Hey guys. I'm Alex. Thanks for clicking, and welcome to this lesson on: "Dress up" or: "Get dressed".
大家好，我是Alex。感谢点击收看这次的词汇课，今天讲的是'Dress up'和'Get Dressed'之间的区别。
So these are two very common expressions that we use regularly in English to talk about putting on clothes.
在英语中我们常用这两个短语表达穿衣服。
However, there is a slight difference in the usage, and we're going to look at that today.
然而，在使用上还是有一切区别的，我们今天就来看一下。
So let's look at the top three sentences on the board, and see if you can tell me which expression I should use to complete them.
我们先来看黑板上面的三个句子，看看你们能不能告诉我应该用哪个短语完成填空。
So the first one says: "It's your mom's 50th birthday! You should '''_."The second one says: "The bus leaves in 5 minutes! '''_!""Do you '''_ for Halloween?"
第一个："It's your mom's 50th birthday! You should '''_."第二个： "The bus leaves in 5 minutes! '''_!""Do you '''_ for Halloween?"
Okay, if you're screaming and saying: "Wait, this one should be: 'get dressed' and this one should be: 'dress up'", ask yourself: why are you saying that?
好了，如果你立刻喊着说：“这个应该用'get dressed'，那个应该用'dress up'，”先问问你自己为什么这么说。
So first, before we actually do the answers, let's do the definitions.
首先，揭晓答案之前，我们先来看看定义。

So when you "dress up" for something - over here, we'll put it in the middle -, you basically dress formally.
当你为某事'dress up'的时候——我们写在中间——你基本上穿的会比较正式。
So if you're going to a wedding you have to dress up, if you go to a nice restaurant you have to dress up or you can put on a costume of some kind.
如果你去参加婚礼，你得dress up，如果你去一家很好的餐厅，你得dress up，或者说你穿上了戏服一类的。
So those of you who maybe are comic book readers and if you have been to a comic book convention, people dress up at comic book conventions.
可能你们中有漫画迷，如果你去过漫展的话，你就会知道漫展上人们都装扮上了。
Now, the other one: "get dressed" is much more general.It just means to put on clothes in a general way.
另外一个，'get dressed'就比较普通了。它就是说穿上平常的衣服。
So every morning, you know, you get dressed.If you're going out somewhere, you have to get dressed; just put on clothes. Okay?
每天早上，你都会get dressed。如果你要出门，你就得get dressed，就是穿上衣服，明白吗？
So now that we know this, let's look at the top three sentences and do them one more time.
了解过这个之后，我们再来看看这三个句子。
So: "It's your mom's 50th birthday! You should get dressed" or: "dress up", what do you think?
"It's your mom's 50th birthday! You should get dressed" or: "dress up"，你觉得应该是哪个？
Well, your mom's 50th birthday is a special occasion, so I'm giving you the advice that you should probably dress up.
你妈妈的50岁生日是一个特殊场合，我建议你穿的正式一点。
Okay? Wear nicer clothes.It's her 50th, you're going to a nice restaurant. Okay?The second one: "The bus leaves in 5 minutes!"
明白吗，穿好看的衣服。是她的50岁生日，要去一家很不错的餐厅。第二个，“公交车还有五分钟就要走了！”
So you're going to school or you're going to work and you just woke up, and you're still not ready; you're in your pajamas so you have to get dressed.
你准备去学校，或者要去上班，你才刚起，还没做好准备；还穿着睡衣，所以你要穿好衣服。
So this could be a mom yelling at her son or daughter, or a dad I suppose as well.
这句话可能是妈妈对孩子喊的，当然爸爸也有可能。
And finally: "Do you '''_ for Halloween?"Again, Halloween is a holiday where you...Well, not really a holiday; people have to work.
最后一个："Do you '''_ for Halloween?"万圣节是一个假期，你可以……好吧，也不算是假期，大家还得上班。
But it's a fun day in October where people wear costumes.
但是它是10月很有意思的一天，大家都穿上各种戏服。
So: "Do you dress up for Halloween?" Okay?Now, again, we wouldn't say: "Do you get dressed for Halloween?"
所以就是： "Do you dress up for Halloween?"我们不会说："Do you get dressed for Halloween?"
That just means like: do you wear clothes at all or do you go naked for Halloween?So two very different meanings. Right?
因为这样的意思就是说，你会穿着衣服去过万圣节还是准备光着身子去过万圣节？这是两个完全不同的意思，明白吗？
Okay, so now that we...I think we have the basic meaning of these two expressions, let's look at three more to perfect it.
现在既然我们……我觉得我们已经了解了这两个短语的基本含义，我们来看看另外三个句子，好更完美的理解这三个句子。
First: "There's a dress code."So imagine, you're going to a restaurant and some restaurants have dress codes; you're not allowed to just go in jeans and a t-shirt.
第一个："There's a dress code."想象一下，你要去的餐厅会有一些穿戴要求，不允许穿着牛仔裤、T恤衫进去吃饭。
You have to either wear a suit or nice pants or a belt.So: "There's a dress code. You have to dress up." Okay.
你需要穿西装，或者穿西裤带腰带。所以这句话："There's a dress code. You have to dress up."
Today zombies are very popular, at least at the time of this video.
现在僵尸非常流行，至少是拍这个视频的时候。
Maybe 10 years from now when you're looking at this maybe - I don't know, what could be popular? - police officers?I have no idea.
可能10年后再看——我不知道，什么会流行？——警察？我也不知道。
So imagine there is a costume party and it's a zombie-themed party; the theme is zombies.
想象一下，有一个化妆派对，主题是僵尸。
So: "Everyone is", everyone is doing what? "Everyone is dressing up."Everyone is going to dress up.
“Everyone is”——所有人都干嘛呢？——"Everyone is dressing up."大家都会装扮上。
So you can say: "Everyone is going to dress up." Or: "Everyone is dressing up for the party."
你可以说："Everyone is going to dress up."或者"Everyone is dressing up for the party."
They're putting on zombie costumes, zombie makeup.Finally: "In the morning, I '''_ after I brush my teeth."
他们都穿着僵尸服，化妆成僵尸。最后一个，"In the morning, I '''_ after I brush my teeth."
So after you brush your teeth, generally you put on clothes in the morning. Right?So you get dressed.That's it.
早上你刷完牙之后，就要穿上衣服了。穿戴整齐。就是这样了。
So I hope I have cleared up this...These two very common expressions for you guys.
我希望我把这两个常用的短语讲清楚了。
So one more time: "get dressed", very general, put on your clothes.
再来一遍，'get dressed'，很常见，穿上衣服。
Usually we're talking about when you get up in the morning or before you leave the house, you have to get dressed.
我们常说的是早上或者离开家的时候穿戴整齐。
"Dress up", if it's a formal occasion, if you're putting on a costume of some kind for a party or a special occasion.
'Dress up'，正式场合，或者你要为派对或特殊场合装扮。
