So Michael is form New York City. 邁克爾來自紐約市。 He's lived there his whole life and we brought Michael on to teach you guys some phrases and expressions from New York. 他一生都住在那裡，我們請麥可來教你們一些來自紐約的短語和表達方式。

Michael:

New Yawk (York).

Lindsay:

Yeah, so Michael what are you going to teach us today? 是的，麥可今天你要教我們什麼？

Michael:

Well I think the first thing that (uh), I should show you, I should, we should talk about is pronunciation. 嗯，我認為（呃），我應該向你展示，我應該，我們應該談論的第一件事是發音。 Because in New York, we have a little bit of an interesting way of pronouncing some words. 因為在紐約，我們有一些有趣的單字發音方式。 (Um) it's early in the morning right now, have you guys had a cup of kawfee (coffee) yet? （嗯）現在是凌晨，你們喝咖啡了嗎？

Lindsay:

I have.

Gabby:

I love my coffee.

Lindsay:

As opposed to kawfee (coffee). 與 kawfee（咖啡）相反。 Coffee.

Michael:

Coffee.

But actually in New York, it's kawfee (coffee) and I thought (uh) I could show your listeners (um) a usual sentence that we would say here in New York, which would be this: “I'm gonna (going to) walk my dawg (dog) to the kawner (corner) and grab a kawfee (coffee) for a quawter (quarter).” Lindsay: 但實際上在紐約，它是 kawfee（咖啡），我想（呃）我可以向你們的聽眾（嗯）展示我們在紐約這裡常說的一句話，那就是：「我要（要去）帶著我的狗到kawner（角落），買一杯quawter（四分之一）的kawfee（咖啡）。”林賽：

Wow.

That's incredible. It's so different even from Boston. 即使與波士頓也有很大不同。 It's so different from Boston.

Gabby:

It is. Totally is. 完全是。 You have to really kind of (uh) concentrate there to understand. 你必須真正（呃）集中註意力才能理解。

Lindsay:

So now is that accent all over New York City? 那麼現在紐約市到處都是這種口音嗎？ Are we talking about the five boroughs or are we talking about just Brooklyn, just Queens or what? 我們是在談論五個行政區，還是只是在談論布魯克林、皇后區還是什麼？

Michael:

(Um) I think it's a little stronger in Brooklyn and Queens, but (uh, uh, uh) certainly in New York. （嗯）我認為布魯克林和皇后區的情況要強一些，但是（呃，呃，呃）紐約肯定是這樣。 But we drink kawfee (coffee) here. 但我們在這裡喝kawfee（咖啡）。 I love kawfee (coffee). I love black kawfee (coffee). (Um) I have a dawg (dog). I like to walk my dawg (dog) and (um) sometimes we go down to the kawner (corner), we can get a kawfee (coffee). 我喜歡遛狗，（嗯）有時我們會去 kawner（角落），我們可以喝杯 kawfee（咖啡）。 Now you can't get a kawfee (coffee) for a quawter (quarter), but (uh) a quawter (quarter) can get you a piece of gum in a machine, maybe. 現在，你無法用 quawter（四分之一）買到一杯 kawfee（咖啡），但是（呃）一個 quawter（四分之一）也許可以在機器裡買到一塊口香糖。

Lindsay:

Awesome.

That is an expert New York accent. 這是專業的紐約口音。 I love it.

Michael:

That's how we do that in New York. 我們在紐約就是這樣做的。 New Yawk (York) Gabby:

Very cool.

Lindsay:

That's fantastic. And do you have any (uh) kind of survival vocabulary words that (uh) students might wanna (want to) know if they're studying in New York? 您是否有（呃）學生在紐約學習時可能想知道的（呃）生存詞彙？

Michael:

Sure. I have a, I have a couple of words that come to mind. 我有一個，我想到了幾個字。 (Um) the, the first one is (uh) “agita.” Both: （嗯）第一個是（呃）「agita」。兩個都：

“Agita.”

Lindsay:

I've never heard that one before. 我以前從來沒聽過這個。 I was even… Michael: 我甚至是…邁克爾：

So…

Lindsay:

Go ahead. 前進。

Michael:

So, so “agita” (um) has kind of two meanings. 所以，「agita」（嗯）有兩種意思。 The first one is, (uh), it's a heartburn. 第一個是，（呃），胃灼熱。 It's the way we talk about heartburn from eating something. 這就是我們談論吃東西引起的胃灼熱的方式。 (Um) if you have a lot of (uh) spicy food or pizza, you could say, “Wow, that piga, that pizza gave me ‘agita. （嗯）如果你有很多（呃）辛辣的食物或披薩，你可以說，「哇，那個piga，那個披薩給了我『激動』。 '” Lindsay:

Wow, that's so funny.

Gabby:

Does that come from the word “agitate” or “agitated”? 這是來自“激動”或“激動”這個詞嗎？

Michael:

It, it, it, it might be. 它，它，它，它可能是。 (You know) (um) in the early part of the 20th century there were a lot of Italian immigrants (um) who settled in New York and I think (uh) this word and some of the other words I'm gonna (going to) show you might have come from their culture or their interpretation of English. （你知道）（嗯）在 20 世紀初期，有很多意大利移民（嗯）在紐約定居，我想（呃）這個詞和其他一些詞我會（去）表明您可能來自他們的文化或他們對英語的解釋。 I'm not really sure of the origin, but we also use “agita” (um) it's – (you know) if you have heartburn, it, it, it feels (you know) bad in your stomach and (you know) down there and so when you have stress, it's a very similar feeling so “agita” is also used to mean a stressful feeling from being aggravated by another person. Je ne suis pas vraiment sûr de l'origine, mais on utilise aussi "agita" (um) c'est - (tu sais) si tu as des brûlures d'estomac, ça, ça, ça fait (tu sais) mal au ventre et (tu sais) là-bas et donc quand vous avez du stress, c'est un sentiment très similaire donc "agita" est également utilisé pour signifier un sentiment stressant d'être aggravé par une autre personne. 我不太確定起源，但我們也使用“agita”（嗯）它 - （你知道）如果你有胃灼熱，它，它，它感覺（你知道）你的胃不好並且（你知道）所以當當你有壓力時，這是一種非常相似的感覺，所以「agita」也被用來表示被另一個人激怒而產生的壓力感。

Gabby: There you go.

Lindsay: Oh, that's so useful. That's so interesting.

Gabby: Yeah.

Michael: Yeah, so – or a situation. So (you know) the train, the trains in New York are never on time, so you could say “Ah, the trains give me ‘agita'.” Gabby: 所以（你知道）火車，紐約的火車從來都不準時，所以你可以說“啊，火車給我‘激動’。”蓋比：

Definitely. Good one.

Lindsay: Fantastic. That's a good one to know. I love it.

Okay.

Well what else do you have for us? 那你還有什麼要給我們的嗎？

Michael: My friend, my friend Johnny is always complaining about his job. 麥可：我的朋友，我的朋友強尼總是抱怨他的工作。 Ah, he gives me ‘agita.' 啊，他給了我「激動」的感覺。

Gabby: Right, right. 蓋比：對，對。

Lindsay: He gives you ‘agita.' That's great.

It's so funny. I've never heard of that before. Okay, so what else? 好吧，那還有什麼？ What else do students need to know if they're vacationing or studying in New York? 如果學生在紐約度假或學習，還需要了解哪些資訊？

Michael: ‘Fughedaboudit.'

Lindsay: ‘Fughedaboudit.'

Gabby: That's a good one. I've heard that one. 我聽說過這樣一個。

Lindsay: ‘Fughedaboudit.'

Michael: We use it all the time. It has a couple of different uses. 它有幾種不同的用途。 (Um, um) one, one – the basic use is, it means no way. （嗯，嗯）一，一，基本用法就是，表示沒辦法。

Both: No way.

Michael: So are you thinking of having pizza at that place? 麥可：那你想在那個地方吃披薩嗎？ ‘Fughedaboudit!' “該死！”

That's terrible. 這太可怕了。

Lindsay: And how – give us another example of how we could use that. Lindsay：以及如何使用－再舉一個例子來說明如何使用它。

Michael: Oh, come on Lindsay, you said that you want me to walk all the way from Central Park to Chinatown. 麥可：哦，拜託，林賽，你說過要我從中央公園一路走到唐人街。 ‘Fughedaboudit!'

Gabby: I've done that actually. 加比：我確實這麼做了。

Michael: I'm taking the subway. 麥可：我要搭地鐵。

Lindsay: That's fantastic. I've heard that in a lot of movies. 我在很多電影裡都聽過這句話。 (You know) you hear that all the time. That's such an iconic expression. 這真是一個標誌性的表達方式。

Gabby: And it's fun to say.

Lindsey: It is. ‘Fughedaboudit.'

Michael: ‘Fughedaboudit.'

(Uh), actually if you wrote it down, it would be “forget about it,” but we never say it that way. （呃），其實如果你寫下來的話，那就是“算了吧”，但我們從來不這麼說。 ‘Fughedaboudit.' “Fughedaboudit。”

Lindsay: Excellent. I love it.

All right.

What else have you got for us?

Michael: ‘Not Fuh Nuttin.' 麥可：“不是啊。”

(not for nothing) You guys have the best English podcast I've ever heard. （並非沒有原因）你們有我聽過的最好的英語播客。

Both: Wow.

Gabby: Thank you we like that.

Michael: ‘Not Fuh Nuttin.'

Gabby: ‘Not Fuh Nuttin.'

Michael: So ‘Not Fuh Nuttin' is a phrase that we use when you wanna (want to) give your opinion about something that you believe is true and maybe the listener doesn't know or doesn't realize it. 麥可：所以「Not Fuh Nuttin」是當你想要（想要）對你認為是真實的事情發表你的看法，而聽眾可能不知道或沒有意識到時，我們會使用這個短語。

Lindsay: Oh, that's an important point. So is it…? 那麼是嗎……？

Michael: And we…

Lindsay: (Mm-hm).

Michael: I'm sorry.

Lindsay: No, go head (ahead), go head (ahead). Lindsay：不，繼續前進，繼續前進。

Michael: And it's usually followed by “but.” For example. 麥可：通常後面跟著「但是」。例如。 “Not for nuttin' (nothing), but you guys have the best English podcast.” “不是為了胡說八道，但你們有最好的英語播客。”

Gabby: Oh wow.

Lindsay: Wow.

Gabby: Very cool.

Michael: ‘Not for nuttin' (nothing), but New York has the most delicious pizza anywhere. 麥可：「不是為了堅果」（沒什麼），但紐約有世界上最美味的披薩。

Lindsay: Wow.

Gabby: So it's like to introduce (uh) an opinion like you were saying 蓋比：所以這就像介紹（呃）一個像你所說的觀點

Michael: That's right.

Gabby: Okay.

Lindsay: Yeah.

Gabby: That's great.

Lindsay: ‘Not for nuttin' (nothing). Interesting.

Michael: ‘Not for nuttin' (nothing). Yeah, ‘not for nuttin' (nothing), I wouldn't date that guy, he's a bit of a loser. 是的，「不是為了瘋」（沒什麼），我不會和那個人約會，他有點失敗。

Lindsay: That's great. That's awesome. So these phrases, do you hear them on the subway all the time? 那麼這些短語，你在地鐵裡經常聽到嗎？ Or you hear them on the street? 或是你在街上聽過他們的聲音嗎？

Michael: Yeah, you hear it all the time, all the time. 麥可：是的，你一直聽到它，一直。 It's very common (uh) everyday language here on the subway, out in Central Park, in Times Square. 這是在地鐵、中央公園、時代廣場上非常常見的日常用語。 Yeah.

Gabby: Excellent.

Lindsay: (Do) you have one more?

Michael:

Sure. (Um) let's see. （嗯）讓我們看看。 ‘A skooch.' “一聲。”

Both:

‘A skooch.'

Michael:

‘A skooch.'

Lindsay:

How do you spell that?

‘A skooch' is a person who's bothersome or always (uh) nagging you. 「a skooch」是指一個很煩人或總是（呃）嘮叨你的人。

Gabby:

Ah, you don't want to be ‘a skooch.' I see.

Michael:
