The script of this programme 本節(jié)目臺(tái)詞

Neil: Hello and welcome to Authentic Real English with me Neil...

Li: ...and me Li. Hello.

Neil: In this programme, we're talking about clothes.

Li: (very excited) 衣服! 這可是我最喜歡的話(huà)題了 my favourite subject in the whole world! 我通曉所有的名牌，也都穿過(guò)。咱們就來(lái)談?wù)勎业囊路?let's talk about MY clothes.

Neil: Well... actually Li, I thought we could talk about our smalls.

Li: Smalls 小衣服？你認(rèn)為我穿的衣服太小？你不是在說(shuō)我胖吧？

Neil: No, no Li. You look fine. 'Smalls' is a word we use for underwear.

Li: Smalls 內(nèi)衣褲。這么說(shuō)你是在談?wù)撆撕湍腥藘?nèi)褲啦、襪子啦還有女人帶的胸罩啦什么的...

Neil: Yes. And we can refer to our underwear as 'smalls' or 'undies'.

Li: Undies 內(nèi)衣內(nèi)褲。這倒挺容易記的，因?yàn)?undies 就是我們穿在外衣里面的衣服。

Neil: Two easy words to remember when you talk about underwear. And remember they are always plural.

Li: I see. 這兩個(gè)詞永遠(yuǎn)都是以復(fù)數(shù)形式出現(xiàn)，所以決不能說(shuō) one undie 或者 one small. 記住這兩個(gè)詞是統(tǒng)稱(chēng)的內(nèi)衣褲所以要加復(fù)數(shù)。

Neil: Yes. Let's hear some examples of how these words are used.

Examples

• Linda, hurry up or we'll miss the plane! Don't forget to pack your smalls!
• Billy, don't walk around the house in your undies. Your granny is coming to visit and she'll be here at any time.

Neil: Now don't forget that these words for underwear are very informal and British slang.

Li: 請(qǐng)大家記住這兩個(gè)詞是非正式用語(yǔ)，而且屬于英語(yǔ)中的俚語(yǔ)。Well, smalls and undies can look good too - even if not many people will see them.

Neil: Oh, you want to talk about fashion now.

Li: Of course. I love fashion! Do you love fashion, Neil?

Neil: Er... not much... no.

Li: Come on! Come on, Neil! Let's go shopping! I can help you choose the trendiest clothes... you've got to have style. Let's go! Come on!

Neil: OK. OK.

Li: Bye!
