地道英语在线听-Celeb 名人

（单词翻译）

Jean: And I’m Jean.

Jo: In Real English, we look at words and phrases that you might not find in your dictionary.

Jean: 和汉语一样，英语语言里是充满了成语和口语词的，所以学习和了解这些短语和口语词是非常有用的。尤其这些说法和语言都是英国人日常说到用到的。那Jo，我们今天要来学习的新词是什么呢？

Jo: Today’s word is ‘celeb’ – C.E.L.E.B. – celeb.

Jean: Celeb. 给我们解释一下好吗？

Jo: Well, it’s quite simple. A celeb is a celebrity², or famous person, a star.

Jean: 原来celeb就是英语口语里“名人”的意思。

Jo: That’s right. You could say “All the celebs live in Hollywood”.

Jean: 或者你可以问 “Who is your favourite celeb?”

A: Look at the prices on the menu! This restaurant is really expensive!

B: Yes, but lots of celebs come here, that’s why!

Jo: Are you interested in celebs’ private lives, Jean?

Jean: Not really. And you?

Jo: Actually, yes. I really like reading magazines about the lives of celebs, their houses, hobbies etc.

Jean: Really?

Jo: Yes. My favourite celeb is Brad Pitt.

Jean: Why is he so interesting?

Jo: I like his films – and he’s a very handsome celeb!

Jean: Yes I agree.

Jo: Yes, he’s the kind of celeb I like!
