Hello and welcome to 6 Minute Vocabulary with me Finn.
欢迎收听六分钟词汇，我是费恩。
And I'm Catherine. In today's programme we're going to look at i-n-g and e-d adjectives.
我是爱丽丝。本期我们要学的是 i-n-g 和 e-d 的形容词。
So if you're interested in vocabulary, but you find some adjectives confusing, keep listening.
因此，如果你对词汇表感兴趣，但是发现一些形容词令人困惑，请继续听。
Yes, keep listening, and it's on with the show! I must say, Finn, you're looking very relaxed today.
是的，请继续收听，正在播放中！我必须说，芬恩，你今天看起来很放松。
Oh really? Well, maybe that's because I was on holiday last week. It was very relaxing.
真的吗？好吧，也许是因为我上周在度假。非常放松。
Speaking of holidays, here are two people who had a bad time on holiday. What went wrong?
说到假期，这里有两个人假期过得不好。什么地方出了错？
The train was horrible. Big gangs of teenagers playing music on their phones — I got very annoyed.
火车太糟糕了。一大群青少年在手机上播放音乐让我觉得很生气。
The flight was delayed and we had ten really boring hours in the airport with nothing to do.
航班延误了，我们在机场度过了无聊的10个小时，无事可做。
Not much fun, eh? So, the man was annoyed, or angry, about teenagers playing music. And the woman had a long and boring wait in the airport.
不好玩，是吗？因此，这个人对青少年播放音乐感到恼火或生气。这个女人在机场等了很久，很无聊。
So let's have a closer look. Here's the woman again.
再仔细听一遍。听这个女人的说什么。
The flight was delayed and we had ten really boring hours in the airport with nothing to do.
航班延误了，我们在机场度过了无聊的10个小时，无事可做。
Now adjectives ending with i-n-g, like boring, usually describe things or events that make us have a particular feeling.
以 i-n-g 结尾的形容词，例如 boring，通常描述使我们有特殊感觉的事物或事件。
That's right, and in the example, boring describes all those hours and hours in the airport. Ten long, boring hours. Sound familiar Finn?
是的，在示例中，boring 描述了机场中所有时间。十个漫长而无聊的小时。听起来很熟悉，Finn？
That sounds very familiar, yes.

And there are lots of i-n-g adjectives we can use to describe things or events.
我们可以使用很多 i-n-g 形容词来描述事物或事件。
We can talk about a confusing problem, a surprising piece of news or an exciting film with lots of action. Finn, what's the most exciting film you have ever seen?
我们可以谈论一个令人困惑的问题，令人惊讶的新闻或一部激动人心的电影，其中有很多动作片段。芬恩，您看过最激动人心的电影吗？
So many exciting films. But the first one I can think of is Gravity. In space. Very exciting. OK Catherine, what is your idea of a relaxing holiday?
好多激动人心的电影。但是我能想到的第一个是《重力》。在太空，非常令人兴奋。凯瑟琳，你对假期放松有什么想法？
-I do like to be beside the seaside, Finn. -Oh, very good.
-我喜欢在海边，芬恩。-哦，这很好。
Now let's look at e-d adjectives. We're going to hear from a woman who got a very cheap holiday. What e-d adjective does she use?
现在让我们来看一下 e-d 形容词。我们将收到一个假期花费很少的女人的消息。她使用了什么 e-d 形容词呢？
We got a great deal. I was surprised at how cheap it was.
我们花费很少。我很惊讶这么便宜。
We use e-d adjectives to say how we feel about something. In our example, the adjective surprised describes how the woman feels about the price.
我们使用 e-d 形容词来表达我们对事物的感觉。在我们的示例中，形容词 surprised 描述了女人对价格的感觉。
I was surprised at how cheap it was.
我很惊讶这么便宜。
She didn't expect it to be so cheap!
她没想到这么便宜！
That's right. If I say: I get annoyed by loud music, the word annoyed describes my feelings about the music. The music is annoying, and I feel annoyed.
是的。如果我说：吵闹的音乐让我很烦躁，annoyed 一词描述了我对音乐的感受。音乐很烦人，我感觉烦躁。
And if I say: long lectures make me bored, the word bored describes my feelings about the lecture. The lecture is boring, and I feel bored. So, Finn, what makes you bored?
如果我说：漫长的演讲让我感到无聊，那么 bored 这个词描述了我对演讲的感受。演讲很无聊，我感到无聊。那么，芬恩，是什么让您感到无聊？
Nothing. I never feel bored.
没有。我从来不觉得无聊。
Yes, you do.
不，你有。
OK, when I'm travelling to work. A long commute is very boring and it makes me feel bored.
好吧，当我去上班时。通勤很无聊，这让我感到无聊。
Me too. And a word of warning here: don't confuse bored and boring — because if you say I'm very boring, you're actually saying that you make other people feel bored!
我也是。这里有个警告：不要混淆 bored 和 boring，因为如果你说 I’m very boring，实际上是在说让其他人感到无聊！
And you don't want that.
你不想这样的。
And it's time for a quiz. Listen to these sentences and choose whether they need an i-n-g or e-d adjective.
现在该进行测验了。听这些句子，然后选择是否需要 i-n-g 或 e-d 形容词。
Catherine will tell you the answers. OK. Ready? Number one: I enjoy taking long hot baths. They make me feel really. . . a) relaxed or b) relaxing?
凯瑟琳会告诉你答案。准备好了吗？1：我喜欢长时间洗热水澡。他们让我感到非常... a) relaxed or b) relaxing？
Now Finn, you're describing your feeling, so it's a) relaxed.
芬恩，你正在描述自己的感觉，所以 a) relaxed.
That's right: they make me relaxed. Number two: 'The discovery of life on Mars would be… ' a) surprised or b) surprising?
没错：它们使我放松。2：在火星上发现生命将是......a) surprised or b) surprising？
And this time. We're talking about a discovery, which is a thing, so it's b) surprising.
这次我们在谈论发现，这是一回事，所以 b) surprising.
And the last one: 'Those students are very. . . ' a) annoying or b) annoyed?
最后一个：那些学生非常…… a) annoying or b) annoyed？
And this one is a trick question, because both of them are possible. Those students are very annoying is correct if we are describing the students.
这是一个棘手的问题，因为两者都有可能。如果我们描述学生的话，那些学生 annoying 是正确的。
But those students are very annoyed is what we say if we are talking about the students' feelings.
但是那些学生非常 annoyed，如果我们谈论学生的感受时我们会说。
That's right, both are possible. And that brings us almost to the end of the show.
是的，两者都有可能。本期的节目就要接近尾声了。
But before we go, here's today's top tip for learning vocabulary: i-n-g and e-d adjectives are easy to confuse, so write down pairs of example sentences in your notebook.
结束前向大家传授一个超棒的妙招：i-n-g 和 e-d 形容词很容易混淆，因此请在笔记本中写下成对的例句。
