Feifei
大傢好，歡迎收聽 AYYBLOG 英語教學的 “地道英語” 節目。在每期節目中，我們都會介紹一個英語母語人士或講英語流利的人常用的表達。I’m Feifei, and I’m feeling so good today.

Phil
Why’s that?

Feifei
Well, this morning, I’ve been for a run, tidied my house, made a healthy lunch to bring in, and done some language study. I came in to work and cleared my inbox – I answered every single message.

Phil
Wow, I woke up late, drank too much coffee and stumbled into work somehow. Now, I’m just worried how I’ll get everything done.

Feifei
Don’t worry, it’s easy. You just have to have a can-do attitude. Tell yourself you can do it, keep smiling and get it done!

Phil
Well, the first thing I’m going to do is point out that ‘can-do attitude’ is a great expression to learn. If you have a can-do attitude, you believe you can get things done, and do them enthusiastically. Feifei, your can-do attitude today is quite impressive.

Feifei
Yes, if problems don’t worry you – you just work through them happily, then you have a can-do attitude.

Phil
Listen to these examples of people using the expression ‘can-do attitude’.

Examples
I’ve got guests coming over, and I need to clean the whole house. I just need a can-do attitude to get it all done.

I just hired someone new for the team. She had a real can-do attitude. The others were a bit lazy.

I’m trying to learn a new language, and I guess I need a can-do attitude to get me through the first two lessons.

你正在收聽的是 AYYBLOG 英語教學的 “地道英語” 節目。以上我們一起學習瞭表達 “can-do attitude” 的用法。“Can-do attitude” 的意思是 “積極進取的態度”。正像這個表達中的 “can-do” 一樣，如果你有 “can-do attitude” 就意味著你認為你能做到想做的事情——“you can do what you want to do”。

Phil
‘Can-do attitude’ is a common expression, but it’s also possible to use ‘can-do’ as a compound adjective before other similar nouns – you could talk about someone’s ‘can-do spirit’, or ‘can-do mindset’, or ‘can-do way of thinking’.

Feifei
是的。除瞭 “can-do attitude”，我們還可以用 “can-do” 作為一個復合形容詞來修飾不同的名詞。比如，“can-do spirit（積極進取的精神）”、“can-do mindset（積極進取的心態）” 等等。

Phil
It’s informal, and more common in American English – but it is also possible to use ‘can-do’ as a noun. You could say ‘She showed a lot of can-do on that project’.

Feifei
A can-do attitude can really help you improve your English, so why not start by coming back next time to learn another English expression? See you then!

Phil
Bye!
