Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Verb Phrase 126. The verb phrase today is to

be glued to or to be glued to something.  Okay. Let's take a look at the note here.

基礎受動態

We actually have two definitions here.  If someone is glued to a television or

computer screen,  he or she is paying very close attention to something. So we might

often say somebody's eyes are glued to something. Obviously the idea you know,

alludes to real glue. Like it's stuck.  You're staring at something. So we say

that you know,  you're glued to something.  All right and let's look at the second

meaning here. Of course to be staring at something and not move because you are

very interested in what you are looking at. These two would probably cover pretty

much everything. All right. Let's look at several examples we have here. All right.

Example number one. My husband is usually glued to the TV on Thanksgiving watching

one football game after another. You hear a lot of wives or women sometimes

complaining over the Thanksgiving Day holiday. That's like the beginning of

football season and very often a lot of guys will stay home and they don't just

watch one football game. They watch one football game after another football

game after another football game. And sometimes they complain they can't pull

them away. So they might use this term they might say they were glued to the TV

or their eyes are glued to the TV.  All right. Good. So let's look at number two

here. My husband is a day trader you know, like somebody that trades stocks but

basically he trades stocks,  many stocks every day. Okay. Some people can actually

make a lot of money doing this. Some people also it lose their shirt doing

this too. You got to be careful. My husband is a day trader and he spends all his time

glued to a computer screen watching subtle you know,  just like little small

fluctuations in stock prices. Because if it hits a certain number you know,  he

might sell another certain number he might buy and you know,  he's just looking

for like a little movements throughout the day to try to make money on a

daily basis this way. Okay. So obviously his eyes will be glued to the computer

screen. All right let's look at number three here. We were glued to our seats.

Yes. Sometimes we say it this way.  Listening to his intriguing speech and

if somebody was giving probably a very interesting speech and you were

listening intently and you couldn't move you didn't want to leave. So you were

glued to your seats listening to what he was saying because it was so interesting.

It could be. This another way we use it or number four. Her eyes were glued to the

movement of his hands because she thought he was a shoplifter and this may

be somebody in a store and maybe they seen this person before they think this

person might want to be stealing so they're watching everywhere his fingers

are going. So our eyes were glued to his hands you know because she suspected he

might be that type of person that might try to be stealing something in the

store. Okay. Good. Anyway I hope you got it.  I hope it's clear. Thank you for your
