Hello everyone and welcome to Xiaoming English

大家好,欢迎来到小明英语

I’m your teacher Ming

我是你们的老师Ming

很高兴可以见到大家

我们现在就开始课程吧

So the first section of today’s class is called HelloSlang

今天课程的第一部分是“你好俚语”

and the slang for today is “sketch”, which is also used as “sketchy”

今天的俚语是“Sketch”,或者也可以说“Sketchy”

它们的意思就是不靠谱

它们怎么会有这个意思

Sketch本来就是画画的意思,做出来一个草图

Calling something sketch is saying that it was done very quickly, it’s not

complete

说一件事是Sketch是指这件事做得非常仓促,没有完成

So as a slang, it means something is not working, or doesn’t look very good.

所以用作俚语时,它的意思是不工作,或者看起来很不行

Like you know也可以说不靠谱

Let’s try using them in a sentence

让我们试试在一个句子中用一下这个俚语

For example, if I’m on the computer

举个例子,如果我在用电脑

在电脑上面,查查一个东西,找一个网站

然后那个网站(有)不靠谱的感觉

If that website doesn’t feel quite right

这个网站感觉不太对

You can say whoa, that website looks sketch

你可以说,哇,这网站看起来真不靠谱

I don’t want to give any of my personal information.

我可不想写我的个人信息

ways

When he was 23 years old, he gained control of a San Francisco newspaper

当他23岁的时候,他开始控制一家在旧金山的报纸

这个报纸是他父亲给他的

He hired the best reporters and bought the best equipment

Because he believed in doing anything he could to get more readers

Interesting fact

有意思的一条信息

William Hearst created a kind of newspaper that is called yellow journalism

威廉赫斯特创造了一种叫做“黄色新闻”的独特新闻方式

Yellow journalism is when you exaggerate a story

“黄色新闻”是当你夸张的去描述一个故事

就是说把一个故事说的更夸张

that took place in 1898

and before Hearst knew for what had happened

and spurred on the start of the war

Now, the Hearst Corporation still owns more than 150 businesses

现在,赫斯特集团仍然拥有超过150家公司

including newspapers, magazines, radio and TV stations

包括报纸、杂志、广播电台和电视台

Now let’s talk about today’s sentence structure

我们现在可以讲关于今天的句型

So, here’s our first example:

我们用一个例子来讲:
