This is friendly John. John can talk to anyone, everyone loves having him around.
约翰特别友好。约翰会和任何人交谈，每个人都喜欢有他在旁边。
And hes always the first person invited to a party because hes so friendly. But what other words can we use to describe him?
而且他总是第一个被邀请参加聚会的人，因为他人真的是太好了。但我们还能用什么词来形容他呢？
Drop an adjective down in the comments, an adjective that you would use instead of friendly. I would say that John is quite charming.
在评论中写下一个形容词吧，一个你会用来代替 friendly 的形容词。我想说，约翰是相当有魅力的。
Charming. Pay attention to that CH sound at the beginning of the word.
有魅力的。请注意单词开头的那个CH音。
Charming. Its that big open mouth vowel, charming.
有魅力的。就是大张着嘴的元音，有魅力的。
Charming people can talk to anyone and their conversations are fun and interesting, its so easy to talk to charming people. Its so easy to talk to John.
有魅力的人可以和任何人交谈，他们的谈话很有趣，很有意思，和有魅力的人交流是很轻松的。和约翰谈话非常轻松。
Hes charming.The structure that were using here is really simple.
他很有魅力。我们在这里使用的结构很简单。
Subject, linking verb and adjective. He is charming.
主语、连接动词和形容词。他很有魅力。
But you can also say that John is a charming guy or a charming person. If hes so friendly and hes so charming then hes probably quite sociable.
但你也可以说，约翰是一个有魅力的人。如果他非常友好，非常有魅力，那么他可能很善于交际。
Hear the stressed syllable there? Sociable.
听到重读音节了吗？善于交际的。
Sociable people love being around other people. They usually seek them out and they seem to thrive in conversations.
善于交际的人喜欢与他人相处。他们喜欢去人多的地方，他们可以在对话中侃侃而谈。
John loves going to all the events and all the parties. He is sociable.
约翰喜欢去参加所有的活动和聚会。他很善于交际。
For natural pronunciation practice, lets use the contraction here and say hes sociable. Now because the two consonants are the same, the same sound, they merge together.
为了练习自然发音，那就让我们在这里使用缩写吧，直接说他善于交际。因为这两个辅音是相同的，是同一个音，所以它们会合并在一起。
He is sociable becomes hes sociable. Hes sociable.
He is sociable 变成了 hes sociable。他很善于交际。
And lastly, friendly people like John can be described as welcoming. Now for those of you who struggle with this sound really focus on that /w/ sound.
最后，像约翰这样友好的人可以说是欢迎的。对于觉得发这个音很困难的人来说，要多加注意这个/w/音。
No teeth involved, no teeth touching. Its not/v/ bu t/w/.
不要碰到牙齿。不是/v/，而是/w/。
If you need to, get a little bit of air from deep down in your stomach and push that out to make the sound. Welcoming.
如果你需要的话，可以从胃部深处获得一点空气，然后把空气推出去发出声音。受人欢迎的。
Someone whos welcoming is going to make you feel like you belong there the moment you walk into the room. They make you feel accepted and happy.
好客的人在你走进房间的那一刻就会让你觉得宾至如归。他们会让你感到被接受，感受到快乐。
Hes so welcoming. The minute we walked into the room he came over to give us a big hug and a huge smile.
他非常热情。我们一走进房间，他就走过来给我们一个大大的拥抱和一个巨大的微笑。
Meet Sally. Shes fun.
认识一下莎莉吧。她很有意思。
Sally is the first one to get up to dance when the music plays. She loves travelling and going to different cafes and restaurants and if youre having a bad day, shell usually have a joke or two up her sleeve to cheer you up.
音乐响起时，莎莉是第一个起身跳舞的人。她喜欢旅行，喜欢去不同的咖啡馆和餐馆，如果你今天心情不好的话，她会说上一两个笑话让你高兴起来。
There are some great adjectives that you can use to describe people like Sally. If you can think of any, let me know down in the comments below.
有一些很好的形容词以用来描述像莎莉这样的人。如果你能想到什么的话，请在下面的评论中告诉我吧。
But my first one is chirpy. And theres that CH sound again.
我能想到的第一个词是活泼的。还有 CH 这个音。
Chirpy. Notice specifically that that vowel sound in the stressed syllable is not a short sound, its ER as in her.
活泼的。大家要特别注意，重读音节中的元音不是短音，而是 her 中的 ER 音。
Chirpy not chippy or chirpy. Chirpy.
是 chirpy，而不是 chippy，也不是 chirpy。活泼的。
Try it. If someones chirpy, theyre really happy, theyre lively, theyre excited about the day ahead.
试一下。如果一个人很活泼的话，他们整天很开心，对未来的日子非常激动。
She looked so chirpy when she arrived at the office today! Now Im using the verb looked here but it doesnt mean that it was the colour of her hair or clothes or her facial features that made her look chirpy.
她今天来到办公室时，看起来非常精神抖擞！现在我在这里用的是动词 look，但这并不意味着是她的头发、衣服的颜色或面部特征使她看起来很有活力。
It just means that shes showing the qualities of someone who is happy and lively and that it comes across in this way. And we often use verbs like this when we dont know for sure about that personality.
这只是意味着她有快乐和活泼的品质，而且是以这种方式表现出来的。而当我们对这种性格不确定的时候，我们经常使用这样的动词。
You can tell what theyre like by little small things, the things that they do and the way that they act. Another really great adjective to describe someone whos fun is to say that theyre adventurous.
你可以从一些小事上看出他们是什么样的人，比如说他们所做的事情和他们的行为方式。描述有趣的人的另一个很棒的形容词是：他们很有冒险精神。
Listen to that stressed syllable, adventurous. So adventurous people are the ones who are always willing to try new and different things which makes life exciting and fun.
要好好听重读音节，很有冒险精神的。富有冒险精神的人是那些愿意尝试新的和不同的事情的人，这会让生活更加令人兴奋，更加有意思。
We always have a good time when Sally organises our trips because shes quite adventurous. We do things that we wouldnt normally do.
当莎莉组织我们的旅行时，我们总是很开心，因为她很有冒险精神。我们会做一些我们通常不会做的事情。
The last adjective that Ive chosen to describe someone who is fun is witty. Now I wonder if youve heard this adjective before.
我选择的最后一个形容词是妙趣横生的，用来描述很有意思的人。我想知道你以前是否听说过这个形容词。
Witty. Im sure you know someone whos quite witty, who is quick-witted.
妙趣横生的我相信你肯定会认识妙趣横生的人，非常地聪明机敏。
Theyre the people who are really quick to respond and theyre really funny when they speak just instantly, they have great humorous calls. Sometimes we call it banter when you can have a really great conversation back and forth with someone.
他们反应非常快，他们说话真的很有趣，他们瞬间就能想到很有意思的事情。有时，当你与某人来回地进行非常精彩的对话时，我们称之为打趣。
Theyre smart, they make you laugh, theyre entertaining, you know theyre really fun to talk to. Oh Sally? I love chatting with Sally.
他们很聪明，他们会让你笑，他们可以把人给逗乐，和他们聊天很有意思。哦，莎莉吗？我很喜欢和莎莉聊天。
Shes so witty and entertaining. Meet kind Ella.
她总是很妙趣横生，让人很开心。认识一下非常友好的艾拉吧。
If you dont understand how something works, shell happily take the time to explain it to you. Shell share her lunch with you, shell help you out with some extra cash if you need it.
如果你不明白某些东西是怎么一回事的话，她会很乐意花时间向你解释。她会和你分享她的午餐，如果你需要的话，她会为你提供一些额外的现金。
If you know someone like Ella, you can definitely say that this person is kind but another way to describe her is generous. Lets break that down a little.
如果你认识像艾拉这样的人的话，你肯定可以说这个人很善良，但另一种描述她的方式是慷慨大方。让我们把它分解一下。
That sound is the same consonant sound as at the start of jam or jump. Generous.
这个音与 jam 或 jump 开头的辅音相同。慷慨大方的。
Wheres the stress? Which syllable has the stress?
重音在哪里？重音在哪个音节上？
Generous. Much stronger on the first syllable, right?
慷慨大方的。第一个音节是是更重的，对吧？
Generous people are usually happy to share their time or their energy or their money with you because theyre quite giving. Ella seems like a really generous person.
慷慨的人通常很乐意与你分享他们的时间或精力或金钱，因为他们很有奉献精神。艾拉看起来是一个非常慷慨的人。
She often brings biscuits and cakes into the office to share with everyone. Now Im using a different verb there, arent I?
她经常把饼干和蛋糕带到办公室，与大家分享。我在这句使用了一个不同的动词，对吧？
Seems, is, looks and seems are all linking verbs so theyre words that give more information about the subject and in this context, seem has a really similar meaning to look. Were taking a guess or were assuming something about the person because of the behaviour that we observe in them.
Seems, is, looks 和 seems 都是连接动词，也就是提供关于主语的更多信息的词，在这种情况下，seem 与 look 的意思非常相似。我们在进行猜测，或者因为我们在他们身上观察到的行为而对这个人做出一些假设。
Were saying that the person has said or has done some things that make us feel like they are a certain way. It feels like theyre that person, they seem like a generous person.
我们说，这个人说过或做过一些事情，让我们感觉他们是这样的人。感觉他们是那样的一个人，他们似乎是一个慷慨的人。
Another great adjective is considerate. Wheres the stress there?
另一个很棒的形容词是体贴的。这里的重音在哪里呢？
And importantly, where is there not stress? Considerate.
重要的是，哪个音不重读呢？体贴的。
Its a short vowel sound but the other ones drop back, we hear that schwa sound coming in again. Considerate.
这是一个短元音，但其他的元音是往后收的，我们又听到了中元音。体贴的。
Considerate people show concern for others, they think about how a situation or something might affect someone else. Ella seems considerate.
体贴的人会表现出对他人的关心，他们会考虑到某种情况或某件事情可能会影响到其他人。艾拉看起来很体贴。
She often offers to drop her colleagues home from work when its raining. Thoughtful is our last adjective here.
下雨时，她经常主动提出送同事下班回家。周到的是我们可以使用的最后一个形容词。
Listen to that vowel sound in the stressed syllable thoughtful like in door. Thoughtful.
听听 thoughtful 这个词重读音节中的元音，和 door 是一样的。周到的。
Thoughtful people are always thinking about others around them, theyre paying attention to them, theyre thinking about what they might need or what they might want. Ella organised a party on my last day in the office.
周到的人总是在为身边的人考虑，他们会关注别人，他们在思考别人可能需要什么或可能想要什么。艾拉在我离职前一天组织了一个聚会。
She is so thoughtful. This is Ray.
她非常周到。这是雷。
Hes really understanding. When theres a disagreement between people, Ray is the person who can see both sides.
他真的很善解人意。当人们之间有分歧时，雷能看到双方的意见。
Hes the colleague or the manager who will give you a break if youve had a rough day. You could definitely describe him as compassionate.
作为同事和经理，如果你今天不太好的话，他会让你休息一下。你可以把他描述为有同情心的人。
Listen again for that stress, compassionate. And importantly, where there is less stress where you see those schwa sounds.
再听一下重音，富有同情心的。重要的是，中元音的重读是要减轻的。
Compassionate. Compassionate is similar to considerate where youre really thinking about the people around you and youre doing things to show them that you care or in Rays case, that you understand their situation.
富有同情心的。同情心这个词和体贴很类似，你会为周围的人着想，你做的事情会向他们表明你很关心他们，或者在雷的例子中，你可以理解他们的处境。
Theres a warmth and theres comfort that comes with being near to or surrounded by compassionate people. She had no chance of getting the job but Ray spent a long time explaining to her why she didnt get the job.
靠近或被富有同情心的人所包围，会有一种温暖和安慰的感觉。她没有得到这份工作，但雷花了很长时间向她解释为什么她没有得到这份工作。
Hes incredibly compassionate. Just like the word really, using the adverb incredibly before an adjective is gonna really lift your description up.
他真的好有同情心。就像真的这个词一样，在形容词前使用副词难以置信地会让你的描述更加生动。
Its gonna emphasise that meaning of the adjective. Hes incredibly compassionate.
它可以对形容词的意思加以强调。他真的好有同情心。
Heres a great one. Empathetic.
这里有个很好的词。有同情心的。
Nice one. Now I can hear you wondering, questioning in your head.
很好。我可以听到你可能在想，在你的脑海中可能在质疑。
Pathetic is a negative adjective right but empathetic is a positive one. Empathetic people they understand how someone else feels because they can imagine themselves in that same situation.
可悲的是一个负面的形容词，但有同情心的是一个正面的形容词。有同情心的人可以理解别人的感受，因为他们可以想象自己处于同样的情况是什么样子的。
They can put themselves in someone elses shoes, you know that idiom right? To put yourself in someone elses shoes.
他们能设身处地为别人着想，你知道这个俚语吧？设身处地为他人着想。
Its the perfect idiom for the adjective empathetic. Ray is a great person to talk to when youre going through a rough time.
这是形容词富有同情心所对应的的习语。当你经历艰难的时刻时，雷是一个很好的谈话对象。
Hes so empathetic. Were getting a little more serious here.
他非常具有同情心。我们开始变得有点严肃了。
We have diplomatic. Diplomatic.
我们有圆通的这个词。圆通的。
Wheres that stress? Diplomatic.
重音在哪里？圆通的。
People who are diplomatic can deal with others in a really sensitive way, in a way that doesnt upset them. Ray managed to create a peaceful resolution for both sides.
圆通得体的人能够以非常敏感的方式与他人打交道，不会让人感到不开心。雷设法为双方创造了一个和平的解决方案。
Hes really diplomatic. And again, Ive just thrown an adverb in there to modify that adjective, its a really great way to emphasise the meaning of the adjective.
他非常圆通得体。同样地，我加了一个副词来修饰形容词，这是一个强调形容词含义的好方法。
Hes really diplomatic. Hes incredibly compassionate.
他非常圆通得体。他非常具有同情心。
This is Mia. Shes smart, shes the person you go to when youve got a problem that you need help solving.
这是米娅。她很聪明，当你遇到需要帮助解决的问题时，就可以去找她。
Shes always wanting to learn more. She has lots of different ideas and goals and shes good at making decisions.
她总是想要学习更多。她有很多不同的想法和目标，她很会做决定。
Can you think of any other adjectives to describe Mia? Mia is astute.
你能想到其他形容词来描述米娅吗？米娅很聪明。
Astute. So that second syllable is the one thats stressed and in there we can hear a little /j/ sound thats been added.
精明的。第二个音节是重音，我们可以听到加上了一个/j/的音。
Can you hear it? Astute.
你能听到吗？精明的。
Thats in my accent and in most British English accents but you will hear some American accents pronouncing this word as astute. Now what is astute?
这是我的口音，也是大多数英国人的口音，但你会听到一些美国口音的人把这个词读成 astute。精明的是什么意思？
Whats an astute person? Theyre really good at judging situations and people quite quickly and they use their knowledge to benefit them in some way.
什么样的人是精明的呢？他们很擅长对情况和人进行迅速的判断，而且他们可以利用自己的知识在某种程度上对为自己服务。

有野心的。中间的音节是重读的。
Ambitious people are really determined to succeed. Theyre driven to reach their goals.
有野心的人决心要成功。他们有动力去实现自己的目标。
Mias actually determined to be CEO of the company. Shes a really ambitious woman.
米娅下定决心要成为公司的CEO。她是一个很有野心的女人。
Heres another great adjective. Resourceful.
还有一个很好的形容词。足智多谋的。
Notice that Z sound? Resourceful not resource-ful but resourceful.
注意到了 Z 这个音吗？读音是/rɪˈzɔːsfʊl/。
Resourceful. Resourceful people are able to use whatever they have at the time to solve problems or to reach their goals so clever people, smart people are often quite resourceful and as we know, Mia is quite a resourceful person.
足智多谋的。足智多谋的人能够利用他们当时拥有的东西来解决问题或达到他们的目标，所以聪明的人往往非常足智多谋，正如我们所知的，米娅是一个非常足智多谋的人。
The projector wasnt working during her presentation so she printed out copies quickly and gave them to everyone. Shes very resourceful.
在她的演讲过程中，投影仪不运转了，所以她迅速打印了副本并分发给大家。她非常有办法。
She solves problems quickly. This structure, one that we mentioned earlier actually, Mia is a resourceful person, is slightly more formal.
她能迅速解决问题。这个结构其实我们之前提到过，米娅是一个足智多谋的人这个表达会稍微正式一些。
Its still really frequently used, it sounds natural but its probably a little bit more professional than just saying shes resourceful. Mias resourceful.
这句话真的经常用，听起来很自然，但可能比直接说她足智多谋更专业一点。米娅非常足智多谋。
Shes quite a resourceful person. Just a little bit more professional.
她是一个非常有头脑的人。会更专业一点。
And this is Sam. Hes hard working.
这是山姆。他工作很努力。
He completes his tasks on time, he produces high-quality work. He stays late when he needs to and he takes charge of projects to make sure that they get done, he puts all of his effort into his work.
他按时完成任务，工作质量很高。他在需要的时候会待到很晚，他负责的项目会确保项目完成，他把所有的精力都放在了工作上。
Now there are some really great adjectives to describe someone like Sam. We would say hes quite organised.
有一些很好的形容词来描述像山姆这样的人。我们会说他很有组织性。
Listening for the stress. Organised.

So again, this structure is a little longer, its just as effective and has the same meaning as she looks organised. Its just a little more formal right?
同样地，这个结构有点长，不过同样有效，而且和她看起来有组织性有相同的含义。它只是更正式一点，对吗？
He looks like an organised man. He looks like an organised person.
