（单词翻译）

Helen: This is Real English from BBC Learning English. I’m Helen.

Jean: And I’m Jean.

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

Jean: 在我们的Real English地道英语节目中，我们要来学学当今英国最新出现的一些新词汇和新说法。Now Helen，今天我们要学的新词是什么呢？

Helen: Today’s expression is ‘chipping’ – C.H.I.P.P.I.N.G. – chipping.

Jean: Chipping. 给我们讲讲它的意思好吗？

Helen: Well, chipping is something you do to a game console, like a Playstation.

Jean: 我想你说的chipping 是和Playstation这样的电子游戏机有关系，对吗？不过chipping到底是什么意思呢？

Helen: Well, game consoles are usually protected. They only play games from certain regions. For example, a Chinese console only plays games from China, and the same with a UK one. Chipping means altering them to play games from all regions.

Jean: 这么说，chipping就是给电子游戏机解除它的地域限制，解码的意思。

Helen: Yes. But chipping is now illegal in many countries, and you can get into big trouble if you do it.

Insert

A: I hear John has been in trouble with the police.

B: Yes, he was arrested for chipping game consoles. He had to pay a £500 fine!

 

Jean: Is chipping in the UK common?

Helen: Yes. I think it’s quite common, but the police are trying to catch people who are chipping their game consoles.

Jean: So chipping is illegal.

Helen: Yes, chipping is a crime.

Jean: 好了，让我们回顾一下，chipping就是给电子游戏机解除它的地域限制，解码的意思，And that’s all we have time for today.

Helen: Yes, that’s all. You’ve been listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. See you next time.

Jean: Bye.
