摘要：Well, Summer is starting to draw to a close, summer is starting to come to a close.

Well, Summer is starting to draw to a close, summer is starting to come to a close.

好吧，夏天即将结束，夏天即将结束。

Those are two phrases we use to talk about something that is ending.

这是我们用来谈论某件事即将结束的两个短语。

I need to go back to work tomorrow.

我明天需要回去上班。

In fact, this is the outfit I will be wearing.

事实上，这就是我要穿的衣服。

I thought I would put it on for this video.

我想把它放在这个视频里。

I'm wearing my teaching shoes.

我穿着我的教学鞋。

I'm wearing a shirt with a collar and the pants that I normally wear.

我穿着一件有领子的衬衫和我平常穿的裤子。

No longer can I wear shorts and jeans and just hang out in a t shirt.

我不能再穿短裤和牛仔裤，只穿着 T 恤出去了。

So in this English lesson, I'm going to teach you a few phrases we use when we're talking about something that is ending.

所以在这节英语课中，我将教你们一些我们在谈论某件事结束时使用的短语。

And like I said, the first two to come to a close and to draw to a close.

正如我所说的，前两个即将结束，也即将结束。

These are phrases we use to describe things that are no longer happening.

这些是我们用来描述不再发生的事情的短语。

So summer is definitely coming to a close.

夏天确实即将结束。

It's drawing to a close.

一切即将结束。

And tomorrow I'll need to start teaching.

明天我就要开始教书了。

So I noticed on the ground over here there are a few leaves.

我注意到这边的地上有几片树叶。

It seems like summer is starting to wind down a little bit.

似乎夏天开始稍微结束一点了。

In English, when we say something is starting to wind down, by the way, it's not quite fall yet, but it's coming in a few weeks.

在英语中，当我们说某事开始平息时，顺便说一下，现在还没有完全进入秋天，但几周后就会到来。

In English, when we say something is starting to wind down or when something is winding down, it means again that it is coming to an end.

在英语中，当我们说某事开始平息或某事正在结束时，它再次意味着它即将结束。

Right now, the days are a little cooler.

现在，天气稍微凉爽一些。

The nights are definitely a lot cooler, much cooler than it was back in July.

夜晚确实凉爽多了，比七月份凉爽多了。

So definitely the summer is starting to wind down.

夏天肯定已经开始结束。

We'll still have a few hot days here and there.

部分地区仍会经历几天炎热天气。

We'll still have a few warm nights here and there.

我们这里或那里仍会有几个温暖的夜晚。

But we can certainly start to sense that summer is ending.

但我们确实开始感觉到夏天即将结束。

It's starting to wind down.

天气开始渐渐平息了。

So last week was definitely the final stretch.

因此上周绝对是最后阶段。

It was the final stretch of summer.

那是夏天的最后阶段。

In English, when we use the phrase the final stretch, we're talking about the last few days before something ends or the last couple of weeks.

在英语中，当我们使用短语“the final stage”时，我们指的是某件事结束前的最后几天或最后几周。

I did a lot of work for Jen on the farm last week in the final stretch of summer because I will have less time to help her over the next few weeks.

上周，也就是夏天的最后阶段，我在农场为 Jen 做了很多工作，因为接下来的几周我没有太多时间来帮助她。

So in English, when you are in the final stretch, it means you're in those last few days or weeks before something ends.

所以在英语中，当你处于最后阶段时，意思是你处于某件事结束前的最后几天或几周。

So you might be wondering if I'm sad that summer is ending and I have to say I'm ready to close the door on summer.

所以你可能想知道我是否因为夏天即将结束而感到难过，而我不得不说我已经准备好关上夏天的大门了。

I'm ready to start teaching.

我已准备好开始教学了。

In English, when you say you're going to close the door on something, it means you're going to stop doing it or that it is over.

在英语中，当你说要关上某件事的门时，它的意思是你将停止做这件事，或者这件事已经结束了。

I'm definitely ready to close the door on summer.

我已经准备好结束夏天了。

I do like teaching.

我确实喜欢教书。

I do like farming in the summer.

But I don't mind going back to work at this time of year.

但我并不介意每年这个时候回去工作。

It is starting to get a little bit colder.

天气开始变得有点冷了。
