Good to see you again. Welcome to 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, you know, I noticed something about myself recently. I am very patient... until I am not.Mandy: 我是 Mandy。Patrick，你知道吗，我最近发现自己有个特点。我非常有耐心……直到我不耐烦为止。Patrick: That sounds like a riddle, Mandy. What happened? Did you lose your patience?Patrick: 听起来像个谜语，Mandy。发生什么了？你失去耐心了吗？Mandy: Well, my apartment building is doing construction work. Every morning at 7 AM... drilling noises. It drives me crazy, but I don't complain. I just sit there and suffer.Mandy: 嗯，我的公寓楼正在施工。每天早上7点……钻孔的声音。我要疯了，但我没抱怨。我就坐在那儿受罪。Patrick: Ah, I see. You are accepting an unpleasant situation without trying to change it immediately. There is a perfect phrasal verb for this: Put up with. You are putting up with the noise.Patrick: 啊，我明白了。你在接受一个不愉快的情况，而没有试图立刻改变它。有个完美的动词短语形容这个：Put up with（忍受/容忍）。你在忍受那个噪音。Mandy: Put up with. It sounds like I am holding something up?Mandy: Put up with。听起来像是我把什么东西举起来了？Patrick: In a way, yes. Imagine you are carrying a heavy backpack. You don't like it. It is heavy and uncomfortable.Patrick: 某种程度上是的。想象你背着一个沉重的背包。你不喜欢它。它很重，很不舒服。Patrick: But, you have to carry it to get to your destination. So you keep it on your back. You "put up with" the weight.Patrick: 但是，为了到达目的地，你必须背着它。所以你把它背在背上。你“忍受”着这个重量。Mandy: That is a great metaphor. I am carrying the noise because I need to live in my apartment. So, are there other ways to say this? Maybe stronger?Mandy: 这是个很棒的比喻。我背负着噪音，因为我得住在我的公寓里。那么，还有其他说法吗？也许语气更强烈的？Patrick: Yes. If you really hate something, you can use the word: Stand. Usually in the negative form. "I can't stand the noise."Patrick: 有。如果你真的很讨厌某样东西，你可以用这个词：Stand（忍受）。通常用否定形式。“我受不了（can't stand）这个噪音。”Mandy: "I can't stand it." That feels good to say. What about a more formal word? Like for a serious email?Mandy: “我受不了了。”说出来的感觉真好。那更正式的词呢？比如用于严肃的邮件？Patrick: Then you would use: Tolerate. "We cannot tolerate this behavior." It sounds very official.Patrick: 那你会用：Tolerate（容忍）。“我们不能容忍这种行为。”这听起来非常官方。Mandy: Got it. So "Put up with" is for daily annoyances. Patrick, can I use this at work?Mandy: 懂了。所以 "Put up with" 用于日常的烦恼。Patrick，我能在工作用这个吗？Patrick: Yes, it is very common. You might say to a colleague: "I don't know how you put up with that slow computer."Patrick: 可以，这非常常见。你可能会对同事说：“我不知道你是怎么忍受那台慢电脑的。”Mandy: Or "I have to put up with a long commute every day."Mandy: 或者“我每天不得不忍受很长的通勤时间。”Patrick: Exactly. But be careful. Don't use it for things you should enjoy.Patrick: 没错。但要小心。别用它来形容你应该享受的事情。Mandy: What do you mean?Mandy: 什么意思？Patrick: You shouldn't say, "I put up with my dinner last night." It implies the dinner was bad, and you suffered through it.Patrick: 你不应该说，“我昨晚忍受了我的晚餐。”这暗示晚餐很难吃，你是硬着头皮吃下去的。Mandy: Haha, I see. Unless the cooking was terrible! Now, Patrick, is there a limit to putting up with things?Mandy: 哈哈，我明白了。除非饭做得特别难吃！现在，Patrick，忍受事情有限度吗？Patrick: Definitely. When you can't put up with it anymore... you might "Freak out" or get "Fed up." We talked about those before.Patrick: 当然有。当你再也无法忍受时……你可能会 "Freak out"（抓狂）或者变得 "Fed up"（受够了）。我们之前聊过这些。Mandy: Right! It is all connected. Listeners, what are you putting up with right now?Mandy: 对！都是有关联的。听众朋友们，你们现在正在忍受什么？Patrick: Hopefully not bad audio quality!Patrick: 希望不是糟糕的音质！Mandy: Tell us in the comments.Mandy: 在评论区告诉我们。Patrick: Thanks for listening, everyone. Have a wonderful day.Patrick: 谢谢大家的收听。祝大家有美好的一天。在小宇宙查看该单集文稿
