Australians, what do you think? Is a ripper better than ace? I think so.
澳大利亚人，你们觉得怎么样？ripper比ace更好吗？我是这样认为的。
Meet Tom. Now Tom is a tradesman and tradesmen work in trades. They build things and they fix things.
来见见汤姆。汤姆是一个工匠，从事工匠工作。他们建造东西，修补东西。
Here in Australia it's really common to hear the abbreviated names of these jobs.
在澳大利亚，经常听到这些工作的缩写。
The shortened version because we Australians love to make words shorter.
缩短版是因为我们澳大利亚人喜欢把单词缩短。
Say out of all the tradies, which is a tradesman, tradies, you got your chippies - which is a carpenter - sparkys - which is an electrician - the brickies - which are bricklayers.
说到这些职业，tradies是工匠，chippies表示木工，sparkys表示电工，brickies表示瓦匠。
Did you get that?
你明白了吗？
He's referring to people's jobs.
他表示的是人们的工作。
A tradie is a tradesman. A chippy is a carpenter. Someone who workswith wood. A sparky is an electrician. A brickie is a bricklayer.
一位tradie表示一位工匠。一位chippy表示一位木匠。他和木头一起工作。一位sparky是一位电工。一位brickie是一位瓦匠。
Probably the other best part of the day is where we knock off.
或许一天中最棒的时候就是我们停工的时候。
Finish. Get on the piss, which is like you go have a beer.
完工了。畅饮一番，表示去喝啤酒。
Knock off and get on the piss.
停工和喝啤酒。
Not distinctly Australian expressions there but ones that you will definitely hear when you're speaking to Australians.
这不是一个明显的澳大利亚式的表达，但是当你和澳大利亚人进行对话时你绝对会听到。
Unfortunately. Knock off is to finish work for the day.
不幸。完工表示结束当天的工作。
What time do you knock off? I'll knock off early so we can go to the cinema.
你什么时候完工？我会早点完工，我们可以去电影院。
To get or to be on the piss means to drink alcohol and usually quite a lot of it.
去畅饮一番意思是喝酒，而且通常会喝很多。
One glass of wine is not"getting on the piss". Drinking ten beers is definitely on the piss.
一杯酒不叫“畅饮一番”。喝十杯绝对是畅饮。
Now this is not really a pleasant way to describe this activity.
现在，用这种方式来描述这项活动并不会令人愉快。
It's very, very informal and used only amongst friends but for goodness sake's please don't tell your boss that that's what you're doing on a Tuesday night.
这是非常非常非正式的，只在朋友之间使用，但看在上帝的份上，请不要告诉你的老板，这就是你周二晚上要做的事情。
Tell your boss you're meeting a friend for a drink.
告诉你的老板你要去见一个朋友喝一杯。
But then when you're talking to your friend you could say let's get on the piss.
但那时，你去见朋友时 ，可以说去畅饮一番。
That would be letting them know that you were interested in drinking a lot that night.
这会让他们知道那天晚上你想要喝很多酒。
Where's Sam? It's Friday, he'll be on the piss with his mates. Please don't tell anyone you learnt that from me, you learnt it from Tom.
萨姆在哪里？今天是星期五，他要和他的伙伴们一起畅饮。请不要告诉任何人你是从我那里学来的，你是从汤姆那里学来的。
I've got a few mates who often chuck a sickie which means when you can't be bothered going to work, they pretend to be sick and they tell their boss,
我有几个朋友经常生病，也就是说当你不想去上班的时候，他们假装生病，然后告诉老板，
well they tell them I'm sick, but they're really chucking a sickie.
他们会说自己生病了，但他们其实只是称病缺席。
Okay this is a good one, every Australian watching has definitely chucked a sickie at least at some time in the past.
这是一个很好的句子，每个在观看的澳大利亚人绝对之前至少有过一次称病缺席。
And you might have done it as well.
你可能也这么做过。
So this is when you tell your boss that you're unwell and that you need to take the day off work.
所以这个用于告诉你的老板你不舒服而且需要休息一天的时候。
But really you just want to do something more fun like go to the beach or maybe the night before, you went out and you partied too hard and you can't be bothered, you feel lazy.
但实际上，你只是想做一些更有趣的事情，比如去海边，或者前天晚上，你出门了，去派对玩的太过了，你不想被打扰，觉得很懒。
So in Australian slang you can say that you chucked a sickie.
所以澳大利亚俚语中你可以说你chucked a sickie。
Your new friends here might try and convince you to go camping with them one long weekend.
你在这里的新朋友可能会试图说服你和他们一起去野营度过一个漫长的周末。

放轻松。是的。如果你太热情，太紧张了。还有什么时候用它？
Like if you, just like, I'm going to take it easy. Too much.
就像。如果你，就像我要放松一下。太多情况了。
But then you can also tell someone if they're like angry or like too like, erratic. Just say like whoa take it easy. Take it easy is not strictly Australian.
但是如果别人生气，或者过于情绪不稳定，你可以告诉他们。就想说放轻松一点。放松不是严格意义上的澳大利亚式俚语。
You'll hear it said by lots of different native English speakers but it does have a few different meanings like Jess suggested.
