John: This is Real English from BBC Learning English. I’m John. Jean: And I’m Jean. John: 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节目当中，我们会带领大家一起来学习和熟悉一些近代英式英语里新出现的词汇和新说法。 John: It’s very important to stay up-to-date with English as new words and expressions enter the language all the time. Jean: OK John，今天我们要学的新词是什么呢？ John: Today’s expression is ‘video diary’. Jean: Video diary. 录像日记？怎么讲？ John: Well, a diary is a book in which you write down your thoughts, what has happened that day. Jean: a diary 通常就是一本日记的意思。 John: Yes, and video diary is the same thing, but you film yourself instead. Jean: 你的意思是拍摄下来的日记吗？ John: Some TV shows use them, like on reality TV. It’s like a private look at what the person is thinking and feeling. Insert 录音片断 A: How was your trip around Australia? B: Brilliant! I kept a video diary. Would you like to watch it? Jean: Do you keep a diary? John: No, but perhaps I will open a video diary. Jean: Really? John: Yes. It would be interesting to look at in years to come. Jean: Yes. John: And a video diary would be more interesting than reading. Jean: Any diary of yours would be interesting! John: Yes, but I might not let you watch it! Jean: 今天我们谈到的Video diary是在写实纪录片和真人秀里经常用到的把自己的心情想法用摄像机拍摄下来当作日记的手法。And that’s all we have time for today. John: Yes, that’s all. Thanks for listening. 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. |
