Hello everyone and welcome to another
Bizmates for Beginners video lesson
0:00:05.520,0:00:11.070
where every week we introduce a new
idiom, phrase or expression that you can
0:00:11.070,0:00:16.320
use in your daily business conversation.
And this week everyone we are going to
0:00:16.320,0:00:22.680
learn the expression: "seeing red." So if
you want to know what this means and how
0:00:22.680,0:00:28.199
to use it, please stay tuned But first as
always, do you remember last week's class?
0:00:28.199,0:00:31.470
I hope so because we are going to do a
quick review.
0:00:31.470,0:00:38.579
Alright so imagine I say to you: Hey, I
heard Jimmy's evaluation didn't go well.
0:00:38.579,0:00:43.890
Is he okay?
And of course, Jimmy is not okay. In fact
0:00:43.890,0:00:49.800
he's feeling very sad. So how do you say
that using the expression from last week
0:00:49.800,0:00:55.040
everyone? I'll give you five seconds, okay
you ready? All right think about it. Go!
0:00:58.160,0:01:05.900
Okay and time is up. If you said: "Yeah, I
don't think so. He must be feeling blue"
0:01:05.909,0:01:11.010
then that's exactly right. Well done and
thank you for remembering the expression.
0:01:11.010,0:01:16.409
Alright everyone so let's move on to:
"seeing red." That's right, another
0:01:16.409,0:01:21.440
expression using a color. Alright now
this is what I sometimes hear...
0:01:21.620,0:01:26.520
So I'm in the office, I'm walking by the
meeting room and I hear a lot of noise
0:01:26.520,0:01:31.079
a lot of commotion coming out of the
meeting room. So I turn to Taro, my
0:01:31.079,0:01:36.810
colleague, and I say: Taro, you know, what's
wrong? I hear lots of yelling in the
0:01:36.810,0:01:44.549
meeting room. Taro says: Yeah, so sales
numbers are down and the manager is
0:01:44.549,0:01:50.970
feeling angry. Yes, I can understand.
Sometimes you know, chasing those targets
0:01:50.970,0:01:56.130
and those goals can be very frustrating.
And if you're not meeting targets, that's
0:01:56.130,0:02:02.130
a lot of pressure, so it might be easy to
feel angry. Now although this is simple -
0:02:02.130,0:02:05.880
it's easy to understand,
you might hear a native speaker say
0:02:05.880,0:02:12.239
something like this: sales numbers are
down and the manager is seeing red.
0:02:12.239,0:02:16.560
All right so whenever you are
really, really angry and you can't
0:02:16.560,0:02:23.010
control yourself - the anger just explodes
out of you, you are "seeing red" okay?
0:02:23.010,0:02:28.650
It's an uncontrollable anger, that kind of
comes out of you even though you don't
0:02:28.650,0:02:33.930
want it to, okay? So you're seeing red,
you're really, really angry. Okay, everyone?
0:02:33.930,0:02:40.230
All right now pronunciation, it's as you
see it here: seeing red. But when you say
0:02:40.230,0:02:45.480
it very quickly, these two words get
squished together okay, so it's seeing
0:02:45.480,0:02:50.020
red. Seeing red, okay?
So please repeat after me:
0:02:50.040,0:02:53.140
The manager is seeing red.
Your turn.
0:02:55.380,0:02:59.240
Very good okay now
after my sentence and my question here:
0:02:59.240,0:03:03.000
Hey, what's wrong? I hear lots of yelling
in the meeting room.
0:03:06.780,0:03:08.040
Okay that's right
0:03:08.040,0:03:12.920
the manager is seeing red, all right?
So please try to use this in your daily
0:03:12.930,0:03:18.000
conversation and remember this for next
week's review. Okay our bonus question
0:03:18.000,0:03:23.040
this week everyone is another way to say:
"high touch." If you know what the answer is
0:03:23.040,0:03:26.940
please leave it in the comments below; if
you don't know what the answer is, but
0:03:26.940,0:03:32.250
you are curious, you can find it in one
of our previous Bizmates for Beginners
0:03:32.250,0:03:39.060
