大家好,欢迎收听 BBC 英语教学的 “你问我答” 节目。We are here to answer your questions about English language, culture and life. I'm Buli, and with me today is Georgie.

Georgie
Hi Buli! Um, have you seen my favourite pen anywhere? I seem to have lost it.

Buli
Here it is.

Georgie
Aha! Thanks, Buli. OK, time to hear this week's question.

Question
你好,我总是会在英语中听到其他人说 “gosh”、“aha” 或者 “nah” 等等感叹词和语气词,但我并不总是能理解他们想表达什么意思。还有一些词的拼写我也拿不准,比如 “hmm” 和 “um”。请问能介绍一些感叹词和语气词的用法吗?

Georgie
Wow! I like this question. Exclamations like these can express sudden feelings, like when I said 'Aha!' when you found my pen. You can say 'Aha!' when you suddenly realise or find something.

Buli
Aha! I didn't know that. Thanks, Georgie.

Now, you just said 'Wow!' in response to the question. We can say 'Wow!' when we are amazed by something.

Georgie
Exactly. Another example – 'Wow Buli! Your outfit is amazing!' Shall we learn some more?

Buli
Nah… let's go home instead. Now, that was a joke – 'nah' is just an informal way to say 'no'. 刚刚我和 Georgie 示范了三个在口语交流中十分常见的感叹词 “Aha!(表示惊讶或者得意)”、“Wow!(表示惊叹或佩服)” 和 “nah(表示不同意或否定)” 的用法。But of course we should learn some more, Georgie. Let's get started.

Georgie
OK, so we've covered 'Aha!' and 'nah' from the question. Next is 'Gosh!' which can be used to express surprise or emphasise a strong feeling. For example, I might step outside of my house and say 'Gosh! It's absolutely freezing. I'll need a coat.'

Buli
Yes, or 'Gosh! I didn't expect you to drive so fast.' 单词 “gosh” 和 “wow” 的用法有些类似,它们都可以用来表示惊叹或者惊讶,其中 “gosh” 表达出的情感更加强烈。

Ooh, Georgie, are you alright?

Georgie
Ouch! I just dropped my bag on my foot. You can say 'Ouch!' or 'Ow!' when you suddenly feel pain, like I just did. Of course, often we can't control what comes out of our mouths in that situation, but 'Ouch!' and 'Ow!' are common for English speakers.

Buli
Oops! That sounds painful… You should try and be more careful. You can say 'Oops!' or 'Oopsy!' when you make a small mistake or do something clumsy, like 'Oops! I just tripped over the step' or 'I accidentally deleted the photos – oopsy!'

当人们不小心受伤或者突然感受到疼痛或刺激时,通常会下意识地喊出 “Ouch!” 或者 “Ow!”。而如果你不小心出了一个小错,比如,失手把东西掉在了地上,就可以说 “Oops!” 或者 “Oopsy!”。

Georgie
OK, I've got some other good exclamations to share…

Buli
Yay!

Georgie
Buli! That's what I was going to say! You can say 'Yay!', 'Woo!', 'Woohoo!' or 'Whoop!' to express excitement or to celebrate an achievement. For example, imagine a friend has just told me they just got a promotion. I might say 'Woohoo! That's amazing!'

Buli
Yes. These are also the exclamations that people tend to make at concerts to cheer on the performer – Woo!

“Yay”、“woo” 和 “woohoo” 都是用于表达 “兴奋、激动或庆祝” 的感叹词。

Georgie
OK… now the tricky part of the question. How to spell filler words like 'um'.

Buli
你正在收听的是 BBC 英语教学制作的 “你问我答” 节目。刚刚我和 Georgie 分享了常用的英语感叹词和语气词的用法。接下来,我们再来看看其中几个容易拼错的单词的拼写方式。

Spelling filler words like 'um' or 'er' is hard because they're really just sounds that come out when we are thinking or hesitating and can vary between individual speakers. Usually though, 'um' is spelt u-m, 'er' is spelt e-r and 'hmm' is spelt h-m-m.

Georgie
Yes. The ones that are more difficult to spell are the exclamations for disgust like 'Ugh!', because that throat sound we make isn't common in English, so we don't have an obvious way to represent the sound with letters. Having said that, 'Ugh!' is often spelt u-g-h. I hope that helps!

Buli
Thank you, Georgie. 在英语中,人们想要表示自己在犹豫或者思考时经常会发出 “um”、“er” 或者 “hmm” 等声音。虽然不同的人在使用这些语气词时的发音方式通常有所不同,但这些单词往往有着一定的拼写方式,不能随意改动。比如,“hmm” 和 “um” 通常拼作 “h-m-m” 和 “u-m”。此外,常见的表示恶心或者不悦的单词 “Ugh!” 的拼写方式是 “u-g-h”。
