Jo: This is Real English from BBC Learning English. I’m Jo. Jean: And I’m Jean. Jo: Today we’re going to look at words and phrases that have recently become part of the English language. Jean: 在我们的Real English节目中，我们将学到一些现代英国英语的新词汇和新说法。 Jo: Today’s new word is ‘bloke’ – B.L.O.K.E. - bloke. Jean: Bloke. Could you explain what that means? Jo: Well, maybe you know the word ‘guy’. Jean: Yes, guy 就是男人的意思。 Jo: Yes. Well, bloke is another informal word meaning man. Jean: So bloke 就是英式英语里男人的非正式称呼。So Jo, could you give us an example of how we use it? Jo: Of course. Imagine we were in a restaurant, and I saw someone I knew. I might say to you ‘The bloke over there is my friend from work’. Jean: I see. Insert 录音片断 A: I met your brother the other night. We had a really good time. B: Yes, he’s a really nice bloke, isn’t he? A: Excuse me, where are the toilets? B: I’m not sure. Ask that bloke standing by the door – I think he works here. Jean: So, are most of your friends blokes, Jo? Jo: I don’t know. I haven’t really thought about it…let’s see. No, I think it’s about half and half, actually. Jean: And what sort of blokes do you like? Jo: That’s a very personal question! But a lot of my friends are blokes, anyway. I also work with a lot of blokes, rather than women. Jean: Me too. Do you prefer it that way? Jo: It doesn’t make a difference for me, really. Blokes, women, I don’t mind who I work with. Jean: 好啦，让我们再来回顾一下吧 – bloke –就是英式英语里男人的非正式称呼 – bloke. Jo: Anyway, it’s time to go. You’ve been listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. Join us again soon for more up-to-the-minute Real English. Bye. Jean: See you next time. |
