Nick: Hi everybody, this is Nick. Welcome to teaching series “how do you say this in American English.”

今天呢，我们来学一个词，就做坑。这个可以作为一个名词，但是我们今天讲解的是形容词。比如我们说，这件衣服太坑了，在这个情况，坑要怎么说呢？首先这个坑，可以指价格太坑，第二个方面可以指质量太坑，太差的意思。

Nick: So Brad, wanna learn an authentic Chinese phrase?

Brad: Sure, why not?! What is it?

Nick: It's called 坑. It can be used to describe a thing, like the clothes. Say like I bought a jacket online. When I received that thing, I was pissed off（很生气）, I could say “ This jacket is so 坑”

Brad: What do you mean by “坑” here? Is it about the price? Was it too expensive or what?

Nick: It could be one of the possibilities. Yeah. It was like too expensive.

Brad: So it's kinda like what I would say as “being ripped off（被敲竹杠）” here. So坑, Can I translate to “being ripped off’? The example that I have is when I got my jeep/trunk fixed, I paid $500.

Nick: Is it real?

Brad: Yeah, $500 to get “fixed”, to get “repaired” but it still being broke! So the $500 just went away. I got totally ripped off, it was “坑“

Nick: Yeah it was super 坑

Nick: Yeah it's a rip off. Plus, saying this jacket is 坑can mean it has bad quality as well.

Brad: Ok so it's kind of like the word “shoddy”. If it was shoddy work, let's say you are building a chair, it's all wobbly（不稳定的）. You did a shoddy job building this chair. 

Nick: In that situation, you can always use 坑.

Brad: ok, I got you.

Nick: You can say, like I said, the jacket is so 坑. It can mean the price was so expensive.

Brad: Yeah and it wasn't built well. It was built shoddy.

Nick:那Brad和我刚刚就是说，坑可以说质量和价格。如果是价格，可以说这个是一个rip off. And the other situation 就是说质量，可以用shoddy，说质量很差的意思。也可以指代，翻译称为“坑”.So this is pretty much it about this time. I'll see you guys next time. Bye.

Brad: 再见
