摘要：In this English lesson, I'm going to talk about one verb, the verb to miss, and in particular, how we use this verb to talk about

Hi.

你好。

This English lesson is going to be about the emotion of missing someone or missing something, or even missing an era in your life.

这节英语课将讨论想念某人、想念某事，甚至是想念生命中某个时代的情感。

In this English lesson, I'm going to talk about one verb, the verb to miss, and in particular, how we use this verb to talk about the feeling we have when someone we know lives far away or something we used to own, we no longer own.

在这节英语课中，我将讨论一个动词，即“想念”这个动词，特别是，我们如何使用这个动词来谈论当我们认识的人住在遥远的地方或我们曾经拥有的东西不再拥有时的感受。

And we're kind of sad about those two situations.

我们对这两种情况感到有些难过。

So welcome to this English lesson about the verb to miss.

欢迎来到这节有关动词“miss”的英语课。

So we have a very simple but powerful sentence in English, and it's the sentence I miss you.

所以我们有一句非常简单但很有力量的英语句子，那就是“我想念你”。

If you say I miss you to someone, it means that maybe they live far away, and maybe you're talking to them on the phone and you're letting them know that you really like them and you're sad because they live so far away.

如果您对某人说“我想念你” ，则意味着他们可能住得很远， 也许您正在通过电话与他们交谈，并且想让他们知道您真的很喜欢他们，并且因为他们住得太远而让您感到难过。

If you say I miss you to a son who's at university, or maybe to a parent that lives in a different country than you, you're communicating to them the emotion that you love them and you are sad because you are not in the same place as them.

如果您对正在上大学的儿子说“我想念你”，或者对住在不同国家的父母说“我想念你”，那么您就是在向他们传达一种情感，即您爱他们，并且因为你们不在同一个地方而感到难过。

So I miss you is a very powerful sentence.

所以我想念你是一句很有力量的句子。

You can also use this when you're talking to someone else.

您也可以在与其他人交谈时使用它。

Maybe I would say to someone, oh, I miss my son who's at university, or I miss my mom because she lives in Spain.

也许我会对某人说，哦，我想念我在大学的儿子，或者我想念我的妈妈，因为她住在西班牙。

My mom doesn't live in Spain, by the way.

顺便说一句，我妈妈不住在西班牙。

But those are just example sentences.

但那些只是例句。

So the simplest way to use this verb to express that emotion is to just say, I miss you.

因此，使用这个动词来表达这种情感的最简单方法就是说“我想你”。

You can also use this verb to talk about someone who has passed away, someone who has died.

您还可以使用这个动词来谈论已经去世的人或已经死亡的人。

I could say to someone, oh, I miss my grandfather.

我可以对某人说，哦，我想念我的祖父。

He was such a nice guy.

他真是个好人。

He was such a gentle, honest, awesome man.

他是如此温柔、诚实、令人敬畏的男人。

I miss my grandfather.

我想念我的祖父。

So you don't just need to use this to talk about people who are still alive.

所以你不需要只用这个来谈论仍然活着的人。

You can also use this to talk about relatives or parents or grandparents who have passed away, just to express how sad you are that they're no longer here on this planet with us.

您还可以使用它来谈论已经去世的亲戚、父母或祖父母，只是为了表达您对他们不再与我们一起生活在这个星球上的悲伤。

So for me personally, I miss my father.

所以就我个人而言，我很想念我的父亲。

I miss my grandfather, my grandmother, my other grandfather, and my other grandmother.

我想念我的祖父、祖母、另一位祖父和另一位祖母。

They were all really awesome people, and I miss them.

他们都是非常棒的人，我很想念他们。

So in English, if you say I miss you to someone, it communicates a strong emotion that you are sad that you're not with that person.

所以在英语中， 如果你对某人说“我想念你”， 它传达了一种强烈的情感，即你因为不能和那个人在一起而感到难过。

But maybe you're in a lighter mood and you just want to say that you miss doing things with that person.

但或许你的心情比较轻松，你只是想说你想念与那个人一起做的事情。

Maybe a friend of yours has moved to another country.

也许你的一个朋友已经移居到另一个国家。

You could say to them, oh, I miss going to the climbing gym with you.

你可以对他们说， 哦，我很想和你们一起去攀岩馆。

I miss hanging out with you.

我很想念和你一起出去玩。

I miss watching TV with you.

我想念和你一起看电视。

So instead of telling them that you miss them, maybe you're a little bit shy about communicating that strong emotion.

因此，您可能不愿意告诉他们您想念他们，而是有点羞于表达这种强烈的情感。

You could instead be a little bit lighter.

你反而应该轻松一点。

You could just say that you miss doing things with them.

您只能说您想念和他们一起做事。

So you can miss things as well.

所以你也可能会错过一些事情。

You could say, I missed my old car.

你可能会说，我怀念我的旧车。

Maybe you bought a new car and you have really good memories of your old car.

也许您买了一辆新车，并且对您的旧车有着非常美好的回忆。

You could say, I miss my old car.

你可以说，我怀念我的旧车。

You could say, oh, I miss my old computer.

您可能会说，哦，我怀念我的旧电脑。

It had better features than my new one.

它的功能比我的新产品更好。

That doesn't sound possible, but maybe you miss your old computer.

这听起来不太可能，但是也许你会怀念你的旧电脑。

Maybe you've moved and you miss the town you used to live in.

也许你已经搬家了并且怀念曾经居住过的城镇。

You could say, oh, I really miss the town I used to live in.

This city that I live in now is way too busy.

我现在居住的这个城市太繁忙了。

So when you are missing something, you can also describe it in the same way.

所以当你缺少某些东西的时候，你也可以用同样的方式描述它。

You just say, I miss my old computer.

你就说我怀念我的老电脑吧。

I miss my old car.

And we have a special way of describing the feeling you have when you're far from home and you miss home.
