M: Hello and welcome back to MJ English.
M：哈囉，歡迎回到 MJ English。

J：沒錯，就是去髮廊。
M: And trying to explain exactly what you want, especially for a big event, without it, you know, going wrong.

M: Okay, that was super smooth. Let’s rewind and break that down.
M：好，整段非常順，那我們倒回來一段一段解析。
J: The very first thing she says is she wants a “sophisticated hairstyle.”
J：她第一句說的是，她想要一個「sophisticated hairstyle」。
M: Right. And that word, “sophisticated,” is doing so much heavy lifting. It’s not just “pretty” or “nice.”
M：沒錯，而「sophisticated」這個字其實涵義很豐富，不只是「漂亮」或「好看」而已。
J: What does it signal to the stylist?
J：那它對設計師傳達了什麼？
M: It signals polish, structure, something very put-together.
M：它代表「精緻、有線條、整理得很到位」的那種感覺。
J: Then she immediately follows up with specifics: a “deep side part” and a “low, sleek bun.”
J：接著，她馬上補充具體的需求：「深側分」以及「低、俐落的丸子頭」。
M: And the word “sleek” there is key, isn’t it?
M：「sleek」這個字非常關鍵，對吧？
J: It’s so important. “Sleek” means smooth, flat, no frizz, no flyaways. It completely removes any chance of getting a messy, tousled look. It’s a very strategic word.
J：真的超重要。「Sleek」代表光滑、服貼、沒有毛躁、沒有亂翹，完全杜絕做成亂糟糟蓬鬆髮的可能，是非常策略性的用字。
M: And what about her bangs and the highlights?
M：那她的瀏海和挑染呢？
J: Well, with the bangs, she asks to “keep the shape natural,” so no drastic changes. And the highlights, well that’s a fun little detail, “pastel pink.” It shows she has a clear vision. Let’s talk about the verbs she uses for the actions.
J：瀏海的部分，她要求「保持自然形狀」，也就是不要做大幅度改動。而挑染則是「粉彩粉紅」，這是很可愛的細節，代表她心裡有明確想法。接著我們來看她用的動作動詞。
M: She says “trim her bangs.”
M：她說「trim her bangs」。
J: Yes, “trim,” not “cut.” That’s a huge distinction.
J：沒錯，是「修剪」不是「剪掉」，這差很多。
M: Right.
M：對。
J: Trimming is just for the ends. You’re just cleaning it up, not changing the whole style. And then she makes, I think, the most important request…
J：「Trim」就是修一下尾端、稍微整理，不是在改造整個造型。接著她提出我覺得最重要的需求——
M: Which is?
M：是什麼呢？
J: To “thin out the volume.”
J：就是「打薄」。
M: Ah, yes. This is such a useful phrase.
M：啊對，這句真的超實用。
J: It is, because it’s about the amount of hair, the density, not the length. So if you feel your hair is just too heavy or poofy, but you love the length, this is exactly what you ask for.
J：沒錯，這跟長度無關，是在調整髮量和厚度。如果你覺得頭髮太厚、太蓬，但又不想變短，這句就是救星。
M: And it all ties back to the sentence patterns she’s using to ask for these things.
M：而這些需求，都跟她使用的句型很有關係。
J: She starts with, “I’d like to,” which is, you know, polite but also very firm. It states her preference clearly.
J：她從「I’d like to」開始，既禮貌又堅定，清楚表達自己的需求。
M: And then for the action, she switches to “could you,” like, “Could you also thin out the volume?”
M：然後在要求動作時，她改用「Could you」，像「Could you also thin out the volume?」
J: Yeah, which is a direct, but still very courteous request. And you can see how the stylist responds with questions like, “How would you like…?”
J：對，既直接又禮貌。設計師回應時也會用像「How would you like…?」這種開放式問句。
M: Which opens the door for Emma to give all those great details.
M：這讓 Emma 能提供所有那些很棒的細節資訊。
J: It’s a real consultation, a collaboration.
J：這就是完整的諮詢，是雙向合作。
M: So, really, it comes down to having these very specific words: “sleek,” “trim,” “thin out volume,” and using those clear sentence patterns.
M：所以其實重點就是：具體的單字（sleek、trim、thin out volume）加上清楚的句型。
J: Exactly. That’s how you make sure you walk out with the style you actually wanted. It’s all about communicating with precision.
J：沒錯，這樣才能確保你走出去的髮型就是你想要的。全靠精準溝通。

J: We hope this helps you feel way more confident for your next salon visit.
J：希望這集能讓你下次去髮廊更有自信。
M: Thanks for listening.

J: See you next time.
J：下次見囉。
