Hey there I'm Emma from mmmEnglish! We gotta talk.
我们好，我是Emma，等待来到Emma的甘旨英语！咱们需要说话。
Too many of you have been telling me that you're worried about joining English conversations.
You're worried about getting stuck, forgetting your words, feeling embarrassed about making mistakes.
你们其间许多人一向在和我说你们很忧虑参加英语对话。你们忧虑说话卡壳，忧虑忘掉要说啥，忧虑会因为犯错感到为难。
Does that sound like you? Do you want to get unstuck with me today?
I'm sharing twenty-seven really useful expressions to help you get yourself out of trouble when you need to and help you to feel more confident about joining English conversations in the first place.
那听起来是不是很像你？你今日想和我一同脱节窘境吗？我会共享二十七个非常有用的表达，协助我们在需要的时分脱节窘境，协助我们关于刚初步参加英文对话感到愈加自傲。
. . . . . . Before we get stuck in, I've got some fantastic news from our friends at Lingoda who are offering us an exclusive discount available only to mmmEnglish students.
在咱们被困住之前，我有来自咱们的兄弟Lingoda的好消息，他们供给给英语学生独家的扣头。我猜我们现已晓得Lingoda言语冲刺了，是吧？
I'm assuming that you already know about the Lingoda Language Sprint, right? It's basically the same as the Lingoda marathon, they've just changed the name.
它和Lingoda马拉松根柢上相同，只是换了名字而已。所以呢，冲刺赛应战我们经过在九十天的时刻内参加必定数量的课程来加速英语口语技能、自决心和流利度。
So The Sprint challenges you to accelerate your English speaking skills, your confidence and your fluency by attending a certain number of classes within ninety days.
Now, if you attend all of your classes, Lingoda will give you up to a hundred percent of your money back which is very, very cool!
假定你们参加了一切的课程的话，Lingoda就会悉数返还你们交的费用，这点真的非常非常好！我们有两种参加的方法。
Now, there's two ways that you can participate. The Sprint, which is fifteen classes a month for three months.
冲刺跑是三个月每月参加十五节课程。假定结束一切的课程的话，就可以得到一半的费用返还。
If you complete all of these classes, you'll get a fifty percent refund. Or The Super Sprint which is thirty classes a month for three months.
或许是超级冲刺，是接连三个月每月参加三十节课程。假定你结束了的话，就可以拿到悉数的费用返还！
If you complete that, you'll get a one hundred percent refund! Now you can do The Sprint in English, business English, German, French or Spanish.
我们可以参加英语、商务英语、德语、法语或许是西班牙语的冲刺跑。我本年早些时分参加的是西班牙语课程，真的挺可贵，可是却是我为了前进西班牙口语技能做过的最佳的作业之一了！
I did the Spanish version earlier in the year and man it was tough but it was easily one of the best things that I ever did for my Spanish speaking skills!
They have small group classes, native teachers and twenty-four seven flexibility.
他们有小班课，母语教师和全天候的活络性。下一个冲刺跑是1月29号初步，想要占到坐位的话，你需要在1月27号之前挂号付款。

But Lingoda are giving us an exclusive discount here at mmmEnglish. If you register early, as in before the end of the year, you'll get thirty euros off your class fees.
假定你们抢先注册的话，比方说在本年年末之前，你们可以得到三十欧元课程费用的减免。就像我说过的，这是只供给给甘旨英语的特别优惠哦，截止到本年年末。
Like I said, this is a special offer that's only available to mmmEnglish students and only until the end of this year.
So if you want to give your speaking skills a huge boost in 2021, then check out the link in the description box below for all the details.
所以假定你们想要在2021年口语技能日新月异的话，那就看一下描绘区的联接，晓得更多概况吧。我的学生常常忘掉一件作业，那就是每个自傲的说英语的人，不管他们是母语者还对错母语者，都会运用我今日要共享的这些战略协助他们进行交流。
There's something that my students often forget, that every confident English speaker, whether they're native or non-native, uses the strategies that I'm sharing today to help them communicate.
That's right, native English speakers use these techniques all the time. It's a natural part of communicating.
是这样的，英语母语者一向都会运用这些技巧。这是交流非常天然的一有些。咱们并不老是晓得咱们想要说啥，也并不老是会完满地信口开河。
We don't always know what we want to say and it doesn't always come out perfectly either.
What confident English speakers know how to do is quickly get themselves out of trouble if they need to.
自傲的说英语的人晓得假定需要的话，究竟该怎么做来灵敏带自个脱节窘境。假定他们被困在对话之中的话，他们晓得如何处置疑问。
If they get stuck in the conversation they know how to fix it. And there are plenty of English phrases and expressions that will help you in these situations.
有许多英语短语和表达可以在这些情况之下协助你们。所以当你堕入了僵局，或许是找不到适合的词汇，或许是忘掉你想要说啥，感遭到自个的决心逐渐地不见，或许是脖子越来越热的时分，可以感触要呆若木鸡了。这种情况有没有发生在你的身上？
So when you get stuck or when you can't find the right words or you forget what you wanted to say and you start feeling your confidence slipping away or the heat rising up in your neck, maybe you freeze.
Has this ever happened to you? The thing is and I'm sorry to be the one to say this, the thing is this experience is never going to end.
作业是这样的，我很抱愧这么说，实际就是这种阅历是永久没有止境的。所以你需肄业习和它共存，对吧？
So it's something that you need to learn to live with, right? And just become more comfortable with.
要对这种情况的存在感到愈加舒畅。当那种情况发生的时分，其实你可以灵敏地、主动地让自个脱节窘境。
And when that happens, you'll be able to get yourself out of trouble quickly and automatically.
So let's focus on the expressions that you need to get unstuck in English conversations so that you can move past the problem and keep talking.
让咱们来集合于你需要脱节英语对话窘境的表达吧，这样你们就可以灵敏地绕过疑问，持续说话。好的，愿望一下你刚遇到一个知道的人，或许是一个火伴，或许是学校里边的教授，而你刚刚初步用英语攀谈。
Okay imagine that you've just run into someone that you know, perhaps a colleague or a professor at your university and you've started chatting in English.
Things are going pretty well, you know, but suddenly you don't really understand what they're saying.
对话进行的很顺畅，可是俄然之间你不了解他们在说啥了。这可所以因为他们说的词汇你并不知道。
Now this could be because they're using words that you don't recognise. Maybe because you don't know a lot about this topic, perhaps it could be because their accent is a little different to what you're used to so it's a bit tricky.
或许是因为你不太晓得这个论题，或许是因为他们的口音和你比照习气的口音不太相同，所以就有点点难度。所以在这些情况中，你可以说：
So in these situations, you could say: "I'm sorry, I didn't catch that."
“不好心思，我没听懂。”“你能再说一遍吗？”
"Could you repeat what you said?" "I'm sorry. I'm not following you."
“不好心思，我没听懂。”所以当咱们不了解或人是啥意思的时分，当有点点不理解，或许是有点利诱的时分，就要用这个表达。
So we use this expression when we don't understand what someone means, when it's a little unclear or you're a little confused. I don't think I understood your question.
我觉得我不了解你的疑问。你能再说一遍吗？
Can you repeat that??What about when you are talking with someone but suddenly you forget your own words or you forget what you've been talking about after you've already started talking, right?
那当你和别人攀谈，可是俄然之间忘掉自个要说啥，或许是在初步攀谈之后忘掉自个该说啥了的话，那该怎么办呢？这种情况是最差的情况，因为其他的人正在看着你。
It's the worst because the other person is looking at you. They're waiting for you to continue.
他们等着你持续说话。他们的留心力悉数在你的身上，可是你却忘掉自个要说啥了。
Their full focus is on you and you've lost your words. It's just awkward silence.
俄然堕入了为难的缄默沉静。这种情况会发生在每自个身上。
This does happen to everyone. Sometimes things are just so bad, the best thing to do is just hit the reset button.
有时分情况就是这么糟糕，能做的最佳的作业就是按一下重启键。我很快就会介绍该怎么说，可是首要想问一下我们，假定忘掉该说啥的话，能怎么说呢？
Now I'm gonna talk about that in a minute but firstly what can you say when you forget your words? Listen to what I say but also watch how I say it.
听一下我说了啥，也要留心我是怎么说的。这非常重要。
It's really important. What's that word again?
那个词是啥来着？就在我嘴边。
It's on the tip of my tongue. We use this idiom to describe that really familiar feeling, you know, when we've lost a word but it's so, so close in our minds, it's like right there.
咱们会运用这个习语来描绘非常类似的感触，你懂得，当咱们不晓得说啥，可是就在咱们的脑际中，就在那里。咱们就是想不出来，你在非常尽力地记起来究竟是啥词。
We just can't get to it, you know, you're trying to remember that word. I'm sorry, I've had a mental blank.
不好心思，我的大脑俄然一片空白。我不记住那个单词用英语怎么说了。
I can't remember the word in English. Now at this point, the person that you're talking to will probably try and help you to remember or remind you of the word.
在这时呢，和你对话的那自个可以会试着协助你记起来，或许是提示你那个单词。你甚至可以说“我不晓得那用英语大约怎么说！或许你可以协助我一下，我来说明一下我想要说啥。”
You could even say "I have no idea how to say this in English! Maybe you can help me if I explain what I'm trying to say." But even if you can't find the word, don't let it stop you.
可是即便你想不到那个单词，也不要因而中止脚步。就说一句“太烦了，没联络的......”就行了。
Simply say something like "That's so annoying. Nevermind. . ." And then change the topic.
然后改动论题。你可以说：
You could say: "Let's move on."
“让咱们持续吧。”这可以协助你改动论题，在对话中持续交流。
This will help you to change the topic and keep moving forward in your conversation. Now sometimes it's not just a word that you've forgotten but you've completely forgotten what you were talking about at all and I really hate that 
feeling.
有时分不只是忘掉一个单词，你可以完全忘掉了自个在说啥，我真的很厌烦那种感触。你初步感到惊惧，因为你不晓得你不晓得对话进行到哪里了是吧？你完全迷失了。
You start panicking because you don't know where you're going in the conversation right? You're lost. Maybe you've been completely tongue-tied so you need to restart. You need to hit that reset button.
可以你舌头完全打结了，所以你需要从头初步。你需要按下重启键。你只需要说明发生了啥，可以笑一笑，你在这么说的时分可以面带笑脸，因为要记住，这种作业会发生在一切人身上。
You just need to explain what's happened and probably have a laugh as well, you know, you should always say these ones with a smile on your face because remember this happens to everyone. Hang on. Let me start over!
等一下。让咱们从头初步吧！让我再试一次啊。
Let me try that again. Oh man! I completely lost my train of thought there. . .
天哪！我的大脑完全一片空白了......不好心思，我完全忘掉自个在说啥了。
I'm so sorry, I've completely forgotten what I was talking about. Hopefully, it'll come back to me in a few moments.
期望几分钟之内我就可以想起来。这是一个非常好的信号或许是对话条理，可以告诉别人在你尽力回想自个想要说啥的时分，他们大约接过话茬。
Now this is a great signal or a great conversation cue to tell the other person that they should try and take over the conversation while you're trying to think of what you wanted to say. Hopefully, it'll come back to me in a moment.
期望我很快就可以想起来。假定你暗示你在思考或许是需要额定的时刻的话，另外一自个就大约在这儿插话。
Now if you suggest that you're thinking or you need that extra time, the other person should interject. Honesty is really important in conversations.
诚真实交流的时分非常重要。当你说明发生了啥的时分，一切人都可以了解，是吧？
When you explain what's happened then everyone else understands, right?
If someone
is listening to you speak and then you somehow get stuck, well all of the expressions that we just went through are going to help explain what happened and then give clues to the person who's listening to you so that they can help you out.
假定有人在听你说话，然后你不晓得怎么回事就俄然卡壳了的话，那咱们方才学习的表达都可以协助说明发生了啥，然后会给另外一个听你说话的人发送信号，这样他们就可以帮你脱节窘境了。一个很小很小的提示，对话并不是一次查验。
A teeny, tiny, little reminder, a conversation is not a test. The other person is not there to challenge you or to make you mess up or to make fun of you.
另外一自个并不想应战你或许是让你尴尬，或许是讪笑你。他们会协助你持续对话，假定你给予他们正确的条理的话。
They're going to help you to keep going in your conversation if you give them the right clues. If you help them to understand what's happening then they can help you to find the right word or to change the topic.
假定你协助他们了解发生了啥，然后他们就可以协助你找出正确的词汇或许是改动论题。这是英文对话中非常正常的一有些，说厚道话，这在你英语流利之旅中发生许多次，就算你说的流利了，也会发生这种情况，所以你们看到这节课现已极好了，你们可以获得就算搞砸了，也可以持续进行成功对?璧亩鳌?/span>
This is a completely normal part of English conversation and let's be honest, it's going to happen to you a lot on your journey towards English fluency and it's gonna happen to you once you're fluent too so it's a really good thing that you're here and you're getting the tools that you need to have successful conversations even if you mess up. There are plenty of times when you just don't know what to say, right?
有太多时分你会不晓得自个要说啥，对吧？因为你并没有预备好，或许是之前没有想过这个论题或许是这个疑问。
Because you're not prepared or you've never thought about this topic or question before. You just have no idea what to say, right?
你根柢不晓得要说啥，对吧？所以你需要一点时刻。
So you need to buy some time. You need a little bit of extra time to think about your answer and there are tons of different expressions that we use in English when this happens.
你需要一点额定的时刻来思考你的答案，当这种情况发生的时分，有许多不一样的表达咱们可以运用。让咱们思考一下下。
Let me think about that for a minute. That's an interesting question, let me think. . .
这个疑问很风趣，让我想一下......这有点点难......我之前历来没有被问过这个疑问。
That's tricky. . . I've never been asked that before. I'm not sure! Give me a second to think about it.
我也不晓得！给我点时刻让我想一下吧。给我点时刻想一下如何用英语说明吧！
Give me a moment to think about how to explain that in English! All of these sentences will give you some extra time just a few seconds so that you can take a deep breath. You can get your thoughts in order and you can think about what you need to say next.
这些语句会给你额定的时刻，就几秒钟的时刻，这样你就可以做个深呼吸。你可以从头收拾一下自个的思路，你可以想一下接下来要说啥。假定你在一个小组里边的话，你甚至可以把疑问转向另外一自个。
If you're in a group, you could even direct the question towards someone else. I need some time to think about that.
我需要一点时刻来思考一下。其别人有答案了吗？
Does anyone else have an answer ready? You're sending the question on to someone else.
这样的话你就把疑问抛给别人了。另外一个非常常见的情况，特别是当你在作业傍边，有人问你让你共享一下自个关于某件作业的定见或许是主意，可是让你非常措手不及。
Another really common situation especially when you're at work is when someone asks you to share an opinion or an idea about something but may catch you off guard. You don't have anything ready to share with them about this topic, right? You don't know what to say so you freeze. You start searching for words but in that moment it feels like every English word has escaped from your brain and gone somewhere else.
你根柢没啥预备好关于这个论题要和他们共享啥，对吧？你不晓得说啥，所以就呆若木鸡了。你初步查找词汇，可是在那个片刻间感触每个英语单词都从你的脑际中溜走，去了其他的当地。所以在这种情况下，你可以试着把疑问抛回给他们。
So in this situation, you can try to return the question to them. I've never thought about that before. What about you?
我之前历来没有思考过。那你呢？那有点难啊......
That's tricky. . . I've never been asked a question like that before.
我之前历来没被问过这个疑问。你觉得呢？
What do you think? Or even more casually, you could say:
或许甚至是愈加随意一点，你可以说：“那你是怎么想的呢？”
"What's your take?" Or "What are your thoughts?" Now this does two things.
这样做有两个作用。另外一自个可以会初步说话，对吧？
The other person is going to start talking, right? So you'll have some time to think about your answer while they do that but if you don't already have an opinion about this topic or some ideas that you want to share, you can get some ideas from what they're saying.
所以在他们说话的时分，你就会有点时刻思考你的答案，可是假定你关于这个论题并没有啥定见或许是主意想要共享的话，你可以从他们说的话里边得到一些主意。他们会启示你思考某件作业，可以你会附和或许是不附和他们说了啥。
They'll inspire you to think about something, you know, maybe you'll agree or disagree with what they've said. Lastly, you might find yourself in a situation where you're talking but you notice the face of the other person changing.
最终，你可以发现自个在说话的时分，别人的气色变了。他们看起来并不了解你。
They don't seem to be understanding you. That's okay!
没联络的！可所以你的错，可是也有可所以他们的错。
It might be your fault but it could also be them. So if you feel like this is happening, you could say a few different things.
所以假定这种作业发生了的话，你可以有不一样的说法。我说的话讲得通吗？
Am I making sense? This is a great question to ask if you want to check and allow them to ask a question to you, you know, have a break to check with you.
假定你想要招认一下，还能让他们问你一个疑问的话，这是一个极好的疑问，这样的?蔷涂梢杂谢岛湍阏腥弦幌隆Ｎ也幌梦宜档美斫獠焕斫猓宜档美斫饴穑?/span>
I don't think I'm being very clear, am I? Let's try that again.
让咱们再说一遍吧。不好心思，我觉得我可以把你给说迷糊了。
Sorry I think I'm confusing you. What I'm trying to say is. . .
我想说的是......这个表达可以让你以不一样的方法复述一下自个的观念，协助其他的人了解你。
Now this expression allows you to rephrase your ideas in a different way to help the other person to understand you. It's really, really useful. Try and remember it.
这真的非常非常有用。试着记住吧。好的，我们如今晓得了二十七个当你们被英语对话困住的时分可以协助你们表达了。
So there you have it, twenty-seven practical expressions to help you when you get stuck in English conversations. I hope that they give you the confidence to join more English conversations and they help you to keep your conversations going for longer.
我期望它们可以给你决心参加更多的英语对话，可以协助你的对话持续进行。假定你喜爱这节课程的话，记住必定要害赞，共享给兄弟们哦。
