Gabby: Welcome to the All Ears English Podcast, where you'll finally get real, native English conversation. Now here are your hosts, Lindsay McMahon, the ‘English Adventurer' and Gabby Wallace, the ‘Language Angel,' coming to you from Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

Lindsay: In today's episode, you'll learn where most of your success with English comes from. Lindsay：在今天的節目中，您將了解您在英語方面的大部分成功來自何處。

[Instrumental]

Lindsay: Hey Gabby. What's happening today?

Gabby: Hey Lindsay. Not much. How are you doing?

Lindsay: I'm doing well. I'm doing great.

Gabby: Awesome.

Lindsay:

Yeah.

So today we're gonna (going to) talk about what is unsexy about learning English. 所以今天我們要來談談學習英文的不性感之處。

Gabby:

Oh, my goodness. 哦，我的天啊。

Lindsay:

Yeah.

What do we mean when we say ‘unsexy'? 當我們說「不性感」時，我們在說什麼？

Gabby:

Well, unsexy is (like) not exciting. 好吧，不性感就是不令人興奮。

Lindsay:

Yeah, not exciting, not interesting not mysterious. 是的，不令人興奮，不有趣，不神秘。

Gabby:

Right.

Lindsay:

It's just something pretty simple. 這只是非常簡單的事情。

Gabby:

(Mm-hm). Plain and simple. 乾淨俐落。 And it has to do with our quote today. 這與我們今天的報價有關。 Our motivational quote for you is “80% of success is showing up.” Lindsay: Unser Motivationszitat für Sie lautet: „80% des Erfolgs zeigen sich.“ Lindsay: Наша мотивирующая цитата для вас: "80% успеха - это проявление себя". Линдси: 我們對您的勵志名言是「80% 的成功在於表演」。林賽：

Oh wow.

Gabby:

So most of your success is due to just being there. 所以你的成功大部分都歸功於你的存在。

Lindsay:

And just to note, this is a quote by Woody Allen. 需要注意的是，這是伍迪艾倫的一句話。

Gabby:

Thank you.

Lindsay:

I think a lot of people like Woody Allen… Gabby: 我想很多人都喜歡伍迪艾倫…嘉比：

Yeah.

Lindsay:

…and his movies about New York. ……以及他關於紐約的電影。 So… Gabby:

Yeah.

Woody Allen's a classic. 伍迪艾倫是一個經典。

Lindsay:

He's a cool guy. 他是一個很酷的人。 Yep, yep. So showing up is what? 那麼出現是什麼呢？ Can we say that one more time? What is ‘showing up'?

Gabby:

‘Showing up' is being here, (uh) being present. 「現身」就是在這裡，（呃）在場。 Yeah, being prepared. 是的，做好準備。

Lindsay:

Exactly. Being prepared. 做好準備。 Putting in the work. 投入工作。 Like Gabby and I are showing up for you guys by publishing this podcast four times a week. Мы с Габби, например, помогаем вам, выпуская этот подкаст четыре раза в неделю. 就像 Gabby 和我一樣，每週發布四次這個播客來為大家展示。

Gabby:

Right.

Lindsay:

We're actually here working hard. 其實我們都在這裡努力工作

Gabby:

Every week.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. 週一，週二，週三，週四。

Lindsay:

Every week.

Gabby:

Yeah.

Lindsay:

So that's what you guys need to do. 所以這就是你們需要做的。

Gabby:

Mm-hm. Just show up. (I mean) sometimes you're tempted to, (you know), take a day off, which is okay every once in a while, but it can become a pattern and that's where it's dangerous because if you consistently show up, day after day, you consistently study a little bit every day, make it a habit, that's where your strength and your improvement lies. (То есть) иногда возникает соблазн взять выходной, что вполне нормально, но это может превратиться в шаблон, и вот тут-то это и опасно, потому что если вы будете постоянно приходить на занятия, день за днем, каждый день понемногу заниматься, превратите это в привычку, вот где ваша сила и ваше совершенствование. （我的意思是）有時你很想（你知道）休息一天，偶爾休息一次是可以的，但這可能會成為一種模式，這就是危險的地方，因為如果你日復一日地持續出現，每天，你堅持不懈地每天學習一點，讓它成為一種習慣，這就是你的力量和進步所在。

Lindsay:

(Mm). And the opposite of showing up would be maybe hoping for a miracle with your English. 與出現相反的可能是希望你的英語能出現奇蹟。

Gabby:

Yeah.

Lindsay:

Or maybe going through a study spurt, where you study really, (you know), with a lot of intensity for a week and then you don't study again for a month. 或者也許會經歷一個學習衝刺，你真正地學習，（你知道），一周的高強度學習，然後一個月不再學習。

Gabby:

That happens with a lot of people. 很多人都會遇到這種情況。 You get (like) a rush of motivation and then you study really hard for 20 minutes and then you don't open your book again for a year. 你會得到一股動力，然後你認真學習 20 分鐘，然後你一年都不會再打開你的書。 Has that happened to you? 你有遇過這種情況嗎？ I know it's happened to me. 我知道這件事發生在我身上。

Lindsay:

Yes.

Gabby:

Yeah.

Lindsay:

Absolutely. So that's not what we want to do. 所以這不是我們想要做的。 We want to be consistently taking action every day. 我們希望每天都堅持採取行動。

Gabby:

Yeah.

Lindsay:

That is showing up. 那正在顯現。

Gabby:

So if 80% of success is showing up, what do you think the other 20% is? Итак, если 80% успеха заключается в том, чтобы проявить себя, как вы думаете, каковы остальные 20%? 那麼，如果 80% 的成功是表現出來的，那麼你認為另外 20% 是什麼呢？ We haven't really talked about this. 我們還沒有真正討論過這個。

Lindsay:

Good question.

Gabby:

Yeah.

Lindsay:

I think it's luck. 我認為這是運氣。

Gabby:

Luck? I don't know. (I mean), I think it's (like) going above and beyond. （我的意思是），我認為這（就像）超越了。 Right? Showing up, (like) asking questions. 出現，（例如）提問。

Lindsay:

Curiosity. 好奇心。

Gabby:

Yeah.

Some of it could be luck, (like) who is your teacher. 有些可能是運氣，（例如）你的老師是誰。 (You know), are they helpful? （你知道），它們有幫助嗎？ Or who are your classmates? (Like), you can't always control that, but, (you know), you can control the other 20% sometimes, (like)… Lindsay: （例如），你不能總是控制這一點，但是，（你知道），有時你可以控制另外 20%，（例如）… Lindsay：

Yeah.

Gabby:

…yeah, being curious ……是的，好奇

Lindsay:

Desire, desire to learn. 渴望，學習的慾望。

Gabby:

Yeah.

Lindsay:

Like you want to learn no matter, more than anything. 就像你無論如何都想學習一樣。

Gabby:

Right.

And, (you know), a part of it is definitely a cup of coffee. 而且，（你知道），其中一部分肯定是一杯咖啡。

Lindsay:

Like we have our coffee here now, so that's certainly helping us to show up. 就像我們現在在這裡喝咖啡一樣，這肯定有助於我們出現。

Gabby:

Yes, yes. That helps us show up for sure. 這肯定有助於我們出現。 Cool. Well that's a great quote and good tips, so thanks Lindsay. 嗯，這是一個很好的引用和很好的提示，所以謝謝 Lindsay。

Lindsay:

Thank you Gabby.
