hi everybody my name is Alisha in this
lesson I'm going to talk about some
phrasal verbs that use the word time
these are expressions relating to time
and how to use it or not so let's get
started okay first expression is to
spend time to spend time means to use
time yes but we think of it as a
resource here we have spent which we
also use for something like money which
we think of as a resource we have
limited amounts of that resource so when
we say we're going to spend time with
something we're thinking about time as a
resource we have a limited amount of
time and we choose to use that time for
something so an example of this
I spent time studying last night so I
used my resource my time a resource to
study I spent time studying last night
ok let's move along to the second
expression which is make time make time
to make time means to remove things from
a schedule to do something it's like to
do something else so you have an
established schedule a set schedule but
there's another activity you would like
to do so you need to choose something to
remove from the existing schedule in
order to do this new activity so we say
that's called making time to make time
so you're creating time in your schedule
creating time in your life for a new
activity an example of this is can you
make time for a meeting so you could use
this when you're talking to a busy
person like could you please make time
for a meeting meaning could you please
change part of your schedule to arrange
a meeting with us so please make time
create time this relates to another
expression here which is find time very
similar to make time but the difference
here find time refers to searching a
schedule for of a
of all time so instead of removing time
from your schedule we use find time to
mean looking at the schedule and
searching for an open place like you
search on a calendar for example for a
specific day or for a specific time to
do an activity so we use the expression
find time to talk about that an example
of this let's find time to catch up
let's find time to catch up so in other
words we don't need to remove something
from our schedule so we don't use make
time here but find time so let's find
some point in our schedules that is good
for both of us where we can catch up so
it's a little less serious sounding than
make time
so find time is more like let's just
meet let's get together at a point
that's good for both of us we don't need
to remove anything from our schedules
okay let's move along to the next
expression which is waste time to waste
time so waste waste relates to throwing
something away like trash or garbage
so waste time means to use time in a non
productive way non productive so that
means you're not doing something useful
with your time an example of this I
wasted so much time on video games so in
other words playing video games was a
useless way to spend my time so I did
not do something productive the speaker
feels that playing video games was a
waste of time a useless way to use time
okay this is similar then to the next
expression which is kill time to kill
time sounds quite violent but it's
actually not to kill time means to do
something until a specific time so that
means typically you are waiting for
something for example you have a three
o'clock meeting you arrive at the
location 30 minutes early you have to
wait until the three o'clock meeting
until the three o'clock meeting you can
kill time so that means you
find something to do it's usually
useless like maybe checking social media
or you're watching TV somewhere so
you're killing time so you're doing
something that's typically not important
until something else happens like your
meeting begins or the person you're
waiting for arrives an example I'm
killing time until my mom arrives at the
station so in this case the speaker is
waiting at the station for his or her
mother to arrive so until that time
until the mother arrives the speaker is
killing time doing something probably
useless or just walking around so doing
nothing really important just killing
time okay let's move on to the last
expression here which is take time so
many people ask the difference between
take time and spend time take time is
used to mean to use time for a
specifically chosen activity so we have
decided to do this thing with our time
take time and spend time they can be
used in pretty much the same situations
remember spend time is used kind of to
have the nuance of using time as a
resource something there's a finite
amount of take time doesn't necessarily
have that same nuance of a resource but
it does sound like you're specifically
choosing to use your time for that
specific activity so an example of this
is he took time to visit his grandma he
took time to visit his grandma so he
specifically chose to use his time for
this activity so it sounds like there
was a clear decision made here we could
substitute spend here like he spent time
visiting his grandma for example that
would be fine as well but either are
okay here so you can kind of choose
which you prefer if you want to make it
sound like a resource I suppose you
could use a spend time but take time
also just sounds like yeah
you really made a clear decision for
what to do with your schedule so I hope
that these expressions help you express
a little bit better how you use time and
think about time in English of course if
you have any questions or comments or
want to practice using one of these
expressions please feel free to do so in

大家好，我的名字是 Alisha 在这
节课中我将讨论一些
使用单词 time 的短语动词
这些是与 时间
以及如何使用它，所以让我们
开始吧，好的第一个表达是
花时间花时间意味着使用
时间是的，但我们认为它是我们
在这里花费的资源，我们
也将其用于我们认为的金钱之类的东西
作为一种资源，我们的
资源数量是有限的，所以当
我们说我们要花时间做某事时，
我们认为时间是一种
资源，我们的时间是有限的
，我们选择将时间用于
某事，所以 一个例子
我昨晚花时间学习所以我
用我的资源我的时间一个资源来
学习我昨晚花时间学习
好的让我们继续第二个
表达，那就是腾出时间腾出时间
来腾出时间意味着删除事物 从
一个时间表去做某事 它喜欢
做其他事情 所以你有一个
既定的时间表 一个固定的时间表
但是你想做另一个活动
所以你需要
从现有的时间表
中选择一些东西来做这个新的活动 所以 我们说
这叫做腾出时间来腾出时间
所以你在你的日程安排中
创造时间在你的生活中为一项新活动创造时间
一个例子是你
可以为会议腾出时间这样你可以
在你谈话时使用它 一个忙碌的
人，比如你能抽出
时间开会吗？意思是你能不能改变你的
部分日程
安排与我们会面，所以请抽出时间
创造时间这与
这里的另一个表达有关，它与找时间非常
相似，但
这里的区别 find time 是指搜索所有时间的
时间表，
因此
我们使用 find time 来
表示查看时间表并
搜索一个开放的地方，而不是从您的时间表中删除时间 就像您
在日历上搜索，例如
特定日期或特定时间
进行活动，所以我们使用表达
查找时间来谈论这个
例子让我们找时间赶上
让我们找时间赶上
换句话说，我们不需要
从我们的日程安排中删除一些东西，所以我们不在这里使用制造
时间，而是找时间，所以让
我们在我们的日程安排中找到一些对我们双方都有好处的时间点
，我们可以赶上，所以
它会少一点 听起来很严肃，而不是
腾出时间，
所以找时间更像是让我们
见面吧让
我们在对我们双方都有好处的时候聚在一起，我们不需要
从我们的日程安排中删除任何东西，
好吧，让我们继续下一个
表达，这是浪费时间 浪费
时间，所以浪费 浪费与
扔掉垃圾或垃圾之类的东西有关，
所以浪费时间意味着以非生产性的方式使用时间
非生产性的，这
意味着你没有用你的时间做一些有用的事情
一个例子 我
浪费了很多时间 在 vi 上 deo games 所以
换句话说，玩电子游戏是一种
无用的消磨时间的方式，所以我
没有做一些有成效的事情 演讲者
认为玩电子游戏是
浪费时间 一种无用的时间使用方式
好吧 这与下一个类似
kill time to kill
time 的表达听起来很暴力，但
实际上不是消磨时间意味着在
特定时间之前做某事，这
意味着通常您正在等待
某事例如您有一个三
点钟的会议您到达该
位置 提前 30 分钟，你必须
等到三点开会
等到三点开会，你可以
消磨时间，这意味着你
可以找点事做 这通常是
没用的，比如查看社交媒体，
或者你正在某个地方看电视，所以
你 '正在消磨时间，所以你正在做
一些通常不重要的事情，
直到其他事情发生，例如你的
会议开始或你正在
等待的人到达一个例子我正在
消磨时间，直到我妈妈 到达
车站，所以在这种情况下，说话者
正在车站等待他或她的
母亲到达，所以直到那个时候，
直到母亲到达，说话者正在
消磨时间做一些可能
无用的事情或只是四处走动所以
什么都不做真正重要的事情只是杀死
时间好吧，让我们继续这里的最后一个
表达，即花费时间，所以
很多人问
花费时间和花费时间之间的区别花费时间
用于表示将时间用于
特定选择的活动，所以我们
决定用我们的
花费时间和花费时间它们
可以在几乎相同的情况下使用
记住花费时间是用来
具有将时间用作资源的细微差别的
东西有
有限的花费时间不一定
具有相同的细微差别 一种资源，但
听起来您确实是在专门
选择将您的时间用于该
特定活动，因此
例如他花时间去看望他的祖母他
花时间 去拜访他的祖母，所以他
特别选择将他的时间用于
这项活动，所以听起来
在这里做出了明确的决定，我们可以
代替在这里度过，就像他花时间
去拜访他的祖母一样，这
也可以，但两者都
可以 在这里，
如果你想让它
听起来像一种资源
，你可以选择
你喜欢的东西 我
希望这些表达方式能帮助你
更好地表达你如何用英语表达你如何使用时间和
思考时间当然如果
你有任何问题或意见或
想练习使用这些表达方式之一，
