【适用场合】
首先，Mike说的Everything ok?
其实是口语当中才会说的随意一些的说法，如果大家造句子，要把前面的is补上。
Is everything ok?
一切都还好吗？

之后Susan说：
This dress is just riding up as it is.
什么叫ride up?
ride 本身有骑马的意思，有关ride up 今天讲两层意思：
1. 骑着马接近某物/某人
to approach sb. or sth. on horseback
eg: The sheriff rode up to see what the two suspicious characters were up to.
警长骑着马，想看看那两个可疑人物到底要做什么。

2. 就是今天视频中的用法，指衣物一直往上跑，往上缩
to gradually move or slide upward on one's body
eg: My underwear keeps riding up!
我的小裤裤一直往上跑！

eg: I really love this dress, but it keeps riding up on me whenever I stand up.
我真挺喜欢这连衣裙的，但是每次我起身，这裙子都一直往上缩。

然后呢Susan这句话末尾还有一个as it is
这个短语我们之前节目当中有提到过，这里稍微复习一下。
1. at this point in time; already
已经
eg: I don't need to be getting sick now. I have enough things to worry about as it is.
我现在可不能生病，我已经有够多事情需要烦心的了。

2. as the situation is at the moment
事实情况是（语气中带有点失望）
Mary: Can we afford a new refrigerator?
Fred: As it is, it would have to be a very small one.

Mary: 咱还能买得起一个新冰箱吗？
Fred: 额……这个，估计只能买个很小的了。
