Sorry, I just went shopping to buy something for dinner. I say I went to buy something for dinner, but then I ended up on a side quest and bought a load of records.
显示翻译
抱歉，我刚刚去购物买晚餐的东西。我说我去买晚餐的东西，但后来我意外地开始了另一个任务，买了一大堆唱片。
And got back here late, I see. I would be annoyed but actually that expression 'side quest' would be a good one to learn.
显示翻译
看样子你回来晚了。我本来会生气的，但实际上这个表达‘side quest’是个很好的学习对象。
Ok, yeah good idea. To explain this one, we have to talk about video games. In many games, you have a main quest. That's the main thing that you have to do in the game. A side quest is not the main thing that you have to do. It's something else that you can do, that's often short and fun.

好的，这是个好主意。为了解释这个，我们得谈谈电子游戏。在很多游戏中，你有一个主线任务。那就是你在游戏中必须做的事情。支线任务不是你必须做的事情。它是你可以做的其他事情，通常很短暂且有趣。
Right, that's in a video game, but in your shopping trip today. Your main quest was to buy something for dinner. But then you got distracted by something more fun and went to buy records. That was your side quest.
显示翻译
对，那是在电子游戏中，但今天你的购物之旅中。你的主线任务是买晚餐的东西。但后来你被更有趣的事情分心，去买唱片了。那你的支线任务。
Yes, that's right. We can use 'side quest' to talk about things that you do aren't the most important thing you do. And yes, they're often something that you enjoy doing.
显示翻译
是的，没错。我们可以用‘side quest’来谈论那些你做的事情，不是你最不重要的事情。而且，它们通常是你会喜欢做的事情。
Well, I'm glad you had fun! Let's hear some other people using 'side quest'.
显示翻译
嗯，我很高兴你玩得开心！让我们听听其他人如何使用‘side quest’。
We've always wanted to visit Belfast for the scenery but there were just these beautiful museums that we found on a side quest wandering around the city. I was on my way to a concert and I had loads of free time so I went on a bit of a side quest to a bookshop. I had loads of things to prepare for a presentation at work but then I realised the printers were out of ink so I went on a bit of a side quest to try and get that fixed first.

我们一直想去贝尔法斯特看看风景，但我们在城市里闲逛时发现了一些美丽的博物馆。我本来要去听音乐会，但我有很多空闲时间，所以我去了书店，进行了一次小小的‘side quest’。我有很多事情要为工作上的演示做准备，但后来我发现打印机没墨了，所以我去了打印机店，进行了一次小小的‘side quest’。
We've been learning the expression 'side quest' to describe something you do, that's less important than your main task.
显示翻译
我们一直在学习‘side quest’这个表达，用来描述那些你做的事情，比你的主要任务不那么重要。
Yes, we have quite a few expressions where we use the 'word' side to talk about something less important. A side dish is something that you eat, that goes with the main ingredient. A side hustle is a job that you do, that's not as important as your main job and it might give you a side income.
显示翻译
是的，我们有很多这样的表达，我们用‘side’这个词来谈论不那么重要的事情。配菜是与主要食材一起吃的东西。副业是那些不是你主要工作那么重要的工作，可能会给你带来额外的收入。
OK. That's it for this programme but join us next time to make sure that your English learning is more than just a side quest.
显示翻译
好的。这就是我们今天的节目内容了，但下次请加入我们，确保你的英语学习不仅仅是一个‘side quest’。
See you then!

Bye bye!

再见！
