Hello everyone, my name is Justin and
welcome back to another Bizmates for
0:00:05.430,0:00:09.990
Beginners video lesson, where every week, we introduce a new idiom, phrase or
0:00:09.990,0:00:15.210
expression that, yes, you can use in your
daily business conversation. This week,
0:00:15.210,0:00:22.050
everyone, we are going to learn to" roll
up my sleeves."To roll up my sleeves, just
0:00:22.050,0:00:26.580
like this. All right. What does it mean?
Well, let's find out, but first, as always,
0:00:26.580,0:00:32.610
let's begin with a quick review of last
week's class. All right everyone, so imagine
0:00:32.610,0:00:39.719
I ask you "Hey is everything okay in your
team?" But unfortunately, things aren't
0:00:39.719,0:00:44.340
going that smoothly. So how do you say
that using the expression from last week?
0:00:44.340,0:00:50.840
I'll give you five seconds to think
about it. Are you ready? All right, and go.
0:00:53.809,0:01:01.170
Okay and time is up. If you said
"Unfortunately, things are rocky," then
0:01:01.170,0:01:06.450
that's exactly right. Well done. Thank you
for remembering last week's class. Okay
0:01:06.450,0:01:12.770
let's move on to "to roll up my sleeves."
Now this is what I sometimes hear.
0:01:12.770,0:01:20.549
All right, so I am at the office. It's late.
Maybe 9:30, 10 o'clock p.m. I'm going
0:01:20.549,0:01:27.630
home after some overtime, but I see my
good friend and colleague Taro. He is
0:01:27.630,0:01:32.670
still working at the office
even though it is so late. So I say "Taro,
0:01:32.670,0:01:41.100
Wow you're here so late. Why? What's
happening? Taro says "Well the deadline is
0:01:41.100,0:01:46.369
tomorrow. Time to work hard." Okay, yes, you are a very
0:01:46.369,0:01:52.380
hard worker, Taro. I see that. So yes, maybe there's a tight deadline so he has to
0:01:52.380,0:01:58.110
work some overtime. He has to put in some hard work so he's got to stay here until
0:01:58.110,0:02:04.560
10:00 or 11:00. Okay, that's fine. Time to
work hard. Easy to understand. But you
0:02:04.560,0:02:10.170
might hear a native english-speakers say
"Well the deadline is tomorrow, so time to
0:02:10.170,0:02:16.890
roll up my sleeves." All right, so I'm sure
some of you have done this before. Maybe
0:02:16.890,0:02:21.450
before you wash the dishes, for example.
It's not very fun work. It's not easy
0:02:21.450,0:02:25.019
work but you don't want to get your
sleeves wet so you... you roll up your
0:02:25.019,0:02:32.250
sleeves like this, to prepare you for
some tough or challenging work ahead. All
0:02:32.250,0:02:37.260
right, so it's time to work hard. It's
time to roll up your sleeves and get
0:02:37.260,0:02:45.959
serious. Okay, all right. So for example my
presentation is next week so it's time
0:02:45.959,0:02:51.420
to... you know, roll up my sleeves and start preparing. All right? Or I have a really
0:02:51.420,0:02:55.980
important meeting that I need to prepare
for, so it's time to roll up my sleeves.
0:02:55.980,0:02:59.370
Okay all right, so pronunciation. So please
0:02:59.370,0:03:06.209
repeat after me everyone. "Time to roll up
my sleeves." "Roll up my sleeves." Okay, your
0:03:06.209,0:03:13.769
turn. Go ahead. Excellent. Okay now after
my sentence. Here. Wow you're here so late!
0:03:13.769,0:03:21.720
You say "Right. Yeah, and the deadline is
tomorrow so yeah, it's time to work hard.
0:03:21.720,0:03:25.920
Time to roll up my sleeves." Okay? All
right, so please remember this for next
0:03:25.920,0:03:28.560
time.
Okay our bonus question this week,
0:03:28.560,0:03:34.799
everyone, is another way to say "We must
learn to be flexible to adapt to things."
0:03:34.799,0:03:39.780
To adapt to a sudden change. ¥If you know a better way of saying this you can feel
0:03:39.780,0:03:43.889

0:03:43.889,0:03:48.959
