Welcome back to Beyond English. I'm Patrick. Patrick: 大家好！欢迎回到 Beyond English 不止英语。我是 Patrick。 Mandy: And I'm Mandy. Patrick, do you have a tissue? Mandy: 我是 Mandy。Patrick，你有纸巾吗？ Patrick: Uh oh. Why? Are you okay? Patrick: 噢。为什么？你还好吗？ Mandy: I am fine, but I just watched a video on my phone. It was a soldier coming home to surprise his daughter at school. It was so sweet! Mandy: 我没事，但我刚才在手机上看了一个视频。是一个士兵回家去学校给女儿惊喜。太温馨了！ Patrick: Aww, I love those videos. Patrick: 噢，我喜欢那种视频。 Mandy: Me too. I didn't actually cry, but my eyes got wet. I felt like crying, but the tears didn't fall. What is the phrase for this? Mandy: 我也是。我其实没哭，但我的眼睛湿润了。我感觉想哭，但眼泪没掉下来。形容这个的短语是什么？ Patrick: You were tearing up. To "tear up" means your eyes fill with tears because of a strong emotion. Patrick: 你那是 tearing up（热泪盈眶）。"Tear up" 的意思是你的眼睛因为强烈的情绪而充满泪水。 Mandy: Tear up. That is perfect. How can I visualize this? Mandy: Tear up。太完美了。我该怎么具象化地理解这个？ Patrick: Imagine a cup of water. You pour water in until it reaches the very top edge. Patrick: 想象一杯水。你往里倒水，直到水面到达最顶端的边缘。 Mandy: Okay, it is full. Mandy: 好的，满了。 Patrick: It is full, but it does not spill over. That is "tearing up." The emotion is there, but it hasn't spilled over into crying yet. Patrick: 它是满的，但没有溢出来。这就是 "tearing up"。情绪到了，但还没有溢出来变成哭泣。 Mandy: I love that image. So, can I use this for happy moments too? Like at a wedding? Mandy: 我喜欢这个画面。那么，我可以用它来形容快乐的时刻吗？比如在婚礼上？ Patrick: Absolutely. It is very common at weddings. You can say: "When the bride walked in, her mother started to tear up." Patrick: 当然。这在婚礼上很常见。你可以说：“当新娘走进来时，她的母亲开始热泪盈眶。” Mandy: That is beautiful. What about at work? Is it okay to tear up in the office? Mandy: 真美。那在工作中呢？在办公室热泪盈眶可以吗？ Patrick: It depends. If a colleague is retiring after 20 years, it is okay. You can say: "He tore up during his goodbye speech." It shows he cares. Patrick: 看情况。如果一位同事工作20年后退休，是可以的。你可以说：“他在告别演讲时眼眶湿润了。”这表明他在乎。 Mandy: I see. Now, Patrick, I have a question about the sound. Is it "Tear" or "Tare"? Mandy: 我明白了。现在，Patrick，我有个关于发音的问题。是读 "Tear" 还是 "Tare"？ Patrick: Excellent question. This is a big trap. When we talk about eyes and crying, we say "tear" like "ear." Patrick: 问得好。这是个大陷阱。当我们谈论眼睛和哭泣时，我们读 "tear"，韵母像 "ear"（耳朵）。 Mandy: Tear, like ear. Mandy: Tear，像 ear。 Patrick: But if you rip a piece of paper, you say "tear" like "hair." If you say "I am going to tear up the paper," that means destroy it! Patrick: 但如果你撕一张纸，你读 "tear"，韵母像 "hair"（头发）。如果你说 "I am going to tear up the paper"，意思是撕碎它！ Mandy: Oh wow. So "tear up" (ear) is emotion, and "tear up" (hair) is destruction. Mandy: 噢哇。所以 "tear up" (ear) 是情绪，而 "tear up" (hair) 是破坏。 Patrick: Exactly. Don't mix them up! Patrick: 没错。别搞混了！ Mandy: I will remember that. Listeners, what makes you tear up? Mandy: 我会记住的。听众朋友们，什么会让你们热泪盈眶？ Patrick: Tell us in the comments. Patrick: 在评论区告诉我们。 Mandy: Thanks for listening! Mandy: 谢谢收听！ Patrick: Bye! Patrick: 再见！ ________________________________________ 如果你喜欢我们的节目，欢迎你推荐给更多感兴趣的朋友，也欢迎你在我们的评论区留言交流。 在小宇宙查看该单集文稿
