English in a Minute – Lefty Loosey, Righty Tighty:左松右紧
Welcome to English in a Minute from home.
Things like this peanut butter lid screw on to the right and off to the left.
To remember this, we have a little expression. Let's listen.
Anna, how's the repair going?
I'm trying to loosen this screw, but it's stuck.
Remember lefty loosey, righty tighty.
I know, Jonathan.
No, your other left.
Thanks, Jonathan.
There you go. That's right.
Be quiet, Jonathan!
"Lefty loosey, righty tighty" reminds us how to loosen a screw.
Turning to the left loosens it, and turning it to the right makes it tighter.
You just have to know your right from your left, Anna.
And that's English in a Minute!
