   Nick: Hi everybody, this is Nick. Welcome to teaching series "how do you say this in American English."大家好,我是Nick.


  Brad: 大家好,我是Brad
  Nick: 今天我们来学一个词,叫做纠结。纠结应该怎么说?纠结一般是用在有很多options,有很多选项的时候,你不知道选哪一个。这时候内心的想法就是很纠结。
  Nick: I went to a shopping mall yesterday. I wanted to buy a wallet for my dad. I love my dad. I wanted to buy one for him. So I saw two wallets, one was like rectangular one. And the other one was a square one. Both of them were pretty good. So I was swaying between the two.
  Brad: Yeah I could see how could be like weighing the options between having a longer wallet where you can fit more stuff in it versus 2 a square wallet where although looks nicer but you can't hold as much stuff in it. I can see why you'd be on the fence about that.
  Nick: On the fence? What do you mean? Is it something about the fence?
  Brad: You are not literally 3 on a fence. It is used as the same thing as "weighing between the options" or "swaying between the options". You are in between two different things. For instance, as a Chinese international student, you could be on the fence whether or not if you wanna stay studying in China, or if you wanna hop 1 on the other side of the fences and study in the United States.
  Nick: So it's like the fence and then it divides it into two parts
  Brad: It doesn't have to be places. It could just between two options. You are on the fence…
  Nick: It's a metaphor 4.
  Brad: Yeah it's a metaphor
  Nick: Some of them they wanted to go the United States and study something but some of them, the wanted to stay in China
  Brad: Yeah I could see China, I'm sure, is more familiar for them. It'll be more familiar for me to stay in America. Let's say may be they wanna see the other twenty percent of Americans probably fat. People have drugs. But if they wanna see the other eighty percent who are .
  Nick: They are not fat…
  Nick: 刚刚呢我们就是说,纠结,你可以说是weighing among the options.就是说在不同的选项之中纠结。或者是说像我刚刚说的,swaying among the options,也是一样的,就是说在选项中纠结。或者是on the fence, 它不是说actual的一个东西,不是实际的一个篱笆活着一个桩之类的,它一样也是指纠结的意思。你不知道选哪个,好像站在篱笆上,左右都可以去,不知道去哪边。大概就是这个意思。So this is pretty much for this time, I'll see you guys next time, bye.
  Brad: 再见
