Welcome back to Beyond English. I'm Patrick.Patrick: 嗨，大家好！欢迎回到 Beyond English 不止英语。我是 Patrick。Mandy: And I'm Mandy. Patrick, I had a terrible weekend. I feel awful.Mandy: 我是 Mandy。Patrick，我周末过得糟透了。我感觉很差。Patrick: Oh no, what happened?Patrick: 噢不，发生什么了？Mandy: I had a huge fight with my sister. We were screaming at each other over something stupid... I think it was about who ate the last piece of cake.Mandy: 我跟我妹妹大吵了一架。我们为了件蠢事互相大吼……好像是因为谁吃了最后一块蛋糕。Mandy: We haven't spoken for two days. I miss her, but I don't know how to fix it.Mandy: 我们两天没说话了。我想她，但我不知道怎么挽回。Patrick: That is a classic sibling situation. You need to repair the relationship. The perfect phrasal verb for this is: Make up. You need to make up with her.Patrick: 这是一个典型的兄弟姐妹间的情况。你需要修复这段关系。形容这个最完美的动词短语是：Make up（和好）。你需要跟她和好。Mandy: Make up. Like putting on lipstick?Mandy: Make up。就像涂口红吗？Patrick: Haha, no. That is the noun "makeup." As a verb, "to make up" means to forgive each other and become friendly again after a fight.Patrick: 哈哈，不是。那是名词“化妆品 (makeup)”。作为动词，"to make up" 的意思是互相原谅，在争吵后重新变得友好。Mandy: I see. So it brings us back together. But before we make up, we probably need to talk about the problem, right?Mandy: 我明白了。所以它让我们重新聚在一起。但在我们和好之前，我们可能需要谈谈那个问题，对吧？Patrick: Exactly. And for that, we have a great bonus phrase: Clear the air.Patrick: 没错。关于这个，我们有一个很棒的额外表达：Clear the air（消除误会/澄清事实）。Mandy: Clear the air. Like getting rid of smoke?Mandy: Clear the air。就像把烟雾弄走吗？Patrick: Ideally, yes. Tension is like smoke in the room. You talk honestly to remove the bad feelings. You clear the air first, and then you make up.Patrick: 理想情况下是这样。紧张气氛就像房间里的烟雾。你们坦诚交谈以消除坏情绪。你们先消除误会，然后再和好。Mandy: I like that process. Is there another way to say "stop fighting"?Mandy: 我喜欢这个过程。还有其他表达“停止争吵”的说法吗？Patrick: Yes, a very colorful idiom: Bury the hatchet.Patrick: 有，一个非常生动的习语：Bury the hatchet（埋葬斧头/言归于好）。Mandy: Bury the hatchet? That sounds violent!Mandy: Bury the hatchet？听起来很暴力！Patrick: It comes from Native American history. When tribes stopped fighting, they literally buried their weapons to show peace. So, you bury the hatchet.Patrick: 它源自美洲原住民的历史。当部落停止战斗时，他们真的会埋葬武器以示和平。所以，你们把斧头埋了。Mandy: That is cool. So, Patrick, can I use "make up" at work?Mandy: 真酷。那么，Patrick，我能在工作中使用 "make up" 吗？Patrick: You can, but it sounds a bit emotional. If you fought with a work friend, sure. But in a formal meeting, "Resolve the conflict" is better.Patrick: 可以，但这听起来有点情绪化。如果你和工作中的朋友吵架了，没问题。但在正式会议中，"Resolve the conflict"（解决冲突）更好。Mandy: Got it. Make up is for personal relationships. Now, warning: Does "Make up" have other meanings?Mandy: 懂了。Make up 适用于私人关系。现在，警告："Make up" 还有其他意思吗？Patrick: Yes! It can also mean "to invent a story" or "to lie." Like, "I didn't have homework, so I made up an excuse."Patrick: 有！它还可以表示“编造故事”或“撒谎”。比如，“我没写作业，所以我编了一个借口。”Mandy: Context is everything! But for my sister, I just want to be friends again.Mandy: 语境决定一切！但对于我妹妹，我只想重新做回朋友。Patrick: Then go clear the air and make up! Listeners, is there anyone you need to make up with?Patrick: 那就去消除误会，然后和好！听众朋友们，有什么人是你们需要去和好的吗？Mandy: Don't let a small fight ruin a good friendship.Mandy: 别让小争吵毁了一段好友谊。Patrick: Go beyond words. See you next time!Patrick: 超越词汇。下次见！________________________________________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
