(单词翻译)

Chen Li: 大家好,我是陈黎.

Vicki : I’m Vicki. Today we’re going to look at words and phrases that have recently become part of the English language.

Chen Li: 在今天地纯正英语节目里,我们要学习那个新词?

Vicki : Today’s new word is ‘rip1 off’.

Chen Li: Rip off. 能解释一下吗?

Vicki : Rip off means to cheat someone, to make them pay too much for something.

Chen Li: 我明白了,rip off 的意思是欺骗人的意思,在汉语里类似敲竹杠或宰客的意思. 你能再说的再详细一点吗?

Vicki : Sure. Rip off can be a noun2, so, you might say ‘don’t go to see that film. it’s a rip off’.

Chen Li: 意思是说,看那部电影就是浪费钱,那家电影院是在欺骗人,宰客.

Vicki : Well, yes. You can also use it as a verb. You might say ‘I think the waiter ripped3 us off with the restaurant bill. It was more expensive than I expected.’

Chen Li: 看来,Rip off 即可以用作动词也可以用作名名词.

Vicki : Yes, that’s right.

A: How much did you pay for a coffee at the airport?

B: Five pounds! What a rip off!

A: Always check the price before you pay.

B: Yes. That way they won’t rip me off.

Vicki : I think I was ripped off in a restaurant the other day.

Chen Li: 真的?究竟发生了什么?

Vicki : Well, when I paid the bill, it was very expensive.

Chen Li: 你觉得自己上当了?

Vicki : Yes. I have been there before, and I didn’t pay so much.

Chen Li: 那你说没说‘Don’t rip me off’?

Vicki : No. I didn’t want to cause problems, so I just paid.

Chen Li: 你还会再去哪个地方吗?

Vicki : Never. It’s a rip off.

 

Chen Li: 剩下的时间不多了,我们再复习一下今天的词语吧.

Vicki: rip off

Chen Li: 欺骗;敲竹杠即可以是名词也可以是动词.

Vicki : You’ve been listening to Real English from BBC Learning4 English. Join us again soon for more up-to-the-minute Real English. Bye.

Chen Li: 下次再会.
