The english we speak(BBC教學)第25期:Doing my head in讓我頭疼
Jennifer: Hello and welcome to The English We Speak from BBC Learning English. My name is Jennifer and Li is with me here in the studio.
珍妮佛:大家好,歡迎來到BBC學英語之我們所説的英語。我的名字是珍妮佛,和我一起在演播室的是李。Li: Hello everyone. What have you been doing this morning, Jen?
李:大家好。你這個早晨在幹什麼,珍?Jennifer: Oh I've been playing on this great new game on my smartphone. It's a puzzle where you have to find matching pictures of fruit. Now it sounds easy, but it's really addictive.
珍妮佛:哦,我一直在玩我智能手機上的新遊戲。這是一個連水果圖片的遊戲。雖然聽起來簡單,但非常讓人着迷。
Li: I love puzzles like this, especially when they're really addictive. Can I have a go?
李:我喜歡玩這種遊戲,特別是讓人着迷的那種。我可以試試嗎?Jennifer: Yes, you can. In fact, I'm stuck on level 33. I can't complete it at all. Why don't you see if you can do it for me? It's doing my head in!
珍妮佛:可以。事實上,我卡在第33關了。我實在是完成不了它。你為什麼不幫我試着完成一下哪?這真的太讓我頭疼了!Li: OK, give it to me and I'll see what I can do. Jen said that the computer game is 'doing her head in'. If something is 'doing your head in', it means it is frustrating or annoying.
李:好的,給我看看我能不能通關。珍説這個遊戲“讓她頭疼”。如果一件事“讓你頭疼”,這意思是這件事很令人沮喪或煩惱。Jennifer: It's a phrase which is often used by young people, it's a slang phrase. Let's hear some examples of how you might use it:
珍妮佛:這是一個經常被年輕人使用的短語,是一個諺語。讓我們來聽一聽如何使用它的例子:Can you please turn that music down? It's so loud and it's really doing my head in!
你可以把音樂關小點嗎?它聲音太大了,讓我很頭疼!I've done all my maths homework, except question two. I can't work out the answer and it's really doing my head in.
我完成了所有數學作業,出了第二個問題。我做不出答案而且它太讓我頭疼了。I hate it when people drop litter in the street - it does my head in to see so much rubbish everywhere.
我痛恨人們在街上扔垃圾,垃圾到處是很讓我頭疼。Jennifer: So the computer game is doing my head in because I find it difficult. It's frustrating.
珍妮佛:這個遊戲讓我頭疼是因為我覺得它很難,讓人失望。Li: You can also say that people are doing your head in, if they annoy you in some way.
李:你還可以説人們讓你頭疼如果他們在某方面讓你煩惱。I don't want to invite Sonia to the Christmas party. She gossips all the time. She really does my head in.
我不想邀請索尼婭來聖誕派對。她總是説閒話,她讓我頭疼。Jennifer: So 'doing your head in' is a really useful phrase to know,wouldn't you agree, Li?
珍妮佛:所以“讓你頭疼”是一個很有用的短語,你同意嗎,李?Li: Yes! Yes!
李:太好了!太好了!Jennifer: Li, I said: 'doing your head in is a really useful phrase'.
珍妮佛:李,我説“讓你頭疼”是一個很有用的短語。Li: Hang on... If I can just match these pictures... Yes! Level 34!
李:等一下...如果我能連上這些圖片...好的!34關!Jennifer: Li, it's been five hours. I need my phone back now.
珍妮佛:李,已經5個小時了。我想拿回我的手機。Li: But I'm on to level 79 - just let me get to level 80 and I'll give it back to you.
李:但是我已經79級了,讓我玩到80級就還給你。Jennifer: Oh Li, you're really doing MY head in. Join us again for another edition of The English We Speak from BBC Learning !
珍妮佛:哦,李,你現在確實讓我頭疼。加入我們來獲取其他版本的我們所説的英語。再見!
