Day 10 shit和the shit居然有這么大的區別？

D: Hey，bro，did you hear Eminem's last album? It's the shit!

A: Are you serious? I thought it was dope.

D: Ya，it's the shit!

A: What? But shit means it sucks，right?

D: Ya，if it sucks，it's shit，but if it's awesome，we can say it's the shit.

A: Oh，so we are the shit!

All right，聽完今天的對話之后，我們要來學習“shit”和“the shit”的區別。So，大白，what's the difference?

OK. This is maybe really weird. If you say something “it's shit”，it means it's bad；it's awful. But if you say something “it's the shit”，it means it's great；it means it's amazing.

Why we say this? I honestly don't know，but you need to remember the“the”. If something is“shit”，it's bad；if something is“the shit”，it's good.

OK，“It's the shit.”是當下年輕人非常喜歡的一個表達，我估計也是來自于說唱文化，some hip-hop stuff。(Darby: Ya, it comes from hip-hop.) Ya, right. 所以當你覺得某物特別棒的時候，你就可以說：“It's the shit.”

OK，so it's time for today's bonus. You heard Alex say that he thought that the album was “dope”. OK，this is another word that means “awesome”. You can say，“That party was dope.” “The song is dope.”

“Dope” used to mean drugs，but nowadays young people really like to say，if something is cool，it's “dope”.

如果大家看一些有關說唱的電影，就是美國的一些hip-hop的電影，你會發現，“dope”最開始指的是“大麻”（一種毒品），現在很多年輕人把它當成一個形容詞：“The party was dope.”這個派對太炸了。

OK，guys，that's it for today's course. Thank you so much for listening.
