Li: Hello everybody, I'm Yang Li and this is Authentic Real English from the BBC. Tracy: And I'm Tracy. Li: Are you ok Tracy, you sound a bit funny? Tracy: Erm, I'm fine, it's just these jeans are a bit tight. Li: Tracy 她说她今天穿的牛仔裤实在是太紧了。Why did you get such a tight pair? Tracy: Well, you see, skinny jeans are really fashionable right now. Li: What? Skinny jeans? Tracy: Yes S.K.I.N.N.Y. skinny jeans. They're basically very tight jeans which become even tighter towards the foot. But they look great. Li: 看来 Tracy 为了好看实在是吃了不少苦头。Skinny jeans 就是现在正流行的窄腿牛仔裤。这种牛仔裤穿上非常的贴身，就连小腿部分都是紧箍着的，不过这可是近几年年轻的英国青年人最为推崇的流行款式。而我们的时尚跟风大队长Tracy 当然也不例外。 Tracy: 你说什么？ Li: Ah, I'm only joking. Example A: Hello sir, how can I help you? B: I'm looking for a pair of skinny jeans. A: How about these? B: Oh no, not skinny enough. Let's go tighter! Tracy: So Li, you were saying I'm too old for skinny jeans… Li: Oh no no no no… Tracy: But you're right. They do look better on some people than others. Do you like them Li? Li: I do… very much… Tracy: Anyway, that's our phrase for today; skinny jeans. Now, let me just sit down. Oh, that's worse. I think I'll get a normal pair next time.
