Do you want to do some exercise? No, I want to play badminton.
When you think of exercise, you may think of exercise first, but you will find that you hear the word work out more often in America. The so-called fitness mainly refers to some gym exercises. For example, if you go to a weight-lifting treadmill, or aerobic exercise is considered as an exercise. Of course, the popular American kickBoxing (real name "TaeBo", which originated from Tae-kwon-do Taekwondo and boxing boxing) can also be regarded as a kind of fitness exercise. But if it's tennis, don't say fitness, just say I'm going to play tennis.
This kind of Taekwondo is a new aerobic dance in the United States. I remember seeing more than one aerobic dance on TV before, and more than two. However, it is impossible for American women to favor calisthenics that do not dance vigorously enough. So now Taekwondo is kicking, kicking, hitting, hitting. Many of its movements are evolved from boxing, so a taekwondo jump will definitely make you sweat.
2. Is there a court now? We want to make a reservation now.
Is there a venue now? We'd like to reserve a venue.
I often ask myself if there is a court. Excuse me, is there a court? Later, the same American corrected me, just saying, is there a court? That's good. Generally, there are two kinds of sports venues, one is first come, first served, and the other is reserved. If you need to make a reservation, you can call and say, I want to reserve a venue from 3 pm to 4 pm, or I want to reserve a venue from 3 pm to 4 pm.
3. You are ready.
You have finished.
When one thing is done, it is called a deal. For example, every time I go to the equipment group to return the racket, they will check it after they get it. If everything is all right, they will tell me that everything is all right and you are ready. It means, no problem, you can go. Generally speaking, set refers to a thing. If there is more than one thing, use all the settings. For example, boyfriends and girlfriends are going out to play, girls! Always dress up! If you (boys) are impatient! You can say, is everything ready? For example, when the leader asks if you have finished something, and you have finished your part, you can say that everything is ready, sir! In other words, it's all over.
4. Wow! It's packed.
Wow! Many people.
It seems that people who have just come to the United States from Taiwan Province Province can only say that it is too crowded. In fact, there are many similar usages. For example, once I went to get tickets for a football match, and the scene was packed. I heard the old American say that it was so crowded. Another time I went to the golf driving range, and there was no vacancy. Our team leader said, damn it! It's packed.
5. That's good. Warm up first.
Never mind, let's warm up first.
It doesn't matter. You can simply say, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter or it's fine. Warm-up refers to the warm-up exercise before doing all kinds of exercises. For example, once I went to learn to dance, when the teacher arrived, he told me to find a partner and warm up. This sentence sounds simple now, but it was really incomprehensible at that time.
6. Good game, man, you are too easy. It was a great game, and you beat me easily.
The phrase "good game" is often used after the game. Usually, my opponent and I greet each other. This is a good game. If I lose, I will say so. Good game. Dude. You caught me easily. That means I'm willing to lose. If I really lost badly, you can also say that you really kicked my ass.
7. But you are better. I'm just lucky.
Actually, you are better. I'm just lucky.
In fact, the United States is quite hypocritical. Once I played tennis with an American and was killed. Unexpectedly, after the game, he politely said to me, "You are better off. I'm just lucky. " Later, I also learned this sentence. Once I went to see my classmate's game, and he lost. I comforted him and said, "You are better off, he is just lucky."
8. Do you want a rematch?
Do you want to play another game?
The rematch dictionary refers to the rematch, but when Americans say this to you, they mean whether to play another game. Every time I play ball with my roommate, if he loses, he will keep saying this sentence. Do you want a rematch? Of course I won't talk to him! Keeping winning is the most important thing. This sentence can also be simply said, do you want to play again? But both are very common.
9. No, I smell it. I need to go home and take a bath.
No, I smell it. I must go home and take a bath.
Smell in Chinese is an adjective, but it is a verb in English, which is what many people have been confused about. The sense of smell in English can be said to be smell or stink. Usually, the smell is a little worse than the smell. Smell just means it smells, and stink is smelly.
I remember watching the TV series "Full House" once, and my father asked my son how he went to the zoo today. Unexpectedly, the son only replied to him, camel stinks. (Camels stink) What a lovely child.
10. Call it a day. Let's call it a day.
I often hear Americans say this. Usually, after a hard day's work, Americans will say, Let's call it a day! This means we can call it a day, which means we can have a rest! Or when you are tired and don't want to play, you can say to your teammates, "I've had enough." Let's call it a day! "
