A stingy man
What a stinge!
Neil: Hello, welcome to Real English from BBC Learning1 English, I'm Neil.

Feifei: 大家好,我是冯菲菲,欢迎收听今天的《地道英语》。

Neil: In Real English we look at words and phrases people use all the time which you might not find in your dictionary.

Feifei: 在《地道英语》节目当中我们给大家介绍一些在字典里查不到的新词汇和新短语。 Are you alright Neil?

Neil: Well, not really. It's my brother's birthday next week and I need to buy him a present.

Feifei: What's wrong with that?

Neil: I don't really want to spend more than £2, so it's quite difficult to find something good.

Feifei: £2! Don't be such a stinge! Neil 的哥哥下星期结婚,他这个做弟弟的只想买一个不超过两镑钱,也就是合人民币三十块钱的礼物送给哥哥。

Neil: Well, he's a bigger stinge than me. Last year, he only spent a pound on my birthday!

Feifei: 真的吗?这两兄弟还真有意思,一个赛一个的抠门儿,去年Neil过生日的时候他哥哥送他的礼物价值一英镑,合人民币十五块钱。 He's a real stinge.

Neil: A stinge is a person who doesn't like to spend much money. They always buy the cheapest thing possible.

Feifei: A stinge 是指一个不喜欢花钱的人,买什么东西都捡最便宜的买,是generous 的反义词,也就是吝啬的。 Generous 大方的。

Example

A: Isn't it your wedding anniversary2 soon? Are you expecting to go out for a nice meal?

B: Ha! You must be joking. My husband's such a stinge we'll probably end up at McDonalds.

Neil: Her husband's going to take her to McDonalds for their wedding anniversary. That's so stingy.

Feifei: Stingy. Stingy 是形容词; a stinge 是名词。

Neil: So, you can say he's stingy, or he's a stingy man, or he's a stinge.

Feifei: Anyway Neil, where's my birthday present?

Neil: Your birthday present? Ha! Forget it!

Feifei: You really are a stinge, aren't you? 如果大家想学到更多英式英语的新词汇和新表达,都可以登陆我们的网站 www.bbcchina.com.cn。 See you next time.
