Good to see you again. Welcome to another session of Beyond English. I'm Patrick.Patrick: 大家好。很高兴再次见到你们。欢迎来到 Beyond English 不止英语。我是 Patrick。Mandy: And I'm Mandy. Patrick, I have been thinking about how we face problems. It is not always easy.Mandy: 我是 Mandy。Patrick，我一直在思考我们如何面对问题。这并不总是容易的。Patrick: That is true. What kind of problems are you thinking about?Patrick: 确实如此。你在想哪种问题？Mandy: Well, I have this neighbor. He plays loud music every night. I tried knocking on his door, but he ignores me. I just don't know what to do about him.Mandy: 嗯，我有这么个邻居。他每天晚上都放很大声的音乐。我试过敲他的门，但他不理我。我真的不知道该拿他怎么办。Patrick: That sounds frustrating. You need a phrase that means "to take action to solve a problem" or "to manage a situation." The phrase is: Deal with. You need to deal with your neighbor.Patrick: 听起来很让人沮丧。你需要一个意思是“采取行动解决问题”或“管理某种情况”的短语。这个短语是：Deal with（处理/应付）。你需要处理你的邻居。Mandy: Deal with. I hear this a lot. Does it come from playing cards?Mandy: Deal with。我经常听到这个。它来自打牌吗？Patrick: Yes, excellent connection. Think of a card game. The dealer gives you cards. You cannot change the cards you are given; you have to play them.Patrick: 是的，联想得很好。想想扑克游戏。发牌员（dealer）给你发牌。你不能改变你手中的牌；你必须打好它们。Patrick: So, to "deal with" something means you accept the situation exists, and you take action to manage it.Patrick: 所以，"deal with" 某事意味着你接受这个情况的存在，并采取行动去处理它。Mandy: That makes sense. I have these "cards"—my noisy neighbor—and I have to play them. Are there other ways to say this?Mandy: 有道理。我拿到了这些“牌”——我的吵闹邻居——我必须打好它们。还有其他说法吗？Patrick: Yes. If you want to sound capable and in control, you can use: Handle. "I can handle it." It implies you have the skill to fix it.Patrick: 有。如果你想听起来很能干、能掌控局面，你可以用：Handle（处理/搞定）。“我能搞定。”这暗示你有能力解决它。Mandy: Handle. That sounds strong. What if the problem is emotional? Like stress?Mandy: Handle。听起来很有力。如果问题是情绪上的呢？比如压力？Patrick: Then we often use: Cope with. "She is coping with a lot of stress right now." It focuses on the struggle to survive the difficulty.Patrick: 那我们通常用：Cope with（应对/承受）。“她现在正在应对很大的压力。”它侧重于在困难中挣扎求生。Mandy: Okay, so "deal with" is the general action. So, Patrick, can I use "deal with" for my neighbor?Mandy: 好的，所以 "deal with" 是通用的动作。那么，Patrick，我可以用 "deal with" 来形容我的邻居吗？Patrick: Yes. You can say, "I am going to deal with my neighbor tomorrow." It implies you will talk to him or call the landlord.Patrick: 可以。你可以说，“我明天要去处理我的邻居。”这暗示你会跟他谈谈或者给房东打电话。Mandy: What about at work? If I have a difficult client?Mandy: 那在工作中呢？如果我有个难搞的客户？Patrick: Definitely. "This client is angry. Can you deal with him?" It is very professional.Patrick: 绝对可以。“这个客户生气了。你能应付他吗？”这非常专业。Mandy: Now, Patrick, is there any danger with this phrase? Can I use it for my friends?Mandy: 现在，Patrick，用这个短语有什么风险吗？我可以用在朋友身上吗？Patrick: Be careful when using it for people you like.Patrick: 用来形容你喜欢的人时要小心。Mandy: Why?Mandy: 为什么？Patrick: Because "dealing with someone" usually implies they are a problem or an annoyance. If you say, "I have to deal with my husband tonight," it sounds like he is a burden.Patrick: 因为 "dealing with someone" 通常暗示他们是个麻烦或者令人讨厌。如果你说，“我今晚得应付我老公”，听起来他像个负担。Mandy: Oh, I see. I shouldn't say that about people I love!Mandy: 噢，我明白了。我不应该这样说我爱的人！Patrick: Exactly. Keep it for problems. And lastly, how is "Deal with" different from "Solve"?Mandy: 没错。留给问题吧。最后，"Deal with" 和 "Solve"（解决）有什么区别？Mandy: Don't they mean the same thing?Mandy: 它们意思不一样吗？Patrick: Not quite. "Solve" means the problem is gone. It is fixed forever.Patrick: 不完全是。"Solve" 意味着问题消失了。它被彻底修好了。Mandy: And deal with?Mandy: 那 deal with 呢？Patrick: "Deal with" means you are managing it. Maybe the problem is still there, but it is under control. You deal with a chronic illness; you might not solve it.Patrick: "Deal with" 意味着你在管理它。也许问题还在，但在控制之中。你应对（deal with）慢性病；你可能无法彻底解决（solve）它。Mandy: That is a very clear distinction. Listeners, what are you dealing with this week?Mandy: 这个区分非常清晰。听众朋友们，这周你们在处理什么？Patrick: A project? A messy room?Patrick: 一个项目？还是凌乱的房间？Mandy: Tell us in the comments.Mandy: 在评论区告诉我们。Patrick: Go beyond words.Patrick: 超越词汇。在小宇宙查看该单集文稿
