Diarmuid: Hello and welcome to Authentic Real English from BBC Learning English. I'm Diarmuid and I'm here today with Feifei. Feifei: Hello Diarmuid, how are you? Diarmuid: Actually, I'm a little tired. I was at my school reunion last night and I didn't get to bed until very late. Feifei: 那你一定玩儿的很开心啦？ Diarmuid: Yes, it was great to catch up with my old classmates. Feifei: What did you do with your old classmates? Diarmuid: I caught up with my old classmates. To catch up - C.A.T.C.H. U.P. - catch up with someone means to find out what they have being doing since you last met. Feifei: 当我们说 to catch up with someone 意思就是了解某人近况，自你上次和某个朋友通过话或见过面后他/她最近的生活，工作，情感等等方面的状况。那距你上次和同学 caught up 相隔了多久呀？ Diarmuid: Yes, it has been nearly five years since we caught up at our last reunion party. Feifei: 我们来听一些例子教我们怎么使用 catch up. Example A: What are you doing this afternoon? B: I'm catching up with my friend as I haven’t seen her in ages. A: I think we need to have more regular meetings. B: Yes, let’s try to catch up once a week. Feifei: Did you find out anything interesting when you were catching up with your classmates? Diarmuid: Well, I heard a rumour 传闻 that one of them won the lottery 中彩票了。 Feifei: Really? Diarmuid: I don't know. I wasn't able to talk to him last night. But we have arranged a catch up next week. I will ask him then. Feifei: 刚刚你说 a catch-up, 那么这个短语还有它的名词形式？ Diarmuid: A catch-up as a noun refers to a meeting. Feifei: I see.
