Day 4 成年人一起玩，千萬不能用play with. . .

A: Hey，dude，tonight I'm gonna play with my friends.

D: Oh，how old are they?

A: Same as me. We used to be classmates.

D: Oh，you mean you're gonna hang out with your friends.

A: Why can't I say play?

D: In English，usually kids and animals play. Adults hang out.

A: Oh，learn something new every day！

OK，聽完今天的對話之后，我們一起來看一下。在我跟大白講我要跟我的朋友一起玩的時候，我說I'm gonna play with my friends，但是大白卻好奇我朋友的年齡。他要給大家來解釋一下什么時候可以用“play with”，什么時候不可以。

Thank you，Alex. In English if you say“I'm gonna play with you”，and you're both adults，we think it sounds really strange.

“Play” is a very childish word. Kids play with each other. Animals，for example，two cats，two dogs，can play with each other.

You can also say，“Let's go play football.” “Let's go play video games.” But you can not say，“Let's play together.” We think it sounds very strange.

我聽到很多中國學生把“我想跟你玩”翻譯成：“I want to play with you.”大白在抖音上也經常收到粉絲留言說：“I want to play with you.”但是成年人之間一定不能說：I want to play with you，只能說：I want to hang out with you.“一起玩”的英文表達是hang out。

All right，it's time for our bonus. Now you heard Alex at the end of our conversation say，“Oh，learn something new every day.” This is a fixed expression.

If you learn some new knowledge that you didn't know before，you can say，“Emm，learn something new every day!”

You know how we say this in Chinese，Darby? How?漲知識！

Wow! Learn something new every day! Yeah!

OK. So I hope you learn something valuable today!
