D: Hey，bro，did you hear Eminem's last album? It's the shit !
A: Are you serious? I thought it was dope.
D: Ya，it's the shit!
A: What? But shit means it sucks，right?
D: Ya，if it sucks，it's shit，but if it's awesome，we can say it's the shit.
A: Oh，so we are the shit!
All right，听完今天的对话之后，我们要来学习“ shit ”和“ the shit ”的区别。So，大白，what's the difference?
O K. This is maybe really weird. If you say something “ it's shit ”，it means it's bad；it's awful. But if you say something “ it's the shit ”，it means it's great；it means it's amazing.
Why we say this? I honestly don't know，but you need to remember the“the”. If something is“shit”，it's bad；if something is“the shit”，it's good .
OK，“ It's the shit. ”是当下年轻人非常喜欢的一个表达，我估计也是来自于说唱文化，some hip-hop stuff。(Darby: Ya, it comes from hip-hop.) Ya, right. 所以 当你觉得某物特别棒的时候，你就可以说：“It's the shit.”
OK，so it's time for today's bonus. You heard Alex say that he thought that the album was “ dope ”. OK，this is another word that means “ awesome ”. You can say，“That party was dope.” “The song is dope.”
“Dope” used to mean drugs，but nowadays young people really like to say，if something is cool，it's “dope”.
如果大家看一些有关说唱的电影，就是美国的一些hip-hop的电影，你会发现， “dope”最开始指的是“大麻”（一种毒品），现在很多年轻人把它当成一个形容词 ：“The party was dope.”这个派对太炸了。
