Welcome to English in a Minute!

歡迎來到《一分鐘英語》欄目！

If you have heard American English, maybe you heard this phrase: burned out.

如果你聽過美語，那麼你可能知道這個短語：精疲力竭。

Does this mean something was on fire, and now is out?

它的意思是某東西着火，然後燒光了嗎？

Or maybe it means totally tired? See if you can tell. Listen:

還是說表示很累？看看你能否分辨出來。讓我們聽一下:

Sara got burned out spending so much time volunteering at the hospital.

莎拉累壞了，她在醫院做義工上花了非常多的時間。

She is really going to need a vacation. Totally.

她非常需要假期。確實。

"Burned out" means you are very tired. It means you have lost interest in something.

Burned out的意思是你非常疲憊。它表示你已經對某事失去了興趣

That is because you have done too much of the same thing.

這是因爲你爲同一件事做得太多了，

It is like a light bulb that has stopped shining, because all its energy is used up inside.

就像燈泡不再亮了，因爲裏面的能源用光了

Now, it's your turn to think of ways to use "burned out".

現在，輪到你來思考一下burned out的用法了。
