笨小孩口语广播【41】看这个倒霉蛋

【精彩全文】：

Nowadays, we have a new kind of booming industry. Here we call it as "lottery industry". That is true. 我相信很多人都买过彩票，可是不知道中奖的到底有多少，反正Andy老师还没有中过！那么对于这样的大批人，他们可以算是倒霉蛋了，Once I had a friend who was dreaming to win the 5 million RMB Prize, but how's the result? Later we'll talk about it in detail.

1) He is a poor fish. 他是个倒霉蛋！

Here this sentence is trying to say that he is really so unlucky. And in this sentence you can see a word "poor", it does not mean that he has no money at all. 在这个句子里面你可以看到poor这个词，它的意思不是“贫穷”，而是说他真的可怜之极！For example, my friend Tom has been buying lottery since last year, but he has never won any prizes! Even worse, his girlfriend broke up with him just because of this! What a poor fish! 我的这个朋友到最后没了金钱，也丢了老婆，多么可怜的家伙！不过我们这里暂且不管他，先记住这个句子：He is a poor fish. 他是个倒霉蛋！
In fact, we can also say "He is a poor fellow". It has the same meaning as "He is a poor fish."这两个句子的意思是一样的！好下面我给出大家一些场景，然后你用上这个句型来表达他是不是个倒霉蛋：
NO.1 Jim failed in the final examination. Even worse, he failed again in the make-up exam. Is he a poor fish?
NO.2 Charlie's girlfriend had been on good terms with him, but finally she found another guy and left him. Is Charlie a poor fish?
NO.3 Andy's wallet was stolen on the bus. Is Andy a poor fish?

2) I am all at sea. 我不知所措！

Just now I have said that Andy's wallet was stolen on the bus. What a poor fish! 当然了，这些都是虚拟的场景，Andy可不想诅咒自己丢钱包，所以我们这里假设丢钱包的是Lewis, 而且我们再想象Lewis正准备去买一束玫瑰话，可是钱包丢了，没有买成，Then when he noticed that his girl was so disappointed at this, he would be quite awkward and would be all at sea. 如果本来说定了，要带着玫瑰来见她，那么Lewis肯定会非常的尴尬和不知所措，这个时候我们就可以说he is all at sea.
Here for this phrase, you can imagine that when you are at sea and cannot make sure which way to go, you may probably get lost.如果真的在大海上迷失了方向，你会很迷茫，所以be all at sea表示“不知所措”就由此而来。

Up to now, if you are still all at sea, please listen to this program again and again, I am sure you will be clear about the two sentences. 好，如果我讲了很多让你很迷茫的话，那么Andy可以告诉你今天简单的任务就是记住这两个句子：He is a poor fish. 他是个倒霉蛋！还有， I am all at sea. 我不知所措！
