Hi, I'm Vanessa from SpeakEnglishWithVanessa.com.

大家好，欢迎来到我的频道。

Let's talk about it.

我们来聊聊这个话题。

Today I want to teach you how to use the word "play" in an advanced way.

今天我想教你如何以更高级的方式使用 "play" 这个词。

You probably already know how to say, I play soccer, I play games.

你可能已经知道如何说 "I play soccer"（我踢足球），"I play games"（我玩游戏）。

But this is going to help you use this word in another way.

但今天的内容会帮助你以另一种方式使用这个词。

And how I'm going to do this is I want to teach you with two clips from real life.

我的方法是通过两个真实生活中的片段来教你。

I filmed a pool game with my husband and I filmed a ping pong game that he was playing so you can see him naturally use this just spontaneously.

我拍摄了我和丈夫的一场台球比赛，还拍摄了他正在打的一场乒乓球比赛，所以你可以看到他自然而然地使用这个表达。

So how can you use this expression "play" in an advanced way?

When you're talking about the other person who you're going to play with or play against, you might say, "I'm going to play him".

当你谈论你要和谁比赛或对抗时，你可以说："I'm going to play him."

Now this means you're going to play against him.

这意味着你要和他对抗比赛。

He's going to be your opponent, your temporary enemy.

I'm going to play him.

我要和他比赛

This is a way to just simply say, I'm going to play the game with him.

这是一种简单表达 "我要和他比赛" 的方式。

He's going to be my opponent.
