你呢？

自从搬到科罗拉多后我开始更喜欢辣食了，因为这里有很多新墨西哥州的青辣椒。

I've gotten to like it a bit more since I moved to Colorado because we have a lot of, like, green chilies from New Mexico.

我们

这条留言来自a o I。

So this is from a o I.

听众说，你好，Michelle和Lindsay。

The listener says, hello, Michelle and Lindsay.

我是一名在日本学习英语的学生，每天都会收听你们的播客来提高英语水平。

I'm an English learner in Japan, and I've been listening to your podcast every day to improve my English.

太棒了。

Love that.

太棒了。

Love that.

谢谢。

Thank you.

谢谢。

Thank you.

收听你们的播客非常有趣。

It's so fun to listen to your podcast.

再次感谢。

Thank you again.

我有个问题。

I have a question.

是关于spice这个词的。

It's about the word spice.

我和朋友聊天时，他说这是一种香料。

When I was talking with a friend, he said it's a spice.

他可能是指能让其他事物变得更精彩有趣的东西，但我一直在想这个词还有其他用法吗？

Probably he meant something that makes something else more exciting and interesting, but I keep wondering if there are any other ways to use the word.

我超爱你们的播客和YouTube频道。

I love your podcast and your YouTube channel.

哇。

Wow.

太棒了。

Great.

啊。

Aw.

非常感谢。

Thank you so much.

这个问题问得好。

What a good question.

我是说，对。

I mean Yeah.

所以，没错。

So yeah.

它是一种调味料。

It's a spice.

这很有趣。

That's interesting.

其实我不得不查一下这个，因为林赛，你听过有人说‘哦，这是一种调味料’吗？

I actually had to look this one up because, Lindsay, have you heard someone say, oh, it's a spice?

我想我没有壳。

I don't think I have a shell.

我是说，也许这是年轻人现在说的新潮用语。

I mean, maybe this is something new that the young kids are saying.

对吧？

Right?

没错。

Right.

正是如此。

Exactly.

但我查了一下，确实是有这种说法的。

But when I looked it up, I mean, it's it's it's it is something.

对吧？

Right?

所以我确实看到了这位听众提到的那种用法例子，对吧？

So I did see examples in the way that this listener mentioned, right?

就像这位听众说的，可能是指能让其他事物变得更刺激有趣的东西。

So like, the listener said, probably meant something that makes something else more exciting and interesting.

没错，差不多就是这样。

So yeah, pretty much.

但我之前没听过这种说法。

But I just haven't heard it like this.

我们稍后会详细讨论这个话题。

So we're going to talk more about this in just a second.

But guys, make sure that you hit the follow button or hit subscribe on YouTube wherever you're listening to All Ears English so you don't miss anything.

对。

Yeah.

米歇尔，我认为关键在于听上下文。

And I think the key here is listening for context, Michelle.

所以有人可能会直接说，某物里有香料，或者说某物本身就是香料。

So something so someone literally could be saying, you know, there's spice in something or something is a spice.

比如，什么是豆蔻？

Like, what is cardamom?

什么是红椒粉？

What is paprika?

它是一种香料。

It's a spice.

嗯哼。

Mhmm.

或者他们可能用了一些时髦的俚语，就像你朋友用的那种。

Or they could be using something trendy and slangy, like what it sounds like your friend was using.

对。

Right.

对。

Right.

比如，琳赛，你做饭会用很多香料吗？或者你有最喜欢的香料吗？

Like, Lindsey, do you cook with a lot of spices or do you have a favorite spice?

或者也许有你不喜欢的香料。

Or maybe a spice you don't like.

哦，我不喜欢的香料。

Oh, a spice I don't like.

是什么？

What is it?

茴香？

Anise?

茴香？

Anise?

哦，是茴香？

Oh, anise?

它像是黑色的

It's like the black

比如甘草。

Like, licorice.

甘草。

Licorice.

就像甘草糖的味道。

Like, licorice.

那种甘草的味道。

The licorice flavor.

不。

No.

你也不喜欢吗？

Do you not neither?

我不要

I don't

需要那个。

need that.

不。

No.

不。

No.

不。

No.

不。

No.

不。

No.

不。

No.

那个，我觉得很多人喜欢甘草糖，但我就是，嗯，它不合我的口味。

That one, I think a lot of people like licorice, but I just, yeah, it's just not my flavor.

是啊。

So Yeah.

你懂吧？

You know?

你呢，米歇尔？

What about you, Michelle?

你做饭时喜欢用香料吗？

Are you a spice person when it comes to cooking?

是的。

Yeah.

没错。

Yeah.

我喜欢给食物加点料。

I like to I like to spice things up.

哦，哇。

Oh, wow.

明白你的双关了。

See what you did there.

嗯哼。

Mhmm.

对。

Yep.

我是这样的。

I do.

不太清楚，不过我好像用了很多辣椒粉和大蒜。

Don't know, yeah, I feel like I use a lot of paprika, garlic.

盐算香料吗？

Is salt a spice?

噢，我不

Oh, I don't

这么认为。

think so.

我觉得它更像是...不算

I think it's more of a It doesn't

香料。

count as a spice.

不过我确实盐放太多了。

But I do use too much salt.

是啊，盐能让所有东西都更好吃。

Yeah, salt everything taste better.

盐能让一切

Salt makes everything

尝起来...是啊，我有点，这方面我确实可以改进。

taste Yeah, I'm kinda, I could be better about that.

我...我觉得我不太...我不太喜欢迷迭香。

I I think I don't like I don't like love rosemary.

有些香料我不太喜欢，尝到时会想'呃不要'...比如姜...不，姜严格来说不算香料。

I don't there's some that like I'm not a huge fan of where you taste and you're like, oh I don't is gin no ginger's not technically it.

姜算是

Is ginger a

甜的？我不确定。

sweet I don't know.

应该在我的香料架上。

Think it's in my spice rack.

是啊，没错。

Yeah, right.

它是根茎类植物，对吧？

It's a root, right?

我想它应该算是根茎类。

It's like a root, I guess.

对。

Right.

不过确实可以用它来制作香料。

But, yeah, you can make spice from it.

我们彼此都学到了很多。

We are learning a lot from each other.

我们还需要多了解些烹饪知识。

We need a little more information on cooking here.

我是说，你该向我请教烹饪建议才对。

Mean, you should be asking me for cooking advice.

我对烹饪一窍不通。

I know nothing about cooking.

所以我不知道。

So I don't know.

那很有趣。

That's funny.

但在其他语境中，对吧，或者说它是一种香料，它完全可以指代某种额外添加的特别之物。

So but in the other context, right, or it's a spice, it could definitely mean something that is added that's extra special.

所以可能像是点睛之笔，或是某种令人兴奋、独特的东西，诸如此类。是的，大概是这样。

So maybe like pizzazz or something exciting, unique, whatever it So, might yeah.

我们来看些例子吧。

Let's do some examples.

再次声明，我从未听过这种用法，所以我只是根据其他人的说法来推测。

And again, I will say that I haven't heard it used in this way, but when so I'm going off of what I've found other people saying.

是啊。

So Yeah.

当然。

For sure.

这些是我的例子，但希望这能符合你实际听到的用法。

Are my examples, but yeah, just hopefully this would be what you would really hear.

没错。

Exactly.

所以她的时尚感是一种调味剂。

So her fashion sense is a spice.

我总是好奇她会穿什么。

I'm always curious to see what she will wear.

嗯。

Mhmm.

有意思。

Interesting.

嗯。

Mhmm.

或者我得告诉你我听到的消息。

Or I have to tell you the news I heard.

相信我。

Trust me.

这是一种调味料。

It's a spice.

我是说，我们得不断推出新的俚语。

I mean, we have to have new slang coming out all the time.

对吧？

Right?

因为孩子们不想重复父母用的俚语。

Because kids don't wanna repeat the slang that their parents use.

我是说，这是他们最不愿意做的事。

I mean, that's the last thing they wanna do.

所以他们得编造新的——哦，还有

So they have to make up new Oh, there's

现在有很多事情在发生。

a lot going on right now.

你听说过六七这个梗吗？

Have you heard the six seven thing?

没有。

No.

哦

Oh

我的天啊。

my god.

现在有个流行趋势，孩子们会喊'六七'然后这样摆手势。

There's something now where kids just go six seven and they like move their hands in this way.

这个梗像野火一样迅速传播开来。

And like, but it's going all around like wildfire.

而且我觉得这根本毫无意义。

And like, I think it means nothing.

我听说是这样的。

That's what I've heard.

有意思。

Interesting.

实际上没有任何意义。

There's actually no meaning.

就是人们喜欢这么说而已。

It's just like people like saying it.

天啊。

Oh my gosh.

是啊。

Yeah.

他们想创造自己的俚语。

They want to invent their own slang.

他们不想像父母那样说话。

They don't want to talk like their parents.

对吧？

Right?

因为尤其是当你长大后，你会变得

Because especially when you get older, you get to be

十几岁时，你会对父母翻白眼。

a teenager, you kind of like roll your eyes at your parents.

至少我有过一段时间是这样。

At least I did for a while.

米歇尔，我觉得你也会经历这个阶段。

That's coming for you, Michelle, I think.

再来一个例子。

Here's another one.

我丈夫把头发染成了蓝色。

My husband dyed his hair blue.

这是一种调味料。

It's a spice.

哦。

Oh.

其实我丈夫确实把头发染成了蓝色。

So my husband actually did dye his hair blue.

哦，天哪。

Oh, jeez.

听起来像是...嗯。

It sounds like a Yeah.

真是件...

Damn thing to

他现在是蓝头发。

He has blue hair.

那是为了一个慈善活动染的，但染成了永久性的，直到头发长出来。

It was for a charity event, but he dyed it permanently until it grows out.

我的天啊。

Oh my gosh.

直到头发长出来，米歇尔。

Until it grows out, Michelle.

这真是...哇哦。

That's wow.

他整个头顶都是蓝色的。

That's very whole top of his head is blue.

我是说，他两侧头发很短，但确实如此。

I mean, has very short hair on the sides, but yes.

所以这是个亮点。

So it is a spice.

那可能

That could

需要一段时间。

take a while.

你今年要参加什么婚礼吗？

Are you going to any weddings this year?

没有。

No.

但他确实在葬礼上保持了那个发型。

But he did have he did have it like that for a funeral.

哦，

Oh,

哇。

wow.

好吧。

Okay.

那是...是的。

That's that's Yeah.

有点搞笑。

It's a little Pretty funny.

有意思。

Interesting.

是啊。

Yeah.

不过总的来说他是个有趣的人。

So but he he's a spice in general.

没错。

Yeah.

嗯哼。

Mhmm.

不得不喜欢他。

Gotta love him.

再说一次，我其实没用过它，但听起来它可能正在流行起来，而且确实有道理。

So again again, I I haven't really used it, but it sounds like maybe it's becoming popular, and it does make sense.

我是说...确实。

I mean Yeah.

这确实有道理。

It does make sense.

是啊。

Yeah.

我是说，这让我联想到人们说'这是一种氛围'或'这是完整的氛围'时的情形。

I mean, it's kinda similar to makes me think of when people say it's a vibe or it's a whole vibe.

对吧？

Right?

你听到了吗？

Do you hear that?

她自带完整氛围感。

She's a whole vibe.

没错。

Yeah.

意思是它自成一体。

It means it's its own thing.

那里确实有些特别之处。

There's something going on there.

它超越了常规，或许可以这么说。

It's above it's out of the ordinary, maybe, let's say.

对吧？

Right?

是的。

Yeah.

没错。

Yeah.

有一次我朋友形容我女儿是个有独特气场的人。

Once my my friend described my daughter as a vibe.

好吧。

Okay.

是啊。

Yeah.

确实如此。

That's yeah.

她绝对是个有独特气质的人。

She's a she's definitely a vibe.

不管具体什么意思，她就是很特别。

Whatever it means, she's, you know, special.

她有自己的个性。

She's got her own personality.

对吧？

Right?

是啊。

Yeah.

哦，没错。

Oh, yeah.

哦，是的。

Oh, yeah.

我超爱这点。

I love it.

好的。

Okay.

所以我们还有其他带点辛辣和风味的说法。

So there are other things that we say with spice and flare.

对吧？

Right?

你一开始是这么说的。

So you said this at the beginning.

你说过你喜欢给事情加点料。

You said I like to spice things up.

对吧？

Right?

我记得我问过你是否用香料，这算是个有趣的文字游戏。

I think when I asked you if you use spices, which is kind of a fun play on words.

对吧？

Right?

让事情变得更有趣或更令人兴奋。

Making something more interesting or exciting.

这篇文章很棒，但也许我们可以加入一些个人故事让它更生动。

This is a great essay, but maybe we should spice it up with some personal stories.

对吧？

Right?

嗯哼。

Mhmm.

所以，是的，你可能是在谈论实际的香料。

So, yeah, you could be talking about actual spices.

哦，这道菜有点淡。

Oh, this is like dish is a little bland.

让我们加点料吧。

Let's spice it up.

加点大蒜。

Add some garlic.

对吧？

Right?

是的。

Yeah.

但它也可以用于非烹饪场景。

But it could also be used not for cooking.

没错。

Yes.

嗯。

Mhmm.

然后就是单纯的'辣'，我们最开始讨论过这个。

So and then there's just spicy, which we talked about at the beginning.

所以可以指味道辛辣，也可以指某件事有趣、刺激，甚至性感。

So it could be about the taste being spicy, but it could also be something interesting, exciting, even sexy.

或者我特别喜欢的是，当有人...有人提出反对意见时

Or what I really like is when something is like, someone is someone pushes back

有点像是某人有点暴躁。

a little bit, like, someone is a little testy.

他们的性格有点火辣。

Their personality is a little spicy.

火辣对吧

Spicy right

现在。

now.

哦，你现在很火辣啊。

Oh, you're being spicy.

或者有时候我去健身房，教练会说，哦，那些波比跳很带劲。

Or sometimes when I go to the gym, the the coach will say, oh, those burpees were spicy.

对吧？

Right?

意思是，

Meaning,

它们很火辣。

they they were hot.

听到了。

Hear that.

今天的训练很带劲。

Spicy workout today.

我

I

确实听到这种说法。

do hear it like that.

是的，我确实听过。

I do, yes.

有些东西很难

Something that's hard to I

其实我挺喜欢这样的。

actually like that.

还挺有趣的。

It's kind of fun.

还挺有趣的。

It's kind of fun.

所以，快告诉我所有细节。

So like, tell me everything.

我需要所有劲爆的细节。

I need all the spicy details.

你可能还会听到些香艳的细节。

You might also hear juicy details.

香艳的细节。

Juicy details.

没错。

Right.

Flair是另一个说法。

Flair is another one.

那我们来看看。

So let's see.

所以对于

So for

举个例子，不是用‘香料’这个词，但我想补充几个。

example not with the word spice, but I wanted to add in a couple.

那你有没有看过电影《上班一条虫》？

So have you ever seen the movie Office Space?

看过。

Yeah.

当然。

Of course.

就是有米尔顿的那部对吧？

With Milton and right?

是不是那部？是的。

Isn't that Yes.

是的。

Yeah.

当然。

Of course.

那是詹妮弗·安妮斯顿。

That's Jennifer Aniston.

记得他们那些装饰徽章吗？

Remember how they have the pieces of flair?

我想我记得这个情节。

I think I remember that.

我...嗯。

I yeah.

他们在一家餐厅工作，按规定必须穿着制服并佩戴特定数量的装饰徽章。

They're like so they work at a restaurant and they have to like, they have with their uniform, they have to have certain pieces of flair.

好的。

Okay.
