茜和我今晚要学习萨尔萨舞。
  • It's my favourite Latin American dance and I love the music!
  • 这是我最爱的拉丁舞种,我喜欢这种音乐!
  • Yes, and it's not easy… One, two, three!
  • 对,但这并不容易……一、二、三!
  • Oh, I'm not very good yet–I'm still finding my feet.
  • 哦,我跳的还不是很好——我还在适应。
  • You're still finding your feet? No wonder you're so bad.
  • 你还在找你的脚?难怪你跳得这么差。
  • How can you dance if you don't know where your feet are?
  • 如果你不知道你的脚在哪里,要怎么跳舞啊?
  • I do know where my feet are, Helen.
  • 我知道我的脚在哪里,海伦。
  • When you say you're finding your feet in English, it means you're becoming confident at something.
  • 英语中说找你的脚的意思是,你渐渐地对某件事充满信心。
  • So if I say I'm still finding my feet, it means I'm still getting used to a new situation…
  • 那如果我仍在找我的脚,意思就是我还在适应新环境……
  • which might not have anything to do with feet?
  • 这和脚可能没有什么关系?
  • That's right. And when you say you've found your feet, it means you've become familiar with a situation.
  • 没错。而且,如果你说你找到了你的脚,意思就是你已经熟悉环境了。
  • Let's have a look at some examples then:
  • 下面咱们来看几个例子:
  • Lauren has only been at her new job for four days, so she's still finding her feet.
  • 劳伦的新工作刚刚做了四天,所以她仍在适应新环境。
  • My daughter started secondary school two weeks ago, but she's already found her feet.
  • 我女儿两周前升上初中了,而她已经适应新环境了。
  • She's made loads of new friends and really likes her teachers.
  • 她交了很多新朋友,而且她也很喜欢她的老师。
  • "I've been living in Egypt for a year but I still can't speak Arabic very well."
  • “我在埃及生活一年了,但是我的阿拉伯语说得仍不是很好。”
  • "I'm sure you'll find your feet soon."
  • “我确定你很快会适应的。”
  • So finding your feet has nothing to do with your actual feet–
  • 所以“适应新环境”这个短语实际上跟脚没有任何关系——
  • you can use it when you start a new job or when you're doing something new.
  • 你可以在开始新工作或者是尝试新鲜事物时使用这个短语。
  • That's right… And I feel like I'm getting quite good at salsa now.
  • 好的……我感觉现在我的萨尔萨舞跳得很好了。
  • Really? It looks like you're still finding your feet…
  • 真的吗?看起来你还在适应……
  • I might ask someone to dance with me, Helen.
  • 也许我应该请某人和我一起跳舞,海伦。
  • That guy over there is pretty good. Hi, would you like to dance?
  • 那边那个男子不错。你好,能请你跳支舞吗?
  • Oh, OK.
  • 哦,好的。
  • Oooooh this is fun. One, two, three… Oops sorry! Did I step on your foot?
  • 哦,这很有趣。一、二、三……哦,对不起!我是不是踩到你了?
  • Ouch!
  • 哎哟!
  • It looks like Rosie's doing more than finding her feet -
  • 看上去罗茜做到的事情可不仅仅是找到她的脚——
  • she's finding other people's feet and stepping on them too!
  • 她找到了其他人的脚而且踩在了上面!
