People all around the world eat eggs.

鸡蛋。世界各地的人都吃鸡蛋。

You can cook them in many different ways!

My favorite way to eat eggs is sunny side up.

你可以用很多不同的方法来烹饪它们！

我最喜欢吃单面煎的鸡蛋。

You heat up a pan, add some oil or butter and crack an egg into it.

One side of the egg cooks until the white part becomes solid.

你加热平底锅，倒入一些油或黄油，然后打一个鸡蛋进去。

鸡蛋的一面煎至白色部分凝固。

The yellow part of the egg -- the yolk -- stays yellow.

It looks like a happy sun on a plate.

鸡蛋的黄色部分——蛋黄——保持黄色。

它看起来就像盘中一个快乐的小太阳。

That is why we call it "sunny side up".

The adjective "sunny" is also used to describe people.

这就是为什么我们称它为"单面煎"。

形容词"sunny"也用来形容人。

A very happy person can be described as sunny.

We often pair "sunny" with two other words: disposition and personality.

一个非常快乐的人可以用"sunny"来形容。

我们经常把"sunny"和另外两个词搭配在一起：性格和个性。

Generally speaking, these are the ways that people behave.

Let's listen to some examples using these common word pairs.

一般来说，这些是人们的行为方式。

让我们来听一些使用了这些常见词汇的例子。

My co-worker Pete is known for his sunny personality.

Anyone who meets him likes him.

我的同事皮特是出了名的性格开朗。

任何见到他的人都喜欢他。

He has a really sunny disposition and is always smiling.

Pete always seems in a good mood.

他性格开朗，总是面带微笑。

皮特似乎总是心情很好。

Hi, Anna! Isn't it a beautiful day?

Sure is, Pete!

嗨，安娜！今天是美好的一天，不是吗？

当然是，皮特！

You have a great afternoon! See you later! !

See you, Pete. What a happy guy.

祝你有一个愉快的下午！回头见！！

回见，皮特。真是个快乐的家伙。

We can also call a very happy person a "ray of sunshine".

In nature, a ray of sunshine is the light from the sun.

我们也可以称一个非常快乐的人为"一缕阳光"。

在自然界中，一缕阳光是来自太阳的光。

It cuts through clouds and darkness to brighten the day.

People who are rays of sunshine do the same.

它穿透乌云和黑暗，照亮白昼。

像一缕阳光一样的人也会做同样的事情。

They lift your spirits, or make you feel happy.

They bring joy into the lives of others.

他们使你精神振奋，或者让你感到快乐。

他们将欢乐带到了别人的生活中。

But sometimes we use this expression in a sarcastic way.

In other words, I might call someone "a ray of sunshine" if they are acting unhappy or even angry.

但有时我们以一种讽刺的方式使用这个表达。

换句话说，如果某人表现得不高兴甚至生气，我可能会称他为"一缕阳光"。

Let's say my friend is in a bad mood. There is nothing especially wrong, but nothing seems to make her happy.

假设我的朋友心情不好。没有什么特别的问题，但似乎没有什么能使她高兴。

I could say to her: "Well, aren't you a ray of sunshine today".

Now, just so you know … this comment probably would make her even LESS happy!

我会对她说："你今天就像一缕阳光一般。"

现在，你就知道了，这个评价可能会让她更不高兴！

Sarcasm can easily make people angry.

So, if people are mad or sad for a good reason,

讽刺很容易使人生气。

所以，如果人们有理由地生气或悲伤，

it may not a good idea to say something sarcastic like this.

Of course, no one is happy all the time.

那么说一些像这样的讽刺话语可能就不太好了。

当然，没有人总是快乐的。

But some people are able to think about the good things in life more than the bad. In other words, they choose to look on the sunny side of life.

但是有些人能更多想到生活中的好事，而不是坏事。换句话说，他们选择看到生活积极的一面。

Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side Keep on the sunny side of life

保持阳光的一面，永远保持阳光的一面， 保持生活中阳光的一面，

It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way if we'll keep on the sunny side of life On other programs, we have talked about this kind of person.

如果我们保持生活中阳光的一面，它将每天帮助我们，它将照亮所有的路 在其它节目中，我们也谈到过这种人。

People who see the good in nearly every situation are optimistic. They are hopeful.

在几乎任何情况下都能看到好的一面的人都是乐观的。他们满怀希望。

They see the glass as half full, not half empty.

The next time you run into a bump in the road -- which is another way to say a little problem

他们看到玻璃杯子里有半杯水，而不是里面没了半杯水。

下次当你遇到磕磕绊绊时——小麻烦的另一种说法，

-- try your best to see the sunny side. Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side

尽你所能去看到事物积极的一面。保持阳光的一面，永远保持阳光的一面
