【适用场合】
今天这期节目中我们讲两个表达，第一个是
rough and tumble
这个表达的话，如果没有连字符，很经常当做表语使用，像一个形容词的作用；
我们先来看看这个短语的意思：
You use rough and tumble to mean a situation in which there is a lot of arguing or competition and people do not worry about upsetting or harming others.
一般我们可以使用rough and tumble来描述一种场景：有很多争吵、打斗、人们也不担心有人会受伤或者有人不开心。总而言之是一种暴力、混乱、喧嚣、打闹的场景。

也可以用来描述人：可以理解成disorderly and aggressive
目无法纪的、任性的、充满攻击性的；

提示大家，如果希望用这个短语来修饰名词，通常我们会在这三个词当中加两个连字符。

eg: George is too rough and tumble for me. He doesn’t know how to act around civilized people.
我觉得，George有点太没规矩了，他不知道在有教养的人的圈子里该如何行事。

eg: The kids started getting a bit too rough and tumble when their cousin Jake came over.
当孩子们的表哥Jake来了以后，孩子们有点玩疯了。

eg: That was a rough-and-tumble football game.
那是一场混乱不堪的足球赛。

下面我们再来讲一下之前节目中学过的一个表达，叫做relate to sb./sth.
指的意思是：和某个人/某个事物有联系；和某个人/某个事物感觉亲密、有相似之处；能理解、接受某个人/某个事物；
to associate oneself with someone or something; to feel a sense of kinship with or similarity to someone or something.
或者
to understand, accept, or feel kinship with someone or something



eg: He relates to people well.
他很擅长人际交往。

eg: Your child seems to relate well to her peers.
你的孩子好像很擅长结交同伴。

eg: I'm worried that my son doesn't seem to relate to any of the kids in his class.
我很担心我的儿子好像和他班里其他孩子都玩不到一起去。

eg: Having grown up in quite a poor household, I could really relate to the character's struggle to find financial success.
由于我从小在一个挺贫困的家**大，看到这个角色很希望能够在经济上获得成功，我真的很能够理解。
