If you have heard American English, maybe you heard this phrase: Burned out.
如果你听过美语，那么你可能知道这个短语：精疲力竭。
Does this mean something was on fire, and now is out?
它的意思是某东西着火，然后烧光了吗？
Or maybe it means totally tired? See if you can tell. Listen:
还是说表示很累？看看你能否分辨出来。让我们听一下:

Sara got burned out spending so much time volunteering at the hospital.
莎拉累坏了，她在医院做义工上花了非常多的时间。
She is really going to need a vacation. Totally.
她非常需要假期。确实。
"Burned out" means you are very tired. It means you have lost interest in something.
Burned out的意思是你非常疲惫。它表示你已经对某事失去了兴趣
That is because you have done too much of the same thing.
这是因为你为同一件事做得太多了，
It is like a light bulb that has stopped shining, because all its energy is used up inside.
就像灯泡不再亮了，因为里面的能源用光了
Now, it's your turn to think of ways to use "burned out".
现在，轮到你来思考一下burned out的用法了。
