書呆子BBC地道英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)
Jo: This is Real English from BBC Learning English. I’m Jo.
Jean: And I’m Jean.
Jo: Today we’re going to look at words and phrases that you might not find in your English text book.
Jean: 學(xué)習(xí)英式英語(yǔ)非常重要的一部分就是要學(xué)習(xí)他們?nèi)粘Ｊ褂玫挠⒄Z(yǔ)口語(yǔ)，而且這些英語(yǔ)的`通俗說法并不是經(jīng)常能在書本上學(xué)到的。那Jo，我們今天要學(xué)的英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)詞是什么呢?
Jo: Today’s word is geek – G.E.E.K. – geek.
Jean: Geek. Geek是個(gè)什么東西呢?
Jo: A geek is a boring, unfashionable person. It’s a negative word.
Jean: OK知道了。Geek在英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)里有點(diǎn)貶義詞的性質(zhì)，就是用來(lái)形容那種比較執(zhí)著鉆研學(xué)問、不太管別的事情書呆子氣的人。那一般英國(guó)人怎么用這個(gè)詞呢?
Jo: Well, you could say ‘her new boyfriend is a real geek’. You mean he’s boring, unfashionable, so you don’t approve or like him.
Jean: I see.
Insert
A : How’s your brother?
B: Fine, but he’s a geek. He dresses like my grandfather and just sits in front of the computer all day long.
Jo: My neighbour is a geek, Jean.
Jean: Really Jo?
Jo: Yes. His clothes are very out of fashion. He never does anything either.
Jean: So what does he do all day?
Jo: He just plays computer games all day long. I don’t think he realises what a geek he is.
Jo: Perhaps you should tell him?
Jo: Well I’m not sure about that! Anyway, let’s recap. Geek is a negative word for someone who is boring and unfashionable.
Jean: 好了讓我們?cè)倩仡櫼幌陆裉鞂W(xué)到的新詞吧。Geek就是指那種不愛和別人交往內(nèi)向孤僻的人。Well, it looks like we don’t have any more time.
Jo: Yes, that’s it. 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.
