Well hello everyone, I hope you are all well, and have had a good week.
大家好，我希望你们都很好，并度过美好的一周。
It's been very warm here in England. In fact, the other day, on Tuesday, it was the hottest day that England has ever had. So it got up to 40 degrees at Heathrow which is where there is an airport, which is a very...It's Britain's busiest airport.And it got up to 40 degrees.
英国这里的天气很暖和。事实上，在前两天，也就是周二，是英国有史以来最炎热的一天。希思罗的气温高达40度，那是一个非常……希斯罗是英国最繁忙的机场。那里的气温高达40度。
Now, I know some of you are in very hot climates. Some of you are in Japan, some of you are in China, and it's very hot there at the moment.
我知道你们中的一些人生活在非常炎热的气候中。你们有些人在日本，有些人在中国，那里现在非常热。
Some of you in not so hot places. I think there's one person that's in Australia, and in Australia at the moment, it's their winter so it's quite cold.
而你们中的一些人则住在不那么热的地方。我想你们中的其中一位孩子在澳大利亚，此时此刻是澳大利亚的冬天，所以相当寒冷。
And I know that those of you that live in hot places are very used to the heat. But as I've told you before England is a very cold country. In fact, we spend most of our time trying to stay warm.
我知道生活在炎热地区的人对酷暑早已习以为常。但正如我之前告诉你们的，英国是一个非常寒冷的国家。事实上，我们在大部分时间都在努力保持温暖。
We have central heating in our housewhich is hot water which is pumped around our house. And if you can see behind me, you can see my wood burning stove. And I like that in the winter to keep the house nice and warm. But at the moment, I haven't got a fire lit that would be crazy because it's been very very hot indeed.
我们的房子里有中央暖气，热水通过水泵输送到房屋的各个地方。如果你将目光越过我身后，就可以看见用于烧木柴的火炉。我喜欢在冬天让房子保持舒适温暖。但目前，我还没有点火，如果那么做的话就太疯狂了，因为它确实非常非常热。
But one of the things that Britain does not haveand I know some of my students this week have said "What? How crazy!" We do not have air conditioning. So we don't have air conditioning because we don't need to have air conditioning because it's a cold country.
但是，有一样东西是英国没有的，我的一些学生在这周上课的时候和我说：“什么？这也太疯狂了！”那就是：我们没有空调。我们没有空调，是因为英国是一个寒冷的国家，所以我们不需要空调。
So when houses are builtthey never put air conditioning in. Some schools will have it because it keeps students warm and cool in the summer. And shops will have it, and hotels will have it.
所以当房子建起来的时候，人们从不会把空调也安装上去。有的学校装有空调，因为它能让学生们在夏天感到舒适和凉爽。商店里也装有空调，酒店也装有空调。
But in my 50 years that I've been living, I've never known any family in Britain have air conditioning in their house. Which means that when the temperature gets up to 40 degrees, it is very very hot in our houses. And if we open our windows, it's hotter outside often than it is inside.
但是在我生活的50年里，我从来没有听说过英国有哪个家庭会在家里安装空调。这也意味着，当温度上升到40度时，我们的房子内部会非常非常热。而如果我们打开窗户，室外往往比室内更加炎热。
So we don't have air conditioning. The reason why we don't bother really is that when the weather is hot, it never lasts for very long in Britain. We normally have a week or two weeks, then it gets back to normal.
所以我们不安装空调。我们不这么做的原因是，在英国，天气热的时候不会持续很长时间。通常只持续一到两个星期，然后气温就会回到正常水平。
And today is a sunny day and it's quite warm.And I'm teaching in a T-shirt rather than a shirt that I normally wear, but it's not really hot. But it was the hottest that Britain has ever ever known.
今天是一个晴朗的日子，天气相当温暖。虽然我今天穿着T恤上课，而不是像往常一样穿着衬衫，但今天的天气并不是很热。但这段时间是英国有史以来最热的时期。
It was quite fun, it was quite nice because we have a paddling pool in our garden, and we have a nice barbecue. And we sit outand it's really nice you can eat out in the evening.
炎热的天气也有充满乐趣的时候，因为我们的花园里有一个充气游泳池，还有一个非常不错的烧烤架。我们坐在外面，晚上可以在户外用餐，这非常舒服。
But on Tuesday in the afternoon, I took the dogs into my garden to give them a little run around, and it was the hottest I've ever known Britain to be. It was horrible horrible heat.
但是在星期二下午，我带着我的狗狗在我花园里活动玩耍一下，这是我所经历过的英国最热的一天。气温高得十分可怕。
And it's alright if you can sit in eating ice lollies or playing in the garden and sitting in the shade. But it's not much fun if you're working if you're having to do lots of jobs that are outside in the heat. So, that's been my week.
如果你坐在花园里吃冰棍或是在花园里玩耍，坐在树荫下乘凉，那就没什么问题。但是，如果你需要工作，如果你不得不在高温下做很多工作的话，那便毫无乐趣可言。所以，这就是我的一周。
And it is not a very clever idea to go outin the sun when it's really strong because you end up burning, it's very dangerous. In fact it can kill you, you have to drink lots and lots of water. It's not a very clever thing to do to go out in the midday sun.
在烈日当空的时候出去不是一个非常聪明的主意，因为你最终会被晒伤，这非常危险。事实上，它还能危及到你的生命，你必须喝大量的水来补充水分。在正午的阳光下外出并不是一件非常聪明的事情。
So that's a bit of a clue as to our story today about being clever.
所以，这是与我们今天关于聪明的故事有关的一点线索。
We are often clever in that we can be really good at things like maths. In Britain, we call it "maths", in America they call it "math" but we call it "maths". You can be really good at English. I wonder what your good at.
我们通常很聪明，因为我们可以在数学等方面非常出色。在英国我们称之为“maths”，在美国他们称之为“math”，但我们称之为“maths”。你还可以在英语方面非常出色。我想知道你擅长什么呢？
Now, some people are good at things where they don't really really have to use their brain all the time. When we're doing maths, we've got to work things out. When we're writing a story or doing history, we've got to really think and use our brains.
而有些人的专长，并非总是需要使用到他们的大脑的事情。当我们做数学时，我们想着必须把问题解决掉。当我们写故事或做历史时，我们必须真正地去思考和动脑筋。
Some of us are good at other things like playing a musical instrument or drawing. But we all need to be quite good at things like English and maths.
有些人在其它方面很有天赋，比如演奏乐器或绘画。但是，我们都需要在英语和数学等方面表现得相当出色。
And being clever, sometimes it's called being brainy, it means you can know lots and lots about different things. And it's a funny thing because we call this our intelligence or our IQ. Our IQ.
聪明有时候也被称为有头脑，意思是说你懂得很多不同的事情。这很有意思，我们将其称之为智力，或者智商。我们的IQ。
So we can find things really easy. Sometimes people find maths really easy, they're not like me that has to go use my fingers - that I don’t, but - I sometimes find maths a little bit tricky when I was at school. So that's called being brainy.
因此，我们有时候会发现做某件事非常容易。有时候，人们会觉得数学很简单，他们不需要像我这样必须用手指来计算……我并不会真的这样做，但在我上学的时候，我有时发现数学有点棘手。因此，这叫做有头脑。
But what I want to say to you is that you can be brainy in other ways as well. You can be clever in other ways. Sometimes we find maths or science or history or geography or English really difficult, and it doesn't mean that we're that we're not brainy, it's just really hard.
但我想说的是，你也可以在其他方面表现得很有头脑。你的聪明可以体现在别的地方。有时候，我们会发现数学、科学、历史、地理或英语真的很难，这并不代表着我们不聪明，只是这些题目真的很难。
But you can also be brainy in what you're like as a person. What we do with our brain is our IQ but we also have EQ and it's called our emotional intelligence which sounds very grand. But what it means is having tothink about how people feel, how their feeling. Not to upset people.
但是，你也可以聪明地表现自己的为人。我们用大脑做事时运用的是我们的智商，但我们也有EQ，也就是我们的情商，它听起来非常宏大，但它的意思其实就是我们必须考虑到他人的感受，他们的感受如何。不让人们感到不安。
Sometimes we say to stand in someone else's shoes. So if you see a child in your class all alone, and looking sad and lonely, you go up and be a good friend to them. Because you understand how they might be feeling. And that's our EQ.
有时我们会说，要设身处地地为人着想。因此，如果你在班上看到一个孩子独自一人，他看起来很悲伤、很孤独的时候，你如果能做到走上前去和他们成为好朋友，就很棒。因为你能理解他们的感受，这就是我们的EQ。
So being brainy is often our IQ but we can be brainy in a different way. We can be clever by helping other people or understanding how other people feel.
因此，有头脑往往指代的是我们的智商高，但我们的聪明也可以体现在其他事情上。我们可以通过帮助他人或理解他人的感受来体现出我们的聪明。
And sometimes being brainy is a bit of bore, it's actually sometimes it's not much fun. At school sometimes, if you're really good at something, the teacher just gives you more or more work to do. That's not so much fun.
但有时候，聪明是有点无聊的，实际上它有时候并不怎么有趣。在学校里，有时候，如果你非常擅长做某件事，老师会给你与其相关的更多作业。这太没意思了。
But what I say is that we need a bit of a balance. We need to be good at some things and we work hard at it, but we also need our other skills as well. Being a good friend, being kind, understanding how other people feel, that's really important.
但我要说的是，我们需要一点平衡。我们需要擅长做一些事情，并为此勤奋刻苦，但我们也需要具备其他的技能，例如成为他人好友，待人和善，理解他人感受等等，这真的很重要。
And we're gonna look at this story, Little Miss Brainy, we'll see whether she has emotional intelligenceor brainy intelligence, meaning that she understands how people think or whether she just knows a great deal. Should we find out.
我们今天看的故事，是聪明小姐的故事，我们会看到她是否具有情商或脑商，也就是说，她是否能够了解他人的想法，还是说她只是单纯地知道很多东西。让我们来看看吧。
It's quite a good picture of her. Have a little look here. Here she is. Little Miss Brainy.
我这里有一张她的照片。让我们来看看。这就是她。聪明小姐。
So we've had lots of Misters and now we've got Little Miss, Little Miss Brainy.
我们已经认识了许多的奇先生，现在我们来认识一位妙小姐，聪明小姐。
Let's see what she's like. Whether we're gonna see her home? I think, last week we didn't really have a very good picture of Mr Strong's home. We only saw it when he broke the door off the hinges. Let's see if we find out about Little Miss Brainy. Okay, here we go.
让我们看看她是什么样子的。我们是否会看到她的家长什么样呢？在上周，我们没有对强壮先生的家留下特别好的印象。我们只是在他把门从铰链上弄下来的时候看到了它的模样。让我们看看能否知道聪明小姐的房子长什么样吧。好了，我们开始吧。
Ah, well, we can see the inside of a bedroom. Would you like to have a bedroom like this? I wonder whether your bedroom looks like this. Look at the flowers on the wall, that's called wallpaper. And she's got a bedand a rug on the floor.
啊，好吧，我们（从绘本上）可以看到一间卧室的内部。你想拥有一间这样的卧室吗？我想知道你的卧室是否和它相像呢。看看墙上的那些花朵，它是一种叫做墙纸的东西。她有一张床，地板上有一块地毯。聪明小姐是什么颜色呢？
And what color is she? She's blue. Bit like Mr Bump. With yellow hair. And what has she got in her hair? A red ribbon, that's rather pretty, doesn't it?
她是蓝色的。有点像莽撞先生。她的头发是黄色的。她的头发上有什么？一条红丝带，相当漂亮，不是吗？
////故事正文开始////
「Little Miss Brainy was very brainy.」
「聪明小姐非常聪明。」
「She knew an awful lot of things.」
「她知道很多很多的事情。」
「She knew simple things such as if you want a good night's sleep, you have to go to bed.」
「其中一些比较简单的，例如：如果你想睡个好觉，你就必须得上床睡觉。」
I think everybody knows that, don't they? If you want to have a good night's sleep, well you've got to go to bed, unless you fall asleep on the floor or on the sofa. I wonder whether you've ever done that.
我想每个人都知道这一点，不是吗？如果你想睡个好觉，你就得上床睡觉，除非你在地板上或沙发上睡着了。我想知道你是否曾这样做过呢。
Come on, Miss Brainy, that is a very simple thing.
拜托，聪明小姐，这是很简单的事情。
「And if you want to get up, first, you have to wake up.」
「而如果你想起床，首先，你必须得醒过来。」
I never knew that. I'm joking. Of course I knew that if you want to get up, then first you have to wake up.
我从来不知道这件事。我是在开玩笑的。我当然知道，如果你想起床，那么首先你必须得醒过来。
We don't normally walk around asleep. Although some people do, we call this sleep walking. It's when you're not really awake, you wake and you're walking around in the middle of the night. Sometimes it happens when you're a little bit poorly if you've got a fever.
我们通常不会在睡梦中走动。尽管有些人会这样做，我们称之为梦游。这是当你没有真正醒来的时候，你半梦半醒地在半夜走来走去。有时候如果你发烧了，身体有点不舒服，就会出现这种情况。
I think I know that that if you want to get up then first you have to wake up. And I think you probably know that as well.
我想我知道，如果你想起床，那么首先你必须得醒过来。我想你可能也知道这一点。
「She knew that if you don't want to be hungry you have to eat.」
「她知道，如果你不想饿着肚子，那么你就得吃东西。」
Yeah, I think that's another silly one, isn't it? If you don't want to be hungry, you have to eat.
是的，我认为这是另一个愚蠢例子，不是吗？如果你不想饿着肚子，你就得吃东西。
And what is she eating? She is eating something that is very very popular in England. She is eating what we call bangers and mash.
那她在吃什么呢？她正在吃一些在英国非常非常常见的东西。她在吃我们称之为香肠和土豆泥的东西。
Bangers is a name we give to sausages which are little bits of meat in a tube shape, and then we have a skin around it. And we cook them on the barbecue, or in the oven, or in a frying pan. They called sausages. I like sausages.
“Banger”是我们给香肠起的一个名字，它是管状的小肉块，在它的周围包裹着一层皮。我们把它们放在烧烤架上、烤箱里或煎锅里烹饪。它们叫香肠。我喜欢香肠。
And mash is the potatoes and in Britain we eat a lot of potatoes. When I go to countries such as China, I eat lots of noodles and I eat lots of rice. In Britain, we cook potatoes nearly every single day. We eat a lot of potatoes. They're called our staple food, it's a food that most people will have with a meal.
而土豆泥就是土豆制成的，在英国我们吃很多土豆。当我去中国等国家的时候，我会吃很多的面条和米饭。在英国，我们几乎每天都吃土豆。我们吃大量的土豆。它们被称为我们的主食，它是大多数人在吃饭时都会吃的食物。
And you can cook potatoes in different ways. This one has been mashed. It's been cooked, and then they broken it all upand it's made into almost like a paste. It's called mashed potato. We also have roast potatoes that we cook in the oven. We have jacket potatoes which are potatoes with their skins cooked in the oven.
而且你可以用不同的方式烹饪土豆。土豆泥就是其中一种做法。人们把土豆煮熟后，再把它全部打碎，做成几乎像糊状的东西。这就是所谓的土豆泥。我们也有在烤箱中烹制的烤马铃薯。我们还有叫“jacket potato”的做法，将带皮的马铃薯放入烤箱烹制。
And then my favorite one of all - I wonder if you can guess what it is?
然后是我最喜欢的一种做法——你能猜到它是什么吗？
