英語(yǔ)表達(dá) “find your groove” 意為 “找到你的節(jié)奏”。這個(gè)短語(yǔ)來(lái)自于單詞 “groove” 的其中一個(gè)意思 “音樂(lè)的律動(dòng)”。聽(tīng)節(jié)目中主持人 Phil 和菲菲如何用 “find your groove” 來(lái)表達(dá) “找尋人生中最擅長(zhǎng)和享受的事情”。

Feifei?
大家好，歡迎收聽(tīng) BBC 英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的 “地道英語(yǔ)” 節(jié)目。在每期節(jié)目中，我們都會(huì)介紹一個(gè)英語(yǔ)母語(yǔ)人士或講英語(yǔ)流利的人會(huì)用到的表達(dá)。Welcome! This is Feifei, and I'm here with Phil.
Phil
Hello, everyone!?
Feifei
在這期節(jié)目中，我們要介紹的表達(dá)是 “find your groove”。我和 Phil 將先用英語(yǔ)為大家講解這個(gè)表達(dá)的用法，最后再由我用漢語(yǔ)進(jìn)行歸納總結(jié)。?
Phil
So, how are you, Feifei??I keep hearing you humming tunes around the office – are you happy about something?
Feifei
I am! I'm really getting into music. I've started playing the piano – it was difficult at first, but now I'm really finding my groove.?
Phil
That's good to hear, and 'find your groove' is the expression that we're learning in this programme. What does it mean???
Feifei
Let's start with 'groove'. We can use it to talk about a rhythm or a piece of music that's easy to dance to. When you find your groove, it means you find you can do something easily, and that you really start to enjoy it. Whether that's playing music or something else.?
Phil
I'm glad you've found your groove with the piano, but as you said, it's not just music. So, at work recently, I've started editing a lot of videos. It was difficult at first, but I've really found my groove with it. It's becoming a lot easier.?
Feifei
Oh that's good! Now let's listen to some people using the expression 'find your groove'.
Examples
So, I moved house a few weeks ago, and my commute to work changed. I now have to get two trains to work, and I kept getting lost. But recently, I found my groove. It's much easier now.
I've got a new job. I have to present to clients on a daily basis. I found it difficult at first, but I'm finally starting to find my groove.
I've joined a new football team. We didn't really know each other well, but now we do, and we play really well. We finally found our groove and won some games.
Feifei
So, we've said finding your groove is about getting good at something and starting to really enjoy it. Are there any other ways to use it?
Phil
Well, a similar way that we use it is to talk about finding an activity that you enjoy.
Feifei
So, you could say: 'You should try something creative, music, painting, dancing – you've just got to find your groove'.
Phil
I'm glad you found your groove with the piano. Now I think I need to find my groove. Maybe I should try dancing.
Feifei
Hmm, I'm not sure you're ready for that – but give it a try, maybe you'll find your groove!
英語(yǔ)表達(dá) “find your groove” 的字面意思是 “找到你的節(jié)奏”。比如，當(dāng)我們聽(tīng)到一段喜歡的音樂(lè)時(shí)，可能會(huì)隨著節(jié)奏哼唱起來(lái)。而這個(gè)短語(yǔ)的引申義就是 “找到一件對(duì)自己來(lái)說(shuō)擅長(zhǎng)且熱愛(ài)的事情”。特別是我們可以用 “find your groove” 來(lái)鼓勵(lì)身邊的人多多嘗試擔(dān)心對(duì)自己有些難度的愛(ài)好，從而找到既喜歡又擅長(zhǎng)的事。比如，你的朋友對(duì)蛋糕制作很感興趣，但十分擔(dān)心自己做的蛋糕不好吃，你就可以鼓勵(lì)他說(shuō) “Give it a try, maybe you will find your groove baking delicious cakes!（嘗試一下，也許你就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)你能自然而然地照自己的節(jié)奏烤出美味的蛋糕！）” Well, I hope you can all find your groove.?
Phil
OK, that's all from us. We'll be back next time with another useful English phrase.
Feifei
See you then.?
Phil
Bye!
