BBC地道的英語口語表達(dá)

　　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: 在我們的Real English地道英語節(jié)目當(dāng)中，我們會來學(xué)習(xí)一些近代英語語言當(dāng)中出現(xiàn)的.新詞匯和新用法。

　　John: It’s very important to stay up-to-date with English as new words and expressions enter the language all the time.

　　Jean: 那好，John, 我們今天要學(xué)的新詞是什么呢?

　　John: Today’s new expression is ‘top of the range’. That’s four words – top.of.the and range, R.A.N.G.E

　　Jean: Top of the range. 能給我們解釋一下它的意思嗎?

　　John: Well, it’s not too difficult. Top of the range means the most expensive or best of a group of similar products.

　　Jean: 我知道了。Top of the range 就是說在同類事物中算是最好最先進(jìn)或者最昂貴的一種或是一款，對不對John?

　　John: It’s common with cars. You might say ‘my father drives a top of the range BMW’.

　　Jean: I see. 那我們只能拿它形容車嗎?

　　John: No. any product that involves technology will have a top of the range model. There will be cheaper types, then the best and most expensive.

　　John: Well, my laptop computer used to be.

　　John: No – it’s too old.

　　Jean: I see.

　　John: But my mobile phone is top of the range.

　　Jean: Really? Was it expensive?

　　John: Yes, but it’s excellent.

　　Jean: You’re lucky. Mine is very old now. 好，讓我們再回顧一下，– top of the range – 就是形容某個事物最好、最先進(jìn)、最有水準(zhǔn)。Well, that’s all we have time for today.

　　John: Yes, I’m afraid it is. You’ve been listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. Join us again soon for more up-to-the-minute Real English. Bye.
