Yeah.

So our first term was ‘last resort.' 所以我們的第一個術語是「最後的手段」。 Gabby:

Yeah, the ‘last resort' means your last choice. 是的，「最後的手段」意味著你最後的選擇。

Lindsay:

So you don't want to be someone's last resort. 所以你不想成為某人的最後手段。

Gabby:

Your last option. 你最後的選擇。

Lindsay:

Mm.

Gabby:

Maybe, (like), if you, if you're choosing a dessert, right? 也許，（例如），如果你，如果你正在選擇甜點，對嗎？

Lindsay:

Gabby:

All right so we think you get it so let's go on to the next one, ‘to wait until the last minute.' 好吧，我們認為您已經明白了，所以讓我們繼續下一個，“等到最後一分鐘。” So if you wait until the last minute, you're gonna (going to) have to go with your last resort, right? 所以，如果你等到最後一刻，就必須採取最後的手段，對嗎？

Lindsay:

(Mm-hm).

Gabby:

So it's due at midnight and you submit it at 11:59. 所以截止時間是午夜，您在 11:59 提交。

Lindsay:

Yeah.

So don't do that.

Gabby:

What's the last phrase?

Gabby:

And it's, it's also used, (um), (you know), just to be honest, so you know (like) how it's really used, (um), when we talk about safe sex, we can say “You better wrap it up.” 它也是，它也被使用，（嗯），（你知道），老實說，所以你知道（喜歡）它是如何真正使用的，（嗯），當我們談論安全性行為時，我們可以說“你最好把它包裹起來”起來吧。”
