Hello, my name is Emma,
大家好，我是艾玛，
and I have a very exciting video for you today.
今天我要为你们展示一个很棒的视频。
In today's video, we are going to learn about a very important term we use when we're talking about the past.
在今天的视频中，我们要学习一个很重要的术语，在我们讨论过去的时候会用到这个术语。
That term is "used to".
这个术语就是“used to（过去常常）。”
So, we use this term, like I said, a lot about talking about the past.
所以就像我说的，我们在谈论过去的时候，会常用到这个术语。
In today's video, we're going to have fun with it.
在今天的视频中，我们将通过学习这个术语来获得乐趣。
I'm going to talk about how I do things now
我要谈谈我现在是怎么做事的，
and then I'm going to use "used to" to talk about what I did in the past, okay?
然后，我会用“used to”来谈谈我过去做过什么，好吗？
So, you're going to learn about my fashion, my hobbies, all sorts of things that have changed over time.
所以，你将要了解我的时尚、我的爱好，以及所有随着时间而改变的东西。
So, let's get started by talking about fashion.
我们先从时尚开始吧。
Now, I usually wear a lot of flower dresses.
现在，我常穿花裙子。
I wear a lot of dresses, I love flowers the most,
我常穿裙子，而且我最喜欢花裙子，
so if you watch a lot of my videos,
所以如果你观看过我很多的视频，
you'll probably notice Emma really likes flowers,
你可能会观察到艾玛真的很喜欢花裙子，
and that's true.
那是真的。
That's now, but in the past, a long time ago,
这是现在的情况，但是在过去，很久以前，
I didn't wear flower dresses at all.
我根本不穿花裙子。
What did I wear?
那我穿什么？
Well, I used to wear very, very short skirts.
我以前常穿（I used to wear）非常短的短裙。
I would never wear these short skirts anymore,
我再也不穿这些短裙了，
but in the past, I used to wear short skirts.
但过去我常穿（I used to wear）短裙。
So, just to talk about grammar for a second and we'll go back to the fashion,
所以，我们花一点时间谈谈语法，一会再回到时尚的话题，
you'll notice
你会注意到，
what I'm doing is I'm saying "I used to"
我现在做的事情就是我在讲“I used to（我过去常常）”
and then right after I have the verb, which in this case is "wear",
然后我在后面加了动词，在这个例子中，动词是“wear（穿）”，
and I'm not doing anything to the verb. I'm not adding "-ed" to it, I'm not changing the tense,
而且我不会对这个动词制作任何事情。我不会给它加上“-ed”，我不会改变时态，
I'm just keeping it as you would in in the "now" form, I'm just adding "I used to" in front of it,
我只会让这个动词保持住“现在”的形式，只会在这个动词的前面加上“I used to（我过去常常）”，
so again, I wear flower dresses now, I used to wear short skirts.
所以再说一遍，我现在穿花裙子，我过去常穿短裙（I used to wear short skirts）。
What else did I use to do, or what about what I do now?
我过去还常做什么事，那现在又做什么事情?
