　　BBC地道英語口語:Scruffy 衣著不整齊

　　Neil: This is Real English from BBC Learning English. I’m Neil.

　　Helen: And I’m Helen.

　　Neil: This is the programme in which we look at words and phrases that you might not find in your dictionary.

　　Neil: Today’s word is scruffy.

　　Helen: Scruffy.

　　Neil: S-C-R-U-F-F-Y scruffy.

　　Helen: And what does it mean?

　　Neil: Scruffy is used to describe somebody who has an untidy appearance.

　　Helen: Mmm, I see. 一個(gè)人如果被形容成 scruffy， 這就是說他的衣著不整齊，穿的比較亂。

　　Neil: Yes, perhaps his shirt isn’t tucked in, his hair is messy, and he has ripped jeans.

　　Helen: He sounds really scruffy. 如果一個(gè)男孩穿的'牛仔褲已經(jīng)破了，頭發(fā)也是亂糟糟的，然后襯衫也是皺巴巴的，那我們就可以說他是 scruffy.

　　Insert

　　A: Did you see what Mike wore to the wedding?

　　B: I know. He was in an old pair of jeans and a t-shirt. He hadn’t even combed his hair.

　　A: How could anyone be so scruffy on their own wedding day?

　　Neil: What a scruff!

　　Helen: A scruff?

　　Neil: Yes, scruffy is an adjective, but you can also call someone “a scruff”.

　　Helen: A scruff. Scruffy 是一個(gè)形容詞, 你也可以說一個(gè)人是 “a scruff”. 這就是個(gè)名詞了。Is it rude to call someone a scruff?

　　Neil: The words “scruffy”, or “a scruff” are not rude, but they are informal, so be careful.

　　Helen: Scruffy, 或者是 a scruff 都不是罵人的話, 不過它們是通俗表達(dá), 所以用的時(shí)候還是要注意場合。

　　Neil: Well, I’m going to an expensive restaurant tonight so I’m going to put some nice clothes on.

　　Helen: Yeah, you probably should, you are looking a bit scruffy!

　　Neil: Thank you!

　　Helen: You’ve been listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. Join us again soon for more up-to-the-minute Real English. Bye.

　　Neil: See you next time.
