Hi, John! You look worried. What's wrong?
嗨！约翰！你看起来很担忧。怎么了？
I have a problem.
我有个问题。
Really? What kind of problem?
真的吗？什么问题？
My bicycle keeps breaking - the tires go bad, the chain breaks, the gears won't shift.
我的自行车老是坏——轮胎坏了，链条断了，齿轮不转了。
I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe we can use some phrasal verbs to solve your problem.
听到这个消息我很难过。也许我们可以用一些动词短语来解决你的问题。
How so?
为什么这么说？
Phrasal verbs involve a verb and another short word or words.
动词短语包含一个动词和另一个或多个单词。
Together, they have a different meaning from what the individual words suggest.
它们合在一起的意思与单个单词所表示的意思不同。
And some phrasal verbs have a strong connection with problem-solving.
有些动词短语与解决问题有很强的联系。
Like what?
比如呢？
"Figure out". The first step and problem solving is to develop an understanding of what the problem actually is.
“figure out（弄清楚）”。解决问题的第一步是理解问题的本质。
OK. OK.
好吧。好吧。
So you said your bike keeps breaking?
你说你的自行车总是坏？
Yes.
是的。
Who repairs the bike?
谁修理自行车？
I do. I put on a new chain yesterday and it is already broken.
我修。我昨天装上了一条新链子，它已经断了。
I think I've figured out why your bike keeps breaking.
我想我知道为什么你的自行车总是坏了。
It's not the bike - it's you, the mechanic.
问题不在于自行车，而在于你这个修理工。
You're not good at repairing bikes.
你不擅长修理自行车。
Well, I guess you could be right.
我想你可能是对的。
So, now you need to work out a way to correctly fix your bike.
现在你需要想出一个正确修理你的自行车的方法。
"Work out" is another phrasal verb! And yes - my cousin is a great mechanic.
“Work out”是另一个动词短语！是的，我的表弟是个很棒的修理工。
You should go ahead with your plan to call him.
你应该按你的计划给他打电话。
Yes, "go ahead" is another phrasal verb.
是的，“go ahead”是另一个动词短语。
Wow! Figure out, work out, go ahead, all of these are phrasal verbs and all of them connect with problem-solving!
哇！Figure out，work out，go ahead，所有这些都是动词短语，它们都与解决问题有关！
It's too bad your bike-fixing skills aren't as strong as your grammar skills.
可惜你的修自行车的技能不如你的语法技能强。
And that's Everyday Grammar.
以上就是今天的《每日语法》。
