请拿杯水给我 要快点
Get me a glass of water quickly
Get在这句话中是什么意思呢？
What do we mean by the word, get?
get 通常我们认为有“希望得到某物”或“得到某物”
By get, we mean we asking for something or we are receiving something
但你知道get除了字面意思 还有其他意思么
But do you know that get can have to a different meaning other than its literal meaning ?
当然有 跟我一起收看
Yes, it can, keep watching with me
Michelle 来发现get其他不同有趣的用法吧
Michelle to find out the different meanings for our interesting get
我们看一下第一个词组
Let’s look at the first expression that we have
Get real 很明显这个词组
Get real, obviously, this expression will be used for a person who is not so realistic
通常是用来形容一个人不太现实或者想太多不现实的东西
or maybe who is imagining a lot of things which are not true
比如 我有一个朋友 她有点矮
So, I have this friend who is a bit short
但她想做模特 想赢得佳丽的称号
and she wants to be a model，she wants to win a beauty pageant
我对她说“get real”对于你来说这是不可能
And I told her,get real, it’s not possible for you
因为要成为一个模特或者赢得佳丽称号 身高至少175cm以上
coz you need to be at least 5’8″ to be a model or to win a beauty pageant
她只是在脑海中幻想了一下这些事情
So she’s just imagining things in her head
所以很显然你可以猜到
So obviously as you must guessed
我不可能对刚见面的人说这样一个有点粗鲁的话
I cannot say this statement to someone I’ve met for the first time coz it’s slightly rude
所以避免用在陌生人身上 但可以跟你的朋友随便用哦
So please refrain from using it with strangers and you can use it freely with your friends
特别是对那些容易想太多的人
So for someone who is being too imaginative
好的 让我们一起来看下一个 get a life
Alright, let’s look at the next one, get a life
这和get a real意思差不多
This has a similar meaning like get real
我们对死亡一无所知 这跟你让一个死去的人振作起来一样
We’re not know nobody’s dead, it’s not like you’re telling a dead person to get a life
是不可能的
coz that is just not possible
它有一个惯用意思 但背后的含义是需要你自己去领悟的
So it has an idiomatic meaning which it means a hidden meaning that you need to understand
所以get a life语气很强硬 比get real更粗鲁
So get a life is a stronger statement and a bit more rude than get real
它是对一个非常无趣的人说的
This would be used for a person who is very boring
可能这个人想用周六晚上来打扫家里
Possibly a person who wants to spend their Saturday night cleaning the house
这很无聊 不是吗
That’s so boring, isn’t it ?
我肯定如果你有一个这样的朋友
And I am sure if you have a friend like that
你会想让他们出去走走并做一些有趣的事情
you would want them to go out and do something exciting
像我有一个朋友Hannah 上周我跟她聊天
So I have a friend, Hannah and I spoke to her last weekend
那是周六晚上 我说今晚你要做什么
It was Saturday evening and I said, “What are you doing this evening ?”
她说 我想打扫房子
she said, “I’m cleaning the house.”
我告诉她 get a life 出去玩玩 做一些有趣的事情
I told her, get a life. Go out, have fun
这意味着做一些有趣的事
This means that do something interesting
你可以对一个非常无聊的人或做着无聊事情的人经常使用它
And you usually use this for a person who is very boring or who is acting boring
做一些有趣的事吧
To do something exciting
有多种表达方式可以用到get
There are many more expressions that you can have with get
你可以表达你想要做某事
You can express that you want someone to do something
不仅如此 你也可以要求某人get lost来表达你的愤怒
Not only that, you can also express your anger when you ask someone to get lost
你会认为他们会滚开而且不会再见你吗？
Do you think they are gonna get lost and never see you again ?
这可能不会发生 但是下一次 当你想表达生气或者很愤怒时
Possibly that’s not gonna happen but again you can use this with your friend
你可以对你的朋友说
when you want to express your anger and you are really irritated
或许你和朋友以争吵结束
So maybe at the end of an argument with your friend
可能只是小的口角 但你用get lost这个短语时
It could be a small argument but you can use this phrase, get lost
只有在确定他们不会觉得get lost很伤人时
As long as you are sure they will not be offended
因为我知道有些人会觉得get lose会冒犯他们
coz I know people who get really offended with the use of get lost
如果有人这么跟我说 我会觉得很生气
If someone tells me that, I’d be really offended
所以要小心使用这个短语
So be careful with the use of this phrase
你可以在你非常生气的时候说这话
You use it when you are very angry
你是在跟他们说不要再让我看见你
And here you are asking that person to never show their face again
但你不是真的那么想的 只是在那个时候
But you don’t mean it literally, it’s just for the moment
接下来看下一个短语 Get a move on
Let’s look at the next phrase that we have. Get a move on
所以当你要别人move on是让他们加快速度
So you’re asking someone to move on which means to increase their speed
你会让谁去加速呢？
Who would you ask to increase their speed?
显然是那些很慢的人
Naturally, someone who is very slow
所以get a move on 换个说法 就是快一点
So get a move on, in other words, means hurry up
快点
hurry up
你有没有在要求你丈夫和你一起打扫房间时用过这句话？
Has it ever happened that you asked your husband to clean the house with you
但是他懒懒散散心不在焉 只是到处晃
And he’s just lazing and doodling around, he’s just not moving
你可以说 快一点 我们没有一整天的时间打扫这个屋子
You could tell him, get a move on, we don’t have all day to clean the house
来看看下一个短语 在那之前 来看看这个短语
Let’s look at the next phrase. Oh before that, let’s also look at this phrase
Get a move 和 get the lead out我是想用gat the lead out来表达什么呢？
Get a move on and get the lead out. What do I mean by, get the lead out ?
它和get aove on有点像 但是语气更强烈
It has a similar meaning like get a move on but again it’s a stronger term
所以这话可以用在当你很愤怒别人却还不知道的时候
So this could be used when you are really irritated and someone is just not you know hurrying up
比如 你在参加一个会议
For example, you are in a meeting or yeah in a meeting
你的同事说话很慢很慢
And you have this colleague who is really slow when they speak
他就是一个说话很慢的人虽然他确实是一个好朋友
He’s a very slow talker, although he’s a good friend as well
这个人正在发言
So this person is doing a presentation
他一直一直一直讲 但他就是没讲到重点
and he’s just going on and on and on and he’s not even coming to the point
所以你就可以跟他说 麦克 告诉我们你需要说什么 讲重点啊
So you could tell, come on Mike get the lead out and tell us what you need to say, Get to the point
这也指快一点 但是 是在你很没有耐心或者非常生气时
So this also means, hurry up but when you are really impatient and when you are very irritated
当你非常生气的时候
When you are very irritated
我们来谈谈这个短语的起源 get the lead out
Let’s also talk about the origin of this phrase, get the lead out
正如你听到的 铅是一种金属 是你不了解的金属中最重的金属
As you’ve heard, lead is a metal and it’s the heaviest metal for those of you don’t know
你让别人卸掉最重的金属 他们就能够加快速度
And so you are asking someone to get that heaviest metal off so that they can increase their speed
有时你会这么用孩子 把铅从你的裤子里拿出去 继续前行
Sometimes you’ll also use it like get the lead out of your pants, kids and get going
所以你也可以这么用这个短语
So you can also use it in that way
来看下一个 Get to the point
Let’s look at the next one that we have. Get to the point
正如我之前说的 如果你的朋友也跟我的朋友Mike一样说话超级慢
So as I told you, if you have a friend like Mike like my friend Mike who’s a slow talker
并且他不会去掉不重要的东西 你可以说
and who just can’t get the lead out, you could tell him
说重点 因为他经常说话拐弯抹角
Get to the point. Because he’s been beating around the bush
他不是在说他应该说的
He’s not talking about what he must talk
他闲聊一大堆 说了很多无关紧要的事
So he is given a lot of talks, he’s talking about a lot of unimportant things
但是就是不谈你们对话的重点
But he’s not getting to the point which means get to the main topic of your conversation
直接说主题
Get to the main topic
所以我们知道你想说的重点
So here we have get to the point for you
对我来说 说重点就是来看下一个短语 Get with it
For me to get to the point, let’s look at the next phrase. Get with it
这个短语和get real get a life的意思差不多
So, this phrase has a similar meaning like get real or get a life
Get with it是指改变态度
Get with it means just get with the attitude
就像在你生气的时候 你指责别人
It’s like reprimanding someone which means that you’re being angry
并且你在生气地告诉别人改变他们的态度
and you’re telling someone with some anger to change their attitude
如果有人跟你说 你晚上不应该出门 因为你是女孩子
So if someone tells you that you shouldn’t go out at night because you’re a girl
你可能会告诉他或她 改变你的观点
You might tell him or her, get with it just get done with your attitude
女性因为太晚不能出门是很久以前的事了
Gone are the days when women couldn’t go out because it’s late at night
如果你在晚上可以照顾好自己 并且你可以确保安全 当然可以
If you can handle yourself at night and if you can manage your own safety, it’s perfectly okay
所以get with it是指改变你的观点
So get with it means to change your attitude
当然这个短语比get real或get a life要更加严厉
And definitely, it is the harsher term than get real or get a life
以上这些就是关于get 的一些有趣短语了
