BBC初級口語:我玩起來就和小孩子一樣~~
【對話文本】
VICKI: We're going to go back to school.
CALLUM: Because if you want to get ahead, you need a good education!
VICKI: That's right. Well one way to get ahead with English is to use more phrasal verbs. For example:
CALLUM: 'get ahead' education certainly helped me get ahead - it helped me to become more successful than other people
VICKI: It must have done Callum because now you're working with me!
CALLUM: And that really is getting ahead!
VICKI: So what were your school days like, Callum?
CALLUM: Well..I suppose I got on okay.
VICKI: So you were quite successful.
CALLUM: I got on okay, yeah. Sometimes I messed around.
VICKI: Ah, you were sometimes naughty, and just played when you should've been working?
CALLUM: Yes, I messed around sometimes, just like most kids.
【參考譯文】
VICKI:我們打算回學校了
CALLUM:因爲如果你想再上一個臺階，就需要接受更好的教育。
VICKI:是的，把英語學好的一個好辦法就是使用更多的短語動詞，例如……
CALLUM:“get ahead”。是的，我接受的教育確實給了我很大的幫助——讓我比其他的人更成功
VICKI:這是肯定的，Callum，因爲你現在和我一起工作呢。
CALLUM:這確實是一種進步。
VICKI:那麼，你的學生生活是怎樣的，Calum?
CALLUM:恩，我覺得還不錯。
VICKI:這麼說，你很成功了
CALLUM:是的，大多數時候都很好，有的時候也比較大意。
VICKI:恩？你有的時候該工作的時候也會很很任性，只顧着玩嗎？
CALLUM:是的，我有時候玩心很重，就和小朋友一樣。
