Now ‘a change of heart' is slightly different.

现在我们学习“改变心意”,这个词略微有些不同。

You can see that it's treated like a noun phrase.

你可以看到它是作为名词短语使用的。

It's always a change of heart and it's usually singular.

“改变心意”的形式不会变化,一般是单数形式。

And this idiom is about a change in attitude.

这个习语是有关态度的改变的。

A change in the way that you feel about something.

是你对某件事情的感觉有了变化。

So imagine that you found a dress and it's perfect to wear to your friend's wedding.

想象一下,你发现了一条裙子,而且非常适合穿着去参加你朋友的婚礼。

It's gorgeous, you love it but you're not sure if it's going to go with the shoes that you've already got at home.

它超级华丽,你超级喜欢它,但是你不确定和家里的鞋搭不搭。

You're not sure if you should buy it.

你不确定是否应该买这条裙子。

但是店员说“如果你改变心意的话,明天可以再来的”。

Now be careful that you don't use this idiom in the same way as the previous ones.

要注意,这个习语的使用方式与前一个不太一样。

You can't say “He changed his heart” or “I changed my heart”

你不能说“He changed his heart”,或者是“I changed his heart”。

It's usually used with the verb ‘have'.

它一般都是和动词“have”一起使用。

I started feeling really sad that I was leaving

我开始真正地感觉到有点伤心,因为这次是真的离开了,

so my mum said “Well if you have a change of heart and you decide to move back home, you'll always be welcome.”

所以我的妈妈说“如果你改变心意,想要搬回家的话,我们一直向你敞开怀抱”,

which made me feel a lot better about leaving.

这句话让我对离开这件事情不那么伤心了。

Now speaking of moving house, we have our next idiom, ‘a change of scene' or ‘a change of scenery'.

好的,说到搬家,那让我们聊聊一个新的习语吧,那就是“改变环境”。

And this idiom is used when you move to different surroundings, you know, a different environment.

当你搬到不同的地方,就是全新的环境中的时候,就可以使用这个习语。
