教案：

Hi! Welcome to class today
欢迎来到今天的课程

Our slang has to do with bugs, insect. I love insect, but they are really annoying sometimes
我们今天的俚语是关于虫子的。我特别喜欢昆虫,但是它们有的时候也很烦人

so if someone is bothering you, you can say they are bugging you 如果有人在打扰你,你可以说他们在bugging你

And if you want someone to stop bother you, you can say "hey, quit bugging me"
如果你想让某人停止打扰你,你可以对他说 quit bugging me

And another slang that uses the word "bug," is "bug out"
另外一个有bug的俚语是bug out

You know most bugs, they have really big eyes, like they're surprised all the time
你知道吧,很多虫子有很大的眼睛,看上去好像很惊讶的样子

Well, that's kind of what it means. When someone bugs out, they're becoming really frightened
和它附有的含义有些关联。当一个人bug out,他会变得很害怕

and wildly excited, think about how bugs act when you wave your hand at them
并且很激动,你可以想想当你用手驱赶虫子的时候,它们是什么样的

If you're acting all scared and running around, that means you're "bugging out"
所以当你很害怕,到处乱跑,你很惊恐

So, that's our slang for today. It's a little short. If someone's bothering you,they're bugging you
这就是今天的俚语,稍微有些短。如果有人打扰你,他们在bug你。

and if you are just going crazy because you're worried about something,you're bugging out
如果你很惊恐,你在bug out

Now let's look at sentence structure. Our example sentence is
现在让我们来看看句型。我们的例句是

"depending on how surprised Betty is about the news, she may bug out when we visit her"
根据贝蒂对这个消息的惊讶程度,她看到我们的时候可能会惊恐

"Depending on a, B may C" Or "depending on how hot is it, Fred may wear shorts to school"
根据A的程度,B可能会C。或者 根据冷热程度,弗莱德可能会穿短裤去上学

So, you don't really…well, you have to figure out by thinking about the words, what the sentence means.
你需要去想明白句子和单词的意思是什么

"depending on how hot it is, he might wear shorts." So you know people wear shorts when it's hot
根据冷热程度,他可能会穿短裤。你知道如果热的话,我们会穿短裤

So if it is hot, he will wear shorts. You can also use the same sentence a different way
所以如果外面很热,他会穿短裤。你也可以通过不同的方式去用同一个句子

"Depending on how hot it is, Fred may wear long pants"
根据冷热程度,弗莱德有可能穿长裤

In this case, it means, "if it's cold, Fred will wear long pants"
在这里的含义是 如果外面冷,弗莱德会穿长裤

You have to think about the words sometimes. One more example of this sentence structure is
你有的时候需要去想单词。另外一个例子是

"depending on what kind of food you like, you may want to try that restaurant"
根据你喜欢的食物类别,你或许想去试试那家饭店。

These sentences are very good to use with people you don't know very well,because, well, you don't know what they like
这些句子很适用于和你不太了解的人交流,因为你不太清楚他们喜欢什么

So you say, maybe you'll like it, maybe you won't
所以你可以说 或许你会喜欢,或许你不会

That's our sentence structure for today. Our etymology for today is "ambi"A-M-B-I
这就是我们今天的句型。我们今天的词根是ambi

The first word I think of is Ambiance. A-M-B-I-A-N-C-E. It means the mood or feeling of the room
第一个我能想到的词是ambiance。它的意思是一个房间里的氛围。

Which is perfect, because the root "ambi-" means both, or on both sides, or all around
Ambi这个词根的意思是两边的,或者周边的

So an ambiance is a feeling that you can feel around you. For example,this room feels very relaxed
所以ambiance是你可以感受到的。例如 这个房间感觉很随意

It has a relaxed ambiance. There aren't very many people around, there's lots of space, that's the ambiance
它有一个很放松的氛围。周围没有很多人,有很多空间,这就是氛围。

Another word that starts with "ambi-" is "ambidextrous." "Dexter" means right
另外一个由ambi开始的单词是ambidextrous（双手都灵巧的）。Dexter的意思是右侧

And, well, people used to have to always write with their right hand,because that was considered the correct way
人们习惯了用右手写字,因为这被默认为正确的方式

Now, of course, we can write with either
当然,我们可以用两只手的任何一只去写字

But the people who were ambidextrous, well, the word means that they can use both hands just like their right hand
针对双手都灵巧的人来讲,这个单词的意思是他们的左手也像右手一样灵巧

So an ambidextrous person can write with their right hand, or with their left. Sounds pretty cool
一个双手都灵巧的人可以用右手或者左手写字。听上去很酷吧

And another word that uses the word "ambi-" is "ambiguity"
另外一个含ambi的单词是ambiguity（模棱两可）

When something is ambiguous, it's kind of not clear what side they're supporting
当一件事模棱两可,很难知道一个人支持哪面

or which side something belongs to, because it sounds like it could belong on both sides
或者某物属于哪方面,因为听上去好像两边都可以

It is ambiguous, because remember, "ambi-" means both sides, or all around
它是模棱两可的。记住,ambi的意思是两边的,周边的

So, for example, if someone says, "Well, apples are really crunchy and delicious, and oranges are really juicy and delicious
例如有人说,苹果很脆很好吃,橘子很多汁很好吃

you won't really know which one they like. They're being very ambiguous about which one they prefer
你不太知道他们更喜欢哪一个。他们很模棱两可

And one word that is kind of surprising is "ambitious." "Ambitious" means you are very driven
另外一个例子是ambitious。它的意思是有雄心的

You are going to try very hard to succeed. And the word comes from "ambi-" meaning around
你很努力向成功进步。Ambi的意思是周边的

so you're walking around, you're talking to both kinds of people, you're talking to lots of people
所以你走出去,跟各种人交流

because you want to have a high official status. So people that go around and talk to lots of people are ambitious, and want to achieve great things
因为你想拥有一个高的地位。有雄心的人会和各种人交流,并且想有很大的成就

So I was a little surprised by that one, but if you think about it, it makes sense
这个词有些奇特,但是如果仔细想想的话,其实还是有道理的

So remember, "ambi-" means "both sides," or "all around"
所以记住,ambi的意思是两边的,周边的
