نکات آموزشی مکالمه
کلمه bug به طور کلی به حشرات مخصوصا حشراتی که باعث اذیت بشوند گفته می شود.
واژه bite هم به معنی گاز گرفتن است و هم به معنی نیش حشرات.
اصطلاح I can’t stop یعنی نمیتوانم جلوی انجام دادن کاری را بگیرم، یا مدام دارم این کار را انجام می دهم.
کلمه Jerk بیشتر نوعی توهین است. معمولا به انسان (یا در اینجا حشره ای) که ذات بدی داشته باشد اطلاق می شود. به خصوص برای مردانی که از زنان سو استفاده می کنند استفاده می شود.
🔸 Jerk (n) : someone, especially a man, who is stupid or who does things that annoy or hurt other people.
▪️ I swore at him for being such a jerk.
به این عبارت دقت کنید :
B: No, I forgot to buy some.
منظور گوینده این است که قبلا فراموش کرده است چیزی را بخرد. در اینجا forgot باید در حالت گذشته به کار به رود. همچنین buy نیز به همین شکل استفاده می شود و نباید از فرم گذشته استفاده شود.
عبارت Thirsty for more به معنی داشتن احساس نیاز به نوشیدن بیشتر چیزی است.

متن پادکست
Hello, everyone. My name is Marco. And my name is Catherine. And today we’re talking about one of my least favorite things, Marco. Mosquitos. Mosquitos. They’re all over the
place, especially in summer or near water. Exactly. And for me, the worst part is when you are trying to sleep and there’s a mosquito that just keeps on biting you and won’t let
you sleep. You can kind of hear it around your head, you know, by your ears. Oh, I hate that. Or when you just get bitten and you’re in bed and it’s just so much. It burns sometimes.
Yeah, so that’s what we’re talking about today. Fun stuff. Let’s jump right into this dialogue and we’ll be back in a minute to talk about what’s going on.
The mosquitoes are biting me. Me too. I can’t stop scratching. They’re everywhere, sneaky little jerks. Do you have any bug spray? No, I forgot to buy some. Then we’ll have to
put up with it. We can cover ourselves with beer. That way, if they bite us, they’ll get drunk and fall asleep. That’s, without doubt, the best idea you’ve ever had. Let’s do it.
Run. They’re thirsty for more. All right, we’re back. So let’s take a look at some of these words in language takeaway. Language takeaway. All right, so as we mentioned, we’re
going to be talking about mosquitoes and well, these are just little small insects that suck your blood. They do and they’re very thin and not much to say about them. They were
very important in the movie Jurassic Park if you remember that. Right. Now, what’s the difference between a mosquito and a fly? Okay, a fly usually is just annoying. It doesn’t
suck your blood, but a mosquito does. It sucks your blood and flies are fatter and shorter.
And they’re big and black or green. Black and green. Yeah, they just buzz around. Mosquitoes actually bite you. Okay, so a mosquito and they fly. Now, if a mosquito bites you, you
really, really want to scratch. That’s right. So you feel like you need to scratch your body because you have this bite. It’s really an allergy and you have a red bump on your
arm, a red mark and you scratch and it gets worse and worse. All right. And moving on to our next word, mosquitoes have a reputation of being sneaky. Okay, so you can say sneaky
about a lot of things. One, you know, obviously we’re saying mosquitoes are very sneaky. That means that they can kind of hide and get you when you’re not expecting it. Yeah, because
sometimes during the day, you don’t really see them in your room, right? They’re hiding or they’re in a place where you can really see them. And then at night, all of a sudden,
they come out. They come out. So, and they’re very hard to see. They fly around in a way that’s very difficult to catch them or kill them, right? Right. We could say thieves are
very sneaky. Like a thief is someone who steals something and they like to sneak around and hide in the dark. And then when you’re not expecting it, they come out and they steal
your stuff. Exactly. And now, what do we do or what do we use in order to prevent mosquitoes from biting us? This is essential, especially if you’re going to the beach. We bring bug
spray. Bug spray. So a spray is something that you can usually have in a can that you push a button and it comes out, right? It’s like water, but it keeps the bugs away. So
a bug spray keeps bugs away, not only mosquitoes, but like flies too. Flies or any other type of bug. Now specifically for mosquitoes, you would use maybe a mosquito repellent. Right.
So repellent is, it means something that pushes or keeps away things you don’t want.
So something that keeps mosquitoes away is called a mosquito repellent. And usually it’s a cream you put on your arms or legs. Alright, very good. So interesting words that we’ve
just taken a look at. Let’s listen to our dialogue again and we’ll be right back.
The mosquitoes are biting me. Me too. I can’t stop scratching. They’re everywhere, sneaky little jerks. Do you have any bug spray? No, I forgot to buy some. Then we’ll have
to put up with it. We can cover ourselves with beer. That way if they bite us, they’ll get drunk and fall asleep. That’s without doubt the best idea you’ve ever had. Let’s
do it. Run. They’re thirsty for more. Alright, we’re back. So now let’s take a look at a couple of different phrases on fluency builder. Fluency builder. Alright, so the first phrase
is very, very common. The person in the dialogue says that they’re going to have to put up with it, put up with these mosquitoes because they didn’t have any bug spray. So this phrase
to put up with is really important. Alright, so if you put up with something, it means that you tolerate it. Alright, that means even if you don’t want to, you’ll still handle
it. You’ll still have to deal with it. You accept it. So maybe you have a little brother that’s very annoying and you just have to put up with him. There’s no other option.
Or someone says to you, you’re just going to have to put up with it. Or you say, I won’t put up with it anymore. I won’t handle it anymore. I’m done. Alright, so I think this
is a great phrase for us to take a look at a couple of different examples. Example one.
I can’t put up with the noise any longer. Turn that music down. Example two. If you can put up with the smell, then stinky tofu is actually very tasty. Example three. I’ve
had to put up with him for too long. I want a new roommate. And after this, we’ve got another phrase. We’re talking about beer, okay? And so the person says, oh, I have an
idea. Instead of bug spray, we can cover ourselves with beer. So to cover yourself or cover ourselves.
So it means that we put it all over us. Right. So you could even cover yourself with bug spray. Okay. So every part of your body you put bug spray on. Head to toe. Now you can
cover yourself under a tree maybe. Or you can cover yourself with a blanket. Okay. So to cover yourself, to completely hide under something. And finally, we have the response to this idea, the answer. The person says, oh, without a doubt, that means absolutely
or definitely. Okay. So there is no doubt. It is true or it is certain. Right. So a doubt is something that maybe you’re not so sure about. You’re not convinced. But you can say
this is without a doubt the best mosquito spray. Or this is without a doubt the best cake I’ve ever eaten. That means it’s definitely the best cake I’ve ever eaten. Alright. So
I think we’ve covered all the phrases now. Why don’t we listen to our dialogue for the last time and we’ll be right back. The mosquitoes are biting me. Me too. I can’t stop scratching.
They’re everywhere sneaky little jerks. Do you have any bug spray? No. I forgot to buy some. Then we’ll have to put up with it. We can cover ourselves with beer. That way
if they bite us, they’ll get drunk and fall asleep. That’s without doubt the best idea you’ve ever had. Let’s do it. Run. They’re thirsty for more. Mosquitoes are very annoying,
but at times they can be very dangerous. Right. They can. There are a couple of diseases that can be passed by mosquito bites. One of them is malaria and that’s I think pretty
common in Southeast Asia and Southeast Asia. Now there was another situation where people believe that if a mosquito bit a person infected with HIV or AIDS, they could pass it on to
another person. Aha. Well, I don’t know that that’s even possible because there’s no AIDS carrying mosquitoes, but there’s another disease called dengue fever. Dengue fever. And this
is another very dangerous one. It’s also known as break bone fever. And I think it’s so painful. It feels like your bones are breaking and that’s what the name comes around. It’s
very common in South America as well because we have such a tropical climate that in the rainforests of Brazil, Peru, Colombia, it’s common to see this, but not so much anymore.
Now they’re eradicating it. All right. So an interesting topic. Mosquitoes are not only irritating, but can be dangerous. And until next time, everyone, bye-bye. Bye.
