Mark: Hello again, Mark Kaufmann here for the EnglishLingQ Podcast.

As usual, I'm joined by Jill Soles. ||||||Soles Her zamanki gibi Jill Soles de bana katılıyor. 和往常一樣，我和Jill Soles一起。 Hi, Jill. 嗨，Jill。

Jill: Hello. Jill: 哈囉。

Mark: How's it going today? Jill:Good thanks. How are you?

Mark: Not too bad.

Jill: Good.

Mark: What's new with you? |뭐가|새로운 것|에게|너는 Mark: Wat is er nieuw bij jou? Jill: I don't know. We had a beautiful weekend here. October 13th and 14th in Vancouver was just fantastic; I think about 15 degrees both days, maybe warmer even.

Mark: For sure. Like Saturday some friends and I were out playing touch football, looking around, not a cloud in the sky and we kind of made the comment that we didn't have too many days this summer with not a cloud in the sky. |星期六||朋友們|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||晴天日子||||||||| Mesela Cumartesi günü bazı arkadaşlarla dışarıda futbol oynuyorduk, etrafa bakıyorduk, gökyüzünde tek bir bulut yoktu ve bu yaz gökyüzünde tek bir bulutun olmadığı çok fazla gün geçirmediğimiz yorumunu yaptık. Jill: Now it's the middle of October. Jill: Ahora estamos a mediados de octubre. Mark: At least there was not a cloud in the sky. It was, yeah, pretty warm for October for sure. It was a beautiful day.

Jill: Yeah and Sunday was beautiful too. There was a little more cloud coverage, but it was warm and the air was fresh and, you know, the leaves are changing colors on the trees and it was just a beautiful weekend. Había un poco más de nubosidad, pero hacía calor y el aire era fresco y, ya sabes, las hojas están cambiando de color en los árboles y fue un fin de semana precioso.

Mark: What did you get up to? Mark: ¿Qué has hecho? Марк: Чем вы занимались? Марк: Чим ти займався?

Jill: What did I do; not too much to tell you the truth. Not enough. I did a lot of walking outside. I live near the beach, so I went for a long walk on the beach and sat on a log for a while and just looked at all the boats on the ocean. |||||||||||||||||||tronco d'albero||||||||||||| Vivo cerca de la playa, así que me fui a dar un largo paseo por la playa y me senté en un tronco durante un rato y me quedé mirando todos los barcos que había en el océano. It was very nice; very relaxing. Went out for dinner and went to a mall yesterday shopping, actually, and it was colder inside the mall then it was outside, so I was very happy to get outside. Salimos a cenar y ayer fuimos de compras a un centro comercial, la verdad, y hacía más frío dentro del centro comercial que fuera, así que me alegré mucho de salir. I was warm again.

Mark: You'll be disappointed or surprised to hear that I went down to Bellingham yesterday and didn't do any shopping. |||||||||||||貝靈漢|||||| |||||||||||||No translation needed|||||| Mark : Vous serez déçu ou surpris d'apprendre que je suis allé à Bellingham hier et que je n'ai pas fait de courses. Марк: Вы будете разочарованы или удивлены, узнав, что вчера я ездил в Беллингем и не делал никаких покупок. Jill: Oh, what a shame. Jill: Oh, qué vergüenza. Джил: Какая жалость.

Mark: It's too late now. Marc : C'est trop tard maintenant. Because the Canadian dollar has appreciated so much against the American dollar… Como el dólar canadiense se ha apreciado tanto frente al estadounidense... Parce que le dollar canadien s'est tellement apprécié par rapport au dollar américain…

Jill: …it's worth more. ...vale más. Mark: In fact, it's worth more for the first time in, I don't know, 30 some odd years. |||||||||||||||approximately| Mark: De hecho, vale más por primera vez en, no sé, 30 y pico años. There are a lot of Canadians driving down to the states to go shopping. Muchos canadienses van de compras a Estados Unidos. Their dollar buys so much more down there and really prices up here have not reflected that change, so things here are more expensive. Su dólar compra mucho más allí y, en realidad, los precios aquí no han reflejado ese cambio, por lo que las cosas aquí son más caras.

Jill: Right.

Quite a lot more expensive, you know. Even something like a magazine that you can buy in the store, the price might be $3.95 U.S. ||||||||||||||pode ser||| and sometimes $5.95 Canadian. That's two extra dollars on something that's only a few dollars to begin with. Son dos dólares de más por algo que, para empezar, sólo cuesta unos pocos dólares. Bu, başlangıçta sadece birkaç dolar olan bir şey için fazladan iki dolar demek. Mark: That's a big difference. Jill: Big difference, yeah.

Mark: ... books in the bookstore. It's like we're still paying for a .75 cent dollar. Es como si siguiéramos pagando por un dólar de 0,75 céntimos. Our dollar is worth more now, so there are a lot of cross-border shoppers. ||||||||||||||購物者 ||||||||||||||買い物客 Nuestro dólar vale más ahora, así que hay muchos compradores transfronterizos. Notre dollar vaut plus maintenant, alors il y a beaucoup d'acheteurs transfrontaliers.

Jill: And a lot of long, long line ups, waits at the borders; hours people are waiting to get across the border. Jill: Y un montón de largas, largas colas, esperas en las fronteras; horas la gente está esperando para cruzar la frontera.

Mark: Yes they are.

Jill: Did you?

Mark: The reason that we went, my son and I, he had a hockey game in Bellingham, which was very irritating for me because there's plenty of hockey teams within 20 minutes of our house. ||||||||||||||||||||agaçant||||||||||||| ||||||||||||||||||||frustrating||||||||||||| Mark : La raison pour laquelle nous y sommes allés, mon fils et moi, c'est qu'il avait un match de hockey à Bellingham, ce qui m'a beaucoup énervé parce qu'il y a plein d'équipes de hockey à moins de 20 minutes de chez nous. Why are we driving an hour and a half to the states to play hockey? Pourquoi conduisons-nous une heure et demie jusqu'aux États-Unis pour jouer au hockey ? I have no idea. Somehow they are in the league. In some way||||| D'une certaine manière, ils sont dans la ligue. If I knew who was responsible I would have strangled them. |||||||||étranglé| |||||||||choked to death| |||||||||estrangulado| Si j'avais su qui était responsable, je les aurais étranglés.

Jill: Well, especially right now, to have to cross the border and it's such a nightmare right now. Jill : Eh bien, surtout en ce moment, devoir traverser la frontière et c'est un tel cauchemar en ce moment. It just does not make sense to be forcing people to do that. Cela n'a tout simplement pas de sens d'obliger les gens à le faire.

Mark: On a Sunday, you know, and the game was at three in the afternoon, so we were coming back at five. |||воскресенье|||||||||||||||||| Mark : Un dimanche, vous savez, et le match était à trois heures de l'après-midi, donc nous revenions à cinq heures. Mark: Pazar günü, bilirsiniz, maç öğleden sonra üçteydi, biz de beşte dönüyorduk. Actually, it didn't take us that long at the borders because we took a bus. |||||||||fronteiras||||| En realidad, no tardamos tanto en las fronteras porque cogimos un autobús. En fait, cela ne nous a pas pris autant de temps aux frontières car nous avons pris un bus. Aslında sınırdan geçmemiz o kadar uzun sürmedi çünkü otobüse bindik. Jill: Okay.

Mark: The team got a bus, so buses do have some priority, but still. |||||||||||優先權|| Марк: Команда получила автобус, поэтому автобусы имеют некоторый приоритет, но все же. You're waiting and the guy hass got to come on the bus and, you know, it's 45 minutes or whatever it is at the border on top of the trip. |||||麻煩||||||||||||||||||||||| |||||doit||||||||||||||||||||||| |||||has got to||||||||||||||||||||||| |||||deve||||||||||||||||||||||| |||||必ず||||||||||||||||||||||| Estás esperando y el tipo tiene que subir al autobús y, ya sabes, son 45 minutos o lo que sea en la frontera además del viaje. Vous attendez et le gars doit venir dans le bus et, vous savez, c'est 45 minutes ou quoi que ce soit à la frontière en plus du voyage. Je wacht en de man moet met de bus komen en, weet je, het is 45 minuten of wat het ook is bij de grens bovenop de reis. Вы ждете, а парень должен зайти в автобус, и, знаете, это 45 минут или сколько там, на границе, в дополнение к поездке. Bekliyorsunuz ve adamın otobüse binmesi gerekiyor ve bilirsiniz, yolculuğun üstüne sınırda 45 dakika ya da her neyse. Anyway, it's just a long way to go for a hockey game for eight year olds. De todos modos, es un largo camino para un partido de hockey para niños de ocho años. Jill: Right.

Mark: Ridiculous.

Jill: Tell us how you really feel.

Mark: Disappointed that we went down to the states and no shopping. Mark: Decepcionado por haber ido a los Estados Unidos y no haber ido de compras.

Jill: No shopping? I am disappointed.

Mark: Wasted opportunity. Oportunidad perdida.

Jill: Yes, yes, yes. Well, it's actually, you know, it's true. I keep wanting to go down there because there are things that I want. Je continue à vouloir y aller parce qu'il y a des choses que je veux. I want some new running shoes, I want some new boots, things like that and usually I pay quite a lot of money for those items because I want good-quality shoes and ones that are comfortable. Je veux de nouvelles chaussures de course, je veux de nouvelles bottes, des choses comme ça et généralement je paie beaucoup d'argent pour ces articles parce que je veux des chaussures de bonne qualité et confortables. There are these boots I want right now that are $250.00 in Canada and you can get the same ones in the states for $70.00.

Mark: Is that right? Mark: ¿Es eso cierto? Marc : C'est vrai ?

Jill: So, that's a huge savings. Jill: Por lo tanto, eso es un gran ahorro. Jill : Donc, c'est une énorme économie. Mark: I mean, in general, equivalent products tend to be cheaper in the states. Now with the dollar the way it is they are even cheaper, so there's certainly a lot of incentive to go buy stuff down there. Maintenant, avec le dollar tel qu'il est, ils sont encore moins chers, donc il y a certainement beaucoup d'incitations à aller acheter des choses là-bas. I guess you can buy stuff online.

Jill: Yeah.

Mark: It's still cheaper to buy online, have it shipped and pay the duty. |||||||||доставлено|||| Mark: Sigue siendo más barato comprar por Internet, que te lo envíen y pagar los aranceles. Mark : C'est toujours moins cher d'acheter en ligne, de se faire expédier et de payer les droits de douane. Mark: İnternetten satın almak, kargolatmak ve gümrük vergisini ödemek hala daha ucuz. It's still cheaper than buying it here, but if you can avoid paying the duty, yeah, that's even better. |||||||||||evitar||||||| Sigue siendo más barato que comprarlo aquí, pero si puedes evitar pagar el arancel, sí, eso es aún mejor. Jill: Yeah, that's right. Mark: So, anyway, I did that on Sunday. Saturday we, like I said, played a little football. Watched the…the rugby world championships were on. |||||錦標賽|| Vi... los campeonatos del mundo de rugby.

Jill: That's right. Mark: And I've really been enjoying the rugby. Yeah, I paid for the, whatever, rugby channel. Ouais, j'ai payé pour la, peu importe, la chaîne de rugby. It's kind of fun, actually; all the announcers, all the Irish announcers. |||||||||||播報員 |||||||sports commentators|||| C'est plutôt amusant, en fait; tous les annonceurs, tous les annonceurs irlandais. Actually, you've got a sprinkling of Irish and English and Australian, mostly Irish, but it kind of makes it fun with all the different accents when they're announcing the game. ||||少量的混合||||||||||||||||||||||||| ||||small amount|||||||||||||||||||||||commentating on|| ||||少し||||||||||||||||||||||||| En realidad, hay un poco de irlandés, inglés y australiano, sobre todo irlandés, pero es divertido ver los diferentes acentos cuando anuncian el partido. En fait, vous avez une pincée d'irlandais, d'anglais et d'australien, principalement irlandais, mais c'est assez amusant avec tous les différents accents quand ils annoncent le jeu. It's just a fun event and all the different countries that are in it and it's an exciting game. Boy, it's exciting. Jill: I've never watched a rugby game, actually, a professional rugby game. Mark: Right.

Jill: I know we were forced in P.E. Jill : Je sais que nous avons été forcés à l'EP class in high school to play the odd rugby game, you know, boys and girls mixed. |||||||occasional|||||||| |||||||jogo de rugby|||||||| clase en el instituto para jugar algún que otro partido de rugby, ya sabes, chicos y chicas mezclados. classe au lycée pour jouer à l'étrange match de rugby, vous savez, garçons et filles mélangés.

Mark: You played rugby?

Jill: Well, no, we had to in P.E. Jill: Bueno, no, tuvimos que en P.E. Jill : Eh bien, non, nous devions le faire à l'EP class, but I don't think I participated much. ||||||took part| It's not something I'm interested in, but maybe to watch, yeah. Mark: Yeah, no, I played it in high school, actually, for whatever, five years and I really enjoyed playing it. You know, it's never been much of a spectator sport here; like it hasn't been on TV much. ||||||||spectator||||||||| Aquí nunca ha sido un deporte muy visto, no ha salido mucho en la tele. Vous savez, ça n'a jamais été vraiment un sport de spectateur ici; comme s'il n'était pas beaucoup passé à la télé. Jill: No.

Mark: But whenever I had watched I liked it and so this time, actually every world cup, rugby world cup, I watched, but this time I probably watched more than I have in the past and I really enjoyed it and still am enjoying it. The final is next week. Any of you, I guess French in particular who might be listening to this podcast, that was a tough loss on Saturday to England. ||||||||||||||this audio show||||difficult||||| N'importe lequel d'entre vous, je suppose que le français en particulier qui écoute ce podcast, a été une défaite difficile samedi face à l'Angleterre. Все, кто слушает этот подкаст, в частности, французы, в субботу потерпели тяжелое поражение от сборной Англии. Bu podcast'i dinleyenler arasında özellikle Fransızların olduğunu tahmin ediyorum, Cumartesi günü İngiltere'ye karşı zor bir mağlubiyet aldık.

Jill: To England and Argentina played somebody didn't they? Jill: A Inglaterra y Argentina jugó alguien ¿no? Jill : L'Angleterre et l'Argentine ont joué quelqu'un, n'est-ce pas ? Mark: Yeah, I haven't watched the second half of that game. I don't know the score. Jill: Oh, okay.

Mark:  South Africa. Don't tell me. Anyway though, so that was fun. De todos modos, eso fue divertido.

Jill: Good.

Mark: Anyway, we thought today we would spend a few minutes answering some questions that we've had on our Forum from our members on English; English questions that they've asked us, so maybe…Jill, you've scoured the Forum and found some good questions. |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||parcouru||||||| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||thoroughly searched through||||||| Mark: En fin, hemos pensado que hoy dedicaríamos unos minutos a responder algunas preguntas que nos han hecho nuestros miembros en el Foro sobre inglés; preguntas en inglés que nos han hecho, así que quizá... Jill, has recorrido el Foro y has encontrado algunas buenas preguntas. Mark : Quoi qu'il en soit, nous avons pensé qu'aujourd'hui nous passerions quelques minutes à répondre à certaines questions que nous avons eues sur notre forum de la part de nos membres sur l'anglais ; Les questions d'anglais qu'ils nous ont posées, alors peut-être… Jill, vous avez parcouru le Forum et trouvé quelques bonnes questions. Before we do continue, any of you listening who would like your English questions answered by us, please submit them. Antes de continuar, los oyentes que deseen que respondamos a sus preguntas en inglés, por favor, envíenlas. Avant de continuer, si vous écoutez et souhaitez que nous répondions à vos questions en anglais, veuillez les soumettre. It's a little difficult right now because we don't have our Forum operating on LingQ, but we will have it up, hopefully, later this week. Ahora mismo es un poco difícil porque no tenemos nuestro Foro operativo en LingQ, pero lo tendremos, esperamos, a finales de esta semana. C'est un peu difficile en ce moment parce que nous n'avons pas notre Forum fonctionnant sur LingQ, mais nous l'aurons, espérons-le, plus tard cette semaine. If you do have a question otherwise that you'd like us to talk about, please just send us an email at Support at LingQ.com and we'll, assuming it's a good question, talk about it here. Si vous avez une autre question dont vous aimeriez que nous parlions, veuillez simplement nous envoyer un e-mail à Support at LingQ.com et nous, en supposant que c'est une bonne question, en parlerons ici. Anyway, go ahead.

Jill: So, I just picked out a few, three, meaning that's what we mean when we say a few; generally, is three questions. |||||||poucas||||||||||||||| Jill : Donc, j'en ai juste choisi quelques-uns, trois, ce qui signifie que c'est ce que nous voulons dire quand nous disons quelques-uns ; généralement, est de trois questions. Mark: Two or three.

Jill: A couple, though, is two. |||embora|| Jill: Una pareja, sin embargo, son dos.

Mark: You think few means three?

Jill: I think few means three.

Mark: Wow!

Jill: I think a couple means two and a few means three. Jill : Je pense qu'un couple signifie deux et quelques signifie trois.

Mark: You know, I mean, we might have to work this out. Mark: Sabes, quiero decir, puede que tengamos que solucionar esto. Very rarely Jill and I have these disagreements, but honestly, I (don't) think few means two, but two or threeish. |||||||||||||||||||三左右 |||||||||||||||||||around three |||||||||||||||||||三ぐらい Muy rara vez Jill y yo tenemos estos desacuerdos, pero sinceramente, (no) creo que pocos signifiquen dos, sino dos o tres más o menos. Jill et moi avons très rarement ces désaccords, mais honnêtement, je (ne) pense pas que peu signifie deux, mais deux ou trois. Zeer zelden hebben Jill en ik deze meningsverschillen, maar eerlijk gezegd denk ik (niet) dat weinig twee betekent, maar twee of drie. Yeah, it's a small number. Jill: A small number, right; exactly. |Un piccolo numero|||| So, I have three, I guess, phrases really that people asked us to explain to them. Así que tengo tres frases que la gente nos ha pedido que les expliquemos. The first one comes from one of our Japanese members named Ioko and the question she is asking about is “in the same vain.” Mark? |||||||||||伊奧子||||||||||||| |||||||||||"Ioko's question"||||||||||||vein| |||||||||||イオコ||||||||||||| La primera viene de uno de nuestros miembros japoneses llamado Ioko y la pregunta que hace es "en el mismo vano". ¿Mark? Le premier vient d'un de nos membres japonais nommé Ioko et la question qu'elle pose est "dans le même vain". Marquer? De eerste komt van een van onze Japanse leden, Ioko genaamd, en de vraag waar ze naar vraagt is "tevergeefs". Markering? Перше запитання надійшло від однієї з наших японських учасниць на ім'я Йоко, і питання, про яке вона запитує, звучить "так само марно". Марку?

Mark: Yeah, in the same vein. Mark: Ja, in dezelfde geest. I'm trying to think of a suitable, similar phrase that means the same thing. Jill: Along the same lines, which people might be confused by as well, so meaning on the same topic; on the same subject. Jill: In dezelfde lijn, waardoor mensen ook in de war kunnen raken, dus betekenis over hetzelfde onderwerp; over hetzelfde onderwerp. You're talking about something very similar. Mark: Right and so if we were talking about the weather, I would chime in then, along the same vain, or in the same vain I hear we'll be having a thunderstorm tonight. |||||||||||||interject||||||vein||||||||||||thunderstorm tonight| ||||||||||||||||||||||||stesso modo||||essere|||| |||||||||||||intervir||||||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||雷雨| Mark: Correcto, y si estuviéramos hablando del tiempo, yo intervendría entonces, en el mismo sentido, o en el mismo sentido que he oído que tendremos una tormenta esta noche. Mark : C'est vrai et donc si nous parlions de la météo, j'interviendrais alors, dans le même vain, ou dans le même vain que j'entends, nous aurons un orage ce soir. Jill: Right, so we're still talking about weather. It's still the same topic. Mark: And, actually, maybe it would be a slightly different direction for our conversation. ||||||||um pouco||||| In the same vain or in the same topic, so my example might not have been that accurate there. |||vein||||||||||||||| If we were talking about the weather than maybe along the same vain we would maybe talk about… ||||||||||||vein|||||

Jill: …the beautiful weather they've been having back east. ...el hermoso clima que han tenido en el este. Mark: Yeah, exactly.

Jill: So that October has…you know, we've had beautiful weather. Other places have had beautiful weather so, yeah, talking about the same topic, really.

Mark: Exactly, a related topic.

Jill: Right.

Mark: Yeah, so that's right, in the same vain; on the same subject; along the same lines. ||||||||vão|||||||| Jill: Right.

Mark: And those are very common phrases to hear and good phrases to use and any of you listening, save these phrases. You know, notice these phrases, use these phrases and you'll start to sound more natural, more fluent. Jill: Right.

The next one comes from Naomi in Japan as well. |||||娜奧米|||| |||||No translation needed|||| |||||ナオミ|||| She was asking about the phrase “came in dead last.” She also asked if you could just say “came in last” or “came in dead.” Preguntaba por la frase "llegó el último". También preguntó si se podía decir "llegó el último" o "llegó muerto". Elle posait des questions sur l'expression «est arrivé en dernier». Elle a également demandé si vous pouviez simplement dire "est arrivé en dernier" ou "est arrivé mort". Ze vroeg naar de uitdrukking "kwam als laatste binnen". Ze vroeg ook of je gewoon "kwam als laatste" of "dood binnenkwam" kon zeggen.

Mark: Came in dead last, presumably. Mark: Llegó el último, presumiblemente.

Jill: Came in dead last.

Mark: Hopefully, you're not coming in dead; probably not from a marathon. Mark: Esperemos que no vengas muerto; probablemente no de una maratón. Mark : J'espère que vous n'arriverez pas mort ; probablement pas d'un marathon. Jill: Yeah.

Mark: You feel dead.

Jill: So, yeah, I mean I gave her the example of “I ran a marathon last year and I came in dead last,” which means I was the very last person, so if there were 2,000 people in the run I was the last person to cross the finish line. Jill : Donc, oui, je veux dire que je lui ai donné l'exemple de "J'ai couru un marathon l'année dernière et je suis arrivée la dernière", ce qui signifie que j'étais la toute dernière personne, donc s'il y avait 2 000 personnes dans la course, j'étais la dernière personne à franchir la ligne d'arrivée. I came in dead last. Llegué el último.

Mark: Naomi, I hope this wasn't you. I hope this was from one of your content items. J'espère que cela provenait de l'un de vos éléments de contenu.

Jill: No, I gave her this example. I made it up. |ai inventé|| Me lo he inventado. Je l'ai fait. Это я придумал.

Mark: Well then Jill, I hope it wasn't you. Jill: It wasn't me. Mark: Yeah, it's typically not a good thing to come in dead last, but I guess, you know, in the case of a marathon at least you did it. Mark: Sí, normalmente no es bueno llegar el último, pero supongo que, en el caso de un maratón, al menos lo has conseguido. Mark : Ouais, ce n'est généralement pas une bonne chose d'arriver bon dernier, mais je suppose, vous savez, dans le cas d'un marathon au moins vous l'avez fait. Jill: That's right. Mark: Yeah, so it just emphasizes the fact that you weren't just towards the end, you were dead last. Mark: Sí, lo que subraya el hecho de que no sólo estabas al final, sino que eras el último. Mark : Ouais, donc ça met juste l'accent sur le fait que tu n'étais pas juste vers la fin, tu étais bon dernier. Jill: You were the very last person. You finished in last place. I mean, there are a number of ways we could say this, but yeah.

Mark: Really, just to emphasize. The word dead, I guess, can be used in other instances to emphasize. ||||||||||situations or examples|| Like a “dead heat” when you are in a race and you're tied with someone else, you're in a…it's called a dead heat. ||tie|competition|||||||||||||||||||| Como un "empate" cuando estás en una carrera y estás empatado con otro, estás en un... se llama empate. Comme un « ex aequo » quand vous êtes dans une course et que vous êtes à égalité avec quelqu'un d'autre, vous êtes dans un… ça s'appelle un ex aequo. Net als een "dead heat" wanneer je in een race zit en je bent vastgebonden met iemand anders, zit je in een...het heet een dead heat. There is no way to decide who won. You know, a photo finish type of idea, except if it's a dead heat there is no obvious winner. Ya sabes, una idea del tipo foto finish, excepto que si es un empate no hay un ganador obvio. Jill: So, that's came in dead last and then another phrase that I think, actually, is quite common as well and useful came to us from Israel in Spain and he asked about “to come across.” You can come across people or situations and it just means that you encounter or you meet those people. Jill: Esa es la última frase y otra que creo que también es bastante común y que nos llegó desde Israel, España, y nos preguntó sobre "to come across", que significa "encontrarse con personas o situaciones". Jill: Donc, c'est arrivé en dernier, puis une autre phrase qui, je pense, est également assez courante et utile nous est venue d'Israël en Espagne et il a demandé "à rencontrer". Vous pouvez rencontrer des personnes ou des situations et cela signifie simplement que vous rencontrez ou que vous rencontrez ces personnes. Jill: Dus dat kwam als laatste binnen en toen kwam er een andere zin die volgens mij ook heel gewoon en nuttig is, uit Israël in Spanje en hij vroeg naar "overkomen". Je kunt mensen of situaties tegenkomen en het betekent gewoon dat je die mensen tegenkomt of ontmoet. Mark: It's just sort of a more casual way. I don't know about casual, but it's another way of saying, you know, I met, I found or I encountered. “Came across,” it's a nicer way of saying or more powerful way, yeah. Jill: Yeah, I mean, you could say I came across…I was reading your manual and I came across some errors, so I'm just going to point them out for you. Jill : Ouais, je veux dire, vous pourriez dire que je suis tombé sur… Je lisais votre manuel et j'ai trouvé quelques erreurs, donc je vais juste vous les signaler. That means, you know, you noticed some errors. You spotted, you saw, you encountered some errors. |noticed||||came across|| Viste, viste, encontraste algunos errores.

Mark: Right or I was cleaning up the kitchen yesterday and I came across some old photographs of my trip to Spain. Boy, you sure look goofy, you know. ||||傻乎乎|| ||||ridicule|| ||||silly|| Vaya, sí que pareces tonto. Garçon, tu as vraiment l'air maladroit, tu sais.

Jill: Exactly.

Mark: Something like that anyway, yeah. Again, a nice phrase to learn and you'll come across it quite often I think. Jill: There you go. You'll encounter it quite often. |encontrará||| Mark: I think that was good. I thought those were all good phrases. Again, any of you listening, please, if you've got questions, phrases, words, questions about English, whatever you're curious about, we're going to start answering our listener questions, both LingQ members, EnglishLingQ listeners, all of you out there, on our podcast, so please send them in and we'll be happy to discuss them and you can listen for your answers.
