Hey guys, today's Mini English lesson is on the word "get". 

嗨大家好，今天的迷你英語(yǔ)課是關(guān)于“get”這個(gè)單詞的。

Why is the word "get" important? It is the 7th most common verb in English. You need to get using it.

為什么“get”這個(gè)詞這么重要呢？它是英語(yǔ)中最常見(jiàn)的動(dòng)詞的第七名。你會(huì)經(jīng)常需要使用它。

The first use of the word "get" is to arrive somewhere.

Get這個(gè)詞的第一個(gè)用法是到達(dá)某個(gè)地方。

It took me 5 hours to get from the airport to the hotel.

從機(jī)場(chǎng)到旅館花了我5個(gè)小時(shí)。

The second meaning is to obtain.

第二個(gè)意思是獲得。

I got a wonderful present for my birthday. I got a car.

我得到了一份很棒的生日禮物。我有一輛車(chē)。

But what's interesting is you can get it for someone or you can get it from someone, so it's very useful this verb "get". 

但是有趣的是，get既可以表示你可以給某人，又可以表示你可以從某人那里得到它（被給），所以這個(gè)動(dòng)詞get非常有用。

But, this is not my top tip for you today. My students will often say to me this mistake.

但是，接下來(lái)并不是我要講給你們的建議，而是我的學(xué)生經(jīng)常跟我說(shuō)過(guò)的一個(gè)錯(cuò)誤。

"Sorry I'm late. I lost myself."

How can you lose yourself? 

你怎么能自己丟了自己呢？

No, you didn't lose yourself. I think what you wanted to say was "Sorry I'm late. I got lost." 

不，你并沒(méi)有丟你自己。我覺(jué)得你想說(shuō)的是“對(duì)不起我遲到了，我迷路了。”

Or, my students come and they say "Ah! You cut your hair." I cut my hair? No, I didn't cut my hair. Oh! I got my hair cut.

或者，我的學(xué)生會(huì)過(guò)來(lái)跟我說(shuō)“啊！你剪了你的頭發(fā)。”我剪了我的頭發(fā)？不，我可沒(méi)剪我的頭發(fā)。哦，我去理發(fā)了。

Top tip number one with "get",

要非常注意get的這些用法提示

Okay, first thing you do in the morning? 

你早上起來(lái)最先干的事兒？

In English? Get up.

英語(yǔ)說(shuō)？起床。

What do you do after that?

之后你干什么呢？

You get dressed.

你梳洗打扮。

I get up. I get dressed. I get ready.

我起床，我梳洗打扮，我準(zhǔn)備好。

This is perfect we're using "get" a lot now. You need to be using the word "get". It's really important, it's really common. We use it all the time, very often for to go, to arrive, very often for to obtain, 

我們使用“get”用得很多很多。你需要會(huì)使用get這個(gè)詞。這很重要，也很常見(jiàn)。我們一直在用它，很多時(shí)候當(dāng)去某地，到達(dá)某地的意思，很多時(shí)候是得到的意思，

but also, interesting very often for a reflexive to to become. 

也有反過(guò)來(lái)，去被成為。

To get married, to become married, to get dressed, to become dressed.

去結(jié)婚，去成為已婚的，去穿衣，去被穿好衣的。

I'd like to leave you with one final example of the word "get". 

我想給你們最后一個(gè)關(guān)于get的例子。

To understand something, like, ah, I don't get it. Do you get it? 

去理解某事，比方說(shuō)，我不理解。你理解嗎？

Get out there, start using the word "get", and stay safe, Bye!

學(xué)完這節(jié)課我們就開(kāi)始使用Get這個(gè)詞吧。祝你平安健康，再見(jiàn)！
