   William: Hello! You’re listening to Authentic1 Real English. My name’s William Kremer and I’m joined by Feifei Feng.

  Feifei: 大家好,我是冯菲菲。欢迎收听《地道英语》,今天我们要学习的这个词是... um…
  William: Is there something wrong, Feifei?
  Feifei: Yeah, I’ve got the wrong script2. Can I blag a spare one off you?
  If you run out of milk you can blag some from a friend
  William: Ah sorry Feifei, I’ve only got one copy. But you just used an interesting word there, so shall we talk about that?
  Feifei: Which word, script? 稿子?
  William: No no, after that! What did you say again?
  Feifei: Can I blag a spare script off you? 没错儿, to blag 是一个非常英式表达。
  William: If you blag something off someone you ask for something of low value or you borrow something. Can I blag a pen off you Feifei?
  Feifei: Sure, of course. Here you are. 我们一起来听一个例子,这个人在 blagging 什么东西?
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Example
  A: Can I just blag some milk off you for my tea?
  B: Yeah, ok. But if you’re putting the kettle3 on, can you pour a cup for me?
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  William: She blagged some milk for her tea.
  Feifei: To blag 的意思就是问某人要一个价值不高的东西,便宜的东西,或是向某人借一样东西。注意这是一个非正式用语。我们还能怎么用呢 William?
  William: Yes. We can use it if we persuade someone to do something for us, possibly by tricking them!
  Feifei: 用欺骗的方式说服某人干一件事情,这好像不很道德吧!
  William: Well, it’s usually just little things. Listen to this example…
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Example
  A: I had a fantastic time at that party last night.
  B: What, the party in the bar downstairs?
  A: Yeah.
  B: But I thought it was invitation-only!
  A: It was but I blagged my way in.
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Feifei: 在这个例子里,说话的一方没有被邀请参加一个派队,不过他 blagged his way in, 也就是说它想方设法的说服了门卫,放他进去。
  William: Have you ever blagged your way into a party or maybe a nightclub, Feifei?
  Feifei: 当然没有了,你知道,所有的活动我都会受到邀请,没必要去 to blag.
  William: Well, I envy4 you. I don’t get so many invitations so I’m a real blagger.
  Feifei: A blagger 指一个经常需要 blag 的人。你知道这个词难在哪儿了吗 William?
  William: Yes, the pronunciation. To blag B.L.A.G. sounds like to brag5 B.R.A.G. but it has a very different meaning so watch out!
  Feifei: 去 to blag 还有去 to brag, 真容易混淆。感谢大家收听今天的《地道英语》,可以登陆我们的网站收听更多的英语教学节目 www.bbcukchina.com.
