Feifei
大家好，歡迎收聽 BBC英語教學的 “地道英語” 節(jié)目。I'm Feifei.
Phil
And I'm Phil. The expression we're teaching in this programme is about showing people how to do things, or explaining something to them. It's 'walk someone through'.
Feifei
Walk someone through. 表達 “walk someone through” 的字面意思是 “帶某人走過某處”，實際意思是 “耐心地給某人指導、解釋或一步一步地示范做事的步驟”。
Phil
Yes, it's most commonly used at work. It means to guide, explain, or practise something step-by-step. So, if there's something new, and you don't know how to do it – you need someone to walk you through it.
Feifei
是的，表達 “walk someone through” 多用于工作場合中。我記得你剛來咱們部門的時候，同事們都為你耐心地示范、講解做每一項工作的具體步驟。We had to walk you through everything. Luckily, it's all on computers. So, there wasn't much actual walking at all.
Phil
No, it's not really about walking. It's about doing everything slowly and carefully, one step at a time together with someone else. We often use it with different processes. As you were saying, it's very common for when someone starts a new job.
Feifei
所以大家不要被 “walk someone through” 這個表達中的單詞 “walk” 給迷惑了，這個表達的實際意思和 “walk（走路）” 沒有關系。Well, until you walk someone through something, they never really understand it properly. It's good to look at each step in turn.
Phil
True! As well as processes, it can also be used more generally to mean 'explain something carefully'. Listen to these examples.
Examples
We need to produce this report every week. Don't worry, I can walk you through it.
There's a lot of information here, but I can walk you through what it all means.
It's going to be a really busy event, but I can walk you through what's going to happen.
Feifei
你正在收聽的是 BBC英語教學的 “地道英語” 節(jié)目。上面我們介紹了表達 “walk someone through something” 的意思和用法。我們用 “walk someone through something” 來描述 “耐心地給某人講解、示范應該如何做某事”。
Phil
It's a verb, but there is also a noun that comes from it. We can talk about a 'walkthrough' – that's a practice or a demonstration of something.
Feifei
“Walkthrough” 是名詞，意思是 “演練，逐步演示”。比如：After you've walked someone through a process, they can do a walkthrough so you can see if they understand it!
Phil
Well, hopefully now we've walked you through how to use 'walk someone through'. Let's stop here.
Feifei
See you next time!
Phil
Bye!
