today we are going to talk about self inroduction.

今天我们要讨论自我介绍。

the answer to that dreaded question tell me about yourself.

那个令人畏惧的问题的答案：Tell me about yourself（跟我谈谈你自己）。

now to some of you this topic may seem very basic but learning to introduce yourself properly is incredibly important.

对你们中一些人来说，这个话题可能看起来很基础，但学会正确地介绍自己非常重要。

you might need to introduce yourself without any forewarning so you need to be prepared.

你可能需要在没有任何预先通知的情况下介绍自己，所以你需要做好准备。

you may need to introduce yourself in your English class or in a job interview.

你可能需要在英语课上或求职面试中介绍自己。

you might need to introduce yourself at a new job or at a new hobby or Leisure activity.

你可能需要在新工作或新的兴趣爱好或休闲活动中介绍自己。

you may even need to introduce yourself at a big event or convention in front of thousands of people.

你甚至可能需要在大型活动或大会上在成千上万的人面前介绍自己。

I feel very nervous and anxious when I have to introduce myself to large groups of people and English is my first language.

当我必须向大群人介绍自己时，我会感到非常紧张和焦虑，而英语是我的母语。

for Learners of English for my students this is incredibly intimidating.

对于英语学习者、对于我的学生来说，这非常令人生畏。

in order to successfully introduce yourself you must have your self introduction pre-written and learned.

为了成功地介绍自己，你必须事先写好并记住你的自我介绍。

you have to be prepared.

你必须做好准备。

in this video I am going to guide you through this process.

在这个视频里，我将引导你完成这个过程。

at the end of this lesson you will have a complete self-introduction that is ready to use and ready for you to learn off by heart.

在本课结束时，你将拥有一个完整的自我介绍，可以直接使用并背诵记住。

I encourage you to share your introductions in the comment section down below so that the community and I may assist you and correct you.

我鼓励你在下面的评论区分享你的自我介绍，以便我和社区可以帮助并纠正你。

so let's start with the basics of a self - inroduction.

那我们先从自我介绍的基础开始。

the very first thing that you'll need to say when introducing yourself is a greeting.

介绍自己时你首先需要说的就是一个问候语。

now you can have formal Greetings or you can have informal greetings.

现在你可以使用正式的问候语，也可以使用非正式的问候语。

it depends where you are the situation you are in.

这取决于你在哪里、以及你所处的情况。

let's start with formal greetings.

我们先从正式的问候语开始。

obviously hello hello can be both formal and informal but it's fine to use it in a formal situation.

显然，“hello/hello”既可用于正式场合也可用于非正式场合，但在正式场合使用它也是可以的。

you also have good morning good afternoon and good evening.

你也可以说“good morning”“good afternoon”和“good evening”。

make sure you pay particular attention to what time of day it is.

务必特别注意现在是一天中的哪个时段。

I have said good morning in the evening and good evening in the morning before.

我曾经在晚上说过“good morning”，也在早上说过“good evening”。

one thing to note is the use of good day in British English.

有一点需要注意的是英国英语中“good day”的用法。

good day is considered very oldfashioned very very very formal.

“good day”被认为非常过时、非常非常非常正式。

it's not commonly used however it is very common in Australian English.

它不常被使用，然而在澳大利亚英语中却非常常见。

they kind of shorten it down to good day good day and I would say that good day.

他们有点把它缩短成“good day, good day”，我会说那句“good day”。

I wonder what Emma from English will think of me saying good day will she approve I'll ask her.

我想知道来自 English 的 Emma 会如何看我说“good day”——她会赞同吗？我会问她。

but good day is more informal.

但“good day”更随意一些。

but this again is if you're in Australia.

不过这又取决于你是否身处澳大利亚。

it's just something I've noticed people using in my comment section good day um.

这是我在评论区注意到的人们使用的一句话，“good day，嗯”。

I can see why you would use it.

我能理解你为什么会用它。

it appears to be a greeting that is suitable for all hours of the day when in reality in British English it's just a very very old-fashioned saying.

它看起来像是在任何时间都适用的问候语，而实际上在英国英语中这只是一个非常非常过时的说法。

also note that good night is normally a sendoff an equivalent for goodbye you say it when you are leaving instead of when you are greeting someone.

另外注意“good night”通常是告别用语，相当于“goodbye”，你在离开时说它，而不是在打招呼时说。

if you're introducing yourself in the nighttime you would say good evening.

如果你在夜间自我介绍，你会说“good evening”。

now let's talk about informal greetings.

现在我们来谈谈非正式的问候语。

it's really important for you to find one that you feel comfortable with.

找到一个让你感觉舒服的问候方式非常重要。

there are lots of informal greetings like hey what's up hi higher yo there's even what's good which is quite an American one.

有很多非正式的问候语，比如“hey”“what's up”“hi”“hiya”“yo”，甚至还有“what's good”，这是相当美国化的。

honestly if I said yo when I was introducing myself in an English class or in a less formal situation I would feel really stupid because it doesn't suit me.

老实说，如果我在英语课或在不那么正式的场合自我介绍时说“yo”，我会觉得很傻，因为那不适合我。

my particular region doesn't use yo so it feels a bit forced.

我所在的地区通常不用“yo”，所以说出来会感觉有点生硬。

I really admire people who can just stand up and say yo what's good but it's not going to happen for me.

我真的很佩服那些能站起来直接说“yo what's good”的人，但对我来说做不到。

so make sure you pick one that you feel really comfortable saying.

所以一定要选择一个你说起来非常舒服的表达。

next of course we have your name.

接下来当然是你的名字。

now there are many ways of introducing your name.

现在有很多介绍自己名字的方式。

the very basic ones like I'm or I am I'm Lucy I am Lucy.

非常基础的有像I'm 或 I am：I'm Lucy / I am Lucy（我是露西）。

or or if you're introducing yourself in a situation where the majority of the audience cannot see you for example on the telephone no one can really see you when you're speaking on the telephone.

或者，如果你在一个大多数听众看不见你的场合介绍自己，例如在电话里，当你在电话中说话时，没人能真正看到你。

you can say my name is or my names with the apostrophe s the contracted form.

你可以说 my name is，或者用带撇号s的缩略形式 my name's。

or if you're in a very large Auditorium or Convention Center then you might want to use this is this is Lucy.

或者如果你在一个非常大的礼堂或会展中心，你可能想用 this is：this is Lucy（我是露西）。

on the telephone I would normally say hi this is Lucy speaker or this is Lucy.

在电话里我通常会说 hi this is Lucy speaker 或者 this is Lucy。

next let's talk about location where you're from and where you're living.

接下来我们来谈谈地点：你来自哪里以及你居住在哪里。

there are many variations of this I'm going to start with the most basic and move on to slightly more complicated ways of describing your geographical location.

这种表达有很多变体，我将从最基础的开始，然后再讲一些稍微复杂的描述地理位置的方式。

firstly we have I'm from and then the place name I'm from bedfordshire.

首先我们有 I'm from 加地点名：I'm from Bedfordshire（我来自贝德福德郡）。

we also have I'm and then the nationality adjective I'm British I'm English.

我们也有 I'm 加国籍形容词：I'm British / I'm English（我是英国人／我是英格兰人）。

if you are from somewhere that is quite far from the place where you're introducing yourself you can say I come from and then you can name that place.

如果你来自的地方离你介绍自己的地方相当远，你可以说 I come from 然后说出那个地方。

come from implies a little bit more of a journey.

if you want to say where you grew up you can say I was born and raised in place name I was born and raised in England.

如果你想说你在哪里长大的，你可以说 I was born and raised in 地点名：I was born and raised in England（我在英格兰出生和长大）。

if you were born in one place but grew up in a different place you can say I was born in France but but raised in Sweden.

如果你出生在一个地方但在另一个地方长大，你可以说 I was born in France but raised in Sweden（我出生在法国，但在瑞典长大）。

If you want to say that you are from one place but are now living in another place there are various options.

如果你想说你来自一个地方但现在住在另一个地方，有多种表达方式。

You can say I grew up in I grew up in LA but now live in New York.

你可以说 I grew up in：I grew up in LA but now live in New York（我在洛杉矶长大，但现在住在纽约）。

I'm originally from Edinburgh but I'm now based in London.

如果你想说你在某地住了多久，你可以说：I've been living in London for 3 years（我已经在伦敦住了三年），或者 I've spent the past few years in Paris（过去几年我在巴黎）。

now those are the basics let's talk about some other options that you can add on to your self - introduction.

现在这些是基础内容，让我们来讨论一些你可以加入自我介绍的其他选项。

a very important option is your position and your company.

一个非常重要的选项是你的职位和公司。

now the last point in this vocabulary section of the lesson I want to talk to you about the dreaded fun fact.

现在在本课词汇部分的最后一点，我想和你谈谈令人恐惧的“有趣事实”（the dreaded fun fact）。

I've done that on YouTube I need to calm down.

我在 YouTube 上也做过那样，我需要冷静一下。

have a think if you want to do bonus homework share your fun fact about yourself but this is optional.

想一想，如果你想做额外作业的话，可以分享你自己的有趣事实，但这是可选的。

I know how horrible the fun fact can be now now I've given you loads of different options I've given you the basics and then you can add on the options but you'll be left with a lot of short sentences.

我知道有趣事实有多糟糕。现在我已经给了你很多不同的选项，我给了你基础句型，然后你可以在此基础上添加选项，但你会得到很多短句子。

let's see how mine would look.

让我们看看我的会是什么样子。

早上好，大家好，我的名字是 Lucy，我24岁，我来自贝德福德郡，我的工作是英语教师，我是市场营销专业毕业生，我非常喜欢跑步和健身课。

now whilst all of that is grammatically correct very clear if I do say so myself I think it would be a lot better if I condensed these seven sentences down into two flowing sentences.

现在，尽管这些句子在语法上都是正确的——如果我自己说的话——非常清楚，但我认为如果我把这七句话压缩成两句更流畅的句子会好得多。

what do you think of this?

你觉得这个怎么样？

so much better so much shorter so much more natural.

好得多，短得多，也更自然。

see if you can condense your introduction down to two flowing sentences minus the greeting that could be a little sentence on its own.

试着把你的自我介绍压缩成两句流畅的句子，问候语可以单独作为一句。

I haven't removed any of the information right.

我并没有删掉任何信息，对吧。

I really look forward to reading all of your introductions and your fun facts if you choose to do so.

我很期待阅读你们所有的自我介绍和有趣的事实，如果你们愿意分享的话。

feel free to correct each other and help each other I will also be looking at the first comments and I'll look at a handful throughout the week as well when I can.

随时可以互相纠正和帮助，我也会查看首条评论，并且在本周有空时会看几条。

别忘了在我所有的社交媒体上关注我，我有Facebook、Instagram、Twitter和我的Lucy Bella L频道，那里我会谈论我的生活，而不是英语。

given me an offer to pass on to you.

给了我一个可以转告给你们的优惠。

you will get $ 10.

你将得到10美元。

我刚看到有个人——我本以为他不抽烟——就在我窗外抽烟。

I wonder what Emma from English will think of me saying good day will she approve I'll ask her.

我想知道来自 English 的 Emma 会如何看我说“good day”——她会赞同吗？我会问她。

but good day is more informal.

但“good day”更随意一些。

but this again is if you're in Australia.

不过这又取决于你是否身处澳大利亚。

it's just something I've noticed people using in my comment section good day um.

这是我在评论区注意到的人们使用的一句话，“good day，嗯”。

I can see why you would use it.

我能理解你为什么会用它。

it appears to be a greeting that is suitable for all hours of the day when in reality in British English it's just a very very old-fashioned saying.

它看起来像是在任何时间都适用的问候语，而实际上在英国英语中这只是一个非常非常过时的说法。

also note that good night is normally a sendoff an equivalent for goodbye you say it when you are leaving instead of when you are greeting someone.

另外注意“good night”通常是告别用语，相当于“goodbye”，你在离开时说它，而不是在打招呼时说。

if you're introducing yourself in the nighttime you would say good evening.

如果你在夜间自我介绍，你会说“good evening”。

now let's talk about informal greetings.

现在我们来谈谈非正式的问候语。

it's really important for you to find one that you feel comfortable with.

找到一个让你感觉舒服的问候方式非常重要。

there are lots of informal greetings like hey what's up hi higher yo there's even what's good which is quite an American one.

有很多非正式的问候语，比如“hey”“what's up”“hi”“hiya”“yo”，甚至还有“what's good”，这是相当美国化的。

honestly if I said yo when I was introducing myself in an English class or in a less formal situation I would feel really stupid because it doesn't suit me.

老实说，如果我在英语课或在不那么正式的场合自我介绍时说“yo”，我会觉得很傻，因为那不适合我。

my particular region doesn't use yo so it feels a bit forced.

我所在的地区通常不用“yo”，所以说出来会感觉有点生硬。

I really admire people who can just stand up and say yo what's good but it's not going to happen for me.

我真的很佩服那些能站起来直接说“yo what's good”的人，但对我来说做不到。

so make sure you pick one that you feel really comfortable saying.

所以一定要选择一个你说起来非常舒服的表达。

next of course we have your name.

接下来当然是你的名字。

now there are many ways of introducing your name.

现在有很多介绍自己名字的方式。

the very basic ones like I'm or I am I'm Lucy I am Lucy.

非常基础的有像I'm 或 I am：I'm Lucy / I am Lucy（我是露西）。

or or if you're introducing yourself in a situation where the majority of the audience cannot see you for example on the telephone no one can really see you when you're speaking on the telephone.

或者，如果你在一个大多数听众看不见你的场合介绍自己，例如在电话里，当你在电话中说话时，没人能真正看到你。

you can say my name is or my names with the apostrophe s the contracted form.

你可以说 my name is，或者用带撇号s的缩略形式 my name's。

or if you're in a very large Auditorium or Convention Center then you might want to use this is this is Lucy.

或者如果你在一个非常大的礼堂或会展中心，你可能想用 this is：this is Lucy（我是露西）。

on the telephone I would normally say hi this is Lucy speaker or this is Lucy.

在电话里我通常会说 hi this is Lucy speaker 或者 this is Lucy。

next let's talk about location where you're from and where you're living.

接下来我们来谈谈地点：你来自哪里以及你居住在哪里。

there are many variations of this I'm going to start with the most basic and move on to slightly more complicated ways of describing your geographical location.

这种表达有很多变体，我将从最基础的开始，然后再讲一些稍微复杂的描述地理位置的方式。

firstly we have I'm from and then the place name I'm from bedfordshire.

首先我们有 I'm from 加地点名：I'm from Bedfordshire（我来自贝德福德郡）。

we also have I'm and then the nationality adjective I'm British I'm English.

我们也有 I'm 加国籍形容词：I'm British / I'm English（我是英国人／我是英格兰人）。

if you are from somewhere that is quite far from the place where you're introducing yourself you can say I come from and then you can name that place.

如果你来自的地方离你介绍自己的地方相当远，你可以说 I come from 然后说出那个地方。

如果你想说你在哪里长大的，你可以说 I was born and raised in 地点名：I was born and raised in England（我在英格兰出生和长大）。

if you were born in one place but grew up in a different place you can say I was born in France but but raised in Sweden.

如果你出生在一个地方但在另一个地方长大，你可以说 I was born in France but raised in Sweden（我出生在法国，但在瑞典长大）。

If you want to say that you are from one place but are now living in another place there are various options.

如果你想说你来自一个地方但现在住在另一个地方，有多种表达方式。

You can say I grew up in I grew up in LA but now live in New York.

你可以说 I grew up in：I grew up in LA but now live in New York（我在洛杉矶长大，但现在住在纽约）。

我原来来自爱丁堡，但现在在伦敦工作/居住。

If you want to say how long you have lived in a certain place you can say I've been living in London for 3 years or I've spent the past few years in Paris.

now those are the basics let's talk about some other options that you can add on to your self - introduction.

现在这些是基础内容，让我们来讨论一些你可以加入自我介绍的其他选项。

a very important option is your position and your company.

一个非常重要的选项是你的职位和公司。

I'm a biology post grad.

我是生物学研究生。

shortening it down to grad is more informal so it might be something that you do at a convention or in your English class.

把它缩短成 grad 更随意，所以这可能是在会议上或英语课上你会说的表达。

if you want to talk about courses or other achievements you can say I'm currently taking a course in subject maths.

如果你想谈论课程或其他成就，你可以说我目前在学一门关于数学的课程（I'm currently taking a course in subject maths）。

显然有一些常见的说法，比如 I have a brother I have a sister I have a mom and a dad（我有一个兄弟、有一个姐妹、有父母）。

but what if you want to give a little bit more information and also show off your language skills.

now the last point in this vocabulary section of the lesson I want to talk to you about the dreaded fun fact.

现在在本课词汇部分的最后一点，我想和你谈谈令人恐惧的“有趣事实”（the dreaded fun fact）。

我参加过很多活动、很多大会，也在很多英语课堂上做自我介绍，老师和演讲者们喜欢让你说一个关于你自己的有趣事实。

I must admit I have asked my students to provide a fun fact about themselves.

我必须承认我也曾让学生提供关于他们自己的有趣事实。

这很烦人，因为你得站起来说：我的名字是……我的工作是……我的有趣事实是……突然想出一个关于自己的有趣事实可能非常令人生畏，很难做到。

have a think if you want to do bonus homework share your fun fact about yourself but this is optional.

想一想，如果你想做额外作业的话，可以分享你自己的有趣事实，但这是可选的。

let's see how mine would look.

让我们看看我的会是什么样子。

good morning everyone my name is Lucy I am 24 years old I am from bedfordshire I work as an English teacher I am a marketing graduate I'm a big fan of running and fitness classes.

早上好，大家好，我的名字是 Lucy，我24岁，我来自贝德福德郡，我的工作是英语教师，我是市场营销专业毕业生，我非常喜欢跑步和健身课。

now whilst all of that is grammatically correct very clear if I do say so myself I think it would be a lot better if I condensed these seven sentences down into two flowing sentences.

现在，尽管这些句子在语法上都是正确的——如果我自己说的话——非常清楚，但我认为如果我把这七句话压缩成两句更流畅的句子会好得多。

what do you think of this?

你觉得这个怎么样？
