Feifei
Hello and welcome to Authentic Real English. 欢迎收听 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目。我是冯菲菲。

Rob
… and me, Rob. Hey, Feifei, I wonder if you can help me?

Feifei
Of course. What is it?

Rob
Well, when I was cycling to the office, I got a puncture, and I need help fixing it.

Feifei
Sure, I can help you with that – it’s a doddle.

Rob
Right, so you think it’s easy?

Feifei
Yes – that’s what a doddle means. 在英语日常交流中，人们用 “a doddle” 来指 “轻而易举的事情，不费吹灰之力的事”。注意，我们只能在非正式场合中使用这个说法。

Rob
Hmm… if you say so! Now, can we hear some examples first?

Feifei
Yes. That’s a doddle too.

Examples
According to the instructions, building this bookshelf should be a doddle.

Getting to the museum is a doddle; you only need to take one train straight there.

The test was a doddle, and I got full marks.

Feifei
你正在收听的是 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目。刚刚我们一起学习了如何用 “a doddle” 来指 “办事轻而易举，毫不费力”。Just like mending your bike puncture. In fact, it’s such a doddle, maybe I can show you how to fix it, Rob?

Rob
Well, err, I did try and I managed to break the wheel.

Feifei
Oh, no. Maybe fixing your puncture won’t be such a doddle after all.

Rob
Maybe not. Perhaps it’s time to start walking.

Feifei
Good idea. Walking to work will definitely be a doddle!

Rob
I hope so. Bye-bye.

Feifei
Bye.
